A young, hard-bitten Dominatrix seizes the opportunity of a lifetime.

The king, the piece you cannot afford to have lost, the piece that all others are sacrificed for. But, what if the king was a fool, your typical J-RPG male protagonist with no player in control to steer him in the right direction? So mindlessly self-righteous it borders on being suicidal? Now imagine being a pawn on that board. The weakest piece that is always first to die for their king.... more>>

This is what Ver faces, a earthling who was transported in game as the tutorial boss of a academy J-RPG game. A boss that was to herald ascendant of the hero who would in the future slay the demon lord to save the world? Who was to be defeated and exiled back to his house in disgrace, never to be heard from again. At least, so far as the game story told. Rather, his true fate was to die on his way home, killed by assassins and made to look like an accident. With rain coming down, Ver closed his eyes only to be taken back to the "tutorial" scene. Regression, albeit limited to a certain number of times per "episode" of the game. If he or the hero died, Ver would regress back to the start of the "episode." Protecting his loathsome hero from demons who seek his death while dealing with the schemes of the powerful figures that walk the academy grounds, all wanting the hero.

This novel won't have a schedule necessarily considering I, the author, am a university student writing this as something to pass the time. The weight of responsibility that a schedule would put on me combined with university and work would be crushing. <<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

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.

Ever dreamed to be one of your favorite characters ? ... more>>

I woke up the day of his parents' deaths, as he floated through their funerals and got offered empty feelings from a whole lot of officials, finance’s, defense’s and government's people.

They all said it was sad, that they were sorry. It really didn't help. He knew they wanted his dad's company, his parents money, connections, and stuff. Offering him support if he ever wanted to. Said he had to live up to his father's name after his period of grief.

His sadness affected me and didn't at the same time.

Not that I didn't care about what he went through.

I had his feeling and memories of them. The guilt he felt, regrets he had.

Anger for what he found and has yet to discover.

I was confused about what to do.

About him.
About myself.
The future.
The world.

How everything could and would go wrong.

I'm in a jumbled version of the MCU.

Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options. ... more>>

Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a system that seems to have borderline sinister intentions.

Watch as Matt is dragged into a dark LITRPG set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams.

There’s a couple big influences here: Solo-Leveling, Squid Game, and Code Geass.

But be forewarned. It won’t be easy.

I'll be writing this fast, so keep in mind there's likely to be typos that we'll correct as we go. <<less
