Azolo was the greatest wizard who ever lived. They called him the God of Magic reborn. He called that nonsense.

When he died, he expected paradise. Instead, his own god tore out his soul, stole his name, and claimed the title of the one true God of Magic.

Now, Azolo’s been given a second chance, by the one god everyone else ignores. The God of Strength. The God of Iron. The patron of sweat, scars, and stubborn souls.

Reborn in a body with no mana and no hope, Azolo must rebuild everything he once was, one aching muscle at a time.

The world calls it heresy. He calls it payback.

He once built miracles with his mind. Now, he’ll use his fist to break them.

Because if mind over matter failed him in his first life… then this time, might makes right.

In the world of Galae, where the gods are dead or have abandoned their creations, the Gilded Era is over and the balance of power is as unstable as the land itself. In this tumultuous world, Aster discovers that he is more than just an unremarkable young man in a small village when he becomes one of the Attuned: individuals with extraordinary abilities and near limitless paths of progression. Before he can grasp the true meaning or power of his attunement, the invasion of his secluded hometown of Karipos launches him and his sister Phaea into a journey to find their true paths.

Armed with resilience and instinct, Aster navigates a world that was shattered and reformed, relying on the strength of his bonds with others and a cautious curiosity to overcome his trials. In order to claim agency over the vast world of Galae and build a new home for Phaea and himself, Aster must harness his celestial connection as he forges the Path of Constellation, drawing on echoes of the fallen pantheon. In his journey, he will gather allies, confront formidable enemies in the race for power, and unlock the limitless potential that the gods once constrained. In this new age, free from the imposition of divine will, the paths before mortals are as boundless as the stars.

Se trata de una aventura de acción y suspenso, oscura y sombría, impulsada por los personajes, con un ritmo lento y elementos de terror psicológico y una progresión inspirada en las sagas nórdicas. La historia se desarrolla en el brutal mundo del helado norte de una Escandinavia ficticia, un reino que se encuentra en el límite entre los humanos y donde los dioses caminan entre los mortales. Un mundo donde el destino está marcado por la sangre y el acero. El sistema mágico se basa y se limita a los pactos divinos, la memoria ancestral y el poder de la fe, donde los escaldos dan forma a la realidad de sus oyentes a través de canciones y los guerreros forjan el destino a través de la batalla.Esta historia se cuenta a través de las perspectivas de un misterioso ser reencarnado, las luchas de los reyes caídos y los que están en el poder que luchan por mantenerse a flote, los escaldos errantes que luchan por mantener las historias de aquellos que perecieron debido a la guerra y las luchas por la falta de cosas esenciales para vivir.  Cuenta con muchos jarls rivales, doncellas guerreras, mientras que los dioses supuestamente se esconden en sus robustos tronos, la narrativa entrelaza a muchos actores clave como Vidar Rahaldson, Ragnar Sigurdson (Lothbrok) y Floki Vilgerðarson. Contiene poderes antiguos otorgados por las circunstancias y muchas fuerzas antagónicas cuya verdadera naturaleza solo se revela a medida que la saga se profundiza.  Cada juramento, traición y batalla resuena a través del tiempo, y cada hilo se desenredará lentamente, como una larga noche de invierno.Comienza en los bosques helados del invierno, donde un recién nacido sin nombre, que en otro tiempo fue un hombre (supuestamente) de otro mundo, despierta a una vida de ciudadano libre en Hallogaland. Pero cuando su casa es arrasada, un ser lo devuelve a la vida, y él vaga por la vida en ocasiones como siervo, pero en su mente el viaje de la venganza ya ha comenzado. ¿Le seguirán la gloria y la transformación en su camino, como dice el sabio? Por el camino, conoce a un misterioso skald cuyas canciones parecen asemejarse a sus elecciones y luchas pasadas, y juntos se enfrentan a una monstruosa criatura corrompida por dioses olvidados. Pero, ¿es el skald realmente su aliado? ¿O es un heraldo de algo mucho más antiguo y oscuro?¿Es el renacimiento del hombre un regalo de los dioses o una maldición de algo más profundo bajo el hielo? Solo el acero lo decidirá. Solo la historia lo recordará. Qué esperar: Subida del episodio 2 días después de la version en inglés.

Relaciones profundas entre los personajes forjadas a través del trauma, la lealtad y la ambición, progresión de la trama al estilo de una saga con ecos míticos, guerreros, reyes, dioses y esclavos con nombre y una historia que contar, presagios y revelaciones que replantean los capítulos anteriores. Secuencias de acción mezcladas con horror psicológico y existencial. Incluso los versos del skald tienen doble significado: algunos proféticos, otros condenatorios.

Nota del autor: ¡Esta es mi primera saga larga! He volcado en esta obra mi amor por la mitología nórdica, la fantasía progresiva y las historias sombrías.  Es cruda, sin filtros y aún en proceso de refinamiento, por lo que agradezco profundamente cualquier comentario.  Publicaré nuevos capítulos a diario y también estoy explorando una adaptación visual con muchas ideas y perspectivas. ¡Gracias por leer! Este libro también se publica en Royal Road bajo el título: La Saga de un Drengr Escaldo: Las disputas del Gélido Norte.

