Climbing the Ranks

Tao Wong

F10/100
When the Towers arrived without warning, chaos ensued. Decades later, the enchantments and mana cores harvested from within them power the most advanced technologies in the world. For Arthur Chua, climbing Malaysia's Beginner Tower is the only escape available to someone without money or connections—he's not looking to be a hero, just a survivor. Fate has other plans. The reason for the Towers' arrival will finally be revealed, and humanity will face another seismic shift—if Arthur can live long enough to see it.

The Reluctant Healer

TheChainBoy

F10/100
Earth's system integration sent humanity to distant planets for a tutorial — all except Matt. Left behind on a transformed Earth where mana has mutated beasts into monsters, he must survive alone in a harsh Egyptian desert with the one class everyone considers useless: Healer. A mysterious interim leader, a dungeon placed in the middle of nowhere, and a class ridiculed by the entire system stand between Matt and reuniting with his friends. A slow-burn LitRPG about a healer determined to prove himself against a system — and people — who have written him off.

Wastrel Heir of Velmoria: A Regressor Magic School Adventure

Daoist Enigma

F9/100
The kingdom's last defender had one chance to send his memories back in time. He chose wrong. The Sword Warden of Cravess watched his knights burn alive as Black Mana consumed his lands. With his dying breath, he passed his memories sixteen years into the past — not to himself, but to his best friend Lucan Velmoria, a genius who'd accomplished legendary feats before dying to save the Warden's life. Except that genius never existed. The real Lucan is an outcast drowning in wine, heir to a dukedom he never wanted, with a Shadow Mana affinity no one has ever advanced past Second-Circle. Now, with his half-sister marked for assassination, his mother trapped in endless sleep, and memories of techniques he has no idea how his future self mastered, he must figure out the impossible — and rewrite the ending.

Synonymoose

F9/100
Rowan goes to sleep in his apartment and wakes in a redwood forest wearing frog pyjamas, holding a sphere packed with the power of reality. He has no idea how he got there. Finding his way to civilisation, he discovers this is not his planet — a world with giant ants, a city tearing itself apart, and a feathered family he didn't ask for. His background as an architect proves only marginally useful when the power he carries can bend reality itself. With the world intent on destroying itself, Rowan must learn to use his strange new abilities before it's too late.

Eat Them All

Of Rantings and Ramblings

F9/100
Reggie was not an important person — quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to stay fed and alive while making sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it.

The Brutal Healer

Fishkid

F9/100
Hector chose the Healer class to stay alive. The system had other ideas. Dropped into a lethal tutorial with only a Field Medic designation and a system that observes more than it explains, Hector quickly learns that healing is not gentle — it is force. Applied incorrectly, it breaks bodies as easily as it saves them. As overhealing becomes a weapon and deviation warnings stack up, survival stops being about following the rules and starts being about understanding them.

World Apocalypse Dungeon Calamity

Andrew O'Kelley

F8/100
The end of humanity was marked by the appearance of the World Dungeon and the System of power it provided. No one gained more power than the tyrant known as the Black Seraph, the Angel of Genocide — who survived at the expense of the rest of humanity and completed the dungeon upon reaching the Altar of the End. A hollow victory. Cursed by the spirit of the dungeon for his ruthlessness, Seraph's power was sealed away and he was cast into the past, reincarnated into the body of his child-like self. Now forbidden from hoarding power and charged with ensuring humanity's survival, he must find a new path — and learn there's more to power than being a tyrant.

Blood Mage Assassin

E.M. Dash

F7/100
Jack once believed the quill was mightier than the sword. He was wrong. After twenty years of failure and obsession, the crippled Apprentice Scribe confronted the noble who murdered his family — only for his revenge to end with a poisoned dagger in his gut and the mocking smile of the man he hated. When death came, it didn't take him to the Underworld. It sent him back — sixteen again, reborn in the body he lost to fire and regret, given a second chance by the Gods he believed had forsaken him. Now he wants to protect his family and live a good life, but the Gods have other plans. Armed with forbidden magic, a scribe's precision, and knowledge of the future, Jack will carve a new path through history — written in ink, blood, and vengeance. A deliberately slow-paced, slice-of-life, weak-to-strong story building toward an overpowered MC across multiple time loops.

