We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course.... more>>

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory.

Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order.

It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time.

When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life.

Serenity.

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

While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges.

The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has.

Of course, that's only his second priority.

A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way.

The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured.

The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery. <<less

Global changes have occurred, the world has turned into a game, and strange monsters are raging all over the world. To become stronger and to resist disasters. Everyone is changing classes and moving up their ranks like crazy. Some people become wizards in their first transformation, while others become professional thunder warriors in their second transformation. But Ling Zhan did the opposite. First, he chose a non-professional class and added the blue bar to all attribute points. “It's crazy. I don't have a class. All I have are low-level skills before I change classes. How can I fight in the later stages? What's the use of the blue bars? It can't increase combat effectiveness. It's... more>> really funny...”

However, when the battle occurs, Level 3 Thunder Warrior: “I'm shocked, non-professionals are so strong?”

A certain third-level Elf Queen: “Infinite blue bars, invincible in one-on-one combat, No. 1 in team battles, how can we fight like this?” <<less

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet.... more>>

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

Editing/Beta-Reader Thanks to: Popcornia <<less

The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon.... more>>

So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything.
Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls don’t pay much attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story.

Hi, this is my first story that I am posting on here and so I am not sure of how the quality will be or how often I will be uploading but I will try to write to the best of my ability and upload every Tuesday and Friday. So I will be happy to receive any constructive criticism.
Also there are going to be lots of time skips and POV changes to characters that might never reappear and there will be trans characters so keep any hateful comments to yourself.
Since this is my first story I will be adding tags as they come up in the story but if you think of any that I have missed please leave a comment and I will fix it. <<less

[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it was obviously about violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]
__________________________
Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone –... more>> Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

Author's note: I plan to update this twice a week, usually on Friday and Saturday if I can, but if I have a nice bit of inspiration, I might do an extra chapter on Sunday.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be the bad guy?... more>>

Tom Gardner is your average sixteen year old. He likes burgers, plays video games, doesn’t do too well in school – pretty typical. That all changes when he finds himself in another world – one of knights and nobles, of monsters and magic. A fantasy realm ripped straight from the digital pages of some lame web novel.

Except, Tom’s not himself. He’s a lich… an ancient sorceror with untold power. Not just any lich, either – he’s Corvus, the Dark Lord. And everyone wants to kill him.

This is his tale. The tale of a lich. The tale of… Tom, the Dark Lord.

This is a rewrite of an old story of mine I had on an old account on RoyalRoad, which is now deleted. I’m hoping it’ll last longer this time. I’ll be posting chapters in advance over on RoyalRoad, so, if you’re impatient, check it out over there. <<less
