Synopsis

John made it rich when he was younger and bought a book store in a large adventuring city. He’s got enough money to live in comfort for the rest of his very long life so in exchange for books he merely asks for an interesting story. People of all walks of life come in and tell John all about the most interesting things they’ve done, and John gives them the books they want.

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!

Merchant Crab

★ 4.53

H0st

Book 1 is on Kindle and Audible!

Balthazar was just a random giant crab enjoying his life in a fantasy world full of bothersome human adventurers, but then he had to go and accidentally discover the secret of attributes and levels. And also pie. With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day.

Follow Balthazar as he does everything to find a baker... except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Witness how adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home. And cheer for a crab who makes great new friends by simply buying them.

Book 3 is out now, with new chapters fresh off the bakery!

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries?

Saga of the Soul Dungeon

★ 4.47

Mind the psychological tag. We spend a lot of time in the main character's thoughts.

When Caden dies, in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it.

And that doesn't take into account mastering his new abilities well enough to escape from the powerful wizard that is, understandably, leery about allowing a dungeon to escape.

And, even when he manages to escape he needs to found and manage a dungeon.

Of course, the location he chose might have a few issues of its own:

-It's on the border of two human nations, who are not particularly pleased to share.

-A sentient plant race claims the dungeon as sacred ground.

-And, amidst the chaos, teams of adventurers just want to make a living and figure out how to deal with the latest challenge.

And, as its own challenge, Caden doesn't want to lose his humanity, to merely become another murder-hobo dungeon.

Additional tags for gore, language, and sexual content added just in case. Note that the slavery tag applies, sort-of. Not really traditional slavery, just some aspects of the system can override free will.

This is a reworking, and continuation, of my original novel into first person. And it is going great! The writing is well past where my original novel got to.

This work will never be dropped. Hiatuses may happen due to life, but I will never abandon this fiction.

Currently 25+ additional chapters on Patreon, with book one finished, and book two started.

Valkyrie’s Shadow

★ 4.7

Aeridinae Lunaris

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.

A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.

There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.

[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

Ashlani’s Reincarnation [A Monster Reincarnation LitRPG] (STUBBING JANUARY 6)

★ 4.64

No_Creative_Name

Preorder the ebook and audiobook on Amazon here!

As a soon-to-be chieftain, Ashlani's responsibilities were numerous, complex, and often boring, but as a recently reincarnated keelish (a reptilian pest), his responsibilities only extend to 1. survive another day, 2. keep his belly full, and 3. kill anything that keeps him from numbers 1 and 2. Oh, and, if the opportunity arises, take revenge on his best friend turned murderer.

Ashlani was sent on his inaugural hunt as the chieftain-to-be of his tribe when he was shot in the back by the man he was closest to, the one he called his closest friend. Post-mortem, he was greeted by a [System], the elect, singular keelish representative. Now, his focus must be on continuous growth and evolution, to awaken to his grand potential, and lead his new people to a new age.

This is a reboot of my previous novel, Ashlani's Reincarnation, a grimdark take on a LitRPG reincarnation novel. This is a slower, more methodical approach to story, and I hope that its quality will reflect that. I update five times a week, usually every weekday.

Also, I've been asked enough, so I'll say it again here: No harem.

A Tyrant, Sort Of [LitRPG, Isekai, Dragon MC]

★ 4.6

farawaymuse

Sable didn’t know what she had expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard hadn’t been it.

And sure, she’s been thrust into a magic-crammed fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, but things aren’t all great, here. There’s hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal legion of undead to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms who want the first dragon in centuries to be offed sooner than yesterday—except they’re too busy warring with each other to spare the resources.

Good for her?

And what’s up with the [Levels], [Classes], and [Skills] stuff? Specifically, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats. She gets stronger the more gold she has? The more people are terrified of her? No wonder the human kingdoms want her head on a spike, with motivations like those. Dragons in the past must have been seriously unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less … evil … ways to progress?

What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be? Protection in exchange for tithes, and campaigns to make her seem scarier than she is?

That would make her a politician, wouldn’t it? A giant flying lizard politician.

What a headache.

Goblin Teeth: A Monster Party LitRPG

★ 4.69

JimQuill

"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you might get squished" -Goblin Wisdom

Daggat was born different, a variant, a monster with a random gift to shape his fate. After faking his death, he sets out on a relentless quest for freedom, power, and a place to call his own.

With a mind sharper than steel, a gaze that bends wills, and a tyrant’s instinct for control, he gathers a band of outcasts to carve their names into history. His siblings, a savage warrior and cunning rogue. The spider from the attic, cursed and forgotten. A worm with the soul of a dragon. And the last ogre of a shattered family. Each has their own scars to contend with. Be they physical, spiritual, or emotional.

Together, they will claw, scheme, and fight their way through a world that wants them dead, forging an adventuring party like no other! One that doesn’t just seek riches and glory, but the power to decide their own fates.

[You are invited to read story: Goblin Teeth. Would you like to accept? Yes or no?]

What to Expect:

Detailed world building and morally dark-gray characters.

A robust universal system with many interlocking layers that drives forward the story and shapes the world.

Goblin humor and visceral violence.

A lot of misery, but a lot of heart.

No Romance/Harem.

Not an isekei. (Reincarnation tag is there because of its importance in the story.)

Schedule:
Three chapters a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

--WARNING--

This story is bleak, at times. There are hints and themes of suicide, cannibalism, and tragic death. Some chapters are more horrific than others. The first 8 or so chapters are a lot lighter than the rest.

Read five chapters ahead!
