Synopsis

A second chance. An opportunity to delve down the Path to Transcendence, where Tiers and Skills reign supreme.

Grief took Julian’s family. Fate gave him another life.

Reborn as Julius Von Hyperius, he awakens in a world where power is measured in tiers, skills, and the will to keep climbing. Surrounded by ruthless nobles, terrifying monsters, and an unknown system, Julius has only two choices: transcend or die.

With a relentless spirit and questionable decisions, he carves his own path. Each breakthrough brings new foes, higher stakes, and the terrifying truth that transcendence demands sacrifice.

If he wants answers—and a future—Julius must master his abilities, outmaneuver significantly more powerful enemies, and survive the trials that forge legends.

What to expect:

– Weak to strong

– Skill-centric story

– Cultivation aspects

– Training maniac

– Fun and enjoyable story

Eon R. Solara

Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path.

Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell. Even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn is rewarded with attributes, points, and power simply for stubborn hard work.

Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God.

None of this should have mattered to him, living on the fringe of the empire—until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.

What to Expect:

• [Reincarnation, but the MC does not retain any memory of his past in the beginning.]

• [Slice of Life, Crafting, Spellcrafting, Training, Slow burn, Weak to Strong, and silly things]

• [LitRPG elements, Detailed Magic system, Greek/Roman Empire-esque settings]

• [Magic Academy, Eventually]

• [Beast Companion?]

• [No harem]

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

[Action + System + Comedy + MC teaches protagonist disciples + Isekai + Cultivation]

While I wondered why the fender of a nice Cooper was growing bigger, fate spun elsewhere, and I woke up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation!

And, of course, there's a system: one that allows me to create any martial art that I can imagine... provided I have enough Creation Points.

And my first disciple just so happens to be a reincarnated monster from 10,000 years ago with an incurable poison that I can cure with my custom creation?

Hey, this can be fun--nope, it's terrifying! The reputation of the guy I took over is just... it's the worst! Not only do I have to raise disciples to earn Creation Points to raise more disciples, I also have to rehabilitate the image that not even the best PR team on Earth could rehabilitate!

These really are some crappy starting circumstances...

Just Add Mana

★ 4.7

SilverLinings

The more lives you've lived, the more mana you have, and Cale has lived too many lives to count.

At this point, his core is closer to the magical equivalent of a nuclear reactor. The downside to this is that conventional spells have become impossibly difficult to cast: Cale simply has too much mana. His spells collapse under the weight of his magic.

Then he finds himself summoned to a new world. One with a spellwork system capable of adjusting to his ridiculous reserves, creating new spells just for him.

Of course, things are never that simple. New magic means new things to learn, and if he wants to make spells worth having, that means going to a magic academy. On top of that, an old dragon has taken an interest in him, the kingdom's hunters seem alarmingly intent on attacking his classmates, and Cale's pretty sure at least one ancient evil has followed him from a past life.

But who knows? With magic back on the table, he might finally be able to perform what he sees as the true pinnacle of spellwork: baking.

Blueprint for Immortality: a Crafting Xianxia

★ 4.51

NoDragons

What to Expect: A slow-life xianxia with crafting, character-heavy writing, and exploring the world and people of Xianxia in a way the genre usually skips over.

Booker has woken up in the wrong body; a body ruined by drug-use, trapped in a dead-end life as the lowest possible form of apprentice in a massive sect.

But all this doesn't faze Booker. He's got a positive attitude, and when he looks into the mountains he sees a climb waiting for him. Better yet, he has the assistance of a magical book that will help him craft any pill in existence perfectly - a skill alchemists would fight and die for. With his skills in crafting, his patient soul, and his relentlessly upbeat attitude, Booker is climbing the first of many mountains.

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.

Fish Girl Evolution [Cultivation LitRPG]

★ 4.58

Lunadea

She's a fish. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve.

Shu wasn't always a fish. She wasn't even always Shu. However, after giving her life to save a child, she is rewarded (?) with reincarnation into a world of cultivation and immortals. That doesn't go as planned though, and she dies almost instantly, her soul fed to a mindless koi.

Now, not only is she stuck in the body of a koi, her owner is the very same man who cut her second life short. Her only saving grace is the System she was granted to help her get accustomed to the new world, and the information it provides. With it, she can learn to both cultivate and evolve!

What to expect:
- Monster Evolution shenanigans
- Xianxia shenanigans
- No romance
- Bubbles

IMPORTANT: I am now rewriting this story so new chapters will be very slow.

Might as Well

Sam went for a walk, with the goal of acquiring delicious baked goods. His journey landed him in the past of another world, with a set of memories that didn’t really belong to him. Making use of those memories, and his gaming knowledge, he joined the newest VRMMO, Magic Unbound, ready to enjoy his time in a game that was simply a pipedream in his original world.

Join us, as we read about Sam’s journey through the game and life as he transforms from a lone gamer into one surrounded by friends. Read as he deals with annoying villains, scheming edgelord gamers, and secretive assassins!

I will endeavor to stay true to the MMO genre while taking a few liberties to make it more interesting. However, this is closer to Slice of Life than anything. There will be drama, action, horror, humor, and everything in between, but I would call this entire thing a guilty pleasure reading (and writing).

I got bored with all those VRMMO novels that start out as VRMMO novels, then escalate into martial cage fights, alien invasions, dream dimensions, or whatever. I also don’t like how in several novels they take real-life skills into the game and the game is like: ‘Aight, you do you, bro!’.

This novel will keep the real world and the game world separate. Also, to me, it seems that many VRMMO writers have never played any MMO or other video games, or heard about things like patches, pacing, and vertical or horizontal gameplay.

The schedule is Tuesday/Friday!
