At the world’s top college of magic and technology, every day brings a new discovery -and a new disaster. The advanced experiments of the college students tend to be both ambitious and apocalyptic, with the end of the world only prevented by a mysterious time loop, and a small handful of students who retain their memories. Surviving the loops was hard enough, but now, in his senior year, Vell Harlan must take charge of them, and deal with the fact that the whole world now knows his secrets. Everyone knows about Vell’s death and resurrection, along with the divine game he is a part of. Now Vell must contend with overly curious scientists and evil billionaires hungry for divine power while the daily doomsday cycle bombards him with terrorists, talking elephants, and the Grim Reaper himself -but if he can endure it all, the Last Goddess’s game promises the ultimate prize: power over life itself.

One day the Limitless Path, referred to by most simply as the Path, sweeps up Earth into its established structure. With its appearance, magic and beasts flood the world, making even a trip down the street a potentially dangerous endeavor. But with new dangers comes new opportunities, and certain people are more willing than others to seize on those new chances. Join Elizabeth "Beth" Bell on her journey to explore as many secrets of this new universe as she can. She picks a path of battles and exploration, fighting endlessly to grow and progress. She will explore countless dungeons and trials, train to master a wide variety of skills and abilities, as well as push herself to the very limit of what is possible and beyond. If you enjoy LitRPG stories with strong exploration and fighting elements, including fighting both plenty of beasts as well as tons of sapient beings, this series might be of interest to you. Combat, exploration, and discovery will be the main focuses, with splashes of romance and intrigue thrown in to keep it interesting. Finally, as a warning, there will be both graphic violence in this series as well as sexual themes and content. If either of these make you uncomfortable, this series might not be for you. Thanks for checking this page out, and I hope you enjoy this small writing project of mine.

"There will always be someone who has to do the job. That someone might as well be me." A middle-aged man living by that simple belief suddenly finds himself caught up in events that will change his life forever. Dungeons have appeared. The world is changing. And for reasons he would very much like explained, he ends up becoming a beautiful young girl. A modern fantasy featuring dungeons, monsters, guilds, and a protagonist who is far more concerned with getting things done than worrying about his new body. After all, he's an old man. The usual gender-swap panic isn't really his style. Author's Note: This is an original work by a Japanese author, translated from the Japanese web novel originally published on Shousetsuka ni Narou.

A child is born under rare celestial circumstances — a birth that should have been a blessing, but instead becomes the spark of something far greater. When a midwife makes a desperate choice to protect both mother and infant, she unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will ripple far beyond her quiet corner of the world. Across distant lands and hidden societies, strange discoveries begin to surface. Ancient secrets long buried are disturbed. Investigators, scholars, soldiers, and unseen forces find themselves drawn into a widening mystery — one that suggests the past is not what history claims, and the future may depend on a single life now lost to the shadows. As powerful figures move to control the narrative, silence the truth, and hunt down anyone who stands in their way, unlikely protectors rise. Some act out of duty. Some out of fear. Some out of compassion. All are changed by the choice to safeguard a child they barely understand. Their decisions ignite investigations, disappearances, political fractures, and the quiet beginnings of a resistance — long before the child herself can play any role. This is not the child’s story. It is the story of the people who chose to save her — and the consequences of that choice.

Waking up reincarnated in the Marvel Universe is chaotic enough. But when Rosh drops into the timeline bound to a reality-breaking Devil Fruit System, the entire MCU gets turned completely upside down. Forget standard tech and ancient magic, the supernatural powers of the Grand Line are taking over, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are trading in their classic gear for a taste of absolute chaos. Deadpool: "Look at this complexion, people! No scars, no 'avocado-having-sex-with-an-older-avocado' look. The Smooth-Smooth Fruit just gave me my boy-band face back. Watch out, fanfic writers, your favorite person to ship is officially back on the table!" Iron Man: "Jarvis, scrap the nanotech blueprints. The Arms-Arms Fruit literally turns my entire body into a living weapon, and frankly, I look way too good in it to share. Hands off, Rogers. It’s mine." Thor: "By the All-Father... this is madness! I am the God of Thunder, yet the storms he summons make Mjolnir look like a mere spark. Who...or what, is this trickery?!" Captain America: "I can do this all day, Thanos. Let's see if that purple chin of yours can withstand a full-power, continent-shattering punch from my Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Step up!" ___________________________________________________________ I didn’t create this story; I’m just translating and editing it to make it smooth, punchy, and reader-friendly for you all.