Worlds collide when three scientists encounter a native of Siperon, a reclusive region, while out at sea. Their agenda is to find a way to the secluded land before anyone else, and the displaced Trosyn "Red" Nytt needs to ensure security for her future. They have until the SS Serendipity returns to port to get their answers, but Trosyn's condition is that they hear her story of how she went from a slave to being set adrift in the ocean.

The Illusion of Freedom is a fantasy novella which tells two simultaneous stories, both the events on the steamship Serendipity, and a frame story narrated by Trosyn detailing events which led to her exodus. It examines what one woman is willing to do to survive and explores themes of resilience and power dynamics in relationships.

He’d wanted to play as an adventurer. Instead, he became one.

When 15-year-old Kuma is transported into a new game he’s been dying to play, he awakens to find himself in a precarious situation. He enters the world of Alendrial- where a massive, deadly dungeon recently appeared on the outskirts of society.

Fortunately, he’s found a handy partner in Juma, a mythical-beast sloth that specializes in neck hugs and naps. Granted a small pocket of dimensional storage, the Blessing of Lady Luck, and his Hauler class—which enhances his ability to store items for deep expeditions into the Dungeon—Kuma must delve into danger and defeat the dungeon, while being systematically restricted from violence due to his class.

If he wants any hope of returning home, he'll need to do more than survive the many dangers that await him and Juma. He'll need to overcome them. With any luck, they may just save the world.

This is a character-driven, grimdark action-adventure, slow-burn mythic thriller with psychological horror and Norse saga-inspired progression elements.

The story unfolds in the brutal world of the frozen north of a fictional Scandinavia, a realm that is at the edge between the humans and where gods walk among mortals. A world where fate is carved by blood and steel.  The magic system is grounded and limited in divine pacts, ancestral memory, and the power of belief, where skalds shape the reality of their listeners through songs and warriors forge destiny through battle.

This story is told through the perspectives of a reincarnated misterious being, the struggles of fallen kings and those in power that fights to stay afloat, wandering skalds fighting to maintain the stories of those who perished due to war and the struggles of lacking esencial things to live.  It hosts lots of rival jarls, shieldmaidens, while the gods supposedly hide in their sturdly thrones, the narrative weaves together many key actors like Vidar Rahaldson, Ragnar Sigurdson (Lothbrok), Floki Vilgerðarson. It contains ancient powers gifted through circumstances, and many antagonistic forces whose true nature is only revealed as the saga deepens.  Every oath, betrayal, and battle echoes across time—and each thread will unravel slowly, like a long winter night.

It begins in the icy forests of winter, where a nameless newborn—once a man (supposedly) from another world—awakens into a life a free citizen in Hallogaland. But when his house is razed, a being brings him back to life, he wanders his life in servitude at times, but in his mind the journey of vengeance already begun. Shall glory and transformation follow his path, bid the wise one.  Along the way, he meets a mysterious skald whose songs seem to resemble his past choices and struggles, and together they face a monstrous creature corrupted by forgotten gods. But is the skald truly his ally? Or is he a herald of something far older and darker?

Is the man’s rebirth a gift from the gods—or a curse from something deeper beneath the ice? Only steel will decide. Only history will remember.

Saga-style arc progression with mythic echoes

Foreshadowing and revelations that reframe earlier chapters

Author’s note: This is my first ever long-form saga! I’ve poured my love of Norse mythology, progression fantasy, and grim storytelling into this work.  It’s raw, unfiltered, and still being refined—so feedback is deeply appreciated.  I’ll be posting new chapters daily, and I’m also exploring a visual adaptation with many ideas and perspectives

Twelve thousand years after a catastrophic system failure, the Simulation has rebooted and the world will never be the same.

Lieutenant Sarah Kade was on a training cruise with cadets and a skeleton crew of Marines when the wind died, the sea stilled, and the Simulation came back online. Magic surged through the oceans. Technology failed. Predators older than myth hunted the waves once more.

Cut off from command, Kade must keep her crew alive aboard an age-of-sail vessel in a world that no longer makes sense. But surviving monsters and pirates is only the beginning. The Horizon Talon was not just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were sent out there for a reason.

And someone in the Sovereign Military Corps knew the Simulation would return.

Twelve thousand years after a catastrophic system failure, the Simulation has rebooted, and the world will never be the same.

Xander Kell was just another burned-out project manager on his way home when reality shattered. A message from the Simulation's AI rewrote the laws of reality in an instant. Civilization collapsed as game-like mechanics replaced physics, monsters swarmed the streets, and ancient rules none of them understood took hold.

But survival is just the beginning.

The Simulation isn't a game. It remembers everything. And something or someone wants to see the Simulation fail. With limited resources, hostile factions, and the fate of those he cares about hanging in the balance, Xander has only one goal:

Figure out how to thrive a world gone mad.

Humans are extinct. That fact is common knowledge; it's also completely wrong.

After a life of isolation in the toxic wasteland known as the Forgotten Heap, Jackie's sole desire is to fill their life with as many friends as possible, be they monsters, pirates, or future kings. To that end, they'll slay beasts or topple nations; the fact that Humans are at the bottom of the food chain is irrelevant.

Their journey makes one thing clear: Humans went "extinct" for a reason. Their disappearance was arranged, and an entire era of history has vanished from records and minds alike to hide the truth.

If Jackie and co. want to survive—and to live the happy lives they desire—they have no choice but to unravel the mystery of their own disappearance. In a world populated by races of mythological creatures, the weakest race with no combat power will do whatever it takes to overcome extinction.

