Deadworld Isekai

RC Joshua

B70/100
Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

Elsewhere

Jack Fields

B70/100
Andy "Duke" Ellington was an exceptional fighter pilot who always pushed too hard — until the end finally came for him. Then he was Elsewhere: a completely different world where magic and stats were his new reality, with no support and only a marginal clue. Imprisoned Archmages, corrupt rulers, mysterious forces from beyond, and ancient dungeons all want a piece of him. He's happy to take them all on — and show everyone what happens when you mess with the Duke.

Level Up

Dan Sugralinov

B70/100
At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer struggling to make ends meet. On the day his wife dumps him, he receives a mysterious piece of wetware — a game interface implanted in his brain that allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player. Now that Phil can see his real-life stats, they're far below average. But real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. As Phil begins to improve himself guided by his own conscience, he must also find out who implanted the mysterious game in his brain — and how he's supposed to deal with an apparently omnipotent unknown force.

Crimson Eternal

WolfShine

B70/100
Death is an inevitability for all — except Aria. In a world locked in war, with most continents already wiped out before a Great Treaty banned strategic-level weaponry, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since childhood, she has almost forgotten what it was like not to be at war. When a System screen appears before every person on the planet, humanity gains classes, levels, and new powers — just as invaders from another world declare war to claim the planet for themselves. After ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out. One that involves even more fighting. As the only True Immortal in the universe, dubbed by the System as Death itself, she must figure out what that means for her future.

A long-time player of a sci-fi VRMMO was eagerly awaiting the big update that would add countless new systems and rumored game elements. When the update arrived, disaster struck.

True Calling

Thad Ward

B70/100
As a programmer, Ike knows all about Virtual Dive Experiences — but when he suddenly wakes up in a virtual game he has never heard of, he is too busy struggling to survive to worry about how he got there. Luckily, he has a trick up his sleeve: the ability to program custom enchantments for his gear. He will need that and more to figure out what is going on, since there is no tutorial and True Calling plays by its own rules: your class and race are chosen for you, the NPCs are indistinguishable from the players, every quest is unique, and the GMs keep leaving Ike's prayers unanswered.

As far as he knows, he is one of the only people on Earth with this power. Events will unfold that change Jake's life forever. He might even lose his very humanity while trying to do the right thing — but in return, perhaps he will grasp a second chance to save himself and others, to correct the past. He is about to be caught up in something much greater than himself. Will he be consumed by the machinations of greater powers? No matter how terrible the odds, Jake doesn't give up.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B70/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.

Slime Sweets and Dungeon Treats

Pandora Pierce

B69/100
After waking up in a dungeon, Hazel wasn't about to grab a sword and start fighting. Instead, she picked up a sandwich — and that choice glitched the system, giving her a brand-new class: Culinary Mage. Now Hazel is baking her way through the dungeon, making friends with slimes, and cooking up a storm instead of grinding monsters. XP from cooking, a quest to escape by reaching floor 100, and a cafe full of adorable slimes who evolve by eating good food — it's not a conventional approach, but it might just work. As Hazel's cafe grows and her dishes become legendary, she starts to wonder if defeating the boss is really the key to her freedom — or if there's more to this dungeon than meets the eye.

Hell Hound Evolution

Winter Knights

B69/100
She's a puppy. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve. Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things — playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps, and leveling up. With five siblings who all have unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and three-headed Cerberus Dad, nothing seemed like it could go wrong. That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

I Swear I'm Not A Dark Lord!

CJ Holmes

B69/100
Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about. Except his family abandoned him, his new body is cursed, gods meddle in his affairs, the local mayor keeps dumping responsibilities on him, a strange kid keeps challenging him to duels, and everyone seems to want to know if he'd like to be a dark lord. Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker trout hiding in the river?

His arm now absorbs power from people and weapons alike. The dangers of the Rings of Jupiter once took everything from him. Now he has the chance to make things right — to get revenge. A noir-inspired, dystopian space setting full of conspiracies, murder, cults, and mysteries.
