To save a universe, a reincarnator must die. This keeps happening and has never made any sense. Lamutri is a Chapel assassin of the multiversal House of Fate, dispatched to deal with reincarnators in exchange for the promise of ascent — except his reality-altering Defects keep him strangled at the bottom.
When straightforward missions start going horribly, exponentially wrong, the Chapel holds Lamutri to blame and offers a simple solution: murder the problem. But with the fates of universes in his hands, he realizes someone has been keeping very significant secrets for a very long time.
Strange things are happening in Second World, a massive multinational online RPG. Alliances shatter overnight, former friends draw blades, and a forgotten, worthless mine becomes the site of bitter, all-consuming battles. Every road in the province is controlled; no one enters or leaves a city without being checked.
The weak suffer under the violence of eastern invaders. The strong have one goal: find the culprit — the strangest noob the virtual world has ever seen.
Leaving the safety of her hidden commune, a Ralts narrowly avoids capture on Hoenn Route 102. Finding a discarded pokeball, she ventures into the human world only to discover that her home is in danger from humanity's rapid expansion.
Now she has one recourse: disguise herself as human and become the Pokemon Champion before her village is discovered, and prevent the tragedy that is sure to come. It's too bad she has to deal with subterfuge, eco-terrorism, the end of the world, and awkward inter-species friendships along the way.

My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I eat lunch in the school bathroom. I'm in my senior year at Charter Academy, finished with my SATs, filling out college applications, living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan with my dad. I've been bullied all my life, mostly for not knowing when to shut up.
Oh. It also turns out I'm the last of the Hallow Diabolists and the Shin Shamans. Pacts and bargains, ghosts, haunted amusement parks, mass graves, rooms that lead to other places, yokais and daevils — just another Friday. My name is Jain Shin Hallow, and I'm the last Diabolist of New York.
A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him.
Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. The System granted people magic and even ways to defy time itself, but the tutorial has become more of a slaughter trial than a learning experience.
A post-apocalyptic LitRPG featuring an adaptive magic system that evolves based on its wielder, multi-POV storytelling, and expansive worldbuilding.
For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods: sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods offer relics in return. But this world of powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant — until masked cultists try to sacrifice him to the gods.
Vowing revenge, Dain commits the ultimate taboo: creating his own altar. Only, he accidentally creates one for a god who shouldn't exist — a god that will only trade him cursed relics.
Dain will scour the world, hunt magic beasts, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics as he digs deeper into the ancient schemes behind the cultists who tried to destroy him.
Percy is a poor child with nothing to his name — no power, no family, only an old mentor who soon dies and leaves him truly alone. But everything changes when he gains access to mana and manifests an [Ego]: a rare ability that lets him consume what he owns and reforge the ordinary into the extraordinary. A wooden shovel can transform into a weapon of legend; a tattered coat into something impenetrable.
He claws his way from poverty to power, but the higher he climbs, the darker the world becomes. Powerful Adventurers vanish without a trace, and Percy is pulled straight into the heart of the mystery.

The Adventures of Rania Mortal the Perfectly Normal Elf
WittyPseudonym
B66/100
"I am legally required to inform you that she is a Perfectly Normal Elf," the devil said.
Rania Mortal would have told you that herself. She's never been sure why her normalcy is subject to debate. Sure, she knows very little about how society works, treats a painted pebble as a treasured companion, and bases an alarming number of decisions on what would look coolest in a book — but she has perfectly logical explanations for all of those things. Her fellow adventurers agree she is probably just eccentric. Perfectly ordinary behavior for a shaman.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, the god of stories has taken a personal interest in their mission, and Rania is certainly not helping on that front.

Sleuth out the reincarnators. Retrieve their jeweled eyes. Stop this world's destruction. That is Ailn's reluctant mission — except he is not really Ailn. He is an impostor: a detective from another world who cannot even remember his own name.
Summoned by a young god with a terrible habit of hiding crucial details, the detective must use his past-life instincts and emerald eyes to unmask other reincarnators — all while wearing a mask of his own. Now posing as a noble son whose family has protected the empire from shadow beasts for generations, he faces a complication: the original Ailn had a trash reputation, was just killed, and the prime suspect is his sister, the duchy's beloved future Saintess.
First things first: time to solve his own murder.
Harry Potter and the Surprisingly Competent History of Magic Professor
TheFanficGOD
B66/100
Cassian Rosier is a near-Squib from one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families — the family's punching bag, mocked and barely tolerated. When a simple light spell becomes his last chance to prove himself, his world shatters: the Cassian they knew is gone, replaced by a man from our world with no magic but a lifetime of teaching behind him, and only the vaguest memories of a "Harry Potter" series he never bothered to read.
Trapped in a ruined reputation with no real power, the new Cassian has one goal: survive. When forced to lecture on magic, he bluffs his way through by teaching Lumos — a spell he doesn't know. Something strange happens: as hundreds of students learn from his lecture, mastery floods his mind. Ancient variations awaken, along with memories that don't belong to him — some illuminating forgotten magic, others sharp, dark, and dangerous.
Sent to Hogwarts as a professor, Cassian must juggle pureblood family expectations, faculty suspicion, and a power that grows every time he teaches — while wondering whether he is drawing on ancient wisdom or inviting something far worse into himself.
Nic Tutt is a good student. He excels at all subjects. But his education serves only one purpose — to gain entry into the Ransom School.
Ransom is the most prestigious school in the country. Its alumni are destined to become the future leaders of Ranvar: politicians, statesmen, and in some exceptional cases, mages. Only the brightest and the best get in.
But Nic doesn't care about any of that. He has another reason entirely for wanting to enter Ranvar's most famous school.
Malvia was once an Infernal of the Black Flame gang, a member of the Empire's most despised race serving in one of its most infamous criminal enterprises. But that's all in the past now. One faked death later, she's been living as Katheryn Falara, a slightly sketchy alchemist operating under the nose of the law — and business is booming.
With the Anglean Empire's nobility constantly scheming against each other, both magic and machine benefiting from her skills, and an ever-expanding kingdom full of rare ingredients, Malvia has been content to sit on the sidelines and make a tidy sum of cash. However, a rash of poisonings among the noble heirs makes her behind-the-scenes role impossible. Elements of a life she wanted to leave behind keep resurfacing, and soon she'll find herself at the center of a web of intrigue — figure out the web, or be trapped by it forever.