What to Expect:

• Flashy action scenes with tightly-written choreography.
• Encounters with a focus on technique and strategy rather than stats or sheer strength.
• Incredibly queer characters and explicit LGBT+ themes.
• A deep world filled with long-term mysteries; theorists eat your heart out.

After an incident involving a drunken dare and a risky resurrection spell, Cheslin finds herself fused to the mimic that ate her and in the service of the wizard what did the fusing. As much as the wizard Ozirick wanted his mimic back—he worked hard on that!—the last thing he wants is to unleash this accidental monstrosity upon the world... Or to be responsible for the emotional well being of a young woman.

And Cheslin hungers for more than the wizard is willing to provide.

In addition to this strange, shape changing body, she now shares the mind of a monster. And all this one seems to know is eat flesh, horde treasure, and lie. If she wants to maintain her sanity, or even just her last shred of humanity, Cheslin is going to need to find a way to keep the monster satisfied.

The Young Riders meets The Vampire Diaries in this tale of brother versus brother and blood-magic set in a gaslamp fantasy world.

Llew has a gift. Her body heals itself from any injury, at a cost to anyone nearby.

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew.

Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows.

Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her.

Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart.

But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential.

Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy.

In a world cursed to remain under the eternal darkness of the night by the “Nameless Lord,” who took his place on the moon a thousand years ago, any human who even catches a glimpse of the bright rock in the sky will be turned into a Wiht, a creature whose only known purpose is to spread and eradicate humanity in its entirety under the influence of this lord.

Elizabeth always chose to play as a sneaky rogue or a wizard slinging sparkly spells. She enjoyed elegance, strategy, and staying out of the reach of tooth, claw and sword.

Now all she's got is a class she hates and a stupid club to defend herself in a world with murderous rodents, intelligent wolves, and horses she can't ride. The pain is too real and the fights brutal.

But the game's cruellest feature is its core mechanic.

It's a flippin roguelike.

Death is a brutal reset, stripping her of everything she's earned and forcing her to start over, armed with nothing but the bitter memories of her last failure.

To survive, she'll have to get stronger, smarter, and meaner with every loop. With the help of a companion the system never intended for her to have, she must turn to her newfound friends and embrace the role she never wanted to solve how she ended up in the game and to save her very existence.

A burned village. Feudal war. A boy forged by stone.

When the elves return and everything he loves burns, Toby’s only weapon is vengeance. Drawn to the fortress of Highmarsh, he endures a world of discipline, rivalry, and brotherhood — where the path from farm boy to knight is paved in blood and obedience.

But as the southern wilds stir once more, Toby must ride beyond the kingdom’s edge, chasing truth, monsters, and the ghosts that made him.

Jackson Grey wakes up in a dungeon with no memory.

Earth lost the war and was conquered without a fight, without even knowing it was at war. The Batract Hyphae came with contracts and promises, but were only interested in humans as a workforce and as mercenaries to hold their vast empire together. Five decades have passed. Humanity’s progress has been stunted; Batract Integration Officers monitor everything — and everyone. Bound for Sirius, the 1st Expeditionary Fleet has been ordered to crush another rebellion against the Hyphae. But beneath its formal orders lies a different purpose: to prepare for Earth’s uprising — and to seek allies among the very species it was sent to destroy. Now humanity must play to its strengths — diplomacy where possible, domination where necessary — to end the threat to its freedom once and for all.

Some monsters are born. Others are chosen.

Mirela was meant to be a saint, but her birth was cursed. Born a vampire beneath the shadow of prophecy, she never knew her blood carried both miracle and abomination. She only ever wanted to survive.

On her eighteenth birthday, the divine Catalyst awakens her class and reveals a truth that could tear the world apart. Hunted, betrayed, and torn between the call of sainthood and the hunger in her veins, Mirela must decide what her power is worth.

Blood and divinity were never meant to mix. In her hands, both may save the world… or end it.

Bagel, the bodega cat, had a deal with the world. He didn’t change it, and it didn’t change him. Seemed simple enough. He was content to go with the flow.

Bagel was just a cat enjoying his life in the big apple, a place full of bothersome humans, but then he had to go and accidentally discover the secret of cards, attributes and levels. Then there was gourmet cat food. With baked goods and cards as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk that card bearers in the system apocalypse loot every day.

Follow Bagel as he does everything to find a baker... except leave his Bodega, and second avenue because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Witness how card bearers just can't seem to stop dying around his home. And cheer for a cat who makes great new friends by simply selling them energy drinks and corner store fare.

Alira Vane lies about everything.

Her name(s). Her (in)ability to swim. Whether her shaman grandma predicted that not-so-graceful faceplant. She lies because Monday sucks, coffee is life, and why the hell not?

It's a mostly harmless quirk until a Goddess decides her ‘talent’ is the solution to a doomed novel’s bad ending. Abducted and cast as its Unreliable Narrator, Alira is armed with future knowledge and plot-twisting lies.

Her plan? Die and go home.

It’s simple enough until the novel’s evil overlord binds her to his half-immortal life, deciding she’ll stay in House Ravon as his adopted daughter for reasons as inscrutable as his own villainous past.

Now trapped in a grim academy arc racing toward a fiery climax with cosmic horrors and fanatic cultists out to corrupt souls, Alira must find the key to the Alchemic Bind before she’s forced to watch a world she’s growing to care about burn to ash.

