In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

It was an average day in Miami—then fractures in the sky appeared. A pulse from those cracks altered the population; some people's biology changed while others received magical and supernatural powers. After the chaos, the political drama ensued, followed by the discovery of portals that brought deadly creatures. They called this event "The Oscillation" and it changed Rachel's life forever.... more>>

Note: I've received some feedback that people don't like the foul language. This also included my mother, she wanted me to make a cleaner version for her. So, I thought I might as well release it alongside the more explicit version. I went back and rewrote the parts that have profanity in them. ^_^7

Ezekiel recognized early in life that he didn't want to follow in his parent's footsteps and spend the rest of his days as a mere farmer. No, his eyes are set on a grander stage, a place where tales of monster hunters, mighty generals, and benevolent heroes hold court — A world of Magic and mysteries.... more>>

A generation after the last Great War, the world prospers while leaving the BloodStar Empire sequestered and alone. However, things begin to change as the next BloodStar heir aims to make new allies in a world more willing to forgive her empire’s tragic past of violence. The beautiful and young Xenia BloodStar is a world-class beauty, a calculating politician, and an immensely powerful ki user. In an established world ruled by Master Families, will the Princess BloodStar use her beauty and power to elevate her empire on the world stage? Or will she follow in her mother’s footsteps of violence and war?... more>>

Release Schedule: At least one new chapter every Sunday at 9 AM CST. Thanks for reading :)

For those interested, there is an uncensored version (about 10% longer) with more sex and more violence on the Patreon (all posts are free and public). But be warned, if you know Xenia, then you may not be surprised to know she likes to mix her sex and violence together. If that's not your thing, then I'd stick to the story here on Scribble Hub which has 100% of the actual story and still has sex but is often abbreviated or less violent. Thank you all!

Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside.  After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whole world is flipped on its head when the heavens crack like stained glass, and 1/150th of the world's population is transformed into creatures and granted an unusual Leveling System.  A large subsection of the world population is turned into beasts, fae, or aberrant people, while others are granted powers from historical and mythological figures, such as King Arthur, Saint Charlemagne, or the dreaded Leviathan.  Wait, now there are alien toads... more>> popping out of Crystal Gateways?

Having to put petty problems to the side, Rachel has to figure out what is happening as the whole world tries to do the same, but she has a few secret weapons, two of which are on the top of her head; she uses her newly acquired hearing to scope out the changes people are experiencing and gathers the wealth of information at her college campus to plot a way forward as martial law is instituted.  If aliens and spontaneously becoming a moon bunny hare wasn't enough, popular gods seem to have something to do with the new System in this urban fantasy adventure.  Blessed by the mysterious goddess Ceridwen, our MC will have to combat the divine manipulations with her most potent weapon: misfortune.  Being an unlucky hare, rather than a lucky bun, what will Rachel's lousy fortune bring both her and her enemies because even the gods fear our Mythickin Lunar Bun Hare!

Releases every Sunday, near midnight MST.  ^_^7

The world of Gods is calling.... more>>

The land of Maladoneae was built on the back of Faith. Only through worship and putting your life on the line for the Gods could you hold power in your hands, earn Blessings and Level up.

But things weren't so simple for everyone.

Leonidas had no Faith in the Gods.

Sitting on his knees, being forced to dig up and move his own mother's grave, unable to afford the land, his hearts burned with a fiery hatred for the world.

He just needed one chance, just one lucky opportunity in this wholly unlucky life of his, just a single fleeting strand of hope...

Unfortunately, such lucky opportunities didn't come without a price.

To be a Fallen Apostle in the Era of Gods was to be an enemy of the world.

=========

What to expect?

> Chapter everyday
>The Fallen Apostle world is one where Apostles are the servants of Gods. They complete missions to earn Blessings and Blessings allow them to Level up. There are no stats, so it's more gamelit than litrpg
>There will be small harem. I've already written almost 500k words of this story and to this point, there are only two loves interests, so, obviously, not every mentioned woman just throws themselves at the mc, nor does he chase them all. They are fleshed out, and three-dimensional, though I am, of course, biased.
>This novel will touch upon some dark themes, though not gratuitously
>Expect an intelligent, though sometimes immature mc. He does start the story in his very late teens, so I believe this is age appropriate. <<less

When Ellie Tangey went out for a night on the town with her best and only friend , she was expecting to be bored, maybe uncomfortable at worst. Her only real concern was protecting her friend.

A story exploring psychological traumas from many different angles and across multiple characters and personalities. All set to the background of a world where magic is common, humans are not, and creatures of the night are on the hunt.

Fae of Yore, Cybernetics and Corporate States, and now Vampires and Werewolves. ... more>>

Miles Lykaon was born the heir to the multi-million Fae gold Lykaon Enterprises, a prince to a metaphorical kingdom. But when tragedy struck, and his parents disappeared, he was the left alone to fend off the vultures. A tall order for a young child.

Years later and branded 'incompetent' by a ruthless trade agreement signed under the reality-altering World Court, everything seemed dire and hopeless.

All he had left was grit, wealth, and a magical martial artist butler on his side.

That is, until they appeared. Two monstrous Fae – a Vampire and a Werewolf – altering his destiny forever, in just two bites.

Now, a Vaewolf amidst Fae, Fae-humans and Corporate Overlords, Miles is about to discover worlds he hadn't even known existed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: The story may start off a bit slow, focusing more on establishing the lore and the world at first, rather than the LitRPG itself.

Initially inspired by a glitch in Skyrim, later expanded by mythology, fairy tales, Fae of legend, and of course, the Worlds of Darkness, and Cyberpunk.

I hope you enjoy what you find here. :) <<less

"Can I eat that?"... more>>

A hungry thought, the first taste of curiosity, the birth of a demon.

Lavinia, a freshly spawned Vampiric Demon, plunges into a world that's a feast for the mighty with the singular thought of consumption. As a Vampiric she already stands taller than most and her path to power is splayed out before her, all she need do is reach out and eat.

An ill-fated encounter with a Soul Reaver and human, Henry Vanavil sets Lavinia on a quest to free herself of the curse mark he promises will bring her to kneel.

Newborn and ignorant to so much, will Lavinia's Vampiric potential be enough to secure her immortal soul against human influences? Or will she need to sacrifice a precious few meals for allies, knowledge and the tools to find and end Henry before he returns.

Expect;

- Dungeons, apocalypse, and other hellish settings

- A simple LitRPG system that enhances the story without overwhelming you with number crunching.

- A bit of murderhobo-ing

- Dumb to smort/ Weak to over-powered

- Number of questionable moments <<less

"Know thy self, know thy enemy"
- Sun Tzu... more>>

Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

But Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them all.

________________________________________________________________________________

Small-large scale battles ranging from shady underground caverns to open-field skirmishes.

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

Release Schedule: Mondays to Fridays. I'm still experimenting on time. Next week will be 7 PM UTC+8.

- Clever schemes, fast-paced action, and in-depth character development.

- Elaborate world-building elements with a sprawling world thoroughly mapped out.
