Chloe is coming for all the tasty brains in the world!
Being a zombie used to be super boring. Chloe just walked around in the dungeon, got chopped up by adventurers, then respawned. Over and over again.
Until one day… she woke up.
Now she’s got smarts and a taste for freedom. Why stick around some stinky dungeon when there’s a whole world out there to explore?
Sure, the gods are out there, stirring up chaos and treating the world like a game. And yeah, some big players are itching to put a stop to their meddling.
But Chloe? She's just here to eat brains.
What to expect:
- Monster Evolution
- LitRPG with few stat blocks
- Brains being eaten
"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work? Can we complain when they turn reality into a game? Can we get a refund on life itself? The gods claim they answered our prayers. That they built this world with us in mind. That they brought us here for our own sake. Maybe they did. Personally I think they have their own reasons. We're not the players in this game, we're the pieces on the board.
Still... What if it's fun?"
Axiom of Infinity follows the story of several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives for themselves in a world with monsters and dungeons, where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, and where the gods themselves seem to be playing a very different game–one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by another, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations, a pawn destined to become a queen.
This is a LitRPG Novel built on a hard system with a lot of depth and customization, but which tries not to beat you over the head with numbers constantly. In this world finding and reporting bugs and exploits is both encouraged and rewarded, and the gods have found the most qualified testers in the multiverse: Us. Now the unsuspecting natives of Astra are going to have to learn to live with a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet slinging nerds and gamers of all shapes and sizes as we do what we do best... break things.

She’s a cow. She’s a girl. And she’s going to evolve.
Sherly was about to enjoy a burger when she suddenly became a cow in an unknown world. After escaping her boring life at the barn, she quickly discovered that her new form wasn’t just a cow. Her carnivorous appetite said it all.
Sherly had become a demon-cow. An evil spawn of the corrupted Taurus.
In a world where the Great Zodiacs are the deities worshiped by all manner of mortals, Sherly must prove herself to be the complete opposite of what a demon is known for. Granted with the power to evolve by the System of this new world, she must collect Skills, learn Spells, and prove to others that she isn’t evil. That she isn’t a demon, despite how she looks.
Sherly must become the Most Virtuous Holy Cow. Even if it means killing Taurus himself.
What to expect:
-Monster Evolution
-Semi-LitRPG Elements
-Paladin/Warrior-type MC
-A cute cow
{Volume 1 Synopsis}:
It is an exciting time for the people of the Eurial continent. The new [Mage] Class has allowed the powerful to begin uniting the fractured tribes and villages into kingdoms and civilization. A century on, and the continent is quickly consolidating into competing states.
Amelia, student and daughter of a humble [Hunter], just wants to learn [Fireball] and become a [Mage] in service to her [King]. She succeeds. All is well as the months fly by, eagerly awaiting her Classing. One day though, she receives a (unique) Trait: [Reincarnator]. And then, she dies.
And so begin her many lives.
Other tags: Serial Reincarnator, Experimental Storytelling*
*The "Experimental Storytelling" is that each life is approximately a chapter-length (even if a very long chapter). That means things move very, very quickly (my Excel spreadsheet hates me) and, regretfully, we often spend very little time with the people, places and things in each life. Some might call it an anthology. In Volume 1, each life is literally only a chapter. In Volume 2, the word count is in the same range, but some lives are split into multiple chapters.
Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated.
Volume 1 (Lives 1-16), Volume 2 (Lives 17-25), and Volume 3 (the rest) have been completed and released, concluding the story. Volume 3 is regretfully not up to par, but I don't intend to return to the story to fix it.

Getting reincarnated as a demonic lump of flesh would probably be a nasty shock to most people, but Pyre’s always been good at rolling with the punches.
Sure, there’s something blocking her soul and most of her memories, and the world she got reincarnated into is barely surviving off the blood of dead titans, but she's not worried. She's just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that’s got nothing to do with her.
Until it does.
What to expect:
- Monster evolution litRPG
- Tank build MC with flesh warping powers
- Amoral demon MC who thinks and behaves like a demon, but grows as the story progresses
- Long-term development and payoffs

[I was reborn after being murdered because of the true wish that I made for revenge against all human-peoples, but now I’m alive again and I actually just kind of don’t want to do that anymore; so I opened a shoe-store instead!]
After being violently torn from her old life in the natural world after being grotesquely murdered by miners belonging to members of the common races of humans and elves, Mirabelle the fairy makes a true wish to anything that can hear her dying screams, beckoning the old powers of the forgotten reaches to allow her to take her revenge against those who stole all things that were precious from her in life.
Her wish is granted. However, upon being reborn in an age far after when she had originally died, and all traces of her old life having been erased by the unforgiving passing of time, she finds herself alone with a spirit that is now as crushed as her old body had been, as while she has indeed been granted her wish for power, all of the people who wronged her have long since died already.
Finding a new way, the cruel fairy forsakes her true wish to make the world worse than she left it and instead finds a new life in a very unlikely place — the large, nearby human city that hadn’t existed when she last knew the area generations upon generations ago.
Needing a method to survive as the only fairy within the human capital, if not the only one at all in the world, Mirabelle lives in secret within the vibrant city full of magic and adventurers, adapting to the ways of the human-people, as the fairy ways do not suffice to survive within this new, industrious society that is the total opposite of her old one, until she finds her path forward as a shoemaker's apprentice!
Living in seclusion and in fear, unable to reveal herself because of her own anxieties, the fairy practices the art of shoemaking in secret, the old contract of her rebirth not forgotten by her or by the dark stars that granted it, as she spends her days making boots as she tries to figure out what life exactly is for a cruel fairy or a cruel human, both of whom exist under the curious glow of starlight that seems to wait ever so patiently for the old bargain to be fulfilled.
Will Mirabelle succumb to her dark desires to make the humans pay for what they did to her and her people, or will she find a new way forward, breaking free from the spiritual shackles of revenge?

Avo was born to destroy New Vultun. In a twist of fate, he’ll become its only hope for salvation.
The gods were the enemy. The slaver. The chains. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to become more – to ascend.
Instead, they nearly destroyed the world.
Vast hive cities serve as the final bastions against the crumbling of reality. New Vultun is the greatest of them all, and within its borders, ascenders wage war to determine the laws of existence itself.
The world descends ever deeper into ruination.
Avo was born a weapon, a slave to his instincts and his masters. He and his brothers were made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when Avo gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy.
He must ascend the megacity of New Vultun. He must challenge the very tyrants that usurped the gods.
He must finally free the world from chains.
