Reader Mage

A Random Turtle

F14/100
He read the novel no one else would — and now had a System to show for it. Merlin Tyrrell's favorite web novel came to an end, and with it his dream of entering one of the most prestigious Mage Academies on Earth. Evaluated as Deficient — a Mage who could cast no spells — he could only watch as his wish to protect those he loved from Dungeons and Towers slipped away. That was, until the author sent him a gift for being his sole reader until the end: the System of the novel's protagonist, and his greatest Skill — Reader Mage. Now possessing the ability to analyze and deconstruct spells on the fly, Merlin sets out to become the greatest Mage to ever exist.

Slay Hero Gilgamesh

TyZombo

Dr. Druid

Maxwell Farmer

Hated by the locals and deemed useless by teammates who can already heal themselves, Virgil was cast aside. Abandoned and alone, he will take on the threat to this world regardless of who gets in his way.

League of Losers

Michael Atamanov

F14/100

Deathstalker Demigods

Kurtis Eckstein

F14/100
Waking up to discover the apocalypse had begun — and that he was no longer human — was not how he thought his day would go. He'd apparently been a mindless monster for the last several months. The city is a mess, massive black towers rising like thorns from destroyed buildings. Strangest of all: a visual hallucination displaying game-like stats. The monsters and bizarre landscape aren't the weirdest part of this apocalypse.

Secrets and Starships

L.E. Lauri

F14/100
Heath was piloting the Wandering Loon on a cargo run through deep space when a freak astral storm destroyed his plans. Limping into port in a barely-functional ship, every seasoned spacer agrees the smart move is to sell the Loon for parts and start fresh. Heath refuses. Determined to restore the ship and preserve his uncle's legacy, he assembles a new crew and seizes any opportunity — from dabbling with smugglers to supplying frontier explorers — to make it as independent haulers. But life on the Rim demands constant growth: get strong enough to defend themselves or get crushed. And what Heath has inherited may be far more dangerous than just a starship and a dream.

With no proper gear, no crafting skills, and the knowledge that dying here is just as miserable as dying on Earth, survival demands finding a power leveler fast.

Robert Wolf

In a world ruled by Icons, Corvin Valtieri was born without one — a living disgrace to a legendary Paladin House. In a desperate bid to fix his broken son, Corvin's father injected him with forbidden angel's blood. It didn't grant divinity; it awakened a slumbering darkness that defied everything a Paladin should be. Hunted by his kin and cast into slavery as dungeon bait, Corvin's life became a countdown to a bloody end. But when he finally falls in the depths of a forbidden tomb, the System doesn't find just another host — it finds a glitch in creation itself. Corvin is no longer the boy who was promised nothing.
