Marco trained his whole life for one thing: to become a captain.
He maxed every childhood achievement the System would let him, from diving to rigging to outrunning couriers up mountains. But when classing day finally comes, the system doesn’t just make him a captain. It makes him a Gluttonous Marauder.
On the plus side, it’s a unique class with combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain material. On the negative side, it comes with a reputation so bad he’s arrested on the spot.
Now on the run in a barely seaworthy smuggler’s dinghy, Marco sets out to prove he’s not the villain they think he is. Unfortunately, he first needs to out-sail bounty hunters, survive cursed dungeons, and feed enough victories to his ever-growing ship to outrun every danger thrown his way.
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather, preparing his retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans…
Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless; but when the choice was between that and death, he was more willing to take that deal.
Now, stranded in a new world, alone with no support, surrounded by people with treating him like a commodity, he must choose.
Toe the line…
Or, once again, create his own path…
—
And then, there was this mysterious system, calling him a hero… What a ridiculous idea.
...
Now, updated 4 chapters a week. Current schedule is Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn’t know how right he was.
Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires unexpectedly find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight.
Much to the chagrin of Marcus—the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them.
But taking over the world is not so easy. In order to stake their claim, the Legion will need to learn how to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Abilities which, upon closer inspection, may prove the seed for a legend in the making…
The dawn of a new empire looms on the horizon. Rome will rise anew as they seize cities, battle armies, and expand their territory across this strange and fantastical world. All the while, Marcus will need to figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world. That, or simply enjoy the front row seat to an epic in the making. Someone will need to tell the story, and who better aside from him?
The die has been cast. The aqueducts are being built. And Rome will once more see glory.
[Action + System + Comedy + MC teaches protagonist disciples + Isekai + Cultivation]
While I wondered why the fender of a nice Cooper was growing bigger, fate spun elsewhere, and I woke up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation!
And, of course, there's a system: one that allows me to create any martial art that I can imagine... provided I have enough Creation Points.
And my first disciple just so happens to be a reincarnated monster from 10,000 years ago with an incurable poison that I can cure with my custom creation?
Hey, this can be fun--nope, it's terrifying! The reputation of the guy I took over is just... it's the worst! Not only do I have to raise disciples to earn Creation Points to raise more disciples, I also have to rehabilitate the image that not even the best PR team on Earth could rehabilitate!
These really are some crappy starting circumstances...
Sable didn’t know what she had expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard hadn’t been it.
And sure, she’s been thrust into a magic-crammed fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, but things aren’t all great, here. There’s hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal legion of undead to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms who want the first dragon in centuries to be offed sooner than yesterday—except they’re too busy warring with each other to spare the resources.
Good for her?
And what’s up with the [Levels], [Classes], and [Skills] stuff? Specifically, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats. She gets stronger the more gold she has? The more people are terrified of her? No wonder the human kingdoms want her head on a spike, with motivations like those. Dragons in the past must have been seriously unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less … evil … ways to progress?
What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be? Protection in exchange for tithes, and campaigns to make her seem scarier than she is?
That would make her a politician, wouldn’t it? A giant flying lizard politician.
When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is presented with a chance to live life better in a new world. However, due to some godly negligence and terrible luck, his arrival does not go as planned. Having acquired overwhelming power, he has to confront a familiar question. How should I live my life?
This story is heavily influenced by Japanese light novels in regards to fast progression, overpowered protagonist, and hidden protagonist tropes.
As a heads up, this story is intended to be, above all else, fun. It does not take itself too seriously. My goal is to share my love of the genre tropes to make you smile and laugh.
The update schedule is "when I can, but it's still active."
Since this has become something of a minor issue, if you see this story anywhere other than royal road or scribblehub, I didn't post it. Please consider going to my patreon and supporting my work directly!
The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest.
Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion.
Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn’t ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn’t matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage; Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn’t starting now.
He was already a god; now, he’ll have to become the god.
Updates twice a week (2500/3000 words chapters) on Tuesday and Saturday. Contains deckbuilding LitRPG elements and a tactical-oriented System, a god who knows what he's doing (sometimes), base-building, and a colorful cast of mortal champions.
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.
"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.
