Ravnicrasol

It was the third day without sleep, slogging through with little to sustain him other than coffee and looming bills, that Liam found himself face to face with a portal.

What other option did he have but to jump in?

Unknown to him, the destination was the world of Crystal Skylights, a universe of his own making. Except now Liam has to confront that he's just a human in a world where Gods walk the earth.

The only edge he possesses is his knowledge of this universe, a knowledge that makes him a prime target.

Will it be enough?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children. Simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world. A place with culture, economics, and politics—inhabited by people that have their own passions, goals, and prejudices.

What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself here—a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility, but not all of those possibilities are good.

The Distinguished Mr. Rose: LitRPG Adventures of a Gentlemanly Madman [Book 1 Stubbed]

★ 4.61

QuiteTheSlacker

Book 1 is now live on Amazon and KU! The link is here: The Distinguished Mr. Rose

There is one thing in life Lucius values above all else, and that is beauty.

As the humble owner of a flower boutique, one with a bloody secret hiding underneath, Lucius is surrounded by all the beauty he could ever want. Flowers, art, and even people... everything in no short supply.

But when he's suddenly whisked away into the sky along with the rest of humanity, and forced to participate in a series of games, trials, and adventures into foreign dimensions by astral beings, Lucius discovers a new frontier full of possibility. This wide universe, these unique lands brimming with beautiful, blossoming souls—the world is endless, and so too is inspiration.

With style, with grace, and with a gentlemanly candor, Lucius seeks to draw out the inner beauty in all.

And he will not rest until they bloom as their truest selves.

What to expect?

- A villainous, but gentlemanly, MC

- Excursions into a wide variety of worlds

- Classes and Skills

- Deception and manipulation

- Tea parties

- No senseless evil or violence. Lucius is not going to go on a random murder spree or commit vile acts just because he felt like it. He's a gentleman after all—he abhors being vulgar.

- A man who knows full well the type of nature he has, and revels in it.

Will update daily until chapter 50, which will then shift into two times a week: Wednesdays and Saturdays.

You can also read ahead on my Patreon (currently up to 15 chapters)

Respec On Death ( Book One Complete )

★ 4.49

Godric

Fate demands sacrifice. He offers defiance.

Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, half the population is gone. Culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds—and if they aren't cleared in time, ten percent of Earth’s population is erased.

The System does not tolerate failure.

Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic—assigned the most basic healer class, with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. But when a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for.

He’s seen by something older than the System. Something forgotten.

[Skill Activated: Respec on Death]
Class Reassigned. Attributes Redistributed. Fate Rewritten.

With each death, Jimmy changes—new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters or Gates. The System is watching. The gods are stirring.

And Jimmy Novak, once just a medic, is becoming something far more dangerous.

In defiance of fate, one shall rise. The seventh of six. The cosmos shall tremble at their ascension. The path has been laid.

What to Expect:

[+] Weak to Strongest (slow burn).

[+] Evolving Skills and changing classes.

[+] Unique Planets, Biomes and Life.

[+] Gritty Military Themes + Slice of Life Military Themes.

[+] Numbers going up.

[+] The unexpected.

This is not a typical death grinder where the MC dies often. Additionally there are always consequences for each death. This is going to be a long, slow burn story, with character focus and high stakes. Hopefully you'll give it a try, thank you!

OstensibleMammal

Professionally edited and published versions of volumes 1 and 2 can be found on Kindle and as audiobooks on Audible!

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.

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.

Hope

★ 4.69

sarvashaktimaan

The Aspects are long dead. The venerated creators of reality are no more.

Yet the final scheme of their slayer, of the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they have ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer and closer throughout the eons. Inevitably, unstoppably.

The last Hope is a desperate gamble: For one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

I am not stubbing this story until it's at least complete (if ever).

Expect:
High fantasy.
Weak to strong quick.
Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.
MC that is an actual character not a plot device.
My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.
My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.
Story that matters (or does it?)
No, I can't rewrite the prologue even though I lose a good half of prospective readers on it.

Good writing and decent grammar. Reviewers seem to like it, you might too.

Upload schedule: Updates every Saturday. 3000+ words per chapter.

Meant to be read in RR dark mode.
