After his parents died, Alex Roth had a plan: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the world’s greatest university of wizardry—but fate had another plan.

On his eighteenth, he is marked as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool', worst of the marks.

Rather than die or serve the other Heroes like Fools in the past, he packs up his little sister, his childhood friend and her cerberus, then flees for the university in hope of refuge, magic and to unravel the truth about his land’s evil.

There’s one small problem: The Mark tries to ruin magic while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat and spellcraft.…

…that is, unless he can learn to exploit the hell out of it.

This the first time I am writing a web novel type story, and I hope you like it. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me.

I'll be updating everyday in April (starting April 1st/April Fool's day) with the schedule dropping to Tues-Thur-Sat after that. 

There are currently 5 advanced chapters on my patreon as a thank you to patrons.

Chapters will be roughly 2000-2500 words.

***

Rating: This story is kind of like a PG-13 movie. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. 

Tone: Tone will be a mix of some action-adventure with excitement, comedy, slice of life elements and mystery. I won't be going too dark with this story. There will be mentions of war, some death, grief and violence.

MC: MC is analytical/rational with emotions. He is mostly in control of those emotions. MC will progress in power, eventually becoming very strong. When that happens, I'll add the Strong Lead tag.

Fights: Fights will be detailed.

***

Stuff this story won't have:

- Extreme grimdark content

- Murderhobo plots

- Edgy, anti-hero MC 

- Pacifist MC

- Harems

The fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties. Their Wyld armies are taking to the field, and the world is at war.

After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. He wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or a builder, and find a wife. Flint doesn't care about filling his remaining nodes with skill stones or wasting his life looking for a class. Wyldbloods like him aren't destined for greatness.

Flint's plans go out the window when the Universe sends him a Life Quest.

Reawaken the Sleeping Fort.
Protect the village of Lea's Slumber.
Give the Champion of Equilibrium time to grow.

Saying no wasn't an option when the quest involved the word 'Champion'.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The LitRPG elements will differ from what you're used to.
Since I'm not a fan of stats, I've devised a node system to go with the story.
There will be some action in the tale, but the primary focus is base-building and raising dogs.

This story is also participating in the [RR Writathon] and has 2500 words at the start of it.

If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things.

And people have branded me a myth.

But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone.

My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen.

These are what real myths are. And me?

I'm no legend.

I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick.

Death is a disease, and there is only one cure.

Tian, a Cultivator at the precipice of ascension, is thwarted in her quest for immortality. Defeated, she escapes to another world with Levels, Classes, magic, and monsters. She becomes a Lost Soul and her core begins to dwindle, but she does not abandon her goal.

Working with a group of rebels in this new world, she opposes the unkillable tyrant Galgom to learn his secrets. Against his army of machines wielding laser guns and laser swords, she will cultivate her new powers, achieving Feats as she seeks her antidote:

Immortality.

What to expect from this story:

- A rational MC.

- In-depth worldbuilding.

- No harems. 

- Badass female lead.

Just a forewarning, this book, once finished, will remain up for a period of time before being taken down for Kindle Unlimited. Unfortunately, I won't be able to maintain three web serials with a consistent schedule for an extended period of time, hence my decision.

However, the entire story will be available to read for free if you BINGE BINGE BINGE!

Adventurers flock to massive crypts brimming with riches and promises of power. Heroes storm the gates of dark fortresses, their swords drawn in the name of freedom. Gods tear the heavens asunder, clashing over the fate of the realm itself. Arek cooks lasagna and tops it with a dash of finely chopped basil. 

An orc who has seen more than his fair amount of fighting, Arek wants nothing more than to share his love of cooking with the world. However, when Ming and her crew of misfit adventurers hire him as their full-time chef, Arek's plans of avoiding violence crumble. He swore off killing for money and fame, but you can't make Wyrmfire Steak without killing a dragon.

Morcster Chef is a slapstick comedy novel that follows Arek and his new band of compatriots as they travel across the world, storming dungeons and cooking the best food that swords can kill. All the recipes that Arek uses can be found in the author's notes at the bottom of the chapter. They're all ones that I have personally cooked and vetted. Enjoy!

