Synopsis

Avalon has more than five hundred enchanters, one thousand fortune-tellers, three thousand adventurers, eight hundred rikshaw drivers, six hundred and sixty six crossroad devils, and one therapist.

Harem counseling, dragon hoarding, extraplanar angst, John handles it all. Rain, shine, dumped by his former secretary, sudden blizzard in the middle of a sunny day, he does what he can for his clients and his fellow outworlders.

Avalon is a city at the center of a thousand universes and all types of people and not people live there. Giants, kobolds, elves, dwarves and species without names walk it’s streets. John never knows who or what will walk through the door asking for his help, but he’s always ready to give it.

Otherworld Therapy is a cozy slice of life comedy. It follows a character after a breakup and his experiences with his clients, his friends, and his lovelife. Please don’t expect everything to follow perfectly sound psychological advice, this isn’t that kind of book.

This book was written as a standalone and caps out at around 100k words.

Updates will be daily until the story is completed.

Chapter size minimum of 1500 words.

Full (admittedly only semi-edited) version is available to purchase as an epub/pdf on my Patreon.

Courier Quest is now available on Amazon and Audible, narrated by Giancarlo Herrera and Hannah Schooner!

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] x2 combo

This story was also a participant of Royal Road's November 2023 Writathon event.

You have been summoned here for one reason. Trevor, you need a break.

Trevor Anderson is just another normal, overworked retail worker. All he wants is his promised promotion, a chance to use some of his vacation days without feeling guilty about it, and time for his hobbies.

While waiting patiently for his life to improve, a workplace accident changes everything for Trevor, including the world he resides in. After he bungles his way through a summoner’s questionnaire and gains the Power of an extradimensional inventory, he lands in the peaceful town of Tosa.

In a world where he can finally relax, he finds himself both unable and unwilling to sit still long enough to do it. With everything he needs to take destiny into his own hands - a clean slate, a supernatural ability, and good friends - Trevor will use his Power to live life the way he chooses to.

What to expect

* Cozy (low stakes, good vibes), quests, SoL, romance, jokes, and probably some other buzzwords, too.
* A second book (at least, a rough draft of one). Probably a third someday.

The Eternal Assassin

★ 4.52

Wizardly Dude

First they ran from death. Now they run from him.

Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher is surprised to find there is one type of dead body his training as a mortician’s apprentice didn’t prepare him for. Not exactly a fan of being held captive by the dead any more than he enjoyed being held past closing time for them, Asher decides to use his newfound dimensional abilities to see himself out.

Only after stealing the culmination of a few centuries worth of illegal magical experimentation of course.

In a world where resurrection magic means death is more of a suggestion for the upper class than the rule, Asher eventually discovers his stolen power is capable of ensuring anything that dies by his hand, stays dead.

For some reason, a lot of very powerful people find this rather upsetting.

An ancient cabal of forgotten liches. The elite organization of noble truthseekers. Even the kingdom’s famous assassin’s guild. It seems just about anyone who deals in death wants to claim his mysterious power for themselves, and most of them will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Not unless Asher can get to them first.

Release Schedule: 5 chapters a week Monday-Friday, with the occasional bonus chapter.

What to Expect:

[+] Weak to Strongest (slow burn).

[+] Assassin MC with a hunger for battle.

[+] Evolving Skills and Unique Magical Combinations.

[+] Romance (not harem).

[+] Death.

A Novel Concept – He Who Eludes Death

★ 4.52

Priam

Can you get used to dying? He has to.

When a particular universe was born, seven primordial Concepts acquired an ego. Omniscient and omnipotent, they seek since to enrich their home. To do so, they plunder other universes, capture young civilizations and plagiarize ideas. Many monsters, gods, civilizations, and races are competing for the eighth throne.

Eons later, it is Earth's turn to be torn away from its Sun.

Humanity begins its integration by participating in a Tutorial. Priam has both the luck and the misfortune to finish it first. Luck because his reward is a form of pseudo-immortality. Misfortune, because as the champion of his civilization, he is transported to Elysium, the most dangerous world created by the Concepts. Nine out of ten champions lose their lives there on their first day. Fortunately for Priam, he has many lives.

Until death? (Old Version)

Andur

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)

Hoard

★ 4.69

Webbonomicon

Kaln wasn’t even trying to slay the dragon, it was just in the way of his revenge.

But he did, and it led to an obstacle greater than the dread dragon himself: his three widows. Declaring Kaln their new husband by right of conquest, the dragons tempted him with surprisingly beautiful humanoid forms, with the palatial lair and vast riches owned by the beast he had just slain, and Kaln just couldn’t refuse.

After all, a hoard and dragon wives could surely aid in his vengeance.

Unfortunately Kaln’s beautiful new brides are vain, greedy, lazy, selfish, manipulative, violent, arrogant, and generally...dragons. They are also ancient, incredibly powerful, smarter than him, and only proposed this arrangement to use him in their own schemes.

But sometimes, the people who are the most difficult to love prove most worth the effort. Sometimes, a delay in your path can lead to the happiness you'd never realized you were searching for all along. And sometimes, such as when you've upset the world’s balance of power by killing an ancient dragon, protecting that happiness means fending off a world full of opportunists who want a slice of what's yours.

At times like that, it's handy to be married to three horrible monsters.

Heretical Fishing: A Cozy Guide to Annoying the Cults, Outsmarting the Fish, and Alienating Oneself

★ 4.58

Haylock

Book 1 is available on Amazon, KU, Audible, and print!

A world abandoned by the gods, mystifying cosmic forces, unimaginable power for those willing to ascend, and a hero who would rather . . . go fishing???

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn’tlike most MCs. In fact, he doesn’t want to be a hero at all.

Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that’s a good time.

Unfortunately for Fischer, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. He’s hounded on all sides by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and more magical misunderstandings than those of a preteen relationship. Even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

So grab your fishing rod, fetch a good snack, and pet your dog for me. The catch of a lifetime awaits!

Summoned by Monster Girls

★ 4.59

M.Tress

Life hit Liam Cosgrave hard, like it has for a lot of people. Forced to work a dead end job to make ends meet, he barely had energy to do anything besides work and sleep. His life was basically just day to day survival.

That is, until he was summoned to another world in a freak accident.

Sitting in his truck after a fender bender on the highway, Liam was questioning whether something was out to get him. At that moment, events conspired to toss him to another world. Upon arriving, he met a pair of interesting young women who had been trying to summon a creature to act as a party member and protector, as well as a school project. Instead they got Liam, which was more than they had bargained for, given that humans were creatures of legend and myth in their world.

He had no sooner agreed to work with these two when the same mysterious force that transported him there promptly reversed and shot him back to Earth, leaving him with a parting message that the girls would call him back soon.

And thus, Liam's life trying to balance his day job and being summoned to another world started. After all, what sort of mischief could his girls get up to that they'd need a 'legendary creature' to get them out of it?

---

This is a SLOW BURN harem story. There will be a harem but it isn't going to get rushed. There will be gore, fighting, realistic reactions to death and emotional conflict. Also slice of life! Since the girls demand the chance to just relax after all..

Also lots of monster-girls.
