I Regressed 300 Years to Open a Quiet Inn

gbolgurov

F21/100
Roen Ashveil was the Archmage of the Crimson Tower — the most powerful mage to ever live. He spent three centuries fighting wars, burying friends, and shaping kingdoms. Then he died alone on a bad chair. The next second, he wakes in his nineteen-year-old body with all his memories intact and one firm decision: he will not be the hero this time. He is opening an inn. Unfortunately, Millhaven is not the kind of town that lets people stay uninvolved. There are debts crushing good families, fields where the soil has started to die, and nobles who smile while tightening chains. People keep finding their way to Roen's door — a sharp-tongued merchant woman, a boy too clever for the life he was born into, a tired guild captain watching the southern road. Every spell risks exposure. Every kindness becomes attachment. And beneath the quiet fields, something old is beginning to wake.

Magic Breaker

Kernoel77

F21/100
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.

Incarnation of Sorcery

GeorgieD

F21/100
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.

Demonic City Builder

Cattacomb

F21/100
He filed 101 support tickets. The System turned him into a demon. Kairon is a system clerk who finally gets his own city charter. He does what any good bureaucrat would: reads the entire Terms of Service, finds a loophole, and exploits it. Unfortunately, doing so calls down a pillar of hellfire that roasts him, his villagers, and everything within a league. Now he's a demon with ten confused imps, a giant tower with a floating eyeball, and a rudimentary system that tears buildings through rends in reality — while a theocratic empire prepares to hunt him down.

Runeforged: Path of the Paladin

M.S. Davidson

F21/100
Ben Crawford shouldn't be here. One moment he's on Earth; the next he wakes up in an inescapable room that seems intent on erasing him. Then, just as suddenly, he's somewhere else entirely — dropped onto a world where humanity is barely more than a myth. On Ark, power is everything, and Runebinding magic is the key to survival. Ben shouldn't be able to use it, but he can — and he's learning faster than anyone should. Fighting alongside monster hunters and wielding powers of Light, Ben quickly discovers that being an anomaly comes with a price. Some see his strength as an opportunity; others see it as a threat. As faction politics turn against him and ancient powers take notice, Ben must navigate a world that doesn't know what to do with him, all while something far more dangerous watches from beyond. Humanity was never meant to be part of this story — but to survive what's coming, Ben must forge a new path as the first Paladin in a world that needs one.

How to Heal a Soul

S.Kasper

F20/100
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.

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.

Reborn in another world of magic and flying ships, Det only wants one thing — to leave.

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.

This Necromancer Raised Civilization Instead Of The Dead

Bimbanana

F18/100
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.

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.

Ether Atlas - The Hidden Grid

Lucas Arden

F17/100
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.

Her first stop takes her to Canyon Falls, a small mining town with a big goblin problem — the perfect place to make a name for herself, or a disaster waiting to happen. Only through struggle can strength be gained, and Rika has never been at her best until all the odds are stacked against her.

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.
