Shadow Emperor

Immensely powerful yet wildly down-to-earth, Xylan Miirak has never been particularly interested in putting up a front- even with the responsibilities of ruling his people. No amount of politics, bureaucracy, or public perception stops him from unabashedly being himself at all times, for better or worse. For the past ten millennia, he’s been able to keep this up, no doubt in part due to his quick wit and unmatched power and skill as a Level 7 Kinetic Sorcerer. Despite having to worry about ruling an interstellar empire, Xylan still has to worry about things like being a husband, raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and generally finding time for a life outside of work. Unfortunately, his life is about to get a lot more interesting. The evil warlord Romulus has unleashed his merciless Kymaran hordes upon the Andromeda Galaxy, and Xylan’s people are first on his list. Apparently, he wasn’t busy enough already.

Shell: Tower Climbing in a Monster's Body

The Zenith erupted from the earth—monsters, demons, and alien horrors pouring out of a million Towers, wiping out half of humanity in a single year. My parents vanished in the chaos. I didn't. When the survivors finally got the power to fight back, they got fireballs, blades of light, and heroic bloodlines. I got a corpse. [SYSTEM NOTICE] Ability Unlocked: Carcass Possession No spells. No weapons. My class lets me climb inside the bodies of the monsters I kill and wear their skin — their strength, their claws, their nightmares — like armor. Everyone who saw it called it a trash roll. A joke of a class for a kid who'd never survive his first Tower. They were wrong. The Zenith reached the peak of evolution before they broke the world. Now every corpse I leave behind is a weapon I get to keep. I'm going to climb their Towers, wear their bodies, and take back everything they took from me — one stolen shell at a time. What to Expect: ⚔ Unique LitRPG system — no mana, no magic, just Carcass Possession 🦴 Stats, tiers, and a growing "Vessel Library" of monster bodies to wear 🏙 Grim, grounded post-apocalyptic setting — Grey District, guild politics, black markets 🤝 Alliance-building over chosen-one power fantasy — trust is earned, not given 📈 Slow-burn progression that rewards patience, precision, and clever tactics over raw stats 🐜 Body-horror flavored transformation — possession has a cost, and it isn't clean 👁 A mysterious, ancient rival who's been doing this far longer than the MC has 📅 Upload Schedule: 2 Chapters Daily at 9:00 AM & 7:00 PM EDT (3:00 PM & 1:00 AM CEST).

SideKick | Shit Hero

Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this? A.N.: A short story set in the cyberpunk heroes universe of higgscrowl (Radiant).

He has a seat to take over, a clan to expand. A future already meticulously mapped. Then the Simulator arrived. It made him question the understanding of the world, that took over 16 years to build. It grants cheats and golden fingers from who knows where. It runs possibilities he has lived yet hasn't lived and hands him power drawn from their outcomes.

Nonetheless, His original plans need some serious modifications. The roots, however, aren't going anywhere.

The Advent of the Soul Tree

What if you died a nobody and woke up as a tree? Dendron died a nobody. He quit jobs, avoided conflict, and spent his days doing the bare minimum. When a truck ends his unremarkable existence, he expects nothing at all. Instead, he wakes up as a tree: rooted, immobile, and monumentally alone. In a forest teeming with monsters, cultivators, and beast tribes, Dendron discovers he's been given a second chance, and a LitRPG system to go with it. He can absorb soul cores, grow spiritual fruit, and even parasitize other creatures to build a network of avatars. Soon, he builds a network of wolves, apes, and allies who see him as a mysterious merchant, a powerful tree, or even a god. But being surrounded isn't the same as being understood. He is a reincarnator in a world that doesn't know his past. A tree in a forest of beasts. A creature in a world that fears anything it can't name. And something put him here on purpose. Whatever put him here has plans for him, and they may be far more terrifying than being a tree. "A truck hit me five minutes ago, and now I'm a fucking tree?" A LitRPG cultivation fantasy about growth, loneliness, and the quiet horror of becoming something you never planned to be. If you enjoy slow-burn mysteries, hidden organizations, ancient beings, layered worldbuilding, and gradually uncovering the true nature of a world, you may find something to enjoy here. Author's note: This novel is also officially published by me on Royalroad under the username Bryrawr.
