The story has been taken down for publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested, you can read them here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Blood-Demons-Retirement/dp/B0BXYJB2MJ/... more>>

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

Princess Anastasia, the beloved only child of King and Queen Cetheri, suddenly fell gravely ill on her fourteenth birthday. Despite the best efforts of the royal physician, she remained unconscious and bedridden.... more>>

"The King is offering 10,000 gold doubloons for anyone who can cure the Princess, you say?"

Hearing such incredible news, a lowly conman figured he had nothing to lose anyways, so he signed himself up while crossdressing as a Saintess to bless Her Highness with good health. But who could have thought that the princess would actually wake up from her coma while the fake Saintess was 'treating' her?

Now hailed as the Holy Saintess who performed God's miracle, she is ordered to stay in the palace until Anastasia has fully recovered from her malaise! Yet, it seems like the princess has lost her memory and is unable to return to her old self? And this has something to do with a 'transmigration from Earth'?

The showdown between the transmigrated princess who won't be cured and the crossdressing fake Saintess who is desperate to get away with the King's reward begins!

You know the setup: A young man on Earth hit by a speeding truck who ends up in a generic fantasy world.

But what about this: A young man in a generic LitRPG fantasy world hit by a carriage who ends up in modern-day San Francisco, and yet still wants to be a hero anyway? That's how Systemless starts, and boy does it never let up.

----------------------------------------

The system can be accepted by anyone who decides to Class Up using the world’s various Sorting Scepters. From then on, leveling up will be possible, but it could come at the cost of one's life. All actions one takes, from combat to breathing, take from their pool of LP (Life Points). Run out, and so too will they perish. The only way to replenish one's LP is to level up and learn new skills.

Eryk Solbourne chooses the [Adventurer] class, destined to explore great worlds, fight magnificent beasts, and inspire others. Now he is a D-Rank hero, but he will forge a powerful destiny for himself... and he will do so in a new world, after The Goddess reincarnates him in a brand-new Earth that is in desperate need of his abilities.

Join Eryk Solbourne and his two Earthen friends Francis and Delta as they adventure across the United States and try to achieve the impossible: becoming the ultimate hero in a world where levels don't even exist.

A silly story I wrote on a whim. Be ready for a lot of silly clichés and tropes because I'm a dork at the best of times <<less

So I met this girl. Turns out she’s not from here… here being Earth. But she is so very pretty and the way she looks at me makes me feel all kinds of ways. How Am I going to tell people about this!?... more>>

======
Very queer/poly, very fluffy, very not cisgender story about falling in love and talking about feelings. Heavily influenced by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Her Xenogenisis series mostly, where aliens came to earth to make human hybrid babies because they wanted cancer, only without all the weird consent issues she loves.

This will be mostly me working my way through interesting ideas without much of anything in the way of story arcs or core conflicts other than what feels interesting within the fiction at the time. When doing tabletop RPG stuff I'm a very 'fly by the seat of your pants' GM so this is that blasted into writing.

Content warnings:
*death of a parent
*cancer
*mention of transphobic parents
*mention of "chasers" and trans fetishizing
*panic attacks
*autistic meltdown and sensory issues/overload
*discussion and practice of self governed mind alteration
*alcohol consumption
*Discussions of STDs and safe sex practices
I'll add more here as I see them or am notified I missed something. Any chapter bigger stuff comes up will also have notes at the beginning.

*I use "gender bender" loosely, less as in genre tropes of forced or accidental transformation. More in that there will be gender fuckery, but it will be done under conscious control of the character for their own ends (mostly comfort in fluid identity or messing with cis people).
*"Genderless Protagonist" should be nonbinary, but that's not an option😜

This is my first real attempt at creative writing so it’s rough but it feels nice to put out there. Please feel free to toss constructive criticism my way as you think of things.

Idly doodling a perfect pentagram and summoning a Demon should have been the strangest thing to happen to me that day.... more>>

Leading a team of monster-fighting teenagers isn't easy. Joanne knows this. After leading her team into an awful situation she is saved by a mysterious Gold ranger. Now she just has to figure out if he's trustworthy, and why he refuses to show his face.

This is a rewrite of the original. It's a parody of your normal Super Sentai/Power Rangers formula, with monsters of the week, stereotypical characters and some action thrown into the mix. It's also you know the gay cause of who I am. <<less

Noel was sleeping peacefully in his room when he was suddenly transferred away from his bed to a cold hard floor.... more>>

Frederic, "…"

A…mummy?

"Hello. I am a sunflower.... more>>

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?

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

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?
