By morning, the sun weeps over streets splattered blood-red as an unsettling silence soon follows, lulling the broken remains of society into believing the blood bath is over.

As a second wave approaches, a handful of survivors from all walks of life must put aside their differences and band together to escape the pending slaughter while storm clouds begin to gather from within their fragile community. Some who were once respectable in the eyes of society will devolve into madness while the despicable rise to the occasion in a world no longer respecting of persons.

It is their world now. The dead are hungry and do not discriminate.

The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag.

Why are they screaming?

Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world…

Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest.

That is what we are to them.

Isekai Heroes, overpowered identityless children of god. The self-proclaimed protagonists of this world's history.

With their unlimited God-given charisma and luck, they enslave the mind and body of the blooming talents of the age, rendering them useless.

The complete lack of pride of the Isekai Heroes always makes them the playthings of the royalty and the church of the time. Although there may be some initial conflict with them, in the end they will forgive any inhuman actions of the organizations and befriend them to the point of fighting to the death for them.

Meanwhile, the side characters can only surrender in front of the divine plot of god and remain in the background of the canvas of destiny.

...

A spark.

A spark is all it takes to ignite that canvas.

And engulf the whole world in the flames of independence.

Roman of House Trambelio, or Roman Trambelio for conventional reasons happens to be the object of disdain for many a people and rightfully so, born... more>> into a major magus family with a partially defunct leg and lacking one eye, Roman would no doubt be disdained by the mostly elitist and aristocratic Magi.
Maybe even thought of as a breeding mare. The fact that he was engaged already spoke volumes upon volumes regarding that.
But,
It wasn't as if all hope was lost. Yes he was slightly crippled and no type of healing worked but, had anyone sought to understand why it was so? If they did, did they ever succeed?
The truth of it was, they didn't.
Roman had died before and reincarnated, passed through the origin of all creation, the Root, retaining a self. Some part of his soul was sapped hence the dysfunctions but he'd gained much for it, a power that may shake the very world given time to truly manifest.
Question was, what would he do with it? <<less

Trapped on a dying Earth, humanity desperately exploited technology to access the parallel world of Hovestile, a realm of magic and monsters. ... more>>

Hundreds of talented individuals were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Nonetheless, the natives of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. The humans from Earth who accepted this task were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, individuals with the ability to improve their natural abilities through fragments of the world's System known as "stats." Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with an innate talent for magic.

Alphonse Kneller is one such outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead.

As he begins to abandon hope, Kirie and Asa—two young feline demihumans—rescue and heal him. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract, a strange tome of equivalent exchange created by an ancient alchemist.

Accepting the contract and a bond with the two sisters, the three new comrades journey into the world as an adventuring party. They are the first members of the guild known as GRIM.

This story is planned out as a massive project spanning multiple volumes.

A dark force known as the ‘Malice’ corrupts the land, the world that once was is now a wasteland of stone and ash. Life prospers in the center of Haven alone, but those left living in the wastes know that if hunger doesn’t kill them, the monsters of the Malice will.

A train robber, a highborn, a prostitute, and a... more>> nun. Four witches who would have never met, had it not been for a rumor, the church fears a mysterious weapon found in the wastes. Can this rumored weapon bring Haven its salvation, or will it be their damnation?

Hey, this is my first attempt at writing a story and is initially practice.
With this story I'm not yet entirely sure where to go, maybe someone else will be the zombie king.

Eventually, I do wish to split this story into two.

Have a good day all of you.

Long after the ashes of World War 3 have settled, the world has come to meet grave changes. Long-lasting biological changes seeped deep beneath the earth's surface and man's skin. Long gone are the days of our time.... more>>

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. Billions wiped out in mere days.

A new dawn of man now roams our world, one altered by the levels of radiation in this human-made hellscape. Animals, plants, and all continents have been shifted to endure these severe restraints. Monsters evolved from beasts of the past, now genetic terrors that scour the craters of this wasteland. Humanity nothing more than a relic of the past.

Do you think that you are a true otaku? The weeb that consumes one terrible rom-com light novel adaptaion after another? Do you think you are so experienced in the field of cliche-packed harems, that you might as well just get isekai'd into one and guide your confused friends toward the 'True End'?... more>>

Hiro Chikakane would answer 'yes' to all of the above. Although he heroically decided to reject his otaku self, his fate had other plans for him.
One day, during his very first date with his very first actual 3D girlfriend, both of them get hit by the infamous truck and find themselves transported into... a harem, rom-com light novel with a ridiculously long title.

As something of a scientist himself, Hiro is faced with the most weeb challenge of all - To perfectly recreate all the rom-com cliches and thus finish the storyline with the help of totally original cast of The Main Girl, The Tsundere Childhood Friend, The Not-Related-By-Blood Younger Sister and (not so) many more.

Will Hiro and the team discover the secrets of the anime-esque world they found themselves in? Will they actually make this goddamn maid cafe in the 'School Festival Arc'? And most importantly, will Hiro decide... WHO IS THE BEST GIRL??? <<less

When Kan lost all his power to an accident four years ago, he thought the world of divine cultivation had closed its gate on him forever. Until a mysterious visitor offers him a cure and a chance to start over.... more>>

As Kan resumes his training, he discovers that the visitor’s gift isn’t a simple gesture of kindness. Dark forces are at play and monsters lurk in the shadows, threatening not only his life but also the future of the entire Continent. Meanwhile, his power has become stronger than he could ever imagine, and there seems to be more to the accident that once took everything away from him.

The truth behind these puzzles and the answer to who he truly is will bring a revelation that changes the course of mankind.

Note: this is a crossbreed of cultivation and high fantasy. The world is heavily Asian-inspired (though not Chinese or Taoist), the characters level up through stage progression and secret weapon unlocking, and the main conflict centers around politics and gods/demons. <<less

Davu was once a part of a family that loved him dearly. In a world of dystopian governments that have survived the horrors of the Parasitus Wars they did their best to stay together fleeing to the now United Northern Federation. But with the entire world suffering from effects of mass hysteria, rampant riots, and global law and order gone. The government has what one would expect in such pandemonium. People were separated into different classes and with Davu’s family’s status as refugees they fell into one of the lowest tiers, Destros. Discrimination and prejudice take root as hatred rips away his loved ones. Years later, Davu is doing his best to survive, hoping to... more>> win a respectable career in the Employment roulette that happens once a month after each citizen's eighteenth birthday. All his dreams of a living a comfortable life are crushed however, once exams to determine class seeds are completed. What Davu wouldn't guess, though, is that on that very same day, his life would change forever and not how he thought.

The first few chapters are set up so be patient and I promise it ramps up quickly once it kicks off.

This is a story I have been working on for years. I previously was posting it under a different account, but have since moved on from it and did immense amount of rewrites and deleted the old story. Now I am ready to reveal a (nearly) finished product. I have well over 381 pages written and will be releasing the story slowly on Royal road for free. Each chapter goes through extensive edits since its original release.

Right now I am wrapping up the ending of book 1. After that I will be starting book two drafts while RR catches up. After that I will also be focusing on my other stories which you can feel free to read though they are significantly less developed.

Hope you all enjoy.

**Schedule**

3 Chapters a Week until we catch up to all backlogged chapters. 20 chapters ahead on Pateron.

If I am feeling extra motivated extra chapters will be released per my discretion. Every 5 reviews an extra will be slated for release <<less
