Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Martin Kilborne, a mundane human armed with his late uncle’s beat-up van and a talent for swindling and forgery infiltrates the Omnithean Superstate. Posing as a grieving, orphaned, half-blood student Alexander Glock, he scams his way into Skyfall Academy, an elite school filled with privileged cryptids.

Hunted by Wendigo Scrutimancers, Martin has only a week to create a group of interdimensional dungeon delvers to find everything he’s lost when reality was torn asunder through the dastardly machinations of a teenage supervillain girl.

+ What to expect in this series:

Love, death & cryptids.

A clever, somewhat sociopathic MC who uses swindling, forgery, lying, jokes and compliments as weapons against far stronger and more dangerous cryptid-humanoids.

Litrpg numbers VERY slowly going up from zero, progression fantasy, a mundane human MC gradually becoming a mage.

Dungeon delving, cryptid civilization, cryptid waifus, crystal kittens.

PathOgen [Forge Your Own Path] Reader Interactive

★ 4.75

Vitaly S Alexius

This is a 100% reader-interactive, game-like book, based on my novel Technomagica. It is written in collaboration with the readers - every comment drives it forward. Once there are enough interesting or fun comments on each chapter, various paths forward begin to manifest that you can [choose] to follow.

Summary: Soviet bio-weapons designer Vladislav Kerenski died in 1992. Upon meeting "god" he rejects a continuation of his narrative. It's up to you to help him survive the darkness of the Astral Ocean.

This is the only book on Royal Road where your choice can make the MC become a villain or a hero, to die horribly and quickly, or slowly and painfully, to live out an interesting life, to become god, or to be trapped in a nightmarish loop without an end!

Towerbound

★ 4.75

Samson Chui

This is Book 4 of the Towerbound series.

Start here only if you’ve read the earlier books. Which you really should 😝 If not? Catch up on Amazon—or Royal Road (link in Chapter 1).

Ren is back, and the Tower isn’t waiting anymore.

The Patch has walls. The guild has a name. But enemies are leveling faster than the rules can be written—and Ren’s plans are running out of road.

Expect:

– Real-life district politics

– Super Ren

– The beginning of the Merger

Godfather’s System

★ 4.52

Agoraphobic Dragon

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.

Apocalypse Reaver [Bk.1 Stubbed Now on KU & Audible]

Book 1 [Formerly Gilgamesh] is now stubbed and available on Kindle Unlimited and Audible: HERE!

Torn from his life by gods capricious and cruel, he is thrust into their Divine games in a strange new world.

His name stolen, he resolves to call himself after the first and greatest of all heroes—Gilgamesh. However, corrupted by his new powers, he slowly walks the path of darkness and damnation as he kills for pleasure and power. The more he kills, the more willing he becomes to continue the slaughter as he brings the evils of his old world to the new.

For his dark destiny, long foretold, leads down a path of darkness and horror.

Such is the fate of the Watcher of Deep Places.

[An Epic LITRPG with an unrepentantly evil MC]

**Very slow-burn with genociding, godslaying payoff**

[Warning: An unpleasant and very flawed MC who slowly gets worse. He is NOT a hero.]

Do not expect;

*A main character who does not need to struggle for anything.
*A meaningless leveling process.
*No bags of holding, instant inventory, telepathic party chat, instant fast travel, and a helpful system (or a fairy guide that explains everything).
*LitRPG elements that are so complicated that they distract from the story.
*Artificial mercy.
*On-the-nose political or social messaging.
*Harems.
*A main character who can do everything and is loved by everyone.

Expect;

*An introduction to a beautiful world steeped in the influence of the steppe, middle-eastern, and Asian cultures.
*A hopefully subtle discourse on the nature of evil and the corrupting influence of power.
*A realistic depiction of how a person would react to suddenly being transported to an alien world to fight at the behest of the gods.
*A magic system with a very real and dangerous cost.

n.b The MC is slowly going cuckoo. He is a bit all over the place and is definitely one tomato short of a salad. This is what happens when magic and the divine mess with you [at least in my mind!] This is a feature, not a bug. Enjoy the story.

Nobody’s Hero [System Apocalypse LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

★ 4.55

noct

There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies.

Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration, everything else is on the table. Everything except immortality. After all, if anyone was immortal, then Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator for life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator for forever.

It's a good thing no one is immortal, then.

Especially not Levi.

Similar vibes to The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City, a satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist!

Beware the Trickster (An Occult Progression LitRPG)

★ 4.77

Mangowo

Life was perfect: naps in sunbeams, stolen snacks and expertly timed "accidents" to torment her favorite human.

So, when licking a strangely alluring gemstone on an old mask suddenly flooded her fuzzy head with memories of her former human existence... well, like any sensible fox would, Clover simply filed it under "list-of-things-to-not-give-a-damn-about" and went back to important business. Like napping.

Fate, however, had other plans.

When the velvet curtain of her pampered ignorance was violently ripped aside, revealing a world steeped in ancient horrors, eldritch hungers, and flesh-warping occult progression... she reacted with remarkable calm. A raised eyebrow (metaphorically), perhaps. Because the real horror was anything threatening her nap-snack-torment equilibrium.

Now, this newly enlightened vulpine has a simple goal: Get Stronger. Not for glory. But purely so she can achieve peace through overwhelming power.

What to expect:

- A tier-based progression system (Body horror optional, but aesthetically likely)

- A terrifying world… seen through the unblinking, mildly annoyed gaze of a fluffy creature primarily concerned with treat distribution.

- OP protagonist → even more OP protagonist.

- Misunderstandings. So many misunderstandings.

- A totally honest, glorious, and helpful trait. Can be trusted with eyes closed.

FINAL CORE : [A holy dungeon-core litRPG]

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.

The Twelve Apocalypses: A Damned Soul’s Path to the Abyss

★ 4.6

AT Valentine

The universe is big, and Hayden's about to invade it.

Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, it’s not exactly like he can appeal the decision.

Surrounding Hayden are demons, excited and ready. For them, the invasion promises a feast of souls and new growth. Their target? Berlis — a sword and sorcery realm straight out of classic fantasy.

Hayden’s human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, meant to be cannon fodder that soaks up damage and dies first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he’s learning that he was born for the madness.

"I'm enjoying the hell out of this story. Valentine can write."

- R. C. Joshua, author of How to Survive at the End of the World and Demon World Boba Shop

Readers can expect:

+ Grimdark action and violence
+ Fighting, lots of it
+ Multiple worlds and magic systems
+ Slow burn
