Synopsis

An editor at the prime of her life—and with maybe just a little too much free time—finds herself waking up in one of her favorite RPGs with no clue as to what’s going on or how to get back home.

This might be the part where others rejoice over getting whisked away to a world of wizards and magic, but she certainly doesn’t think it’s anything to celebrate about.

After all, she woke up in the body of a small-time villain with some severe personality issues.

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.]

I put all the warning tags to give myself creative freedom, but the story isn't filled with excessive gore or swearing.

This is my first time writing other than for school projects. The gender-bender tag is only for the beginning because I wanted to try writing from a female's perspective and needed an excuse for why my MC reads a little tomboyish. The gender-bender fades into the background over the first few chapters; please don't let the tag keep you from trying out my story.

Synopsis:

Second chances are rarely earned and even rarer given. Follow a new life in a new world where anything is possible. Our MC wakes up, stuck as a baby, needing to decide how she will live her new life. Let's see what future she can forge when hard work rewards her with status points and skill levels.

Author's Note: I'm currently slowly going back and rewriting my earlier chapters, so if you're starting to read this for the first time, try not to be alarmed if the quality suddenly goes down after reading a few chapters. I started writing this story almost three years ago, and I think I've improved as a writer since then. I appreciate your understanding; enjoy.

Saintess Summons Skeletons

★ 4.58

Mornn

You can buy Book 1 on Amazon!

Who needs a Hero? I only want skeletons!

She wanted to be a Necromancer, but awakened as a Saint! Somehow her summoned heroes are all undead?

How will the church react when their Saintess summons a skeleton in place of a mighty hero? Sofia isn’t too keen on finding out.

To many a summoned hero, this world looks oh so familiar.

Beastmen, Dwarves, Trolls, Dragons and Elves!

Saints, adventurers, dungeons, maybe an evil demon lord to be vanquished?

A video-game like system! Classes, skills and levels!

Although... why is the system even a thing to begin with?

Do gods really choose saints like you pick your next meal?

There are great powers at work beneath the surface, this is their world, and you're living in it.

Follow Sofia as she unknowingly gets tangled in power struggles far beyond what she had bargained for.

Be ready for a wild ride. Break a leg, skeleton!

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)

New Life As A Max Level Archmage

★ 4.78

ArcaneCadence

Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life.

But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old faces and new in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose.

Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.

Reforged from Ruin [Eldritch Xianxia Cultivation]

★ 4.55

Silv3rtongue

[BOOK ONE STUBBED AND UNDER REVIEW! LINK INCOMING SHORTLY! SORRY FOR THE MIX-UP / DELAY!]

Raika used to be a Cultivator. She lived in a sect, fought in tournaments, and cultivated to spite the heavens, as a cultivator should. While she was never the strongest, fastest or wisest, she held it in her heart to never, ever give up, and to stand for her ideals.

And then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled.

In a world with a sun made of flaming serpents, reality-defying entities running amok, and a timeless, all-knowing Emperor ruling all through the power of his Blades and the constant advances and experiments of his Divisions, Raika is less than worthless, unable to see and feel the blood of reality- but when it's surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a new path, Raika will find strange secrets, hidden paths to transformation, and abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and far more powerful than she ever thought possible.

In a world replete with enslaved Daemons used as WMDs, reality-bending powers, eldritch-punk technology, and strange pathways of cultivation and magic, she'll have to find allies, confront gods and monster, and defy the Heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new. Facing a millenia-old Empire rife with corruption and unknown plans, impossible horrors from the edges of the world, Daemons, Witches, and her own broken soul, she won't stop until she's become truly free- but what will it cost, and can her insanity match the madness of the reality itself?

What to expect:
Slowburn power progression
Expansive worldbuilding and complex story
Weak to Extremely strong protagonist with a unique powerset
Complex villains and characters
A raging bisexual of a protagonist
Mutants, madness and mayhem, oh my!

This story is designed to add lovecraftian cosmic horror and weirdness to a Xianxia setting. If you like some biohorror, self-modification, well written violence and geopolitics under the eyes of ancient, alien beings, this is the one for you, darlings!

The Dragon Heir (A Monster Evolution/Progression LitRPG)

★ 4.51

Mangowo

Alt title: How to Dragon 101

Her body's a riddle, each hunt and every morsel devoured reveals another piece.

Magic, the currency of power in every corner of the world—pity poor Jade was born without a shred of it. No mana veins, no core to speak of, and as if that weren’t dire enough, she had the audacity to be half beast-kin. Scorn, ridicule, and outright bullying became her daily companions. That is, until one glorious day when she found herself kidnapped by a cult and tossed headfirst into some dodgy ritual.

Naturally, things went pear-shaped. But with chaos comes change—not just skin-deep, of course. Now a dragonling, her body has become a lethal, upgradeable weapon, and her mind? That’s a different battlefield entirely. And someone really ought to explain why the thrill of the hunt sends her pulse racing... and why, for the love of all things sacred, do those blasted monsters taste so irresistibly good?

What to expect:

- A monster evolution system, with Skills, Magic and Mutations
- This is a weak to strong story and Protagonist needs to sharpen her skills instead of just making numbers go up.
- Combat, power-ups, unique skills and mutation merges for powerful abilities

Current update schedule: 2/3 times a week (temp.)
