The Agartha Loop
They asked Amber to become a magical girl three times.
She refused.
That only made her more interesting.
The fourth time, she asked them.

Death has a funny way of finding Lynette Heversham, but after three lifetimes filled with pain, anger, and misplaced emotions, she finds herself waking, yet again, as her younger self.
Cursed to re-live as the Crazy Cerue Lady, can she survive her fourth time round, or will her past as a villainess bite back to haunt her? Can she survive the Viscount’s household when they have killed her before? As the unwanted adopted daughter, can guidance from the gods push her to unlock the power of her core to fight back against the summoners and demonic beasts who wish her dead?
Will this life finally hold the threads to change her fate?

This is a developing story I hope to improve and bring my ideas to life with. It follows a rise in power for a young girl exploring a system of magic and complications of country politics and the monsters that threaten the Zopan Empire. I would appreciate any comments on your thoughts on the story so far / where I can improve.
TO NOTE :
This is light LITRPG - It is not the main focus but comes in around chp 5/8. There is Otome inspiration mixed in.
Progression Cultivation - This is combined with the LITRPG system but is more central.
Romance - This will be a slow-burn romance, again not the main focus, but it will be there. You will have to guess who this may be for a while :P
Regression - This is a Villainess who has regressed, experiencing a part of her world she didn't get to in her previous lives

The Beast and The Swallow on Amazon
Of all the tales in all the lands, there isn't a story more famous and more heart-wrenching than the one about the Beast and the White Swallow.
Never heard of it? Then come closer, for it is about to unfold before your very own eyes.
In a far-away land of snow and mystery, the fates of two bastards entangle.
He is a warrior and a ruler. She is a physician with a tormented past.
Now both of them will have to learn not only to live together but also to fight against any and all that threatens to ruin their happiness. Amongst chaos, schemes, and war, will they manage to fulfill the most difficult task - finding the way to each other's heart and soul?
The path won’t be easy. A dark cult and even darker magic are resurfacing after years of slumber. And while they wreak havoc in the lands of Norden, the Star-gazer’s voice echoes in the night, heralding a dangerous future:
When the Beast falls, the Swallow shall triumph.
For the Sun to shine over Norden, the Swallow must be devoured.

How do you make a good first impression? Trial and error.
College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Talking to people has always been hard enough, not to mention romance.
Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that.
But even here, affection is not so easily earned. As Kaitlyn is beset on all sides by grueling classes, stinging loss, and her own faults, her hopes for change slowly give way to a fear that she'll never escape the endlessly repeating semester.
Then again, anything is possible with enough practice. Besides, it's much easier to make a good impression the tenth time around. And no matter how many times she fails, she can always try again.
And again.
And again.

The story of Jewel, a dutiful daughter.
A kind lady to the people in her village.
An enthusiastic bather.
She loves her home in the rural barony of Rochford.
She loves her brother and parents.
Jewel would be happy to be everything a baron's child should be.
Unfortunately she is also a dragon.
I died nine months from today, on the day that Fortress ENE, my home and one of the few safe cities left in North America, was assaulted by a million monsters pouring from the same portals we'd been exploiting for years.
Nine months. I have nine months to find out who is responsible for the breach, which corporation stands to gain the most, and who is pulling the levers of power to burn my home down.
What do I have?
A shitty apartment on the outskirts, a job interview in the morning that I'd passed nine months ago, and my obese cat, Mister Couchtop.
Oh, and the ability to set Save points and Reload to them as often as I want, reliving entire days or a few minutes over and over again until I get everything just right.
Yeah... I can do this.

"Does the art ever dream of you?"
I never had a destiny.
Orphaned young and raised by a crime lord to be a daredevil thief in his image, I spent years trying to live a normal life, clinging to the rare moments of connection I could find. I was always searching for the truth of the world, and of myself.
But when my passion for art pulled me into a twisted reflection of Earth and awakened my power over Artistic Creation, I had to face a question I could no longer avoid:
Would I finally be able to paint my own fate?
My name is Alexandra May. I am the Archmage of the Domain of Artistic Creation. Eyes in the Sky. The Memory Weaver. The Angel Slayer. The Color Bender. Friend to Shadows. The Thief who stole the World.
And this is my story.
What to expect:
A sharp, flawed, and funny protagonist. A dangerous world split between modern Earth and a myth-twisted sister realm. Magic that’s inventive, unique, and deadly.
Alexa isn’t perfect. Far from it. She’s clever but burdened with trust issues, hubris, and greed. And she doesn’t start strong. She doesn’t gain her powers until a quarter into Act I, and even then, she fumbles more than she flourishes: building tools, not dominance. Her real magical growth doesn’t begin until midway through Act II, when the story’s pace and stakes surge.
The magic system is anything but ordinary. Forget fireballs. Think salt-armored warriors, flesh-twisting tentacles, or symphonies turned into weapons. Battles are fast, brutal, and surprising, with real consequences. Characters die. Sometimes even those you thought untouchable.
The world unfolds in layers: Earth as we know it, and Ideworld, where myths, dreams, and nightmares rule. The deeper introduction to Ideworld’s ruling powers and factions doesn’t fully arrive until Act II, but once it does, the scope widens dramatically.
What ties it all together is Alexa’s voice: humor laced with cynicism, keeping the story sharp even when the stakes turn deadly. The cast around her is just as layered: flawed, human, and compelling. No caricatures.

The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest.
Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion.
Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn’t ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn’t matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage; Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn’t starting now.
He was already a god; now, he’ll have to become the god.
Art cover by Dinovoila and SelkieMyth.
Updates twice a week (2500/3000 words chapters) on Tuesday and Saturday. Contains deckbuilding LitRPG elements and a tactical-oriented System, a god who knows what he's doing (sometimes), base-building, and a colorful cast of mortal champions.
