Since the time he could swing a sword, Felix has dreamt of becoming a knight.

But part of growing up is realising that some dreams just aren't meant to be.

When Felix sets off on his first adventure, things don't go as planned. His long-cherished dream falls apart in front of his eyes as he realises his destined path lies with the staff instead of the sword.

Felix will need to scramble to pick up the pieces, using his lacklustre talents to forge his dream anew, or his journey will end before it even begins.

Can he find a way to accept his path as a mage and watch his closest friend soar to the heights he always dreamt of?

Or will his rival manage to turn his shattered dreams into chains that bind him to the ground?

There are no easy solutions, no shortcuts on the path to greatness.

Only through the perseverance of an ordinary boy can his extraordinary dreams become a reality.

New chapters on Tuesday and Friday at 12 pm EST, Next chapter on the 17th~

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.

Yuna Torres, a seasoned and sharp-minded professional beta tester, dozed off amidst the gentle hum of her apartment’s console screens—only to awaken in a realm far removed from her reality. To her disbelief, she finds herself embodying Morwynn Glacier, the long-forgotten avatar she once created as a teenager in an old fantasy video game.

Sprout & Sorcery.

Now adrift in a world both wondrous and terrifying, Yuna—no, Morwynn—must navigate the uncanny lands of memory turned real. Her mind spins with questions, her heart pounds with disbelief. But one goal burns brightly amidst the fog of confusion: escape. And the only way out?

Defeat the Lich King.

A tyrant draped in shadows, a sorcerer of death and steel—he is the last boss, the final trial, and the ruler of all despair.

»You have been granted the Glacier System«

• Congratulations… You have reached the next level.

A character-driven fairy tale fantasy in which underpowered protagonists defeat enormous foes using cunning and ingenuity.

Fen is a young princess in hiding from the murderous rage of her grandfather. Tamberlyn is a poet of no particular skill or talent. Taliette is an indolent psychopath who spends her days tormenting servant girls.

But the old king is coming across the great divide, trailing giant monsters in his wake. Coming to burn Fen in the flame everlasting, and who will stand against him?

"It is truly beautifully written and original. It promises Pat Rothfuss, and it delivers Pat Rothfuss but shrouded in darkness and making you cry over goats." - PolinkaP (Into the Deep Wood)

Now optioned as an audiobook by Tantor! Expect the first volume on audio mid 2025!

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.

A contemporary young man finds himself transported to imperial China as a low-level clerk amidst the civil service exams. While acting as a vengeance demon on behalf of his vessel, he comes to grips with some demons of his own. Sometimes, a change of scenery can prove therapeutic.

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.

Disgraced and disillusioned, a young girl finds herself at a crossroads. Should she avenge the past or build towards the future? And what is she willing to give up along the way? Friends and foe each present their thoughts. Seems like everyone has an opinion these days.

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.

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.

Average chapter length is 3k, and it will get longer.

UPDATES: M-F

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.

**He wasn’t born—he was made. ** Igor is a hybrid of human and vampire, genetically engineered and unaware of his true age. Memories that shouldn’t exist are bleeding through, fragments of a past he can’t control.

Caught between obedience and instinct, he must navigate a world where every shadow hides manipulation, every bond risks betrayal, and his own body could turn against him.

In a mansion of secrets, a greenhouse of fragile life, and the lingering ghosts of the past, survival means confronting what he was built to be—and who he wants to become.

Updates Thursdays at 7:05 pm EST.

In a world reshaped by the System, Cassio Vale was passed over three separate times. On his final chance, the System finally responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright.

Tasked with drafting and assigning Quests in a world where survival is dependent on structure as much as strength, Cass must build his reputation from nothing, gain experience through smart delegation, and navigate a society held together by more than just blades.

He doesn't always wield a weapon. He doesn't cast spells. But with each successful task, each connection made, and each system mastered, he'll make the world just a little bit safer.

One Quest at a time.

Slow-building Mastery.

