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.

The Iconless: Glitch in the System

Robert Wolf

F13/100
In a world ruled by Icons, Corvin Valtieri was born without one — a living disgrace to a legendary Paladin House. In a desperate bid to fix his broken son, Corvin's father injected him with forbidden angel's blood. It didn't grant divinity; it awakened a slumbering darkness that defied everything a Paladin should be. Hunted by his kin and cast into slavery as dungeon bait, Corvin's life became a countdown to a bloody end. But when he finally falls in the depths of a forbidden tomb, the System doesn't find just another host — it finds a glitch in creation itself. Corvin is no longer the boy who was promised nothing. He is the anomaly in the world's design, and he's coming back to take everything they said he couldn't have.

TyZombo

As Gilgamesh overcomes its challenges and gains the magic he sought, his ambition grows beyond the destiny his name holds. He is among the weakest Heroes of the Ninth Epoch, his rivals blessed with incredible power and glorious destinies. Fate has rejected him — so he will defy it.

Ascendancy

Kessedi

F12/100
In a world where every action is watched, every thought is recorded, and every step is calculated, survival is earned. Merit is power. Merit is life. Merit is the only path to ascend. Kael Arden was born in a remote frontier village and expected nothing more than an ordinary life. Through a series of choices he gains merit and is thrust into a world far larger and more dangerous than he ever imagined — one of evolving monsters, hidden civilizations, imperial academies, and wars fought for power beyond human understanding. With no special bloodline or legendary inheritance, Kael climbs the ranks through ingenuity, perseverance, and the refusal to abandon those around him. As kingdoms prepare for war and ancient forces stir, he discovers that ascension is his greatest chance to matter.

Between Two Heavens

mdbob

F12/100
Shen Wei is a twenty-two-year-old orphan working as a Junior Furnace Monitor at Clearsky Pharmaceuticals in Yongcheng — a megacity in Tianji, a modern cultivation world where spiritual energy has been industrialized and nearly depleted. With Grade C spiritual roots and a cultivation stuck at Qi Condensation Stage 3 for over two years, he has no realistic path to advancement. His only distinction is an unusually deep knowledge of cultivation theory, studied obsessively despite having no means to apply it. During a routine late-shift inventory, Shen Wei discovers a jade pendant classified as an inert artifact. It is warm to his touch and reacts faintly when he channels Qi into it. He pockets it. That single action will change the course of his life.

Earthlings cannot awaken. Humans cannot evolve. Mortals cannot slay gods. Such truths shatter when Ori Suba escapes an infernal prison hidden halfway across Fate. To return home, Ori must battle monsters, master the arcane, and form dangerous alliances with supernatural beings. Through harrowing trials, his unique Affinity awakens — one potent enough to disrupt Fate's delicate balance and usher in a new age. As an Irregular walking the Path, and an Entity of Power capable of granting patronage to warlocks, Ori must weigh his desires against the needs of his bonds and the man he must become. This is the origin story of an Entity of Power: a lover, a fighter, a crafter, and an Archmage with a complicated relationship with Antimatter.

When the System rewrites reality, humanity is bound to elemental Essences tied to their very souls. Most awaken one. Leo awakens six. Given the freedom to choose his path, Leo embraces a class built around close-range combat — a style that demands commitment, control, and a bit of stupid courage. Dropped into a vast tutorial city with no safety nets, monsters stalk the streets, danger hides behind friendly faces, and every decision carries weight. Leo isn't driven by dominance. When violence breaks out, he's the one who steps in. Surviving the tutorial is only the first step.

Garek was a magical artificer. Now he's a conscript. The Empyrean Army doesn't train soldiers — it forges them in the Hall of Trials, a sentient, ever-shifting pocket dungeon. Survival isn't even Garek's primary goal; progression is. The Military Service Act only applies to those over twelve, which means Garek has less than two years to reach the fifth grade — Sapphire — to claim his son as an attendant and save him from certain death. No one has ever progressed that fast. But Garek has no Mana Core, only a unique Soul Core to power his spells and skills, and he treats every combat encounter as a puzzle to solve with strategy and intelligence. He has no other choice.

Alone, untrained, and relentlessly hunted, his only goal is survival. When he saves a dying beast and kills a deadly predator, everything changes. He discovers a terrifying power: the ability to absorb the souls of his enemies and claim their skills as his own. Each soul strengthens him, but also warps him, as their memories claw at his mind and threaten to consume what is left of the boy he once was. With companions Umbra and Scry as his anchors, Kai must decide who he wants to be — and what he is willing to sacrifice — to escape Sacra and return home.

The darkness is coming, and the world will tremble in its wake.
