Echo thought he had the perfect fresh start. Offered reincarnation into a world of swords and magic. Able to grow stronger by going on adventures. One quest gone wrong changed all of that. Lured into a trap by a sadistic, mad mage. Collapsing on the brink of death, he is captured. Subjected to the power of an artifact, reborn as a monster in human flesh. Killing other monsters, consuming their hearts, evolving - growing stronger from every foe devoured. Strong enough to survive. To get revenge. To devour even more.... more>>

The year is 1393, in The Year of the Three Sisters. In the heart of the Sea of Tyrants, the three northern island nations of Eriu, Dannebrog, and Angevin are settled in a rare time of uneasy peace. But adventure never stops. Especially not for one party of two:
Jacq the Barbarian of Rüzgâr, a bawdy brawler and a feisty fighter.
... more>> Seetha the Sword Dancer of Isyr, a sagacious swashbuckler and a refined rogue.
On the Isle of Angevin, their quest to stop an underground crime ring suddenly takes them on a dive for long lost treasure. But old and new rivals stand in the way of glory and riches—not to mention the fact that neither of them are wearing underwear for this peril. Will these scrappy, intrepid heroines be forgotten to the doom of obscurity, or will their saga rise above the noise and be spoken of by the bards for all eternity?

Following the events of the story, "Enchantyon: Knight of the Holy Faun", both Lalauri Imafenduwell and Keridwen of Khar Vell began making their way back through the Greater Wilderness to the realm that Lalauri called home: the Free Border Dominion known as, Aureate. The Gilded State.... more>>

Several hundred lifetimes ago, there was a phrase that history would later on quote Lalauri as having said several dozen times throughout Enchantyon’s history. Even in the modern era of the Arcane Age, she found herself saying it in the aftermath of her latest adventure:

“Give me a monster, and I will hack it to pieces. Show me villainy, and I will serve it with righteous annihilation.”

But instead, the Holy Faun saw fit to give her a child.

Upon their arrival in Aureate, Lalauri and Keridwen will have to face the threats and challenges that had been looming in the background while Lalauri was away. Threats that were only just barely fended off by the staff of Lalauri’s home, Imafenduwell Hall.

All the while, the warrior elf maiden and the lonely human orphan must find a way to settle in together, and in doing so are forced to come to grips with their new reality of guardian and child.

“Mox failed to keep herself under control; her breathing was getting erratic as she was torn between trying to keep her eyes on Eddie while also fighting to push and fight her way past the monsters that were still trying to subdue her. Another hard blow came from behind, and Mox staggered, tears welling up in her eyes as she came to the realization that her last resort had become unavoidable. Mortal means had failed her. Magic would now be required.”... more>>

In the Dark Province, Mox Magnusson and her best friend, Eddie Pendle, face rising tensions in their village. Never meaning to leave their home, the two find themselves viciously pulled towards the heart of a mysterious string of disappearances fuelling the division between their two peoples.

Led by a fierce and determined elven paladin named Lalauri Imafenduwell, the Paladins follow the beast to a new place where they discover an elder power at work.... more>>

However, this new threat is far greater than the werewolf that the holy knights were chasing. As a result, Lalauri must work with the others to contain it before it ushers in a new era of destruction across the Greater Wilderness and the Continent of Tesardess beyond it. But as they delve deeper into the unknown, she begins to realize that this quest of theirs will test the limits of her courage, her resolve, and their very existence.

Ken Gold, a young man from the small town of Greenwood, was living a smooth and fulfilling life. In one week, he will marry his childhood sweetheart, take over the Blacksmith Shop he has apprenticed in since young, and also turn 18. Life was perfect for this well loved young man...... more>>

[The concept is based and blended of many versions of the 1st through 3rd D&D, and 1st edition Pathfinder game, but in my own world. This is not a LitRPG numbers-story.

This story is a novelization of my webcomic of the same name, although there are extra details and scenes that are not present in the comic.

Update:
This novel was originally published as 62 chapters. Some of the shorter chapters have been consolidated to improve the pacing of the story and a separate glossary was added to replace the end-of-chapter glossaries. <<less

Every great story needs an author.... more>>

Samuel Bragg was a fairly ordinary human. He lived in a simple home, and he did simple work. Born in a fishing village on the coast, he experienced a good life. But he wanted more. So when his chance came, he leapt for it, not knowing just how much more he was about to get. With a fallen god calling to him in his dreams, and the hint of an unnatural, dark plot forming in the distance, he soon learns that the extraordinary comes with a steep cost.

