Synopsis

Hi everyone!

The heavily edited version of this story is slowly making its way over to Kindle Unlimited and Audible. The first book is set to release on Oct 28th, with more to follow! As a result of the Kindle Unlimited Exclusivity deal, though, I’ll be forced to ‘STUB’ the books on Royalroad and Patreon. I promise it’s worth it, the edited versions are way better thanks to the great team of editors at Portal Books! Any content cut from the books will remain on RR as side stories when possible!

Thank you, everyone, for reading my stories and supporting them, and I hope they continue to keep you entertained!

Some rise to the top in search of fame. Some want power.

Others do it out of spite.

Eli Winters was never interested in playing The Shattered World, thanks to his deadbeat father, Makaroth, the number one player. But when his best friend convinces him to try it out, a heat-of-the-moment bet presents a chance to finally get some retribution. Eli now has one goal: to become more powerful than his dad, win the bet, and force him to delete his character.

The problem? He’s six months behind, only level 1, and the top players are already over level 100. However, through hard work and lots of trial and error, Eli discovers a secret weapon, a unique skill that will boost his experience gains massively.

But there’s a catch. He’s not allowed to deal any damage whatsoever.

In a game where killing is the fastest way to level up, he’ll need to get creative. Picking a healer class is probably a good start…

The Quest Giver [An NPC LitRPG Adventure]

★ 4.54

A. Stargazer

A young man yearning for adventure must confront the harsh reality of a world that might not be the real one to begin with in this LitRPG fantasy adventure.

For Prince Hail Teoran, there’s never been a greater hero than his own father, a true living legend who came through the gates with his fellow Travelers years ago to rescue the continent of Lagrea from the forces of darkness. Unfortunately, when the young prince actually meets his dad for the first time, he turns out to be, well, a total jerkweed.

Naturally, Hail is crushed. That is, until he’s visited by a seemingly all-powerful administrator who explains that Hail, his mother, and everyone in their world are part of a game the Travelers are constantly playing. But that doesn’t mean Hail isn’t special. In fact, as a product of the union between his Traveler father and NPC mother, he’s an ever-evolving AI—or native player character—which means he has the ability make his own way, seeking adventure, facing danger, and occasionally screwing up in truly epic fashion.

This series is being published by Podium Audio. Book 1 is available on Amazon and Audible. Book2 is available for preorder on Amazon and Audible. and will be published February 13th, 2024.

Assassinate Wonderwind (OPMC, Romance)

★ 4.85

Matizu

Aiden lives in Wonderwind, the world’s biggest VRMMO. He dropped out of college, ditched real life, and invested everything into a career as a cold, calculated virtual assassin targeting the richest players in the top-500 leaderboard—every kill executed to perfection.

Until his headset glitches mid-mission.

One flicker, one lag spike, and suddenly rent’s due, and his landlord’s about to kick him to the curb. Aiden realizes his next job might be his last. He logs into a high level area, Ray Dragon Falls, severely underleveled, equipped with utter trash gear, and prepares one final assassination.

He just didn’t expect to fall for his target.

Schedule: four chapters a week, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday

Tinea and Leah [Cyberpunk, Alien Incursions, Murder and Mayhem, Sapphic Romance (WLW)]

★ 4.67

Eleeyah

Tinea...had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties. It didn't teach her much else.

So she'd ran.

Crossed an ocean, grown up, and discovered the world. She'd made her life her own. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, she'd fought to be happy.

Until the rabid aliens invaded her neighborhood.

Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, she'd made a life-ending choice...and was rewarded beyond her wildest dreams. Or, perhaps exactly to her wildest dreams; dreams of a chrysalis, come to life through DNA-changing Vanguard science.

Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection, for togetherness.

It just so happens, an opportunity lies not far.

What to expect:

Plot is discovered, not designed. Consequences shape events, rather than scenes being designed to push plot. Characters, relationships, and setting are particularly strong, plot can get WILD in amazing, unexpected ways.

- A serious approach to transforming male to female, using sci-fi DNA morphing. Tinea starts out as Aden, but quickly gains his wishes.
- Maturity from both leads
- WLW/GL/Sapphic: from the soft and cuddly, to the (clearly marked) explicit
- Gratuitous violence against unthinking aliens
- Get points, buy gear
- Cybernetic upgrades
- Organic augmentations
- Occasional slowburn sections
- Many, many chapters

This work is set in the universe of RavensDagger's Stray Cat Strut, but it ISN'T necessary to read that first. Further, Tinea and Leah has been recognized officially as canon by master Raven himself. Cheers!

