He never knew what he wanted to become, and winds of time swept him away. Now he is given another chance brought about by who knows what, so ... what will he do now with his fresh start? What will he do when he starts Again from Scratch?

The world has been assimilated by the Celestial Archives, a vast system designed to fight the forces that seek to destroy the universe. For most, it's a holy cause that rewards victory with stats, levels, and skills. For Hunter Gold, it's the start of a nightmare. Even in a system dominated by paths, he finds himself taking the road less traveled. 

This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. 

This is kind of something fun I wanted to write after reading stories like The New World, System Apocalypse, and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I don't know how serious I will be about this story, but I just want to try it out. I imagine that it will become a love child between Fable, Diablo, and Devil May Cry. Enjoy!

Humanity is extinct.

In their wake, they left behind powerful artifacts and wonderous relics, most of which are still yet to be discovered.

Alien life flourishes in the ruins of ancient human cities. Hundreds of distinct species and cultures. But they all worship the "Old Ones" as gods, for who else could have created these impossible devices: ships that can fly, droids that can think, and gates that form bridges between worlds.

One power-hungry Empire has learned to use these gifts to conquer and dominate all other alien cultures. With each passing day, they grind the people of Gaiam deeper under the bootheel of oppression.

But when an old, jaded thief stumbles upon an ancient, living secret... a new revolution may be at hand.

This is the story of The Last Human.

Andrew suddenly finds himself alone in world that is not his own. The creatures are hostile and unfamiliar, the land around him unrecognizable. He will have to work hard to explore the wilderness he has found himself in, to unravel the ancient magics of this world, and to create a safe place for the others lost in a foreign world like himself.

When not THE Apocalypse strikes, but all of them together, where will you be? What will you do?
As Humanity faces it´s hardest time a playful god shows mercy(?)
Follow Seth on his journey to somehow survive in whatever has become of his world.

Rowan is a street-rat who just wants to live a normal life. All he yearns for is a roof over his head, a second set of clothes, and maybe the occasional apple pie. Unfortunately, life has other plans for him. Forced to flee the city with only the rags on his back and the knife between his ribs, Rowan sets off into a world that wants him dead.

A horrific attack on a crowd ends with tens of thousands dead before Loren Parker abruptly wakes up in his bed, miraculously unharmed, two days before the explosion. Setalite City is on the brink of destruction, famous heroes and infamous villains are being systematically killed worldwide, and an unknown puppet master is pulling the strings. Lucky for him, Loren has all the time in the world to set things straight.

Rin Asahiro, a twenty-year-old sex worker, decides to turn her life around and become an adventurer.

Only, she has a vague idea of what the actual occupation of being an adventurer entails. In an effort to lead a life she could be proud of, Rin will learn exactly what encompasses the dichotomy of adventuring:

Glory and devastation, all while she tries to maneuver around obstacles in a strange world.

A slow-burn high fantasy story about a young peasant trying to make it as an adventurer.

On the 15th of March 2139, the world mourns the passing of Darius Stone, billionaire broker, and philanthropist. 
Yet while his family and friends put his body to rest, Darius wakes up to find himself reborn into a younger body in a different world.
A strange voice informs him that his soul has been transported into the magic-filled world of Faust on the behest of a mysterious Goddess called Vena, for the sole purpose of entertaining her through his struggles.
In this world where any dream can be achieved with enough effort, he sets out to become a Supreme, an existence above Mortals and even Gods!

—————————————————
Warning: This novel features a villainous protagonist. If you have enjoyed Warlock of the Magus World, then you should be able to tolerate Darius Stone’s actions and choices throughout the novel. 
Note: This story is slow-paced in order to allow for better world-building and development. If you’re looking for a fast-paced action story, this might not be for you.

Humanity has been introduced to the galaxy, and as such, so has their weapons. This story is narrated by an alien by the name of Ozis as they are assigned to view and catalog these weapons. The wonders of human kinetics and explosives will be revealed to Ozis as they watch various demonstrations, some intentional, some otherwise.

It had been a long day, and Julia had just been trying to get home.

