A life full of regrets.. but no sight of the fallen heart of a man.... more>>

Where did everything go wrong? What happened?! What did this... who did this...
What did I do?

A 23 year old in the life of a walking dead (or a neet), disinterested in modern life and oblivious to the wonders of humanity. Finds a Path.

"The internationally renown game company Crestfallen Industry has finally revealed the release date of Rising Essence!!"
"O-o-ooh?! What is this?! CEO of Crestfallen Industry, aka K. Crestfallen, has just revealed the release date for RE?! Just 3 weeks! In 3 weeks the 1,500 years of technology and planning has now come to being! We, the citizens of the New Earth in the 20th century will be the first to witness it!"
"K. Crestfallen has revealed the date for Rising Essence this morning in his account at 9:37 am, did he thought he was slee..."
"The most advanced technology will see light in 3 weeks at..."
...
'Huh?'
Eyes opened wide, disbelief crossing his entire being, the man with a regretful life made a call from the ultimate generation phone he never uses and traditionally throws away after a few days.
Heavy but slow breathing sounded and the tone of the phone marking, then picked up. "M..."
"..."
"..."
"...Yes?"
Taking an inaudible deep breath, he continues. "M-Mom, I'd like to get something..."

Something he had not the need nor will to ask for in more than a decade was once again heard from his mouth.

However, things start going wrong when everyone within the group starts having accidents until the MC is the last one left.
As our MC finally joins his friends in another world, how will their story goes. How many more trials do they have to face.

Will it be as lovey-dovey and diabetes-inducing?
Will it be a slice of life?
Will it be filled with hardships and tough choices?
Or will it be a total depression that haunts our protags through the story?

Only our MC will be able to know as he goes into that another world and faces the surprises.

This story will contain a lot of violence as killing and fighting. Cannibalism is also depicted in this story along with torture. If this type of story is uncomfortable with you, I think it would be best that you leave this story alone as it will be quite heavy with it. Gory bits such as internals coming out will not be shown in this story but in a spin-off story. The same can also be said towards sexual stuff though some indications would be hinted here.

This is also my first time attempting to write a novel so the method of writing and language might trigger someone. Since I am from Malaysia I might sometimes unconsciously include some Malaysian slang such as lah leh and the such inside.

WARNING:
This story features a protagonist with unconventional views and morals. In a world where only strength rules, concepts of good and evil become blurred as they fade to inutility. If you are looking for a goody-two-shoes, upholder of justice, and who goes around unconditionally saving any and all people in distress, this story is most likely not your cup of tea.

It can also get pretty dark and sensual at times, you have been warned.

Takemura Itsuki, an all-time bedroom gamer, and Shiratori Haruto, a noob game fanatic, were just playing an RPG game they found lying alone on the dark streets after their end-year exams.

Your average Reborn Game System story, similar to The Gamer and Solo Leveling. Written for fun rather than novilization like the others, so it is smaller and less intense. It is set in an AU Warhammer (based on a slightly modified version of Warhammer Fantasy's End Times. (Modified because the real setting was a catastrophe. There will be no exploding moons or beating the God Of Indulgence because they overindulged, and no Slaans fucking off to space. People shall use their brains and not just "lol cuz I can" bs like Todbringer thinking the end of the fucking world was the best time to go persue you interracial Yaoi rivalry with a Beastlord). So you... more>> might notice names and events but don't expect it all to go the same way. And the Main Character is not the only Player in this game~

Reborn into a fantastical RPG-system based world, Fresh is offered a second chance at life. Initially glad to have escaped her old life, she quickly realizes that this new one might not be much better. Her new body is too frail to follow any grand dreams of adventure, her new mind is too dulled to allow any meticulous planning and this new, seemingly colorful, kind world is anything but.

Needing a way to survive in this horrible place, Fresh bands together with some unusual people and they take on an entirely new challenge; running an item shop just outside of the dungeon!

[This is a reimagining of the story The Tutorial is Too Hard by Gandara.]... more>>

On New Year's Eve, Lee Ho-Jae decides that he wants to die. The universe seems to hear him for the first time in his entire life, and just as the clock hits 00:00, a message pops up inviting him to the Tutorial. Lee Ho-Jae accepts. But at the prompt to choose the difficulty level, is there anything the former pro gamer can do but pick the very hardest--appropriately titled Hell?

And so begins Ho-Jae's true descent into Hell in every conceivable form, thrusting him into a world where pain is the currency needed to gain power, and the only ally he has is his own flesh and blood. It doesn't take much for the human mind to crack and crumble, but to build it up again is even harder. In the spiral of white madness that Ho-Jae finds himself tumbling into, will a hand reach towards him and pull him out, or will he just drag them down with them?

3 releases a week, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 EST, or 02:00 the following day CET.

This story is loosely based on the concept and story by Gandara, but is apart from the setting and name of the main character different on almost every conceivable level. You do not need to read the original story to read this, and doing so will change very little of your experience with the story. It is almost recommended not to read the original if you enjoyed this one since the original has a vastly more lighthearted tone in comparison.

Thank you, and I hope you'll enjoy the story! <<less

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.

The penal labor colony called Solstice lies nearly 500 light years from Earth. For decades, the planet was used by the fascist Terran Accord as a dumping ground for prisoners, political and otherwise — that is, until the prisoners organized and won a hard-fought revolution against their corporate overlords and took the planet for themselves. The Accord, on the back foot in their war against the Affini, struck back from orbit, and fired a single shot that almost rendered the planet uninhabitable. For an aging revolutionary at the heart of it all, the arrival of the Affini means salvation for her people, but it also marks the beginning of a new fight for liberation. ... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> This story is set in the Human Domestication Guide collaborative universe.
