The Future That Never Was — The Rings Will Rise Again!

★ 4.64

Space Pickle

WELCOME TO THE RETROFUTURE!

The Future That Never Was is a book series project featuring an alternate space age where the Soviets colonized the belt before David Bowie sang Life on Mars; where rogue AIs took over the web; where pizza came in cans. Humankind couldn’t dream of a more exciting future. Yet, as foolishness eventually turned Earth into a nuclear wasteland, shadows began to conspire from the heart of the Moon to beyond the mysterious Planet Nine…

This extended universe in progress includes numerous R-rated titles. All of them will be uploaded on Royal Road for free. Check the Index or the list/links below for the main stories.

Join sassy space cat Lee and his Desert Eagle-toting, soda-swigging human partner, Ali, in a future stuck in the late 80s/early 90s. Board the dynamic duo’s ship, the mythical Kitty, as they bounty-hunt their way through a dystopian solar system—so lock and load, and shout Cowabunga! because it’s crime-fightin’ time!

🪐 PACHINKO BLUES - <START READING>

Amid the chaos of the Rings Civil War, a disgraced pilot finds himself tangled in a vast vendetta involving a megacorporation, android mercenaries and data-cartels. From Saturn’s Plastic Fields to the fringes of Kuiper, his violent redemption is an 80s-esthetic space western filled with tears, blood and... ducks?

Exiled to the Future [Space Opera | Kingdom Building]

★ 4.79

Ian Jager

James had always dreamed of inheriting his father’s throne. And then that dream turned into a nightmare.

Within the span of a decade the prosperous Duchy was been betrayed, invaded and pillaged. His father, the Duke, is dead, alongside a million of the finest sailors and marines the galaxy had ever seen.

And he…is sentenced to exile.

The last loyalists of the Dynasty stand by him. A mismatched flotilla of ragged warships and weathered freighters, turned away from civilized space and thrust into the deep end as the unwilling vanguard of human expansion.

Awakening in a universe wholly different to the one he left, James sees that humanity has forgotten the Akrites name.

Time to remind them.

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.]

The Ballad Of A Semi-Benevolent Dragon

★ 4.79

SecretTwelve

The story of a semi-benevolent dragon who occasionally does the right thing for the wrong reasons. Protecting villagers from marauding soldiers? Of course. They can't give tribute if they're dead or their crops are on fire! Destroying a tyrannical kingdom? Absolutely. They have treasure... that could be his treasure.

DrBlackJack21

Scott and his little sister Alice are trapped alone on a forest planet, struggling to survive in primitive conditions as they put what training he gained studying to be an explorer to use building a home for themselves using only their wits and what they can find in the wild to survive. What's worse, there seems to be some sort of huge menacing spider monster following them wherever they go!

She has crash landed on a primitive world and shortly found two odd mammalian tool users. Perhaps they hold the secret to She's survival. For now, She will observe...and maybe protect these two odd creatures as she seeks to understand their ways...

War Queen

★ 4.72

Illthylian

Strip away wants. Strip away desire, strip away dreams and hopes. When you peel it back, such things are luxuries only possible when you have first guaranteed your survival. Survival is everything, and in its pursuit, even the self may need to be stripped away for the survival of the species. Life, of her and her people, was nothing to the aliens if it was not useful. So she would be useful, she would be obedient, and she would survive. Under the control of the new rulers of her world and species, as a pawn in a conflict she could scarce comprehend, she would survive. And in this cosmic war of forces beyond her understanding, when all that is known is stripped away, survival is not just everything; it is all there is left.
