To play the game of politics, one must be brave or foolish, but better to appear both and be neither. Countess Julia Augstadt lost her mother in childbirth, her father to an accident ten years ago, living in the shadow of the Royal Palace by a betrothal to the Crown Prince, only for that to be annulled with her eighteenth birthday approaching. There is no justice but that which can be administered with one’s own hands, no power but for that which one personally yields, and there is no evil which cannot be justified with greatness. It is a shame, then, that she has decided there is no greatness left in the lands she calls... more>> home.

Lena was a child when she first met Kyrie, and could see her when she didn't want to be seen. Kyrie tried to erase that moment with her power, but failed.... more>>

With the goddess of death's attention, little Lena has grown up protected, which she might not have if the goddess had not taken an interest in her.

To Lena, Kyrie is the personification of beauty, while to most, she is the epitome of death and despair. The Others herald great changes upon the world, sometimes toppling kings, and other times, utterly destroying empires.

Now watched over by powerful beings called Others, Lena has to grow up, while Kyrie still does not understand why this child feels familiar beyond their current interactions.

Updates are on Saturdays, at 12:01 AM Atlantic.
On hiatus. The commenters are giving me headaches, and since I do not get paid for these updates, I no longer feel the necessity to continue to supply entertainment for unappreciative audiences.

Cover art is the closest representation of Kyrie, the goddess of death.

Much to the gaming world's disappointment, Nael "Demon" Walker, regarded by many as the best youth professional, announced his retirement from eSports. From a young age, he had consistently dominated major tournaments of many games. But it seemed like that era had begun to pass. ... more>>

Nael's reason for retiring was to focus on college. Despite having obtained enough money to last him and his sister two lifetimes, he insisted on completing his studies. For a long time, his only recorded appearances were during his weekly streams.

But unbeknownst to everyone, Nael had secretly made a return. The world's first VRMMORPG, Antoria Online, was kicking up a storm. It boasted complete freedom of gameplay and an astonishing similarity to the visuals of the real world.

Unlike before, Nael wasn't planning on becoming the best. No, that, he had already proven. All he wanted to do was experience the game in its entirety, competing be damned. <<less

To the.
Magus of the West,
Princess of Albion,
and High Priestess of Albion,

Amadela Clovis Krone.

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. I wish you were still here to be my door answerer, hahaha.... well, duty still comes first for us Magus! So I hope you have a nice and fun winter festival there in Castle Krone with your family.

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,

Jan.“

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.

The void of space has always been a point of intrigue for humanity. It's driven us to go to great lengths to reach out to it. After many centuries, we finally touched it. Humanity expanded into the open, endless expanse of first the Sol System and then into the Milky Way galaxy itself. Other species were encountered and Humanity answered the lingering question of whether or not we were alone. After first contact, Humanity and the various Races created the Council. A central government to bring the civilizations together and forge peace across the Milky Way.... more>>

A peace that did not last and was shattered by rebellions, war, instability, distrust, and greed. The Council collapsed and factions formed. In the battles leading to its isolation, several systems were destroyed and entire races were wiped out. With no central police force, the galaxy became a festering pit of violence, deceit, and piracy.

The war was known as the 'Galactic Fracture' by many. After the war as the Council's influence crumbled, many people struggled for work. Some became mercenaries, corporate traders, pirates, or basic laborers to support themselves and their families. Due to the dangers of space, the average individual looked for safety within their system and refused to look elsewhere.

However, where there were cowards, there were several brave souls who dared risk the challenge of the void. Merchants, Transporters, Couriers, Escorts, Miners. For every scared soul there were four more willing to race outwards into the nothing, chasing dreams, wishes, hopes, and the impossibility of something more than the boring life stuck on some random planet.

One of those people is an man named John. A man who likes to remain hidden and who takes pride in his small, low threat jobs. Well, usually. His last job turned out to be bigger than he was told. After exiting a jump, he was ambushed and his ship was damaged heavily, leaving him stranded on the planet Louxier Seven. A desolate forging world with a pitiful shipyard that would take months to get the repairs done for him, and would leave him in crippling debt afterwards.

John had accepted his fate and elected to work part-time locally while waiting for the repairs when he finds himself visited by a strange woman. A woman with a job.

Tyra Blood-Fire didn’t want just any crew.... more>>

Bandits never built Great houses. They have no structure, organization, nor legacy. They had few tactics in the field and little design for the future. Worst of all they had no loyalty beyond filling their own pockets. A bandit clan was a pack of stray dogs fighting for scraps, willing to bite the hand if it dared to feed them.

Growing up in Balmora, Tyra knew that the Great Houses of her world were built on blood. Yet as an orphan child and a Human amongst Dark Elves, her concept of family was one forged from experience. It wasn't the bandits and cutthroats, but the loners and outcasts she identified with most. So when she picked out the crew that would become the Crimson Dirks, she sought out the qualities that best defined herself.

What she wanted were survivors. <<less

Hi, you can find me here or at RoyalRoad.
English isn't my native language, so let me know if there's anything that seems strange when I write it in English, so I can try to adapt.
For now, I'm not sure about everything in this story, just there is a system (I tagged it, but I'm unsure if I can say it's system leveling?), a female protagonist, an apocalypse and she will grow from weak to strong.
It's apocalypse, so it will probably have some sensitive content later, even if not much, so beware. <<less

Jim Stone , a name my mother gave to me while as she died, her final words were "Grow up rich and happy unlike me."

This is my story on how I became the greatest merchant in the world and how I caused the greatest war in merchant history with nothing but my greed.... more>>

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
