Synopsis

This is book 2 of the series! If you haven’t read book 1 (which you can find here https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/34776/new-game-reborn-as-a-reluctant-demon-lord-book) then you should probably do that first to avoid spoiling yourself in the synopsis.

But that’s just a suggestion. If you want to be confused, go ahead.

Have I used enough space so that you can’t see this in the preview yet? Okay, good.

—–

For a [Demon Lord], not even death is the end.

So, after death, I found myself revived once again in the world of Placeholder as a grotesque monstrosity.

That was my first reincarnation, but it would not be anywhere near my last.

Disillusioned with the admins and their quests, and wanting nothing more than to fix the mistakes of my past, I set out with a new goal in mind.

To bring back the woman I loved. Or maybe… to ensure that she never died in the first place.

Dragonheart Core

★ 4.61

Atenburgh

To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death.

The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes, curled on his silver throne; but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises, screaming, and chases the thief to the ends of the world—only to be shot from the sky.

But dragons do not die easy, and never one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse.

If he intends to survive so near the cove of pirates that slew his past self, he'll need to master his powers—and quickly. For these pirates are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders.

Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core will have to fight to survive; and one day, he will return death to the man who killed him.

Updates on Fridays at 8 pm EST!

Apocalypse Reaver [Bk.1 Stubbed Now on KU & Audible]

tobascoasako

Book 1 [Formerly Gilgamesh] is now stubbed and available on Kindle Unlimited and Audible: HERE!

Torn from his life by gods capricious and cruel, he is thrust into their Divine games in a strange new world.

His name stolen, he resolves to call himself after the first and greatest of all heroes—Gilgamesh. However, corrupted by his new powers, he slowly walks the path of darkness and damnation as he kills for pleasure and power. The more he kills, the more willing he becomes to continue the slaughter as he brings the evils of his old world to the new.

For his dark destiny, long foretold, leads down a path of darkness and horror.

Such is the fate of the Watcher of Deep Places.

[An Epic LITRPG with an unrepentantly evil MC]

**Very slow-burn with genociding, godslaying payoff**

[Warning: An unpleasant and very flawed MC who slowly gets worse. He is NOT a hero.]

Do not expect;

*A main character who does not need to struggle for anything.
*A meaningless leveling process.
*No bags of holding, instant inventory, telepathic party chat, instant fast travel, and a helpful system (or a fairy guide that explains everything).
*LitRPG elements that are so complicated that they distract from the story.
*Artificial mercy.
*On-the-nose political or social messaging.
*Harems.
*A main character who can do everything and is loved by everyone.

Expect;

*An introduction to a beautiful world steeped in the influence of the steppe, middle-eastern, and Asian cultures.
*A hopefully subtle discourse on the nature of evil and the corrupting influence of power.
*A realistic depiction of how a person would react to suddenly being transported to an alien world to fight at the behest of the gods.
*A magic system with a very real and dangerous cost.

n.b The MC is slowly going cuckoo. He is a bit all over the place and is definitely one tomato short of a salad. This is what happens when magic and the divine mess with you [at least in my mind!] This is a feature, not a bug. Enjoy the story.

Winter Knights

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!

Zacheas

The unwanted second prince of a powerful but corrupt Kingdom in a world of monsters and magic is set on the dangerous path of vengeance. Prince Ren Drakemore, under the protection and guidance of his demonic maid, works to covertly gain power, influence, and allies in hopes of eventually killing his own father, brother, and anyone else who stands in his way.

Bloodstained Blade (Gamelit, Sword MC)

★ 4.65

DWinchester

When the sword awakens, its slept so long that it has forgotten everything but hunger. It is a weapon made to feast on death and blood, and the more bodies that it leaves in its wake, the stronger it gets. Bloodstained Blade is a fantasy gamelit, where the main character is the blade, and not the person wielding it. So, expect the wielder of the blade to die occasionally and be replaced with another man or monster as the Ebon Blade pursues its own goals no matter the cost.

Expect: Upgrades, plot twists, new wielders, numbers to go up, violence, and revenge.

Updates: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.

Nobody’s Hero [System Apocalypse LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

★ 4.55

noct

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!

PathOgen [Forge Your Own Path] Reader Interactive

★ 4.75

Vitaly S Alexius

This is a 100% reader-interactive, game-like book, based on my novel Technomagica. It is written in collaboration with the readers - every comment drives it forward. Once there are enough interesting or fun comments on each chapter, various paths forward begin to manifest that you can [choose] to follow.

Summary: Soviet bio-weapons designer Vladislav Kerenski died in 1992. Upon meeting "god" he rejects a continuation of his narrative. It's up to you to help him survive the darkness of the Astral Ocean.

This is the only book on Royal Road where your choice can make the MC become a villain or a hero, to die horribly and quickly, or slowly and painfully, to live out an interesting life, to become god, or to be trapped in a nightmarish loop without an end!

The Distinguished Mr. Rose: LitRPG Adventures of a Gentlemanly Madman [Book 1 Stubbed]

★ 4.61

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.

You can also read ahead on my Patreon (currently up to 15 chapters)