Logistics Puzzles.

Progressive Impact.

City-level Strategy.

Occasional Combat Scenarios

QuestWright is a grounded LitRPG with slice-of-life elements and realistic progression. Cassio Vale isn't a fighter; he's a QuestWright, building a better future through logistics, leadership, and lived-in service. The story and his role will evolve as things continue.

Experience comes from completion, while Reputation comes from results.

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.

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.

When an older boy is lost in the forest, Oli is the one who gets the blame. Though he is truthful about what he saw, it’s hard to make others believe him when they are lying to themselves. His parents want to hide their own secrets, and his tribe wants to protect itself by rewriting the past. 

Oli strikes out alone to find Ingo and put an end to the rumours whispered behind his back. He embarks on an adventure that forces him to question everything he knew. As he unearths the secrets of his family and his own life, he finds they are connected to the history of the forest and the future of his tribe. 

Meanwhile, beyond the borders of the isolated forest, the cunning leader of a godless republic has designs of conquest. Advocate Demetos has waited his whole life for an opportunity to defeat the Western King. The final ingredient he requires lies in a mysterious forest of magical creatures and primitive tribes. But as he arrives to claim his prize, something else is stirring at the heart of the ancient woodland. 

What to expect:

A large fantasy world with multiple POV characters, but rooted initially in one familiar setting which gradually broadens out.

Character development which sees young characters grow in confidence and strength.

Relationships and friendships which evolve as the story moves forward.

Updates at twice a week

The hourglass breaks, the debt comes due—will fate claim you, or will you break through?

Cassian’s days were filled with petty quarrels and quiet moments with his mother—until the doorbell rang. What should have been another ordinary evening turned to horror as her laughter twisted into a desperate scream. In an instant, her life was stolen. And with it, his own.

But death is not the end. In the silence that followed, an ancient voice called out, pulling Cassian’s shattered soul from the abyss. With it came a second chance—and the means to claim power. But power never comes without a price. And soon, Cassian must decide just how much he’s willing to pay.

Now bound by time, every second is a countdown to his end. The clock ticks away his borrowed time, forcing him into a cosmic game where he is mere entertainment for higher beings. But if he survives, he may gain untold powers—enough to take back what was stolen and make them all pay.

Life was stolen, time was rewound—will you rise or stay Timebound?

What to expect:

❂ Deckbuilding LitRPG with Time ticking down

❂ Third person

❂ There will likely be some romance in the future. No harem

❂ Complex Worldbuilding (Multiple Story levels)

❂ A Tapestry of Characters (Main focus on MC)

❂ A Competent MC

❂ STATS and unique Deckbuilding system with references to MTG

This story is a healthy blend of ORV, The Devils Cage and MTG

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.

CelestOS: Thank you for choosing Celestitech, where your survival is our third highest priority!

Ethan Cross wasn't supposed to be on this mission. He snuck aboard the doomed vessel, desperate to find his fiancée, Maria, only to crash-land on an uncharted alien world. Now he's got nothing but a basic omni-tool, a shredded suit, and the sarcastic company AI, CelestOS-4-2, whispering performance evaluations in his ear.

The official mission was simple: find the Veslaya research team—the team Maria was on—and recover valuable data. But the world has changed. The environment is hostile, the wildlife is worse, and the remnants of something ancient—and dangerous—ripple beneath the surface.

To survive, Ethan must rebuild from scrap, fight evolving alien threats, and uncover the truth behind the mission that was never meant to succeed. With every base he constructs and every battle he wins, he inches closer to finding Maria—the only reason he risked everything, and the only thing that still matters now.

Time is running out. Resources are scarce. And something is watching.

**Please note: **The Admiral and the Assistant will be stubbing 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!

Four years ago, the System arrived and rewrote the rules of survival, progress, and technology. Humanity adapted, unlocking passive skills, reshaping society, and reaching for the stars. But with a hard level 60 cap and only TL8 tech, the Solar System has become a cage.

