Alex loves the gym, the stars, and his family above all else. The System arrives in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner and drags him into danger he never asked for. Now Alex has to grow strong enough to keep his family safe from whatever the tutorial throws at them, monsters, rival factions, even gods, before any of it costs him the people he loves. Alex starts off as just a common human, but within a matter of days, he becomes someone who can control thermal energy and gravity, eventually becoming powerful enough to create miniature stars in the palm of his hand.

“If this is a story worth saving, then mediocrity has truly won.” — Celestia von Reingarde * * * * * After one late-night drive ended my life, I woke inside the very first webnovel I mocked. In the pages of Tower of the End, Celestia von Reingarde was nothing more than a petty villainess, a spoiled noble girl with sharp eyes and crimson pupils, remembered only for bullying someone until the “hero,” Arthur, arrived to play the gentleman. One humiliation, and she faded away so the harem could bloom. Except now, I had become Celestia. At first, I thought I could slip away. Why should I meddle with Arthur’s destined rise? Let him climb the tower, collect his lovers, and save the world. I could just live quietly in the background. But the world disagreed. A voice seared through my mind: [Warning! Story Relevance: 3/100.] [Warning! Existence will be erased when Story Relevance reaches 0/100.] Now, obscurity meant death. What to expect: - A villainess. - A pug. - Book 1 (125,000 words) already written. Release schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday Read 40+ chapters ahead on Patreon!

Earth is dead. Adrift, remnants of humanity wandered for a new home, a new planet. They didn't find it. They now orbit a superstructure, so ancient and vast that its explorers have come to call it "A Dungeon." To keep the colony alive, it needs pilots to ferry supplies from its expansive and dangerous halls. Stefano Reyes is one of those mech pilots. But a message from his dead father has him looking for ways to get to the last floor, further than any other species has ever dared gone. But getting to the last floor means fighting beings larger than buildings for the equipment he needs to get strong enough to overcome its challenges. The Dungeon has only ever taken from the countless species and civilizations from before. So how will it give him the answers he needs?

The main protagonist is unable to die. They can be captured and sealed away, but they cannot die. Do not read if you want the protagonist to be able to die. Death is an inevitability for all except Aria. Something she knows all too well. In a world locked in war, with the majority of its continents already wiped out before the signing of the Great Treaty banning strategic level weaponry and magic, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since she was young, she has almost forgotten what it was like to not be at war. But when a strange looking screen similar to those of the newly created devices known as computers appears in front of every last person on the planet, things change. Every human on the planet is given a class and a way to level their class. Given a new way to power outside of just their natural-born abilities. But along with the power comes the invaders. Humans from another world declaring war on their world, trying to take it for their own. Now, after ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out of the war. One that involves even more fighting. How will the world react to the changes, to the invaders, and to the power granted to them? And how will the only True Immortal in the universe, one dubbed by the System as Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse despite the irony, choose to proceed? Join Aria as she figures that out for herself. What to expect: ~ A relatively laid back true immortal protagonist who cannot die. ~ Written mostly in first person Point of View. ~ The first world in the series with a level of technology equivalent to the 1950s. ~ A world where people have a chance to be born with an ability. ~ The world suddenly being initiated into a System upon the invasion of another world's people. ~ No romance. ~ Guns used as weapons in this story instead of just being dropped like many LitRPGs do. ~ A protagonist who travels across a lot of worlds in their immortal life, slowly growing stronger throughout it with lots of time skips. ~ Book 1 is largely introductory into the universe and characters with book 2 truly getting into what the story will be like. Chapters are generally between 1.4-2.3k words. The first chapters will be even longer. And there are currently about two chapters a week.

