DarkRE: Shadows of Nekrom

SOMBRAcorpDT

F10/100
Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, summoned into the world of Nekrom without explanation — and immediately killed. But Death is not the end for her. The mysterious God of Chaos granted her a unique Divine ability: [Death and Resurrection], capable of bending the fabric of space and time to bring her back to life. Now every death, every inch of pain, every scrap of information carries forward into the next loop. A never-ending spiral of fear, violence, and divine power. A path Tristessa must traverse to uncover the dark truths behind her lost memories and the tragedies bringing Nekrom to the brink of collapse — under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen.

Mysteries of Sacra

Robert Wolf

F10/100
One moment, Kai was an ordinary teenager on Earth. The next, he is torn into Sacra — a savage realm ruled by spirit beasts, ancient mana, and fallen gods. Alone, untrained, and relentlessly hunted, his only goal is survival. When he saves a dying beast and kills a deadly predator, everything changes. He discovers a terrifying power: the ability to absorb the souls of his enemies and claim their skills as his own. Each soul strengthens him, but also warps him, as their memories claw at his mind and threaten to consume what is left of the boy he once was. With companions Umbra and Scry as his anchors, Kai must decide who he wants to be — and what he is willing to sacrifice — to escape Sacra and return home.

The God Machine

EmergencyComplaints

F10/100
When Luke Bennet wakes in a world where time flows differently than on Earth, he discovers his missing family has been dead for a hundred years. Left to survive in a hostile wilderness, he must depend on his newly acquired System to level up and stay alive. When he finally reaches civilization, the locals mistake him for a Guardian. Soon he's brawling in a fight club to earn his keep — but the dreaded inquisitors are on his tail. With the sharp-tongued Zea by his side, he needs to find the God Machine as fast as possible to bring his family back. But nothing is as it appears, and Luke's own System seems to be manipulating him. If he can't trust it, who can he trust?

Ethria

Aaron Holloway

F10/100
Given a choice between a risky route home and a safer path through a world called Ethria, Daniel "Rayid" Tear enters Ethria. It operates like the video games he loves — power found in many forms, light and dark — but its true purpose is unknown even to most of its inhabitants. Taking the long road home, Rayid chooses to help a persecuted people whose story mirrors his pioneer ancestors. But gods are changing, nations are shifting, and an ancient evil stirs at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains. What can one under-leveled foreign wizard do?

Kingdom of Iron: Tyrant's Fall

WanderingLeaf

F10/100
They say a good man cannot make a good king — but what if he isn't given a choice? Matthew Irons, a night security guard with two degrees and a dead-end life, stops a murder by force and is dragged onto the throne of a kingdom in another world. It's no fairy tale: he'll be ruling over would-be warlords, traitors, and slavers. The threats from his supposed allies are bad enough without the invasions, assassins, and — worst of all — bad city planning. Still, even as he fights to survive in a world full of danger, Matt is determined to drag his new kingdom into a new age, one where kings and despots are no longer needed — no matter who he has to fight to make it happen.

Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Ezy - Dreams Abyss

F10/100
An unfortunate man finds himself stranded in a hostile forest with a system that has turned his gender upside down. Transformed into a beast, he must scavenge and survive while navigating a Cultivation Society that either kills monsters like him or seeks to collar them as contracted pets. As his system pushes him toward evolving into a divine beast — or possibly back into a human — he must find his place in a world that sees him as property. A slow-paced xianxia cultivation story with gender-bending and yuri romance elements, focused on a non-human protagonist carving out a life in an unfamiliar world.

Wastrel Heir of Velmoria: A Regressor Magic School Adventure

Daoist Enigma

F9/100
The kingdom's last defender had one chance to send his memories back in time. He chose wrong. The Sword Warden of Cravess watched his knights burn alive as Black Mana consumed his lands. With his dying breath, he passed his memories sixteen years into the past — not to himself, but to his best friend Lucan Velmoria, a genius who'd accomplished legendary feats before dying to save the Warden's life. Except that genius never existed. The real Lucan is an outcast drowning in wine, heir to a dukedom he never wanted, with a Shadow Mana affinity no one has ever advanced past Second-Circle. Now, with his half-sister marked for assassination, his mother trapped in endless sleep, and memories of techniques he has no idea how his future self mastered, he must figure out the impossible — and rewrite the ending.

Rebirth: The Blue Box Heretic

T. Carter

F9/100
He remembers his name was Richard. He remembers video games and headaches. But the life he knew is gone — he has been reborn as a baby named Nondol in a world governed by a sarcastic, bizarre System. Trapped in an infant's body with the fragmented memories of an adult mind, Nondol navigates magic, political intrigue, and the daily indignity of diapers. His only guide is a series of infuriating blue quest boxes that offer cryptic advice and zero rewards. In a kingdom where power is everything, a one-in-a-billion mage prodigy is the property of the crown — whether he consents or not.

Eat Them All

Of Rantings and Ramblings

F9/100
Reggie was not an important person — quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to stay fed and alive while making sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it.

The Broken Arcanist

Aleth08

F9/100
The guild ruled Thorin ineligible. The crystal confirmed it. With no path through the official system, his only option is an illegal branding — and affinities so weak that brute force is never on the table. Every fight is a calculation. Every mistake costs time he doesn't have. With his cousins Clay and Quin at his back, Thorin learns to weaponise broken power through planning, restraint, and hard decisions. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants control — and to reclaim what his name once stood for, whatever it takes. A cultivation-LitRPG blend inspired by Warlock of the Magus World and Reverend Insanity.

