[I was reborn too weak to be an adventurer, so I opened an item shop by the dungeon instead!]... more>>

Reborn into a fantastical RPG-system based world, Fresh is offered a second chance at life. Initially glad to have escaped her old life, she quickly realizes that this new one might not be much better. Her new body is too frail to follow any grand dreams of adventure, her new mind is too dulled to allow any meticulous planning and this new, seemingly colorful, kind world is anything but.

Needing a way to survive in this horrible place, Fresh bands together with some unusual people and they take on an entirely new challenge; running an item shop just outside of the dungeon!

Jack Smith’s life ended rather abruptly. Spinning out on ice while driving a truck was not the most magnificent method to depart this earth. A mediocre man he had led an ordinary life until his death. Now with a second chance at life, he decided that this time he would be exceptional. This time he would finally live up to his name. After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

Armed with a system and determination to do his best he sets out like any other reincarnated soul in another world to find his place and achieve great things. There is just one small problem with getting started in this endeavour . . . he is yet to be born!

Welcome to a progression fantasy with a twist. What might you be able to achieve if your race to the top began before your body had even been born?

Join our hero as he masters the language, magics and skills of the Compass Kingdoms but his first great challenge will be learning to walk once more.

Warning 1: Be prepared for the MC to spend an entire book's worth of words and time as an infant but hopefully you will enjoy it nevertheless.

Warning 2: Grandfather is legally abusive to MC for a couple of chapters but he is removed from that situation around chapter 30. To be edited out some time in the future. <<less

A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Updates three times a week. <<less

Suffering the machinations of family, Remus is sent to the newly built border city of Greltheaven. A place filled with opportunities but also dangers.... more>>

If it had been up to him, he would have stayed in the safety of the empire, slowly building his business as he had planned, but he did not have a choice, either go to the dangerous city or live a mediocre life.

Which he is not willing to do.

Swearing revenge, he packed his bags and moved to Greltheaven, a city of great dangers and fortune.

...

A brothel is not an easy business to run, much less get success, but since fate had so kindly decreed it upon him, he will not only run the brothel but will make it immensely successful.

He had plans, big plans for it; he only hoped the city would remain standing long enough to turn his small business into an empire.

Rick made new rules for himself every few days. But there was only one rule that he truly always followed- Don’t stretch your legs more than the size of your blanket. The way to success was by not drawing unwanted attention.... more>>

But when the Inter-planar wars began, Rick had no other choice than to survive, and for that, he had to give up his laid-back lifestyle.

“Still not gonna be a hero!” Rick vowed.

Superhuman strength, agility, ability to use magic, telepathy, all sorts of talents emerged.

As heroes began to emerge among the population, Rick decided to take up the mantle of being the man in the shadows.

(This story is also posted to Royal Road under the same name)

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries? <<less

A travelling romance story, following a pair of women adventuring around a fantasy world in the last year before it's destroyed.... more>>

The last year is upon us.
The world is ending, but you already knew that; everyone does.
Spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed here in this small town with no name. Thousands of different colours now paint the field that had been coloured by frost alone just yesterday.
The townsfolk have gathered by the field to celebrate the beginning of the last spring with so many smiling faces.
Tears too.
I can’t help but wonder whether the flowers will bloom again before the sky falls upon us. Others must be thinking the same.
There are moments when the smiles fade and their eyes glaze over as they realize just how near to the end we are. They forget it again in moments. They make themselves forget.
The children aren’t like that, though. They don’t seem to understand, or they’ve come to accept it in a way that their parents just can’t manage to.
This one boy actually asked me why I was sad. I had to wonder whether he was actually aware that the world is ending, but it seemed wrong to mention it. I ended up just telling him that I was waiting for someone, and he scampered off, wearing a silly smile.
I can’t help but feel jealous of him.

