Ghost in the System

Alexey Kovtunov

D31/100
When a System apocalypse turns most of humanity into zombies, an introverted loner finds himself among the first to choose a character class. His picks — Master of Shadows, Master of Darkness — are already taken, so he settles for the Gold-tier Ghost class, with bonuses that are a little questionable. Kasp never wanted to be a leader, a hero, or anyone's savior. He just wants to disappear. Unfortunately, the System has other plans — including handing him a settlement to run and a zombie head that never stops talking.

Arcanist in Another World

Bleeding Tears

D31/100
Valens is the youngest Life Archmagus the Empire has ever seen. His mastery over Resonance lets him hear the frequencies of the world and heal even the deepest wounds — yet he could do so much more, if only it weren't forbidden. When an ancient ritual promises to reveal the truth, he leaps at the chance — and lands alone in an unfamiliar world, deep in a dungeon crawling with monsters and a System that grants him the secrets of Warmagic as easily as breathing. Valens no longer needs to hold back.

Deadly Persuasion

FreeID

Isekai'd into a mysterious Victorian town, Levi finds himself in a weak child's body amid deep darkness, ravenous monsters, and a murderous cult of devil worshippers seeking to summon mythical beasts from the Graveyard of the Gods. Fortunately, he possesses the rare talent of an Arch-Magus. Armed with deadly magical words and traps, he is ready to incite riots, gain classes, and level up to survive everything that threatens his precious new life. In this world, power comes from absorbing Ingredients — each holding its own paths and classes — and every week the Krag opens, offering an entrance to the Graveyard of the Gods where relics, power, and Ingredients wait to be plundered, protected by terrifying monsters.

Edge Cases

Silver Linings

D30/100
In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything — dictating strength, skills, and power, and spawning dungeons filled with monsters. But every system has its limits, and it is about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs. There is Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in an existential crisis; Misa, a tanklike half-orc who loves exploiting the system but misses her family; Vex, an anxious lizardkin wizard who has run away from his; and Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. When a simple quest goes off the rails and a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them appears, they discover that something is deeply wrong with the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning. The world itself is falling apart. Their only hope is trust, shared secrets, and perhaps a bit of healthy communication.

Wasteland Warlords

eden Hudson, James Hunter

D30/100
Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast. Dungeons popped up in shopping malls and airports. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new kind of gold rush. Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his chainsaw-toting brother Joe are going west to try their hand at monster killing. The loot from low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn't the real reason they risked the Infested Zone — they need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in ten thousand hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland.

As an Atoning, he must serve on the front lines to pay off the "theft" of the soul he now inhabits. Survival is a luxury for Dupes. He is up against orcs, mutated monsters, and battalion members who want to put a knife in his back. But there is a slim chance to become more than just cannon fodder — to build something from the rot, and turn his name into a legend through skill-merging and earned progression.

System Cultivator: Righteous Young Master in an Unworthy World

RAIDBOSS

D30/100
He was born to rule the world — a prince, a prodigy, a once-in-centuries talent destined to usher in a new era of prosperity. Instead, at a young age, his foundation was shattered, his cultivation destroyed, and his path to immortality severed. Exiled to a barren backwater without qi, he learned to live as mortals do — for today, not for a future that might never be. Brick by brick, with the help of his countrymen, he built a new and better world. Then, buried beneath an ancient desert, he discovered a legacy capable of granting him god-like power — hidden precisely where no cultivator would think to look. Now he must decide: retake his throne and fix his father's broken empire from within, or destroy it.

Private Investigator Scarlet Bourne isn't particularly bothered by the end of the world. When strange windows start appearing in people's vision, counting down three days to "Full Initialization," she does what she always does: she prepares. When the countdown ends, extinction never comes. Instead, the world gets monsters, mana, and the System. Most people panic. Scarlet sees a gap in the market — one an information broker is uniquely qualified to fill. The rules have changed and nobody knows what they are. She intends to be the first to find out, controlling the battlefield from the shadows rather than fighting her way to the top.

Thrown into a lethal Tutorial designed for Core-bearers, Cade must survive the brutal grind of becoming eligible to forge a Core of his own while others level, cast spells, and surge ahead. Monsters evolve. Humans turn on each other. And buried somewhere in the chaos of the Tutorial is an ancient path to power — one even the System cannot control.
