Bloodline Tree

InkPainting

C47/100
In a world where the strong make the rules and bloodlines make the strong, Shu Yang felt incredibly unfortunate to be reborn as a lowly farmer in a small village. Without any special bloodline, he struggled to reach even the first stage of martial arts. Fortunately, the small seed that killed him in his previous life wasn't without a conscience. Taking root within his sea of consciousness, it granted Shu Yang an incredible ability: as long as his bloodline spread, he would receive feedback from his descendants, inheriting their talents and unique traits. His bloodline strengthening further and further, Shu Yang began gaining the power to truly explore this vast and mysterious world.

The Foundation of Smoke and Steel

JCAnderson2025

C46/100
I woke up in another man's body on the day of his arranged marriage to the most terrifying woman in the Kingdom. He was supposed to die — and the worst part is he already did, because he's still here, in my head. Bitter. Brilliant. Watching me relive every mistake he made in a life that ended with betrayal, heartbreak, and murder. But I'm not Ethan Zhou. I'm a systems engineer with a background in strategy, survival, and zero interest in playing by the rules of a cultivation world obsessed with bloodlines, legacies, and face. Together — whether we like it or not — we build something better. I'll play the quiet husband, the loyal son-in-law. Until it's time to rewrite the foundation beneath the empire's feet.

Urmie

C46/100
Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, is a Special Agent who finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world mid-mission. Her immediate priorities: find appropriate clothes, figure out where she is — and decide what to do about the half-dead child she finds in an alleyway. She'll take the little bun with her. She'll still find a way home. Or so she thought, until the boy turns out to be a Prince, and his father wants him back at the Palace. This is the story of a woman protecting her found family while navigating politics, harem intrigue, and assassination plots — and one infuriating man at the center of it all.

Unconquered Tower

DR PEAK

C46/100
A hundred years ago, thirteen towers arrived on Earth. Each year at noon on the summer solstice, the tower gates open, admitting any who wish to climb. Those who survive return with incredible powers and riches. Over the decades, the worlds inside the towers have leaked free, changing Earth and her inhabitants. Except for the Thirteenth Tower — the Unconquered Tower. Nobody has ever left it. Every year it leeches more life out of the world, turning the American Southwest into a growing graveyard. If it isn't cleared, it will consume the planet. Roan doesn't care about that. The tower has long been the gravestone for his family, as generations have tried to best it and save their ancestral homes. All he wants is to put one burning question to rest: are they dead? He only needs to clear the tower to find out.

Return of the Martial Messiah

ToraAKR

C45/100
ZionLine's promise was irresistible: triple your lifespan. The price? Surviving an unknown world rife with brutal combat, where gruesome deaths are terrifyingly real. For a desperate humanity, it was a price worth paying. But beneath the time dilation's gleaming facade lies a horrific truth that Earth's elite will kill to conceal. Raine KongRu has seen this future before — he lived through the captivity it heralds, and he knows there is precious little time to consolidate his power before millions die again. Under the guise of Alaric, Raine is hunted by those with the means to see him dead in both worlds. CronGate was once his home, its leaders his mentors, its people his own. They taught him everything he knew — and enslaved him for a lifetime. The feeling is mutual.

The Court of Souls?

Andur

D44/100
In a world of myths, gods, and demons, only power counts — the weak are worse than cattle, and survival of the fittest is the only law. A lonely child is born with a strange power that places him between light and darkness, shunned by his own people for what he can do. This is not a story of a noble man doing good amid monsters. It is a story of a demon who was, perhaps, kinder than the rest.

It's a good thing no one is immortal. Especially not Levi. A satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist, drawing on the vibes of The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City.

With her mother and sister still alive, Bing Xue brings eleven thousand years of supreme cultivation to bear — against the Tower, the gods who run it, and anything else that stands between her and the people she loves.