Tinea...had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties. It didn't teach her much else. So she'd ran. Crossed an ocean, grown up, and discovered the world. She'd made her life her own. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, she'd fought to be happy. Until the rabid aliens invaded her neighborhood. Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, she'd made a life-ending choice...and was rewarded beyond her wildest dreams. Or, perhaps exactly to her wildest dreams; d reams of a chrysalis, come to life through DNA-changing Vanguard science. Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection, for togetherness. It just so happens, an opportunity lies not far. What to expect: Plot is discovered, not designed. Consequences shape events, rather than scenes being designed to push plot. Characters, relationships, and setting are particularly strong, plot can get WILD in amazing, unexpected ways . - A serious approach to transforming male to female, using sci-fi DNA morphing. Tinea starts out as Aden, but quickly gains his wishes. - Maturity from both leads - WLW/GL/Sapphic: from the soft and cuddly, to the (clearly marked) explicit - Gratuitous violence against unthinking aliens - Get points, buy gear - Cybernetic upgrades - Organic augmentations - Occasional slowburn sections - Many, many chapters This work is set in the universe of RavensDagger's Stray Cat Strut , but it ISN'T necessary to read that first. Further, Tinea and Leah has been recognized officially as canon by master Raven himself. Cheers! I develop my own plot and characters. Thank you for reading. :) The cover art was drawn for me by Jero , who can be found on my Discord server - links in each chapter. Royalroad staff has designated this story as Original so that I may post my Ko-Fi link in the chapters. TnL is still a fanfiction-slash-extended-universe-slash-canon-thing for Stray Cat Strut, regardless of the "Original" tag. :)

A Low-Stakes, Cozy, Slice-Of-Life World-Hopping Adventure John, a 37-year-old widower, is feeling lost. Grief, regrets, and the weight of the past push him to long for something new, something different. So when he finds a way to travel between worlds through dimensional Gates, he takes it. Some research, a bit of training, and he’s off. Sure, his class has the potential to be overpowered, but he’s not in it for fights, fame, or power, and truth be told, he's not hero material. He’s here to breathe again. To heal. To see what else is out there in the multiverse. He moves at his own pace, helps out when he feels like it—sometimes as a healer, sometimes as something else—and keeps track of it all in a kind of diary. It’s more about the journey than the destination. About magic, new places, and figuring out how to live again. This isn’t some dark, gritty tale full of battles or world-ending stakes. It’s about traveling with friends. Awkward conversations, good food, learning magic, and way too much shopping. It’s about the little things that make life worth it—and how even small actions can sometimes ripple out with a butterfly effect. Scattered throughout the story are short side stories. Glimpses into other worlds, other travelers, or the consequences of his choices. They all circle back eventually, adding layers to John’s path and filling in the bigger picture. This is a different kind of LitRPG. It’s slower paced, written in a semi-journal style, and focuses just as much on the inner journey as it does on the outer one. Big parts of the story happen on Earth, before he leaves, and when he occasionally comes back. Pictures generated by AI accompany the story. Or, to put it in John’s words, “Traveling without taking pictures is a travesty.” Starting with Book Two, songs are also woven into the story, created with SUNO AI. So kick back, grab a coffee or a snack, and take a break from reality. Join John, the Gate Traveler, on a never-ending vacation. Release Schedule: New chapters every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, no later than 6:00 PM GMT+3. Comments and corrections are welcome and appreciated. I always want to hear what you think😊.

When Abe Dolan trains, time stops. Rain hangs in midair. The city goes silent. He can work for as long as his body holds, and when he stops, no time has passed at all. His Talent is worthless in a fight. Touch anything and the stillness shatters. It gives him one thing: hours. Unlimited, unwitnessed hours, in a world that buys power by the trained hour. The heirs of the great houses arrive with coaches, techniques, and money. Abe arrives with every hour he is willing to pay for. The hours are real. His body lives each one. Every frozen hour is an hour off his own life. The ladder never ends. Abe is going to climb it anyway, one stolen hour at a time. What to expect: - A time-stop training cheat squeezed hard - Numbers, stats, and lots of dopamine - Well-developed characters, not just suck-ups to Abe - No harem, no romance Releasing 2 chapters every day. 20 advanced chapters available on my Patreon.