The story of the legendary traveler, the all-knowing servant of the God of Knowledge, the greatest author, cartographer, and collector of magicks; the story of Samuel Bragg, is a truly extraordinary tale. But it all starts with a normal man, in a normal home, in a normal village, with a normal job.

Note: This story is a re-write of my previous trilogy (Tome of the Body, Tome of the Mind, Tome of the Soul) and will also be available on RoyalRoad and Reddit. <<less

It took over fifteen centuries for the world to recover from the cataclysm caused by the extinction of an ancient race known only as the Precursors. Since then kings and emperors have risen and fallen, but the Church of Vhirs remained a stalwart guardian of the legacy of the ancients. In this uniquely crafted realm the hoomin spread wide and far, skillful tehei construct machinery of steam and gear, and elusive tanai tirelessly push the boundaries of knowledge. It is where, when musketeers and pirates clash, arcane powers get invoked amidst the gunfire.

Aramoth is a uniquely crafted reality where supernatural elements of fantasy meet the constraints of physics and is best described as hard science fantasy.

New chapters are usually published on Saturdays. <<less

Story Notes:
This is a dark and messed-up story.

There are heavy themes such as gender-swapping, NTR, humiliation, and sex with monsters. If that doesn't sound delicious to you, don't partake! This is much more degenerate than my more vanilla TG game, X-Change Life, which you can play here: https://x-change.life/

The focus of this story is heavily on the male to female transformation of the protagonist. <<less

Isaac was a simple man living a peaceful life. He'd lost his parents when he was young, but the village took care of him and raised him as their own. So he was as content as a human being can be. But a fateful encounter with the White Queen and the Sovereign Empire had changed the course of his life in a more drastic way than he expected. He'd been forcefully appointed as a King Candidate and now his first day on the job, he is now going on a quest that's very much likely to kill him.

Vincent and Gwenevere are two people born in the world of Altha. A land of sword and magic. A place of wonder. Only, when they were children, that wonder was lost. Ripped from each other's lives, they were forced into the cruel reality of the world. Or rather, that of the Vossen Empire.... more>>

Gwenevere "Gwen" Vossen-Stone, Second Imperial Princess of the Vossen Empire could not be seen playing with Vincent Redwood, a common child born to a simple soldier. For two years, they played while his father guarded the Palace. Their relationship hidden until one unlucky day. The Imperial Princess of the Empire playing with a commoner? That couldn't happen.

Torn from each other, their lives diverged into different paths. Only reuniting 12 years later in what could only be described as fate. However, while Gwen never forgot her precious friend, Vincent was not what he was before. Gwen vowed to become stronger in order to never have anything taken from her again and to protect her friend once she reunited with him. That day was today.
-----

Come along for the story of the Princess, nicknamed "Prince" for her more masculine and tomboyish nature, and the Mage, often attributed to a doll for his more feminine and androgynous appearance making him quite pretty and beautiful. They are complete opposites in appearance, but their hearts are twinned together in fate. They just don't know it yet.

This, like Fae King's Desperation (another of my stories), is planned to not be as long as Cyber Heart or Love & Obsession, but we'll see how it goes. The romance between the two main characters doesn't happen in the first several chapters. It builds up as they discover that their feelings are more than just friendship. Once they realize it, the romance will go quicker.

There are power struggles and conflict between Gwen and the other Nobles and Royalty, but most are handled quickly due to Gwen's preparation in the last twelve years. If you're not a fan of conflicts being resolved relatively easily, then this story isn't for you. It will focus mainly on the slice of life aspects of the main characters and eventual romance, with a dash of rebellion on the side.

I hope you enjoy and thank you for coming along for the ride! <3 ^_^ I will update chapters as I am able, as I'm working on three stories simultaneously. This, Fae King's Desperation, and Regressor's Lover.

TRIGGER WARNING: There are talks and descriptions of abuse in this story. Bordering on the sexual. While the overall vibe I try and give this story is mostly fluff, tread carefully. This is a mature story.

SMUT INFO: This story will not be like my others. There will be love scenes in future chapters, but they will be more on the fluffy side rather than the hardcore descriptions I've given before. So, I'm unsure if this should be labeled as smut or not. For now, it's not, but once those chapters are released, if you want me to add the genre because you think it is considered smut, I will. <<less

Elaina Woodlock has struck out on her own for the first time and already found herself in over her head.