The Abyss wasn't a stop off she had planned to include.

Some folks get summoned, some get reincarnated, others get lost in computer games.

But that's all just stories, games, and even so, she didn't ever expect to get Cursed.

She's doesn't see herself a hero, that's for the crazy folks she knows.

Julia wanted a career, her own family, a sense of accomplishment and control in her life.

She wasn't expecting to have to add keeping her Soul intact.

What will her new path cost her? Will she even recognise herself at the other end?

The Darkness of the Abyss is a place where a single misstep can cost an eternity. 

For in darkness, secrets lurk, and some aren't there for the taking.

They are there to take.

Hirrus Callabryn is cursed. Afflicted. Infected.

He’s also aware. For once.

After a player-led event turns his once peaceful town into a band of ravenous monsters, Hirrus obtains a sentience usually unobtainable by non-player characters. It might be a gift of the gods, or a mistake, but Hirrus doesn’t care. It means he can track down and find the players responsible and stop them from doing it again.

Thing is, players don’t like their plans being interrupted. And in this game, there’s no resurrection until the weekly reset. Will Hirrus be able to cut a path of destruction across the land to get his revenge, or will the players be able to overwhelm him and bring him to justice?

Time swallows everything.

When monsters disappeared from the world Jamaya, the average level of people dropped until it reached zero. The knowledge of levels was eventually forgotten, but the stats remained, shackling the people and their strengths. The classes disappeared and Professional jobs became harder to acquire. Artifacts became trash and materials lost their value. Empires fell and hard times befell the people, but they continued striving forward

Eventually, hope was found in the form of skills that could be acquired by strengthening the physical, and the mental attributes to a certain threshold. Jobs became acquirable again, but not all was well. The shackles were still there, hard capping the strength one could achieve.

Naturally, jobs associated with physical attributes mainly, blacksmithing, tailoring, hunting, and soldering grew in popularity, while those associated with the mental attributes lost value.

Born in this kind of discriminating environment, Mannat, who had exceptional mental attributes compared to even adults, found living tough. boys his age called him a little freak, while the adults whispered behind his back. his parents loved him unconditionally, but he knew they feared for his wellbeing.

However, oblivious to everyone, the illusion of peace everyone took lightly had already been shattered by a force in the shadows. Now it was only a matter of time before the need for those like the green-eyed boy, the heir of mana, would arise again. 

But would the boy help them?

The world is not always as beautiful and forgiving as one would imagine. The young girl finds herself face to face with this cruel reality when she is summoned into the hands of a madman. After months of terror in a dark cellar, she finds her freedom again. However, her body is irrevocably altered, and her mind is broken. Can she find her place in a world unknown to her? Will she be able to return her body to its original form? Or will she learn to live with it? Can she even live with what she experienced in the cellar? Follow Korra as she struggles to find her own place in the new world.

They called him Sven the Shatterfist. 
One of a handful of still-living adventurers to reach the top rank in the guild. The S-Rank.
But for Sven, after returning from abroad, life isn't what it used to be and adventuring isn't much better.
It's kind of a drag.
The obvious next step? Retire and drink with magic girls.

Secrets once thought lost are coming to light...

Orin, a young thief turned mercenary, is returning to his home for the first time in four years. Orin wants nothing more than to reconnect with his family and settle down in the city he loves, but fate is fickle and has another destiny in mind for the swordsman.

Now bound to the Princess of the Realm in ways he doesn't fully understand, Orin finds himself thrust into the world of Nobility, where no one can be truly trusted and his friends are few and far between.

To ensure his survival, and that of the entire Kingdom, Orin must learn to harness the power of a Knight and work with the Princess Elora to protect those they both love, all while dealing with psychotic Knights, a mad King and Elora's own protectors.

Well, if nothing else, I'm sure it will be an adventure.

This is one of the ideas I've been working on for a while and wanted to see how far I can go with it.

There's nothing really original here, just something fun I wanted to explore a bit more.

Chapters will be posted twice a week on Mondays and Fridays at five pm GMT and will be at least six thousand words long.

Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy Knight and Smith!

In an ancient world of death and blood, a child born to be great is crippled before she can even crawl.  She spends the next seven years of her life treated as trash by most of her family, clan and city until a series of unlikely events grants her an opportunity to be more. 

Join our young MC, Fenghuang Yu (Jade Phoenix), as she struggles to move beyond her past and reaches for a greater future despite the odds.  She is forced into brutal combat, political intrigue, sinister plots and painful tribulations as she attempts to show everyone  she can be more than she was.  

This is a coming of age wuxia cultivation story with light LitRPG elements including some tables and very limited system messages.  While this book contains only limited swearing, there are detailed fight scenes, blood with some gore, and quite a bit of violence both human on human and human on creature.  There is no material sexual content.

The average chapter is approximately 1,750-2,750 words so I am only releasing 3 per week - Mon, Wed, Fri.  Much less often than my other story, sorry.  This story is published on Royal Road ONLY.  If you are reading it elsewhere it is being unlawfully published and could you please let me know.  Thank you.

NOTE: THIS BOOK IS BROKEN DOWN INTO 12 VOLUMES.  THEY ARE NOT INDIVIDUAL BOOKS, JUST GROUPS OF CHAPTERS WITH SIMILAR TOPICS COMBINED.  IT IS TO MAKE UNDERSTANDING PLACE IN STORY AND GOING BACK TO FIND OLD INFO EASIER.

Jack just crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated...

After losing his parents in a car accident, Ryan immediately caught his fiancee cheating on him with his best friend. In just a few days, he lost everything he loved, so Ryan decided to buy a house in the mountains to process all those events. However, something happened before he could even enter his new home: the end of the world.

Monsters began to appear out of nowhere, and dragons began to dominate the skies. After losing everything, Ryan, who had lost his sense of reality, found new goals with the world in that state: survive and get stronger. Dungeons, classes, monsters, skills, the chance to obtain the DNA of other monsters... Ryan was decided to use them all because he no longer would become a spectator in his own life. Maybe with power, he won't lose anything anymore.

The world changed forever when supers emerged. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime flew through the skies for the first time, and scholars still debate the origin of power.

Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the Hero League's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years waiting to awaken a metagene, but it hasn't happened yet. The cut-off age is rapidly approaching, and he's losing hope. The last thing Daniel wants is to become another statistic.

Meanwhile, the league is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. If that weren't bad enough, something deep inside Daniel has awoken, it demands he step up, do good and protect the people he loves. He doesn't know the source of the compulsion, but it's getting stronger by the day and he's desperate to feed it.

Daniel dreams to join the league. It needs all the assistance it can get, and only they can help satiate his hunger.

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

Disclaimer:
The story contains body-horror elements due to how the protagonist's power manifests.
The GameLit/Progression elements are gradual, and there are no stats in this story. The protagonist will enjoy occasional power upgrades as opposed to rapid growth like in other RR stories.
The story doesn't have any intended tragic elements but its a harsh reality and will sometimes edge towards the darker end of the spectrum.

After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving.

Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local Mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve.

Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.

[Rewrite of This Story: Of Dragons and Gods: A DnD Inspired Reincarnation Story]

Dying from a gunshot wound, Samuel Tazuth finds himself before a mysterious goddess. She claims he has saved her life on Earth, and as a reward, she offers to reincarnate him as a baby on Arcadia, a fantasy planet filled with monsters and magic. He agrees, but what he doesn’t realize is that the goddess’ intentions run far deeper than mere gratitude. She has sent him to Arcadia for her own agenda, and what Samuel will soon discover is that the power which lies dormant inside himself will draw the entire planet to war, creating a conflict that will awaken the very gods themselves.

This is a work in progress, subject to edits, possibly major, though hopefully not. Any feedback regarding plot, characterization and continuity is greatly appreciated!

Will include an OP MC, power levels, spell casting, magic academy, adventuring, dungeons, fighting monsters, romance. Suggestions welcome.

