A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

To the.
Magus of the West,
Princess of Albion,
and High Priestess of Albion,

Amadela Clovis Krone.

Dear, my little sweet princess of the west, how have you been spring child?

As usual Here in the east we are celebrating the winter festival, it's rowdy, cheerful, and loud... very, very loud, from the smiling children with their candies in their hands and mouth, to the adults dancing gleefully with their partners. I wish you were still here to be my door answerer, hahaha.... well, duty still comes first for us Magus! So I hope you have a nice and fun winter festival there in Castle Krone with your family.

But... you know me when I write letters, so if this letter has finally fallen to your hands child, that means I have died from the hands of the Rider Cultist. I know for sure you will weep for me, mourn for me, but don’t take too long child, because the time has come to summon the last heroes, act now! quickly and swiftly, because the clock has ticked again with my death. For his return is now inevitable and our enemies too are making their moves. Summon them child, summon them for this world's fate is rested upon those heroes.

Sincerely, your great of a Magus of the East uncle,

Jan.“

Lord Protector is fantasy series following a teenage trio named Martyn Wulf, Arthur Svard, Eleanna Florens and their teacher Marie Maynard, who were summoned to a world called Lumenter by the Kingdom of Albion.

They are tasked to protect Lumenter from an old chaotic force, that previously has tried and failed to destroy Lumenter, but this trio and their teacher took a different approach on their task, rather than becoming a heroes party and venturing out to this new world, they, or more specifically, Martyn Wulf, the brain of the trio, made a deal with the King of Albion.

The deal was that Martyn, his friends, and his teacher would be protected by the Kingdom and then making Martyn as the co-ruler of Albion, where in exchange he will improve and advance Albion politically, economically, diplomatically, and maybe even technologically.

The King and his advisors accepted Martyn's offers but by doing this, he just plunge himself as well as his friends and teacher to a world of corruption, lies, betrayal, and greed.

Either way, he must play this messed up game of chest for his survival, his friends' survival, and his teacher's survival.

Book 1 now available on Kindle! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLJ46F11... more>>

Hundreds of thousands of years in the future, humanity has spread across the four known universes under the heavy-handed rule of their emperor, the Faceless One. Earth is a myth, and the idea that the incredible human population came from a single world is preposterous to nearly all but the most radicle of zealots. When society has plateaued for eons, a discovery or an invention changes everything. Treasure hunters, universe hunters, and rebels use the incredible powers Huds provide to rank up their classes and abilities. Such power, inexplicably described as simple Artifact Magic, fuels the ones who dare to use such power for their own needs or wants.

Memoryless… nameless… a man finds himself on the derelict Seeker ship Perfection, one of the few colony ships built by the empire. A one-way trip to hunt for the fabled fifth universe, such ships and the million inhabitants are rarely ever heard from again. Infested with the Faceless One's Butchers, the lost man finds companionship with treasure hunters whose loose ties to the rebellion found them in the middle of interstellar space, surrounded by the bloodthirsty, transformed colonists and crew.

A Tank, a Brawler, Mender, Weaponsmith, Swordsmith, and a Crusher find something… or someone. A mindless man with unique abilities joins their ranks as the rarest class of Hud, a Caster. A Death's Knife subclass, he proves himself a powerful tracker, assassin, and something all-around unique. As the group's leader, Marrin will never squander such a powerful resource, especially trapped, surrounded by evil. <<less

Amy Thorne has always abhorred making a scene and sticking out. Despite her best efforts in the past, in the military and in school, she's never truly been assertive, and prefers sticking to the background. Excess attention is the last thing she wants. She's perfectly fine being a non-obtrusive wallflower, or even better, a complete NEET.... more>>

Of course circumstances never leave some people alone. Even in the shadows there are those who'd force her into gainful employment. Thrust into both higher education and a job at a secretive Government agency, she seeks to get her revenge whatever way she can.

Maybe by reading the sketchy grimoires at her job?

Ashton had always been a fan of anime and manga, it was how he spent the time between his shifts managing a store selling bedroom and bathroom products. Never did he imagine that he would have his own isekai experience but his entrance into the world was jarring, to say the least. ... more>>