The 450th year of the Dark Age. Deep winter. Humanity is losing the war. To the brutal, green-skinned Orcs, humans are nothing more than slaves and livestock. Soren, a former Special Forces drill instructor in his past life, wakes up in the body of a lowly recruit in the Silver Moon Kingdom’s Red Moon Knights. His current situation? Abandoned at the very edge of the frontline: The Misty Swamp. It’s a death trap of toxic miasma, treacherous bogs, and magical beasts. His only assets are twenty-five demoralized, half-starved recruits. His enemy? The Orcish Alliance—a hundred-thousand-strong horde backed by shamanic magic and heavy siege engines. To make matters worse, the kingdom’s corrupt nobles are secretly colluding with the enemy, and his so-called allies are just waiting to stab him in the back. It is an absolute dead-end. A guaranteed game over. But then Soren awakens the [Warlord System]. Stripping away the naive, outdated chivalry of this era, he introduces this brutal fantasy world to something far more terrifying: modern Special Forces physical conditioning, ironclad discipline, and asymmetric warfare. No troops? He recruits rebellious peasants, wrongfully exiled criminals, gladiators on death row, and even the vassal Goblins that the Orcs use as emergency rations. Under his banner, they are forged into warriors. No gear or logistics? Night raids, poison, and ambushes become his bread and butter. He hijacks the Orcs' supply lines, builds his own foundries, and cultivates high-yield, blight-resistant crops to feed his growing army. No talent? With the System's ability to perceive hidden potentials, he unearths diamonds in the rough: a peerless sharpshooter, an ascetic monk possessing iron-body arts, a vengeful mage commander... All drawn to his cause. When the Orcish Alliance finally realizes something is wrong and dispatches an army to crush this minor nuisance... they are met with absolute horror. They aren't facing a ragged band of stragglers. They are facing a heavily fortified stronghold bristling with trebuchets and heavy repeating crossbows. Waiting for them are heavy infantry capable of crushing Orcs in melee; highly mobile Wolf Riders; a disciplined Phalanx of pikemen; longbowmen who can pierce heavy armor... and artillery-like mages unleashing elemental fury! Soren's goal is no longer just surviving the Orcish Alliance. His eyes are set on the conquest of the entire continent of Ayresia. What to Expect: Kingdom Building & Management: Building a territory from absolute zero. Absorbing multi-race refugees with a detailed focus on logistics, agricultural development, and climbing the tech tree. Army Progression: Deep tactical troop compositions (Phalanxes, Longbowmen, Repeating Crossbows, Wolf Riders, Scouts) combined with brutal, modern military training regimens. Ruthless, Pragmatic MC: A highly intelligent protagonist who calculates every move. No naive mercy or pacifism. He uses terrain, psychological warfare, and spec-ops tactics to win against overwhelming odds. Talent Scouting: Uncovering hidden gems in the rough and assembling an all-star roster of generals and specialists. Grimdark, Low-Magic Combat: Visceral, bloody cold-weapon clashes where formations, morale, and supply lines matter just as much as individual strength. System as a Tool: A System element that acts as an analytical and progression aid rather than an overpowered, hand-holding crutch. …… Want to read ahead?

Protect my sister. That’s all that ever mattered to me. Come hell or high water, I’d do anything if it meant my sweet little sister could have just one more day of a peaceful life. Anything . There was just one issue—I was burning the candle at both ends. Between my double-life as a villainous Anarch and a member of the heroic Guardians, my days were becoming more and more chaotic. That wasn’t even the worst part. I hadn’t gotten to the anomalies yet. Every day was a balancing act just to keep breathing. Lying to my friends, hunting monsters, and keeping my sister smiling—it was tiring enough just trying to fall asleep, let alone everything else. I didn’t have a choice, though. Never really did. If I played my cards just right, a better life might just be in sight. — — — The cute cover’s a lie. Mind the warnings. What to expect: -Exhausted wolfgirl MC -Trauma/Healing and character focused drama -Long story/Sprawling universe(this is going to be a long, long story) -Weak to strong -Fluffiness, darkness, and occasional humor(oh my!) -Mystery(or a lack of obvious explanations. You might have to use your brain)

