Synopsis

Available for purchase on Kindle Unlimited and Audible!

It has been centuries since mortals unlocked the secrets of the Fate System and overthrew Mount Olympus. The old gods are dead, and their thrones are empty. Kairos, a young pirate with the ability to speak with animals, has an ambition: to ascend as the newest deity of a flooded world. But divine power is not given. It is taken.

Now Kairos must sail the endless sea, tame fearsome monsters, and conquer new lands. The challenges are many, but he will face them all. For Kairos is a cunning [Rogue] indeed…

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.

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.

Godric

Born under the oppression of those who believe they have the divine right to rule, Kalon dreams of seeing glory restored to his people.

For a thousand years his people have toiled under the noble houses of the galaxy. They have lived under the boot for so long that most have forgotten their once great empire. When Kalon learns the truths of those who oppress he seeks to right the wrongs done to his people. Starting from the lowest caste among the lowest people in the Galaxy, he must break the system of oppression to rise and see his dreams realized.

Allegiances of noble houses and governments will sway with the changing tides as conflicts arise across the galaxy. Worlds will burn. Empires will rise and fall. Republics will tremble and shatter. An ocean of blood will be spilt for the whims of gods who have grown deaf to the cries of the many.

The time of the forsaken draws near and the very foundations of power will shake across the cosmos.

The Last Human

★ 4.58

PSHoffman

Thousands of years ago, HUMANKIND was destroyed ...

… but the xenos still worship them as GODS.

Now, xenos build cities among the majestic ruins scattered across the worlds. Though these alien people are surrounded by ancient wonders and relics, few understand their true powers. One Empire has learned to harness the remains of humanity's forgotten technology to reconnect the distant worlds ... and dominate them.

Eolh is a jaded, avian thief who was raised in the dark underbelly of Gaiam, a city full of winged xenos and soaring temples. When the Empire first stormed through the Gate, Eolh and his friends fought and bled to defend their home.

But the resistance died a long time ago.

No one dreams of fighting back, because only the Empire knows how to wield Humanity's forgotten weapons: warships that fly, robotic constructs that hunt, and rare mysteries scavenged from the tombs of the gods.

Instead, Eolh lives a half-life: thieving, running jobs, and selling his services as a freelance listener for the last gangs of Lowtown. He trusts no one, and only looks out for himself.

But when an unusual heist takes a deadly turn, Eolh must bargain with an overzealous android who carries an impossible secret—one that will shake the foundations of the universe.

There is one last hope for salvation.

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.

RE: Deity – The Breath of Creation – [Stubbed]

★ 4.75

Infamous Goose

Book 1 Available on Amazon!

Book 1 Stubbed November 19th
Synopsis:
Sometimes the multiverse needs expanding. That's where I come in. Unfortunately being a deity isn't all fun and games, as there are always things working against you. Not even the Overgod of the Multiverse can change that.

Longer Summary:
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, and were given a grace period in which they could expand their domains in relative safety. Once that period is up, however, the created universes will be able to interact with each other and other universes...as well as be at the mercy of the Void. I am one of those souls, and it's not easy. Between trying to raise up gods to defend my realm with, guiding mortals, accidentally making a xianxia world, and dealing with my own children, I have my work cut out for me. Now I know why back on Earth gods worked in mysterious, invisible ways. There's just too much to be done.

What to expect: Worldbuilding in the most literal sense, lots of POV's, Xianxia elements, and more. The LitRPG elements are very light, be warned if you're coming in for that.

This is a rewrite of an old story. It's been about six years since I dropped the previous, and having grown as an author and person, I decided to revisit the concept. The old one will be left up, for anyone who wants to revisit it or look at it from a legacy standpoint.

Updates will be twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.

The Twelve Apocalypses: A Damned Soul’s Path to the Abyss

★ 4.6

AT Valentine

The universe is big, and Hayden's about to invade it.

Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, it’s not exactly like he can appeal the decision.

Surrounding Hayden are demons, excited and ready. For them, the invasion promises a feast of souls and new growth. Their target? Berlis — a sword and sorcery realm straight out of classic fantasy.

Hayden’s human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, meant to be cannon fodder that soaks up damage and dies first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he’s learning that he was born for the madness.

"I'm enjoying the hell out of this story. Valentine can write."

- R. C. Joshua, author of How to Survive at the End of the World and Demon World Boba Shop

+ Grimdark action and violence
+ Fighting, lots of it