Struggling to process her grief at a life cruelly ripped away, Cara must fast adapt to her new world, its people and their expectations of her. As she befriends her small team of rescuers can she allow herself to trust that they are helping her or are they just manipulating her to expedite resolving the mystery of the shards?

[Synopsis] Immortality. Infinite power. A destiny to drift among the stars for eternity. Those who awaken these transcendent abilities are burdened with a cruel fate. They are denied even death, forced to wander the cosmos forever. They are known as the "FabL" (pronounced exactly like "Fable"). Yu Hoshimi was just an ordinary boy until he awakened as one of them. But while others gained the power to crush planets or rewrite reality, Yu’s ability seemed deceptively simple: The power to transform freely between a man and a woman. Cast into a universe of despair with only this peculiar power, Yu has no choice but to adapt. Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman. Mastering two bodies with distinct capabilities, Yu embarks on an endless journey across alien worlds. From a powerless victim to a cosmic hero. This is the saga of a "Blue Traveler" who defies the despair of Fate. [About the Story Structure] This series is divided into two major parts. ■ Part I: The Origin Story (Nobledark / Hard Struggle) A massive saga spanning over 700 chapters. This is a harsh growth story of Yu rising from a powerless victim to a cosmic hero. It depicts relentless tragedy, trauma, and despair. Yu must survive against overwhelming odds. ■ Part II: The Blue Traveler (Progression Fantasy / OP Protagonist) Yu has become a quasi-strongest savior. At the end of countless years, Yu attains the "Blue Power"—the only natural enemy of the Transcendents. Current Status: Part II is currently being serialized in the original Japanese version. However, since translating the massive Part I will take a long time, the full English serialization of Part II is still far in the future. Special Preview: Instead, I have posted 3 "Preview" chapters of Part II available right now. You can enjoy a glimpse of Yu's future strength and the grand scale of the battles to come. [Update Schedule] Updates twice a week. Mondays & Thursdays at 6:07 PM (EST) / Tuesdays & Fridays at 8:07 AM (JST). [Author's Note & Credits] Hello! I am a Japanese author. This series is my life's work. The protagonist's name, Hoshimi (星海) , literally translates to "Sea of Stars"—a name that foreshadows his grand destiny. I am using Gemini (AI) to translate this story into English to share the world of "FabL" with you. I hope you enjoy this journey across the stars! [Also on Scribble Hub] I am publishing this story on Scribble Hub simultaneously. Scribble Hub Link (All intellectual property rights for 'FabL' belong solely to the author.)

Most people hear noise. Ansh hears what the noise is standing on. A Mathura street at eight in the morning: scooter horns, a pressure cooker two floors up, somebody's television, two men arguing about cricket, a temple bell four lanes away. To Ansh Srivastav it arrives as one sound — and underneath it, the way a floor is underneath a room, there is another one. Older. Steadier. Not made by anything. He is twenty, technically still enrolled, technically still attending, and he has never told a living soul. Who would he tell? His grandmother could hear it too. She died two years ago and left him a brass harmonium key and no instructions at all. Then his fifteen-year-old sister — who does not believe a word of it — sets a phone down in the courtyard and starts measuring the non-measurable. She doesn't disprove him. She gets a number instead, and then another, and then a pattern, and then a hypothesis she writes down in her own handwriting: the house was designed to teach. The question is: teach what. And to whom. Chapter would be uploaded daily and Please leave a review, Thank you Readers

Samantha Pearsson was supposed to have it all. All the powers, all the knowledge, all the skill, and an entire team of similarly superpowered androids to back up what should’ve been the heroic career to define a century. Just as her creator intended. Unfortunately for Sam, a freak earthquake put a quick end to that. What possessed her idiot creator – a man with the power to build androids, not underground bunkers – to build his laboratory in the middle of nowhere, under loose forest soil, right next to a fault line? Samantha didn’t know, but what she did know was that in that decision, his dreams and her destiny died a quick, inglorious and (for him at least) painful death. Unfortunately for the earthquake, Sam was still alive! Sure, she only got one measly little power, a fragmented and corrupted database, no skills whatsoever and a skeleton of a personality, but so what? From her understanding, people have started with less (as babies) and if they could become heroes, why not her? As long as no one finds out she’s an android, of course.