The beginning of next spring; the day that the world ends. It seems so far away, yet so close.
Wherever you are now, I have to ask, how are you spending your last spring? Did you get to see the flowers bloom? Did you smile? Did you cry? <<less

A gang leader in the year 2018 is sent to hell for 10000 years.

In one day a prince with no luck or talent in combat is sent in Purgatory.

Will the prince accept the proposal of the soul from hell?

A dark, science fantasy tale of a man, Subject 513, sent to another world as an experimental test subject.... more>>

WARNING: This is not your typical isekai, wish-fulfillment story. You have been warned.

In the year 2022, a mass-transit of test subjects occurred inside the confines of a vast, underground research facility. The 500 or-so individuals taking part in this secret experiment -- labelled: The 1st Beta Phase -- were force-transferred to another world under the direction of Project Prometheus.

These test subjects had one, singular role: to act as "baseline tests" for future, planned experiments.

Among the individuals taking part in the experiment, was Subject 513…

...sirens blared throughout the 4th Research Facility as an anomalous event transpired within one of the many transfer pods...

“Subject 513: missing. Force-transfer procedure has been cancelled. Foreign matter detected.”

Those were the last words uttered by the life-support system monitoring Subject 513’s vitals, as it shut down indefinitely.

As 513’s consciousness faded into the void, his physical presence left on Earth crumbled to dust, blanketing the floor of the transfer pod he was stored within, in grey ash...

...when he awoke, the last few years of his life had seemingly been plucked-away from his memories. And to make matters worse, he found himself trapped under the gaze of a ravenous beast, ready to tear him apart...

Join Subject 513 on his grueling journey of struggle, misery, and search for purpose, as he navigates through an unfamiliar world alone.

It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt.... more>>

It was night, but there was a full moon. And a young girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"

Book 1 - Lord of the Jade Plains

The Jade Plains, filled with great herds of bison and ferocious packs of wolves, was a dangerous frontier region where two towns fought for supremacy. These two towns, and two families that controlled each, were old foes destined to clash after a long period of fragile peace. The one that emerged victorious would become the undisputed lord, the owner of all the wealth that lied beneath these windswept hills and endless waves of grass. But nobody was prepared for the arrival of an exceptional young man from the mountains taking the first stumbling steps on a path to greatness.

Dear, my little sweet princess of the west, how have you been spring child?

As usual Here in the east we are celebrating the winter festival, it's rowdy, cheerful, and loud... very, very loud, from the smiling children with their candies in their hands and mouth, to the adults dancing gleefully with their partners.

But... you know me when I write letters, so if this letter has finally fallen to your hands child, that means I have died from the hands of the Rider Cultist. I know for sure you will weep for me, mourn for me, but don’t take too long child, because the time has come to summon the last heroes, act now! quickly and swiftly, because the clock has ticked again with my death. For his return is now inevitable and our enemies too are making their moves. Summon them child, summon them for this world's fate is rested upon those heroes.

Sincerely, your great of a Magus of the East uncle,

Lord Protector is fantasy series following a teenage trio named Martyn Wulf, Arthur Svard, Eleanna Florens and their teacher Marie Maynard, who were summoned to a world called Lumenter by the Kingdom of Albion.

They are tasked to protect Lumenter from an old chaotic force, that previously has tried and failed to destroy Lumenter, but this trio and their teacher took a different approach on their task, rather than becoming a heroes party and venturing out to this new world, they, or more specifically, Martyn Wulf, the brain of the trio, made a deal with the King of Albion.

The deal was that Martyn, his friends, and his teacher would be protected by the Kingdom and then making Martyn as the co-ruler of Albion, where in exchange he will improve and advance Albion politically, economically, diplomatically, and maybe even technologically.

The King and his advisors accepted Martyn's offers but by doing this, he just plunge himself as well as his friends and teacher to a world of corruption, lies, betrayal, and greed.

Either way, he must play this messed up game of chest for his survival, his friends' survival, and his teacher's survival.