F7/100
Lilieth Lasvenn, the twelfth member of the hero's party, was betrayed and murdered by the heroes themselves. Young, timid, and meek, she was an apprentice priestess who filled the ranks with little distinction — her only notable trait a perfect memory. When that very same party betrays and kills her, an inexplicable revival gives Lilieth something she didn't have before: an undying body and the ability to absorb the memories of others and copy their spells. She swears revenge, but to kill a hero is no simple task. As Lilieth learns to fight with her newfound abilities and grows stronger, she begins to realize the world is hiding secrets — buried memories that should never have been unearthed.

Noelle Falkenhorst

F7/100
Kazuma Takahashi, a 32-year-old corporate slave, dies after a gaming marathon and wakes up as a newborn in a fantasy world where magic determines social status. Reborn with all his memories intact, he quickly realizes his adult mind gives him an edge — except he is born with an embarrassingly tiny mana pool, making him worthless by this world's standards. Rather than despair, Kazuma (now named Cid Arnett) uses knowledge, shamelessness, and a complete lack of moral scruples to game the system and claw toward power. His journey from magically impotent baby to legendary mage is paved with schemes and hilarious misunderstandings.

Extra's Mantle: Wait, What Do You Mean I Shouldn't Exist?!

NekoSama#9999

F6/100
In the beloved novel "Mantle of Gods," four chosen heroes are destined to save the world — and fail spectacularly, leaving reality to burn in eternal darkness. As a reader of that story, transmigrating into it as Jin Winters, a nameless extra not even mentioned in the text, was already bad enough. Landing in Vienna — one of four cities slated for annihilation in the opening act — made it worse. Armed with meta-knowledge and a cancer survivor's stubborn refusal to die quietly, Jin awakens the mysterious "Mantle of Harvest," a power system the protagonists never fully understood. But knowledge only matters if you live long enough to use it. Ninety-one days until the veil falls. Ninety-one days to grow strong enough to change a fate written in blood.

Skyward Ascension

Sourkrauts

F6/100
Caleb loved climbing because the rules were simple: don't fall, go up. Until the System arrived — and the mountain broke. When a fissure opens beneath him mid-climb, Caleb plummets into a newly formed dungeon on the back of a falling boulder. He should have died on impact. Instead, his fall is broken by the face of one of the dungeon's bosses, and the resulting surge of aether thrusts him into a brutal new reality. Armed with nothing but his body and a unique class built around his greatest strength — his hands — Caleb gains the ability to manifest spectral arms made of spiritual energy. To survive the hell he fell into and climb his way back to civilization, he'll have to master every inch of his power. In a world where strength decides everything, the only way forward is up.

Kingdom Lost

DeepBlue

F5/100
Riley wakes up in a world that already expects something from her. She has nothing — no gear, no knowledge, no protection. Just a hostile forest, something hunting in the dark, and a system that has already marked her as a novice and expects progress. It doesn't explain the rules. It doesn't offer help. It only measures what she builds and what she survives. Every resource must be scavenged, every improvement must be earned, every mistake leaves consequences that don't go away. And whatever stalks the woods at night knows she's here. There are no chosen ones, no free power, no second chances — only progress, starting from zero.

Fate of Mirithia

Ajnabi

F5/100
She crossed worlds to bring him home. Now she might be the one who never returns. When Meera's younger brother vanished without a trace, her search led her to an ancient mirror and a world not her own. Thrust into a realm of monsters, magic, and a rising apocalypse, she uncovers a harrowing truth: her brother is the Champion of a great prophecy, destined to either save or destroy Mirithia in a final clash against an apocalyptic dragon. In a world where strength is defined by earned skills, Meera had none — only the ability to steal the power of others. She cuts a bloody path through prophecies and tyrants alike, growing stronger with each stolen skill, drawing closer to her brother with every step. As the end draws near and the lines between heroes and villains blur, she must decide how far she is willing to go — and whether saving him means damning herself.

The Rise of Ashborn

Forst-Icicle

F4/100
Civil engineer Arthur Vance was two days from his wedding when a truck ended his future. Instead of death, he awakens in the body of Oliver Ashborn — a frail thirteen-year-old noble who has just survived an assassination attempt. The once-powerful Ashborn family is collapsing: mines exhausted, roads ruined, territory drowning in debt, and powerful enemies already circling. But Arthur is not a noble. He is an engineer. Armed with knowledge of physics, chemistry, and structural engineering, he sets out to analyze and systematize magic itself. If mana follows rules, it can be understood. If it can be understood, it can be engineered — and in a world where magic decides power, one mistake could destroy everything.
