Now she’s up a tree the size of a planet, and all who meet her either run screaming or attack on sight. If everyone would just calm down and stop trying to kill her for one moment, she might get a chance to explain that this has all been a horrible misunderstanding.... more>>

"In Earth's distant future, most of its religions known today decline or change. As a result of this spiritual upheaval, the barrier between the spiritual world and the physical one falter, and ghouls and demons are loosed upon the earth. Ultimately, most of these are resealed by the new religions, but one such demon named Belial, requires nothing short of sealing by angels to put back to rest. Thousands of years later, a beggar named Ambrosia Brahmin picks herself off the street only to be sent on a fetch quest by God, joined by swordsman, a shaman, a thief, a druid, an exorcist, an angel, and a demon. Meanwhile, the demon from eons before, sealed... more>> in a jar, is slowly being unsealed by a duped wizard, given false promises of rewards that await him..."

While on Earth, the Church secretly battles over the planet's destiny with multiple other factions; Gabriel was just delivering pizzas when he ended up in a battle among creatures that defied logic.... more>>

Sure, he thought, who doesn't love pizza? But do angels, demons, and big ass wolves eat pizza as well?

Gabriel was paid for his delivery, but the payment he got wasn't exactly what he hoped for, because for all his efforts, the man was rewarded with a lizard... and a world expecting a little too much from him than he was comfortable with.

Gabe will find himself in a different world, a world from which all Earth's current problems stem and a world to which he has more ties than he was ever told.

Will Gabriel and his lizard survive in a world so hell-bent on getting them to follow its rules, or will they die defying them? Follow their adventures on Alter, where elves, dwarves, orcs, and many more races share their existence with those of Spirits. Whether they like it or not.

Expected release will be 1 - 2 chapters a day, for now.

Given the abundant stack of chapters, there will be releases even on the weekends!

Release time 09:00 AM and PM UTC

This series is being posted on RoyalRoad as well.

Author blurb...

This story is a slow burn; I wanted to write something that felt at least probable, not the usual: man appears in a new world, everyone helps him, and he's fit and ready for the job!

Gabriel will need time to adapt to his new reality, as you'll definitely notice in the first chapters. However, when the action hits, it hits hard. 

Something to know about me? I'm Italian; I love foreshadowing and Chekhov's guns (it should be clear by my avatar, I'm a One Piece lover, so I've learned from the best), you'll find a lot of those in my novels. So keep your notes to check for them, and don't forget to eat as much pizza as you can! <<less

School's out for summer! And for Michael, it couldn't have come at a better time. Suffering from the heartache of a bad break up, Michael sought a place to escape into. In steps his Big Sister Cara to save the day with a suite of Golden Tickets; she just so happens to be one of the big winners of a very special lottery. Yup, and now they're off into the magical virtual world of Abrynth with the promise of "A new world, A new life." But little does Michael know just how true those words will hold... and the big loss in store for him.... more>>

Warning: The following story is inspired by light novels, anime, and mangas. (Nope, nothing new here, at least I don't think there is, other than the author (yours truly)) It is meant to be a simple, easy to read, fun, light-hearted adventure through a virtual fantasy world. Plus, it's my first time writing like this... so please be aware that there will be mistakes made along the way... so I invite you to enter the dragon and enjoy your time in Abrynth. <<less

------------------------------------
Well, this was an idea I had like a week ago, and wanted to try it out on my journey to learn how to write. So, here it is. It's another fanfic, yes. Because it's easier to write.

Also, with this one, I'll probably post only during the weekends, not daily like with the Novel's Extra's Extra. Firstly because I want to finish the other one, and also because I need to research a lot more (I'm not that knowledgeable in Harry Potter.)

As usual, any feedback and criticism will be well received, and thanks for reading!

Will be posting this in Royal Road and Webnovel too. <<less

Rise of the Business [Class] is a story about a world where humanity ended up fleeing Earth through space, after suffering several great disasters at home.... more>>

On arrival we crash-landed and were soon attacked by magic wielding civilizations who learned how to deal with our weaponry at a speed that belied their seemingly simplistic nature.

We were lost.

But eventually we survived by abandoning technology and adapting.

But this tale takes place thousands of years later, after humanity's new homeland has had time to rise and falter more than once.

It tells of a time where we adapted too much, focusing only on combat and magic and learning to rely on the System that our ancestors built in order to compete and survive on this hostile planet with the others.  

This is a story of our final chance during a time when all of humanity is under siege again, where we struggled to adapt too late and ultimately had to learn how to summon a collection of people from Earth through time and space to come help–but not to the besieged time but back a couple of hundred years earlier–before it went too far down the wrong path, so their chosen can hopefully change things enough to prevent a return to that timeline.

Follow Livia as she is ripped from her favorite library and end up getting lucky, or unlucky? On her very first day on the Elderwood continent.

While a trio of native lads excitedly leave home to find adventure, oblivious of how very soon they might end up entangled in the fate of the world that has always been their home.

But the question that remains to be answered, that this first leg of the journey aims to find out; is what can a LitRPG bookworm like Livia do if called on to change humanity and prepare us all for the future, all before her 21st birthday?

Cheers for reading this far, have a biscuit!

The Rifts arrived and brought many things to the world. Some perceived their destructiveness as punishment. Others worshipped their existence. The Guild saw a financial opportunity. Nations saw a weapon for conquering their neighbours. The System detected an intruder that needed to be purged.... more>>

Kade’s curiosity always got the better of him. He would argue it wasn’t his fault, but his two feet carried him towards the giant purple crystal that would send his life into chaos like so many others.

You should keep the following in mind:

Mature Warning: This series contains some explicit sex scenes but makes up less than 2% of the word count. They are a bit detail-oriented but not distasteful, IMO. Sometimes pillow talk is relevant to the plot, so skip them at your discretion. <<less

A sci-fi space adventure involving mysteries, aliens, and explorers terraforming planets. ... more>>

Trillion wasn’t expecting to have her mind uploaded into a spaceship today. But it happened and now there’s no turning back for her and three others.
The four of them now travel through space, looking for new worlds to terraform - looking to build A New Eden.
Their hasty departure meant they weren’t prepared for what they encountered out in space. They discovered mysteries they needed to solve. They entered battles they didn’t have a hope of winning. And, they needed to find creative solutions to problems they didn’t know were possible.

Should I read this book?:
YES. If you like a good sci-fi space adventure that’s a mix of action/mystery/thriller/science. No ‘lit-RPG’ here.

Books this is similar to.
Children of Time by Adrien Tchaikovsky
We are Legion (Bobiverse) by Dennis E. Taylor
Give me some suggestions of RR books it’s similar to.

In case you weren't paying attention to the title this is a BL novel. If that isn't what you're into maybe just do the sensible thing and go read something else.

I should also probably mention this is the first story I've ever written. I do my best to make sure there are no errors or plot holes but I'm bound to miss something. If you spot anything feel free to mention it in the comments and I'll get around to fixing it...at some point. <<less
