Then it hits him—a glowing screen hovers before his eyes: [System Activated: Welcome, User.] Armed with a sarcastic, semi-broken AI system that rewards creativity over carnage, Leo sets out to rank up in a brutal society where the weak are cannon fodder and the strong get rich or die legendary.

From rent debt to world threat—Leo’s coming for the top rank. And this time, life better stay out of his damn way.

A machine malfunction occurred at the time, resulting in the emergence of various portals. The monsters sprang forth from the portal. They are going to annihilate humans. Humans have been looking for ways to survive ever since. The study's findings yielded a substance known as acid rank, which can cause humans to improve their abilities. Humans can advance to the next level by combining a level indicator bracelet. Humans have taken turns hunting monsters since then. The hunters banded together to form a guild. The dungeon is under the control of the government in order to maintain order. Transactions took place gradually, until the majority of the dungeons were controlled by private parties. The hunters were required to pay a fee to the dungeon owner as well as fees. Hunters' activities gradually came under the control of large corporations. The hunters were completely controlled by capital owners, who gradually gained control of nearly half of the government system. Decades have gone by. The world has been rearranged.

At eighteen, every human receives an Awakening—a chance to gain a powerful combat class and climb the ranks from F to the legendary SSR. Leo has spent his entire life dreaming of becoming a great hunter. But on the day of his Awakening, his dreams are crushed. F-Rank. Scavenger. Trash-tier potential. Humiliated by his peers and abandoned by the guild that once promised to protect him, Leo is thrown into a low-level dungeon as nothing more than expendable bait. Surrounded by monsters with no chance of survival, he prepares to die. Then something impossible happens. His worthless Scavenger class glitches. A forbidden system awakens within him—the Infinite Trial System. But it isn't a gift. The system rewards Leo only when he survives pain that should have killed him. Every broken bone, every wound, every agonizing battle can become strength. To grow, he must endure what others cannot. The stronger the enemy, the greater the pain. The closer he comes to death, the faster he evolves. While the world continues to see Leo as a pathetic F-Rank failure, he begins a secret journey of unimaginable growth. He hunts monsters, challenges powerful guilds, survives impossible trials, and slowly uncovers the terrifying truth behind his system. But becoming powerful comes at a price. When Leo finally challenges the corrupt forces controlling the world, he becomes humanity's most wanted enemy—and the Infinite Trial gives him a quest with a 99% mortality rate. Leo has spent his entire life being treated like trash. Now, he's going to show the world what happens when trash awakens as a sovereign.

“Damn, concocting a poison to end you was really tough.” That was the last thing Arthur heard before he felt a knife tear through him. The Demon Lord was dead, but so was the Hero. Betrayed by his party and left to rot in the dungeon, Arthur just couldn't accept that. [Mythical Skill: Death] The skill that lie in waste all his life now activate making the end a new beginning. Opening his eyes in the body of a weakened monster with a unique looking system glowing infront of him.

Ogres have four distinct traits: they all have tusks and horns, their favourite food is human flesh, they have a weak spot somewhere on their body, and, most importantly, they can all use magic. That one fact made them so absurdly powerful that they'd driven the human race to its last haven—a continent known as Eden. So no one expected Noah to eat them. Centuries before Noah was born, there arose wizards: powerful superhumans wielding unique magic—supernatural abilities that enabled them to fight back the Ogres into a stalemate. Noah was the opposite of this. He was a slumrat: a magicless nobody who lived off heaps of trash, beneath even your average man. But after being dragged into a level six dungeon thanks to the king's decree, Noah is left face to face with a two-thousand-year-old humanoid Ogre, and at the point of death, awakens a codex—a system-like runic interface—and a strange but unique ability to devour Ogres and wield mutated forms of their abilities. Except, he can't exactly predict what those mutated abilities will be. Now armed with an ability to climb the ranks to become the strongest, and most importantly save his younger brother, Noah begins the spiteful ascent to becoming the strongest wizard. A journey full of death, devouring, more devouring, and batshit chaos that might just save the world.

Transmigrating into my own novel should have been a dream, but instead, it’s a death sentence. I woke up in the body of Liam, the Ninth Prince of the Vermilion Empire—a pathetic cannon fodder character I created just to be executed by the Emperor to satisfy the main protagonist's growth. According to the plot I wrote, my head is scheduled to roll soon. However, the world doesn't know that I hold the blueprints to its existence. With my hidden knowledge of every secret plot and a mysterious Summoning System that has manifested within me, I will rewrite my fate. I am no longer a stepping stone. To survive and reach the peak of this world, I’ll have to become the very nightmare I once authored.

Left to rot in the depths of the Black Dungeon by the people he trusted, Marius was supposed to die a nameless orphan. Instead, he fused with the soul of the last Origin Dragon. Now, armed with the Origin Genesis System and the forbidden Dragon Devouring Art, Marius can do what no human has ever done: craft cheat-level abilities from nothing, extract the bloodlines of his fallen enemies, and evolve by consuming dungeon cores. The Academy called him trash. The world shackled him with a talent-based caste system but Marius is no longer human. To take his revenge, he has 74 hours to execute his betrayers right under the nose of the Academy’s lie detectors but eliminating them is only the beginning. In a world where the Ten Thousand Races hunted dragons to extinction, Marius will slaughter his way to the top or devour the cosmic order trying.

In a world where Hunters risk their lives clearing dimensional Rifts for profit and survival, Arthur Pendelton is universally mocked as the bottom of the barrel—the "Weakest Hunter." When a routine D-Rank exploration goes horribly wrong, Arthur and a small vanguard find themselves trapped within the Cartenon Temple, a hidden Double Dungeon overseen by a colossal, murderous stone titan. Bound by ancient, unyielding rules inscribed on a runic tablet, the party is systematically torn to pieces as traditional combat proves utterly useless. With elite combatants losing their limbs and their minds to the horrific trials, salvation falls on the unlikely shoulders of Arthur. Armed with nothing but a brilliant analytical mind and a hyper-alert survival instinct, he must decode the dungeon's mathematical traps before the remaining survivors are wiped out. But as the trials demand bloodier sacrifices, Arthur realizes that surviving the temple is only the first step in a system designed to completely rebuild him from the ground up.
