Synopsis

On the first day, he almost died.

On the second day, he almost died.

On the third, he began to notice a worrying trend. And almost died.

Crushing loneliness? Danger around every corner? All of that has become part of his daily routine.

That’s fine. He’ll carve out a place in this world with his bare hands if necessary. He’ll survive, and then he’ll thrive.

Whether anyone wants him to or not.

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.

Penitent

★ 4.68

Seersucker

Michael didn't want to die. He didn't deserve to die. After a lost battle with cancer that started only a year after he retired, he'd lived what many people would call a full life, but it wasn't enough. He wanted more time. Time with his wife. Time with his kids. Time with his grandkids. When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it. Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted to live.

Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to be a Penitent, a soldier in the country he was reborn into in order to pay a debt to society he owes for taking the life of the child whose body he inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

An Isekai with light litrpg elements

MC will gain powers similar to those of a paladin

Book 1 spends a lot of time in a military academy. MC does not stay a child for very long.

Story will be a slower pace than my others.

MC may not be to everyone's taste. He feels guilt for his actions that may seem unreasonable and is very human. He will grow, but it will take time.

Volume 1: A Shadowed Awakening

Eunora Dawn is just a child. She was born a noble in the kingdom of Maeve, with 5 siblings and a shy personality. At a glance, her life was meant to be rosy.

But, when Eunora unlocks the [System] on her 8th birthday, she gains more than she expected. Memories of her past life as a strong-willed and fulfilled woman flood her mind and all but overwrite her personality. Filled with existential dread and grief over losing her past loved ones, Eunora goes from an innocent child filled with hope for her family to someone who is just trying to keep herself afloat in a strange world that almost seems too awful to be true.

With her sudden change in personality, as two individuals become one within Eunora, she has to find something she cares about. Anything. As long as it gets her out of bed.

Eunora loved her life in the Before -and she’s not looking forward to growing up again. All Maeve has shown her is neglect and longing, and after living a life of privilege, she’ll need to adjust.

PSA: This isekai/transmigration fantasy is SLOW paced and character driven! Things pick up as we go, but the plot is filled with meandering.

Level One God

★ 4.5

ZScott

Brynn wakes up to discover he's now a god in a world full of magic, infested dungeons, and sprawling kingdoms—but there's a catch... He's back at level one, Wood Rank.

Brynn is the first person ever to activate the previously hidden power of "Prestige Mode." He'll be able to equip two class corestones instead of one, among a host of other incredible benefits. His new powers come at a cost: the process erased all his memories and almost completely reset his progress.

With nothing from his old life but an unidentified helmet that looks like a portal to the stars and an empty Alchemist's Kit, he finds himself in a dangerous new world full of terrifying creatures, fantasy races, treacherous dungeons, and enemies around every corner. He'll have to navigate a complex magic and class system to reclaim his forgotten power and survive.

Every level counts, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Brynn's journey from level one to godhood begins now.

What to Expect:

- An MC who picked the most punishing possible prestige path because it has the greatest potential power. He'll start at the bottom and slowly progress his way back over what I hope to be a long series of books.
- A fun and complex class system. If you like unique classes, interesting powers, and exciting magical abilities... You'll probably like it! (But I'm not in a rush to get to the end, so if you aren't interested in a slow-burn journey to watch the MC climb steadily in power, then this may not be for you).
- Loot... Sweet, sweet loot.

Release schedule: Tuesday + Thursday (usually before noon US Mountain time every week!)

I've set up a Patreon and Discord. Patreon is following the same schedule and getting chapters Tuesday/Thursday. They are something like 10-15 chapters ahead of RR, and I'll only be charging $1 per month for Patreon subs all the way through book 3 for all tiers :)

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

★ 4.58

tobascoasako

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.

Archmage from Another World: Gaining Administrator Access [LitRPG Isekai]

★ 4.58

Etheric

Transported into a world where just about anybody can receive the prestigious title of Mage, Morgana is equally baffled and outraged. She spent the better part of twenty-two years holed up in alcoves, poring over spell formulae and memorizing the forty-three Primary Astolian Paradigms, all for the opportunity to study at the Ivory Institute and gain access to those primordial, inscrutable powers. And here, they're dropped into people's laps? Ridiculous.

Morgana doesn't know how she's arrived here, why everyone is so bone-headedly ignorant to the fundamentals of magic, and especially what this strange 'System' is, coddling even 'archmages' with the simplest of spell constructions, but she's going to find out.

In the meantime, there's plenty of fascinating things to study. Dungeons, artifacts, classes, skills, and spells—all obviously created by some Grand Architect using a language that, apparently, only Morgana is familiar with. Beyond gaining insights into the arcane, which she's devoted her life to decoding, there might be something incredible to glean inside all these expertly hidden mechanisms.

Something bigger than she could imagine.

System Lost: My Own Best Friend

★ 4.75

DarkTechnomancer

Sometimes the only one who can save you—is you.

Allison is a normal girl who enjoys spending time with her friends, going out to parties and clubs, and just generally enjoying college life. So when she wakes up in a strange underground complex full of candles, weird creatures, and no memory of how she ended up there, it's safe to say she's a little out of her element. She has no survival skills, no ability to fight, and absolutely no hecking clue what all these weird words and numbers floating around in her head are supposed to mean! It seems like a hopeless situation until, in her desperation, she finds an unlikely ally in...herself?! Another her with different knowledge, skills, and personality. Together, they might have a chance of making it out alive, but there's a catch—they still share the same body.

What to expect:

Yeah, I'm not doing that. System Lost is my second series, and my first new project after four years of writing my previous story, Fates Parallel. I've learned a lot from that experience, and I'm excited to put those lessons to work in this new story. If you're familiar with my previous work, then you can expect a familiar focus on characterization and personal growth, with a newly refined style and brand new themes and setting. If not, then just know that I've spent the last four years consistently writing one story until it was finished, with only a handful of pauses each less than a month long. I am committed to seeing my projects through to the end, and I offer proof rather than promises that this story will not be abandoned.

Additionally, I plan to keep System Lost freely available for as long as possible, or even indefinitely if I can afford to do so. I'm not going to make a promise I might have to break, but it is my sincere hope that I will not ever have to move this story to Kindle Unlimited.

System Lost updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5 PM EST.

Cover arts by Fuyudust and Sagior. Character designs by Tsuu and Mjeow. Chibi characters by Alice (of TsurotArtistry).

Mana exists and, somehow, seems to have a purpose, beginning with its arrival triggering a cosmic event that burst through numerous realities, bringing upheaval and turmoil to all within its path…

Transported from Earth under mysterious circumstances, Sloane and her daughter Gwyn arrived in the world of Eona only to discover they had been separated from each other. Forced to venture on a desperate quest to find one another, mother and daughter each embark on magical adventures, filled with untold wonders and fantastical beings. They undertake their journeys across a continent rife with power struggles, where ancient kingdoms and guilds are in disarray, scrambling to adapt to the arrival of magic in their world.

A hardware engineer by trade, Sloane must use skills learned over a long career to craft any edge she can against beings who have thrived using weapons long since obsolete on Earth. Perhaps mana will provide the answers she needs.
