Blood Mage Assassin

E.M. Dash

F5/100
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.

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.

Mimicmage

Lemur_Leylamin

F4/100
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.

Cultivating Redemption

DC Zhen

F4/100
He was a demigod chasing immortality until a curse shattered everything. Yu Di was born to ascend — cultivation was his life. Now, every time he uses Qi, he loses levels. Permanently. Broken and powerless, Yu Di retreats from the world until his ex-lover drops off a surprise: their three-year-old daughter. With no power left to chase, Yu Di devotes himself to raising Yu Lin — teaching her, protecting her, finding peace in fatherhood. Until the local Immortal sect threatens to take her. They want him to join, or they'll burn the village to the ground. Yu Di agrees. For her. Then a voice echoes in his mind: Curse Unlocked: 0.3% Lifted.

Path Of The Unbound Flame

P_Magno

F4/100
A truck. A heroic sacrifice. An isekai adventure — with one tiny, flickering problem. Jessica has been reborn in a new world, but she's trapped in a form without limbs, voice, or a way to move — a single, dying flame. When a system message offers a terrifying and bizarre chance at survival, she must possess, adapt, and burn her way through a dark and unknown world to find a place where she can finally shine.

Salvage System

Nicholas Sansbury Smith

F2/100
When an otherworldly portal transforms Manhattan into a deadly fantasy realm, construction worker Chris Mason is chosen as a "salvager" by a mysterious System that has haunted humanity throughout history. Armed with only his sledgehammer and guided by a wise-cracking rat named Bunny, Chris must scavenge the ruins of New York to craft weapons, armor, and shelter as the city continues to transform around him. To survive, Chris must level up his salvaging skills and build a community strong enough to reclaim their world—but among the survivors, loyalty is scarce, and some are willing to betray humanity for the promise of power.

Ends of Eternity

C. M. ANTAL

F2/100
No gods. No masters. Only Eternity — said the entity that was both System and God. It didn't quite understand irony. Klaus's life takes a turn for the weird when Eternity saves him from a head-on collision and drops him off on Oresstria #2111. What could a godlike AI need with a burned-out service engineer from Earth? Klaus finds he can't accept the entity's evasive answers — in his experience, "nothing is expected of you" generally means there's a hidden clause that's going to skin him alive. Oresstria seems heavenly at first glance: silver forests, rabbit folk, ancient ruins full of wonder. But lurking in dungeons that don't forgive mistakes are brain-slurping horrors and carnivorous wildlife. Sometimes the path to healing from the past takes you through several dungeons and a whole lot of monsters.

Venturing from world to world, Adam must rely on knowledge, luck, and the unpredictable nature of the people around him. Points buy equipment and skills, but surviving means learning that life is not just books and theory.

Mud Wizard Bob

GeorgeDBeard

F1/100
All Bob Brown wanted was to get home, get in the bath, and binge his favourite show. What he got was teleported mid-soak into a messed-up System initiation right in front of his golden retriever. Now Bob must bluff, battle, and bullshit his way through four dastardly challenges just to make it back to his dog — only to discover the world has gone completely bonkers. Planetary death-bounties. Exploding pus-grenades. Drunken magical thugs. Lucky then that Bob has scored himself the ultimate cosmic power: the ability to control mud.

Caught in a nuclear blast, soldier Alex Pierce and eleven comrades are dumped into a world of magic where stats rule and the System shows no mercy.

His power build is ruined by an early magical mishap, his fellow soldiers are a disaster, and his closest ally might be an evil talking river pebble.

His interface is shattered, skills refuse to activate, and numbers lie. Pain is real. Death is permanent. The NPCs think for themselves, monsters adapt, and bosses learn. With the Goblin King threatening the kingdom, hostile nobles circling, and an assassin on his trail, William must rebuild his power from scratch — one hard-earned stat at a time — in a world that no longer treats him as a player.

Echoes of the Outcast

kwerte

Ten years ago, the Integration destroyed Earth and an army of cultivators subjugated what remained.

Tired of waiting for circumstances to change, he bets everything on stealing a magic ring from under the cultivators' noses. Inside it lives the soul of an ancient warrior — and a revelation: modern cultivation has become rigid and weak, leaning only on mana and forgetting the other vital energies that once made it legendary. Armed with lost knowledge and everything to prove, Blake sets out to shake the foundations of the universe.
