Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!... more>>

Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice.

It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more.

You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need.

Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters?

Please Note: I publish daily.
Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4342/swamp-boy). The old story (on another site) is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it. <<less

Volume 1 - Memories. Cover art done by Gelowaggle.
If you remember something but no one is around to see it, does it truly happen? And if memory makes up your identity, what happens when you give that identity up? That was what 'Nowun' had to determine after agreeing to be sent to another world. A piling of coincidences and misfortune, the choice of an unorthodox power. If he wanted to avoid playing on the strings of the Goddess, he would need to circumvent her powers. And to do that, he made a gamble. ... more>>

Volume 2 - Sentiments. Cover art done by sasha_chii.
Zhan Xinxin was trapped. Cursed by heaven-defying beauty, bound by clan duty and an arranged marriage, she was desperate for a way out. And then one day she came across a mysterious young man while sneaking out from the clan. Without hesitation, she clung onto the nameless man as her only hope. However, that 'only hope' was a ruthless and nameless ghost who had his own agenda. Entrusting her fate to such a person... would Xinxin grow to regret her decision?

Volume 3 - Ego. Cover art done by Shirayuki/tamarin
What was right? What was wrong? Should he gather the strength to overcome the world itself, or be content in protecting those he loved? That was the question that split the nameless young man in half. The Demon Lord with nothing to his name and the Nameless One who was but a ghost of his past self. As the cosmic game of Fate continues, an inevitable confrontation draws near.

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

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

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

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

And thank you for reading.

That’s right, dear reader. The lives of nine people are now in your hands. They’ve woken up at the top of a tower in the clouds with only one directive: BE INTERESTING, OR DIE.

So how does it work?
Chapters are posted daily during each arc. After that, a poll will open for 24 hours. The character with the most votes will then get a chapter before dying. From there, we roll on to the next arc! <<less

That was until she was saved by Leo, a fairy who protected the Galaxy Kingdom. To pay off her debt to him, she was stuck with the task of reuniting the two sides after the capricious kings had a war over... something.

******************************

Author's Word:

This story is not a comedy. Now, don't get me wrong, my dear reader; it is funny. Hell, it has even been called downright hilarious by a couple of readers that may or may not have been my mother. But in essence, it is not purely comedy, in the same way that it is not purely tragedy. The Crab Fighter is just an intense story. Sometimes you will laugh like a ticklish hyena and sometimes you will cry as if you're reading this on onion paper. Your blood will boil, you will feel sympathy, pity, and passion, and that's all part of the deal. If you're into that, read ahead.

Now, I know what you're thinking. These are rather bold claims. Can I truly support them?

Oh, my dear reader. I most certainly can. Welcome aboard.

Synopsis:

A man wakes up in an unknown, fantastical world with blue screens, levels, classes, and absolutely no idea of who he is. Did I mention giant crabs? Worst of all, a series of unfortunate circumstances lead to him adopting an... uncomfortable... name.

In his struggle to survive, he will fight his way through crab dens, forests, towns, and sewers. He will befriend barbaric orcs and smug outcasts, sneakily sneak into the enemy's heart of operations, fight against monsters and stand for what is right. Besides, if he just so happens to amusingly and quite epically turn the world on its head while doing so... Eh, it happens.

But all that is only provided he survives his first day in the world of Peras. Will he live and thrive, enjoying an epic lifetime of razor-sharp adventure and manly brotherhood? Or will he be turned into crab food on the very first day of his existence?

And what's a modern-day sailor doing there?!

Join our unfortunately named friend and find out... Adventure's waiting!

~Reject humanity, return to crab~

Meta-sypnosis:

A high-fantasy LitRPG adventure, focusing a bit more on the 'Lit' and less on the 'RPG' for later chapters. We mainly follow the MC's adventures, but significant emphasis is also given to a small, sometimes rotating cast of other characters. While the story's main genre is definitely an adventure, the theme is dynamic, with different chapters ranging from epic, to wholesome, to hilarious, to dark and action-packed.

Updates are weekly, 06:00 GMT every Sunday. This story is also posted on RoyalRoad.

Please give me feedback, friends, and enjoy! Or, you know... don't. Your call.

Why are you still reading this? I'm running out of words! Just go read the first chapter, goddamnit. <<less
