Mephisto's Magic Online

Christopher Johns

F21/100
A dazzling world of wonder and power — gifts from the game gods for every person, with perfect magic for every user. Seth, a popular streamer, can't wait to see what this new world has in store. The game boasts algorithms designed to read biometrics and brain patterns to find the perfect magical fit — magic so personalized that no two casters will ever be the same. Then the unthinkable happened: the safeties and guarantees failed. The company insists the system is infallible and will do nothing. Seth and his team have no other choice — they need to grind it out and evolve their gifts in time to stream.

Blighted: A Plague Rat's Tale

Notsae

F21/100
Waking up as a reviled vector of plague, a nihilistic, power-hungry sociopath attempts to free themselves from the shackles of mortality and time. In a world racked with war, crime, and unfocused violence — partially fueled by a system that encourages random acts of senseless violence — one little rat seeks to murder his way to the top of the food chain. Betrayal, mass murder, war, a curse from the dead gods, unfettered magical experimentation, slavery, rampaging monsters, and a raging holy war have rendered this world a violent hellhole: perfect for a violent opportunist to thrive in.

When Auric finally takes matters into his own hands, the chain of events he sets off threatens to reshape Reality itself. Unless he can find a way to stop it.

Spirit Core

Jonathan Brooks

F21/100
Clive Logan was a serial killer — caught, convicted, and executed. That should have been the end. Instead, after enjoying Hell far too much, he was singled out to become a Spirit Core: an invisible spiritual entity sent back to Earth. His new existence follows rules not unlike the video games he once programmed, with a core objective of invoking fear in his targets. There is just one problem: having never felt any emotions himself, Clive has no idea what fear actually means.

Mediocre Master: I Can See Your Hidden Potential! (A Xianxia Sect-Building LitRPG)

Calmari

F20/100
In the world of cultivation, talent is everything — and for Lu Chen, it was his greatest failure. After a lifetime of playing high-stakes strategy games on Earth, he wakes up as the Sect Leader of the Coiling Dragon Sect. It's a prestigious title hiding a crumbling ruin: mediocre disciples and a leader stuck at Foundation Establishment with zero hope of breakthrough. But his transmigration came with a gift — Truth Seeker's Gaze. With a single glance, flawed cultivation manuals reveal themselves as masterpieces, worthless spirit stones become hidden gems, and a mortal servant girl the world writes off as talentless is exposed as a monster with a Dormant True Dragon Bloodline and a Sacred Cosmic Bone. While other Sect Leaders chase after genius disciples, Lu Chen begins his Trash Collection. He doesn't need to be the strongest cultivator — he just needs to hold the leashes of the monsters he's about to unleash.

This Necromancer Raised Civilization Instead Of The Dead

Bimbanana

F20/100
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.

The Sixth Campaign

K.J. Licht

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.