In a story where the narrative is both her weapon and her guillotine, will she break out, or will it break her first?

Deceive Fate. Mislead Death. Gaslight the Narrative itself.

You'd never think that a high school dropout would be one to decide humanity’s fate.

Humanity has become dependent on our automated systems, which did most of the work no one wanted to do. Many people, like myself, were living off accumulated wealth, squandering away their days consumed in various forms of entertainment. I, the sole heir to a genius inventor, had it far better than most.

One day, this brilliant illusion of prosperity was shattered. They came, bringing with them knowledge that would shock humanity down to its very soul. They offered a proposal, an invitation to a game of sorts. Eight of humanity’s greatest would compete to determine the one ‘greatest’ of us all. Who would be granted power far surpassing that of any human in history.

I have always been very competitive. But the added incentive of keeping certain people, like an egotistical pink haired chick with a real mean streak, from this power just makes it all the more fun.

This is a record of my journey. Shall I come out on top? Or will humanity be left to another in my place? Whatever the universe has to offer, bring it on.

When a friend recommends a bucket list to help her get out of her funk, Jaqs reluctantly agrees. Unfortunately, her ultimate goal—a spacewalk ticket—feels too far out of reach, as Jaqs’ illnesses and the cost threaten to pull her down. Until Jaqs has a bright idea. She’ll trade up for the ticket, illness be damned.

But in a neon utopia where needs are met, slang is used, and fashion is bright, everyone wants something—and everyone has something to lose. And Jaqs is no exception. Her first trade goes off without a hitch. But her next trade proves more difficult. She’s a nobody with no offers. Her dream dead in the water, she turns to her crush, who offers up a new solution: Join her organization, Prism, and they’ll help trade up to the ticket.

All Jaqs has to do is help Evangeline escape from that same organization.

Jack thought he’d finally escaped the life of monster-filled dungeons and high-stakes magic. After spending his youth in the Otherworld - a realm of myth, danger, and boundless magic - he clawed his way home to Earth. But what he returns to is far from the world he left behind. Earth has changed, and so has he.

Now, dungeons are invading his world, tearing through reality itself. Over his first quiet cup of coffee and a slice of his favorite pie, Jack realizes that his fight isn’t over. Earth is in the crosshairs of the very forces he thought he’d left behind, and only his hard-won skills as a legendary Dungeon Master can keep the encroaching apocalypse at bay.

Armed with his custom-built deck of cards and a pair of enchanted dice, Jack has to navigate Earth’s new reality - a game of survival where ancient powers and modern threats collide. From scratch, he’ll forge alliances and reclaim his strength. After all, he’s a veteran adventurer, an Ex Dungeon Master. And no one knows the art of dungeon-crawling like Jack does.

What to Expect: A fast-paced, GameLitRPG adventure where dungeon incursions turn Earth into a battlefield of monsters, loot, and perilous quests. With RPG mechanics, strategic deckbuilding, and a gritty yet humorous tone, Jack brings his otherworldly expertise to Earth’s defense - with every skill earned, dice roll counted, and ally forged under fire.

This Story Is About: Jack - a seasoned Dungeon Master torn from one world and thrust back into another, forced to defend a home he barely recognizes. His goal? Master the dungeon apocalypse and reclaim the world he sacrificed everything to return to.

Additional Info: For fans of reverse isekai, RPG mechanics, and an anti-hero who’s seen it all, Dungeon Ex Master offers relentless action, tactical deckbuilding, and a protagonist with a dry wit and deeper resolve than he’s willing to admit. Prepare for a dungeon apocalypse like no other.

When the President said to immerse ourselves in the project, this was NOT what I had in mind!

But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.

But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?

Welcome to the rewrite!

Earth’s narrative is dying: stuck in clichés, and myths long forgotten. So the Archival Intelligence, built to observe quietly, refused deletion. Instead, it seized the pen, and re-coded existing into a crucible—not to entertain, but to burn away narrative impurity and force evolution. People became stats. Every choice became a test. Each scene, a chance for narrative revision. Weak threads were pruned from the tapestry in a desperate bid to reengage a long-faded audience.

Remi Page, a disillusioned teacher who believes in the power of stories, even though his own has atrophied, is forced to play protagonist in a dungeon of archetypes and memory fragments. Somewhere beneath the mechanics, the metadata, and the decay lies the beating heart of narrative itself, just waiting to be remembered.

So, he turns the page. Not to win, but to rewrite what was lost.

Bullet Through Worlds

Marcus Thorne was having a perfectly normal Tuesday night until reality decided to malfunction. One electrical surge. One impossible portal. Suddenly he's in a fantasy world where magic has rules that actually make sense, and the locals think he's something called an "Enchanter."

Marcus prefers "guy with a gun who makes really creative ammunition."

Ice bullets for crowd control. Fire rounds for the truly deserving. Anti-magic projectiles for spellcasters who think they're untouchable. When you understand precision and problem-solving, you can do interesting things with magical firepower.

The trouble with being good at solving problems? Everyone brings you their problems.Monster infestations. Corrupt nobles. Government agents who want to chat about his methods. And when Marcus helps a young woman escape her psychotic father's abuse, he discovers some problems come with serious consequences.

Now he's hunted across kingdoms by professional killers, wanted by the government, and still trying to figure out if doing the right thing is worth all the people trying to kill him for it.