The Fifth Integration begins. Descending upon Earth and the Fifth Universe as a whole, an infantile System attempts to do as it has every time before and bring the inhabitants into line. Yet, for the first time since the beginning of its history, the System faces not only resistance, but an equal as the Fifth Universe begins to fight back. Waking up something that should never have been, the System damns many inhabitants of the new universe as they are pulled into the hellish parasitic reality that resided silently beneath their feet all along. Now trapped in what a strange disembodied voice calls “Floor 0, The Nothing,” Aaron must fight his way free of cannibals, aliens, and what arguably might be called angels, all while battling for control over his body against the corrupting power grafted onto him. The System sings to him from the skies above. But the Underworld beckons him into the depths below. What to expect: -This is a GRIMDARK! People die horribly and sometimes suffer fates worse than death; the world at large is incredibly brutal, with depictions of sensitive or traumatic topics. Despite that, I won’t just cause pain in the story to cause pain- everything has a time and a place. -Takes light inspiration from Dark Souls, if only as the atmosphere I aim for. -Lots of action with a heavy focus on exploration. -Starts off slow magic-wise to gradually introduce the reader to the power system, so as not to be overwhelming. -I try to stick close to reality or a believable outcome, but ultimately will sacrifice believability for a better story if required! A story should be interesting to read. -MC isn't perfect, but he tries his best in a cruel world. -Dungeon crawler. -System Apocalypse, but less focus on Earth itself and more on the effects this had on the wider universe. About 1 chapter a week for now due to unstable living situation.

Fifteen-year-old Keth survived a breach that should have killed him. The scar runs from his lip to his ribs. His speech is broken. His brother Elian walks away from monsters unharmed, and the monsters let him. The Black Census wants Elian. The creatures beyond the wall recognize him. And something inside him is growing, replacing him piece by piece. Keth has one job: be the wall. Stand between his brother and everything that wants him. He is not strong enough. He knows this. He's going to do it anyway.

In a world where every person’s race is determined at adulthood by the mana within them, Lyra was never supposed to survive. Raised alone in a dying mountain town, she spent years living off a forbidden fruit that permanently increases mana—fruit so foul and dangerous that most people abandoned it generations ago. By the time her Becoming arrives, the System itself begins to fail trying to classify her. Human. Elf. Demon. None of them fit. For the first time in recorded history, a new race is born. Now marked as an Aetherborn, Lyra is pulled into a world that suddenly cares far too much about a girl it ignored for years. Powerful kingdoms, ancient prejudices, ambitious nobles, and the remnants of an old curse all begin turning toward her existence. But while the world sees a threat, a weapon, or a miracle, Lyra is just trying to understand what she has become. And whether she’s finally allowed to have a family. A progression fantasy/LitRPG featuring meaningful stat growth, racial evolution, mana-based magic, found family, academy arcs, and a protagonist whose existence may change the world itself. ------ What to expect: Updates every Monday, on average 2,000 words. Slow-burn, slice-of-life progression fantasy with an OP-ish MC learning to live in a dangerous sword-and-sorcery world.

An unstoppable empire meets an immovable man. Magic portals open up all over the world, and Malachi loses everything to them. Each new rift brings monsters and magic wielders. It’s a war against Earth—and Earth is losing. But Malachi’s got a home to defend, a missing sister to find, and a chip on his shoulder. When an operation goes wrong, he finds himself trapped on the other side of a new kind of portal, facing certain death. But with danger comes opportunity. He gains the System the invaders' magic comes from, letting him grow in power: classes, magic, enchanted weapons and armor, abilities that can be merged, and secret knowledge. Malachi faces deadly foes in the realms beyond the portals, but also allies. Monstrous humanoids who are willing to help turn the tide against the invading empire, who will delve dungeons, travel the realms, and fight to save what they care about most. People like him who refuse to give up. The odds are impossible, but if there’s one thing Malachi has, it’s tenacity. The empire will break before he does. Update Schedule : Rapid release during launch, then 3/week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) as long as I can! What to expect : - Portal Apocalypse - Mixing sysapoc, portal break, and isekai elements - Not your typical System - LitRPG-lite progression - Exploration of strange worlds and ancient mysteries - A fighter/tank MC and party combat - Skill merging Cover art by Leekent at Kart Studio. The book is exclusively on Royal Road and Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, it’s stolen.

