Troll in the Dungeon! (Harry Potter/OC-Insert)
A man fills out a CYOA to become a seer. He ends up as Blaise Zabini, the *other* blank slate Slytherin. Definitely not a serious story, mostly written to murder some of my plot bunnies.

[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...
The more lives you've lived, the more mana you have, and Cale has lived too many lives to count.
At this point, his core is closer to the magical equivalent of a nuclear reactor. The downside to this is that conventional spells have become impossibly difficult to cast: Cale simply has too much mana. His spells collapse under the weight of his magic.
Then he finds himself summoned to a new world. One with a spellwork system capable of adjusting to his ridiculous reserves, creating new spells just for him.
Of course, things are never that simple. New magic means new things to learn, and if he wants to make spells worth having, that means going to a magic academy. On top of that, an old dragon has taken an interest in him, the kingdom's hunters seem alarmingly intent on attacking his classmates, and Cale's pretty sure at least one ancient evil has followed him from a past life.
But who knows? With magic back on the table, he might finally be able to perform what he sees as the true pinnacle of spellwork: baking.

Book 1 Stubbed November 19th
Synopsis:
Sometimes the multiverse needs expanding. That's where I come in. Unfortunately being a deity isn't all fun and games, as there are always things working against you. Not even the Overgod of the Multiverse can change that.
Longer Summary:
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, and were given a grace period in which they could expand their domains in relative safety. Once that period is up, however, the created universes will be able to interact with each other and other universes...as well as be at the mercy of the Void. I am one of those souls, and it's not easy. Between trying to raise up gods to defend my realm with, guiding mortals, accidentally making a xianxia world, and dealing with my own children, I have my work cut out for me. Now I know why back on Earth gods worked in mysterious, invisible ways. There's just too much to be done.
What to expect: Worldbuilding in the most literal sense, lots of POV's, Xianxia elements, and more. The LitRPG elements are very light, be warned if you're coming in for that.
This is a rewrite of an old story. It's been about six years since I dropped the previous, and having grown as an author and person, I decided to revisit the concept. The old one will be left up, for anyone who wants to revisit it or look at it from a legacy standpoint.
Updates will be twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.

STUBBED - THIS STORY IS COMPLETE AND HAS MOVED TO AMAZON + AUDIBLE!
[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]
The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.
However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.
Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.
[Dungeon-Core] [litRPG] [Base-building]
Reborn into a world shaped by ashen storms, brutal blizzards, and sword-wielding sorcerers, Arilyn must forge his own path.
Magic is abundant, spread far and wide by the realm-spanning Grand Spell. Even in the frail body of a newborn, Arilyn is rewarded with attributes, points, and power simply for stubborn hard work.
Yet not everything is as bright as it seems. Legends walk the land, and the Blight Lords are hell-bent on resurrecting the Old God.
None of this should have mattered to him, living on the fringe of the empire—until strange rumblings rise from the heart of the Candor Mountains.
What to Expect:
• [Reincarnation, but the MC does not retain any memory of his past in the beginning.]
• [Slice of Life, Crafting, Spellcrafting, Training, Slow burn, Weak to Strong, and silly things]
• [LitRPG elements, Detailed Magic system, Greek/Roman Empire-esque settings]
• [Magic Academy, Eventually]
• [Beast Companion?]
• [No harem]
Follow Nero’s journey through a world filled with every fantasy imaginable, while being stuck in a city filled with only humans. Watch as he struggles to understand how magic works, and what reality looks like when it’s based on fantasy instead of physics.
He’ll have to face a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation. Suffer the horror of competent administration. Persevere through the indignity of living in a world where people’s opinions are based on rational arguments.
Although Nero’s past life hadn’t prepared him for the challenges he’ll face, he won’t face them alone. He will find allies to assist him, mentors to guide him, even a few fans. There will be villains and threats, heroes and training. But mostly, it will be Nero trying to ignore what’s going on around him while focusing on learning magic.
The world is big, and there are characters aplenty. As time goes on, the story will grow. The leveling system may seem simple at first, but it's soon revealed to be so complex that our hero will do everything he can to ignore it, regardless of the consequences.
If you enjoy watching an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold be forced to grow up by circumstance and the influence of those around him, then this story will be worth your time. Just don't get your hopes up, our main character isn't ready for that kind of responsibility.
*Posting on Mondays at 5:30pm CT
Expect:
- Snarky banter bordering on rude
- A fantasy world built on a framework of satirical realism
- A unique progression system
- A slow, easy-going pace
Don't Expect:
- Overly complex emo characters
- Murderhobos
- Cliche villains and heroes
- To read the whole book without chuckling

And this time, he plans to get strong enough to make sure that he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial, and he is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well. Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.
There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.
Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?
Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG adventure set in an epic fantasy world that is rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered. There are strong horror themes, graphic violence, overindulgent use of naughty language, and poorly constructed jokes. Mage Tank features slow progression and intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.
