C.J. Thompson

Time Cursed Knight

GCLopes

F18/100
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.

This Necromancer Raised Civilization Instead Of The Dead

Bimbanana

F18/100
In a world of magic and dragons, humanity's greatest hope is the Summoned Heroes. The Church of the Goddess, the only institution capable of performing the summoning ritual, made a catalogue — different tiers, different classes, different budgets. Because even the poor deserve their own personal hero. Unfortunately, one budget-conscious kingdom got Theo: a professional séance scammer and a necromancer who couldn't control the dead. So they threw him away. What no one knows is that Theo can summon the dead — but his System only lets him call souls from Earth. From Archimedes to Nikola Tesla, Julius Caesar to George Patton, Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. Men who shaped civilizations, now answering to a scammer. A kingdom forged from Earth's greatest minds to devour other kingdoms — and perhaps even the Goddess herself. There is just one problem: right next door lies the Demon Kingdom, and it has been waiting.

In this realm, Gabe inhabits the body of Loon: a monstrous, massively jacked orc warrior. Unfortunately, he's still got the brains of a teenage loser. Now Loon must fight his way through Regaia's endless threats while slowly figuring out that brute strength alone won't save him — or his fellow classmates who made the same terrifying journey.

The Sixth Campaign

K.J. Licht

F17/100
Grant Leeman is an eighteen-year-old inn worker who never expected much from life — certainly not to be selected for the Sixth Campaign, an intergalactic war that wasn't due for another thirty-five years. Now he must learn to adapt fast. There's a Store he can use to buy godlike powers, but everything costs Points, and commoners like Grant rarely get many. Survival may depend on a lucky roll of the dice — or on being very good at hiding. A weak-to-strong progression story with a focus on characters, worldbuilding, and prose, building slowly toward large-scale conflict.

ReignyDaze

Modivar, the last light of salvation, had done it. He reached max level and saved the world. All it cost him was everything he had ever known and loved. Now he is cursed — he broke his oath, and that oath is killing him. So instead of living out his days as a hero, he chose to go as far away as possible and spend whatever time he has left as nothing more than a simple potion seller. He found a village with no name, no buildings that weren't run down. At his wit's end, at the end of his life, he didn't expect to find Belladonna. He didn't expect to find love. He didn't expect to find a reason to live on beyond death. What started as a prank gone horribly wrong turned into a love story that would last an unlifetime.

Jay's fighting just to live another week.

Basic Thaumaturgy for the Emotionally Incompetent

D.N. Newyn

F16/100
Fabrisse Kestovar can't conjure grief, can barely levitate a pebble, and once submitted a stanza instead of a spell schematic. He may be the least emotionally competent student in the Order's seven-hundred-year history. Which makes it all the more confusing when an ancient magical relic wakes after forty-seven years of silence, launches itself across a holy sanctum, and crashes into his face. Now bonded to the PRAXIS NODE — a long-dormant, possibly AI-driven interface that delivers cryptic quests, sarcastic prompts, and calibration objectives measured in light-years — Fabrisse gains access to a system only he can see. He has a Legacy Token, no combat thresholds, and a growing collection of rocks the system insists are historically significant.
