The Greatest Sin [Progression Fantasy][Kingdom Building]

Aszcze

And so Arascus, God of Pride, waited. He waited for his defeat as the forces of Heaven & Hell combined descended upon him. He waited as they tried to kill him. He waited as they locked him away. He waited for a thousand years in that dark prison. Now. He was done waiting.

This story takes place in a fantasy variant of our modern world with ancient Gods, with multiple differing character perspectives and excerpts at the start of each chapter. These excerpts are largely the character's own opinions, they are not correct. Also, unless said otherwise, most characters lie to achieve their own goals. Only believe the character's own perspectives for their own thoughts, but please do understand that everyone is biased in some way or another.

This story features progression of powers and technology, ramping up from swords to rifles into modern style of warfare and then further beyond. It is a slow-burn.

I don't use any AI to write, I'm not against AI personally and I've used it for the cover. I just work a lot.

Enlightened Empire

★ 4.5

SociableHermit

A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Updates three times a week.

America In Another World

★ 4.4

RonTheBlackCat

One day in 2019, the United States of America finds itself transported to a new world.

What will happen if a modern superpower from Earth finds itself in a world with magic and technology ranging from the medieval era to World War 1? F-22 Raptors vs wyverns and biplanes. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers vs wooden ships, mage ships, and dreadnaughts. M4 carbines vs bow n’ arrows, staffs, and bolt-action rifles. Featuring aggressive expansionist empires and magical kingdoms, what will the United States do?

I will do weekly updates every Sunday of chapters with about 1000-2000 words each.

This is the first novel I have ever written and is meant to be a draft. The official one will come out sometime after I finish this.

To Conquer The Stars

★ 5.0

Ghostly_Immortal

Mark Shepherd, an ordinary man from Earth, thought he had died after a distracted driver ran him over, but instead, he wakes up aboard a wrecked spaceship that's rapidly making its descent to a desolate planet.

He's greeted by a sci-fi system that makes him a Fleet Commander, equipped with ships and tactical tools. However, his system soon malfunctions and is replaced by an unknown one that may never activate, leaving him badly injured and stranded in a race against time to escape the uninhabitable planet.

He comes across an unlikely friend and mentor, and between the confusion of the memories of two lives and the lessons of Ship Engineering from his new mentor, Mark will learn and discover that the only way to achieve true freedom from this corporate-ridden universe is To Conquer The Stars.

The Quantum Wanderer

★ 3.9

KronosRJ

What would happen if a physicist got transferred to another world?
I am trying to not strive too far from the isekai commonplace (it is commonplace because it is fun), and trying to write OP MC Isekai slice of life fun story.
Generally, magic is truly magical, but what if one could *really* understand it?

The text was built to be intelligent. Characters have personalities, but consistency is maintained.

I plan on publishing twice a week.

Enjoy!

This is a work of fiction. Any similarities with actual facts are just coincidences.

Some of the more cliché text may be using AI.

Building World Peace with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

★ 5.0

Bimbanana

Welcome to planet Talvaris, your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves who look like they escaped from an illustrators search history. Everything here is as beautiful as the goddess Celes envision it, if you just ignore the slavery and racism on the corner.

Unfortunately, maintaining this picturesque fantasy realm costs divine power. Luckily for the goddess, divine power can be charged by the Talvarians' prayer. And nothing beats the high-quality prayer of a Talvarian during the act of killing or being killed. That’s why the occasional demon invasions are needed, oh and the OP otherworlder hero is also needed to tone down the invasion. Nobody wants the sweet Talvarians to get wiped out, right?

But this time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not a Japanese. He is just a regular pot belly millennials who spend most of his time looking at the screen every day, just like the one who reading this now. Totally doesn't meet the goddess's standards.

Hence, the beautiful but angry goddess cursed Alex Solomon to become an orc and banish him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but a ability to access Earth internet.

Stuck among demons, Alex Solomon decide if the goddess wants him to be a monster, he’ll be the worst kind possible – a monster with ideas. Armed with memes, wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinker, he and his United Demon Kingdom of Murica, set out on a quest for revenge by doing the most disruptive thing that have been proven on earth:

Building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

One Tomahawk missile at a time.
