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.

In the beginning, there was nothing. In the nothing, there was a beginning.
So it was written.

Vincent and Gwenevere are two people born in the world of Altha. A land of sword and magic. A place of wonder. Only, when they were children, that wonder was lost. Ripped from each other's lives, they were forced into the cruel reality of the world. Or rather, that of the Vossen Empire.... more>>

Gwenevere "Gwen" Vossen-Stone, Second Imperial Princess of the Vossen Empire could not be seen playing with Vincent Redwood, a common child born to a simple soldier. For two years, they played while his father guarded the Palace. Their relationship hidden until one unlucky day. The Imperial Princess of the Empire playing with a commoner? That couldn't happen.

Torn from each other, their lives diverged into different paths. Only reuniting 12 years later in what could only be described as fate. However, while Gwen never forgot her precious friend, Vincent was not what he was before. Gwen vowed to become stronger in order to never have anything taken from her again and to protect her friend once she reunited with him. That day was today.
-----

Come along for the story of the Princess, nicknamed "Prince" for her more masculine and tomboyish nature, and the Mage, often attributed to a doll for his more feminine and androgynous appearance making him quite pretty and beautiful. They are complete opposites in appearance, but their hearts are twinned together in fate. They just don't know it yet.

This, like Fae King's Desperation (another of my stories), is planned to not be as long as Cyber Heart or Love & Obsession, but we'll see how it goes. The romance between the two main characters doesn't happen in the first several chapters. It builds up as they discover that their feelings are more than just friendship. Once they realize it, the romance will go quicker.

There are power struggles and conflict between Gwen and the other Nobles and Royalty, but most are handled quickly due to Gwen's preparation in the last twelve years. If you're not a fan of conflicts being resolved relatively easily, then this story isn't for you. It will focus mainly on the slice of life aspects of the main characters and eventual romance, with a dash of rebellion on the side.

I hope you enjoy and thank you for coming along for the ride! <3 ^_^ I will update chapters as I am able, as I'm working on three stories simultaneously. This, Fae King's Desperation, and Regressor's Lover.

TRIGGER WARNING: There are talks and descriptions of abuse in this story. Bordering on the sexual. While the overall vibe I try and give this story is mostly fluff, tread carefully. This is a mature story.

SMUT INFO: This story will not be like my others. There will be love scenes in future chapters, but they will be more on the fluffy side rather than the hardcore descriptions I've given before. So, I'm unsure if this should be labeled as smut or not. For now, it's not, but once those chapters are released, if you want me to add the genre because you think it is considered smut, I will. <<less

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!

This story is a novelization of my webcomic of the same name, although there are extra details and scenes that are not present in the comic.

Update:
This novel was originally published as 62 chapters. Some of the shorter chapters have been consolidated to improve the pacing of the story and a separate glossary was added to replace the end-of-chapter glossaries. <<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.

WELCOME TO THE RETROFUTURE!... more>>

The Future That Never Was features an alternate space age where the Soviets colonized the belt before David Bowie sang Life on Mars; where rogue AIs took over the web; where pizza came in cans.

🪐  PACHINKO BLUES
Amid the chaos of the Rings Civil War, a disgraced pilot called Miles finds itself tangled in a vast vendetta involving a megacorporation, android mercenaries and data-cartels.