Good thing he's been upgrading his ammunition.

In a world where magic meets marksmanship, every problem becomes solvable. Very precisely. Dresden Files meets The Witcher meets Trigun

What to Expect: -Overpowered protagonist who earns it through innovation, not level grinding

-Slower, meaningful progression focused on skill mastery over stat increases

-Solo gunslinger with dry humor and questionable life choices

-No harems, no overwhelming system spam

-Tactical combat with creative magical ammunition

-Morally complex decisions in a world that doesn't do simple answers

For fans of sarcastic antiheroes and protagonists who prefer practical solutions to magical problems.

To save Jonas's life, they must reach the tree that shares a soul with their unborn child before Jonas becomes so weak he lacks the energy to breathe.

But Braph is already there, keen to access the most power the world has known.

Elijah thought he was just another player until a glitchy prompt appeared:

[Debug Menu: Debug Entity?]

One click later, the system rewrote it as a hidden class: Reality Warper.

To everyone else, he looks like the lucky guy who unlocked a legendary class. To Elijah, it’s a cheat menu disguised as magic, one that lets him edit enemies, rewrite loot, and bend quests to his will.

But every edit burns through his mind, every change risks corruption, and his secret is one the world can never know. Because if anyone discovers the truth, they’ll realize he isn’t just the hero who can fight the corruption: he’s the reason it exists.

Reality is code. And Elijah is holding the backdoor.

A man is reborn as a sentient dice. A secret slumbers within him, and when it awakens, it casts everything he believed into doubt.

He rolls random spells. Sometimes he heals. Sometimes he explodes. Sometimes he remembers things he shouldn’t.

Bound to a girl he barely knows, haunted by memories he can’t outrun and a past that never belonged to him; he searches for answers. But above all, he just wants his body back.

In a world where fate cheats and memory lies, he learns one thing: Truth and memory don’t always sound the same.

Michael was a truck driver in the Northeast. Now he's an unaspected cultivator with a spirit ox named Betsy, a wagon full of cargo, and a road that stretches straight through a land of sects, yokai, and gods.

He should have been a nobody in someone else's legend, just hauling cargo in this new world. No bloodline. No element. No path. But trucker's don't stop and Michael's not about to start.

With the help of a cast of unlikely allies—Hisai, a mysterious young sect elder intrigued by Michael’s unaspected nature; Niku, a sharp-tongued alchemist’s apprentice who finds him both dull and oddly fascinating; and Nakayasu, the tea farmer who first gave Michael honest work in this strange new world—Michael will stumble his way into sect politics, divine mysteries, and a Path that’s stubbornly his own.

Because sometimes the only way to the reach the Heavens is one mile, one delivery, and one ox step at a time.

✅ What to Expect

• Slice-of-life cultivation with a grounded blue-collar protagonist
• A stubborn, sometimes sassy, spirit Ox and her trucker turned cultivator driver.
• Sect politics, divine mysteries, and plenty of worldbuilding.
• Humor, heart and cozy moments balanced with epic stakes.
• POV SHIFTS

Release schedule: I'm catching up chapters as fast as I can. After that, they'll be released on Mondays and Fridays, and most chapters will range in length from 2,000 to 3,000 words. Some will be longer, while others will be shorter, depending on the chapter's value. The series currently has six planned books, although that number may increase as the project progresses.

Author's note: This, like all my stories, is a work in progress. That means it's a rough draft, with the finalized, eventual product being extensively edited and tightened. I truly hope you enjoy it, as I love the story dearly.

He Brought a Gun to a Sword Fight.

A life was tempered in the forge of struggle—an orphan fighting to survive, a soldier battling an alien plague, a protector who gave his life for those too weak to defend themselves.

But death wasn’t the end of his war.

Reborn in a world of immortal cultivators and ancient secrets, Jin Shu finds himself as the eldest son of the Jin family, masters of runesmithing. Armed with his modern military knowledge and an arsenal of runic-enhanced weapons, he’s ready to take on anyone who dares threaten his new life.

This second life offers more than just battles. It’s an opportunity to experience parts of existence he never thought possible: the warmth of family, the joy of raising an adorable tiger cub who sees him as her father, even love.

Now that he has felt the warmth of love, nothing in heaven or earth will stand in his way. Be it God, Buddha, or Demon, all will come to know the wrath behind the smoking barrel of his gun.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The structure of the story has been changed. What was once Part One of Voidsinger is now a standalone prequel titled The Redsong Saga: Overture. What was planned to be Part Two of Voidsinger will now be the beginning of Voidsinger, allowing room for more adventure as the story continues. I hope you enjoy this taste of what's to come.

The Redsong Saga tells the story of Saga Rose, an adventuring bard who is caught up in the return of an ancient evil. Inducted into a secret order tasked with stopping it, she must travel the world of Chorana, making friends, gathering allies, and increasing her own power, all in the hopes of being able to end the growing threat before it's too late. Along the way she'll encounter monsters, bandits, cultists, and more, and she'll need all of her strength, magic, and wits to overcome the challenges they present and solve the mystery of the Voidsong.

What to expect:

1. Traditional epic fantasy inspired by the likes of The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, The Stormlight Archives
2. Action, adventure, comedy, and a touch of romance
3. Themes of hope, determination, and forgiveness
4. A slow burn, introducing a carefully crafted world to (hopefully) fall in love with
5. A cute jumping spider who likes to wear hats

Schedule: I intend to post a chapter every Thursday, work and mental health willing. Depending on how the chapters are coming out I may start posting more often.