Founder of the Beastkin Clan

Saberfang

F8/100
Kai Tong, a cultivator of the Ember Sword Sect, is an enigma among his peers. While others are consumed by the pursuit of immortality, Kai finds little interest in such ambitions — instead finding greater purpose in caring for the mystical creatures entrusted to him. His peaceful life is upended when vivid dreams from another world thrust him into unforeseen danger. These dreams grant him unusual knowledge, setting him on a path no cultivator has ever dared to tread. As Kai uncovers a revolutionary cultivation method, he defies tradition and reshapes the fabric of his world — establishing the Beastkin Clan, a society of mythical creatures bound by unity and strength. A slow-burn story of an MC who refuses to be ruthless, where fluffy companions matter as much as cultivation breakthroughs.

For four years, Mark dominated Tower Defense: Age of Blood as the Max-Level Vampire Sovereign — level 500, master of the Crimson Ziggurat, ruler of an army of monstrous servants. Then the game ended. He woke up sitting on the throne. The fortress is real. The system still exists. His servants kneel before him as though nothing has changed. But a thousand years have passed, and the world beyond the Crimson Ziggurat no longer follows the rules he remembers. With an unknown world stretching beyond his desert stronghold, Mark must explore, adapt, and reclaim dominance in a reality that has moved on without him.

A Dungeon That Kills

Hitenma

F8/100
Viktor had been called many names: the Impaler, the Tyrant, the Dark Emperor. He carved out an empire across an entire world, bringing kingdoms to their knees — until the Six Heroes slew him, stole his power, and divided it among themselves. Three hundred years later, Viktor awakens in the body of a young boy named Quinn to find his castle in ruins, his capital razed, and the once-prosperous Central Plains a wild land ruled by trees and beasts. The only thing he finds among the rubble is a small, underdeveloped Dungeon Core. With that fledgling Core as his only ally, he sets out to exact vengeance on the Six Heroes' descendants and reclaim what is rightfully his.

Dark Magical Girl

Laulau20

F8/100
Thirty years ago, monsters called Anathema attacked the world. Despite humanity's best efforts, they were defeated. Then came the Zenith — providing seven sanctuary cities for the survivors and bestowing the power to repel Anathema through magical girls and guardians. Now, humanity is trying to reconquer the Earth. Despite being an honor student and always maintaining proper behavior, the narrator was not chosen as a magical girl — perhaps because, unlike others, her feelings weren't genuine. She never idolized magical girls like everyone else. Yet against all odds, one day she is chosen. How can she inspire hope and dreams in others when she lacks them herself?

That Time I Was Reincarnated into Another World as a Genius Supreme Archmage

Noelle Falkenhorst

F8/100
Kazuma Takahashi, a 32-year-old corporate slave, dies after a gaming marathon and wakes up as a newborn in a fantasy world where magic determines social status. Reborn with all his memories intact, he quickly realizes his adult mind gives him an edge — except he is born with an embarrassingly tiny mana pool, making him worthless by this world's standards. Rather than despair, Kazuma (now named Cid Arnett) uses knowledge, shamelessness, and a complete lack of moral scruples to game the system and claw toward power. His journey from magically impotent baby to legendary mage is paved with schemes and hilarious misunderstandings.

The Dragonmancer Returns

Bertt

F8/100
The slaying of a dragon was meant to end his adventures. Instead, it was just the beginning of his own draconic journey. Meriel, a young and talented mage, had everything: a beloved partner, a delver party who became family, and a place among history's most prominent mages. There was just one last thing to do — slay the dragon at the heart of the most dangerous dungeon in the Lavarza kingdom. He didn't disappoint. But then everything went wrong. Betrayed, he is sealed away for decades in an inescapable magical stasis, with only the memory of that magnificent dragon for company. In that bubble, he crafts and builds. When the bubble finally bursts, Meriel finds himself in a completely different era. The magic academy has forgotten how magic works, the kingdom faces threats from all sides, and powerful beasts thought long banished are waking again. Thankfully, Meriel has his new Dragon-Crafting spells — and the knowledge to build a defence from the ground up.

Magnus Cromwell is a professional killer — organized, efficient, utterly ruthless. When his sister's life is threatened, he responds with hypersonic gunfire and tungsten rods from orbit. The job should have been clean. Then something hits him and Magnus wakes up in a fantasy world with nothing but his armor and a cryptic half-written note. Strange predators track him, his life is on a timer, and dark visions haunt his sleep. There is never a good day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. The universe managed to pick the worst one possible.

The Lamp That No Longer Shines: A LitRPG Action Comedy

Broken_Bulb

F7/100
I was a game designer. Now I'm a Witch. Witches don't cast spells by candlelight and pray to the moon — they audit gods and harvest planets for fuel. They settle academic disputes at gunpoint, and the loser writes her rebuttal from the afterlife. Their idea of mercy is turning your civilization into a battery instead of fertilizer. The problem is, I'm the only one who arrived at this civilization with a corporate mindset. Everyone else is an immortal, overpowered genius who treats reality like a personal sandbox. Nobody here has needed documentation — or anyone like me — in two thousand years. I am trying, very politely, to bring version control to a species that considers chaos a design philosophy. But here's the thing about these arrogant, violent, impossible women: if I ever fall, they will burn a galaxy to bring me home. And for the first time in two lifetimes, that means something.

Ryan Rimmel

Five friends gather for their usual game night, but when they use a strange new die they are instantly transported to a fantasy world where all gaming ideas can come true. Together, the party must join forces to deal with the vile Necrolord, whose plans threaten not only this world but Earth as well. Should be easy for a team of lifelong gamers — but when gaming and real life collide, there are situations that can't be anticipated.
