Author Artemis

F23/100
Zack Adder spent four years as a double agent hacker for governments around the world — and then systematically scrubbed his existence from every network on the planet. On the first day of his return to normal life, he was struck by a truck and died. But that wasn't the end. Swept up in another man's hero summoning, Zack has been tasked by Earth's God with discovering the truth about another world's Goddess, Church, and summoning ritual — armed with nothing but a unique skill: [The Learn]. A man who has played many roles, Zack must now figure out who he really is underneath all the masks.

Magic Breaker

Kernoel77

F22/100
The only thing Snow loves more than magic is taking it apart. When the Tower begins integrating Earth, humanity is granted inherent skills. Snow's [Suppression] can weaken anyone and anything, and combined with an anti-magic class and a near-limitless mana pool, it won't matter how strong, fast, or skilled an enemy is. Before the Tower fully integrates, Snow needs to find four specific people. After that, they will climb — all the way to the top. The arrogant gods watching from the Tower's peak need to be torn from their thrones, and Snow is ready to break them.

A Dragon Called Bob

Milc

F22/100
Being isekai'd into the body of a dragon whose only task is to guard and grow a pile of shiny treasure seemed like a win to Bob. Flight, Might, Bite — and all it cost him was dying? Fair trade. There's even a dungeon core as a bonus to his starting pile of treasure. Unfortunately, his dungeon sprite is a borderline-psychotic 1,200-year-old pixie from a cultivation world who just missed out on becoming a god. She isn't happy about interning for a lizard. The challenges are endless for a newly hatched dragon: idiots with magic swords looking to take his head, a dungeon to grow, a burning desire to expand his hoard — and the uncomfortable need to become a better person before the next downgrade arrives.

Six Souls

Milc

F22/100
Ray was a professional killer, bound by a code that kept him sharp, careful, and alive. When a mission goes wrong, he awakens in a brutal new world where survival means taking lives and growing stronger with every soul consumed. Among six exiles from Earth, only one can return home — and five must die. Ray needs to get back to settle a score, so the other earthlings are out of luck. Empire-building, conquest, and survival in a Dark Souls-inspired world where the system arrives early and mercy arrives never.

Fate Unraveled

Rustpen

F21/100
Haoyujin Jieyuan was born for greatness — of that, if nothing else, he's certain. In a ruthless world where power is everything and might makes right, there's only one path he can take, no matter how painful it promises to be. When Jieyuan joins the Gleaming Stone Sect, he does so intending to outstrip everyone else and quickly ascend through the ranks. Instead, he ends up in third place in the entrance trials, grossly overshadowed. He remains undeterred — until he mysteriously regains memories of a previous life after a failed assassination attempt. Realizing there's something big going on beneath the surface of the world, Jieyuan reevaluates his priorities and sets his sights much farther. Setting down this path might mean pitting himself against Fate itself, but nothing ventured is nothing gained.

Ether Atlas - The Hidden Grid

Lucas Arden

F21/100
In 1974, a stranger handed Gary Gygax the rules of D&D. Fifty years later, the world found out why. The System is here. Millions are dead, ancient monuments hum with energy, and human biology has become a character sheet. Arthur Ashworth is a structural engineer who reads monsters like damaged buildings. Donna Callas is a security consultant who fights like she was trained for this. Steve Parr is an archaeologist who just realized his entire career was fieldwork for the apocalypse. Their guide is an alien construct with strong opinions about human architecture and absolutely no intention of telling them anything useful. They were a D&D party every Thursday. Now the dungeons are real, the monsters are real, the stats are real, and the ancient ruins they raid were built by something that has been watching humanity for thirty-five thousand years.

This Necromancer Raised Civilization Instead Of The Dead

Bimbanana

F20/100
In a world of magic and dragons, humanity's greatest hope is the Summoned Heroes. The Church of the Goddess, the only institution capable of performing the summoning ritual, made a catalogue — different tiers, different classes, different budgets. Because even the poor deserve their own personal hero. Unfortunately, one budget-conscious kingdom got Theo: a professional séance scammer and a necromancer who couldn't control the dead. So they threw him away. What no one knows is that Theo can summon the dead — but his System only lets him call souls from Earth. From Archimedes to Nikola Tesla, Julius Caesar to George Patton, Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. Men who shaped civilizations, now answering to a scammer. A kingdom forged from Earth's greatest minds to devour other kingdoms — and perhaps even the Goddess herself. There is just one problem: right next door lies the Demon Kingdom, and it has been waiting.

