What does it mean to be noble? To be a Noble?... more>>

Perhaps a different ending than either ever envisioned becomes possible through that understanding.

Disclaimers:
- Short story. Story ends after a climax event. Character focused. Lore-light.
- For this short story, immersion is driven by the characters. The setting and world are only fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in third person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts written in italics.
- Content warnings: This story has some R18 content (<5k words), lots of Strong Language, and a very small amount of Gore. <<less

Title: The Parvian Sun

Listen, for I have foreseen a future dark and drear,
When the heavens weep and the earth reeks with fear,

A time when the blood soils the skies and Rain paints the land red,
When the Parvian sun rises, filling all with dread.

A time when sorrow and despair descend upon this land,
The time of the sun's fiery glare bringing our world to its end,

We cowered, we shrivelled, our hearts filled with woe,
We cry for a saviour, hiding from the evil's glow.

Mortal beings, take heed of my words and be prepared,
For the reckoning is near as fate had declared,

Ready thyself and bolster for the incoming storm,
And pray that you shall weather it with a heart that's warm,

For the future is bleak, and the end is in sight,
We beg for a being to stop the malevolent light.

The blood soils the skies and Rain paints the land red,
The Parvian sun rises, filling all with dread.

After considering some advice, I would like to inform potential readers about the kind of story they will encounter when reading this.... more>>

The story has a rather slow pacing, but it primarily serves to deepen the overall narrative. It features a psychotic MC with questionable morals and sanity. The main premise revolves around how a reader should navigate the story as the MC, rather than being a mere plot device for the convenience of the story.

It offers a fresh approach to the already established genre of isekai or reincarnation/transmigration. And one last thing, if you find that this story doesn't align with your preferences or tastes, please provide constructive criticism instead of silently giving it a low rating simply because it doesn't match your personal preferences.

Now, let's delve into the story itself:

Niu Chang reincarnates into a new world. Naturally, a favorable path is laid out for him as a reincarnator. However, unfortunately for the world, he personifies the very definition of heartlessness.

Family relations? Morality? They hold no importance to him. All that matters in the end is whether they will benefit him on his path to immortality. From the moment of his reincarnation, the world and its inhabitants are doomed to suffer many calamities. <<less

The story has been taken down for publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested, you can read them here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Blood-Demons-Retirement/dp/B0BXYJB2MJ/... more>>

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.

Everybody wants to be free from daily life, but when faced with the opportunity to achieve complete freedom, most crumble under the fear of their own limitlessness and yearn to go back to a restricted, comfortable life.... more>>

Some people, on the other hand, rise to the occasion and do everything in their power to reach freedom. Among these types of individuals, there is Akir, a psychologically tormented young man with an unusual history. After he is transported into a mysterious construct called the Ruins, he starts a ruthless journey towards true freedom, which he believes will bring him happiness.

Things don't go according to plan, though, as the trials he is put through start making him question his morality and the opinions he lives by. Eventually, his identity comes into question, and he starts to lose himself, his life goals threatening to fade into nothingness.

This is a rewrite, so there's the perk of chapters being uploaded consistently without fail, and there is no chance of the story being discontinued or anything like that. The final product is about 370 pages long. I hope you enjoy reading.

[This is a reimagining of the story The Tutorial is Too Hard by Gandara.]... more>>

On New Year's Eve, Lee Ho-Jae decides that he wants to die. The universe seems to hear him for the first time in his entire life, and just as the clock hits 00:00, a message pops up inviting him to the Tutorial. Lee Ho-Jae accepts. But at the prompt to choose the difficulty level, is there anything the former pro gamer can do but pick the very hardest--appropriately titled Hell?

And so begins Ho-Jae's true descent into Hell in every conceivable form, thrusting him into a world where pain is the currency needed to gain power, and the only ally he has is his own flesh and blood. It doesn't take much for the human mind to crack and crumble, but to build it up again is even harder. In the spiral of white madness that Ho-Jae finds himself tumbling into, will a hand reach towards him and pull him out, or will he just drag them down with them?

3 releases a week, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 EST, or 02:00 the following day CET.

This story is loosely based on the concept and story by Gandara, but is apart from the setting and name of the main character different on almost every conceivable level. You do not need to read the original story to read this, and doing so will change very little of your experience with the story. It is almost recommended not to read the original if you enjoyed this one since the original has a vastly more lighthearted tone in comparison.

Thank you, and I hope you'll enjoy the story! <<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>>

One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.
PS
First of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.
This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.
MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.
Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.
Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont... more>> get their description or even names.
Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.

Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.
But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.
So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.
Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.
This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.

So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.
Its probably the opposite.
Overall this novel is trash, but surely not the worst trash you ever read.
