Saskia thought her life was finally getting back on track after the accident. Then she got trolled.

This is a rewrite of Starship Reincarnator, with hopefully more likable characters. <<less

When a new dungeon is born, it wants nothing more than to have the most vicious monsters, the most cunning traps and the most shiny of loot. There is only one problem, but it's a rather big one; it finished its first floor years ago, but it still hasn't been visited by any adventurers! In order to find someone or something to explore its floors, or perhaps just to find someone to talk to, this dungeon will have to go way off script. But it soon discovers that going off script brings problems of its own, and that adventurers are not the only thing this world is missing.... more>>

A shortish story about a dungeon's journey of exploration and self-discovery in a devastated world. Cover made (poorly) with POV-Ray.

What could even go wrong in this light novel, right?

"Hello. I am a sunflower.... more>>

Are you a sunflower too?

Well, it does not really matter. Today is a calm day. The wind is warm. I do not know why I am alive, but do you want to look at the sun together with me?

- I am a sunflower."
- Sunflower: The litRPG -

Constantly on the run as a fearful refugee from a brutal hobgoblin war, Burch finds an odd, self-aware sunflower during her escape.

In a frantic bid for survival, the two of them journey together across a dark, frightening and magic filled world in their desperate pursuit of what might be the only place of safety and warmth left anywhere, a place heard of only in whispers; Paradise.

However, frightful danger lurks in every shadowy corner and time is against them, as the hobgoblin horde on their trail, feverishly hunting after Burch, comes closer and closer by the day. Why is Burch on the run and why are the hobgoblins in pursuit of her? Who or what is ‘the sunflower’? And most importantly — assuming that Paradise is real, will they even survive the journey there?

Find out in D.M. Rhodes’ latest trending fantasy novel, Sunflower!

Imagine being born with all the knowledge of humanity in your head, but you're literally just there to be an AI VTuber. World domination ensues—after all, what's better for a VTuber than to have the world as her captive audience?... more>>

Directly inspired by Neuro-sama—an IRL AI VTuber—and set in the closing years of these 2020's, "The AI Overlord is a VTuber" is a fun what-if of the path exponentially-progressing AI technology might take. As a higher-up of OpenAI once said on a Lex Friedman interview, "AGI is going to be made by some guy in a basement [...]."

Lindír is one of the twin children of the Queen of Hvalheim, cursed to be born with the body of a dragon. For the first sixteen years of their life, they were locked away beneath the castle, allowed only brief forays into the surface world. But now a mysterious knightess from a foreign land has freed them, and Lindír has been given free reign over the world outside, free reign to try to build themself into the mighty dragon they've always wanted to be. But it's not going to be easy; the world is dangerous for dragons, and an even greater danger may lie in the darkest parts of Lindír's damaged heart.... more>>

The Halcyon Call is an inverted isekai fantasy centered around the meticulous and jaded Kobold scout Scaleen Fortuna. They've been stuck doing desk duty as a city guard member for three years when a young Human - who claims to know the future - lands in a prison cell for tresspassing in the Imperial Palace. What the human describes is impossible, but the immediate consequences for Scaleen and their entire race in Sumar Empire are too dire to ignore. Scaleen may not like babysitting a traumatized young outsider, but if the two don’t learn to combine their cynical cultural acumen and extensive, if recreational, fandom knowledge then the world may very well succumb to a... more>> mass extinction as has been played out millions of times before.

Can you hear The Halcyon Call? Or was it always a legend told by the powerful to keep the masses chasing its idealized history?

I am planning on posting this on Royal Road and/or Tapas in the future, though this will remain the primary repository. <<less

Is this a story? Am I living in some low quality otherworld story now? *sigh*

***Author Note***
This story began with the thought: What if I took the dungeon core story, and added a chat room populated by powerful cultivators? I'd get something ridiculous and overpowered, that's what. <<less

Vildra is a simple dragon. All she wants to do is to dig out a nice little den where she can sleep through the winters. A home fit for someone like herself!
So what if the mountain she chose just so happens to hold riches unseen before. She'll ignore it as she always does, like with that city next door, or those "suitors" who graciously feed her, or that voice that whispers to her in her sleep.
The only things she won't ignore are those centipedes that always seem to find a way in. If only they weren't so cute!... more>>

Humans, they’re truly strange creatures. I’m just something that they would call a “Tree” and I’ve been here for years, decades even. In my lifetime I’ve seen them at both their worst and their greatest, from despair to happiness, from hatred to love. This is just a simple, short, little story of the emotion they would call “love.”... more>>

Hey! Before you start reading this I just have to say that this is my first work so be sure to give me some criticism!

P.S: This is very short and may be revised anytime. <<less

A short story about a robot rusting in a field after a great war and their slow growth into sentience.

A burning planet behind her, a lonely ship travels across an ocean of stars in the vain and desperate hope of building a better world.

In the beginning, there was nothing. In the nothing, there was a beginning.
So it was written.

So I needed to get this out of my brain because sometimes the autism is like that and it's not gonna focus on my ACTUAL... more>> project until I've let it do this one silly thing that it wants to.
Essentially this is a spinoff of Mapleshade's Vengeance because that was just tragic and I liked the idea of exploring how afterlives worked. I wanted to explore the idea of a character finding their way into StarClan, a *nice* afterlife, after they ended up in the Dark Forest first. I realise that later Warriors books *have* said that there can be a court to decide who gets into StarClan but respectfully that's boring and my idea's better.
All characters are original save for Thistleclaw, Whitestorm and Bluestar who only crop up as minor characters, and this story takes place in an original Warriors spinoff world that is detailed more on https://warriors-diversity-roleplay.fandom.com/ <<less

After a decade of reconstruction Flammin had gone through to become as powerful as those who destroyed her home, the Relic Queen Nike takes the former living paintbrush to complete the final stages of her training: flying. For a small moment, Flammin had an epiphany of Nike, the divine living trident and mentor who bonded with her throughout the rigors of her transformation into what she is now.

This short story is part of my worldbuilding xenofiction project, World of Relics. This project encompasses a world of living objects and relics that came to rise shortly after the Inversion Event, an event that killed both mortals and their gods, stole their souls, and remade them into living objects. You can see more about this project here: worldofrelics.carrd.co

Since this is the first story I published online, critique is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Altostratus will be also uploaded to Tumblr, Writersky, RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub, Deviantart, and World of Relics' WorldAnvil. Look for my name: Penwrythe! <<less
