Synopsis

PHASE SHIFT INCOMING!
Your local sector has been selected to undergo a Quantum Phase Shift in order to increase its habitability. Any humans who survive this process will receive more information on these changes. Expected Survival Rate: 1 – 5% Phase Shift begins in 3…2…1…Commence Phase Shift!
Troias Drakos awakens to find that the world he knew is gone, and a new reality has risen to take its place. Most of Earth’s life was killed in a single instant, and those that survived have been granted powers and abilities that seem almost magical. Unfortunately, this world is filled with terrors and monsters that are equally powerful…or far more so. Only by uniting and learning to use their new abilities will humanity survive.
Troias has been given a unique set of powers, and if he is to have any chance to survive, he must learn to master these and become a true Spirit Warrior. Will even his great abilities be enough to survive the Quantum Shift?

(Book 3 Complete!) Runeblade: A Delving & Skill Merging LitRPG

Bacon Macleod

Kaius just wanted to unlock his class - instead, he restarted the apocalypse.

After years of training, Kaius has barely acquired the first two of his family's legacy skills. Powerful and vanishingly rare, the method of creating them is a secret people would kill for.

Now they might be the only thing that keeps him alive.

Narrowly surviving a bandit ambush, he gets trapped in the Great Depths- a world spanning dungeon. To escape, he will have to slay one of the Guardians that defend the exits; a feat no one without a class has survived. Ever.

If that wasn’t bad enough, if he succeeds he will reignite a forgotten trial that nearly ended civilization.

-Exceptional MC, with some initial Slow Burn elements

-Large scope, inspired by epics such as Azarinth Healer, BTDEM, PH, and more.

-Numbers go brrrr

-No harem, romance, or VR

Hi everyone! After being a RR reader for many, many years, I have decided to throw my hat in the ring. This isn’t the first litRPG i’ve ever written, but it is the first I’ve decided to post. I hope you enjoy and leave plenty of comments and feedback :)

Patreon is 50 chapters ahead.

Frostbound [LitRPG Apocalypse]

PenguinKills

Everyone dreams of gaining magical powers at some point in their lives, be it flying through the air or throwing fireballs from their hands. When the time finally comes, and mana arrives on Earth, it's not all its cracked up to be.

Transported into a tutorial with his family, Christopher has to fight to survive while trying to keep his family alive. After three grueling months inside a tutorial where tragedy and death seem to follow him around, Chris struggles for power and the chance for revenge.

When the survivors return to a changed Earth, conflicts arise. Various players vie for power and to expand their influence, while Chris tries to carve out a place for himself and the rest of his family free from any more conflict.

Others aren't so keen on sharing what they think should be theirs.

Current Release Schedule is one chapter every weekday (5 days a week) at 4 PM EST.

Inspired by the amazing stories of Primal Hunter, Path of Ascension, Unchosen Champion, and Path of Dragons.

Professionally edited and published versions of volumes 1 and 2 can be found on Kindle and as audiobooks on Audible!

Avo was born to destroy New Vultun. In a twist of fate, he’ll become its only hope for salvation.

The gods were the enemy. The slaver. The chains. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to become more – to ascend.

Instead, they nearly destroyed the world.

Vast hive cities serve as the final bastions against the crumbling of reality. New Vultun is the greatest of them all, and within its borders, ascenders wage war to determine the laws of existence itself.

The world descends ever deeper into ruination.

Avo was born a weapon, a slave to his instincts and his masters. He and his brothers were made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when Avo gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy.

He must ascend the megacity of New Vultun. He must challenge the very tyrants that usurped the gods.

He must finally free the world from chains.

Irwin’s Journey – The Cardsmith

★ 4.59

Carrarn

Progression, magical cards, weak to strong, card reforging!

The young, sickly Irwin has seen nothing but bad luck in his short life. When his brother finally returns with a magical card for him, his luck is about to change. But will it change for the better? Irwin is sent off together with another group of youths to placate a group of sorcerers. With just a weird utility card granted by his brother, he can only pray to stay alive long enough.

[Has been updated with the rewrite of the first 27 chapters]

This is a Card gathering story! Crafting is initially not the main focus, but as the story progresses, it becomes more and more important to the MC.

Slow-paced, starts dark, weak-to-strong (but slow)

Release schedule: [Fri/Sun] Roughly 22:00

I am still a non-native English speaker (hard to change), so even with the edits and rewrites, you might find some oddities. Let me know, and I'll fix them right up.

Adam is no one special. He’s just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning, because his craving for Jameson’s croissants finally broke him. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for him, as the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries.

The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance. They’ve decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity’s future is at stake and it’s all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. After all, he’s no one special.

Despite it all, he overcomes the first Stage. He attains some measure of power and then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it.

Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies.

What to expect:
- Infrequent timeloops (but no two loops the same)
- Weak-to-strong protagonist
- Clear progression
- Roguelite-inspired GameLit (meta upgrades, etc.)
- The existential horror inherent to time-travelling
- Huge build variety (Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, etc.)
- Meta upgrades and recurring characters

New chapters every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday
Bonus chapters at every 500-follower milestone

Inspired by Korean SysApocs like ‘Master Hunter K’, and by Action Roguelite games such as ‘Hades’ and ‘The Binding of Isaac’

A Lonely Dungeon

★ 4.62

cathfach

When a new dungeon is born, it wants nothing more than to have the most vicious monsters, the most cunning traps and the most shiny of loot. There is only one problem, but it's a rather big one; it finished its first floor years ago, but it still hasn't been visited by any adventurers! In order to find someone or something to explore its floors, or perhaps just to find someone to talk to, this dungeon will have to go way off script. But it soon discovers that going off script brings problems of its own, and that adventurers are not the only thing this world is missing.

A shortish story about a dungeon's journey of exploration and self-discovery in a devastated world. Cover made (poorly) with POV-Ray.

Prequel to An Unbound Soul

Accidental Necromancer

★ 4.61

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...

To The Far Shore

Warby Picus

Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail.

Mazelton comes from a clan of radiation wizards who harvest the cores of living beings to power their magics, but he's not really in to it. Not that anybody cares about his opinion when they send entire armies to exterminate his family. He has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him to survive apocalypses. A world recovering from the last apocalypse should be easy.

Story is now complete, with occasional updates of epilogue chapters.