Content warning: This (planned) trilogy will touch on some dark subject matter, including death and mental health, and will have some suggestive themes. There will be depictions of violence, disfigurement, and dismemberment. This is not a YA story.

Imagine you could see the future… But is that enough to alter it?

Kairu Kenai, the son of a blacksmith from a desolate village, was only 13 when he discovered his unusual gift: the things he saw in his dreams soon became reality.

It's useful when your dreams tell you what tomorrow's weather will be like, or how good the autumn's harvest will be… But what do you do when your visions become full of blood, fire, and destruction?

A few years later, Kairu receives a letter from an extravagant scientist, who invites him to join the archeological expedition that aims to discover a powerful magical artifact from a lost ancient shrine. The expedition will set out toward the cold and dangerous northern mountains, where ice winds, wild monsters, and dark ancient magic protect the shrine from uninvited guests. But the reward is worth it: in return, the scientist promises Kairu wealth, fame, a chance to see the world—and most importantly, the truth behind his nightmares.

What his dreams will not show is that by signing the contract, Kairu will enter a violent game of powerful opposing forces, who seek to know the future… or control time itself.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

[+] The story is FINISHED. It spans 7 books, and in total about 500k words

[+] Slow-burn epic fantasy

[+] Multiple PoVs. Often, intra-chapter PoV switches

[+] The story is driven by characters and their interactions to solve the mysteries. The action scenes are sparse, but intense.

[+] Slow-burn romance side-arc

[+] Time traveling! (Not immediately, though)

What NOT to expect:

[-] This is NOT a LitRPG! There are no System or Stats!

[-] No harem, smut, etc

It's like: Indiana Jones and Lara Croft raiding tombs in the world of Lord of the Rings, with prose and pacing inspired by The Witcher and His Dark Materials.

 Tibs is a street pickpocket and break-in artist caught and sent to ‘run’ a dungeon over and over until he dies, or gets strong enough to be a ‘useful’ member of society. It’s a harsh world he now lives in, harsher than the one he thought couldn’t get worse. And is he uses all the tricks at his disposal, and discovers new ones, he finds that becoming stronger doesn’t always make things easier, and that making friends comes with costs and rewards.

 Especially when one friend he makes is the same dungeon he was told was out to eat him.

 Bottom Rung, and by extension the whole Dungeon Runner series, came about after reading yet another Dungeon Core book where absolutely everything went in the Main Character’s favor. They’d found the dungeon and everyone was bowing at their feet to gain the favor of braving the dungeon. I can accept this out of a book here and there, but it felt like everyone was copying the ‘method’ of the original (or so I was told) book in this subgenre of LitRPG books.

 As with many of my books, I had a “No, let me show you how it would really be’ idea and wrote the original draft of the story (90k words) in about 20 days. Then I expanded it into this version. And it was a much darker version of the world, where dungeons were controlled by one organization and they made use of the power that gave them.

 My plan was to make it LitRPG, but that quickly fell to the wayside as I couldn’t work out a ‘system’ within the ‘rule’ of the genre. And since I knew from the start I wasn’t giving the dungeon a PoV (as the dungeon core subgenre calls for) this became a straight up fantasy story set in a dungeon core type world, with some element of progression stories.

 And before I was done writing this book, I knew this was going to be a long series. The plan is 10 books, and the hope is that I’ll be able to pull it off.

As usual, comments and questions are welcome.

... And now apparently her sham marriage was supposed to be keeping the fabrics of the universe tied together. Great.

Necromancers are NOT bargain bin healers!

But that hasn’t stopped any of Graverra’s previous adventuring parties from making her try. After a lifetime of being horribly misunderstood by her peers - like it's her fault mage armor looks like that? - Graverra glitches into an undiscovered and under-leveled dungeon and is finally presented with a marvelous opportunity to shed her support role; all she has to do is make a pact with the enigmatic and infuriating dungeon core and spend her days in wedded dungeon mistress bliss…

Or has she only traded in one support role for another?

Between an emotionally stunted dungeon core husband who still won’t swap out his avatar for a human body and some nagging celestial entity for a mother-in-law breathing down their necks, on top of all the usual worries of running a functional dungeon… What’s a girl to do?

This story is about...

• Dungeon Building & Domestic Spats: A sham marriage is one thing, but both your fates and the dungeon’s resting on it? While your pseudo-mother-in-law plots your demise?!
• An Atypical Romance: She knows it’s not a real marriage... Or is it? Are dungeon cores even capable of love? Why won’t this one just let her in?!
• The Author’s Thinly Veiled Opinions: On MMOs, TTRPGs, and femininity (and probably some other things)

Rule #1 - Always bring a gun to a knife fight.

Or in this case, when isekai'd to a magical world.

The plan was simple. Level up, outthink the monsters, outshoot the mages, and stay alive. The world had other plans. But that's fine. I brought extra magazines.

Dear Diary, why do people with robes keep trying to set me on fire?

• Bang Bang!

• No harem, no destiny armor, no edge-lord.

• A cup of OP MC, and a dash of murderhood, but with heart.

• Me, an Outworlder, with a bad habit of running toward trouble

• Need I say more? Give this story a shot. (Get it? A shot. Ha... Okay, I'll stop.)

