An accident transports Riley from the insides of her car to a strange spaceship with six other people who had also coincidentally died at the same time. The seven of them get to know one another and spend a good amount of time in the spaceship which once seemed like hell but had become a Utopia. ... more>>

Suddenly a message appears in the spaceship from a being who calls themselves the AXIS. The being demands that they all be sent to a planet called Aquilora Prime so that they could tame it and stabilize the place and subsequently, rule it. They all agree to the task and are sent down to the planet.

There's just one problem, when Riley is sent down, she is reborn as the daughter of an infamous minor Lord of an isolated Archipelago. The great war that almost tore the planet was won due to the seven great heroes. It was ten thousand years ago. Her friends in the spaceship now rule as gods over the Planet. One rules as emperor over all. One is missing and One is dead.

Riley makes it her mission to find out what happened in all that time she was gone. <<less

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun."... more>>

And in that moment, everything changed.

...

"Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief.

...

"The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective."

...

“You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.”

...

"Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest."

...

In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths.

...

Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over.

...

Did the fact he didn't fight on the front lines mean he was a coward? The reality was he really wished he could. How could he not crave the adrenaline of wielding superhuman strength, of shouting as he faced insurmountable odds? He wished he had magic, he wished he could level up and be respected by friends and foes alike. He wished for it a lot. Fuck, he wished he still had his other eye and his arm. But reality was cruel; he was dealt a bad hand and had to make the most of it. He made his choices, his sacrifices, for the best outcome.

NOTE:
Everything in the novel is subject to change, this is a bare bones run that does have cringey points and unrefined pieces in story and grammar. I'm learning how to be an author and WILL go back and fix every chapter at some point. That'll probably be closer towards the end though which is quite far out, so please, if you decide to give it a read, keep that thought in mind. Also, feedback is appreciated 🙏 <<less

Trial Zone: Death World. Difficulty: Ultimate. How am I supposed to fix the Multiverse when I can’t even survive the tutorial?... more>>

Abducted by the government. Forced to enter data into an old computer. When the command prompt came up Felix pressed it. [EXECUTE]. Time froze, and he was ripped out of his Universe by the System. Given the title of Versewalker by an Observer, and a fallen angel as a constant companion, he has only three tasks: travel the Multiverse solving Crises, level up, and get back home to save his reality.

What to Expect:

+ Weak to Strong MC with custom RPG systems.
+ LitRPG System Screens of excellent quality.
+ A blend of science-fiction and fantasy elements.
+ Multiple Universes, Cultures, and Settings.
+ Dungeoneering and Loot.
+ Lite kingdom building and kingdom management.
+ Unique companions gathered from across the Multiverse.

Notes on Tags:
+ Subsequent Volumes will have different Universes which, by their nature, will touch on some of the other tags.
+ There is a romance between Felix and Tinuriel. It's not a central focus and is relatively quick in development (I mean, who wouldn't want to travel the Multiverse with amazing powers?)

Wang Jun, the 20 year old young man, had to work his bones and squeeze every last drop of his sweat just to provide the food on the table on a daily basis. One day, a Game Tester ad popped up in his email, offering 100.000 Yuan up front, and directly wired to the bank account of his choice.

Intrigued by the ad, Wang Jun did some research on the company that issued the ad, Seven Worlds. Ltd. Everything seems legit, he signed the contracts, he got the money and soon he was enrolled in the program along with other Testers from around the world.

Little did he know, the game was actually a world in multiverse, made by the Goddess of Joys and Happiness, who is very fond of Earthling's Cultures, especially anything regarding Cultivation and Taoism. Novels, Comics, Movies, you name it.

Her goal was to create a Supreme Being who can surpass any Gods in the infinite multiverse, even herself.

Alas, the Goddess sent Wang Jun's soul into the world and gave him the path that must be fulfilled. The Path Of Villain!

Nothing could be worse than being trapped in an urban office hellscape...... more>>

Well, except being trapped in a 'system' governed, jungle hellscape instead.

See... Calvin lived an incredibly average life. He worked at a lifestyle app company as their Senior project manager, and while the pay was nice and it had great benefits, it was a mind-numbing adventure in mediocrity. On the plus side, he got to work with his amazing best friend Amy, and went home every night to his adorable pup Freya.

Well... he did, until a 'system seed' spawned in local space and ripped him, Amy, and Freya, from their regular lives and thrust them straight into the 'System Tutorial'.

In a reality shaped by nanites, where magic is real, power is measured in levels, and slaying monsters before breakfast is just a fact of life, Calvin has one simple goal...

He and his group must learn the rules of this new system to survive the tutorial and gain power at all costs because whatever nightmare awaits them on the other side might be much, much worse than they could imagine. <<less

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.
