Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them. ... more>>

With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City. 

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

What a wrong way to reincarnate after being murdered by one's best friend!... more>>

Nekohiko's throat was slit as he was ascending his throne as the Supreme Divine Emperor. A moment later, his murderer claimed that very throne for himself. To add the insult to the injury -- Nekohiko's name was erased from all the history books as though he had never existed.

Driven by intense resentment, Nekohiko refused to die. He reincarnated. He had to find out how someone who loved him and who he loved back could destroy him so utterly along with everything Nekohiko stood for.

The only problem was that he reincarnated as a... tree. No, much worse than that. A cut tree. A simple wooden log sent to a workshop to be shaped into, let's say, a table, or a chair, or maybe -- if fortunate -- into a bookshelf for the new Emperor.

Until Nekohiko meets a soul that understands his pain and is willing to help a poor tree log gain shape that is far more fitting for a human bent on nothing but sweet, slow revenge.

Or, even better -- several shapes.

I will release a chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

See the Glossary for more Information about the romance (ML section). Or in general -- for pictures and miscellaneous stuff about the book. ^^

The story is a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns and will involve a lot of mystery-solving to understand the motivations and goals of different characters. Action sequences will happen when the plot calls for them, but they will all require buildup to greater impact. The main themes are emotional and psychological explorations of identity, desire, fate, and intent. Characters will grow and develop across present arcs but flashbacks to provide context and mystery clues to their behaviors will be in order, yet without overpowering the present narrative (Flashbacks are episodic slice-of-life and do not have their own plot line).

Yan BarCarran has never felt at home. She’s an orphan among her extended family, a spacer among the ground dwellers while at school, and a one-in-a-million oddity born with the ability to use the God-given power. Still, at least at the Academy, an elite theological school where those with the power are sent to train, she knows where she stands. Her peaceful life falls apart when she receives her apprenticeship invitation at graduation.... more>>

Aymon Sandreas is the de facto leader of the Empire. He commands hundreds of powerful starships and keeps order among the planets under his rule. He’s also getting older, and the time has come for him to choose apprentices, one of whom will eventually become his chosen successor. He picks three students: the spiritual and talented Yan, the mysterious and troubled Kino, and the impulsive and striving Sid.

Now in the dead center of politics, Yan faces danger from would-be assassins and political rivals. If she doesn’t learn well enough and fast enough, she’ll die before she ever has a chance to make a difference. Between her fellow apprentices, the reformed criminal tasked with teaching her survival, and even her powerful master, Yan isn’t sure who to trust in this dangerous new world.

Sometimes, the right choice is the hardest thing to see. <<less

Two Lives, Two Souls, Both forced down into their roles,
One in the Light, One in the Dark, As the Fates portend,
One to uphold, one to turn over the Mores,
Would they Save the World, or Bring it to its End?... more>>

A story where things might not be what they seem like.

Several high school students found their lives suddenly turned upside down when they were summoned to another world as [Heroes]. One found themselves before an entity that only recalled memories of eldritch gods, and found themselves changed into something else altogether. Circumstances forced the former friends into opposing sides, each finding out more from their own side of the story.

In the end, who told the truth? Who fed them with lies? What was best for the world they had been brought to? All were answers they have to find for themselves.

Chapters will range from 2-3k words, scheduled for release every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

In the Avalyne Empire, there is only one way to achieve greatness: exhibition matches. Those who possess the power to bestow god-given gifts known as Crests stand tall and proud as nobles, supporting their knights who wade into battle for the sake of glory, victory, and honor. Knights and nobles alike study and train at Avalyne Academy to hone their skills and participate in academy-level matches, all while forming lasting bonds to become fully-fledged pairs.... more>>

Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change.

As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience.

Pain and loss make us better and stronger people. This is the story of a superhero who started from a broken home and found more. When your powers came from a notorious super villain, does that fact define your future? Who you are?... more>>

Disclaimers: Arc 3 - An Ill Wind through current are loosely edited by myself. Arc 1 - The Dream - Arc 2 - Second Flight are highly edited.

My co-writer isn't with us anymore. I've converted this story into a serialized novel series. I don't consider this to be just any novel, since it has personal and sentimental value. Everything from The Dream to Saucery was co-written by Sureia (Khaizard), my late fiancee'. Let's see where the story goes beyond from arc 6 through 9, where it will end.

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. ... more>>

With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity.

The Order wasn’t free. Each year cities sent their armies to Falling Fields to gather Orbs, the lifeblood, the source of the Flows that were expended to manipulate the Order and Entropy fields. Cities rich in Flows had tractors for their fields, air conditioning for the homes of the wealthy, and armies bristling with guns and tanks. Those without struggled to survive, always wanting more.

With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men.

[I have a big backlog of chapters, so I'll aim to post several a day until I catch up.]
Book 1 has 138 Chapters and 3 Epilogues. The highest tier on Patreon is up to Chapter 12 of Book 2. patreon.com/tomwrath

It is the year 802.

Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father. His father has amassed a great fortune as a merchant, he could buy and sell the castles and lands of the lords of the city, but there is one thing his money can't buy: nobility.

Tiberius has been trained and honed to compete for the Griidsuit. Winning the suit comes with the founding of a new noble house that would satisfy his father's grandest ambitions. Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth.

Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.

I have categorized this story as a LitRPG, but it might be more accurately called lite-LITRPG. I'm new to the genre, but I'm having fun playing with it, so please, be forgiving and don't expect the hardcore stat sheets I've seen in some other stories.

What to expect:

-Light LitRPG elements woven organically in Tiberius's growing affinity for the suit. If you don't like LitRPG then these elements won't effect your experience.