Now, for the first time, humanity is stepping beyond it.

Luca Rossi and his young, ambitious crew board the Triumph of Darron, one of Earth’s first FTL ships, bound for Alpha Centauri. Their mission? Explore the uncharted, document its mysteries, and uncover what the System hasn’t told them. But beyond the mission log, it’s a chance to break free; to discover alien worlds, ancient secrets, dangerous portals, and maybe even themselves.

This isn’t just about space. It’s about twenty-somethings on the edge of the unknown, navigating life, love, and survival in deep space. Expect messy relationships, hard choices, and a journey where every discovery, out there or within, has a price.

What to Expect:

-- Disclaimer: The story builds very slowly as our main character eventually matures. He is portrayed for what he is, a young, hormonal tween experiencing freedom for the first time. The story is meant to be raunchy at the beginning. If this is not your cup of tea, then it may be worth skipping. --

🚀 Slow-Burn Progression – The story builds up, but trust me, it gets good.

🌌 Exploration & Adventure – Alien ecosystems, volatile portals, and deep-space survival.

📖 A Personal, Raw POV – Told through Luca’s unfiltered, messy, and emotional lens.

🛠 Lite LitRPG – Passive skills that shape survival, combat, and life aboard the ship.

💡 Slice of Life in Space – Crew bonding, relationships, and figuring out adulthood at FTL speeds.

🔥 Fluid Relationships – No harem, just playful dynamics in a tight-knit crew.

Inspired by: GURPS, X4 Foundation, Eve Online, MOO, Stellaris, No Man’s Sky.

Join the crew of the Triumph of Darron. Humanity’s greatest adventure is only just beginning.

When the System Apocalypse hits, Jane finds herself more and more in the role of a “Mary Sue”. What is going on that makes her that special…or is it really all about her?

Ready to propose to Livia, her long-time girlfriend, Jane wakes up to humanity being digitised into an alien computer system. She seems to be the only person to notice, and when the System starts to manifest for people, the only one to question it. When the System seems to bend backwards to fulfil her every wish, giving her extra powers and surrounding her with a harem, she plays along, ready to grab at any straw to find out what really is going on.

---

“Livia and Me” is a slow-burn System Apocalypse story following the life of Jane, a 21-year-old bisexual. It includes characters from the whole LBGTQ+ “letter salad” (even a straight side character or two), many of whom come with traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental abuse, etc.) weighing them down.

Content warning:

• Traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental sexual abuse, etc.) in the backstory of characters. These are referred to in the story and in various way, including grapic descriptions.
• Includes characters admitting they weren't virgins when they turned 18.
• Note: Only one character is younger than 18 during the events of the story; she's 17y364d12h when she joins the story. Bonus chapters do include flashbacks, but no depictions of sexual activity.
• Includes themes of mind control, including for characters who engage in adult activities.
• Includes characters who have wrong opinions.
• Includes evil characters doing evil things.

Growing up in the turbulent 1930s, Oliver Evans and his fellow orphans are spared a desperate existance in an overcrowded orphanage when he awakens as a Craftsman while trying to clean a stain in the bathroom. His awakening reveals a secret world in the heart of Manhattan that nobody knew existed.

Welcome to Metem; an elaborate world of danger, magic, and mystery. Where adventurers whisper of shadows and slay monsters for levels and loot.

With a broken interface and an unresponsive log out phrase; Cory has decisions to make.  Decisions like: is this real life, is this just fantasy?  Queen lyrics aside, our MC sobers up in an empty stone chamber with four mirrors, simulating pre-game character selection. In the hopes that the system will correct itself and let him exit, Cory sets out to explore this new land.

After enough bumps, bruises, and self-deprecation Cory needs to accept this new reality in the hope that he can make his way home.

Follow Cory as he is pulled into Metem and starts his journey with the familiar taste of rock bottom. Reluctantly, he moves forward into a deluge of unforgiving encounters, dynamic personas, and formidable quests; all in a vain attempt to survive.

