Schooled in Magic

Christopher G. Nuttall

A83/100
Emily is a teenage girl pulled from our world into a world of magic and mystery by a necromancer who intends to sacrifice her to the dark gods. Rescued by an enigmatic sorcerer, she discovers she possesses magical powers and must attend Whitehall School to master them. There, the locals believe she is a "Child of Destiny" — someone whose choices might save or damn their world. A title that earns her both friends and enemies. The necromancer is still hunting her, and if Emily can't stop him, he might bring about the end of days.

The Power of Ten, Book Five: Versatile Wizardry

RE Druin

A83/100
The last soul-shard of Aelryinth is cut free and drawn through astral space to a new realm — one with no exposure to the gods, powers, or system of the Power of Ten. It is a world of Magery, where Elements of Magic is the science, power resides in people, and humanity dwells alongside countless magical creatures that actively contest the world with them. Shard Zeben must hit the ground running and make major adjustments to a gamer's outlook as she introduces this world's mages to what it means to be a truly versatile wizard — and brings the Light of Heaven to a world that has never known it.

Eight

Samer Rabadi (aka 3seed)

A83/100
His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

Rise of the Cheat Potion Maker

Alvin Atwater

A82/100
Summoned to another world and asked to be a great hero, the protagonist wants none of it — the world already has a hero. Instead, he chooses the simplest class available: Potion Maker. He has no interest in defying the heavens or cultivating mana. But the nearby town is suffering from crippling inflation and losing businesses fast. Someone has to do something about it. An unlikely potion shopkeeper and his apprentices begin building what they hope will become an S-ranked potion shop — though that turns out to be far easier said than done.

The Gilded Hero

wercwercwerc

A82/100

The chance to master the sword, grow more powerful than anyone on Earth could dream, and fulfill your destiny. Or not. It turns out that people summoned from another world are easily charmed by the title of "Hero." And they really should not be.

Penitent

Seersucker

A82/100
Michael didn't want to die. After a lost battle with cancer, he'd lived what many would call a full life — but it wasn't enough. He wanted more time with his wife, his kids, his grandkids. When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it. Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted. Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to become a Penitent — a soldier in the country he was reborn into — in order to pay a debt to society for taking the life of the child whose body he now inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

Nightmare Realm Summoner

Actus

A82/100
When the system warned the world it was coming a week in advance, Alex couldn't have been more excited. In college for a degree he didn't care about to get a job he didn't want, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the potential cost of death — was the best news he could have imagined. He wasn't ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where even the bugs are stronger than he is. Even with a summoner class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo. Where others saw certain death, he found opportunity.

Past Life Hero

BlaiseCorvin

A82/100
Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword-and-sorcery world where he was hailed as the Hero of the World after crawling up from poverty to fame and luxury. On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Cinnamon Bun

RavensDagger

A82/100
The world called out for a hero to purge it of great evil. It received Broccoli Bunch — explorer, expert cleaner, occasional ghost-buster, and full-time Cinnamon Bun. Broccoli's approach to adventure is unconventional: talk enemies into becoming friends, hug menu boxes, and wield overpowered skills like Cleaning and Gardening. Her personal quest is simple — make all the friends. All of them.

But when her companion's life is threatened by a mysterious Demon King, she'll have to separate from him and be tossed into an unfamiliar world of humans and monsters — where she is scorned for being born a Demon.

Vigil Bound

James A. Hunter

A82/100
Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for elite Force Recon. He'd found a tribe and a family — so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. Instead of winding up dead, he wakes up in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He's been chosen by Raguel, the Five-Faced God of Justice, and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger, and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock spells, and harness the abilities of the monsters he's dispatched to hunt.

Chronicles of an Isekai'd Legion: For the Glory of Rome

Zaifyr

A82/100
A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn't know how right he was. Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight — much to the chagrin of Marcus, the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them. Taking over the world is not so easy. The Legion must learn to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.

Delve

SenescentSoul

A81/100
An average guy wakes up in a forest with no idea how he got there. He wasn't summoned to defeat a demon lord or save the world — as far as he can tell. He can't speak the local language, and not everybody immediately trusts a pajama-wearing stranger they found in the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It's about avoiding death, figuring out what's going on, and making friends along the way. The main character takes an unconventional path as a support mage focused entirely on mana regeneration — a build most adventurers consider foolish. The numbers in this story actually mean something, and progression is measured not just in personal power but in allies, connections, and hard-won knowledge.

Biracial Edgelord Can't Make Immortal: Power of Ten, Book Seven

RE Druin

A81/100
Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.
