Accidental Necromancer

★ 4.61

KevinMc

Where were you, the day life as we knew it ended, and magic returned to Earth in a rush? When goblins, undead, and dragons were restored? When the electric grid went down for the last time, and gunpowder stopped exploding?

Selena Serrano was in school; med school, to be precise, and Human Anatomy class if you wanted to be even more specific. When magic returned it woke things which ought to have remained sleeping - like the cadavers her class was supposed to be dissecting...

To survive this new, changed Earth, Selena will need to become more than she had been. She'll have to understand magic, harness it, and in the process, she'll become the Accidental Necromancer.

Welcome to the Magipocalypse. Come right in! We have zombies...

Ren is back, and the Tower isn’t waiting anymore.

The Patch has walls. The guild has a name. But enemies are leveling faster than the rules can be written—and Ren’s plans are running out of road.

Expect:

– Real-life district politics

– Super Ren

– The beginning of the Merger

Strength Based Wizard (Book 1 COMPLETE)

RMCollinwood

For some wizards, Intelligence is just a dump stat.

Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low. He lost his job, his fiancée dumped him, he moved back to the Midwest and currently lives in his parent’s basement—oh, and his workout was just interrupted with the arrival of the System.

Earth has become a playing field in a contest amongst the gods, where mortals are the pawns. The winning god gets the glory, and their chosen champion gets a single wish. The first stage of this game: Tutorial – Class Selection.

Provided the ideal stat array for a physical, combat-focused class, the choice for Joe is obvious. Until he fat thumbs the selection screen and ends up selecting Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat? 1.

With a useless class selection and only his raw testosterone-fueled strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. Pumping all stat points in Strength, he hopes to not only survive the contest of the gods, but to win the whole damned thing.

After all, a real wizard should be measured by how much they can bench!

. . . . . . . . . .

What to expect:

- A slower-paced beginning

- A System Integration story that will shift into a System Apocalypse story

- GameLit / LitRPG elements weaved into detailed character arcs

Dungeons & Deliveries – A Post Apocalypse Comedy Adventure [Book 1 Complete]

SagaScribe

In post System Toronto, Alex doesn’t slay monsters to get by. He delivers pizza.

Broke and rejected by the Adventurer’s Guild and the Courier Guild, with nothing but a crumbly resume, Alex takes the only job left in town: Delivery Boy for Nino’s Pizza, a Lich Pizzeria run by a married couple literally bound to the building.

His task? Deliver enchanted pizza to Dungeon Bosses in sixty minutes or less, or suffer the Dungeon Bosses and the old couple’s wrath. Armed with a seemingly useless ability, Alex must dodge adventurers, deal with psychotic exes, and pray for loot in place of tips.

But with each delivery, he’s not just getting by, he’s building a reputation, forming unexpected alliances, and helping the world’s weirdest pizzeria grow into a living legend.

What to Expect:

- Pizza

- Dungeon running

- Post System Integration Toronto

- Psychotic Characters

Posting as fast as I can muster.

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...

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

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.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial, and he is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well. Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.

There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.

Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?

Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG adventure set in an epic fantasy world that is rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered. There are strong horror themes, graphic violence, overindulgent use of naughty language, and poorly constructed jokes. Mage Tank features slow progression and intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.

Maps and world-building support by Sir Raiu Koren.

3 chapters per week on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