-Gradual progression, starting at very weak.

-Light romance elements.

-Game of Thrones-esque land of intrigue, warfare, alliances, betrayals, and plots.

-A Fallout meets Middle-Earth world of medieval cultures melding with the futuristic.

-A complex system of cities manipulating Order and Entropy.

-Pitched battles.

-Blood Prince, unlike A Time of Change and Broken Chains, has essentially one POV character.

-Superhero combat.

-Mysterious histories, worldbuilding, lore.

This Story is set 200 years before "A Time of Change and Broken Chains", but can be read at the same time, or before, or after. I've called it "Book 2" but it really doesn't effect the experience if you start with Book 1 or Book 2. I think you should start with this one :) You could even read it as a standalone. <<less

THE ULTIMATE PASSIVE PARADIGM
(~4.5k words/chapter)... more>>

Nathan Reed never asked to be a cultivator. He certainly never asked to be the worst one in history.

Thrust into a world of martial arts and magic, this former Earth graduate with an existential crisis finds himself at the bottom of the cultivation ladder. With a body that refuses to absorb spiritual energy and a cultivation level that's laughably low, Nathan's dreams of returning home seem impossible.

But the universe has a twisted sense of humor.

On the eve of his expulsion from the Verdant Spire Sect, Nathan's long-dormant system finally awakens. Armed with a mysterious system, Nathan must now navigate a ruthless tournament that could catapult him from outcast to inner disciple. Each skill he gains reshapes the very foundations of his cultivation, steering his future path.

In a realm where power is everything, Nathan will prove that sometimes the ultimate strength lies in simply enduring.

Dive into this action-packed LitRPG cultivation novel filled with:

- A unique and fun passive system.

- Intense, realistic, and delicate martial arts battles where strategy trumps brute force (but sometimes it could be otherwise).

- Protagonists who must outsmart their opponents to survive.

- Rich world-building blending Eastern cultivation with Western fantasy.

- Unconventional skills that turn apparent weaknesses into strengths.

- A dash of humor to balance the high-stakes action.

It won't be filled with:

- Overpowered scenarios.

- Uninteresting love lines.

- Unreasonable killings.

Notes:
I haven’t finished writing the most recent arc of the original draft due to a series of crippling mental blocks caused by various challenges, stress being one of them. While I imagine these challenges are unlikely to improve anytime soon, I want to try to stop being paralyzed by doubt and depression. This is the version I polished until it gleamed in the hopes of it getting picked up by publishers, with the help of AlliterativeArts. Sadly that didn't come to pass at the time and it’s been stored ever since.

SuperLuminal holds a special, irreplaceable place in my heart where Sureia lives on. This isn’t just any novel to me; it carries great personal and sentimental value. It's been your acceptance and love have been the keys to reviving my ambition as a writer—love and acceptance I hope to earn anew and so I've dusted off the files on my computer and am releasing what I have! We’ll forge onward despite all the barriers that both I and SuperLuminal continue to face. If things go well, I hope to have my memory refreshed by the time we reach the end of this material and to throw everything I have—all my passion—into the next big arc.

Thank you for your support!

Ever had that nagging feeling that something’s wrong with you but you can’t figure out what? For Anja Wolf, that feeling isn’t just a passing thought. It’s her reality.... more>>

On the surface, she's just another survivor in a world where humanity hides from man-eating giants behind towering walls. Haunted by trauma, she fights to protect the few people she still has left. But beneath that ordinary exterior, something ancient and terrifying stirs, something that was never meant to exist in this world.

This isn't just another tale of hidden powers or fate. At first, it’s a military thriller a slow-burning descent into the horrors of war and the weight of survival. You'll follow Anja as small, unsettling hints begin to pile up. Those vivid nightmares that feel too real. The moments of missing time. The way people perceive her. What begins as a tale of human resilience spirals into a creeping psychological and cosmic horror that will make you question everything you thought you knew about this world.

In this psychological reimagining of Attack on Titan's world, the line between hero and monster grows increasingly thin. As Anja delves deeper into the darkness that afflicts her, she'll learn that some questions are better left unanswered, especially when the answers might destroy everything she holds dear.

Fair warning - This isn’t just a simple retelling, it’s a story that throws fate off course, revealing horrors this world was never meant to face. It's a slow-burn journey that takes its time building atmosphere and characters before unleashing its full intensity. It doesn’t shy away from the brutal realities of this world both the horrors of war and the things lurking just beneath the surface. But if you enjoy psychological horror that creeps up on you, complex military drama, and mysteries where every small detail matters, I promise the payoff will be worth your patience. <<less

Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities.

But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed.

Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will.

This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting.

Almost 500 years have passed since the modern world we know today fell, and all have come to ruin under dire conditions that plagued all nations. A blight of food, exhaustion of water, and depletion of resources brought on international distress that lead to nuclear warfare for survival, and with it complete antihalation of all humankind.

Oracles were known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator to give guidance to the people. What does it mean if the title of Oracle is bestowed upon an individual? A call for adventuring, dungeon diving, slaying monster, right? Maybe. Before an individual named Kihet, An Enui from a secluded village could fulfill his dream of embarking a grand adventure, a tragedy from his past returned to haunt him.

Kihet couldn’t remember much of an unfortunate accident that left many important hunters and loved ones dead. He only recalled a vague memory of a mysterious man etching a cursed symbol on him and recited some words from an ominous book in hand.

"For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested.
Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials.
Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk.
Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world."

What does it mean? Does it relate to the mysterious Tower only Kihet and his friends could see? What dark secrets unfold as he tried to look for answers?

In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator.

This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilization, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost.
