Village Manager

Andrew Karevik

D27/100
One fatal collision while rushing for the bus and the protagonist is standing before a goddess, his short life of gaming and sleeping deemed not worth much. In lieu of moving on to the afterlife, a wager is struck: prove that all those hours spent in simulation and management games were worthwhile by taking charge of a desolate, Level 1 village and making it thrive. Fail or die, and it's back to the grocery store. But that's not going to happen. There's just the small matter of figuring out where to start — and why the mayor won't wake up.

With the "Loner" curse meaning he can rely on no one but himself, Andrew must turn Arktania upside down in his quest for five ancient swords.

Time Cursed Knight

GCLopes

D27/100
In 2097, humanity discovered Mana. Arcane academies, spelltech cities, enchanted weaponry — magic became ordinary. But that blessing tore open portals across the globe, and the beings who stepped through were not refugees. They were invaders. They took everything. Now all that remains of humanity is a sliver of land clinging to the edge of a shattered continent. Every death drags the protagonist back to the beginning of the day. Every loop forces him to train harder, learn faster, and outthink a world designed to erase him. Some call this power a gift. To him, it's a curse — but curses can be shaped into weapons.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D27/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

Valterion: The Space/Arch? Mage

phn11x

D26/100
Magic is real, and thousands of years ago it made interstellar travel possible. Now Earth is only a distant memory, lost to envy and greed when not everyone could be a Mage. Advances in technology leveled the playing field — and sparked conflicts still burning today across system-spanning nations, some Mage-friendly, some not. Sara is the long-lost daughter of two of the most powerful Mages in existence. Follow her as she discovers her powers, makes friends, accidentally acquires a super-powerful AI, and finds a way out of the Mage-hating nation she grew up in. Her journey takes her across the galaxy as she uncovers her origins — navigating a universe where Space Mages are essential for travel between systems, and where being one in the wrong place can be very dangerous.

I Tricked a God

Mortykay

D26/100
Born with a soul mutation desired even by the Gods — perfect memory — Kael could recall every word, every book, yet not a single drop of mana. Mockery, beatings, a ruined family, and a desperate deal with the God of Knowledge and Madness condemned him to centuries of slavery in the endless Divine Library. Seven hundred years of torment turned him into a vessel of knowledge. Then hatred — and the stolen Canon of Primordial Void — gave him a chance. Kael escaped back into his fifteen-year-old body, months before tragedy struck. Now he carries not only memory, but the knowledge of countless worlds. His goals: protect his family, hide from the gaze of the Gods, walk the path of power once denied to him — and take revenge against the God who enslaved him.

The Angels left a parting gift before their defeat: a System that bestows humanity the power to fight back. With it, Jaco will master his Druid Class and do whatever it takes not only to survive the end of the world, but to thrive.
