Too Stubborn to Die

B. F. Huups, Sir Bedivere the Mad

B64/100
Fear of death never stopped Aaron from doing something dangerous. Now actual death can't either. Aaron was always a daredevil — motorcycles, cave diving, bungee jumping, skydiving. When his entire universe gets pulled into a System-managed multiverse, he happens to be skydiving, so instead of a peaceful introduction he goes splat and instantly dies. A goddess takes pity and resurrects him, but the only place she can send him is the Shadow Trials — a special dimension designed for the prodigies of each new universe. Stuck in the Shadow Trials starting from level 1, Aaron has one saving grace: he revives every time he dies. And he's going to abuse that as much as he can.

Beyond Sunset

Cebelius

B63/100
No one has ever come back from beyond the veil. To Viggo, the veil was simply a landmark — crossing it was considered suicide, and he'd never given much thought to what might lay beyond. Then his life collapsed around him: ejected from the military academy, disowned by his family, passed over by the gods themselves. Viggo's last chance lay beyond the veil. Yet from the very beginning, something was deeply troubling about the realm from whence the gods came — its cities lay in ruins, its lands peopled by lunatics locked into tasks they could not escape. Even the natural laws were corrupted. Viggo's access to a strange, seemingly omnipotent system gave him new abilities and limitless potential, but in a world where death itself had lost its grip, the hard part would be keeping his sanity.

Becoming the Dark Lord

Mark Evenhart (aturato)

B62/100
The System integrated Earth into a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Half of humanity answered the call. Some return stronger. Others never return. Thirteen years ago, Luke's mother entered the Tutorial and vanished. Now Luke faces the same trial — not for glory, but for answers. What should be a beginner's test becomes a death sentence when he falls into a forgotten dungeon floor where monsters are scarce, supplies are limited, and the only way out is a temple hanging over an abyss, guarded by a sleeping demon. Every puzzle kills. Every step risks his life. No buffs, no tricks — just a knife and the raw will to survive. When the light fades and the body breaks, Luke has only one choice: embrace the darkness and be reborn.
