The Morgulon – Werewolves, Hunters, War and Politics

★ 4.62

Kerma B

Loegrion is a country thrice cursed.

Least of the three is the occupation by the Valoisian Empire, which the people have grudgingly learned to live with.

The second is the Rot, spawned by the spells the invaders used during their crusade: Magic spoiled and twisted has infested the fertile meadows, lively rivers and deep forests of Loegrion, turning the very land against its inhabitants and granting a perverted mirror of life to things that should be dead.

Third is the oldest and most dangerous curse: Werewolves, big as horses and hungry for human flesh. It’s this curse that, if left alone, would kill the most, if it weren’t for people like the noble House Feleke, hunters and sworn enemies of the monsters.

Greg Feleke, youngest of four, has it all figured out. He’s going to do his part in slowing the spread of the third curse—for a few years, until he’s made enough money to get by on his own. Mostly, he wants to prove to his overbearing family he has what it takes to join the family business.

However, when his opportunity finally arrives, it all goes wrong. Greg is bitten, and suddenly finds himself running from his own family. But while hiding on the edges of society, he learns that the three curses might be closer connected than anyone knew—and that the cure might be more fantastic and yet closer at hand that anyone could have dreamed.

Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

★ 4.64

TSeris

"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work? Can we complain when they turn reality into a game? Can we get a refund on life itself? The gods claim they answered our prayers. That they built this world with us in mind. That they brought us here for our own sake. Maybe they did. Personally I think they have their own reasons. We're not the players in this game, we're the pieces on the board.

Still... What if it's fun?"

Axiom of Infinity follows the story of several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives for themselves in a world with monsters and dungeons, where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, and where the gods themselves seem to be playing a very different game–one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by another, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations, a pawn destined to become a queen.

This is a LitRPG Novel built on a hard system with a lot of depth and customization, but which tries not to beat you over the head with numbers constantly. In this world finding and reporting bugs and exploits is both encouraged and rewarded, and the gods have found the most qualified testers in the multiverse: Us. Now the unsuspecting natives of Astra are going to have to learn to live with a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet slinging nerds and gamers of all shapes and sizes as we do what we do best... break things.

The Courting of Life and Death

★ 4.59

VMJaskiernia

Buy the books, or cross-post your RR review, please and thank you! ❤

Clandestina is a realm of secrets, fairies, and dark magics. Among the nobles there is talk of a goddess of death, and a forbidden magic she grants to those that follow her-- cræft that can heal injuries that should be fatal or even bring back the dead. But she asks for much in return; blood and sometimes even life itself.

Pierre Salvador has just returned to court after finishing his studies and becoming a surgeon. But as he flirts with his childhood friend Elizabeth Anne, Mora, The Lady of Death, waits for him.

I do not take my books down from Royal Road. I do edit, polish, and rewrite things for the published release. (Vol 1 is just short.)

Empire of Night

★ 4.77

Svenwritesbooks

In the eyes of the Sorcerer’s Guild, Inerys’ blood has been corrupted since birth.

Born of mixed blood, she has two choices in life: toil away as a second-class citizen in one of the seven city-states or carve out a fringe life gathering precious materials for the Guild alongside her fellow hounds. For her kind, life is short and often met with a brutal end. Though for her younger brother, it doesn’t have to be. For him and what remains of her family, she risks life and limb hunting a forest few dare to enter.

When desperation drives her deeper into the dangers of the Endari Wilds, she encounters an otherworldly force her mortal mind can scarcely comprehend. Her brush with death leaves her forever changed with a deep, ancient hunger she can barely control and a soul that threatens to tear her body apart from the inside.

Until death? (Old Version)

This is the dated Version. Please search for the rewrite.

Ever been a god? Well I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods!

Apparently they didn't like the whole idea that my Faith is the only true one! Oh and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? Though, I admit that ultimatively, I caused it.

Seems like I got sent onto a vacation as punishment! Or so I hope?

Author's Comment: 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)

Little Devil

★ 4.62

DocteurNS

Samael has lived her entire life in what most people would call Hell... because it is!

Fire, brimstone, demons, orgies of sins, pitchforks, and tortured souls—all that good stuff.

But Samael is clueless about any of that. Her time was spent in the deepest reaches of Tartarus, living as a wandering hermit with her devil father and the occasional visit of a naggy angel aunt.

Meanwhile, Sophia lives a peaceful life as a young priestess on a sacred island, mostly ignored by the world at large.

However, as her day is taking a turn for the absolute worst, an unexpected ally will stumble into her path and completely turn her peaceful existence over its head

Fish Out of Water: The Catgirl Fishing Isekai

★ 4.93

Relyet

Four friends, tossed into an unfamiliar world for reasons unknown.

Oceanus is one seriously messed up place. With simmering tensions between nations on the rise, vicious pirates that'd slit your throat as soon as look at you, mysterious sea-dwellers that might drag you to the depths, never-ending storms that wander across the ocean, and a bloodthirsty empire that wants to subjugate the whole world in the name of their Goddess, finding a nice, quiet spot to call your own is no easy feat. Even the islands don't sit still for long, carried along on the backs of enormous sea creatures. And on top of all that, High Society drifts above the clouds in their fancy floating cities, living the high life while treating the surface like their own personal all-you-can-eat buffet.

So what can one lone catgirl do about all that?

I dunno. Let’s go fishing!

What to expect:

~ A comfy, queer slice-of-life found family story about self-discovery, adventure on the high seas, and the addictive dangers of fried fish.

~ A primarily light and fluffy tone that occasionally will dip into some heavy themes, but will never wallow in them.

~ Four central protagonists with their own personal journeys to undertake, at first alone and then, together.

~ First person POV for the the primary protagonist and third person for everyone else, which will occasionally rotate to one of the other three protagonists.

~ Chapters may/will get fairly chunky, I'll try not to regularly exceed 10k but if it happens, it happens.

~ A lot of scenes describing catching, cooking, or eating, increasingly weirder fantasy fish.

~ In case you missed it the first time, this story will have a lot of queer themes. People will discover things about themselves, and there will be some gender stuff going on, so please feel free to give this one a pass if that's not your thing.