Tagged with sexual content for the sporadic sexual scenes. Will be vanilla but graphic.

Note:  I combine the core games, side games, manga, anime, TCG, and every other media to make the most realistic and complete image of the Pokemon world I can, which is my main goal, and might be overwhelming to some people.

Rhea has lived in a tiny village of Master-tier Trainers on the west side of Pallet Bay; she's turned seventeen this year, which means she can start her Bronze-tier Pokémon journey, and she's been selected to receive the Oak Starter Award.

However, this year's United Inigo Conference marks the first in an International Bronze League, and Kanto has been selected to pilot this multiregional initiative with a few new features.

If this is successful, then the international effort might become a staple for the following Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Master Leagues across all regions.

Every region's Master-tier Trainers selected three candidates to receive the Oak Starter Award, combining to equal 24 participants, thrust into the limelight.  The Masters said to keep an eye on these Bronze-tier Trainers this League; they'll need to rise to the expectations placed on them.

On the plus side, Rhea's mother has a different plan than picking the Professors' collected Starters.

Portals have opened throughout the world, their depths containing untold wonders. There are those who plumb the Deeps searching for treasure, Skills, or even Spells. These people are Delvers, the elite of Earth who come from the most common origins to the highest echlons of power. The world is witnessing the rise of those who are more than human, their actions, words, and deeds becomming legends that will be passed down through the Ages.

Unfortunately, Eve Smith missed out on all that fun since she was transported away from Earth right as the portals opened.

In the war ravaged Sengoku Era, a masked woman stumbles across a nameless child with an abhorrent power. But where others would have seen a threat that required immediate elimination, she saw a potential that only she could take advantage of...

And thus, Dirge was stripped of her identity and molded into a living weapon for war. A cold-blooded, emotionless assassin that never asked questions, or thought twice about her orders. She became the perfect Shinobi...

A/N: This is a Dark LitRPG inspired by videogames such as Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Nioh. This story will contain fantasy elements mixed with historical, along with heavy body horror, violence, traumatic scenes, and tragedy. 

The World's Number 1 Most Wanted Thief, the Black Cobra, an Egyptian youth specialized in ancient artifacts, was killed in an explosion he set up after being chased into a dead end in New York. Around his middle finger which he pointed at the face of every chaser from every world superpower, he carried the most prized item in the world, the Ring of Horus.
When he kicked off life with a Bang! He returned with a lot of barf and vomit as poison was being cleansed of his body and a series of messages kept popping up. Long story short, he reincarnated into the body of Leon, an antagonist from a game he used to play and supposedly one who should already be dead. However, the Hunt for his Life never ended and he became the most wanted after reincarnation overnight. And there is System and Magic and Harem and Overpowered Oversmart Overcharismatic Hero who believes in gender equality and human's right to stay silent when he stabs them… good stuff, turly!

(Author Note: The story tries to avoid the cliches and focuses on crime and politics. Not sure about titles with the same quality as this one but I take elements from the usual isekai and mash them with the Korean style characters and attention to details while avoiding the Chinese repetitive plots and the Japanese beta male leads. This is an Egyptian MC whom you have never seen any like before. He kisses babies and slaps bitches… or kisses bitches and slaps babies… depending on which day of the week it is. He's a mean guy and he knows kung fu. One time an author tried to write him in a novel, the novel almost absorbed the author and he went into a torturous isekai. What more can I say? Read it already!)

Abi is a Dungeon Core that's down on her luck.

Previously a human and with no memories of how or why she ended up this way, Abi awakens to find herself not as the woman she remembers but now as a gorgeous jade diamond in a small dark corner of existence. 

Forced to endure her new life, with no other alternative, follow Abi on her growth and expansion as she powers up her new home with the help of Me.

Will she be ready to take on adventurers willing to test their might or any monsters that may enter her? 

Will Abi be victorious, potentially earning the chance at her new life, or will she succumb to defeat and eventually be destroyed? 

Can she uncover the mystery of why she became a Dungeon Core in the first place? 

With little options to begin with, only time will tell and this dungeon opens in 24 hours, Abi had better get a move on if she wants to survive.

