Synopsis

There’s one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies.

Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration, everything else is on the table. Everything except immortality. After all, if anyone was immortal, then Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator for life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator for forever.

It’s a good thing no one is immortal, then.

Especially not Levi.

Similar vibes to The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City, a satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist!

Book One Blurb:

1897, as the world teeters on the edge of war, Volundr, Ambassador of the Society of Nations, gathers a diverse cast of individuals with extraordinary abilities. Steve, a devoted single father looking for his missing lover, and Alice, his mischievous daughter, will join Volundr. Other members seek redemption and vengeance, while some yearn for a place to belong. Cursed and desperate for answers, they agree to assist Volundr in exchange for his teachings on thaumaturgy and alchemy.

Their first mission takes them to the Unseen City, under the threat of a devastating terrorist attack. Amidst the chaos, the most powerful thaumaturgist the world has ever seen, Miss Xana, has other plans for the city. She will stop at nothing until those who wronged her face the consequences they deserve.

Book Two Blurb:

Miss Xana and her followers are on a quest to find a long-lost relic from the past.

Meanwhile, the reconstruction of the Unseen City is ongoing after being ravaged by dragons and a terrorist attack. In the wake of last year's tumultuous events, a power vacuum has emerged in the city, allowing new players to wield their influence on a global scale.

Volundr and his men failed their very first mission spectacularly: Steve got his daughter kidnapped, Kyrie deserted the cause, and Leo, Anna, and Alouqua's children got lost who-knows-where.

How will Volundr and his weary entourage, disheartened by their recent setback, confront these fresh challenges? And amid it all, they have yet to go to Africa!

Prepare yourself for a thrilling alternate historical fantasy set in the late 1890s, a time of political intrigue where magic clashes with science, where kaiju roam the earth, and where awe-inspiring battles hang in the balance. The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of this unlikely group of heroes as they battle against forces both seen and unseen.

What to expect?

- A time when technology is gradually turning from Steampunk to Dieselpunk.

- Slow burn/Character-driven story

- Political intrigues.

- Alternate historical drama + Fantasy.

- Multiple lead characters.

- Magic meets Science.

- Shonen anime-style fights.

- Kaijus and destruction.

- Lots of waifus and husbandos

- NO Harem

- NO Cultivation

- It may contain some mild Fantasy Violence, but nothing too graphic. (Check out my Patreon for an Uncensored version)

Inspiration: the Fate series, Full Metal Alchemist, Harry Potter, the Mistborn saga, Kaiju cinema, and George R. R. Martin shenanigans.

Upgrade. Consume. Evolve. Whether it’s cybernetics or mutations, this world demands you be more than human.

Every century, the MALswarm invades — adaptive aliens of blood and steel led by Titans that decimate billions and leave behind raw Warp Energy. Humanity seizes this power, transforming into beings of mutated flesh and cybernetic might. Yet the promised utopia remains a lie, and New California’s underworld schemes to profit from the impending Fifth Swarm.

Amidst the chaos, two destinies collide. Ripley — a cybernetics savant battling to save his dying mother — operates in the shadows of a gang-owned nightclub. Diana, engineered for perfection, fights as an officer of the law to forget her past. When a monster is unleashed, they steal its infinite potential to warp their futures with their newfound powers.

In a city where salvation and damnation are inseparable, Ripley reinvents himself from the wreckage of his enemies' cybernetics as a mercenary who will one day become an architect of ruin. Diana's mutated blood crackles with lightning as she purges corruption, igniting into a storm of change. Against a grand conspiracy of aliens, rogue AIs, shady corporations, organized crime and centuries of forgotten history, their alliance — and conflict — determines if the world will plunge into darkness or embrace the light.

Wrong City? Wrong People? No. This is the right city, and they're the only ones who can save this dystopian future.

In the Clash of Blood and Steel, The Eclipse rises — echoing in Thunderous Omens and Webs of Lies.