Is he competent? Mostly. Is he mature? Kind of. Will he be able to complain his way out of this one? Probably not, but dammit he’ll try.

What to Expect:

No Murderhobo

Often described as a gateway drug to litRPG—well, eventually... hopefully

Has an ending. I told my wife and she cried; I promise.

A lot of world building for the first 30 chapters or so

Relatively slow-burn

Expect stats to grow with story

Author’s Note:

Book one is complete: (TBC) The Blind Chemist

Book two: (BCB) The Ballad of Cici Beo

Dane always knew the System played favorites, but he never thought he’d be blacklisted. When his integration fails, leaving him statless, skill-less, and one bad decision away from freezing to death, he does what any reasonable person would do.

He makes a deal with a demon. Now wielding a Warlock class fueled by sacrifice, he needs to survive the Incursion - a war for dominance over a newly integrated world. The Imperial Army, led by Prince Xeroc and his High-Blood nobles, are here to claim the land for themselves. The Aji-Abami, a brutal race of dog-like warriors, don’t plan to let them. And the native telepaths watching from the shadows? They’re playing a game no one else understands. Dropped into hostile territory with enemies on all sides, Dane must fight, adapt, and outthink everyone just to stay alive. And with the System’s final activation looming, the battlefield is about to change - permanently. His mission? Survive. Gather enough Deeds to solidify his place in the System. Avoid signing any more contracts with demons. Easier said than done. For fans of gritty LitRPGs, dark fantasy survival, and main characters who refuse to die quietly, Incursion is an unforgiving, fast-paced adventure with no respawns and no second chances - only the cold, hard grind toward power. War is coming. And Dane? He’s might just emerge from the shadows stronger than them all.

Bloodfyre

Awakening in a deadly dungeon with no memories and three lives to survive, Jackson Grey discovers his hidden vampyric nature. As his thirst for blood grows, so does his power—but so do the dangers that hunt him.

When all is lost, Jackson must embrace what he truly is and unleash abilities beyond imagination. But power always comes with a price, and the hunger that drives him might be more dangerous than any monster lurking in the shadows.

Some thirsts can never be quenched. Some hungers never satisfied.

Will Jackson escape the dungeon, or will he become the very monster he fears?

“You wanted to know who Risha is? Risha is a Grand Mother. Risha is an Empress. Risha is a hunter.”

Born the smallest, and weakest of goblins, Risha worked hard to stay alive. A servant to the orc overseers, and an evolution away from becoming that which she hated, Risha never gave up. She hunted her own food, and overcame every challenge that blocked her path.

Until she was thrown into the pit.

Left to the mercy of the orc warbeasts, Risha should have died. But again, she came out on top, only to disappoint the overseer by staying a goblin instead of evolving into an orc.

When Risha refused evolution, the system took notice, and it watched her.

There was more to Risha than met the eye, and when her opportunity came, she took it.

Raku, a battle-hardened mercenary, never expected a rescue mission to save someone from a sinister cult to lead them to a succubus—wingless, broken, and starving. Bound together by fate, the two must navigate a volatile connection built on trust, desire, and vulnerability.

As their mutual hunger—both physical and emotional—pulls them closer, Raku and the succubus explore the transformative power of intimacy while battling the scars of their pasts. Wingless is a sensual tale of love, healing, and rediscovering yourself in the arms of someone just as broken.

Always remember: This is a love story.

What to expect

— This story contains some sensitive topics and events, and will feature the occasional trigger warning where I deem it necessary

— A mix of action, romance, slice of life and pure spice

— A story about healing from trauma, learning to trust again and learning to live with your scars

— A variety of both low-sci-fi and fantasy elements packed into a mostly modern-day world

— A very queer cast. Gay people everywhere wooooo

Bratty kids. Overbearing parents. Unsupportive administration. To Basque, it's all part of the job. As a teacher, he'd seen it all.