In a world of villains and heroes, the Kilborne family moved to the small town of Saint Mary. Their new neighbors, living in the 1888 Saint Mary cathedral, turned out to be a family of supervillains. Martin Kilborne would find school perfectly mundane if it wasn't for Alexa Terranova who is: constantly bothering him with a pocket raygun, demanding he become her minion and threatening to blow up the principal's office in a series of unnecessarily complicated, wacky plots. 

The more Martin learns about Alexa, the more dangerous and insane his life becomes as he is dragged into terrible, misfortunate, no good adventures of doom.

A wholesome, slice of life, superhero / supervillain sci-fi comedy, sprinkled with elements of horror.

It is an exciting time for the people of the Eurial continent.  The new [Mage] Class has allowed the powerful to begin uniting the fractured tribes and villages into kingdoms and civilization.  A century on, and the continent is quickly consolidating into competing states. 

Amelia, student and daughter of a humble [Hunter], just wants to learn [Fireball] and become a [Mage] in service to her [King].  She succeeds.  All is well as the months fly by, eagerly awaiting her Classing.  One day though, she receives a (unique) Trait: [Reincarnator].  And then, she dies. 

And so begin her many lives. 

***

Volume 1 (16 chapters) has been completed. 

Other tags: Serial Reincarnator, Experimental Storytelling

The "Experimental Storytelling" is that each chapter is a separate life.  That means things move very, very quickly and, regretfully, we often spend very little time with the people, places and things in each life.  Some might call it an anthology.

Alice is a girl who loves science and lives on Earth. Then, suddenly, she was punted into another dimension. A dimension where magic and monsters roam the land, swords and sorcery reign supreme, and, for some reason, a System keeps dinging at her and telling her that her stats and levels are increasing. As someone who loves exploring mysteries, Alice is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. After all, everything has to have a ‘cause,’ including the System, right?

What to expect: This story is going to be a LitRPG set in a fantasy world. However, unlike many LitRPG’s, the system has both a definite beginning and definite limits to what it is able to accomplish – rather than a singularly omnipotent, omniscient being that is tied to the laws of the world, the way systems are usually presented in LitRPG’s, the system is close to both, but has definite limits and rules which it operates by.

Waking up alone in a floating wreck, Alex is forced to rely on an artificial voice in her head while she scrambles to put the pieces together.

James was born on the wrong side of luck, his life being a constant barrage of painful losses or Pyrrhic victories. After taking a final, fatal, and ultimately futile stand against his demons, James was miraculously given a second chance at life in a world of magic and mystery. 

Finding a purpose in magic and a reason to live in his new life, James discovers the will to fight on, unaware of the darkness that calls to him.

***************

The synopsis is rather vague but I think it's better that way because instead of knowing what's coming I get to surprise you. 

The Mc isn’t a hero and he isn’t a villain, he’s just a man jaded towards people from bad experiences and trying to find a reason to keep going.  

Chapters are at least 1 a day, maybe 2 I don’t know yet. 

It's a mage story as well so expect that. 

I’ve tried to be as creative as possible with the story so I hope you enjoy it.

For millennia the demon lords known as the Goetia enslaved the human race, until a group of mortals known as the Archons received divine blessings of power and overthrew them. Under their dominion mankind flourished, though the war in the shadows never ended. A thousand years later, sixteen-year-old Leones' family is executed for the crime of heresy. Burned to death for questioning whether that the Archon of Flames is a divine being, and whether any of the Archons truly are. 

After manifesting the power to control time, Leones survives and embarks on an uncertain journey for power and revenge. But if he is to overcome a god, he may need some help. Along the way he will discover the truth behind the demon lords, time, and reality itself, as he walks along the razor path.

He never had a name. 

People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way.

"Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain.

His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself.

After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy.

This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting.  I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.

The humans call me Nemon Fargus.  They call me wizard, and [Elementalist] and [Enchanter].  They call me teacher.  They call me adventurer.  

