Synopsis

Once upon a time, nestled deep in the enchanted forest, there was a little daycare…

With her post-graduation work prospects looking slim, Sofia is more than willing to take any opportunity that comes her way. Still, wrangling rebellious three-year-olds was never a career path that she saw herself pursuing.

Yet what seemed on the surface like a straightforward job quickly proves to be anything but. The inexplicable appearance of strange and magical creatures soon has her questioning her own sanity. Dryads, fairies, orcs… even her coworkers begin to appear as though they’d stepped right out of a fairy tale.

Between the mysterious happenings around her and the antics of her young students, Sofia soon finds herself in over her head in more ways than one. Yet that doesn’t stop her. One way or another, she’s determined to get to the bottom of this obviously impossible situation. She’ll unearth the secrets of the daycare, even while struggling to manage the rambunctious children that constantly find new ways of getting into trouble.

But she can’t help but wonder… is it really all in her head? Or is there more to this daycare—and the world around her—than meets the eye?

Welcome to Ms. Grimm’s Daycare—where imagination comes to life and fantasies make their home!

Ideworld Chronicles: The Art Mage

★ 4.7

OneDropRain

"Does the art ever dream of you?"

I never had a destiny.

Orphaned young and raised by a crime lord to be a daredevil thief in his image, I spent years trying to live a normal life, clinging to the rare moments of connection I could find. I was always searching for the truth of the world, and of myself.

But when my passion for art pulled me into a twisted reflection of Earth and awakened my power over Artistic Creation, I had to face a question I could no longer avoid:

Would I finally be able to paint my own fate?

My name is Alexandra May. I am the Archmage of the Domain of Artistic Creation. Eyes in the Sky. The Memory Weaver. The Angel Slayer. The Color Bender. Friend to Shadows. The Thief who stole the World.

And this is my story.

What to expect:

A sharp, flawed, and funny protagonist. A dangerous world split between modern Earth and a myth-twisted sister realm. Magic that’s inventive, unique, and deadly.

Alexa isn’t perfect. Far from it. She’s clever but burdened with trust issues, hubris, and greed. And she doesn’t start strong. She doesn’t gain her powers until a quarter into Act I, and even then, she fumbles more than she flourishes: building tools, not dominance. Her real magical growth doesn’t begin until midway through Act II, when the story’s pace and stakes surge.

The magic system is anything but ordinary. Forget fireballs. Think salt-armored warriors, flesh-twisting tentacles, or symphonies turned into weapons. Battles are fast, brutal, and surprising, with real consequences. Characters die. Sometimes even those you thought untouchable.

The world unfolds in layers: Earth as we know it, and Ideworld, where myths, dreams, and nightmares rule. The deeper introduction to Ideworld’s ruling powers and factions doesn’t fully arrive until Act II, but once it does, the scope widens dramatically.

What ties it all together is Alexa’s voice: humor laced with cynicism, keeping the story sharp even when the stakes turn deadly. The cast around her is just as layered: flawed, human, and compelling. No caricatures.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia

★ 4.72

Ya Boy

The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on.

It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads?

That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

Silhouette

★ 4.55

GrimCat

WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one?

One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley.

One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark.

One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body.

Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between.

Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows.

Cover by TheWinterer.

Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading.

So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting.

Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Murder in the Temple (LitRPG | Progression Fantasy)

★ 4.74

Malory

Welcome to Soar, where your Level, your Class, and your god decide how you live and how you die. Unless you’re Jana Lowe. Then you're all kinds of screwed.

When a High Priestess turns up dead in her own temple, the city does what it always does; shrugs and keeps moving. Corruption’s just part of the landscape, and dead holy women aren’t rare enough to make the betting books. But this particular corpse has Jana’s name written all over it, and for once, that might not be a bad thing.

Once, he had a Class, a patron god, and a future. Now? He’s broke, suspended, and, worst of all, fresh out of divine favour. Just a low-Level Private Investigator with limited Skills and a very punchable face.

To crack the case, Jana has to find a way to level up without a god’s blessing, dodge the wrong kind of attention, and wade through a city where faith is currency and murder’s just part of the market. And if he lives long enough to find the killer? Maybe - just maybe - he'll be allowed to get his job back.

He’s Classless. Broke. Out of luck. But murder in Soar? That’s his kind of trouble.