Note:

Currently releasing 2 chapters per week early morning on a Monday and Friday GMT.

Ratings or comments on how the story is progressing will be gratefully appreciated. 

Please let me know if you find any inconsistencies and constructive criticism is also welcomed to help make the story better for everyone. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my work, it means more than you know. 

The moment the dying Aki opens his eyes, he is shocked. Not his hospice room but green meadows, blue sky and the villages of his favorite MMO await him.

A fever dream? Or a new lease of life?
To Aki it’s a chance to correct the story line he once hated and save his beloved sword maiden.

But his brazen steps soon halt when the impending war covers the land in flames.
Thrown into unknown conflicts, he has to use his game knowledge to protect his new home from a sheer unending horde of enemies.

Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist.

Alexandra Rousseau, an engineer from the European Federation Navy with a dark past, is killed during an accident involving a smuggler, where her body, and part of the station she is standing on, is precipitated into hyperspace. She wakes up in a world of fantasy, with magic, dwarves, elves, enchanted weapons and people capable of superhuman feats. However, she quickly learns that there is something very wrong with this planet, and that forces harnessing the power of a civilization long gone are finally ready to put into motion plans millenias in the making.

Unfortunately, she becomes a casualty of one of these plans, and her short life as an adventurer is ended by her mysterious enemies. She reawakens as a dungeon core. Her enemies have just made the greatest mistake of their life. They have given an engineer of Earth the power to bring back the technology long since thought lost on this planet. And as she does, leviathans of a war that ended an interstellar empire stirr...

Note : I originally intended to write a dungeon core novel, with a bit more substantial introduction that most. It...went out of hand, as you can probably tell by the 21k word prologue. So, at this point I'm not really sure if it qualifies as a Dungeon story or an Adventure one. Keep in mind, this is my first published story, so there will be errors, feel free to point them out to me.

As for the schedule, I will post a new chapter the 16th and 30th of every month (28th for february). If I accumulate a backlog, I will post the extra chapters in between these slots, resulting in more or less weekly chapters, even if only for a limited time.

Jack, upon returning home from a short day of stress free work, had his front door explode on him, causing him to die on the spot.
Waking up, he finds himself in a white space where he spends uncountable years driven to the edge of madness before reaching enlightenment.
However, his consciousness is fought over by some indefinitely strong beings, resulting in him being thrown into the void to be torn to shreds by his own velocity.
However, an even stronger being finds him and rebuilds him before placing him in a new world, as a System?

An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere and has to come to terms with a significant loss of memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial.

Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style LitRPG novel. It is a slow burn that takes some time to get going, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. This is my first attempt at writing gamelit/litrpg and well, only my second attempt at writing in general, but I have thirty years of experience with various rpg's, wargames, boardgames, and too many mmo's to count and hope to leverage that knowledge and experience to create a work of fiction you may enjoy following. Thanks!

p.s. Just went through and removed the excessive bold formatting of speech/dialogue throughout all the chapters. I am sorry. I thought that was neat; a good idea. I was terribly wrong. Someone should have stopped me, lol.

This is the story of a woman named Riza.

Riza wakes up in a forest all alone, no idea how she got there, naked, and with a knife stuck in her side.

After a brief tangle with a boar, she levels up and gains a skill that can heal her wounds.

Little does she know that this branch of magic is not only outlawed across the land but is considered a dead-end one as well.

Not that any of that matters to her; she can't even understand the language in the first place.

Riza is not some chosen one nor is she given any special gifts undeservedly. Instead, she's mathematically, scientifically minded and approaches things from a rigorous perspective.

Although numbers play a large part, she doesn't just grow numerically; she uses ingenuity and knowledge to better deal with her struggles and grow stronger.

I have ADHD so there's bound to be maths mistakes that I miss. If you see one, please leave a comment so I can correct it.

This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters, changing details, adding things in, altering the numbers, etc.

The pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all Dream ever wanted. As he grew up though, his naivety vanished and he found that the world was nothing more than a prison that would allow neither of those things. However, after giving himself up to the endless abyss expecting to disappear, he found himself awoken in a new world! 

Magic, skills, science, technology, and the secrets of the universe within his reach.

Dream found everything he ever needed and wanted, and alongside a twin pair of magical fox princesses, he would go on to unintentionally dominate the lands with his unprecedented ability to fuse the world of the arcane with the world of science.

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.

 Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 4 chapters/week (Tue-Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. 

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.

P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon.    :D

It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul

The world's strongest Hunter, Death God Hei, was the first to hit Lvl. 100. However, when he broke the System limit, he mysteriously turned into a zombie. Hei was forced to watch himself attack and consume the party he had fought alongside since the beginning of the apocalypse.

After being killed, Hei woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. It seems dying only brings him back to a save point now. Sick, right? There’s just one problem. The clock doesn’t reset until he dies twice. Once as a human, and once as a zombie. And when Hei dies, he’s still there. Still watching as someone…something else takes over his cold body and hunts down those he hoped to protect. Every time he levels up...he only makes his zombie stronger.

Thus begins the first save of the world's greatest fallen angel and worst undead evil.

Vol.1 First Save: Re:Live Breath Die
Hei does his best to protect the beautiful girl who saves him from the abyss, without leveling. Until a Secret Dungeon opens, trapping him and his girlfriend inside along with 1,500,000 Hunters. What's the problem? It's a one of a kind Secret Dungeon filled with rare skills and items right? Well, according to the memories of his past life...everyone in this Secret Dungeon died.

“This time I won't obey the System. I'll take a different path!”

Gore/Sexual Content/Traumatic Content: There is no rape(though such things may occur in universe, it will not happen to the main cast). By the nature of this story, the MC will need to hunt a lot of monsters, kill a lot of people, and die a lot. I do my best to avoid excessively graphic descriptions, but the things which make this story interesting can also be upsetting to some readers. Try the 1st chapter. It'll give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently (Thurs/Sund) for free anyways.

A LitRPG Post Apocalyptic Novel.  

This is my first novel submitted to for the public reading. I would appreciate any feedback that you can provide. It has had no professional editing and I know that it will require it. I currently have paid a lot of money to get the novel edited. After which I will publish on Amazon Kindle and then republish on Royal Road after the exclusive period. If a well edited book matters to you Do not Read this..   

Despite the editing / grammar and spelling mistakes that I have tried to remove and failed the novel has plot, character development, and a fun action-packed story line with a significant amount of intrigue. Thanks in advance for any feedback you want to provide it has been appreciated and is why I will continue to publish and support the platform.   

Synopsis

Adrian is on the last day of a work trip setting up a solar plant when somewhere on earth, a scientist creates a particle that catalyzes all the matter on earth to create new fundamental rules of physics.  Technology as we know it will no longer work and the energy of the conversion has mutated earth animals and generated new monsters.   This is an extinction level event for sentient life.

All is not lost as almost every intelligent race falls into the trap and over billions of years, millions of intelligence species have gone into the grinder.  A tiny percentage survived and introduced tools to help future races avoid extinction.  Because of them, Adrian receives an interface to help him. It is a cheat to process the new reality, a cheat to give knowledge and the computing power to use the magic enabled by the new rules of physics.  

He emerges in the world stuck thousands of miles from his family in a small country town.  People around him die, and he uses his new skill to grow stronger and make his way to a nearby town to meet up with friends.  

The town is on tenterhooks. It is plagued by a giant Bird that if it spots you, it will eat you.   Dozens have already fallen and unless someone deals with the Bird, the town will fall apart. Part of Adrian wants to flee immediately to find and protect his family. The decision is harder than it should be because the interface he received differs from what others got.  They are all supposed to be non-sentient.  Adrian is pretty sure that his one is sentient and when he asks about the Bird, it gives a plan.   The plan may give him an edge, or it may just turn him into Bird food. Something has to be done about the Bird and as scary as it is, he cannot just abandon the town to its fate.

