Meet James, a regular junior-year university student whose only goal was to not fail any of his classes and get a decent job. One night, our protagonist overworks himself and finds himself in a "Fantasy world." He is excited to finally get power, slay dragons, and get all the hoes. But reality is much darker than he realizes; this world is nothing like the novels he read. Everything he thought he knew about fantasy is overturned. Everything he knew about friendships is broken. He is shown how cruel a fantasy world is for a sheltered 21st-century human. The only saving grace is the unknown entity in his mind that seeks to destroy everything he loves.... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> Okay, so this is my first-ever book, so please give it a try and don't judge me too harshly.

Betrayed and abandoned by the one closest to him, a slave-boy rises to become one of the most powerful men in the empire.

In a world in the midst of social, political, and technological upheaval Leo of Veni is an escaped slave whose body has been forcibly modified through years of human experimentation with a goal of bonding science and magic. Follow him as he goes on a journey of self-discovery where even he is forced to question even his own mind, body, and soul while the entire world around him sees to be conspiring to force him into a quest that will determine whether his home welcomes peace or the onset of a war more deadly than anyone dares to imagine.... more>>

(Toy Soldiers is a dark fantasy story that addresses topics of slavery, class, identity in a world contemporary to Europe at the start of the industrial revolution. While not completely plotted out, I'm following the style of better fantasy authors in constructing a world through notes, map making, and magical laws, overlaying that work with a well established real world setting and then adding our MC and seeing what happens.

Leo is an unreliable narrator to his own story but the reader will often be able to see through formatting and context clues the moments where his ability to be trusted should be questioned.

This world is a dark fantasy but will not feature sexual assault, rape, murder, or slavery being portrayed as acceptable or casual actions and and certainty never from the perspective of our protagonists. While Leo and Co aren't pure moral and upright they are fundamentally still good people and the story is about them working to maintain a desire for good and hope in the world despite the struggles and terrors they have endured to get here.)

PS: cover photo is a custom image I through together, not the cleanest edit but I hope it catches your attention.

PPS: I wasn't really sure what to pick for genres on this one. I usually have a pretty specific image in mind but on this I only really picked fantasy. Obviously more genre tags means more attention so I would appreciate people shouting out suggestions in comment sections if you pick up on something else that could be included. <<less

This time, Arthur vows to see it through, using the Ring of Reclamation to its fullest potential.

Captain Aqua of the CK-78 cruiser is a relatively new captain, with her only field experience being a simple recon mission. So imagine her surprise when she is sent into the middle of a massive battlefield with no time to prep. It didn't help that the cruiser she was given wasn't a modern one and, as such, wasn't prepped up to "modern standards". In other words, her ship is unprepared against the modern ships, her ship's guns can barely penetrate even the most basics of modern destroyers, and she has never seen actual combat.... more>>

Luckily, it seems her cruiser has one advantage. Since it hasn't been "prepped", the cruiser still has shells on board made for setting other ships on fire, something none of the newer ships have anymore. Yet, even with this questionably morale weapon at her disposal, Aqua's fear over fire may get in the way of using the weapon to survive...

....especially since she is getting the reputation of being a pyromaniac because of it. <<less

Razmyr chuckled darkly beneath his breath when their gazes met. Her fear more evident than the supposed justice she spat out cracked and broken like the window behind him.

His fingers coiled around the handle of the dagger slowly, eyes unwavering as he yanked it from his chest and placed the tip beneath her chin, forcing her head to tilt upwards. "I think I already have considering James is murdering the other girl's parents as we speak. And your father will what?"

He yanked her forth by the waist and whirled her from the door and against the wall. Portraits fell from their placements, some hanging slanted.

"He will be next. But in case you do escape. You can tell him I also did this," Razmyr's head dipped down and his lips crashed against hers, forceful, the taste of soot and ash, of hatred and death.

And then, just as quick as their mouths met, he recoiled from her and turned around towards the door.

The blade remained against her throat. "Keep walking. Take me to the other girls father's chambers."

The Characters

The king of D’treroh’s most beloved daughter is raised and trained in the arts of war. She’s soon to follow in his footsteps in abolishing piracy though she struggles to find who she is beyond everything her father has taught her. But when she is kidnapped by the infamous pirate lord of the Onyx Sea, everything she thought she knew of the world is tarnished.

A pirate whose mother was the sea and his family murdered when he was a child only to be sent to slavery, rises and challenges the system. He thinks he is a sword of justice, but in the eyes of some, he is just as ruthless as the king himself.

Banished prince of D’treroh is a reminder that his youngest sisters lost their lives too early. Day and night he blames himself, drinks, and wallows in the fact that no matter what he does, his father will never acknowledge him as heir. He does not know whether he wants his father’s acceptance or to take everything his father holds dear so he will be the only thing left his father can glimpse upon and regret before his life bleeds from his eyes and he himself becomes king.