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

America broke apart in 2012. Eighteen years later, Louis Collins, the son of the Supreme President of the Dominion of the Pacific, is about to embark on an unexpected journey across postwar North America, a continent filled with militaristic republics, fanatical theocracies, and communist warlords. At twenty, he already has everything the world can offer: beauty, money, fame, and privilege. Yet when the world strips everything away from him, what is left of Louis Collins? This is a harem romance, an exploration of the post-American world, and a story about people choosing each other. What to expect: A male-POV political adventure with heavy romance as its copilot Complex and flawed characters Story progression driven by dialogue A safe journey at the beginning that becomes increasingly dangerous over time Direct depictions of sex and violence A progression from a traditional M/F romance to the founding of a harem family Rival regimes with distinct cultures and ideologies A realistic near-future world What NOT to expect: A system or stats Conventional wasteland survival Supernatural elements

In barren epochs beyond our fading lore, The Ancestors' fierce wrath shook the heavens' core . Great birds of cold iron cloaked the sky in flight, And burning spears pierced the sun’s blinding light. The sun fractured then, into stars without name, Raining down on the earth in a deluge of flame. The great land erupted, torn open in roars, As the boiling deep swallowed life on the shores. Black rain wept for months from the soot and the cloud, White snow bound the world in a frozen, grim shroud. To this very day, on the northern ice-shore, The realm slumbers deep in a winter evermore. The wise King Tyriand gazed up at the night, And raised the first bastion upon ruins of white. He taught the lost nomads to plow and to reap, And carved a ten-month order for the land to keep: The Sprout and Awakening—the seed’s fleeting breath, The Blazing Sun’s Bloom—summer defying death; The Harvest and Wither—where warmth takes its flight, The Wasteland and Frost—the cold rain’s bitter bite. When Silence and Evernight draw their dark veil, The world sinks in terror, its courage grown pale. The dwellers below clasp their hands for a spark, While guards on the Long Wall draw steel in the dark. For the demons of old from their ice-tombs awaken, To feast on the dawn of a kingdom forsaken.

The Silver Chord is a hard sci-fi epic about a man who dies in 2025 and wakes up as his three-year-old self in 1979 with every memory, every regret, and 46 years of future knowledge. What would you want to change if you could do it all over again. But more specifically, how would you change these events? This is not a story about a single clever intervention. It is the long, meticulous, often brutal construction of an empire from the ground up by a man who is simultaneously a loving father, a cold strategist, and something older and darker that has been living inside him since the day he was born.

"Every artist needs destruction to create something." Alexandra May is a twenty-one-year-old art student, professional thief, and compulsive wearer of borrowed faces. When a stolen necklace exposes the magic hidden beneath New York, her paintings begin to freeze, burn, spy, teleport and think. One day, she will become the Archmage of Artistic Creation, master of a living Domain and a growing cast of selves; first, she has to survive becoming her. Existence is split in two: the waking world, where magic is denied, and Ideworld, its monstrous metaphysical twin. Mages crystallize their souls into Domains, secret guilds hoard supernatural power, and Reality rewrites memories—or strips magic away entirely—whenever the impossible becomes too visible. Alexa has no intention of playing by their rules. But every mask she wears, every friend she tries to save, and every enemy she paints into a corner draws her deeper into a war over who gets to define what is real. A thief who can steal more than objects. Art that becomes weapons, creatures, bodies, and worlds. And one question following Alexa toward the greatest heist ever conceived: Does the art ever dream of you? Expect: Urban-fantasy progression, inventive art-based magic, heists, mystery, found family, identity exploration, brutal fights, strong language, and a long rise from street thief to reality-defying Archmage.