Thank you for checking out my light novel. I am a hobbiest writer still learning, I would appreciate any correction people can make and constructive critism. Hope you enjoy the story

Personally made the cover art, photo editing.

               Thanks to the help of a cursed power, Ethan, a young hero, managed to defeat the demon king and his army singlehandedly. However, all that power came with a price, and the price was him stealing the memories of those he touched. Unfortunately, not even after finally returning home, that power left him.

                A few decades after the start of the new millennium, people all over the world begun to disappear from Earth only to reappear after days, weeks, and sometimes even years after. At first, those people stayed silent as to where they had been, but after a while, weird information began to spread, these people had gone to other worlds… as heroes.

                No one took that information seriously. However, when one of those who disappeared returned, bringing a horde of monsters with them, some people began to think that perhaps not everything was nonsense. After a while, the information began to receive more credit when a small country in South America got decimated by the horde of monsters. The same thing happened in Europe and Asia. After a while, it was learned that that happened because the heroes failed to save the other worlds and no even Earth had to pay the price for it.

                Many countries decided to do what they could to identify and train those people to avoid future disasters. So, in order to train the future heroes of other worlds, many countries created their own summoned heroes’ school. This isn't the story of the first hero, but the one who had the power to steal experience from others... the exp stealer.

"Let me check real quick if I got what you said... Not only I'll be stuck forever in a cave because I'll become immortal, I won't have any contact with humans and if someone hits me hard enough I die for good? Are you mental?"
"Nah, that's pretty much it, good luck. See you again when you die."
"You fucking assh-.."

Yelp. Now I'm stuck in this dungeon forever, what the heck is there to do here?

----------------------
MC is an anti-hero, yes he is an a-hole, yes this novel is rushed. Yes I know the pacing is crap, that's the idea. Lot's of chaps, lots of words, slow plot and a lot of weird stuff since mc is a dungeon-core and master. Making ppl suffer = more power.
This novel will be a harem with multiple FMCs but with slow additions.

Magic cannot be given away or rejected; it is as permanent as life itself. Not that I'd know anything about that. Magic is both impossible to obtain and illegal for commoners like me.

So when I unexpectedly witnessed a brutal, deadly confrontation between two nobles, I assumed that was the closest to magic I'd ever get. Until I woke up the next morning with the unmistakable glow of power in my blood.

Unprepared to navigate the nobility's endless maze of deception, strained alliances, and boring parties, my only hope is to hide who I am and somehow discover the truth of what happened that bloody night.

HEY, WHERE IS MY CHEAT SYSTEM???
WHY AM I SOME NAMELESS MOB????

Can I at least have a Sharingan.......please?

While on Earth, the Church secretly battles over the planet's destiny with multiple other factions; Gabriel was just delivering pizzas when he ended up in a battle among creatures that defied logic.

Sure, he thought, who doesn't love pizza? But do angels, demons, and big ass wolves eat pizza as well?

Gabriel was paid for his delivery, but the payment he got wasn't exactly what he hoped for, because for all his efforts, the man was rewarded with a lizard... and a world expecting a little too much from him than he was comfortable with.

Gabe will find himself in a different world, a world from which all Earth's current problems stem and a world to which he has more ties than he was ever told.

Will Gabriel and his lizard survive in a world so hell-bent on getting them to follow its rules, or will they die defying them? Follow their adventures on Alter, where elves, dwarves, orcs, and many more races share their existence with those of Spirits. Whether they like it or not.

Chapter release is 1 chapter a day, from Monday to Friday.

Release time 09:00 PM UTC

This series is being posted on Scribblehub as well.

ATTENTION, This story starts slowly. If you are not in for a low ramp-up in tensions and want all of the secrets of the world right away, this story is not for you.

With this story, I wanted to write something that felt at least probable, not the usual: man appears in a new world, everyone helps him, and he's fit and ready for the job!

Gabriel will need time to adapt to his new reality, as you'll definitely notice in the first chapters. However, when the action hits, it hits hard. 

Something to know about me? I'm Italian. Thus, English is not my main language. If you find errors, please point them out before berating me. It would help me greatly.

