Synopsis

“With a comfortable onesie, and the ability to stop time, anything is possible.”

Dragons, Catgirls, Guns, and Magic. Oh, and the ability to stop time. What more could a modern gal want?

Well… If my past would stay locked in a dark corner back on Earth, that’d be nice.

Right. There was that one other thing. Finding a way home before the world ends. But hey, that’s what my mom would call the last step in your five year plan.

The first?

To play with magic.

Rewrite of To Play With Magic based on oodles of feedback from readers. Thanks so much for all the feedback.

*LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal.

Re:Cursed

★ 4.75

Joroboros

As the perfect sacrifice, it is only natural that Nix be sacrificed to the ancient gods lurking in the depths of the black hole.

But she didn’t die.

Finding herself seven years in the past — to the day of her first cursed mutation — Nix is determined to correct her regrets, enact vengeance on her murderers, and simply live the life that she never got to. But even with this second chance, freedom from the cults remains a pipe dream. To achieve everything she never could in her previous life, there is only one path before her.

Nix will twist the curses that once bound her into the very source of her strength.

The cults will regret sacrificing her… without ever knowing they already succeeded.

What to expect:
- A regressor revenge story with a heavy focus on character.
- Eldritch monsters, gods, and cults.
- Body horror. Mutations. Mouths in tongues, mould instead of hair, bonus limbs; that sort of thing
- Progression.
- LitRPG-lite system focused on the power of names.

Mark of Time: A LitRPG Timeloop

★ 4.63

KrazeKode

In a trial of gods, where eight Marks would compete to find treasures unseen and vast, a ninth one appears with the ability to revert time.

***

Jennifer was ready to enter Lienmont's Mage Academy, the place she'd been aspiring to reach for years now, in hopes of learning the many secrets of magic. What she hadn’t expected was to be dragged into the city's dungeon.

Her journey found her in a trial of life and death that left a Mark seared on not just her body, but her very soul. And if that wasn’t enough, when she escaped the dungeon, she found her city in flames, burning as monstrous invaders slaughtered everyone they came across, including her.

When Jennifer closed her eyes, she was certain her life had taken an unfair and tragic turn. But then she opened them, only to find that none of it had ever happened.

The only proof she hadn’t gone mad was the Mark on her hand, burning with an inner fire.

★ 4.53

JaffaJessie ( J.L.Rabone )

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

Cultivation System: Elder Edition

★ 4.59

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...

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.

Note: See author's note in the prologue for content warnings, publication schedule, and a more in-depth description of the story's content and direction. Book 1 is currently complete and will be stubbed when the story is published on Amazon. We're on hiatus until book 2 is ready to begin being published. Updates will be posted here, Discord, and Patreon.
