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.

Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, summoned into the world of Nekrom without explanation — and immediately killed. But Death is not the end for her. The mysterious God of Chaos granted her a unique Divine ability: [Death and Resurrection], capable of bending the fabric of space and time to bring her back to life. Now every death, every inch of pain, every scrap of information carries forward into the next loop. A never-ending spiral of fear, violence, and divine power. A path Tristessa must traverse to uncover the dark truths behind her lost memories and the tragedies bringing Nekrom to the brink of collapse — under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen.

Mysteries of Sacra

Robert Wolf

F10/100
One moment, Kai was an ordinary teenager on Earth. The next, he is torn into Sacra — a savage realm ruled by spirit beasts, ancient mana, and fallen gods. 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.

Ethria

Aaron Holloway

F10/100
Given a choice between a risky route home and a safer path through a world called Ethria, Daniel "Rayid" Tear enters Ethria.

Taking the long road home, Rayid chooses to help a persecuted people whose story mirrors his pioneer ancestors. But gods are changing, nations are shifting, and an ancient evil stirs at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. What can one under-leveled foreign wizard do?

Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Ezy - Dreams Abyss

F10/100
An unfortunate man finds himself stranded in a hostile forest with a system that has turned his gender upside down. Transformed into a beast, he must scavenge and survive while navigating a Cultivation Society that either kills monsters like him or seeks to collar them as contracted pets. As his system pushes him toward evolving into a divine beast — or possibly back into a human — he must find his place in a world that sees him as property. A slow-paced xianxia cultivation story with gender-bending and yuri romance elements, focused on a non-human protagonist carving out a life in an unfamiliar world.

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.

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 Broken Arcanist

Aleth08

F9/100
The guild ruled Thorin ineligible. The crystal confirmed it. With no path through the official system, his only option is an illegal branding — and affinities so weak that brute force is never on the table. Every fight is a calculation. Every mistake costs time he doesn't have. With his cousins Clay and Quin at his back, Thorin learns to weaponise broken power through planning, restraint, and hard decisions. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants control — and to reclaim what his name once stood for, whatever it takes. A cultivation-LitRPG blend inspired by Warlock of the Magus World and Reverend Insanity.

That Time I Was Reincarnated into Another World as a Genius Supreme Archmage

Noelle Falkenhorst

F8/100
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.

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.

The Brutal Healer

Fishkid

F7/100
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.

Skyward Ascension

Sourkrauts

F7/100
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.

I Awakened A System That Gives Me A New Skill Everyday

imissmysun

F6/100
Born into one of the Evernight Empire's grand noble families, Alex Drakethorne showed extraordinary promise at birth — and then nothing.

At fourteen, desperate for power, he throws himself into a newly opened gate. The shock forces his long-dormant system awake to save him — a system unlike any other, one that grants him a brand new skill every single day. From a laughingstock to a force the world will have to reckon with, Alex's slow-burn journey from the bottom begins.

Fate of Mirithia

Ajnabi

F6/100
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.

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.

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

NekoSama#9999

F5/100
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.

And buried beneath it all are secrets that have lain hidden far too long.