Or so he thought.

Psychotic students. Emotionally devoid parents. An administration that measures success by survival rate? That's what awaited Basque at Dyntril Academy, a place where the "retention rate" isn't the number of dropouts, but a body count.

A renowned hunter in his own right, Basque is also a brilliant teacher, churning out master hunter after master hunter, which made him an excellent candidate to evaluate a potential ally's education system. But when he arrives, Basque is told that he'll be teaching the lowest level of students for the next five years. Now Basque must juggle his responsibilities as a foreign ambassador while trying to keep his students alive until graduation.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Yani: monsters that flay and devour anyone unlucky enough to cross their path—the very monsters the school claims to train students to fight.

Just what sort of hellhole was he sent to?

“Stole a staff? Me? Pfft. No. This is… uh, family heirloom. Passed down. Very magical. Very legal.”

Meet Vaelira. Ice mage. Adventurer. Definitely didn’t steal her master’s staff. (Okay, maybe she did. But she had reasons.)

She left home to prove herself—and maybe freeze a few things on purpose. So far? She’s frozen her boots to the ground, scared off a rabbit with an ice spike, and gotten kicked out of at least one village.

But every misfire is a lesson. Every awkward success is a win. And with a sarcastic ranger at her side and a dream too big to abandon,

Vaelira is determined to become the great mage she swears she is. One spell at a time. Preferably without freezing anyone else.

The Heart of the Northwind series blends fantasy comedy with old-school adventure — messy spells, stubborn heroes, and just enough sword & sorcery to keep things exciting.

On the eve of his 15th birthday, Corvan discovers a small stone hammer buried beneath his backyard fort. The hammer opens hidden doors and reveals family secrets. When his best friend Kate is taken prisoner, Corvan will leave his small town to rescue her, but first he must make an uneasy alliance with the guardian of the labyrinth.

BACKGROUND INFO

As a child of the 1960’s, I set out to write a retro science-fantasy adventure. Emulating vintage portal fiction such as “Stranger from the Depths” (1967) this subterranean adventure takes place in real space and time; a midwest mining town in 1952.

Love interests reflect the historical time frame and the young age of the MC’s. The content warning relates to the addictive properties of a substance found in the Cor and how that impacts the teen MC and others. This subplot becomes more intense in book II.

To preserve the reader experience, I intentionally keep author notes to a bare minimum. A.I. is not used in writing or artwork. At present, chapters are posted on weekends as I am working on setting up my Patreon pages. Thanks for your understanding.

In this fast-paced, horror-comedy progression fantasy, terminal cancer patient Henry Collins is transported to a land plagued by deadly mists that warp reality and turn people into monsters. But the mists don't just distort the world around you; they invade your mind. Drawing out your deepest fears and darkest memories, they blend them with reality until you're left questioning what is real. As he battles both his illness and the mists’ terrifying horrors, Henry discovers a cruel twist: the stronger he becomes, the more nightmarish his enemies grow. Henry is haunted by a sinister question as he and his neurotic ally Elara navigate this hellish landscape: Do the mists create these monsters, or are they only revealing the evils that have been inside all along? What to expect: -Isekai -Spoons! -Progression Fantasy

-Horror -Black Comedy -Weak to strong protagonist.

-A cloud cuckoo lander companion that is sometimes more horrifying than the monsters! -Daily updates during writathon twice a week after.

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.

Xianxia Meets Modern Weaponry (Powered by runic magic!)

High-Octane Action and Hilarious Moments

A Tiger Cub So Cute, She’ll Steal Your Heart

[Epic Romantic Fantasy]

Deadwood 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.

Five years ago, Octavia lost her beloved sister, a talented violinist, under uncertain circumstances. Now, unwilling to accept her sister’s fate, a chance encounter with a strange dream, a violin she’d long thought lost, and a young flutist with inexplicable abilities thrusts her headfirst into the mystical world of Maestros--musicians with incredible powers. In tandem with her newfound knowledgeable companion, Viola, their goals are twofold and mutual: uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Octavia’s sister and eradicate the agony-born forces of Dissonance that silently plague the world unseen.

