Lone: The Wanderer

★ 4.51

Lone

A story about a history teacher gaming-addict with familial trauma, and a peculiar woman seemingly stuck out of time and beyond out of touch.

The two have been thrust into the weird and whimsical world of Altros, a planet with divides born of very real superhuman strength courtesy of an odd ranking system, and, naturally, species differences.

Not exactly the best of news for our resident Scottish history teacher whose ears have changed into fox ones alongside his nine new fluffy tails.

First though, Darren, or Lone, or whatever else the weird system claims he's called, has to figure out how to live with his new companion Sofia, for seemingly forever while also just barely managing to survive being stranded on a monster-infested island with a self-proclaimed former-immortal who can see despite being blind, can freely teleport, and who also, of course, seems prone to experiencing bouts of extreme depression.

Not an ideal situation when he himself hasn't been in a great headspace for over a decade now. But hey, at least there's an incredibly expansive litRPG system to keep the both of them entertained, right? That'll fight off the fear of death, surely.

[Goal of 1 chapter per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies.]

Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

★ 4.64

TSeris

"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work? Can we complain when they turn reality into a game? Can we get a refund on life itself? The gods claim they answered our prayers. That they built this world with us in mind. That they brought us here for our own sake. Maybe they did. Personally I think they have their own reasons. We're not the players in this game, we're the pieces on the board.

Still... What if it's fun?"

Axiom of Infinity follows the story of several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives for themselves in a world with monsters and dungeons, where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, and where the gods themselves seem to be playing a very different game–one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by another, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations, a pawn destined to become a queen.

This is a LitRPG Novel built on a hard system with a lot of depth and customization, but which tries not to beat you over the head with numbers constantly. In this world finding and reporting bugs and exploits is both encouraged and rewarded, and the gods have found the most qualified testers in the multiverse: Us. Now the unsuspecting natives of Astra are going to have to learn to live with a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet slinging nerds and gamers of all shapes and sizes as we do what we do best... break things.

Courting Death (Xianxia, Reincarnation) (RETURNING JAN 5TH)

★ 4.78

Blue Moon 13

Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden. Until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace.

She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear, then the cosmos snatches Martin away, declaring his demise "an error" and hurling him back to existence.

Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm, a land where sword-saints carve mountains, skies burn a different colour each day, and power is measured in the lives you can end, Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.

Until death? (Old Version)

This is the dated Version. Please search for the rewrite.

Ever been a god? Well I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods!

Apparently they didn't like the whole idea that my Faith is the only true one! Oh and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? Though, I admit that ultimatively, I caused it.

Seems like I got sent onto a vacation as punishment! Or so I hope?

Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

That Time an American was Reincarnated into Another World

★ 4.6

Sp4de

It’s not always the Asians who get isekaied. Very rarely does an American get chosen, though the lords of isekai have reasons for that.
It’s time for John to remind them of those reasons.

This story started as a gag. It is no longer a gag.

The Eternal Assassin

★ 4.52

Wizardly Dude

First they ran from death. Now they run from him.

Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher is surprised to find there is one type of dead body his training as a mortician’s apprentice didn’t prepare him for. Not exactly a fan of being held captive by the dead any more than he enjoyed being held past closing time for them, Asher decides to use his newfound dimensional abilities to see himself out.

Only after stealing the culmination of a few centuries worth of illegal magical experimentation of course.

In a world where resurrection magic means death is more of a suggestion for the upper class than the rule, Asher eventually discovers his stolen power is capable of ensuring anything that dies by his hand, stays dead.

For some reason, a lot of very powerful people find this rather upsetting.

An ancient cabal of forgotten liches. The elite organization of noble truthseekers. Even the kingdom’s famous assassin’s guild. It seems just about anyone who deals in death wants to claim his mysterious power for themselves, and most of them will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Not unless Asher can get to them first.

Release Schedule: 5 chapters a week Monday-Friday, with the occasional bonus chapter.

What to Expect:

[+] Weak to Strongest (slow burn).

[+] Assassin MC with a hunger for battle.

[+] Evolving Skills and Unique Magical Combinations.

[+] Romance (not harem).

[+] Death.

Arcane Apocalypse [LitRPG]

★ 4.58

Arawn Frostguard

What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it?
Well, the people of Earth are going to find out, and it's not going to be pretty.

The moment the barrier that kept supernatural powers out collapsed, the only thing keeping the little pieces of floating rocks and the tiny people living on them intact, was the System’s intervention.

Mia, being one of those tiny people on the little floating rocks in the middle of the void, had much bigger problems though. Like goblins trying to get a nibble out of her guts.

It’s not all bad though, she might have monsters trying to eat her, have disturbingly pointy ears and an obnoxiously pink mane of hair, but she seemed to have some talent for magic.
Everything is going to be just fine. Right?

Expect:
- Female, Gay MC
- An MC that doesn't miraculously take to fighting goblins to the death like a seasoned murderhobo.
- Arcane Magic! UNLIMITED POWAH!(not really)
- A mostly benevolent System.
- I'm still figuring out the rest, so that's about it for now.
- MC starts out as a bit of a doormat. She slowly starts getting better at around ch 12 though. It's called character development, even if my MC is dragging her leg a bit too much at the start.

Schedule: Monday 6PM CET and bonus chapters on Friday 6PM CET (if there are any)
