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?

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.

New Life As A Max Level Archmage

★ 4.78

ArcaneCadence

Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life.

But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old faces and new in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose.

Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.

Otherworldly – A Shadowed Awakening

Volume 1: A Shadowed Awakening

Eunora Dawn is just a child. She was born a noble in the kingdom of Maeve, with 5 siblings and a shy personality. At a glance, her life was meant to be rosy.

But, when Eunora unlocks the [System] on her 8th birthday, she gains more than she expected. Memories of her past life as a strong-willed and fulfilled woman flood her mind and all but overwrite her personality. Filled with existential dread and grief over losing her past loved ones, Eunora goes from an innocent child filled with hope for her family to someone who is just trying to keep herself afloat in a strange world that almost seems too awful to be true.

With her sudden change in personality, as two individuals become one within Eunora, she has to find something she cares about. Anything. As long as it gets her out of bed.

Eunora loved her life in the Before -and she’s not looking forward to growing up again. All Maeve has shown her is neglect and longing, and after living a life of privilege, she’ll need to adjust.

PSA: This isekai/transmigration fantasy is SLOW paced and character driven! Things pick up as we go, but the plot is filled with meandering.

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons

★ 4.5

Selkie

Winner of the 2021 Stabby Award!

Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic.

An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?

Adventures? Right this way!

A Grand quest? Nah.

Friends and loot? Heck yes!

Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food.

Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.

Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move.

Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws.

The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there!

I’m going to be posting M-W-F

I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue.

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

★ 4.7

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest.

Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion.

Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn’t ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn’t matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage; Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn’t starting now.

He was already a god; now, he’ll have to become the god.

Art cover by Dinovoila and SelkieMyth.

Updates twice a week (2500/3000 words chapters) on Tuesday and Saturday. Contains deckbuilding LitRPG elements and a tactical-oriented System, a god who knows what he's doing (sometimes), base-building, and a colorful cast of mortal champions.

Superheroes and Magic Invasions [apocalypse litRPG]

★ 4.6

Belial666

[completed the October 2022 and April 2023 Writathon ]

In the town of Destiny, Florida (not to be confused with Destin, also in Florida), magic portals open and spew out undead horrors. A few lucky survivors discover that killing the invaders grants magic powers seemingly following popular game or comic book tropes. For Maya Wennefer that's only the beginning of her problems.

Invaders from another world, normal people realizing there are easier paths to power, the government's reaction to the new reality; surviving all that is hard, let alone becoming a superhero. As chaos spreads and stronger monsters appear, human greed may yet prove to be more dangerous than any invader.

What to expect:
Man-eating monsters, unsupervised young adults, mistakes being made, exploration of superpowers, violence, superheroics, cheaty power combos, arrogance, struggle.

System Lost: My Own Best Friend

★ 4.75

DarkTechnomancer

Sometimes the only one who can save you—is you.

Allison is a normal girl who enjoys spending time with her friends, going out to parties and clubs, and just generally enjoying college life. So when she wakes up in a strange underground complex full of candles, weird creatures, and no memory of how she ended up there, it's safe to say she's a little out of her element. She has no survival skills, no ability to fight, and absolutely no hecking clue what all these weird words and numbers floating around in her head are supposed to mean! It seems like a hopeless situation until, in her desperation, she finds an unlikely ally in...herself?! Another her with different knowledge, skills, and personality. Together, they might have a chance of making it out alive, but there's a catch—they still share the same body.

What to expect:

Yeah, I'm not doing that. System Lost is my second series, and my first new project after four years of writing my previous story, Fates Parallel. I've learned a lot from that experience, and I'm excited to put those lessons to work in this new story. If you're familiar with my previous work, then you can expect a familiar focus on characterization and personal growth, with a newly refined style and brand new themes and setting. If not, then just know that I've spent the last four years consistently writing one story until it was finished, with only a handful of pauses each less than a month long. I am committed to seeing my projects through to the end, and I offer proof rather than promises that this story will not be abandoned.

Additionally, I plan to keep System Lost freely available for as long as possible, or even indefinitely if I can afford to do so. I'm not going to make a promise I might have to break, but it is my sincere hope that I will not ever have to move this story to Kindle Unlimited.

System Lost updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5 PM EST.

Cover arts by Fuyudust and Sagior. Character designs by Tsuu and Mjeow. Chibi characters by Alice (of TsurotArtistry).