Their trials require helping hands, whom they discover in ways more than unusual--Madrigal, a beacon of hospitality with a heroine complex; Harper, an orphan with a devotion to kindness and protecting others; and Renato, a rebellious thrill-seeker who seems to adore trouble. Together, their eccentric team must work to delve into the depths of the Maestro world, one step at a time.

For better or worse, their encounters lead them to cities concealing dark secrets, a cultural institution harboring more than meets the eye, and fleeting meetings with the ambiguous restoration aficionado, Alessandro Drey. As her newfound powers blossom and her Maestro world widens, Octavia may not always enjoy the truths she uncovers--or the heinous decisions she’s forced to make.

THE NEXUS AWAKENING

In a world on the brink of transformation, Varus Thorne lived an ordinary life building houses for other families while cherishing his own. One night changed everything.

When the Flux, a mysterious energy connecting all living things, awakens on Earth, it brings with it monstrous creatures, devastating disasters, and the sudden collapse of society. For most, it means death. For some, it grants incredible power.

For Varus, it brings only loss.

Rescued by Lady Vash Acaelus, a representative of the enigmatic Nyxen who claim to master the Flux, Varus is taken to their world to become an initiate in their deadly games. With a mechanical respirator sustaining his damaged lungs and a crimson-cored blade in his hand, he must navigate treacherous alliances, collect ancient seals, and unlock the secrets of his own bloodline.

But as Varus grows stronger, developing abilities no initiate should possess, he uncovers fragments of truth about the Nyxen and their real interest in him. Their intentions are darker than he imagined, and the voice calling to him through the Flux offers both answers and power.

In this Star Wars-inspired LitRPG apocalypse, one man's quest for vengeance will either fulfill an ancient prophecy or destroy what remains of both worlds.

Power is a path paved with sorrow. His began with blood and screams. It will end with something far worse.

A harvest so great it’ll be the death of them.

Magic has never given the village elder Fregnite Freetrade anything except slavery and starvation. Summer heat brings back memories of hunger in the dark, even though the village has more wheat than they can eat. With animals dying, bandits circling and townspeople mysteriously weak, is it too much to ask for the world to leave him in peace?

At least wizard Ashley Emberweave thinks it is. She’s desperately searching for new runes to repair magic that has been shattered. Her quest takes her to a village that hates magic and distrust her because of foreign looks—a village now teetering on the edge of destruction.

Together, they might just be able to save the village and make peace with their past… if they don’t kill each other first.

Genres: Fantasy, Comedy, Slice of Life, Mystery, and a bit of... Horror?

Time has run out for V, as an outcast goblin she must find her place in the warren or have it decided for her. Pushed from her malaise, she is drawn to and marked by the divine flame. Her nightmare becomes a source of strength. Wielding this strange gift, V takes her first steps into a dangerous world. Goblin intrigue, cruel human adventurers, ancient dungeons and strange magic await. Can a weak goblin survive on hope and pluck alone, or must it be earned in blood?

What to expect:

• Goblin MC who must get proactive and competent to survive in a dangerous world.

• Slow, but steady progression-focused high fantasy

• LitRPG elements not prominently displayed. System based on D&D 5e.

“Hey. Wanna buy a dungeon?”

Kai looked up at the human salesman. He looked down at himself. At the salesman. At himself. At the salesman. In a tone that clearly asked, ‘Are you stupid?, he stated, “I’m a gremlin.”

“Don’t you worry, sir. This here is a contract for purchase with payments deferred, with annual sums owing as a percentage of revenue. A starter plan for the discerning gentleman dungeon master.”

Torn from a boring and unfulfilling human life on Earth, Kai was mysteriously sent to a new world and transformed into a gremlin for…reasons. He hasn’t figured that part out yet, but he sure as heck is going to punch whoever’s responsible in the frickin’ face one day. He’s also going to do just about whatever it takes to become human again.

