Synopsis

The Scientist cared only for the Truth. He will do anything to reach it, even if it means creating an entirely new type of magic based on science.

His whole life had been dedicated to it. His brilliant career, thrown into doubt because fools couldn’t see it before their eyes. When he reaches too far in his search for undeniable proof, he dies.

Despite it making no sense, he wakes up.

Reborn in a coven of witches, in a world that makes no sense, where magic is king and science is unknown, he sees something that makes him hope. Not all is lost, for the System is the key to finding the Truth.

Now Orion Voidwalker, he will use his scientific knowledge to reach heights previously thought impossible.

And yet, chaos is spreading through the Cyril Magocracy, and not everyone is content to watch him discard dogma and long-held beliefs in his quest.

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons

★ 4.5

Selkie

Winner of the 2021 Stabby Award!

Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic.

An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?

Adventures? Right this way!

A Grand quest? Nah.

Friends and loot? Heck yes!

Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food.

Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.

Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move.

Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws.

The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there!

I’m going to be posting M-W-F

I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue.

RE: Deity – The Breath of Creation – [Stubbed]

★ 4.75

Infamous Goose

Book 1 Available on Amazon!

Book 1 Stubbed November 19th
Synopsis:
Sometimes the multiverse needs expanding. That's where I come in. Unfortunately being a deity isn't all fun and games, as there are always things working against you. Not even the Overgod of the Multiverse can change that.

Longer Summary:
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, and were given a grace period in which they could expand their domains in relative safety. Once that period is up, however, the created universes will be able to interact with each other and other universes...as well as be at the mercy of the Void. I am one of those souls, and it's not easy. Between trying to raise up gods to defend my realm with, guiding mortals, accidentally making a xianxia world, and dealing with my own children, I have my work cut out for me. Now I know why back on Earth gods worked in mysterious, invisible ways. There's just too much to be done.

What to expect: Worldbuilding in the most literal sense, lots of POV's, Xianxia elements, and more. The LitRPG elements are very light, be warned if you're coming in for that.

This is a rewrite of an old story. It's been about six years since I dropped the previous, and having grown as an author and person, I decided to revisit the concept. The old one will be left up, for anyone who wants to revisit it or look at it from a legacy standpoint.

Updates will be twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.

FINAL CORE : [A holy dungeon-core litRPG]

★ 4.54

Razzmatazz

STUBBED - THIS STORY IS COMPLETE AND HAS MOVED TO AMAZON + AUDIBLE!

[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]

The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.

For the Glory of Rome: Chronicles of an Isekai’d Legion

★ 4.72

zaifyr

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.

A Tyrant, Sort Of [LitRPG, Isekai, Dragon MC]

★ 4.6

farawaymuse

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.

What a headache.

Biracial Edgelord Can’t Make Immortal : Power of Ten, Book Seven

★ 4.86

RE Druin

This Book began May 2, 2025, and continues the story of the Shards of Aelryinth in other multiverses and worlds.

-----------------

Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse, this one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D.

This world is oddly familiar, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs... but Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos, evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods, only ascended Immortals going about their personal Projects without much care for the lives and desires of mere mortals.

The road to mortal Power is clear and broad, and Funf has a huge head start on matters, but when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, it's going to take a new approach to things to shake up the existing order of things and maybe, just maybe, bring the Light of Heaven and some actual culpability to a bunch of uncaring super-beings...

Cat Girl Evolution [BOOK 1 COMPLETE]

★ 4.74

Bedivere the Mad

She’s a Cat. She’s a Girl. And she’s going to evolve.

Yona wasn’t always a cat, but she is now, and she’s living her best cat life. No silly “Quests” or “Systems” are going to get in her way!

…Until they do. Unfortunately, time waits for no man, and it certainly waits for no cat, and Yona finds that out the hard way. Now, stranded alone on an island surrounded by monsters, she needs to fight for her life to survive and return to the mainland!

…Or just pig out and nap and sometimes slap some fish people around. Either works. But there’s one thing she’s not going to do: swim. And that makes escaping the island a bit more of a challenge than it needs to be.

Meanwhile, the gods are brewing up… something. As gods tend to do.

What to expect:

- The MC is a cat, both in body and mind

- Gluttony powers done right

- The only romance is Yona X Fish (can’t get enough fish)

- A System that is sassy only in self defense

- Numbers go up (a lot)

- Somewhat unhinged MC

I tagged it with graphic violence and sensitive content, but it shouldn't get too bad. Just wanted to be safe

The Phoenix [Cultivation, Reincarnation, Tower Climber]

★ 4.58

The Phoenix

She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live.

In this life, she's Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation. Or at least, she was before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought if she reached the top, she entered, hoping to find a way to end her curse.

However, even with hundreds of lives of experience to fall back on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power was only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she’s ever faced.

And when she finally reaches the top? She’ll decide whether to end it all… or maybe not.

Inspired by:

- Tower of God
- Hunter X Hunter
- Hell Difficulty Tutorial
- Various Murim and Xianxia stories

What to expect

- Strong to Stronger
- Magic system is Hunter X Hunter + cultivation
- A Tower of massive scale with many different places and races
- No romance
- Long-term character development
- A cat (?)
