Synopsis

Rebecca of Caroline, known to her family as “Beks”, spent two decades preparing to become a tool for the kingdom as the Queen’s foster daughter and as the child “destined to bring the kingdom to prosperity”, but twenty years of meticulous planning begin to falter after the Queen dies and the role she has been prepared for starts to slip away.

However, she made a promise to the dying Queen.

“If my sons are unable, you must ensure the stability of the kingdom. No matter what personal cost, the kingdom must come first. Swear to me.”

The promise becomes difficult to keep when a new oracle appears, foster brothers go missing, and the kingdom she was trained to support since age three uses her and her family as a scapegoat.

If she’s going to ensure the stability of the kingdom, she may just have to retake it.

But before she can, she needs to survive.

Formerly titled Transmigrating Into the Main Character's Political Rival

Kayla is a burned-out college graduate who's neck-deep in student debt, stuck in a minimum-wage job, and about to be evicted from her apartment. One morning, she abruptly wakes up in the body of a short-lived villain from a web novel set in Ancient China. Now, Kayla has to deal with living in the body of a man while trying to survive as the doomed political rival of the Seventh Prince. She'd rather roll over and play dead than take on a fight, but fate and the Imperial family seem to have different plans for her. Caught in a web of political intrigue and backstabbing amidst a succession struggle between the Imperial Princes, it will take Kayla every ounce of wit she has to stay alive.

A political fantasy set in Ancient Chinese with elements of magic, transmigration, and time travel. Updated irregularly.

Medea Malfoy Lives Again

★ 4.67

alloralee

Medea hated Harry Potter. The books, not the person. Or rather, Medea read the books under duress when she was alive elsewhere and now that she’s here she hates Harry Potter. The books, and somewhat the person.

After an untimely demise, Medea wakes up once again -to the sound of screaming babies and a pale haired family.

Reborn June 5th, 1980, Medea is now Medea Malfoy. She once again had an annoying twin. Fortunately, she knows the way this world works. And she knows the Malfoys turn out fine in the end.

She’s wealthy, loved, and utterly unmoved by the plot.

Now she’s simply trying to save her family from the discomfort of having Death Eaters commandeer their living room -and she refuses to let the Boy Who Lived take her Dobby!

Medea doesn’t want to be a hero. Fortunately, saving her family will require her to be a villain.

Demesne

Shadow Crystal Mage

A (NOT LitRPG) fantasy comedy, slow-burn, detail-oriented, slice-of-life town-building Dungeon story where no numbers go up!

Out on the frontier of a new continent, the wizard Lori and her group of settlers try to build a community for themselves in a land actively hostile to intelligent life. With their wits, their will, and their newly built Dungeon to protect them against the Iridescence, the deadly growth that makes life inhospitable beyond the borders of their demesne, they should be fine. If they can survive the lack of infrastructure. And the deadly beasts they need to hunt for food. And idiots who don't get exactly what having to settle somewhere entails. And dragons...

Using structural engineering, the scientific method, the comparative advantages of stone and ice as building materials, logistics, the dark and terrible art of personnel management (outsourced to more experienced individuals), and her own magic and experience, Lori and her newly dubbed lord Rian must face the persistent problems of shelter, sanitation, drinking water, morale, transport, food storage, material collection and refinement, and keeping horny idiots from fucking everywhere they shouldn't.

Hopefully, she can solve these problems before winter arrives so she can get to work on taxation.

Even that last one. Though if they try to do it in her room again, she will not be responsible for her actions...

A girl abandoned in the mountains, without memories or a note, her people the stuff of legends, but whose villages have never been found.

Queen of Swords

Lucendi

Derrick Johansen had been preparing to buckle down for the afternoon with a nice enjoyable game Crusader Kings II. Never in his wildest dreams had he been expecting to end up in the place of the ruler he had chosen when he started the game.

Theoretically, this wouldn't be too bad, trading modern amenities for the life of royalty/nobility.

Of course, that's if he had picked someone with immense power like the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire, or some random count in a stable part of Europe for a simpler life.

Of course though, he had to have gone and chosen young Queen Isabella II of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, right at the tail end of the Fifth Crusade when she was only eight years old. All because he thought it'd have been an 'interesting and fun challenge' to try and subvert her fate in history.

Now he has to do it for real and reality is far different from the games. If he doesn't want to end up as the historical footnote she ended up becoming, he'll need to weave his way through a world seemingly set to prevent the rise of someone exactly like Isabella.

How hard could it be?

“9… 8…. 7… 6…. 5…. 4…. 3…. 2… 1!”

She stepped forward. Throwing a “SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!” in the loudest voice she could manage towards the pilot, she ran towards the edge and jumped, unaware of what a big, fat lie those words would turn out to be.

— — —

Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, was a Special Agent of the Third Eye Agency, an intelligence agency that operates worldwide to ensure peace and order, no matter the means. On a mission, she finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world.

First order of things. Steal some appropriate clothes.

Second order of things. Find out where you are.

Third order of things. Try to find …. Wait, is that a half-dead child in the alleyway? What the heck?

The boy looks on the verge of death. She cannot bring herself to leave the child alone. It’s fine. She will still find a way back. She will still go back home. She will just take the little bun with her.

Or so she thought until the little bun caught the eyes of some very important people.

Turns out, the little bun is a Prince. And his father wants him at the Palace. But hell would freeze over before Samaya let anyone take her child from her.

This is the story of a woman who is just trying to protect her found family while looking for a way home and ends up being entangled in a big web of politics, harem intrigue, assassination plots, and one infuriating man who is at the center of it all.

The Hundred Reigns [Timeloop LitRPG]

★ 4.82

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A hundred tries to get it right. No more, no less.

For twenty years, Balzam Magnos terrorized the world as its third Overlord: conquering kingdoms, slaughtering heroes, and crushing rebels under his iron boot. None could stand up to him.

But then he died, and Simon is now stuck with his Class.

Owning the most powerful Class in the world has its downsides. The paladins? They want his head. His overpowered siblings? They want his throne. His empress stepmother? She wants both. And his predecessor’s assassin is still out there.

But the Overlord Class has a secret: its user can turn back time to their coronation up to a hundred times, reliving their reigns until death.

Simon has a hundred reigns to grow strong enough to fulfill his dreams. Not one more, not one less.

Better make each one count.

What to expect:

- 100 loops, each wildly different — from crafting and dungeon crawling to intrigue and empire-building.

- 5 chapters a week from Monday to Friday.

- Hard-won power growth.

- Epic battles, wicked plans, and world-shattering family feuds.

- Dragons, demon magic, and punching arrogant princes in the face.
