The world is shallow. People hardly find the time to enjoy their lives, swamped under the ever-increasing workload placed upon them by their corporate elders. The ones who can break free from the shackles of work find that in its current state, the world cannot grant a "Roamer" true freedom.... more>>

Roamers are people who have rejected the monotony of modern life and have been called to embark on a new stage of their journey in the world of Rahl. here, they are transported to a world at the height of pure fantasy, where they can fulfill their wildest dreams with enough hard work. Magic? Read the incantation from a spellbook and watch as you obtain the power to shoot balls of fire from your hands or command the earth to do your bidding. Swords? Venture to your nearest town and search for a blacksmith to forge you a weapon. In Rahl, anyone with determination will find themselves their true freedom.

This story follows Rune, a sixteen-year-old who, after deciding he had enough with life on Earth, becomes a Roamer in Rahl. He shall carve his path in a world of opportunity, and maybe, find his place in its caress. <<less

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.

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes.

Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

Chara, once a beloved child, adored by many… miserably dies! Except, rather than finding peace in the afterlife, she reincarnates as a spirit in a world known as La Vermeen.... more>>

There, she encounters a myriad of strange and interesting spirits, from mischievous wind spirits to calculating math spirits, including a domineering curiosity essence spirit, who offers to teach her—with no ulterior motives whatsoever.

Through her instruction, Chara gleans insights into the nature of mana and magic, enabling her to grasp the power of bond, the cornerstone for all advancement.

By the way, apparently, Curiosity is a very experienced teacher with many past students. So… why are they glaring at us from outside the building? <<less

I was always alone... Throughout my life, loneliness was my constant companion. People looked at me with disdain, for I was an orphan without parents. Growing up in isolation, I lost touch with how to interact with others. With each passing day, I grew more distant from my emotions until I scarcely recognized myself. The warmth of family and friendship felt foreign to me. In the end I became what I hated the most...... more>>

That was until I was reincarnated as Lucas Nightstar, granted a second chance at a happy life with a loving family. Now, I would do anything to protect them, live my life to the fullest, and was willing to destroy anyone who dares stand in my way of my newfound peace. Yet...

Little did I know what fate had in store for me.

Jadis has no idea how she died. One minute she's living her life as a young college student in Pennsylvania, the next she's hurtling through the unimaginable, incomprehensible void of the space between realities as a lost and detached soul. Luckily for her, the bored, and slightly deranged, god D finds her soul before it is mulched by the incomprehensible cosmos. After offering her a cookie to calm down from her existential nightmare, he explains that not only are gods and their respective afterlives real, but her disbelief in gods while living also means she doesn’t qualify to enter any god’s afterlife upon death. However, since D is in the mood for some mischief, he... more>> strikes a deal with her. Life in a fantasy world with RPG elements, along with a body built to match Jadis' slightly perverted wishes. Additionally, she gets a guaranteed spot in his afterlife. All that for the low price of spicing up the stagnant cyclical nature of a never-ending war between two stubborn gods and their respective followers on said magic-filled world. What disembodied soul could turn down an offer like that?

Except, once Jadis takes the deal, she finds that she has been transported to the middle of nowhere and the lazy jerk of a god forgot to check if any of his followers were around to greet Jadis. Now freshly reincarnated as a Nephilim, Jadis is all alone and all but naked in an abandoned dwarven village located firmly in demon infested territory. Not planning on dying again anytime soon, she is forced to take the only non-perverted class option given to her and unexpectedly receives a second body for it. How is Jadis going to explain that when she gets back to civilization? From there, the now pluralized Jadis tries to survive long enough to understand her new system and skills, looking forward to the day she finds civilization, hot baths, and hotter elves.

NOTE:
Everything in the novel is subject to change, this is a bare bones run that does have cringey points and unrefined pieces in story and grammar. I'm learning how to be an author and WILL go back and fix every chapter at some point. That'll probably be closer towards the end though which is quite far out, so please, if you decide to give it a read, keep that thought in mind. Also, feedback is appreciated 🙏 <<less

Sixty years have passed since the closing of the Subtennebrae brought a decisive end to the Matriarch Wars. Kono is one of the few drow that still wander the surface after The Great Purge eliminated most of her cruel race from the human kingdoms they sought to conquer. But, as generations pass, hatred is forgotten and necessity breeds cooperation. As a wielder of sword, spell, and guile, Kono travels the middle kingdoms selling her services as a ranger and mercenary; protecting the people she was ordered to oppress mere decades ago. ... more>>

Today was supposed to be a routine job, but a beautiful girl and a deadly old enemy may tempt Kono back to the old ways. Is it pragmatism that tempts her? Or perhaps that familiar drow seduction of lust and power will corrupt her new companion, as well as herself. <<less

Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. A life of war and pain left him with nothing and nobody, and with the fight for the world over and done with Zaren was ready to simply disappear. To leave behind the world that held nothing more for him, taking with him a powerful weapon he knew would cause untold suffering if it fell into the wrong hands. As far as he's concerned, the world was better off without him or the blade in it.... more>>

But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A deity from another realm threatens their world, and only a goddess whose domain is far too intimate for Zaren’s liking is convinced of its existence. She needs Zaren to prepare the world for a war nobody believes is coming before its too late. The only problem? Her deal involves resetting Zaren’s level back nearly to one.

Alone and with only a shadow of his former power, Zaren has to collect both levels and allies in the hopes he might stand a chance against the looming threat. But the world he’s trying to save isn’t quite the one he left behind. Something is affecting the world in ways he has to figure out before it gets him killed, and he isn't sure its only mortals behind those changes. Changes that seem to mesh oddly well with certain...benefits provided by the goddess who contracted him.

But if Zaren wants to have a chance at completing his impossible task, he’s going to have confront the scars of his past and unravel the darkness that lurks within him. A task that might have more to do with his mission than he previously thought. Luckily, those put on his path, seemingly by fate itself, seem more than willing to offer a helping hand. And, if he plays his cards right, quite a bit more.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-Dark themes, traumatic pasts mixed with lighter moments that will slowly head towards happier waters as Zaren fights against the world he finds himself in.
-Longer chapters, almost always over 5k words
-A competent MC with a tortured past doing his best to move forward
-Occasional other POVs from various characters, sometimes not immediately relating to the current characters (though they will always factor in eventually)
-Plenty of smut. Though it isn't the main focus of the story and doesn't start too strong, it will ramp up over time.
-LitRPG elements with less emphasis on number crunching and more on the end results so as to not bog the reader down with numbers and data
-A wide cast of characters, races, skills, classes, etc.
-A world that isn't openly smut-themed in nature, but there might be some secrets Zaren uncovers as he explores it...
-No NTR, incest, furry, or generally taboo kinks

-Current Update Schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but I will occasionally drop extra chapters if I have a lot stored up or if I feel like more than one chapter is necessary.