What happens when you mix GodClads, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Akira and a dash of Blade Runner into the mix? This novel.

What to expect?

- Two MCs on opposite sides of the law. Crime vs Police. Mercenary vs Investigator.

- Superhero/Supervillain Themes. How far will they go to achieve their goals?

- Two distinct Power Systems. Cybernetics vs Mutations.

- Adaptation-based Progression. Every Powerset is a story of survival.

- A medium-burn story. Fast-action; slow-burn drama.

- Slice-of-crime. Criminal hijinx, cybernetic crafting, conspiracy investigations, and asskicking.

- Both MCs have separate romantic lives... for now.

- Weak to strong to legendary. Power. Fame. Money - they'll get it all.

- A long Sci-Fi Epic. Three Acts Per Volume. Ten Volumes.

- Eventual alien invasion and Kaiju fights.

Author's Note: This story can be pretty heavy at times. T/W's include: Gore, death, profanity, sexual themes (no descriptions), drugs. Honestly, my novel might be a list of war crimes one day. This story was highly influenced by some downer moments in my life as the characters learn that they can accept the darkness in them and embrace the light. As tragic as elements of this story might be, it is about overcoming tragedy. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Accidental Necromancer

KevinMc

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...

What to expect

-Early slice of life chapters with puppy family.

-Villain arc?

-EVOLUTION!

-Her skillset will revolve around her nature as a predator and have a lot to do with hunting prey.

BLURB

She’s a puppy. She’s a girl. And she’s going to evolve.

Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things.

Playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps at all hours of the day, and most importantly, leveling up and evolving!

With five brothers and sisters who all have their own unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and Cerberus Dad with three heads, she was sure nothing could ever go wrong in her new life.

That is, until human hunters show up and attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters.

Now she’s by herself in a world that is so much harsher to face alone. But she won’t give up. She’ll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge on those damned humans and get her family back!

Raven_Aelwood

In the hidden corridors of time and mind lies the great gamble. So it was that Paul Atreides—Muad'Dib, the one foretold as Kwisatz Haderach—steeped his soul in the Water of Life. Yet where he should have emerged to the familiar spice-laden dust of Arrakis, he instead awoke to the mocking giggles of a high-school classroom. His body not his own. His memories fleeting, borrowed from a boy named Greg Veder.

Cast into a strange universe where grim forces and towering powers clash, Paul's once-certain vision falters. The lessons of the desert remain, but the path ahead is no longer lit by starlight and prophecy. Faced with impossible enemies and a cosmic tapestry woven from alien threads, Muad'Dib must glean anew what it means to stand at the nexus of fate—before he is swallowed by a future he cannot truly see.

QuiteTheSlacker

Book 1 is now live on Amazon and KU! The link is here: The Distinguished Mr. Rose

There is one thing in life Lucius values above all else, and that is beauty.

As the humble owner of a flower boutique, one with a bloody secret hiding underneath, Lucius is surrounded by all the beauty he could ever want. Flowers, art, and even people... everything in no short supply.

But when he's suddenly whisked away into the sky along with the rest of humanity, and forced to participate in a series of games, trials, and adventures into foreign dimensions by astral beings, Lucius discovers a new frontier full of possibility. This wide universe, these unique lands brimming with beautiful, blossoming souls—the world is endless, and so too is inspiration.

With style, with grace, and with a gentlemanly candor, Lucius seeks to draw out the inner beauty in all.

And he will not rest until they bloom as their truest selves.

What to expect?

- A villainous, but gentlemanly, MC

- Excursions into a wide variety of worlds

- Classes and Skills

- Deception and manipulation

- Tea parties

- No senseless evil or violence. Lucius is not going to go on a random murder spree or commit vile acts just because he felt like it. He's a gentleman after all—he abhors being vulgar.

- A man who knows full well the type of nature he has, and revels in it.

Will update daily until chapter 50, which will then shift into two times a week: Wednesdays and Saturdays.
