Beast Realms

R.P. Jones

F16/100
Art chooses a lizard man as his avatar — regenerative abilities, a badass tail, and the potential to evolve. It goes well until he accidentally teams up with an acid-spitting shadow-bound grub, turning his light-bound guild against him and earning him a deadly fire mage as an enemy. Venturing through enchanted forests, icy mountain mage enclaves, thief-ridden sewers, and ancient temples, Art must defeat the Legendary Beasts and claim their gems of power. With the odds stacked against him, it's time for him to evolve.

The Gathering of Organic Deities (GOD) has decreed the implementation of a System designed to end humanity's overwhelming dominance over life on Earth.

Luckborn

Remnar the Magnificent

F15/100
In a world where a person's Class dictates their future, Dwayne "Otter" Bennett is an anomaly. Born with painfully average stats except a staggering Luck of 18, he was never offered a Class — until an unexpected opportunity lands him a spot at the prestigious Adventurers' Academy. The Academy is ruthless: skilled rivals, dangerous secrets, and a System designed to leave people like him behind. But Otter's Luck keeps manifesting in strange ways, pointing him toward rumors of hidden Classes and a relic that responds to his presence. When a real Kaosborn manifests during a simulation test in the ruins beneath the Academy, a controlled exam turns into a deadly fight for survival — and Otter learns that he, and his extraordinary Luck, may be the key to restructuring the System itself.

Monster Slayer Online

R.R. Virdi

F15/100
When Devrim Bains reaches his twenty-first birthday, he's punished for a crime that was never his fault — being born in a world of strict population control. His life has been decided for him, and it's about to end. But a stroke of luck gives him the chance to have his consciousness uploaded into the simulated-reality game world of Lorian, with the promise of freedom. Except freedom comes with a cost. Monsters of legend come to life in Lorian, and the Goblin King has raised an army hellbent on conquest. Devrim's only chance is to quickly learn what it means to be a slayer: hunt or be hunted.

Overtaken Online

Ben Ormstad

F15/100
The world's first FPS VR-MMORPG with 100% immersion, Overtaken Online blends the frantic energy of classic shooters like Doom and Dead Space with RPG leveling and skill progression. Dex Walsh, a 33-year-old game designer still reeling from the death of his wife, sells everything and logs in. Instead of the welcoming tutorial zone he expected, he wakes up naked in a gas-filled prison cell with no gear and no idea how to escape — and no one around who wants him alive. Under-leveled and hunted from the start, Dex must blast through waves of demonic aliens, rescue prisoners, and claw his way toward something worth living for.

Reborn among the people of the Northern Water Tribe, he carries faint memories of the world's future, though the details are hazy after so many years. He remembers enough to know one thing: the Fire Nation's shadow is coming. Rather than sit back and watch history unfold, Oliver decides to act. Through waterbending, knowledge from another world, and sheer determination, he will carve out his own place in this era — and protect the Northern Water Tribe from what is coming.

The Protectorate

SKBwrites

F15/100
When the Systems hit Earth, Ben was alone in the mountains. After becoming the first human to clear a dungeon, he faced a choice: seize power for himself alone, or build a future for his family, friends, and community. He chose the latter. Now a former lumberjack still recovering from a life-changing accident, Ben must transform a remote logging camp into a thriving city powered by dungeons and home to millions. He must lead, fight, and become one of the strongest on Earth — not for glory, but to protect everyone who depends on him.

Level: Unknown

David Dalglish

F15/100
An ancient alien artifact chooses research cadet Nick to explore Yensere — a world of forgotten empires, strange powers, and monstrous creatures stored within it. The catch: he can only get there when he sleeps, and the diseased inhabitants of Yensere see him as a demonic threat and kill him on sight. Each death sends him back to the research station. Each sleep pulls him back to Yensere. Nick can only sustain this cycle for so long — but Yensere may hold the key to saving humanity from a terrible fate, so he ventures deeper, growing stronger with every enemy defeated.

Cantrip Mage

Aest Belequa

F15/100
Magic has rules. Eola must break them. Eola loves magic, but her unusual attunement fills her soul with unattuned Mana — useful only for the basic runes children learn. Cantrips won't help her pass her first year of school or save her parents, but Eola refuses to believe she's stuck forever. She just needs a less conventional education. The academy's library holds tomes no living mage has read, with monsters stalking its aisles and forgotten knowledge haunting its shelves. If a solution exists, it will be archived there — and to master magic, Eola must first learn, then break, its accepted rules.

Using knowledge from Earth, he begins writing his own grimoires and finds a way to gain power and rise in this new world. To return home, Stefan must master Liberomancy and uncover the dark secrets hidden beneath this world's surface — secrets that may determine the fate of both worlds.

Reader Mage

A Random Turtle

F14/100
He read the novel no one else would — and now had a System to show for it. Merlin Tyrrell's favorite web novel came to an end, and with it his dream of entering one of the most prestigious Mage Academies on Earth. Evaluated as Deficient — a Mage who could cast no spells — he could only watch as his wish to protect those he loved from Dungeons and Towers slipped away. That was, until the author sent him a gift for being his sole reader until the end: the System of the novel's protagonist, and his greatest Skill — Reader Mage. Now possessing the ability to analyze and deconstruct spells on the fly, Merlin sets out to become the greatest Mage to ever exist.

Blood Curse Academia

Spencer Walther

F14/100
Kidnapped and presumed dead, Kizu returns ten years later — just in time to enroll at an elite magical academy. His education under the witch who raised him was unorthodox, leaving him three years behind every other student and ranked as the overall worst at Shinzou Academy. Kizu is determined to change that quickly — not just to master long-denied schools of magic, but to investigate his older sister's disappearance. She was the only one who never stopped looking for him. Now it's his turn to repay the favor, if he can survive an academy where the other students are just as dangerous as the monsters.

I Eat Cultivators

rachasudd

F14/100
A nameless test subject, abandoned by the demonic cultivators who created him, awakens in a facility with three past lives, no identity, and the ability to talk to the leaking tap in his cell. After escaping through absurd regeneration and slapstick body horror, he enters a xianxia world of sects, spirit beasts, and convoluted cultivation conspiracies. Mentored by a perverted talking cabbage and joined by a growing cast of equally confused travelling companions, he drifts between side quests — slowly growing stronger while trying to figure out who he is, where he came from, and what he actually wants. This is a slow-burn, slice-of-life cultivation adventure built on comedy and character. Demonic revelations, unsettling abilities, and genuine horror creep in as the story unfolds.

Reborn Online

Aurora Weiss

F13/100
After a car crash, the narrator wakes up dead—and discovers the afterlife runs like a video game. The catch: instead of starting in a beginner zone like everyone else, they've landed in one of the most brutal endgame dungeon worlds, meant only for ancient souls who have been dead far longer. With no proper gear, no crafting skills, and the knowledge that dying here is just as miserable as dying on Earth, survival demands finding a power leveler fast.

Rise of the Spellbreaker

Boots

F13/100
Rika Blackstone has the potential to surpass everyone — if she can survive long enough. An illegitimate child cast out from her home, Rika is determined to rise above her birth. With a rare and powerful starting class and unheard-of stat growth, she has every advantage except a starting point worth mentioning. Her stats begin almost at rock bottom. 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.
