Newly Summoned Demoness

Erios909

D37/100
When demon-worshiping cultists summon Elania to their world to revive their dead god, a sudden attack sends her fleeing into Eladu's darkest depths. Amid savage predators and underground monsters, she discovers that her newfound abilities are both a formidable weapon and a haunting burden that threatens to reshape her very soul. Climbing toward civilization means contending with anti-demon sentiment and those who would use her as a source of arcane power. Elania is not alone, however — Yolani, an arcane artificer fighting her own battle, finds her fate inexplicably linked to Elania's. Together, they might just be the key to each other's survival.

R. A. Mejia

Cosmosis

Pel-Mel

D37/100
Caleb hasn't had a good day since he was abducted into outer space. The food is terrible, nobody understands a word he says, and the aliens won't let him leave his cell. Best he can tell, he'll need to fight to escape and survive. Confronted with hostile aliens intent on holding him prisoner, Caleb chooses to dive headfirst into forces he can't understand — learning the eddies of the alien worlds he's stranded in, or never making it home. If a hallucination of one of the other abductees can be trusted, maybe they can make it through the trials before them.

Goblin Summoner

Tracy Gregory

D37/100
When an accident claims his life, Gareth finds himself reborn on Acamida — a world where sorcerers draw magical power from a deck of cards, summoning monsters and flinging spells.

Joined by a fallen goddess, a deposed demon king, and a surly local, Gareth sets out into a realm where experience points and levels are very real. As he finds new cards and grows in power, the rumbles of war stir in the west — and if he's going to survive, he'll need to master his deck and find the strength hidden within his goblin allies.

Unbound Ascension – Coreless

Carcian

D37/100
When Earth is integrated into the Multiverse, humanity gains stats, skills, and magic — but only a select few are granted System Cores, becoming Core-bearers with a clear path to power. Cade Whitehollow, a burned-out, indebted postdoc who has just been fired, is not one of them. Thrown into a lethal Tutorial designed for Core-bearers, Cade must survive the brutal grind of becoming eligible to forge a Core of his own while others level, cast spells, and surge ahead. Monsters evolve. Humans turn on each other. And buried somewhere in the chaos of the Tutorial is an ancient path to power — one even the System cannot control.

License to Cultivate

MTalon

D37/100
Chang-li may be a humble scribe, but he dreams of becoming a cultivator. When a ghost's legacy gives him a chance to follow that dream, he seizes it — defying the hidebound Empire and its vast array of rules and customs as he masters lux and perfects himself. But a cultivator needs more than just power. He needs a sect. What starts as a scheme to avoid punishment becomes far more as Chang-li and his friends find themselves reviving the ancient Sect of Morning Mist and its lost techniques. A slave can win his freedom. A princess can discard her upbringing. The sect offers a chance to claim what's forbidden — if they can avoid entangling marriages, official scrutiny, and the wrath of more powerful enemies. Cultivation with a tower-climbing twist. Character-driven and full of action and intrigue.

Nullform

Dem Mikhailov

In this world, everyone arrives with no memory of their past life and no limbs — everything is rented, and payment is due daily. The System assigns tasks; fail to complete them and you're fined and stripped of everything. Blind spots in the System's surveillance hide brutal, lawless violence. You are assigned a number. You are a volitional Nullform. Adapt, survive, and climb — or be swallowed by the endless pit of debt. This world will not take pity on you.

Peasant Farmer to Emperor Mage

Jacob is, by his own parents' estimation, a waste of a human. He flunked out of college, can't hold a job, and is approaching thirty with nothing to show for it. Then an incident removes him from their lives entirely — and sets him on the path of reincarnation, guided by a friendly old man into a world of magic. Reborn as the son of peasant farmers in the world of Meldra, Jacob uses his knowledge of modern agriculture and a touch of magic to turn his humble origins around. What begins as a slice-of-life story of survival and farming gradually opens into a broader magical adventure as the world's system comes into full focus.

Passive Aggressive

N Conceivable

D35/100
A meth lab, a rift, and an alien invasion that goes sideways — humanity repels the attack and immediately launches its own counter-conquest into the invaders' realm. Liam has had a rough life and sees this as his one chance to make something of himself. To maximize his gains, he accepts a brutal trade-off: no offensive powers, no weapons, not even a thrown punch. In exchange, he receives passive abilities that could make him unstoppable — if he survives long enough to use them. The Gold Rush 2.0 is on, the competition is murderous, and Liam's only edge is learning to turn passivity into dominance.

The Nth Awakening

MonkeySleepsWell

D35/100
Eighty percent of D-Grades are dead within five years — and Marcus just tested F. Heir apparent to a military dynasty of a thousand years, groomed since childhood to be their saviour in mech combat and politics, his future collapses in a single verdict. Stripped of his name and family, classified as expendable, he is thrown into the Federation's lowest ranks with one purpose: stand on the front line and bleed long enough for the real soldiers to finish the job. He has no cultivation advantages, no hidden master, no system-granted blessings — only a half-functional interface that shouldn't exist, and a body the machine refused to classify. In a galaxy where power flows to those who obey the system, Marcus is about to discover what happens when you break every rule.

Thrown into a brutal world of monstrous scenarios and scheming deities, Maximillian must exploit his unparalleled knowledge of hidden mechanics to survive and master the ultimate class — one that lets him inherit fragments of divine heroes' power and manipulate scenarios through plausibility itself.
