Leray Series: 18/19... more>>

One world, one moment, and multiple memories collide in the minds of the few who traverse the country of Polarium. The effects of the burst have given magic to this part of the world, and triggered a bloody war in the process. Fulfilling the duties of the Leray Mitigation Agency, after 18 months of intense military training, Jane, Taylor, Danny, and Alyssa enter Polarium to join the forces of the Terracom government.

The LMA is not intending to fight a war on anyone's behalf, but rather to determine if either side contesting the land is in violation of using Leray magic to assist their war efforts, marking them as the offender in the eyes of the LMA. Whether Terracom or the Polarium Rebels are using Leray magic isn't entirely clear at a glance, and Jane is highly reluctant to get involved in this war directly. Either way, they must investigate under the guise of military support, and uncover the truth behind Scarwood's actions.

Upon arrival, something is clearly wrong; not with the war, but with Polarium itself. Jane has memories of living her life in the forests here, as well as other memories which overlap her old ones. She feels certain pressures and sadness that are clearly not her own. A particular nomenclature sticks out to her, as Jane convinces herself she might be one of the forgotten children.

She could simply be going insane, or it could be some magical effect of a spell none know about. Whatever the case, the action of the war quickly heats up against the rebels while Jane tries to uncover the mystery of the paradox inside her head. <<less

Alaric was only seven when the cult came. One moment, he was dreaming of becoming a knight with his friends. The next, his world was reduced to fire and screams.

A failed demonic summoning ritual tore through dimensional barriers, and now she's caught between cultists seeking dark power and a kingdom on the brink of political upheaval. With her summons as companions, Aliria must master her newfound abilities while uncovering the truth behind her reincarnation, before the same forces that brought her here destroy everything she's learning to protect.

As a duchess, they call me Lady Ava Ryder, and since I’m the XO officer on the Imperial flagship Malkyrion, the proper way to address me while in uniform is “Lady Commander.” I am a high-ranking officer in the Royal Lucian Navy, though if truth be told, my rank has more to do with my birth than anything else. When an emergency distress signal came from Sekai warning us that the Key which opens up a portal to the Agon homeward was stolen, the Malkyrion set out for the colony where the archaeological site is located. At the command of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, we are to retrieve the Key, but when we got... more>> to Sekai, the Agon navy was already coming through the portal.

Now we’re in a standoff and this crisis is damn hot. Just this morning the hottest thing in my life was Julian August, a Royal Lucian Knight way below my rank and noble stature. Even off the ship, we are not supposed to be sleeping together—hells, I probably shouldn’t even be on this ship during a crisis like this!

AUTHOR NOTE:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) was not and will not be used during any part of the writing on this project. I'm a writer and an artist and I have standards.

WARNING:

Lady Commander is a large epic space opera fantasy that I would like to complete, however I’m unhappy with some of the writing elements that I chose. It’s a very spicy novel and I may choose to tone down the sex, so be aware of what you’re getting into when you read this, because there are erotic scenes of a heterosexual nature. That being said, I do want to ramp up the sexy nature of the prose, particularly in character costumes and in the culture of the fantasy world. Does it make sense--of course not, but this is fantasy.

This is NOT a smut book, it is an epic space opera that has erotic scenes.

I'm also the kind of writer to throw everything and the kitchen sink into a story with massive casts of characters and constant viewpoint shifts. And I don't do a lot of hand holding for the reader, so buckle up!

I’m planning on doing some serious writing over the summer and I would like to gauge reader interest in this story. If I don’t receive much, I’ll write something else, otherwise I would like to redraft this novel, perhaps from the beginning, or maybe only key chapters and scenes, and then press onward to it’s completion.

As it is presented now, in length, I would say the novel is 10-15% complete (approximately 40,000 words, or about 100 pages.) Yes, it is planned to be a very big, epic story with a conclusive ending, but not a forever-onwards webnovel as is often the case with many stories here on Royal Road.

Please read and leave your feedback based on your interest to see more or not. I’m not looking for writer feedback, but rather READER INTEREST.

Happy reading, and I look forward to hearing from you in the comments or in my PM!

In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only Death.... more>>

Yet one man stood tall with nothing to fend against the incoming hordes of monsters but a gun and a blade.

He wasn't in the business of giving up, since he was surrounded by his plastic army of action figurines and RPG miniatures, and once he called "ARISE!", legions of Star Paladins, Men-at-Arms, and a fleet of War Mechs rose to his call.

Along with his party of war gamers, a tabletop war geek set out to reclaim Earth and rebuild his war faction in real life to save the world from the horrors beyond the Rift.

Q: What is this?
A: An RTS Crafting and Summoning LitRPG. One gamer gains the ability to turn his action figurines and war game pieces into actual people who can fight with futuristic powers.

Q: Is this what I think it is?
A: Yes, it is completely inspired by Warhammer 40K, but you can say it is the watered-down version for those who aren't willing to dip their toes in the original madness. Consider it my own take on the grim dark, combining some shenanigans from WH40K, Doom, Dune, Mad Max, Silo, Red Alert and Generals series, and other cool stuff.

Your answers are in the heart of the labyrinth…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Parents missing.... more>>

A deadbeat uncle.

