Early Adopter

Nat Wenty

F24/100
Private Investigator Scarlet Bourne isn't particularly bothered by the end of the world. When strange windows start appearing in people's vision, counting down three days to "Full Initialization," she does what she always does: she prepares. When the countdown ends, extinction never comes. Instead, the world gets monsters, mana, and the System. Most people panic. Scarlet sees a gap in the market — one an information broker is uniquely qualified to fill. The rules have changed and nobody knows what they are. She intends to be the first to find out, controlling the battlefield from the shadows rather than fighting her way to the top.

In the realm of Premar, where magic is wild and unbound, everything changes when the Path of the Titans unlocks a new System — forcing all magic to obey the laws set forth by the powerful Titans themselves.

He goes from woodcutter to Adventurer to one of the few who can walk the mysterious Path of the Titans, uncovering his mother's past and growing into something far greater.

Maximum Intimidation Knight

D.N. Newyn

F24/100
Sir Henry Hildebraud of Mostenstein is the last of the Knights of Saint Merin — and the most useless of a useless lot. In a world full of magic, he has none. When a rock falls on his head and grants him a system, he expects salvation. What he gets is a hundredfold multiplier on his Intimidation stat, an attribute he never wanted and cannot turn off. Every time Henry speaks, he involuntarily threatens to massacre the local populace. Left with no choice but to pretend he is the most dangerous man alive, he sets out to find the woman rumored to hold the key to restoring the Order of Saint Merin — who is, by all accounts, a total weirdo. A comedy of accidental terror, knightly honor, and a progression system built entirely around downsides.

Truthful Transmigration

Halosty

F23/100
John Miller was a fairly normal young man, working hard to support a family that had run into many financial difficulties. His unexpected death ends his difficult but mundane life — and he wakes up alive, but not himself. Fortkran Tenebach was the young master of a cultivation clan in another world. John barely knows anything about cultivation, but he must make his way with the memories of his new body. His new family isn't as close as his old one was, yet he can't help but want to be honest with them. Certain they've noticed his sudden change in personality, he confesses what happened — a move he expects to be fatal. Quite surprisingly, his family breathes a collective sigh of relief that the old Fortkran is dead. This leaves John to take over his duties, including cultivation, though he has to start from the beginning and isn't sure he won't make some massive mistake.

Now it's up to her to fight back using the same gift that brought this misfortune — the knowledge of a faraway world called Earth.

Runeforged: Path of the Paladin

M.S. Davidson

F23/100
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.

But when a molten corpse clutching a Class Coin throws her into the thick of it, she takes up the coin and joins the ranks of those who travel between Earth and the unnamed other world. With her newfound Gambler class and nothing else, Shelby will brave the dangers of the other world and come back stronger — no matter how much the system doesn't want her to.

Kernoel77

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.

The Apprentice of Ouroboros

Magius Swiftscale

F23/100
Hated by humans. Hunted by monsters. Neska will prove that strength comes from more than defeating foes. Neska Aksen knew early on she was different from other snakes — spending her days giving mice big hugs and reading her witch's tomes in a rustic potion shop. A test ritual unlocked her Interface, revealing that she had a prior life as a human, and the power of Classes and monsters. Her power is unprecedented, but the monsters who fear the Awakened soon learn of her and her witch, forcing her to flee toward Rivilat Academy of the Awakened. With little to go on but steadfast determination and powers from both halves of her soul, Neska must find allies and gather power to survive — and decide what direction her own soul pulls her toward: humanity, or those they're supposed to be fighting against.

Bob the Walking Bank - A Monster Evolution Lit-RPG

Absurdist Ape

F23/100
Investment Banker Robert Stadler was not a happy man — cheating wife, estranged family, soul-crushing work. During a drunken night grieving all of the above, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime via speeding box-truck. Non-refundable. The new start was not as a human being. Now an F-ranked monster — a Lesser Mimic — trapped in an alien dungeon and very much at the bottom of the food chain, Bob must survive a world where his species demands an ever-more-obscene amount of treasure to evolve. His solution: teach the locals how to make their money work for them. It's time to make way for the capitalist revolution.

Sentience came quite suddenly to Suri the slime, leaving him with an insatiable hunger and a vague memory of pretty lights and lots of magic. The forest of his home is crawling with shambling, humanoid monsters possessed of an appetite for magic that would put even his to shame — a fact he's sure is completely unrelated to his arrival. With his first evolution — Guardian Slime — Suri is given his purpose. When he finds the local human village under siege, his path is clear: protect people, eat stuff. But threats lurk around every corner. Pestilent magic spreads the shamblers' curse. Harpies fight for their survival, and a dungeon sprawls beneath the land, poised to swallow unsuspecting slimes. Can a tiny slime make a difference and save the people he cares for?

Dan used to work at a Psychic Agency, making a living by swindling naive clients — until a group of thugs paid him a visit and the world decided it had had enough of humanity. Those who survived the Apocalypse were forced to fight for their lives. Dan didn't become the gray-bearded wizard he'd always hoped to be. Instead, he was forced to start his new life from the very beginning — in the primordial waters, full of algae and unicellular organisms. The goal: evolve and reach the land. Perhaps he should have paid more attention in biology class.

Craft the Planet

Kos

F22/100
In a broken 1930s New York where magic hides behind skyscrapers and monsters lurk in the shadows, thirteen-year-old Oliver Evans has nothing but a sharp mind, a starving stomach, and an impossible new power: the ability to Analyze anything. A bloodstain teaches him chemistry. A loaf of bread reveals magical cooking. A mysterious book hints at bags larger on the inside, living shadows, and a hidden world of guilds buried beneath the city he thought he knew. But magic has rules. Guilds hoard power. Monsters roam unseen. And orphan boys from Manhattan aren't supposed to change the world. Armed with curiosity, stubborn optimism, and an ever-growing collection of bizarre crafting skills, Oliver begins clawing his way upward one invention at a time — cooking magical meals, building impossible items, uncovering ancient systems hidden beneath Earth itself, and gathering allies ranging from eccentric craftsmen to dangerous outcasts marked by society.

No one has ever connected with the artifact before. Talent like hers can't be allowed to go to waste. Now Lina has to survive snide teachers, entitled students, and a necromancy curriculum she is months behind on. The problem is that the deathless thing she woke up isn't done with her either. And it has been waiting a very long time.