But I don't care.  Not anymore.  For more than a hundred and fifty years I've served the Kingdom of Sena.  Through four Kings and a Queen.  Two wars and a rebellion.  I've founded and taught at a magic school.  I've fought against beast waves and dungeon breaks.

But now?  Now, the one close friend I had left has passed.  So, I'm done with their politics and their economics.  The short and busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf.  Now, I'm looking for a refuge, a place that can well and truly be my own.  Away from the growing cities and the bustling markets, away from the pointless wars, away from the eager students and the arrogant adventurers.  It's too much.  

I'm seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance my spellcraft.  We'll see if that happens.

Author's housekeeping:

This story is a rough draft.  Feel free to point out errors, grammatical, spelling, plot, etc.  

This is a slow burn novel, but will only ever be told from one POV.  

I will be attempting to do the Royal Writathon to get 55,555 words by May 5th.  

How well this story is received by readers here will determine if I continue writing after that date.  

I hope you enjoy!

Synopsis

Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien.

When the Source comes in his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't.

The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death.

Oh, there she is, coming in his aide, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't.

If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that...

Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!?

***

Blurb? Blurb.

The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense.

David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here.

So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here.

Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works.

David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him?

You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here.

Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope.

Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we?

***

You want even more info? Really? Alright...

David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable.

David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own.

There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because.

The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it.

There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right.

There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on.

There will be a godly system.

You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters.

The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them.

There will be no action without a reaction.

Lastly, there will be laughs.

Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride.

This web novel is also available on other platforms.

In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally?

Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey.

This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

After being left at the altar, ugly Harald Horste spends all his money and dignity to save a woman that he doesn't know loathes him.

Broken down, with few options, and on the cusp of rage, Harald inadvertently changes his fate with a single act of stupidity. Soon, he finds himself at the prestigious Ashmere Academy for the Ascended, out of his element and training for a dangerous life that he never might have chosen for himself. 

Note: This story is for the April national writing month contest. It has some light sexual content. It contains no Harem or Murder Hobo MC. 

On the first day, he almost died.

On the second day, he almost died.

On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost died.

Crushing loneliness? Danger around every corner? All of that has become part of his daily routine.

That's fine. He'll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He'll survive, and then he'll thrive.

Whether anyone wants him to or not.

“A cute Half-Wraith magic tutor who hugs my worries away and tells me I’m a genius, a loving auntie who beats the way of the assassin into me while guarding me from demons, and a sperm-less uncle who can’t have kids of his own because he gets beaten so bad by said auntie. I…was really messed up in my past life. But with so much help, I think I might be able to smile in this one.”

On Earth, I was a filthy-rich, depressed loner.

I single-handedly bankrupted six casinos using my ability to see the future. 

My girlfriend was just using me for my money.

I was just using her to appear normal.

I trusted no one.

Until that girl came.

After I saved her...for some reason, I was reincarnated as a baby in another world.

It seems I'm really good at magic here.

But seeing into the future is a lot tougher in this life.

And even if I can peek a few seconds ahead...

I can't help but ask,

"Why is everyone so freaking strong? I thought all girls were useless gold-diggers!"

But seriously, I think I've been saved by every girl I've met in this world.

My auntie hopes that I become a self-replenishing bank account...err powerful mage.

She's willing to do anything for me, even pay for my education with her retirement money!

Everyone here is so...selfless.

It's really challenging just to survive each day.

Life is way tougher than on Earth...but for some reason...I think I want to smile?

NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind!

When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe.

Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways.

He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive.

In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind.

And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself.

Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done).

The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else.  This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me.

Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system.

The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others.

My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time.

This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures.

I will not promise you will like every choice I make.

I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of.

As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol).

Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me.

Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Everything has happened before and every instrument sounds the same.
Grudges held for generations, with no sure source of blame.
From this world seed would the skies cast a dice in its favor.
But it does not learn, it does not change.
Who would dare approach the gates?

