A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…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.

"Ah, but you're the sole disciple of the just Immortal Master, why do you pick and choose who to help?"

The story is a fanfiction created based on the mobile game Immortal Taoists, following the development of Server 87, adapted to fiction, plus a backstory. You will be able to find many names of actual in-game players in the novel (yours truly included), all of which agreed to participate in this little project.
For obvious reasons there will be deviations from the actual game in order to match an actual timeline and for the story to make sense.... more>>

Systems have descended upon the cultivation world and many heroes are likely to have one than none. The great ones above are starting to bore of the tiring games played in the countless realms. The Most Ancient One had an epiphany one day, why not have a broken sign-in system but with public announcements?... more>>

In a world where systems are common among cultivators, prodigies are overflowing. A young scholar, Liu Xun has been tasked upon to receive countless trials to rise to the pinnacle.

What is the trial you may ask? Signing in!

What is the reward? Gacha wheel!

Who is the happiest here? Of course, the great ones!

Thank you everyone for coming to read!
I would appreciate any comments or feedback.
If you really want a release schedule, I would say like 3 chapters a week at a minimum.
It is more of a xianxia with a bit of system, a bit of sign-ins, a bit of OPness, a bit of comedy, and a bit of mystery.
It is my pilot project for such a mixed bag of genres.
Who knows, maybe it will work out?
The plot moves at a so-so pace. In my opinion, my expectation is to finish Arc 1 by 60 hopefully.
The cover art is self-drawn.

It is often described as the road towards endless life. Coveted by many to reach endless time, and while some may have indeed fulfilled their wish. It was probably not important in the grand scheme of the universe, for it houses endless destinies.

Allan, a regular mortal with a mysterious father of an unknown past, spent the past 10 years learning his father's craft and experiencing the joy of youth until the brutal reality of war reached his own home. The shocking sights, moments, and secrets he finds amidst the chaos, are just the start of the path.

Even more surprises cause despair and helplessness to overlap in his mind, as his vision blinks to nothingness. A strange dark world, before a sweet voice of a girl, wakes him up.

A play of individuals of far-reaching realities forced him, involuntarily or not, to decide to walk the path of the non-ordinary, while he must try to remain himself, for his beliefs and promises, and most importantly, what he promised to himself.

Scheduled chapters are mostly around 2000 words. Updated at 3 PM CET and sometimes bonus chapters later.

I am mostly releasing this piece on royalroad.com with this being the second place.

What you will find here are certain things that I enjoyed after reading cultivation stories of Chinese origin.
-No harem
-Fighting whenever it is important.
-A love interest that will shape the main character.
-Pets?
-Quite a bit of dialogue and lots of character interactions. Be it the main character or the surrounding characters around him. Otherwise, there will be Past tense with 3rd person views with occasional changes
-Forging and crafting in many parts. Weapons such as spears, shafts, swords, and bare fists with some twists.
-War and military action.
-Cultivation in the later parts of the story as a mortal world is not that easygoing.
-Slower pace because of all the above.

Some comments and reviews of the pacing and grammar would be appreciated because there is no one I could share this with apart from strangers on the internet. Thank you for reading this far and I hope you will give this a try. <<less

In which a well-intentioned Earthling with all the idealism of a Disney princess decides to bring some much-needed civility to the cutthroat world of cultivation... with social media.... more>>

Long Synopsis: “Choose wisely, for choice is what makes the Cultivator.”

That was the one true maxim of this world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Where the strong flayed the weak to take what they desired. Where the heavens weaved stories on behalf of their favoured children, using all else as mere pawns for their means. For aeons unchanged did the cultivation world remain, with traditions and taboos set in stone.

But that’s ancient history.

The flickering screen showed the Red Heavens Supreme Patriarch live-streaming his Dao of the Sigma Tyrant Podcast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Vixen kickstarting the Nine-by-ninth-wave Feminism, and the Trans-cended Cisgolden Buddha hustling his Self-help pyramid scheme to his untold number of followers.

Even the Foreign Gods and Immortal Devils came down to lurk beneath the dark web 24/7, illegally trading pirated video-game mods and contraband mp4 files for the newest fad Crypto-spirit stone.

Finally, deciding enough was enough, the mortals rose up, armed in all-caps, and cancelled every cultivator online for even the slightest microaggression, triggering the conservative heavens to bend the knee, or be demonetised.

When he was but a mortal, Yung—previously Jung—a soul adrift from a far gentler world- had merely asked this innocent question: “Is such cruelty truly necessary?”

“No!” He judged; his modern sensibilities would not allow it. In a world where he could cultivate to be anything, he chose to be kind. Thus, standing upon the shoulders of all the great thinkers of Earth, and with the help of his rich foxy sweetheart, he had set out with a dream to make the heavens merciful.

But alas, lady fate was fickle after all.

Yung turned the television off with a confused, ashamed, and profoundly remorseful heart.

He had achieved his dreams. But at what cost?

Disclaimer: This fiction may contain descriptions of explicit sexual (and erotic) acts, long character arcs, philosophical discourses, irrationality over logic, partisan idealism, and other adult themes, all towards being a hopefully gratifying (fun) and emotion-packed story.

Blurb:
Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course.

Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him.

Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever).

The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it.

FAQ:

The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point).

The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea.

There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla.

I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life.

I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft.

I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer.

I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. <<less

Since obtaining the system, Yang Xuan's goals have been very clear. As someone who absolutely loves watching movies, it's an obligation for Yang Xuan to make up for the regrets within those movies. Of course, Yang Xuan enjoys freedom and dislikes being tied down by other matters.
