Synopsis

This book has been published on Amazon Kindle (under the title Windswept) so I have to take down all but 10% of the content posted here.
You can find the rest of the story at: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0C14V7JW4?maas=&ref=

Patrick was once your average, ordinary, 21st century American. That is to say he was overweight, under-appreciated, and utterly miserable. He was on track to stay that way for the rest of his life too, but nothing can knock you out of a rut quite like an abrupt landing in an entirely different dimension. A dimension of gods, monsters, and familiar video-game mechanics that promise a life of grand adventure. It’s just too bad that he never got that promise in writing…

Will Patrick be able to survive with nothing but a can-do attitude and the clothes on his back? Will he thrive? Or will he just become one more pawn on someone else’s board, pushed around by the uncaring winds of fate?

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.

Nero Walker (A Slow-Burn Litrpg)

★ 4.54

Leetle Sheet

Follow Nero’s journey through a world filled with every fantasy imaginable, while being stuck in a city filled with only humans. Watch as he struggles to understand how magic works, and what reality looks like when it’s based on fantasy instead of physics.

He’ll have to face a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation. Suffer the horror of competent administration. Persevere through the indignity of living in a world where people’s opinions are based on rational arguments.

Although Nero’s past life hadn’t prepared him for the challenges he’ll face, he won’t face them alone. He will find allies to assist him, mentors to guide him, even a few fans. There will be villains and threats, heroes and training. But mostly, it will be Nero trying to ignore what’s going on around him while focusing on learning magic.

The world is big, and there are characters aplenty. As time goes on, the story will grow. The leveling system may seem simple at first, but it's soon revealed to be so complex that our hero will do everything he can to ignore it, regardless of the consequences.

If you enjoy watching an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold be forced to grow up by circumstance and the influence of those around him, then this story will be worth your time. Just don't get your hopes up, our main character isn't ready for that kind of responsibility.

Expect:
- Snarky banter bordering on rude
- A fantasy world built on a framework of satirical realism
- A unique progression system
- A slow, easy-going pace

Don't Expect:
- Overly complex emo characters
- Murderhobos
- Cliche villains and heroes
- To read the whole book without chuckling

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

★ 4.59

beddedOtaku

[Action + System + Comedy + MC teaches protagonist disciples + Isekai + Cultivation]

While I wondered why the fender of a nice Cooper was growing bigger, fate spun elsewhere, and I woke up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation!

And, of course, there's a system: one that allows me to create any martial art that I can imagine... provided I have enough Creation Points.

And my first disciple just so happens to be a reincarnated monster from 10,000 years ago with an incurable poison that I can cure with my custom creation?

Hey, this can be fun--nope, it's terrifying! The reputation of the guy I took over is just... it's the worst! Not only do I have to raise disciples to earn Creation Points to raise more disciples, I also have to rehabilitate the image that not even the best PR team on Earth could rehabilitate!

These really are some crappy starting circumstances...

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

★ 4.7

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest.

Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion.

Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn’t ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn’t matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage; Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn’t starting now.

He was already a god; now, he’ll have to become the god.

Art cover by Dinovoila and SelkieMyth.

Updates twice a week (2500/3000 words chapters) on Tuesday and Saturday. Contains deckbuilding LitRPG elements and a tactical-oriented System, a god who knows what he's doing (sometimes), base-building, and a colorful cast of mortal champions.

Valkyrie’s Shadow

★ 4.7

Aeridinae Lunaris

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.

A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.

There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.

[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

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.