Ripped from the comfort of our world, David and Alice must face the demons of the past and enemies of their own making. To defy the heavens is to change the world, and nothing ever changes. Except when it does.

Xianxia, done in a different way.

Surviving a plane crash wasn’t easy, but surviving the apocalypse will be nearly impossible.

Nigel Fletcher finds himself stranded on a deserted island with nothing but his journal and the clothes on his back. Not only must he locate food, water, and shelter to survive, but Nigel will also have to combat wave after wave of savage monsters intent on ridding the world of humanity. Clearing these waves grows progressively harder as each week brings additional monsters, new mutations, and behind them all, a living terror with an insatiable appetite for human flesh.

To have even the slightest chance of surviving, Nigel will need to build up his island base to perfection with what limited resources he has available. Crafting weapons, taming beasts, erecting towers... It will take an enormous amount of grit and determination to transform this deserted island into one of humanity’s last bastions of hope.

Will it be enough?

GOT/ASOIAF OC/SI -- A ruthless businessman is reincarnated/transmigrated into Tommen at the start of Season 4... 

When humanity goes digital, can we escape our violent heritage?

Cassidy lost her parents when she was eight years old, but soon after her eighteenth birthday she discovers her parents might still be alive.

Sort of.

The digital world of Athanasia is the most advanced fantasy game ever created. A step beyond virtual reality, Athanasia is a new reality where players create Eternals, immortal digital clones that spend their entire lives within the game world.

When Cassidy learns her parents might have created their own Eternals before they died, she sets out to join the game to find them. As a new Eternal spellcaster named Seajee, she must learn to navigate this new reality full of magic and danger in order to track them down.

Unfortunately for Cassidy, someone is now trying to kill her in the real world to prevent her from finding her parents in Athanasia. While Cassidy fights for her life, her alter ego Seajee uncovers a nefarious plot to destroy the one protection the Eternals have.

Their immortality.

(Soon to be published with LevelUp! Until then, I'm allowed to post the first of three books as this one goes through the last round of editing, so I'll upload a new chapter every couple of days. I'd like to say it will stay up indefinitely, but I'll have to take it down when it goes live. By then, ya'll will get a headstart on Book 2! The amazing cover art was created by the extremely talented Wesley Souza.)

Quan's life on Earth is ripped from him for violating rules he didn't know existed.  Now he has been reborn in a strange and primitive world.   Now he struggles to make his way in this new world balancing the knowledge of his past with the ways and wisdom of cultivation.

This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures.

The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm.

This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl.

I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve.

This is a story about a regular guy who worked in a call center.  As you might expect, he hated his job.  Then he was dropped into a fantasy world right out of the games he grew up playing.

Unfortunately, playing a game and living the life of an action hero are completely different propositions -- even if the world plays by gaming rules.  Now stranded in the middle of no where with a class he does not understand, a menu system that's a little too loose, and no idea how any of it is supposed to work, follow our 'hero' as he stumbles his way to greatness.  Eventually.

Author's note:  The tags are there for a reason.  If you are uncomfortable with sex, cursing, or slow mental and physical transformation, then this story will not appeal to you.

Note:  While this is not my first attempt at creative fiction, it is the first time I've attempted to post anything for public consumption.  So be nice :)  I appreciate constructive criticism and I will answer non-spoilery questions as I see them.  This should be considered a rough draft for the time being.  As such, the story is subject to editing and other changes as I feel it necessary.

I am posting this mainly as a way to keep myself motivated.  If any of you like the story, do let me know!  It gives me a reason to keep going.

I do not own the cover picture.  I am only using it as a place holder for the time being.  If the original artist requests it, I will of course remove it.

Thank you!

ISEKAI TITLE - It seems I've been reincarnated as a heroine in another world. Yeah, how about no?

IMPORTANT NOTES - While the story is not allergic to wholesome moments, I would like you to understand that this is the story of a villain, not an anti-hero protagonist. Depression, psychopathy, dark themes, uncensored violence, horriffic suggestive themes; these are all a mainstay of the series. I would strongly advise anyone who wants to experience "Dr. Feelgood" to go look elsewhere.

