Synopsis

Five years have passed since Maura was awakened by claws, alone in the dark.

She has been hunting for something. Someone. Any place that is not empty. Answers.

Her body is not like she remembers, nor is her world. There is no one to ask for answers to her questions, but there might be. Somewhere out there, the world isn’t dark and strange. She just needs to find it. She musn’t give up hope.

She has been hunted at every turn, but she is close. She can almost feel the light.

She moves ever eastward; Hunting Dawn.

Dragon Spar: The Game Maker LitRPG Series [Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG – Book 1 Complete, Book 2 Updating]

keeganashleylive

What happened when my Dad was plucked from this universe and kidnapped into a post-apocalyptic, gritty fantasy, video-game-like world? I went after him, of course.

Things turned dark. Lies swarmed thicker than the zombies and dragons. ...And the truth? ...Did I really want to know it? The Gamers set my father's execution date—their hatred of him made me wonder what he could have done. When I found out, I, also, found I was irrevocably tied to The Game, and there wasn't any going back now. There wasn't anymore hiding under the covers. Because I either stood up and fought for what I believed in, or The Game world that held the keys to a past I couldn't remember died forever.

I was the last Game Maker. It was time I made my Game.

...No pressure...

Fight the dragon

or fight yourself.

Fight for what you stand for

or what you won't.

Choose your path, Game Maker;

make your game.

Sometimes, the hardest choice

is which hill you'd be

willing to die on.

Accidental Necromancer

Where were you, the day life as we knew it ended, and magic returned to Earth in a rush? When goblins, undead, and dragons were restored? When the electric grid went down for the last time, and gunpowder stopped exploding?

Selena Serrano was in school; med school, to be precise, and Human Anatomy class if you wanted to be even more specific. When magic returned it woke things which ought to have remained sleeping - like the cadavers her class was supposed to be dissecting...

To survive this new, changed Earth, Selena will need to become more than she had been. She'll have to understand magic, harness it, and in the process, she'll become the Accidental Necromancer.

Welcome to the Magipocalypse. Come right in! We have zombies...

Book 1 and onwards can be found on KU here!

The world is in ruins.

Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. Frozen derelicts of bygone eras span across massive ice wastes. And the survivors closely guard any technology rediscovered within.

The only escape from the deadly climate is beneath the surface. But it’s another disaster underground. Monstrous machines lurk in the depths. The land itself shifts over time, more contraption than rock. The humans surviving under do so huddled around safe zones, with only demigods powerful enough to travel further underground.

And an ominous prophecy states that the key to healing the world waits on four unknown heroes - but nobody knows who or where they are.

When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father get trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale; the two will need to set their differences aside while they struggle against Gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

Updating Monday and Thursdays.

Path of the Deathless (Book 4 Completed)

OstensibleMammal

Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger.

The world stands against Shiv. He's an outcast in his town, considered an unholy omen. The System seems to spurn him, and the authorities refuse to let anyone grant him a Path, leaving him unable to grow beyond his natural limits. But Shiv was never someone who gave up when the world dealt him bad cards. After years of fruitlessly hunting monsters on his own to earn a Path, Shiv receives an unexpected opportunity: a chance to earn the Town Lord’s favor, and to finally rise beyond the limits of humanity.

Yet, when his town is attacked, and Shiv is murdered in combat, he finds himself bestowed with a Unique Path possessed by no one else.

The Path of the Deathless.

Though he resurrects upon death, his killer casts him down from his frontier town and into the Abyss. In an unfamiliar place of darkness and wonder, Shiv finds himself freed from his previous limits, capable of charting his own destiny, but only if he can overcome countless dangers and lethal adversaries.

But that's ultimately a good thing for Shiv, because where most find the end of their stories in death, he will discover only power. After all, how scary is a dangerous world when death is so nutritional?

Update Pace: Two/three 2-3k-word chapters a day for the foreseeable future.

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.
