The protagonist of the story is a young girl who feels disappointed and unloved by her mother. She believes that her mother expected her to be a perfect daughter, but she never felt like she could live up to those expectations. She longs for love and acceptance but feels like a failure. One day, she decides to escape from her strict home and goes for a walk. However, she is tragically hit by a car, and as she lies dying, she reflects on her life and accepts her fate. But was the act of the driver really their fault?... more>>

Note: This is a story done in first-person point of view, designed to be a continuous, flowing narrative. The story is presented in parts rather than traditional chapters, each part seamlessly connecting to the next, creating a sense of progression and development in the protagonist's life. But I'm just an amateur writer, so I know that there may be some rough spots or inconsistencies in the narrative. There's also some time skips. <<less

For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in.... more>>

The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless.

Yet fate had a different path in store for her.

For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being.

Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death.

She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath.

What will fate deal her next?

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

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

Expect:

-Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages

-World building

-Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures

-Occasional action

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance

-Politics, barring passing views and mentions

-A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one

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

And thank you for reading.

Within a desolate realm, where discarded worlds were stitched together, a rupture tore open, releasing a small child into this fragmented expanse.... more>>

Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake.

Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. To the child's bewilderment, a haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

Fear and confusion grip the child's heart as he began to grapple with the enigma of his own existence. Who was he, and what dire fate led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure drew closer, exacerbating the boy's terror.

Unbeknownst to him, his journey would unveil a profound transformation—an ascent to become the embodiment of fear itself, or perhaps... a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.

This is the 2nd draft of Firesong Ballad: Ember (name has changed)... more>>

Mina is on a mission of revenge. She has sworn her life to kill all those who have wronged her. People born with the ability to control an element are rare, and as one of the few she may actually be able to pull it off.

As powerful as she is, she begrudgingly admits that it's not a quest she can take on alone. She enlists the help of a cranky swordsman and an ever-dutiful knight.

Her plans are thrown into disarray when a powerful foe reveals themselves. It's hard to turn down the amount of money offered to defeat them, even with the possibility of death around every corner.

She is soon joined by a curious raccoon man that has a penchant for taking things that don't belong to him, and an elf that has spent his entire life in a gilded cage.

Mina will have to learn to navigate these four personalities while desperately trying to return to her quest. She doesn't have time for silly things like emotions.

What to expect:
Ember is a fantasy adventure with a reverse harem subplot. It is a journey of self-discovery, intrigue, growth, with some comedy thrown in the mix. Join Mina as she travels between countries to bring down one of the biggest threats the world has seen for centuries.

Having the power of a god isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. On top of handling a god’s many responsibilities, Alouin has to contend with the fact that reality is quickly coming to an end. Isn’t that just wonderful?... more>>

The Eternal War:

Raimie has been living a nice, boring existence in a safe corner of the woods until he comes across a random sword in the forest, and after that, everything changes. On the run from a powerful magic wielder, he’s forced to accept that he’s the last heir to a royal line, foretold to cast down the ancient evil suppressing his family’s native land. The invisible beings trailing his every step, along with the suspiciously magical anomalies they prompt in him, aren’t helping with that goal. Oh, and if that weren’t enough, the nightmares he’s had all his life have twisted into something weird and yet surprisingly familiar.

Thank the gods for family and the new friend he’s made along the way. Maybe things will turn out ok, if he could get a moment to think.

Oh, nope. There’s another threat coming to wreck his life. Time to run again.

This story was initially released on Royal Road.

It will start out very stereotypically for the first few chapters (for epic fantasy at least). If you can tolerate a couple of seeming tropes (i.e. the Chosen One etc.) for 5 or so chapters, I promise that The Eternal War will diverge into much more interesting storylines. I like writing slow burns, taking my time to establish characters etc., before getting into the exciting bits of a story. I also thoroughly enjoy trying to subvert tropes, although how successful I am with that is up to the individual reader, of course.

I will update the book every day until volume one is complete, and after that, I'll switch to a Wednesday/Saturday release schedule. <<less

Hi, it's MrLollip0p/Inevitable here, thanks for reading the synopsis. Been in the writing game for over 3 years now, but this is the first work I've spent time preparing and creating for over a year to give you an amazing experience. Just try the first 3 chapters okay? I'm sure I can sell you in on this unique concept if you can just give me a chance. <<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.