When a super shady salesman appears out of nowhere, offering to sell him a magical dungeon core with no down payment and no money upfront, a deal seemingly too good to be true, he’s starving at the time and more interested in the edible signing bonus. But when he finally gets around to planting the core, he truly is the proud new owner of a dungeon. Well, the start of one. He’s gonna have to level the puck out of it. If he gets it to 100 floors, the gods will grant any wish.

Follow Kai as he builds the coolest, deadliest, most fun dungeon ever, with traps and treasures, monsters and mayhem. Even more importantly, filling it with a ragtag community of misfits and outsiders who come together to support each other and thrive. Maybe even teach them how to play hockey.

Along the way, he might just learn a few things about life and how to make the most of it.

What to expect:

- Gamelit (levelling unlocks more dungeon and abilities, but no personal stats)

- Non-OP protagonist who starts weak but occasionally kicks ass

- Some dark humour

- Bad guys getting what’s coming to them

- The power of friendship!

Expanding a chain of shrines to the Goddess of Love while building a harem of quirky beings and enjoying a surprisingly active love life? Not exactly what Nora had on her five-year career plan as a software developer racing toward another deadline. But everything changed when her dreams filled with vivid, enticing encounters that felt impossibly real.

In just a few weeks, she finds herself transported to a magical world complete with a flirtatious foxkin companion and an entire settlement of people looking to her for leadership. As if that weren't complicated enough, she's apparently the Chosen One of the Goddess of Love—whatever that means.

One consequence becomes clear immediately: her lengthy dry spell of romantic seclusion is definitely over!

But what does the Goddess truly want from Nora? And where will this journey lead the Chosen One and her growing circle of devoted followers? That's a path we'll have to explore together!

What to expect?

• Slow release. This is one of the projects I'm working on. So, at least for the foreseeable future, there rarely would be more than one chapter per week.
• Female MC
• Chapter length: 2,000—3,000 words
• Reverse harem, why choose, polyamory, multiple relationships
• Many characters besides the MC. And there will be romantic relationships between at least some of them
• Explicit content (FF, FM, MM, FFM, fantasy races, etc.). Only consensual. If you feel uncomfortable with any of that, there are many other books worth reading :)

Atlas Zeb has lived his entire life in poverty. It's hard for an orphan to make ends meet, but his one out is the Mantle Trial where he could be bestowed with the power to become an Adventurer and fight the monsters in the dungeon instead of just picking up the crystals left behind for others. But the world of Adventurers is not the easy life that he'd thought it was. Can he navigate this new world or will he be another casualty for history to forget?

What to Expect:

[+] First-person perspective of a male MC

[+] Weak to strong VERY slowburn progression

[+] Atlas is a guy who starts with nothing and has very little initial agency. This is a series about finding a voice and coming into power without becoming a monster like the ones who currently rule.

[+] This is a HAREM series. Specifically a fade-to-black one. Also, don't expect every woman that's introduced to join Atlas' harem.

[+] Short chapters. ~800-word average.

Hey there!

Just a heads-up—this isn't a serious web novel. Instead, it's a collection of short stories, poems, songs, experimental writing, worldbuilding snippets, and other creative odds and ends. Think of it as a mix of ideas, styles, and stories, all gathered in one place.

I'll do my best to label each piece clearly—[POEM] for poems, [STORY] for stories, and so on. Hope you enjoy all these wierd bits and bobs!

Ripped from his home and taken to a different world, James Holter finds himself sharing his body with a mysterious foreign spirit. Armed with only himself and the help of new friends, he must survive the dangers of Valenfrost. Amidst marauders and grotesque abominations lurking at every turn, the man from Earth will go through tribulations, endure trials, and face the daunting shadow of war. Can James defy the odds and emerge triumphant in the icy grip of Valenfrost, or will he become just another frozen corpse, a mere echo of countless others who came before him?

