Strength Based Wizard

RMCollinwood

C55/100
Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low: lost his job, fiancée dumped him, moved back to his parents' basement. Then the System arrives and Earth becomes a playing field in a contest among the gods. Provided the ideal stat array for a physical combat class, the choice is obvious — until Joe fat-thumbs the selection screen and ends up with Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat: 1. With a useless class and only his raw strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. He pumps every stat point into Strength and sets out to win the whole damned thing. A real wizard should be measured by how much he can bench.

Tyrants of Earth

Purveilor

C55/100
All Ryan ever wanted was to become an adventurer — quests, skills, quirky teammates, and posting exploits on Realmnet. Instead he's broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand. Then he gets shot. Then the Trial System chooses him. What follows is a cascade of catastrophes: clashing with authority figures, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and getting blacklisted from the Adventurer's Guild before he's even started. Suddenly Ryan is no longer just a fry cook — he's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds. In a world ruled by Tyrants, Ryan must navigate between Earth and The Realm, where the line between villain and hero adventurer is mostly just attitude.

Kittypunk

RavensDagger

C55/100
She was the world's greatest assassin — a silent threat, the cause of a hundred mysterious deaths, all to feed her cats and pay her rent. And then she died. The last thing she expected was to be reborn as a harmless kitten in the hands of a very strange girl. Now tasked with mentoring the girl in the arts of assassination, Caroline Daniels (now known as the fearsome Queen Violence Von Ragamuffin) has to figure out how to mother an idiot while weighing as much as half a loaf of soggy bread. A lighthearted cyberpunk romp featuring cat shenanigans, found family, a soft progression system, and naps.

The Grim Guys

Eric Ugland

C55/100
Greg and Julian are two frat bros best known to their podcast listeners as master ghost hunters — but when a tornado sucks their van into the air, a goddess from another dimension gives them a stark choice: die, or agree to hunt monsters in a world full of magic and levels. Since when are ghosts the same as monsters? Awkward. But when the alternative is certain death, it seems worth giving it the old college try.

A bargain is struck — Magnus will be reborn in Midgard, empower himself through mystical runes, and battle Odin's foes in exchange for his fallen team receiving a second chance at life. Waking in a small farming village, Magnus must now train and fight both mundane enemies and creatures straight out of myth, across all Nine Realms.

Humanity's #1 Fan

Illiriel

C55/100
When the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too nice — never fit in with the other archfiends. She was supposed to study humanity to help destroy it; instead, she fell in love with it. But as she tears through the tutorial recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don't trust her. Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart] and her class is [Bloodfire Annihilator], but that doesn't make her evil — it just means every enemy drops an extra health potion! It may take some work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic the humans will come around. After all, she has an important secret to tell them: Hell is afraid of humanity.

The Machine God

Xiphias

C55/100
Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own — except for the aliens, the superhumans, and somehow becoming a villain with a supervillain team. Now every hero and bounty hunter in the country is after him. In a world where the rich get away with murder and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys, Alexander intends to change that. At the center of all the madness is a System still being born — shaped by humanity's hopes, greed, and desperation — and it doesn't just want this world. It wants all of them.

Arawn Frostguard

What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it? The people of Earth are about to find out, and it's not going to be pretty. The moment the barrier keeping supernatural powers out collapsed, only the System's intervention held the world together. Mia is one of those tiny people on the floating rocks in the void — and she has much bigger problems, like goblins trying to eat her. It's not all bad: she may have monsters trying to eat her and disturbingly pointy ears, but she seems to have a real talent for magic.

Pain, death, and heartbreak await all who run the gauntlets — but Nil has what it takes to grapple his way to the top. The multiverse is watching. He'll give them a show.

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C54/100
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal. Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.
