Synopsis

The demons won. The world ended. Or did it?

Wulf is one of the last survivors of the demonic apocalypse. At the brink of oblivion, he’s sent back forty-one years to prevent the end. Now he’s a first-year again at Istalis Academy.

Having his advancement reset is an opportunity to do everything better. But Wulf is sent back with a seemingly useless crafting class. Nobody can know or he’ll be expelled from his fighter program, where he’ll be expected to channel his abilities through the hollowed-out vessels of stone giants.

The more Wulf learns, the more he suspects the class change isn’t an accident. Perhaps what mankind needs isn’t just future knowledge. It’s someone whose legendary class can change fate itself.

A Fate Alchemist.

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!

Surviving the Succession (A Transmigration Fantasy)

Formerly titled Transmigrating Into the Main Character's Political Rival

Kayla is a burned-out college graduate who's neck-deep in student debt, stuck in a minimum-wage job, and about to be evicted from her apartment. One morning, she abruptly wakes up in the body of a short-lived villain from a web novel set in Ancient China. Now, Kayla has to deal with living in the body of a man while trying to survive as the doomed political rival of the Seventh Prince. She'd rather roll over and play dead than take on a fight, but fate and the Imperial family seem to have different plans for her. Caught in a web of political intrigue and backstabbing amidst a succession struggle between the Imperial Princes, it will take Kayla every ounce of wit she has to stay alive.

A political fantasy set in Ancient Chinese with elements of magic, transmigration, and time travel. Updated irregularly.

Re:Birth: A Slow Burn LitRPG Mage Regressor

At 79, Adom is an old mage who has known nothing but illness and regret. When the world finally burns and all hope turns to ash, at the last beat of his fading heart, a mysterious being appears in the dimming light with a simple question:

"If you could try again, would you?"

What's left to lose when you've already lost everything?

A handshake seals the deal, and Adom wakes up on his old school grounds, sixty-seven years in the past. When everything is still possible. A second chance with all his knowledge intact, his memories preserved, and his youth restored.

This time, Adom wants it all: to feast on food he's never had, to travel a world still full of wonder, to finally live the life he dreamed of. There's just, as always, one small catch—he needs to prevent the end of the world first.

But as Adom will soon discover, changing history might demand sacrifices even greater than watching it burn...

What to expect: This is a slow burn. And it's hopefully going to be a very, very long story. I wanted a character driven fantasy, with action, comedy, and a lot of heart in it. Everything has been carefully considered to create a coherent world with a magic system that makes sense.

Our protagonist is not OP (yet) but is not a pushover either, just a former researcher mage forced to become something else entirely to prevent his world's end and discovering that things were not entirely the way he thought. This is his journey, told step by step, with all the struggles and triumphs that entails.

The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere

★ 4.73

Lurina

The world is in the midst of a golden age. Humanity has been largely united under a single government for two centuries, scarcity has been all but eliminated, and the human lifespan has been extended further than ever before, with many living for five centuries or longer. Yet cracks have begun to form in this utopia. Progress in science has outpaced social values, leading to conflict as the new generation struggles with the prospect of perpetual disenfranchisement under their all-but-unaging elders.

In this era of transition, a class of gifted young arcanists are invited to attend a conclave held by the enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea, an ancient organization devoted to pursuing the secret of true immortality. Several of the participants, however, have ulterior motives for attending, including Utsushikome of Fusai, a young prodigy of Thanatomancy whose grandfather was once a member.

But unbeknownst to them, there is a curse on the Order of the Universal Panacea. One does not defy death and the natural order lightly. And an uninvited guest may already lurk among them; one that is not human.

In the end, all of them will have to ask: What can be found in this world, that is truly eternal?

The curtain rises on this, mankind's final battle with entropy, and the possible outcomes are death, or a slightly later, more complicated form of death. Even so, please try to enjoy yourself.

---

This story is a whodunnit-style murder mystery with a focus on psychological drama and personal horror. The setup is long, but hopefully will reward attentive reading.

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

beddedOtaku

[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...

Rise of The Living Enchantment [LITRPG REGRESSION]

★ 4.51

The First Observer

What do you do when you and a group of people are summoned to another world to stop the Demon King and your brother becomes the Demon King?

The answer to that is quite diverse, but Aiden had one.

In an attempt to save his brother, Aiden is caught in a clash of spells between the Demon King and a mythical opponent, suffers 'recommended' termination at the hands of the very system that had been a part of his life since being summoned, and wakes up back in the beginning, on the day of their summoning.

With past experiences and knowledge, he's got a second go at it, and Aiden Lacheart has no intentions of allowing his brother become the Demon King once more. The only problem is... he doesn't think he's the only one who's come back in time.

As the perfect sacrifice, it is only natural that Nix be sacrificed to the ancient gods lurking in the depths of the black hole.

But she didn’t die.

Finding herself seven years in the past — to the day of her first cursed mutation — Nix is determined to correct her regrets, enact vengeance on her murderers, and simply live the life that she never got to. But even with this second chance, freedom from the cults remains a pipe dream. To achieve everything she never could in her previous life, there is only one path before her.

Nix will twist the curses that once bound her into the very source of her strength.

The cults will regret sacrificing her… without ever knowing they already succeeded.

What to expect:
- A regressor revenge story with a heavy focus on character.
- Eldritch monsters, gods, and cults.
- Body horror. Mutations. Mouths in tongues, mould instead of hair, bonus limbs; that sort of thing
- Progression.
- LitRPG-lite system focused on the power of names.

Lost In Translation

Dissonance

If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things.

And people have branded me a myth.

But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone.

My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen.

These are what real myths are. And me?

I'm no legend.

I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick.
