Until Death? (Refleshed Version)

★ 4.54

Andur

Ever been a god? Well, I was!

Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea.

Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing.

Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope?

Author's Comment:

It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it.

Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series.

So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever.

And now the disclaimer everyone knows:

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)

I Became The Scoundrel In The Popular Dating Sim

★ 4.58

Ares_00

Pro Tip: Never play a game 100 different times, no matter how addicting it is!

~My Lovely Harem School Life~

Just like the cringy name suggests, it's a well-known dating sim that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines, fun story, and most importantly, the significance of the player's choices that influence the endings.

...But why did I end up transmigrating into the scummiest character in the game, Yagami Reiji, the heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash that harassed the main cast, the trash that bullied the students, and the trash that ultimately 'steals' the heroines if the player makes the wrong decisions.

A walking bad ending.

Why me?

And out of every possible role... why him?

Now, I’m trapped in a life that isn’t mine, surrounded by classmates who flinch at my presence and a father who expects me to inherit an empire built on blood.

Can I rewrite Reiji’s fate before his past drags me down with him? Can I live a normal school life when the shadows of the underworld are watching my every move?

I’ve got multiple targets on my back, a reputation in flames, and to make matters worse, the original protagonist is somehow a complete moron.

This isn’t a dating sim anymore.

This is my reality.....

WHAT TO EXPECT:

- Slow burn harem romance, with each heroine having a lot of development and depth

- Good variety of side-characters with their own lives, motivations, and personalities

- Lots of slice-of-life moments

- An expanding plot that eventually goes far beyond the game's confines, with various storylines and diverse arcs

Cultivation Online [A VR Xianxia Adventure] – On Hiatus

★ 4.64

Ema

Warning! This story is on an indefinite hiatus.

Update 2/8/25: Currently being rewritten on Patreon. Updates will resume once I feel satisfied and ready.

Benjamin Bishop gets a new lease on life as the new, ground-breaking VR game "Cultivation Online" is released, shattering the world's supposition of what a VR game can accomplish. Join him as he uncovers the secrets of immortality in a virtual world that is far more than it appears.

Author's note: So, recently I was inspired by this story on WebNovel which many of you might have read (called "Cultivation Online"). The idea of combining LitRPG and VR with Xianxia appealed to me and immediately piqued my interest. Unfortunately, while popular and successful, I cannot say that I liked how the author chose to tell their story. Thus, this is my attempt at something similar, but hopefully different.

What to expect:

- A pragmatic and logical male lead

- Virtual reality with a unique twist

- Weak to strong

- Sect politics

- Cultivation

The Arcane Emperor

★ 4.52

Aternus

Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, sought to create a new spell far surpassing the magic of the few he inherited from his grandfather. Yet the interference of an unknown event during the casting of his spell led him to be thrown through space and time.

Where status screens were accepted as normal and class distinctions were quite clear. Leveling and achieving a class beyond a simple farmer or peddler was an affair of life and death combined with years of hard training. Goblins were not the fodder that they should be, orcs filled bedtime stories in order to scare children into behaving, and a dragon? You might as well pack up and move to another country.

He, however, enters this world with the rare and powerful class of the Arcanist. How will the recently ardent seeker of magic find greater heights, or will he land in deeper depths?

A modern girl in a medieval cultivation world {Isekai, Xianxia, Cultivation, Fake Noble, Business/Empire building}

★ 4.57

MentalLogic

Sabina had led a fulfilling life. At the ripe old age of 104 her biggest gripe was that her days were boring and her body was failing her. It was a good thing her life was ending, after her life, helping manufacture weapons during the war, running her own successful chain of bakeries and clothing stores and teaching snotty nosed teenagers while dealing with teen drama, it was the boredom doing her in!

So imagine her surprise, when she gets transmigrated to a Xianxia cultivation world, into a body of a 13 year old commoner Sa Bina. How exciting. The only issue is that no one believes she is a commoner due to how she speaks and acts, and she end up enrolled in a school for nobles. All she wants to do is have fun in her new life, but people keep expecting her to "grow up" and take "responsibility" how bothersome!

What to expect

An actually intelligent female MC

Chapter will drop most days as they are written. The plan is to release 5 chapters a week M-F.

Teen drama that is humorous to the MC

A girl who just wants to have fun!

Xianxia and cultivation lite. MC will become powerful, but accidentally

Lots of face slapping!

Slice of life

What not to expect

No system, screens or LITRpg

Apart from a language skill, no other boons or "golden finger"

Depthless Hunger [Underdog | Xianxia | LitRPG | Monster Hunter | Fantasy]

★ 4.46

Cognosticon

Kai is the hardest working warrior in his generation... and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. His only choice will be to forge a new path against fate, no matter where it takes him.

Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland, threatening the survival of civilization itself. They say that human strength isn't enough and only those gifted with destined powers have a chance of making a difference. Kai is hungry to fight in that war, to be someone who matters. That hunger will take him across a world stranger and more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.

What to expect:

* "Strong to stronger" slow burn. The MC is an underdog for many chapters before earning his unique ability.
* Stats exist as a natural part of the world. They aren't introduced until several chapters in when the MC unlocks spiritual sight.
* Different magical abilities exist in different regions and balancing them is an essential part of the system.
* Chapters post Monday-Thursday.

Value Loyalty Above All Else [Star Wars]

★ 4.68

LostInTranscription

“No one rules alone. That goes double when ruling something vast, like a world. Or worlds. Or entire star systems. But if you get dropped into a universe that you really don’t want to be in? With powers that, at best, attract a cult of child kidnappers? And at worst, well. You might not need that advice after all. You won’t live long enough to need it.”

Knowledge is power. Question is, will power through knowledge be enough?
No. It really, really won’t be.

A Star Wars the old Republic self-insert. Because why not?
Follows the sith warrior storyline.

‘Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ is accurate. Violence, death, sex (non-explicit kind), torture and all manner of nasty things will be here. They are sith, not puppies. Rape will not be graphic, but will indirectly be mentioned. Once again, sith.