Summary - Kamiyama Nori is many things; a bully, a delinquent, gamer and fanatic of all things martial. What she is not however, is anyone's 'hero', and she will do everything she can to rid herself of that title, even if it means the deaths of many, many other people. Her jaded, manipulative and opportunistic nature, combined with a 'noble', divine birthright is bound to quake the hearts of any whom would dare to stand in her way, good and evil alike.

Cover - not mine. Lappland fanart is good civilization, as well as a good referrence for the main character's physical appearance.

Miro was a slime.

Summoned under stressful circumstances and captured by the people hunting down its summoner, this slime has no idea what lies in store for it.

Perhaps food?

Most likely not.

The cover art should be coming in soon - until then, watercolor Slime Rancher.

Eugene has never really been a cool, strong guy. Most would say he's the opposite of that. One thing that does set him apart is that he has a portal to another world in his toilet. If only he could take a shit without having to fight for his life, though...

Join him in his quest to level up as he struggles to better himself, grow into the person he always wanted to be, and free his porcelain throne from the clutches of the otherworld.

Weak slowly MC becomes strong. Humor. LitRPG. Isekai.

This story is intended for an R18+ audience. Reader discretion is advised.

The Sword Saint, a man unparalleled in combat, embarks upon a quest that derails the entire world. He forges a bargain with a trio of ancient and evil hags to slay a dragon in exchange for the promise of immortality. The hags upheld their end of the bargain, but it came at a cost…

His name is now hated and cursed by all, spoken of only with contempt. That’s not mentioning his own, more personal blight. Transformed into a goblin, ill-fated to become the thing he most loathes. He has all of eternity to come to terms with his new form. 

It’s been centuries and he still can’t escape the vermin that he’s become.

The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on.

It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads?

That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

“Yes, Master. Your will is our command. We will initiate the world domination phase.”

“W-Wait— I didn’t mean it literally!”

The cover was made by Jack0fheart, so a shout out for him.  

A next-generation MMO, where levels don't come easy and there is no fast travel.  Ken finds himself trapped in the strange world while asleep in a coma.  Just when things can't get stranger, he is approached by the AI that controls the game who comes to make a bargain.  Ken must help beleaguered NPCs find ways to provide better side quests that players actually want to do.  If he fails, he could be exposed to the scientists behind the project that he is awake. Scientists who are eager to run some experiments on such an interesting case...

_________________________

While this story does have an MC that becomes a female avatar when he enters the game world, there is nothing sexual bout it.  For this reason, I have decided to ultimately not to use the Gender-Bender tag.  The reason this exists in my story is to highlight some of the stereotypes that occur for female characters in MMOs.

Michael is unwittingly selected to represent the people of Earth, as part of a test which will determine the fate of our world.

Murdered at 24, the depressed loner is reborn as Rihelah, a newly-hatched female mantis upon a strange world. Trees tower above her like skyscrapers, dragons reign as gods, and damn-near everything wants to eat her!

NOTE: The "Gender-Bend" portion of this story is a one-off occurence, and will only be minimally referenced after the first few chapters.

As attacks from the mysterious demon army escalate, the Jewel Empire waits patiently for its next hero to arrive. Little did they know that the hero they'd receive would be the last thing they expected, a homeless hybrid who couldn't care less about humanity. Ash, a half-demon whose very existence was a result of one of these attacks, is chosen to become the next Savior.

This story contains soft LitRPG elements (specifically, that means there is no HP and only important things get status effects) and features a GL ("girl's love" or yuri/lesbian) harem. 

This story will also be on Webnovel. 

Draven Hall, the leader of a small organized crime gang, finds himself at his wit's end. His business has been busted and it's only a matter of time before authorities find him. As a final enjoyment, he gets completely wasted and bumbles down the street in a drunken stupor. That is, until suddenly, his world fades to black.

As he wakes up, he finds himself in a different world... And somehow, he now lives as the shadow of a girl in a world entirely unfamiliar to him!

