Arcane Chef

Srsli

A80/100
Trevor has been training since he was a child for a life of combat and adventure — ten years of gruelling preparation. On the year of his 15th birthday, the day of choosing arrives only to have his entire world crushed as he is assigned the class 'Arcane Chef', an unknown rare class with no known history or levelling path. Being a cooking class, he's relegated to the Servant class of society. The journey travels through his struggles to come to terms with this class, trying to keep his friendships intact and make new ones. Unbeknownst to all, Arcane Chef will have a drastic impact on the world as a whole. Join Trevor as he discovers his class, travels the world, and seeks the glory, adventure, and friendship he thought he had lost — all while cooking amazing food.

The Allbright System

LunaWolve

A80/100
Thea has always dreamed of joining the United Human Federation marine corps, ever since she was saved by one of their soldiers as a child growing up in the Undercity of Lumiosia. Getting there from a mid-world means earning credits, and her years spent repairing arcade machines and mastering their simulators have given her a head start. On the eve of the monthly ladder reset, a brand-new challenge appears from nowhere — one that changes the course of her life forever. Set against a galaxy-wide war, the story follows how a unique System interacts with each faction in the conflict, with each side receiving a distinct system-trait that fundamentally changes how war is waged.

Rune Seeker

C.J. Thompson, J.M. Clarke

A80/100
Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior and studies longer than any scholar, but all his people channel magic through sun-powered tattoos — and despite enormous energy within, Hiral alone cannot. In a moment of danger, he unlocks an achievement granting him access to a dungeon — his first and maybe last chance at real power. All dungeons lie in the wilderness below the flying islands, places of secrets and dangers that no one has survived. New powers await, but so do new challenges. If he survives, he could forge his own path to power. If he fails, death will be the least of his problems.

Path of Dragons

nrsearcy

A80/100
Elijah is dying. Afflicted with terminal cancer, he boards a plane to spend his remaining time with his sister in the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, Earth is transformed by the touch of the World Tree, injecting it with magical Ethera and connecting it to a larger universe via the System — and causing his plane to crash on a deserted island. Through the System, Elijah gains the Druid archetype, which may be enough to survive a hostile environment full of powerful monsters, starvation, and the elements. Meanwhile his sister Alyssa must survive the collapse of civilization while keeping her family safe.

A Touch of Power

Jay Boyce

Then she wakes up one morning without the sounds of her life support, opens her eyes, and finds herself with a weak but healthy body in a magical world. As game-like system notifications fill her vision, she knows she'll have to adapt quickly to survive. This is Andara — where her true adventure finally begins.

This Trilogy is Broken

J.P. Valentine

A79/100
The Questing Stones have come to Nowherested, and Evelia Greene is finally ready to receive her life's quest. Perhaps she'll be a great warrior, a wealthy merchant, or a brilliant mage. Or perhaps the Questing Stones will grant her the Legendary mission of popping over to the next village to pick up a loaf of bread. Eve can't guess how a level 1 Messenger Girl is supposed to complete anything labeled Legendary, but one way or another — through wolves, goblins, and spontaneously combusting bakeries — she is going to get that gods-damned bread. There just might be a few Side Quests along the way.

E.M. Hardy

A78/100
At seventeen, Renan Saneris was still waiting for a talent to emerge. While everyone around him got a Class and moved on, he tried his hand at Smithing, Sword Fighting, and Artistry with little result — no skill trees, no saved experience, no class features. One day, etching symbols into a blade as a gift for his best friend, the glyphs start glowing and awaken something in him: Artificer, Level One. No one around him has ever heard of such a class. But when strange shadows attack his village and he barely chases them off with one of his new creations, Renan decides to investigate — and discovers that his mysterious Class may be more than meets the eye.

Spire's Spite

Octophobia

A78/100
Today wasn't one of Fritz's best days — mainly because he'd been beaten, kidnapped, stuffed in a cell with a slew of other captives, then forced to climb a particularly malevolent Spire. The Spires have stood tall for thousands of years as cities, kingdoms, and empires rise and fall around them. Inside are Treasures, Monsters, and most importantly, Powers. Every floor conquered gives a choice of magical Abilities or Attributes that, when built up and chosen well, could raise even a street urchin to a king or beyond. Which is lucky for Fritz and his crew — urchins and thieves caught in a deadly peril. Climb or die.

Persimmon

A78/100
Nicholas Crowley is used to scraping by in a world where magic is dying. The modern age has left the arcane behind, and the few remaining practitioners fight over scraps like starving dogs. While performing a ritual, something interferes and his soul is ripped from his body. He awakens during the Class ceremony as Nick, a kid living on the frontier of the Green Ocean — a seemingly infinite expanse of trees brimming with rare ingredients and powerful creatures. Mana is abundant here, and the omnipresent System allows for feats he had once thought impossible. But legends walk the land, and gods require their due. Will his experience as an occultist be enough to navigate this wild new world?
