Arcanist In Another World

BleedingTears

B65/100
Valens Kosthal is the youngest Life Archmagus the Empire has ever seen. His mastery over Resonance allows him to hear the frequencies of the world and correct them — healing even the deepest wounds. Yet the full scope of his abilities is forbidden, and the little he can practice must be done in secret. When an ancient ritual promises to reveal the truth behind it all, he leaps at the chance. It leaves him alone in an unfamiliar world, deep in a dungeon crawling with rotten skeletons and towering beasts — and a System that grants him the secrets of Warmagic. Valens no longer needs to hold back.

Gamble for Azeroth

Jesse Desire

B65/100
Arvis Godwyn was not a lucky man. Having Grand Marshall Garithos as his uncle and regent of his house was bad enough. Being exiled to guard the ruins of Stratholme was worse. But things truly spiral when he receives news of King Terenas' assassination — delivered in a very unusual manner. Now armed with a Chaos Gacha Variant System, Arvis must navigate a world unraveling around him.

Wishlist Wizard: The Rise of the Zero Hero

marshalcarper

B65/100
Wayne appeared in the summoning chambers for Chosen Heroes. While getting isekaied was good news, he was fifty years off the usual cycle — his body didn't become superhuman, and his system access was glitched. He could open menus, but his only clickable option was to view his unimpressive stats, and another called Christmas List was greyed out entirely. Four years into living his second quiet life, he happens upon a strange artifact from Earth: a single page from the 1990 Electronics Boutique Christmas Catalog. His once-inactive ability gives him the power to add skills and abilities to his system by ripping them from the games listed in the catalog. With a second lease on his second life, Wayne sets out with his best friend Fergus to collect more catalog pages — combining abilities from wildly different game systems and trying not to repeat the mistakes of his past.

Wage Slave to Archmage

Mike Blackmoor

B65/100
Finn was a Senior Engineer at Google. He died at his desk at 3 AM and woke up penniless in the gutter of Cinderhold — a brutal world where humanity sits at the bottom of the food chain. His magic talent is non-existent. His mana is pathetic. Then the System loads, giving him the Genesis Editor: a tool that lets him optimize spells the way a programmer debugs code. But the System isn't free — it runs on money. To survive Abyssal horrors and corrupt mages, Finn needs gold, and he'll brew black-market tonics and exploit dungeon glitches to get it. They call it cheating. He calls it a feature.

Svaldyr

B64/100
After eight years of leading her guild in endless PvP conflict in her favorite dark fantasy MMO, shut-in Ai Kanbara finally felt ready to face reality — only to transmigrate into the game world as her max-level character. But the world has moved on. The artificial God-Engine she built to banish the darkness has developed a critical flaw, her guildmates are either missing or deified as the patron gods of a crumbling empire, and a message from her oldest friend reveals a terrible truth: they were betrayed by one of their own. To uncover the fates of her guildmates and push back against the tyrannies of the Republic ruling in her character's name, Ai must become her legend in truth. Accompanied by her loyal lizard-dog and new companions, she begins a journey across a vibrant world of brutal stakes and deep human connection.

Colin Parker, Oleg Sapphire

For Varg — a sociopath with no ties and no regrets — this brutal new world feels almost tailor-made. Following Varg across a system-driven apocalypse, the series sends him through zombie-infested cities, alien worlds, interdimensional challenges, and encounters with gods, vampires, elves, and worse. Each new threat is another test the system is all too happy to provide.

Adventures on Terra

R.A. Mejia

Armon Ellington — an orphan, gamer, and RPG geek — dies after a seventy-two-hour gaming marathon.

But more than power, Armon wants friends and family — the things he never had on Earth.

A Tyrant, Sort Of

farawaymuse

B64/100
Sable didn't know what she'd expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard wasn't it. Thrust into a magic-filled fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, things aren't entirely great: there are hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal undead legion to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms that want the first dragon in centuries dead. What's more, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats make her stronger the more gold she has and the more people fear her — which explains why dragons in the past were such unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less evil ways to progress. What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be?

Found in the ruins of the Old City, the orphan Alarion is taken in by Assessor Elena, who bends the rule of law to adopt him into the House of Hunger.

After all, potential unrealized is no power at all.

Sporemageddon

RavensDagger

B64/100
Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

The Way of Etherforging

RJ Shoke

Cedrick Jonkheer, left with nothing but a sarcastic AI and some superpowers, watched his world end and hid himself at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. "Etherforging," his AI called it: taking the same power that destroyed the world and making it his own. Advance. Grow stronger. Forge himself into someone who could survive a mad universe.

Fleabag

SomeoneToForget

B64/100
In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box — with knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine. It simply wished to live another day. In the industrial underbelly of Carmera, gangs, religious groups, Dungeon Barons, and cultists battle for supremacy — blind to what prowls below. In the writhing smog and murky sumps that none dare approach, in the deepest reaches of the dungeon, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky.
