Aperio had been a slave for as long as she could remember. She toiled away in the palace of her masters, her body forced to obey, her mind no longer caring that she did. Her only joy was the small inconveniences an error in her work could bring, the resulting punishment a small price to pay. When the news came she was to be sacrificed in a grand ritual, she welcomed it—for most, death was a cause for grief and mourning, but for Aperio, it was her only way out.... more>>

However, during the final stages, something went wrong. Fate intervened, and Aperio found herself in a world she no longer knew, with powers beyond her wildest dreams. No longer a slave to the Empire, she set out to find her place in the world, and enjoy true freedom for the first time in her life.

Within those hundreds of thousands of years, calamity upon calamity met the peoples of the world. Now they grow desolate. The powers that existed in those bygone ages now wane. The world seems to be moving to a lull. And distrust and madness consumes those in positions of power. During the twilight of the current age, a boy was born to a cursed couple. They offended a sage who had come to visit, and paid for their insolence. Their child was to be exiled. Yet the sage felt remorse, and offered to train and guide their yet unborn son.

The Sister Continent is separated from her Brother by a vast and challenging ocean. The city-state metropoli that dot the Sister Continent are divided by constant wars and their desire for domination. Built over the ruins of past empires, this has been the way of the land through the ages. The industrial revolution of each city-state brings with it tidings of new technology, faster transportation, deadly weapons and the threat of great battles beyond the likes the world has ever seen. High walls and deep trenches make combat a brutal affair. This, however, is only secondary to the Aspect revolution heralded in by the Fable Talis Ranis himself, the greatest Savant in the land. Thought... more>> to be one in a million, the mysterious and powerful Aspect are magical superpowers in which only the enlightened may unlock, that manifest uniquely in each individual able to awaken these dormant abilities. Those with the talent to unleash them have the potential to impact the world.

For Hales growing up in the imperial city-state of Garghent there are few options other than work as a soldier. Her existence could be summed up as days wasted dreaming about stars and nights spent in restless insomnia. Clever and fiery, Hales is forced on path which threatens to split her mind into fragments when faced with two events that will alter the course of her life forever. The first is her acceptance into Garghent’s new high school guaranteeing the awakening of an Aspect at the cost of permanent service in the military. The second is an encounter with a quiet boy named Deo who wanders the city picking strange flowers. When all out war is declared, a draft is issued pulling the innocent boy into the service of the military and forced to fight and kill or die for a cause he does not believe in, Deo must make a decision. But what choice he really have? For in him is the Aspect of Death and pushed too far he may embrace his dark side, beginning his march against humanity while gathering all sinners under the sovereignty of his Villain Throne.

Author's Corner:

Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.

This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.

I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.

It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude.

This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story.

Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST.

I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there.

Goals:
50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday
100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday
250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday
500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!

Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package.... more>>

Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse.

The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission. <<less

Before reincarnating, the deceased soul had acquired a guidebook to living in the world of immortal cultivation, on accident. Now living as the hedonistic nephew of a sect elder, Yan Xiaolong tries his very best to survive in a world where men fly on swords and girls are made of peerless jade.... more>>

“Why are these young masters so arrogant?”

“Why are these beauties practicing ice cultivation?”

“Why are the restaurants so dangerous?”

In this new world, Yan Xiaolong must try his best to make more friends than enemies to live safely, befriending both martial heroes and sect villains along the way. In this new world, Yan Xiaolong must try to avoid flags from other characters or else he will attract the wrong attention for being too close with a girl.

In this new world, Yan Xiaolong must fight his way across hordes of young masters, their fathers, their grandfathers, their great-grandfather, their great-great-grandfather, their ancestors, and their godly progenitors to finally achieve the legendary goal of a relaxed power fantasy life with hot babes and cute pets on a farm.

A story of trying to be sensible in an insensible world.

A normal 20 year old living alone in his boring normal world with nothing to do, somehow gets thrown into the world of One Piece as a Riolu. (This inspiration came from the same idea from another writer. So thank you James F on Royal Road for this idea!) This is mostly for me to wind down from my main novel. Or to write something when I have writers block on my main novel. This will be much less worked on and polished, but since I am making it. I decided to let others read it if they want. I don't really have a plan for my characters and love interests. So I may change... more>> the Genre's in the future to match.

. Disclaimers: This story will contain eastern name settings as well as western setting names, so eastern names based on Chinese and Japanese Names in this setting will be presented with the family name before the given name (i.e., Last name first name). I would like to tell you, that I'm in no way, shape, or form a professional writer and that it will not be perfect. I will nonetheless strive to make it the most accurate and pertinent possible when it is due. I am, also, not a native speaker. My English skills are roughly 90% self-taught. You are welcome to correct my poor mastery of your tongue in the commentary section if you do it nicely, I'll correct my, multiple, blunders. Divine Warlock is my Second serious attempt at writing a story. It's heavily inspired by East Asia culture, folklore, and mythology, with the western magic element. I will try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are random on average, I will be releasing chapters on the day they are ready. <<less

Or to the top of this new, strange world, whichever comes first. Not like the coffee shop he worked at will miss him.

Author's Notes: Through the Void (and Back Again) is a slow burn fantasy, with LitRPG elements. However, the world itself is not codified, and it is all dependent on character point of view. Basically this means that the Main Character attempts to gamify the magic system, and convince other characters to follow suit. It will include some romantic elements further into the plot, and implied sexual conduct, but nothing overtly adult is included in this work.

Schedule: Tuesdays and Saturdays 8:05 P.M.

If you are looking for notifications, don't forget to follow the series! If you wanna support it even further, and help it in the algorithm, leaving a review is how to really push the envelop. Regardless, any engagement at all is appreciated, even if its just your eyes engaged on the latest chapter!

My name is Feng Cai, the ninth prince of the Immortal Sacred Heaven Empire and the only son between the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, or at least that is what everyone else believes in.... more>>

In reality, my real name is Jack Bakers, an average human from earth who enjoyed reading cultivation novels reborn as a rich prince should have been a good thing if I wasn't aware of how those Xianxia stories usually go for the young masters.

This means that there is a high chance I am going to get killed by a murderhobo protagonist, so yeah, not the best outcome, which is why I am going to become strong enough so that will never happen to me.

The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft.... more>>

However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now.

Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders.

At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves.

But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known.

Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with single sun orbited by 9 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its oceans and 6 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity.

Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing and actual first post here on Scribblehub (I usually just use RoyalRoad). I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself.
First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization who figured out how to travel FTL out of their home system and the slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt.
Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums.
Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went.
Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, sorry that I slept through Physics class but if you really want realism in sci-fi then I’m really sorry to disappoint you mate.
Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of peace with extraterrestrials as those at work are only preventing an inevitable genocide of civilization as we know it… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here.
Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process.
Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck. <<less