Myriad Rivers to the Sea

Waspark.Writer

F19/100
In a world where an awakened spirit determines your starting point, Li Yu awakens a low-grade blood-red Koi fish — a Grade One, Inferior spirit fit only for a decorative pond. Mocked and with no future in his village, he discovers his "useless" Koi possesses a divine ability: it can devour the spiritual energy and life essence of any aquatic lifeform. To cultivate this power, Li Yu forsakes the path of a glorious disciple and takes the most despised job at the prestigious Green Mountain Sect — fish farmer in the Aquatic Beast Pens. Surrounded by cultivation resources only he can access, he begins a path of silent, hidden growth. Armed with two heaven-sent techniques, he navigates treacherous sect politics from the lowest rung, his growing power concealed behind the aura of a simple fish. While others see a quiet, hardworking orphan, he is an unseen predator in a tranquil pond — patiently absorbing the power to one day become a leviathan that can swallow the seas.

Modivar, the last light of salvation, had done it. He reached max level and saved the world. All it cost him was everything he had ever known and loved. Now he is cursed — he broke his oath, and that oath is killing him. So instead of living out his days as a hero, he chose to go as far away as possible and spend whatever time he has left as nothing more than a simple potion seller. He found a village with no name, no buildings that weren't run down. At his wit's end, at the end of his life, he didn't expect to find Belladonna. He didn't expect to find love. He didn't expect to find a reason to live on beyond death. What started as a prank gone horribly wrong turned into a love story that would last an unlifetime.

Bertt

F18/100
Nathan Brody was an average college student until his death drops him into My Superhero Life, his favourite video game — a romance-action visual novel set in the Ako Superhero Academy. Inside the game, he discovers a strange system: he grows stronger with each dollar he earns. But the plot has gone wrong. Main characters are missing, heroes are siding with villains, and Nathan's own memories are blocked by an unknown force. Enrolled in class 1-F — the misfits — he meets a minor antagonist who sets off a chain of events that never happened in the game. A war is three years away, and he may be the only one who understands what's at stake. A slow-burn superhero progression story with a mystery at its core and an expanding cast of heroines.

How to Heal a Soul

S.Kasper

F18/100
Growing up in an orphanage, Valar never dared to dream of something greater — grand adventures and endless wealth always seemed out of reach. But awakening to his magic far earlier than his peers changes everything. Armed with both life magic and a peculiar fire that burns him as readily as his enemies, Valar sets out to become a healer on his own terms. To do that, he'll need to grow stronger, which means killing beasts, which means adventuring. A slow-burn fantasy series built on a power system rooted in the soul, where ranks mark major milestones rather than endless stat screens, and every cost of pushing past your limits is real — if not always immediately visible.

Alistair is on a crusade against an enemy no one man could ever destroy. So he will become many. The Company of Chains took Alistair's freedom, his family, and his future.

While others spend a lifetime mastering a single path, he can walk many. To survive, he must hide what he is, grow stronger, and split himself again and again. To destroy the empire of slavers that made him, strength alone will not be enough. He will need numbers.

C.J. Thompson

Reborn in another world of magic and flying ships, Det only wants one thing — to leave. For twenty years he has lived on one of the many pillars emerging from a deadly sea of mist, suffering the abuse of locals who accuse him, as a ReSouled, of hijacking the body of an unborn child. Not that he gives a damn what they think. From the moment he found himself reborn in a superhuman body with the magic to bring ink-wash paintings to life, he has had one focus: to get home to the wife and daughter he left behind on Earth. Now the fabled Mistguard — an organization of ReSouled like him — are coming to recruit him. With magic and resources far beyond what is available to him now, the answer to getting home could finally be within reach. To succeed, he will need to excel in an academy of legendary difficulty, master his power, and survive the threat that brought ReSouled to this world in the first place.

NANITE

Lord Turtle the first

F16/100
In the fractured sprawl of Virelia — a city of rusted steel, synthetic dreams, and brutal survival — Ray was just another forgotten face: a streetwise courier scraping by with debts and a sick mother. Then came the ambush. Then came death. Then came something else. A mysterious injector of nanites rebuilt him from the inside out, transforming him into a living weapon that can consume machines and minds alike, wear the faces of the dead, wield their skills as his own, and reshape his body into a formidable arsenal. Hunted by the corporations that engineered his power and the gangs that want to rip it from him, Ray fights to protect the few people he still cares about — but each consumed memory pulls him further from who he once was, blurring the line between protector and monster, man and machine.

GeorgieD

The Realmbreaker Wars unleashed a thousand world-ending Calamities. One such Calamity decided to become an academy teacher. Ryland is one of the oldest living apocalypses the war produced. Experimenting with dangerous rift magic shattered his body and scattered its pieces across the cosmos — pieces that, when left alone, often turn into new Calamities. Armed with a thousand spell glyphs from a thousand worlds, Ryland sets out to stop more of his blood droplets from becoming mad demigods. To do so he must return to his academy, recover his old research, and teach a few oddball students along the way — all while passing an entrance trial gone haywire, fending off Fate itself, and keeping Calamity-worshipping cults from ruining his club activities.