What else? Oh, right.

I love foreshadowing and Chekhov's guns (it should be clear by my avatar, I'm a One Piece lover, so I've learned from the best); you'll find a lot of those in my novels. So keep your notes to check for them, and don't forget to eat as much pizza as you can while you do!

The goddess of dungeons, Zealla, steals a couple hundred souls, to make into dungeon cores on other planets.

This is the story of one such person, who was soul napped, and made into a dungeon core on a completely different planet than Earth.

Uploading schedule changed to Wednesdays and Sundays! 15-year old Ziyan needs to get the hell into heaven. A yaoguai devoured her fellow villagers and cursed their souls. She can reincarnate them only if she's a goddess. But the snooty gods, with their coveted powers, don't allow just anyone to join them.
 
To save her people Ziyan enters the Baishi Competition, where she and a sky-full of cutthroat mortals must contend for the few slots of godhood.
 
But victory won't come easy. First, she needs to convince (seduce) the warrior god Huayu into training her. Then she needs to rack up the kills by hunting yaoguai to prove her worth. Winning would grant Ziyan the reincarnating abilities of a goddess. If she fails, her villagers will fry in hell's oil vats forever. 
 
Ziyan is determined to succeed, until she learns yaoguai are just pawns doing the gods' dirty work. Faced with the true killers of her people (and armed with badass fighting skills), Ziyan asks herself, does she want to save only her villagers or can she overthrow this pantheon of assholes and rescue all those living under the yokes of gods? 
 
The thing is, when it's your destiny, it's your destiny.

In a land ruled by vile monsters, where death is common and life is cruel, one outcast endeavors to have it all. While there are many misconceptions related to goblins, such as their horrid looks or lack of intelligence, their small stature isn't one. But, that doesn't stop Stryg from aspiring to his belief of greatness: power, destiny, and food with salt.

When fate drags Stryg from his forest home and into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade he must learn that some monsters live everywhere.

One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which has been raided and set ablaze by bandits. Within the burning rubble, a young woman found a baby, a sole survivor of the attack, and decided to take it with her and raise as her own. As she was leaving with the little child in her hands, two falling stars lit up the night sky, and she named the boy Asterios.

Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution.

Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?!

Release schedule: Can't guarantee a stable schedule, my other novel still takes priority and I'm currently on last year of my Master's, but at least once or twice a week.

What to expect:
A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a nice harem of lovely Monster Girls! And maybe, some occasional lewds from time to time when it fits the moment. It's a light story and not some deep masterpiece.

Satan's Axe...Lord of High Honor...The Immortal Giant...The Black Maelstrom...Son of Thunderfield...The Gods' Retribution. 

Dalric had many names. None were as fitting as his last, Dalric the Deathseeker. Born from an unwanted mating between the greatest warriors of the time, death was his only true kin. It birthed him, molded him, and now standing in the middle of a lifeless battlefield, it drenched him. The blood of thousands of soldiers soaked his skin. Two hundred thousand men approached him that day. All of them sought his life, none of them left with theirs. But they would not die in vain, they had accomplished their mission. Hidden beneath a thousand layers of their blood, was Dalric's very own. 

Feeling his life fade, he gazed weakly at his work. A seemingly endless array of corpses laid battered and disfigured before him. Some bore faces of horror, most had no face at all. 

His most trusted companion floated in front of him, blocking the view. Waves of sorrow flowed between them. 

“My time has finally come. I’ve begged for death and it’s finally arrived. My work is done...and so is yours. You’re free to be who you were meant to.”

With his contract with the gods fulfilled, they were truly free. The centuries of torment would end. No longer would they have to walk the path of a monster.  

Little did Dalric know, the devil was in the details.

What To Expect: A good time. In a few more words than that, a cast of believable characters in a unique world dealing with conflicts and problems a little bit more complex than punching the big evil guy in the face. Just a little though.

Minimum Word Count a Week: 5000

Release Time(s): Between Friday 12pm EST and Monday 6am EST