One party, four hidden identities. You should have an easy time when you find yourself in a game world that you helped create. But the game wasn't finished when Amberlin died, and so much has changed. That hasn't stopped her from making some new friends, though she's afraid she'll lose them if they ever find out she's an immortal otherworlder. And her friends aren't so normal themselves. Her apprentice might be better at magic than he lets on. Her cat always happens to be there first when they come across a dead dragon. And the young girl with the horns has more assassins coming after her than a typical orphan should. Everyone in this party has deep secrets, and they all believe they're the only one. There are also signs of sinister forces coming together to unseal the Demon Supreme. But why worry about something that's supposed to be impossible? What to expect: - Hidden identities and shenanigans out the wazoo - OP MC, archmage, and cat - Fallen princess goes from weak to strong (appears from Chapter 26) - Progression in fame and infamy - Only MC is exempt from the system - Multiple POVs (including the cat's sometimes) Inspirations from: - The Eminence in Shadow - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Wizardry 8 - The Faraway Paladin Updates Mon-Wed-Fri Cover art by MA Sayurii.

The world’s evolving. The System is waking up. And it already sees Alexander as a threat. Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own. Except for the aliens. And the superhumans. He's looking forward to meeting an alien. Supes? Not so much. See, somehow he’s become a villain. Worse, he’s put together a supervillain team. And now every superhero and bounty hunter in the country is after him. But at least he’s made some damn good friends along the way. Besides, what’s the point of having superpowers if you don’t intend to do something with them? It’s a world where the rich and powerful get away with murder, and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys. Alexander’s going to change that, no matter the cost. And at the center of all the madness is something no one truly understands: A System, still being born. Shaped by humanity's hopes and dreams. Greed and ambition. Not to mention the desperation. And it doesn't just want this world. It wants all of them. What to expect: From weak to strong to godlike; a relentless climb in power and mastery An antagonistic System slowly expanding its reach, seeking to control all things Slow-burn reveals with Multiversal stakes, and layers of mystery to unravel Gritty, character-driven progression fantasy in a soft sci-fi universe A sharp, tactical protagonist growing into his role while bending the System to his will Superpowers, cybernetics, starships, and magic Found family, morally grey decisions, and the cost of ambition Frequent updates: Monday to Friday

Logan was set to enjoy an early retirement. Instead, he died when Earth was torn apart by a monstrous entity. Through divine intervention, humanity is resurrected in another world. Armed with a Craftsman class, Logan fights to build a new life alongside his fellow HOA members. They must contend with the guilds that control trade here, hoarding knowledge like a dragon's gold, all while under the rule of a corrupt duke. Fortunately for Logan, he doesn’t need them. He spent the last fifteen years devouring crafting tutorials. Leatherworking, smithing, Turkish parchment making, Japanese paper umbrellas- you name it, he’s seen it. And with every point of Wisdom granted by his class, those lessons come back a little clearer. In fact, he has a whole guide to surviving the end of the world. He just needs to write the damn thing. What to expect: ⚒ Crafting Focused LitRPG ⚒ City Building ⚒ Cozy Slice-of-life mixed with Adventure ⚒ Old Friends and Found Family ⚒ No Romance