A city designed to keep the low-born down.

These are the smallest of the daily challenges for Telgar Uthden. He has one goal: to get into the Elysium Academy to train and stand shoulder to shoulder with the best delvers of the Varistok Labyrinth, a sprawling nexus of dangers and a source of vast power and wealth, just below the crown city. All he needs is a summon to qualify for the academy.

But the summon he finds through a string of events is one of the most dangerous, prideful, and loud denizens of the entire labyrinth. Even worse, their summoning bond is busted, and now they must work together to survive the academy’s lessons, adversarial students who love to pick on a lowborn, and the labyrinth itself.

Telgar’s only saving grace is that he’s a freelance summoner, able to bond with more than one summon and utilize their powers in combinations that might give him the edge he needs. Too bad the only reward of survival is his 7 am lesson the next day…

What to expect:
+ A mage academy litRPG story with 80-90% from Telgar’s POV.
+ Weak to strong MC, and his allies grow in strength beside him. He’s generally good-natured but won’t mind throwing an underhanded dose of justice against adversaries.
+ Slice of life, school setting, and plenty of coming-of-age drama.
+ Dangers won’t be present every five seconds, but they are there. <<less

Deep within the churning pits of the underworld, where demons hatch like flies from eggs of ash, a soul awakens. It is an Imp—the lowest of the low. Meant to be mindless. Meant to obey. Meant to die.... more>>

Aware, but without memory, the Little Imp seeks out all it can about it's new life.

I died once as a swordsman in a world of grimoires and flying fortresses.
I died again as a humble foot soldier of peace in a magic knight's uniform.
Now, in my third life, I was expecting rest. Quiet. Retirement, maybe.... more>>

Instead?
I wake up as a 29-year-old single father of two daughters in a magic-powered modern world with a courtroom job I don’t remember applying for.

Apparently, I’m a senior prosecutor in the Royal—no, just "Central"—Magic Law Department. No nobility here. Just bureaucracy, mana cores, coffee-fueled hearings, and monsters that crawl out of interdimensional gates on Wednesdays.

And I? I’m a Rank Four Mage. Middle of the pack. Middle of the mess.
Worse, I apparently ignored my daughters for work after their mother died. Four months of silence. I don't know them. They don't really know me.

But I’ve been given this life again. So I’ll fight—not with swords or lawbooks—but with pancakes, storytime, and early morning teleport scrolls to school.

Because even if I don’t remember building this life, I damn well intend to live it right. <<less

Life felt like a perpetual downturn for me. ... more>>

Born into a struggling family in a cramped, leaky apartment, I turned to education as my escape route, only to have my dreams crushed when I lost a scholarship to a less-deserving but wealthier peer.

After dropping out of college due to financial strains, I managed a karaoke bar, hoping to improve my family's situation.

Then one night, everything changed.

Walking home, absorbed in my favorite webnovel "A Magician's Path" - a story set in a world where magic defines your status - I was struck by a car.

But instead of the end, I woke up in the very world of my webnovel, complete with a holographic screen that introduced me as Dominic Eñerforte, a 15-year-old with zero mana but off-the-charts luck and instinct.

Trapped in Sylvestria, a place where magic was everything and I had none, I realized knowing the story was my only advantage. Magic or not, I was determined to get stronger.

I had always believed hard work could change my fate, and this new world wouldn't be an exception. <<less

“The power of the devil was successfully resurrected; terror enveloped the entire city as many people continued to be sacrificed.”... more>>

_________________

Humans can get the power of the devil by swallowing a pendant obtained from a person sacrificed.

In an instant many people were forced to die; a second later the demons were successfully resurrected.

Yamile, who has inherited demonic powers since childhood, wants to stop this phenomenon. It's just that he absolutely does not want to use his strength. For him to ally with the devil is foolishness.

But fate cannot be denied. She was trapped by her younger brother to accidentally swallow the devil's pendant.

She, who was originally a tomboy, turned into someone so feminine. Now she also likes to eat flowers. For her, flowers are like tarts.

Throughout her journey against the enemy, the evolution of her power leads to the strongest SSS Demon.

But behind this terrible power lies a mystery that makes Yamile even want to end life.

My name’s Han Jihoon. High school senior. Certified anime addict.
I was just trying to finish one more episode before bed…
Next thing I know,... more>> I wake up in some crumbling ruin, surrounded by dragon bones and ancient magic.
Then I hear a voice in my head.
A system.
Its name? [YOU CAN’T HANDLE MY POWER.exe]
I wish I was kidding.
Now I’m stuck in the Dragon Realm — where humans are myths, dragons run the world, and power is everything. Somehow, this ancient system picked me, and no one else can see or hear it. Not even the Elder Dragons, though one of them took a weird liking to me and dumped me into Dragon Academy.
I’m hiding my identity, dodging death, and barely surviving combat classes where people can shoot lightning out of their eyes. But the system keeps giving me Trials — not just battles, but decisions. Sacrifices. Challenges that change who I am.
I’m not a hero. Not a chosen one.
Just a stubborn human with a system that never shuts up — and the will to fight until the very end. <<less
