Guild Core

TJ Reynolds

Rhona is a battle-scarred soldier seeking atonement for a bloody past. And Bancroft is an Earth Core who has just awakened, eager to rebuild his dungeon. Together, the three form the Guild Core — a small band of friends determined to restore the world to an age of dragons, heroes, and honor.

Alexey Kovtunov

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.

Hippo_

When Alexandra arrives in a world of real magic, her former guildmates are already there — and have been for a century. They have empires and a hundred-year head start. Her old friends don't want another player in their game. One day. One quest. One reward. Alexandra has her streak, and she will burn the world before she misses a daily.

Village Manager

Andrew Karevik

D27/100
One fatal collision while rushing for the bus and the protagonist is standing before a goddess, his short life of gaming and sleeping deemed not worth much. In lieu of moving on to the afterlife, a wager is struck: prove that all those hours spent in simulation and management games were worthwhile by taking charge of a desolate, Level 1 village and making it thrive. Fail or die, and it's back to the grocery store. But that's not going to happen. There's just the small matter of figuring out where to start — and why the mayor won't wake up.

Time Cursed Knight

GCLopes

D27/100
In 2097, humanity discovered Mana. Arcane academies, spelltech cities, enchanted weaponry — magic became ordinary. But that blessing tore open portals across the globe, and the beings who stepped through were not refugees. They were invaders. They took everything. Now all that remains of humanity is a sliver of land clinging to the edge of a shattered continent. Every death drags the protagonist back to the beginning of the day. Every loop forces him to train harder, learn faster, and outthink a world designed to erase him. Some call this power a gift. To him, it's a curse — but curses can be shaped into weapons.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D27/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.
