Synopsis

Leon and his father, Artorias, are the last remaining scions of a once powerful and illustrious family of lightning mages. After barely surviving an attack that destroyed their home fifteen years ago, they now live in the dangerous Northern Vales, a desolate wilderness far away from civilization. But those who want them dead are strong, patient, and relentless, and it is only a matter of time before they find the two they seek…

Posted first on my website, wardenreading.com, which will be 4 chapters ahead of anywhere else I post — March 2020: Decided to stop doing that, Royal Road is caught up completely to all currently released free chapters, though my website is still there (and has maps!) — Expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday around 10 am CT

I have taken the WriTE Pledge, meaning that I will see this story to completion, no matter how many eons it may take.

STUBBED - THIS STORY IS MOVING TO AMAZON

"Hello. I am a sunflower.

Are you a sunflower too?

Well, it does not really matter. Today is a calm day. The wind is warm. I do not know why I am alive, but do you want to look at the sun together with me?

- I am a sunflower."

- Sunflower: The litRPG -

Constantly on the run as a fearful refugee from a brutal hobgoblin war, Burch finds an odd, self-aware sunflower during her escape.

In a frantic bid for survival, the two of them journey together across a dark, frightening and magic filled world in their desperate pursuit of what might be the only place of safety and warmth left anywhere, a place heard of only in whispers; Paradise.

However, frightful danger lurks in every shadowy corner and time is against them, as the hobgoblin horde on their trail, feverishly hunting after Burch, comes closer and closer by the day. Why is Burch on the run and why are the hobgoblins in pursuit of her? Who or what is ‘the sunflower’? And most importantly — assuming that Paradise is real, will they even survive the journey there?

Find out in D.M. Rhodes’ latest trending fantasy novel, Sunflower!

I Became a Mother in Another World

Urmie

“9… 8…. 7… 6…. 5…. 4…. 3…. 2… 1!”

She stepped forward. Throwing a “SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS!” in the loudest voice she could manage towards the pilot, she ran towards the edge and jumped, unaware of what a big, fat lie those words would turn out to be.

— — —

Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, was a Special Agent of the Third Eye Agency, an intelligence agency that operates worldwide to ensure peace and order, no matter the means. On a mission, she finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world.

First order of things. Steal some appropriate clothes.

Second order of things. Find out where you are.

Third order of things. Try to find …. Wait, is that a half-dead child in the alleyway? What the heck?

The boy looks on the verge of death. She cannot bring herself to leave the child alone. It’s fine. She will still find a way back. She will still go back home. She will just take the little bun with her.

Or so she thought until the little bun caught the eyes of some very important people.

Turns out, the little bun is a Prince. And his father wants him at the Palace. But hell would freeze over before Samaya let anyone take her child from her.

This is the story of a woman who is just trying to protect her found family while looking for a way home and ends up being entangled in a big web of politics, harem intrigue, assassination plots, and one infuriating man who is at the center of it all.

Hope

★ 4.69

sarvashaktimaan

The Aspects are long dead. The venerated creators of reality are no more.

Yet the final scheme of their slayer, of the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they have ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer and closer throughout the eons. Inevitably, unstoppably.

The last Hope is a desperate gamble: For one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

I am not stubbing this story until it's at least complete (if ever).

Expect:
High fantasy.
Weak to strong quick.
Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.
MC that is an actual character not a plot device.
My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.
My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.
Story that matters (or does it?)
No, I can't rewrite the prologue even though I lose a good half of prospective readers on it.

Good writing and decent grammar. Reviewers seem to like it, you might too.

Upload schedule: Updates every Saturday. 3000+ words per chapter.

Meant to be read in RR dark mode.

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.

Route to Power

★ 4.68

CSStephen

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children. Simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world. A place with culture, economics, and politics—inhabited by people that have their own passions, goals, and prejudices.

What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself here—a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility, but not all of those possibilities are good.

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation

★ 4.52

TheDreamForger

My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid.

Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do.

But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting.

“What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that.

Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too.

Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death.

But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me.

I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars!

All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary.

With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on.

It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush?

I have all the time in the world now.

Will he be the hero to save them all or the monster that consumes them? Only time will tell.

Lone: The Wanderer

★ 4.51

Lone

A story about a history teacher gaming-addict with familial trauma, and a peculiar woman seemingly stuck out of time and beyond out of touch.

The two have been thrust into the weird and whimsical world of Altros, a planet with divides born of very real superhuman strength courtesy of an odd ranking system, and, naturally, species differences.

Not exactly the best of news for our resident Scottish history teacher whose ears have changed into fox ones alongside his nine new fluffy tails.

First though, Darren, or Lone, or whatever else the weird system claims he's called, has to figure out how to live with his new companion Sofia, for seemingly forever while also just barely managing to survive being stranded on a monster-infested island with a self-proclaimed former-immortal who can see despite being blind, can freely teleport, and who also, of course, seems prone to experiencing bouts of extreme depression.

Not an ideal situation when he himself hasn't been in a great headspace for over a decade now. But hey, at least there's an incredibly expansive litRPG system to keep the both of them entertained, right? That'll fight off the fear of death, surely.

[Goal of 1 chapter per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies.]
