…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.

Pangaea is the main continent on Earth, well the Earth I was reborn into. Me? I am Rick Lee, a Eurasian. I was just living my life like every other Highschool student cramming for University exams, until I turned 18 then it happened.... more>>

I received a System that granted me skills I apparently picked in my past life, that I don't remember even picking. Then the System gave me the Middle-Gold-Finger and left my life forever.

Now with knowledge I never imagined, how can I change my sad life around? Make money? Get revenge for bullying? Find some lovers? Become powerful? I don't know, but knowledge is only knowledge, and I still need to fend for myself.

This is not a Fan-Fiction, so don't worry about anything belonging to anyone but the Pictures I take off the internet, he-he, I am no artist. Enjoy! <<less

I would do anything to heal my granddaughter, including selling my soul. So, when a woman professing herself to be a fallen goddess appears promising to offer that exact deal to me, I ultimately accept despite my misgivings.... more>>

The woman tells me I have accidentally re-discovered a special meditation technique known as "Key to the Void." A powerful meditation capable of opening the barrier that separates the world from the void and accessing power from outside the world. But, in death, it can even allow souls to pass into the void, and she wishes to escape this world and needs me to open the way for her.

However, when my soul reincarnates into the other world, I discover several things have gone wrong. Me and her were not the only souls to cross over. There were several other former humans who were reborn here. But, more disturbingly, it seems there is also an earth-born demon here. What's more, the fallen goddess who hitched a ride with me was reborn as my twin sister.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is a hard reboot of my previous series, "Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess." You will notice some fairly big changes to this version right from the very beginning. Readers of my previous series should see the list of changes in the forward chapter (of which the name change from Aerien and Gaerien is just the beginning.) Those who have never encountered my previous series can feel free to skip the forward.

I am now going to begin uploading this series to other platforms, including Royal Road as of 4/16/21. <<less

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

Megacles has a pretty good life. Also, she is horny, lonely, bored, anxious, and a bit of a drunk. She decides to fix all this with science. It works okay, until she accidentally builds a doomsday device. At least she’s not bored anymore.

Super Science and Fast Romance is a near future, science fiction, romantic comedy, political psychodrama. It’s fun. It teaches how to fix everyday problems with lasers, evil robots, and mass hallucinations. These solutions work really well. Only a couple people die.

Any money made by this book will be spent on drugs and super hot lasers. <<less

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: “Rothester” is discontinued and has been cannibalized to rewrite it into a hopefully better version called “Gateway Eureka”

A collection of Sci-fi short stories created by a schizophrenic engineer, packed with anxieties about the coming future.

Two is company, three is a crowd. Nine is a cult.... more>>

Having to fight a duel to the death at the start of my first day on the job was a new one for me.

Waking up with no memory was also odd. I think. But neither of those came close to the absurdity of having beautiful and deadly women ready and eager to kill for me.

What I need from them now, though, is nothing special. I just need them to teach me how to lead a cult of assassins. No big deal.

It's a novel based on a dream that I had one time (Just a warning, it has a fairly slow start. It's a biography... more>> of my life up to a certain age with fantasy elements thrown in, then gradually kinda becomes trippier and trippier). I'm not sure how to define the plot. It starts with a dream about a girl living in a town conquered by demons, and the girl fighting the main demon with the help of a fox spirit. Or was it a dream after all? <<less

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>>

Waking up in a pool of blood from his desktop, he found a flintlock pistol in his hand and a suicide note that had nothing useful in it. The estate he was in was massive, and the accounting books showed that they made an incredible sum of money... Now if only he could figure out where the real one was!

Now forced to take on the role of House Lord Ashe Grayfield, the owner of brothels, gambling dens, taverns, and many other shady businesses. He can only rely on his wits and the monsters that Lord Grayfield kept as pets as a part of his sick games to try to survive in this new world, but why did the House Lord commit suicide?

With none of Ashe Grayfield's memories and a Duke knocking at his door he can only use the few bits of information he has to start an act that will become a legend.

Warning: Contains depictions of slavery, suicide, gore, sexual content, and cursing...

Terry Barclay is a directionless young man. While a talented musician, he has no prospects for a career in his isolated, country town. Fortunately, an organization called Skyfleet is recruiting, an exploratory and peacekeeping armada of flying ships. One which is manned by humans and creatures alike.... more>>

After only two years of service, he will be able to join Skyfleet's Orchestra of Lights. Though before he can get there, his path will intercept the intrigue of the greater world and its colorful characters. These include a cantankerous dwarven scientist, a radicalized socialist princess, a rock golem dreaming of being a star chef, a snarky former pirate, a mysterious priest, and a friendly queen of a hive of giant insects who also have a love for music.

As a threat from over the horizon digs into the shadows, will Skyfleet and its new recruits be able to rise to the challenge? Or will the flying armada crash and burn, taking the republic it serves down with it? The future is always up for grabs... if it speaks in half-truths.

People have many ways to define it, heroes have many ways to approach it, and criminals have many ways to defy it.