I develop my own plot and characters. Thank you for reading. :)

The cover art was drawn for me by Jero, who can be found on my Discord server - links in each chapter.

Royalroad staff has designated this story as Original so that I may post my Ko-Fi link in the chapters. TnL is still a fanfiction-slash-extended-universe-slash-canon-thing for Stray Cat Strut, regardless of the "Original" tag. :)

VRMMO: Nerf The Archer!

★ 4.69

Laszz

Max is a regular guy who enjoys playing video games in the comfort of his home.

However, he only enjoys playing if it’s a challenge, so he always plays on the hardest difficulty.

When the first-ever full-dive VRRPG ‘Hero of Liberation’ came out, Max scraped together his savings to buy the game and capsule to play it.

After four years playing on the hardest difficulty with the crappiest capsule, the game company finally released a sequel – and it’s multiplayer!

Upon being gifted a new capsule by his loving uncle and sister, Max is excited to see how his skills fare against other players.

The Eternal Assassin

★ 4.52

Wizardly Dude

First they ran from death. Now they run from him.

Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher is surprised to find there is one type of dead body his training as a mortician’s apprentice didn’t prepare him for. Not exactly a fan of being held captive by the dead any more than he enjoyed being held past closing time for them, Asher decides to use his newfound dimensional abilities to see himself out.

Only after stealing the culmination of a few centuries worth of illegal magical experimentation of course.

In a world where resurrection magic means death is more of a suggestion for the upper class than the rule, Asher eventually discovers his stolen power is capable of ensuring anything that dies by his hand, stays dead.

For some reason, a lot of very powerful people find this rather upsetting.

An ancient cabal of forgotten liches. The elite organization of noble truthseekers. Even the kingdom’s famous assassin’s guild. It seems just about anyone who deals in death wants to claim his mysterious power for themselves, and most of them will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Not unless Asher can get to them first.

Release Schedule: 5 chapters a week Monday-Friday, with the occasional bonus chapter.

What to Expect:

[+] Weak to Strongest (slow burn).

[+] Assassin MC with a hunger for battle.

[+] Evolving Skills and Unique Magical Combinations.

[+] Romance (not harem).

[+] Death.

Progression Sci-Fantasy Cyberpunk LitRPG | Street-Samurai Combat x Dungeon Crawling | Mana + Metal + Trauma

Magic broke the world. Corporate greed broke him.

John Ranson is a washed-up combat engineer with a glitching arm, dwindling hope, and a family to protect in a threadcursed future.

Then came the package. Inside: Athena, a forbidden AGI who downloads herself into his broken mana and neural circuits—wearing the face of a dead friend.

Now he sees the code of reality: mana, monsters, memory, and threadways.

But power comes at a cost:

Corps want what's in his head. Threadbeasts want his blood. And something worse is already watching.

Good thing he's not alone, he's got:

» A forge-running oni who bleeds clan loyalty.
» An orichalcum katana once held by a fallen lover.
» Dog tags that still whisper blame.
» And a voice in his head who might believe in him more than he does.

When ghosts are real, the undercity eats intruders, and a dragon is president, there's only one way forward: dungeon-deep into a world that already gave up on him.

Forge your path. Burn your past.

If the corps or monsters don't kill you, the magic will.

Welcome to New Cascadia.

Summoned by Monster Girls

★ 4.59

M.Tress

Life hit Liam Cosgrave hard, like it has for a lot of people. Forced to work a dead end job to make ends meet, he barely had energy to do anything besides work and sleep. His life was basically just day to day survival.

That is, until he was summoned to another world in a freak accident.

Sitting in his truck after a fender bender on the highway, Liam was questioning whether something was out to get him. At that moment, events conspired to toss him to another world. Upon arriving, he met a pair of interesting young women who had been trying to summon a creature to act as a party member and protector, as well as a school project. Instead they got Liam, which was more than they had bargained for, given that humans were creatures of legend and myth in their world.

He had no sooner agreed to work with these two when the same mysterious force that transported him there promptly reversed and shot him back to Earth, leaving him with a parting message that the girls would call him back soon.

And thus, Liam's life trying to balance his day job and being summoned to another world started. After all, what sort of mischief could his girls get up to that they'd need a 'legendary creature' to get them out of it?

---

This is a SLOW BURN harem story. There will be a harem but it isn't going to get rushed. There will be gore, fighting, realistic reactions to death and emotional conflict. Also slice of life! Since the girls demand the chance to just relax after all..

Also lots of monster-girls.

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.
