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>>

What to Expect:
- JN Light Novel Inspired: This story is my native English speaker 'take' on the JN Light Novel.
- Gradual Start: Chapters 1-9 develop the world / characters / rules of the System.
- Rapid Evolution: Chapter 10 and onward the story gets much darker as Echo evolves.
- Custom System: LitRPG with occasional stat screens + Power-Stealing for rapid growth.
- Romance Elements: There's an MC and Side Character straight romance. LGBTQ+ representation is present. All sexual content is strictly 'fade to black'. Nothing explicit.
- Point-of-View Swaps: The story is primarily told from Echo's POV, but there are well-marked breaks to pivot to his party, side-characters, and villains.

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

* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

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.

So it came to pass that the Demon Lord was felled.... more>>

As light triumphed over darkness, humanity rejoiced at their hard-fought victory. Yet still, shadows lingered. Though felled, the Demon Lord could never truly be slain.

Long had the seeds been planted, the soul fragments of the Demon Lord planted within chosen vessels. With the Demon Lord's death as the signal, the vessels began to awaken one by one, their soul fragments drawn towards one another, seeking to reunite.

Against one another, the vessels shall fight, evolve, and devour one another's souls until only one remains. Through battle shall a new Demon Lord be born, more powerful than the last.

Theodore, a ten years old orphan child in the humble town of Eastcliff, was one of the chosen vessels. Dreading his destiny as one of the Demon Lord's reincarnations, he carried on his peaceful life. However, during one fateful incident, when he was seen wielding powerful healing magic to save a loved one, his true identity came under scrutiny.

Before Theodore could even come to terms with his accursed fate, his battle for survival had already begun. <<less

What happens after we die? Apparently we are shipped off to market to be reincarnated. In my case, I lucked out. I’ve been chosen to act as a beta tester for a whole artificial copy of the World of Warcraft, equipped with a moderately accelerated ability to learn magic and a collection of amulets that could condition their wearers to love me. No leveling, but I’ve got everything I need if I don’t do anything too stupid. ... more>>

Heavy on brainwashing, heavy on scheming, heavy on plot, modest on smut, and with far too many characters and far too many chapters, I proudly present this offering unto you, good reader.

Based in the World of Warcraft and drawing heavily from SwiftRosenthal’s Waifu catalog, this is a harem building, mind control heavy, extremely nerdy story that I started on and it just got really out of hand.

Note: I include the smut and gender bender tags for the sake of completion. They are in the story but they are only rarely the focus. <<less

Note: Because there're so many complaints of the readers who said to me that they couldn't read my book because of bad grammar so from now on.

I'll start to rewrite my novel from chapters 1 - 28 because I saw those chapters have the worst grammar, have done rewrote 10 chapters, 18 chapters to go!

The chapters above those ones have been written better when I started changing the way I write.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy reading my novel, sorry for the inconvenience that you have gone through while reading! <<less

In a little thing we like to call the game of life some people get lucky, but this person wasn’t one of them.

“The game of life is a fun little thing where you are lucky or unlucky, try to change your destiny in this game and it may come back to bite. So don’t screw around.” This was something Kismo was told in the start of her new life, she was told this by countless people after escaping slavery right after she fell into this world, and she took that advice to heart.

Because in a world with islands floating in the sky having been separated from the ground below for countless generations with wars at sea or even in the sky, our MC will find herself in many dangerous and peculiar situations!

Cyrene desperately needed friends, the elf maiden and the Orc needed friends......with benefits.... more>>

Intelligent, elegant and hailed as a prodigy since childhood, Cyrene shuns social engagements. Between her responsibilities at the Mages Collective, teaching at the academy and her own transition, romance is the last thing to occupy her mind, and certainly never with the likes of a prissy High-elf and a stubborn Orc.

Antilorwe, the High-elf, starting from humble origins, has amassed enough wealth to gain herself a place in the city council, to own lavish manors and country estates to her name while hiding a scandalous secret. So when she offered to entertain the innocent Mage and the Orc High-Lady for a weekend to discuss ongoing council affairs, negotiation was not the only thing she had in mind.

Urganza, the recent Overlord of the orcs, is under pressure -- to take a consort, whether her heart wills it or not. She would rather not, for deep within the battle-hardened Lady beats a fragile heart, still healing from the rejection of the androgynous mage she loved -- one she could not simply forget -- except when staring at the raven-haired beauty before her. For her might have set butterflies fluttering in her tummy, but the girl simply took her breath away.

All three, bound to each other by fate or alcohol-aided bad choices, while shadowy forces conspire against them. Will they forge an unbreakable bond, or is it too far late even to try?

=========Author Remarks==============

What the story has:
* Copious amounts of sex.
* A polyamourous FFF couple.
* Fairly long chapters, (approx 3-4k words each)
* slow progression with emotional pacing.

What the story will not have:
* No power levelling or OP protags.
* No lewd hand-holding or head pats (slightly more mature that way)

=====Release Info=======
Release on tuesdays and Fridays usually.

Additional Info:
All three characters are from my other story and even though there might be the occasional references to events and characters, they play a minor significant role in plot advancement. The story in its present form can be enjoyed without reading my other story. <<less

The story has been taken down for publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested, you can read them here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Blood-Demons-Retirement/dp/B0BXYJB2MJ/... more>>

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.