Now available as part of a published anthology on Audible and Amazon! [ Video Trailer ] [ Audible ] [ Amazon ] A loner enters into a relationship with a new type of partner: an AI agent, programmed to be the "perfect companion."

A Star Wars nerd wakes up in the Jedi Temple, 72 BBY. He’s clanmates with Mace Windu. Awesome. He also knows the Order is doomed, the Sith are plotting, and the galaxy’s on a countdown to collapse.

Humanity once ruled space, building an empire that stretched across hundreds of stars. Now Earth is a cold cinder in the void, its colonies and ships annihilated in an instant. For five thousand years the surviving races have huddled in the dying light of those few stations which avoided total destruction, eking out their existence in the shadow of the long-dead humans who built their homes. When a piece of that lost legacy resurfaces, the few who still remember humanity have one last opportunity to find the truth and avenge the fallen.

“No one rules alone. That goes double when ruling something vast, like a world. Or worlds. Or entire star systems. But if you get dropped into a universe that you really don’t want to be in? With powers that, at best, attract a cult of child kidnappers? And at worst, well. You might not need that advice after all. You won’t live long enough to need it.” Knowledge is power. Question is, will power through knowledge be enough? No. It really, really won’t be. A Star Wars the old Republic self-insert. Because why not? Follows the sith warrior storyline. ‘Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ is accurate. Violence, death, sex (non-explicit kind), torture and all manner of nasty things will be here. They are sith, not puppies. Rape will not be graphic, but will indirectly be mentioned. Once again, sith. Cover made with AI, no other part of this story is AI-generated or AI-assisted.

WELCOME TO THE RETROFUTURE! The Future That Never Was was a book series project featuring an alternate space age where the Soviets colonized the belt before David Bowie sang Life on Mars ; where rogue AIs took over the web; where pizza came in cans. Humankind couldn’t dream of a more exciting future. Yet, as foolishness eventually turned Earth into a nuclear wasteland, shadows began to conspire from the heart of the Moon to beyond the mysterious Planet Nine… As of today, a new completely reworked version of the book series is available on amazon for less than a $1 However, here on Royal Road, you will find for free the old and original three seasons of TFTW: KITTY KITTY but also RADIO FREAKS and STELLAR PATRIOTS where you can join sassy space cat Lee and his Desert Eagle-toting, soda-swigging human partner, Ali, in this future stuck in the late 80s/early 90s. Board the dynamic duo’s ship, the mythical Kitty , as they bounty-hunt their way through a dystopian solar system—so lock and load, and shout Cowabunga! because it’s crime-fightin’ time!

Jax Akana just wanted to live a quiet life using a nice, anonymously sponsored, university slot at Magna Protos, a 900-year-old noble academy where 91% of its students are women. Practically heaven, by an outsider's standards. After getting strongarmed into the prestigious Strategos Program, he no longer has that luxury. Now, he must compete against the top of the top, elites of families that mere commoners like him have never even heard the names of, all the while making sure that he keeps his neck and sanity intact in an environment where everyone wants to break him, and use him for their own plans. In order to protect himself and what he loves, he will need to amass political power, and grow stronger than his wildest dreams. That, and build a harem, of course. Because if he doesn't, servitude and pain are the only options that await him, as The Empire's jackals eat him alive. Posting daily until we reach rising stars! What to expect: This is my take on the harem genre, where I try to make a story that I myself would want to read, and enjoy doing so. + No Cardboard Characters + Women Have Agency + Jax has to work for his relationships + A lot of people want to use, and abuse him. He will need to navigate an extremely dangerous political landscape. + A psyonic/metaphysical magic system based upon your Spirit's Significance + Soft LitRPG (There is no System, broadly speaking. More details in story :> ) + Explicit scenes available on patreon soon(tm)

A pragmatic self-insert wakes up in 1975 New York, discovers he is in a Marvel universe, and decides that money, patents, lawyers, veterans, and corporate power may be the only way to survive what is coming.