What to expect:

1. Weak Protagonist
2. Horror elements
3. Slow progression
4. Multiple POV shifts
5. And a dash of romance

Glitched stats. Ultra luck. Regression foreknowledge. A god's blessing. Dual minds.

Lee Castillo has none of these. He does, however, have panic attacks.

When every human around the world is registered as a "player," Lee is sitting across from his ex-best friend and flatmate, Axel, mentally practicing how to break it to him that he wanted to move out.

System Loaded. Dungeons Active

Now, Axel's personality has flipped on its head, all comms are down, and there's a foreign desire compelling Lee to enter the Dungeons despite his lacklustre system stats.

As he delves into the secrets of the Dungeons alongside his increasingly bizarre party, Lee must confront both his past and future to divine what he truly wants.

What to expect:

1. First-person perspective with a genre blind MC
2. Features diverse, queer cast
3. Slow MM allo/ace romance as a central pillar of the story—becoming a large focus in Act II
4. Silly and inane conversations
5. Mature and sensitive topics
6. Low crunch LitRPG; used as a platform to explore characters
7. Slow progression and system mechanics explained as story unfolds
8. Chapter parts of 2k to 4k released twice a week (Sun/Wed 8pm EST)

Inspired by ORV, The S-Classes I Raised, SSS-Class Suicide Hunter, Survival of a Sword King, and Dungeon Reset, Dungeon Hunter is basically my response to other MCs and their ride-or-die besties never canonically falling for each other. The story also asks the question: Is a main character made or born?

---

[Act I has been edited, remastered, and published and is purchasable on multiple platforms. It is not available on KU because I disagree with their exclusivity and their practices on a whole. I have not stubbed this because I understand some people don't have the extra cash for leisure items. The published version is just better.]

Zephyr didn't mean to make a deal with werewolf god.

He was just trying to escape the Stag’s Court, his vampire ex-girlfriend, and a future soaked in other people’s blood. Instead, he ended up marked by a silent, ancient deity with a fondness for destruction—and, unfortunately, turned into a werewolf himself.

Now Zephyr’s doing his best to pass as a mostly-normal student mage at the Midnight Court. That would be easier if Aries de la Fel weren’t here too: arrogant, insufferable, and unfortunately… Zephyr’s type. With just enough royal blood to make things complicated.

But between forbidden grimoires, magical duels, full moons, and feelings Zephyr absolutely does not have the bandwidth for, it’s getting harder to outrun the past—or the god who still wants something from him.

He’s not sure what’s more dangerous: the curse, the Court, or falling in love. But something is going to break. And Zephyr is trying very hard to make sure it’s not him.

Magic is hard. Feelings are harder. Werewolves? Don’t ask.

Readers can expect:

• Slow burn queer romance (with a bite)

• Gothic magic university with a side of monster court politics

• Morally complicated characters making emotionally complicated choices

• A brooding bisexual werewolf protagonist who thinks he's the problem (he's right)

• Dreamwalking exes, weird magic, and very bad gods

• Found family, forced proximity, major angst, & openly gay characters

• Kissing, clawing, and the occasional magical disaster

When the day of the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity.

After all, she never fit in with the other archfiends. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too... nice.

She was supposed to study humanity to help her learn to destroy it. Instead, she fell in love with it. She knows that Earth is where she really belongs.

But as she tears her way through the tutorial, recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don’t trust her.

Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart]. But that doesn’t make her evil—it just means that every enemy drops an extra health potion!

Yes, her [Vampiric Archfiend] race and [Bloodfire Annihilator] class sound a little intimidating, but surely even the purehearted can agree that some things should be purged by fire!

And [Demonic Summoning] can’t be all that evil if the ancient demonic entity that you summon takes the form of a cute, sassy cat!

It may take her a little work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic: eventually, the humans will see that she’s here to help. After all, she has an important secret to tell them:

Hell is afraid of humanity.