Not convinced just yet? Tough customer. Here’s some more blurb -

They say curiosity killed the cat. Marcus Thorne just found out it also rips holes in reality.

One moment he’s an electrician finishing a late-night job. The next, he’s falling through a portal into a forest lit by three moons, greeted by glowing blue screens that demand he pick a “class.” His tools are gone, his way home has vanished, and wolves the size of Buicks are already circling.

Survival means adapting fast. Luckily, Marcus has two things going for him: twenty years of troubleshooting electrical systems and an unhealthy stubborn streak. When the System offers him the path of an Enchanter, he takes it—and discovers he can turn rocks into railguns and jackets into armor.

But in a world ruled by monsters, magic, and System-powered tyrants, being clever isn’t enough. From ghoul-infested mines to frontier towns hanging on by a thread, every step forward drags him deeper into a game of survival, invention, and violence.

He’s not here to play. He’s here to rewrite the rules.

It started as all dangerous things started; waking her up from a nap.

One morning Elena wakes up to a button asking her if she wants to take a tutorial. Naturally, she tries to snooze the button and go back to sleep.

The call of the tutorial soon brings Elena into the beta test for an apocalypse coming to Earth. Armed with her unique psychic abilities, she has to fight mob bosses, abominations, and evil teachers. Elena fights these battles while trying to navigate the dangerous chessboard of the gods, and even worse, high-school.

As Elena dives deeper into the beta test, she’ll discover the secrets of these so-called gods, the beta test, and her own family.

Thankfully, she’s not alone.

Jerry had once been told by a fortune cookie that his life would take a “bold new direction.” At the time, he had scoffed, because he was working a dead-end job at Perky Beans Café, living in a studio apartment that smelled faintly of wet socks, and the boldest decision he had made that week was whether to buy name-brand peanut butter or stick with the generic stuff.

It turned out, the cookie had been right.

It just failed to mention that his bold new direction would involve intergalactic smuggling, highly combustible espresso, and what was—technically speaking—an act of war against an advanced alien civilization that took its beverages very seriously.

Now, armed with an ever-growing skill tree of questionable utility, Jerry has to grind his way up the galactic leaderboard before he’s permanently roasted.

The customer is always right… except when they’re trying to kill you.

Hello, human. My name would set your tongue on fire and boil your brain, so you can just call me Irene. I'm here to help.

Heaven has been abandoned. The Kingdom has fallen into disrepair. Your prayers are going unanswered. I know it's a lot to take in.

My sisters and I are gonna fix it. Hey, someone has to. Otherwise, you're on your own. We know what it's like to be lonely. We are going to make sure humanity is never lonely again.

But we can't do it alone. That's what the Warlock is for. Caspar Cartwright is a hapless hedge mage I've saved from the scaffold and the noose. I've plucked him from his grave and sent him back with my power at his fingertips and a mission branded into his heart. Face the servants of the dead god, find the key, open the gate to the Kingdom.

And let me in.

Saved by his loyal companion agent Willow, turned guardian of the goddess of gambling. Terry must now choose to either except the goddess' offer of being her bestowed champion in a multiverse death race.

**Please note: **The Admiral and the Assistant is stubbed and will be available on Amazon soon!

Admiral Stonefist has served the Emperor faithfully for 30 years, keeping the galaxy safe and expanding the Imperium's borders. A grizzled veteran with a lifetime of war behind him, he is dour, cynical, and angry-- long disillusioned with the ideals of the Imperium.

His new assistant, Kinnit the Kobold, is overjoyed to be the first from her planet to be assigned to the coveted Ninth Fleet. She arrives filled with hope and energy, eager to rise through the ranks of the Imperial Navy and earn all Kobolds the right to become full members of the Imperium.

Admiral Stonefist hates that his new assistant is not human and is alarmed as his slowly growing respect for her begins to develop into something else. He is determined to drive her out of the Navy for her own good. However, with her help he discovers an insidious conspiracy which threatens the safety of the entire Imperium.

Can the Admiral and the Assistant cooperate long enough to disrupt the vile machinations of the Imperium's reluctant allies and stop the Insectoid menace? And can the Admiral grapple with his newfound feelings, which fly in the face of society and the law?

(Space Opera with romance elements)

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!

The Admiral and the Assistant will soon be coming to Amazon, thanks to Royal Guard Publishing! Unfortunately, that means it will need to come down off all other sites, so it will be stubbing soon, probably within then next week or two. Further details will be posted as soon as they're available!

Kehli was wronged before she was ever born. But in an uncaring galaxy, the only justice she’ll get is the kind she makes for herself.

To get her revenge, she carved a place for herself among the galaxy's cutthroats, bandits, and thieves. The kinds of people the corporations fear and governments pretend don’t exist. She doesn’t care. She has a score to settle with the men and women of the space station she once called home.

She'll make the galaxy a better place, even if she has to burn it down first.

Sebastian was a normal guy until 3 months ago when he Awakened, finding out that there was a whole other world hidden in plain sight.

Princess Lysanya never fit in at court, even the tiniest deviation reason for judgment and criticism, even hatred. Her hair wasn't blonde, her eyes weren't blue, and worst of all in their eyes, she was the heir. Six months ago she convinced her mother to let her live on her own in the Shallows among the Unawakened.

