Synopsis

Argus was a dungeon, sprawling for miles under the cities of man above all the way until a human, angry at the death of one of his companions, murdered him.

When he discovered where he was, he found that he had come back to life as nothing more or less than a human being, complete with its own nervous system, organs, and brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone, and he has to actually grow up.

How disgusting.

Death After Death (Roguelike Isekai)

★ 4.64

DWinchester

When Simon dies, it turns out there's more to combat than lightning reflexes with his controller, and the path to becoming a hero is more brutal than he can imagine as he descends into The Pit. Death after Death is a dark, time loop/Isesaki story with roguelike elements, that explores some of the common tropes in a different light.

This story is all about character development. It starts slow, and it never stops, as our protagonist improves slowly but surely, death after death after death.

Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Silhouette

WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one?

One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley.

One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark.

One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body.

Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between.

Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows.

Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading.

So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting.

Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Murder in the Temple (LitRPG | Progression Fantasy)

★ 4.74

Malory

Welcome to Soar, where your Level, your Class, and your god decide how you live and how you die. Unless you’re Jana Lowe. Then you're all kinds of screwed.

When a High Priestess turns up dead in her own temple, the city does what it always does; shrugs and keeps moving. Corruption’s just part of the landscape, and dead holy women aren’t rare enough to make the betting books. But this particular corpse has Jana’s name written all over it, and for once, that might not be a bad thing.

Once, he had a Class, a patron god, and a future. Now? He’s broke, suspended, and, worst of all, fresh out of divine favour. Just a low-Level Private Investigator with limited Skills and a very punchable face.

To crack the case, Jana has to find a way to level up without a god’s blessing, dodge the wrong kind of attention, and wade through a city where faith is currency and murder’s just part of the market. And if he lives long enough to find the killer? Maybe - just maybe - he'll be allowed to get his job back.

He’s Classless. Broke. Out of luck. But murder in Soar? That’s his kind of trouble.

The Good: Walter's been chosen by the Absolute Luck System and has infiltrated the Trials as a Lord Arbiter.

The Really Bad: Now he has to balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and Walter's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is.

Follow our unfortunate protagonist as he navigates this double life using his wits, smarts, and a little luck, and maybe he can survive long enough to become an Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune.

Nobody’s Hero [System Apocalypse LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

noct

There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies.

Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration, everything else is on the table. Everything except immortality. After all, if anyone was immortal, then Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator for life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator for forever.

It's a good thing no one is immortal, then.

Especially not Levi.

Similar vibes to The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City, a satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist!

Vell Harlan and the Doomsday Dorms

MrMander

At the world’s top college of magic and technology, every day brings a new discovery -and a new disaster. The advanced experiments of the college students tend to be both ambitious and apocalyptic, with the end of the world only prevented by a mysterious time loop, and a small handful of students who retain their memories.

Surviving the loops was hard enough, but now, in his senior year, Vell Harlan must take charge of them, and deal with the fact that the whole world now knows his secrets. Everyone knows about Vell’s death and resurrection, along with the divine game he is a part of. Now Vell must contend with overly curious scientists and evil billionaires hungry for divine power while the daily doomsday cycle bombards him with terrorists, talking elephants, and the Grim Reaper himself -but if he can endure it all, the Last Goddess’s game promises the ultimate prize: power over life itself.