Every time Kara tries to progress, the System changes him a little. So he stopped climbing. He was fourteen, registered G-grade Tier 2, and stronger than anyone had been allowed to see. He trained in isolation. He walked away from fights he could win. Kids his age stopped sitting near him a long time ago. His family moved on from one community to the next, and somewhere in there he got very good at looking like no one. Then a storm nobody forecast drags him under, and he wakes on an island that appears on no chart, where something ancient has been waiting a very long time. When he returns, his family is gone. His brother's name is attached to something terrible. And every answer he needs sits at a Grade he can only reach by letting the thing he's spent his whole life refusing finish what it started. There's an egg in his pocket that keeps getting bigger, a coral city on the ocean floor that has already told him to leave, and no version of finding his brother that lets Kara go on being nobody. So he stops hiding. What to expect: - Progression tied to a system based on our own solar system, 12000+ years in the future - A beast bond built over months, starting from an egg that fits in one hand - Dungeons, faction politics, unique human and beast evolutions and a university grown inside a coral city on the seabed - New chapters 1x a day for the first month, then 5x a week

The Kingdom Must Grow. Prince Tavian has found the one thing powerful enough to save his father’s failing kingdom: A Legendary Kingdom Core . But the king refuses to use it, telling him to lock it away. Instead, Tavian steals it and walks straight into a bloody coup. In a system where controlling territory makes you stronger, Tavian starts with nothing but the salvaged remains of his father’s house—pages, cooks, gardeners, and a handful of loyal soldiers. Traitors within. Enemies without. Darkness festering in the dungeon below his feet. Tavian will get the chance to prove that he was born to lead. But what—or who—will he have to sacrifice to rebuild his kingdom? What to expect: ⬣ Kingdom Building System ⬣ Hexagons ⬣ LitRPG Elements of Kingdom Building: ⬣ Warfare with large scale logistics and small scale tactics ⬣ Nobles and politics ⬣ City management ⬣ Base building ⬣ Economics ⬣ Heroic personal achievement What not to expect: - This is not a cozy book - There is no harem Already read Land Grab: Vallor? This book takes place in the same world, but it follows a new cast in a new corner of the planet.

Tabitha Diaz fits in, wherever she winds up. Even when that wherever is another world entirely. "Wear the mask long enough and you become the mask," isn't scary for the mask... *** NOTE: If you are not an Adult or not interested in reading about people dealing maturely (sometimes not so maturely) with Adult issues, please go read Blank or Iron Angel . The former is YA, the latter might as well be. ALSO: While I didn't have a particular goal (other than writing daily) when I started the Diary, my initial thought was Isekai Action Adventure. Unfortunately, I am incapable of writing to spec, and as Shipgirl said, "congratulations, dear, you've written a Romance". So expect a lot of talking about feelings and relationships. *** What To Expect: OP MC who is far too clueless to realize how OP she is. Slice of Life. Many Slice. Much Life. Very of. Wow. Humor so stupid it makes the MC look smart, if that's even possible. WLWLW Romance between two Bi Women and their Tiger-Woman Maid, with far more content about post-connection living and loving than 'will they / won't they' faffing about. POLY Romance in a non-heteronormative society. In case WLWLW with three Ws instead of two wasn't clear. Slow Burn everything , because each IRL day covers one day in the MC's life. More or less. Weak to Slightly Less Weak Moral Compass Progression Occasional over the top threats when MCs family is threatened. Occasional bouts of even-further-over-the-top violence when MCs family member(s) are harmed. Frequent Food Porn, because Young Adult Olympic Tier Athletes Eat Much Food. Unusual yet Not Entirely Off-Brand Versions of Semi-Familiar European Deities. Limited LitRPG elements, because this is my first LitRPG fiction and I didn't want to lean on those and screw it up. Whatever else Tabitha decides to get up to when she gets a wild hair up her butt. Oh. Profanity. Tons of profanity. Sometimes creative. Often grammatically incorrect and teleologically improbable. You have been warned. "Sir! Tabitha's thirsty again!" "Bring out the horny bat." "We tried that, Sir! Her thirst is too powerful! The bat broke!" "My god, man, throw some Maenads at her or something!" "Oh, no! They're all Reveling, and she's Just Gotten Thirstier!"
