Synopsis

Rico Kline is finding that the life of a summoned being isn’t an easy one.

At any moment he could be summoned to another world and ordered to participate in a battle, be experimented on by strange species, or even babysit a deadly monster.

His life on Earth isn’t any easier, as mysterious people and organizations try to track him down for their own nefarious purposes. Despite the dangers, Rico’s power continues to grow as the system rewards his efforts. He’s also not alone as new allies emerge and if he’s lucky, he just might find a place of refuge in the chaotic world he now lives in.

Book 2 in this unique spin on isekai LitRPG, about a MC turned into a summon minion who has to complete tasks for random summoners, allowing for a variety of adventures, foes, and missions as he progresses in power each time… But is any of it random?

Low-Fantasy Occultist Isekai

★ 4.56

Persimmon

Nicholas Crowley is used to scraping by in a world where magic is dying. The modern age has left the arcane behind, and the few remaining practitioners fight over scraps like starving dogs.

That, however, is no longer his problem. While performing a ritual, something interferes, and his soul is ripped from his body.

He awakens during the Class ceremony as Nick, a kid living on the frontier of the Green Ocean, a seemingly infinite expanse of trees brimming with rare ingredients and powerful creatures. Mana is abundant here, and the omnipresent System allows for feats he had once thought impossible.

And yet, not everything is as rosy as it seems. Legends walk the land, and Gods require their due. Will his experience as an Occultist be enough to navigate this wild new world?

A Sense for magic

★ 4.62

JNorm

Vance is a young man who has been blind since birth. He lives with his father and older brother. Over the years, he sought remedies for his affliction but had no luck.

This year, an Arcanist visits the small town of Wethermane. Vance is curious and intends to visit this powerful stranger, hoping for either help or hope. What he receives is something else, something greater - opportunity.

This book will follow his tale from afflicted young man to budding Arcanist, his struggles along the way, and hopefully a little humour.

License to Cultivate [Progression Fantasy Tower Climber] (FOUR books completed!)

★ 4.6

MTalon

Book 1-4 are complete! Book 5 releases T/Th/Sat

As a scribe without a sect to back him, Chang-li has little hope of advancement. Not until the day he makes a deal with a ghost and learns of a secret entrance into one of the Divine Emperor's cultivation towers. Now, as he deciphers the secrets of a long-dead sect and practices forbidden techniques, Chang-li has a path forward. That is, if he can forge the paperwork to give himself the right to even try...

Now, in book 2:

Faking a license to cultivate was enough to get Chang-li to his first advancement and impress the government officials in charge of cultivating, but he's also made some powerful enemies. As a scribe, without the resources of a sect behind him, it's going to be hard to reach his next advancement. He's learned of a secret trove of knowledge left behind by the long-dead Morning Mist sect. With some help from Min, granddaughter of the local mob boss, Chang-li's determined to retrieve the secrets and take on the arrogant Young Master who's nearly gotten him killed twice now. But when a screw-up threatens him and Min both, Chang-li will have to take decisive action. The consequences may be more than he can handle...

The action doesn't let up in Book 3 - as Chang-li faces a beauty pageant with teeth - or as he searches out ancient sect secrets in book 4.

Cultivation with a tower-climbing twist. Character-driven, full of action and intrigue, this is one climb you won't want to miss.

What to expect:

Weak-to-Strong

Unique, tightly-designed light-based magic system

One main point of view with several important secondaries

Series is planned to be 9 books long: while not a slow burn, themes and worldbuilding will be developed over the course of the series.

Action packed, character driven

Tower climbing with a twist

NO harem

Second Life as a Soldier

★ 4.62

Soldier_of_Avalon

He died a nobody.
Now he’s reborn in a body beaten and left for dead, no family, no food, no future.

In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn’t just respected, it’s survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war.

Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life.

But the army is no place for the weak. Training is brutal, resources are scarce, and every recruit is just one mistake away from the grave. Here, camaraderie is forged in hardship, tactics matter as much as raw strength, and survival demands more than swinging a sword, it demands learning, adapting, and enduring.

The road ahead is long and unforgiving. Yet with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater, growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.

Rise… or be forgotten.

What to expect:

~Slow-paced progression

~Non-OP

~Military focus

~Gritty, grounded tone

~No harem

~Detailed worldbuilding

~Coming-of-age journey

~Kingdom building (later in the story)

This novel is released exclusively on Royal Road. The release schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

How I Was Accidentally Summoned in a Cult as the Demon Princess

★ 4.57

North Drake

Lily Carter juggles lectures, 7-Eleven night shifts, and a secret life as Lilithia Nocturne, a top-ranked demon princess in the VRMMORPG Xantia. Then a robbery, a gunshot—and blackout. She wakes on cold stone in a glowing blood circle, wearing Lilithia’s regal armor and horns for real.

A bargain-bin cult calling itself the Children of the Abyss has summoned her—on purpose, by accident. They wanted a real demoness and not a nerdy girl cosplaying one. They’re incompetent, fanatical, and, inconveniently, the only people who don’t want to burn a demon on sight. Lily plans to humor them, learn the world, and bail. Instead, rumors snowball, idiots congregate, and an accidental empire starts forming in her name.

Will Lily lean into the crown and become the new Demon Queen, ghost the lot of them for a blissfully quiet life, or—against all odds—end up saving a world that keeps mistaking her for its doom?

Chimera

★ 4.6

Michael Dale

A chimera slowly regains memories of its past life as a human in a nonmagical world. While he is in part James Borland, temp office worker who was on the verge of being converted to permanent, he is also a savage beast who gains strength by consuming flesh of various creatures.

The more he remembers, the larger the effect his old persona has on his actions, which is often at odds with his instincts as a beast that seeks only to consume prey to become stronger.

Updates: Chimera will updatetwo to three times each week.

The Factory Must Grow – [Book 2: The Forge Must Glow]

★ 4.56

NorskDaedalus

Most of the professional isekai-ers known as Forerunners arrive on worlds in the midst of crisis. Be they invading armies, impending calamities, or unstoppable monsters, the Forerunner Program prepares and sends out teams of five to intervene in apocalypses across the cosmos, then to rally the full force of their saved worlds to create a portal home.

The Forerunners do not prepare to land in endless uninhabited wilderness with no gear and with broken Systems. But if Oliver, Alyssa, Henrietta, Clark, and Jacob ever want to get home, those are exactly the conditions they'll have to tend with. And when faced with a problem that requires the manpower of an entire civilization and only five people to work it, only one option presents itself:

The Factory Must Grow.

The Sovereign’s Toll [A LitRPG/Isekai Adventure]

★ 4.58

AuthorJS

His family was his world. Now he’s in a new one.

When a fatal accident rips Caleb Foster from his wife and kids, the forty-year-old gets a second chance in a realm of dungeons and monsters. A cosmic system offers him a choice of legendary powers, but Caleb refuses the flashy magic. He chooses the abilities to learn faster, remember perfectly, and master any physical skill.

A father's instinct to protect doesn't die with his family. To survive and shield the new lives that depend on him, he must use a lifetime of quiet competence to navigate a dangerous frontier town, hunt deadly beasts, and outwit men who mistake his lack of flash for weakness.

In a place where might makes right, Caleb is about to show that the most lethal weapon is a mind that misses nothing, and a will that never quits.
