Peasant Farmer to Emperor Mage

JustKidding

D37/100
Jacob is, by his own parents' estimation, a waste of a human. He flunked out of college, can't hold a job, and is approaching thirty with nothing to show for it. Then an incident removes him from their lives entirely — and sets him on the path of reincarnation, guided by a friendly old man into a world of magic. Reborn as the son of peasant farmers in the world of Meldra, Jacob uses his knowledge of modern agriculture and a touch of magic to turn his humble origins around. What begins as a slice-of-life story of survival and farming gradually opens into a broader magical adventure as the world's system comes into full focus.

Nullform

Dem Mikhailov

D36/100
In this world, everyone arrives with no memory of their past life and no limbs — everything is rented, and payment is due daily. The System assigns tasks; fail to complete them and you're fined and stripped of everything. Blind spots in the System's surveillance hide brutal, lawless violence. You are assigned a number. You are a volitional Nullform. Adapt, survive, and climb — or be swallowed by the endless pit of debt. This world will not take pity on you.

Passive Aggressive

N Conceivable

D36/100
A meth lab, a rift, and an alien invasion that goes sideways — humanity repels the attack and immediately launches its own counter-conquest into the invaders' realm. Liam has had a rough life and sees this as his one chance to make something of himself. To maximize his gains, he accepts a brutal trade-off: no offensive powers, no weapons, not even a thrown punch. In exchange, he receives passive abilities that could make him unstoppable — if he survives long enough to use them. The Gold Rush 2.0 is on, the competition is murderous, and Liam's only edge is learning to turn passivity into dominance.

Summoner's Ascent

Dice

D36/100

As Earth closes in on its end, Ashton, armed with nothing but the knowledge forced upon him, becomes a Summoner. Elementals, spirits, fairies, even demons — he will call them to his side, defeat the monsters swarming Earth, and put the Council responsible for bringing the System in its place. Most importantly, he intends to save humanity in the process.

God Of Velmoryn

Winged Sage

D36/100
One moment I was a nobody — a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. The next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen informing me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. So I destroyed the last statue of the velmoryn goddess: if I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers, and a little divine intervention seemed like the right place to start. Now I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise.

The Devil's Foundry

Argentorum, Joseph Marcia

D36/100
It's not easy being the most famous villain in the United States, but Via Rodriguez — aka Empress — manages. Her wicked schemes take an unexpected turn when a getaway gone wrong lands both her and her current foe, the annoyingly perky Hero Electra, in the middle of an unknown land that is definitely not Earth. Silverwall is bizarre: Via is suddenly imbued with diabolical magical powers, an annoying menu keeps popping up about mana and Status Points, and no one has heard of the internet. Stripped of her usual gadgets, Via will have to rely on her wits, charm, and newfound demonic skills — and cooperate with the last person she'd ever want to team up with.

The Lich Queen

YoruTsubasa

D36/100
When Sepharin K. Vrost awakens in an unfamiliar world, she's no longer the ruler of Necron's eternal night — but the Warden of a crumbling northern border in a frozen land besieged by monsters. Burdened with a new mortal body, she must wield forbidden necromancy and frost magic to resurrect the fallen as undead soldiers. Her people despise her methods, and her estranged brother demands she relinquish her power. Sepharin has only one option: conquer death itself and defend her realm. After all, true queens never rest in peace. In the second arc, as she enters the Tomb of the Dread Empress, war with the orcs reaches its climax and long-imprisoned powers break free. Inheriting a Dreadworking Stronghold sets Sepharin on the path of rebuilding her legion — machinery capable of levelling cities, flying towers, and beacons that illuminate the frozen skies. But old forgotten souls stir in the deepest dark, and the powers ruling the world have begun to notice.

The Body's Dungeon

Jeffrey Logue, Jonathan Brooks

D36/100
In the icy north, a young orphan-thief named Marstin Hardgrove is beaten and left for dead in an abandoned mine — forced to eat dirt and rocks before he collapses. Unbeknownst to him, among those rocks was a tiny dungeon crystal. Thrown into the microscopic world of cells, bacteria, and pathogens, the crystal quickly decides it doesn't want to escape — it wants to possess the body entirely. To survive Marstin's immune system and the hostile pathogens threatening them both, the crystal must create its own immune-cell defenders, lay traps, and transform the body into a dungeon. A science-grounded LitRPG told from the perspective of a dungeon core operating inside a living person, alongside the outer adventures of the host.

Jeff the Game Master

Jaime Castle, Troy Osgood

D36/100
Infinite Worlds is the most popular VRMMORPG on the market, and Game Master Jeff Driscoll has a very boring job: help players deal with the occasional bug and ensure they give a five-star rating. He's not allowed to actually play — something about conflicts of interest. But when the game's AIs unexpectedly issue a Rogue Patch, Infinite Worlds becomes a buggy mess and Jeff's role radically changes. He finds himself as the only Game Master around, dealing with more problems than he can handle — and wielding the ability to manipulate the game's code in ways that appear to be magic.