Evel was just a farmer boy in a remote village. Where other boys left to go on adventures, he stayed with what remained of his family, toiling away at the field his father had left him with.

One day, as he explored the woods, he was attacked by a wild goblin. Afraid and weak, he could only cower when a knight came to his rescue, saving him from his untimely death. 

Then, as he stared at the corpse of the goblin, he had an idea, and buried the goblin into the soil before planting some seeds over it. He thought the goblin would act as a good fertilizer! At least, according to that old book he read.

To be fair, it was. But how was he supposed to realise that it would bear so much more?

A slice-of-life story of a fantasy farmer boy growing towards the future, and all that happens along the way.

-Updates roughly twice a week. New chapters every Tuesdays and Fridays-

After months being chased away by the church backed States and its Papal Armies, Soleir found himself between a rock and a hard place.

Having been cornered by a massive army from the combined effort. There was no way out for him. Or so they thought.
The genius necromancer had one last card up his sleeve. The most advanced Death Magic ever created by men. However...

How could his magic have failed? All the years of careful planning leading up to this moment… The magic supposed to make him immortal...

At least he now still has another chance. And this time, no man or god will be left standing on his path. Giving up his pride and masculinity, he goes by a new name:

Necronomia Vladya Drakul - The princess of Wallakia.

Winner of Scribbly Anniversary V2.
This novel was Exclusive to SH until April 2nd, 2021.

Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. 

Despite his best efforts to avoid adventuring, adventure seems determined to find him. The big problems of his past keep being eclipsed by the problems of his present. 

This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that.

This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. 

New entries on Mondays and Fridays.

Twins, Aiden and Olivia, started the day like any other, but strange things began to happen on their way to school.

Once they arrived, their not-so-ordinary day took a turn for the worse. Instead of exams, they're forced to struggle through a world of horror and game mechanics, trying their hardest to survive against all odds. 

Disclaimer: Keep in mind this is a first draft! Developmental editing for the book will be underway at the end of this month.

Aurora Nightshade spent her whole life living as a countryside bumpkin, living just to get by. Despite the hardships brought onto her by the Song clan, the tyrannical people that levy insufferable taxes onto her and the villagers, she was content enough with life.

This all changed one day, when an amulet fell from the sky like a meteor, a werewolf became her companion and the world of magic opened up to her. The world of spirits and gods revealed to her that fateful night.

If you are into Wuxia and Cultivation themes, then don't miss this novel. It touches on some interesting mythology as well, and a lot of magic based on Epic Fantasy.

A book that any WMW fan should read!

What is a woman to do after reincarnating? Her cultivation crippled, the realm she inhabited foreign, and even her old name lost to her. There was one familiar comfort left to Daphne in these trying times: shopping.

There were some fates worse than dying Daphne supposed. She could have been poor.

This is a comedic take on the adventures of a xianxia cold beauty.

Adam had been a fairly average guy who had lived a fairly average life. Now he is dead and speaking to a god.

Join Adam as he navigates a new world with his powers, a world filled with magic, beasts, intrigue, adventure and so much more in this brand new and totally never seen before LitRPG.

It was a busted date. Not my first.

Then the world ended.

Quite the leap, I know.

Thing is, I wasn’t that into her, and what happened after was way, way, cooler.

In the end.

At first, it was horrifying…

This story has swearing, sex, gore, and violence. It has statistics and a mild amount of cultivation. It’s written in UK English, so has a whole bunch of Us where they’re not supposed to be. It has the odd S where you’d expect to find a Z. Don’t stress about it. Relax. Take a breath. You can power through.

Updates every other day.

Jack of All updates every Monday and Friday. All chapter, locked and unlocked can be found on the main website.
Meet the protagonist of this LitRPG saga.

This is the story of a young man, who finds himself in a new world, learning new things.

Oh, but he doesn't remember anything prior to waking up in it.
He's not sure about his name, either.
He is sure that this whole Classes and Levels thing is neat.

Follow him on this wild ride of an adventure.
Sure, he won't know what he's doing half the time, but that's the beauty of it.