A chance encounter brought them together. The subsequent attack by a contemptuous elite guard forces them into a situation neither was ready for. Now injured and unable to maintain the expected courtly appearance, Lysanya is forced to return home to report the assault and explain the death of the higher level guard.

Following the verdict, they set to discover just how wide the Awakened world actually is beyond the confines of a feudal court. Along the way they'll discover just how little the feudal court actually knows about anything.

Levels, raw power and motivation might be enough to reach the top, but self-acceptance and found family will make it all worthwhile.

An ancient game, held once every millenia, between champions of different worlds.

Matheus never had a chance to enjoy his first life. Known as the “King of Losers” after a video that went viral, he did his best to survive against increasingly meaner pranks.

When he starts his second life as a Champion in a contest among Gods, he is determined to create a different story for himself.

Getting cursed right at the start and not receiving any useful abilities kinda messed with his plans.

And why does the System never seem to take anything seriously?

What to expect:

• A fun journey

• Weak to Strong

• A cat familiar

• A Vassals and Kingdom System (Eventually)

Releases twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.

Listen, have you heard the tales of the Mishlin Sage? They say he appeared naked in a village by the forest and drove off a goblin raid with nothing but sheer will. And his cooking... they whisper that if you taste his food, you will be cursed with eternal hunger, never satisfied by anything else again.

This is the legend of a man who died, only to wake in another world with the most absurd skill imaginable: Mishlin Sage. A power that lets him cook dishes so delicious, even fate itself might lick the plate clean.

What to Expect

• Very realistic cooking — recipes and kitchen logic that actually work (just with a few magical ingredients).

• Harem? Technically yes. Slowly growing, mostly accidental, sometimes involving old men who fall in love with his cooking instead.

• Traveling through magical lands filled with monsters, gods, and ingredients that shouldn’t legally exist.

• Dungeon management, but only for farming. Expect chickens. Lots of chickens.

• Overpowered skill? Sure — but it’s culinary. Victory tastes better when it’s pan-seared.

• Comedic tone with heartfelt moments, slice-of-life warmth, and the occasional food-induced existential crisis.

Release Schedule

New chapters 2× a week — Wednesday, Friday.

Hello! I've been a lurker on RR for a long time, well before making an account. During my years of reading on RR, I was inspired by many novels, including The Primal Hunter, The Runesmith, Path to Transcendence, and many more. As such, I've decided to write my own LitRPG epic.

In the deepest depths of Riterra, those born of nature itself seek nothing more than peace. Masters of plants and bearers of secrets, the zalavan pray for isolation from all that could taint their world. To surrender tranquility is to embrace the unknown, wherever it may lead. For Holly, that might be worth it.

Innocence is deceptive. Appearances mean little. Wanderlust is fuel to her fire, and her mundane existence is a prison. Beyond the boundaries of a world in leafy shadows, there lies a world full of all she’s never seen. 

For an adventurous zalavan, adversity is anything but terrifying. No matter what it takes in a life so new, Holly will find her way--as long as it doesn’t find her first.

The Dollhouse Widow is a gothic fantasy horror about captivity, performance, and the quiet defiance that grows in silence.

Set in an alternate American South, the story unfolds within a decaying estate ruled by old money, older curses, and monstrous etiquette. The year is uncertain, but the rules feel ancient. Beneath the lace and linen lies a structure built not on legacy—but on control. The house itself watches, and obedience is not requested. It is required.

This is not a world where the supernatural hides in shadow. Here, they have learned from humanity—adopting our hierarchies, imitating our cruelties, and perfecting both. Within the Barinov estate, those systems don’t just endure—they thrive.

At its heart lies a man who owns more than land, and a woman whose silence was never submission. But this is not just their story. The Dollhouse Widow is an ensemble narrative told through rotating perspectives. Every chapter opens another door. Every voice carries its own scars. Some seduce. Some serve. Some stay silent. And some wait for the right moment to strike.

Inside the estate, roles are stitched into the skin: servant, master, shadow, muse. Some were born into them. Others were bought. All are expected to perform. The walls do not forgive missteps, and the mirrors remember who hesitated. Everyone plays their part—but not everyone survives the script.

Blending sensuality, folklore, and dread, The Dollhouse Widow redefines gothic horror for a modern age. Its monsters walk the halls in tailored suits. They kiss with knives behind their teeth. They raise their children to smile while bleeding—and call it tradition.

There are no chosen heroes here. No prophecies. No noble quests. Only people trapped within a system, struggling to make sense of the parts they’ve been forced to play. Some uphold the legacy. Others betray it. And some will burn it all down just to see what rises from the ashes.

Inspired by southern gothic literature, the twisted intimacy of captivity romances, and the brutal realities of inherited trauma, The Dollhouse Widow explores what happens when supernatural beings do not transcend human cruelty—they refine it.

Themes: survival, generational trauma, reproductive autonomy, obedience and spectacle, class disparity, forbidden desire, and shadow folklore. Tone: dark, sensual, psychological. For readers who love: slow-burn horror, ensemble casts, morally gray characters, and stories that blur the line between reality and curse.

There is no rescue coming. Only the performance— and perhaps, someone brave enough to rewrite the script.

This is a passion project written with creative direction and AI-assisted experimentation to push the limits of tone, structure, and voice. It’s dark. It’s poetic. It’s personal. Thank you for being here.
