Self-Summon [Demon Summoning/Evolution litRPG]

Literal starving artist, Angelica Hallow, is suddenly hit on the head by a book while dumpster diving out of desperation. Compelled by the illustrations inside the tome, she recreates one of the intricate circles on the floor of her apartment. Ignorant of the forces she's messing around with, Angelica accidentally activates the magic circle and triggers a Summoning. But rather than any Demon or other supernatural creature, instead, she summoned... herself?! With a new voice in her head blathering about Skills and Contracts, and the inexplicable ability to give herself Orders that she is forced to obey, will Angelica be able to secure the peaceful life of artistry that she craves, or will she come to embrace the Demon within? What to expect: - A system made by Demons for Demons. Filled with unique and strange skills to explore, some of which don't always have her best interests in mind. - Steady progression throughout, even while still figuring out her situation and system. - Fairly lighthearted… most of the time. - Action at regular intervals. It’s not constant, but it’s never too far off. - Strictly Urban Fantasy for the first book. After that, the settings will continue to get more diverse and unique - Yuri tag will happen in later books, but not Book 1 Coverart by Slothbeing

Overseer - [Psychological Urban Fantasy]

Every criminal in Anderis dreams of being hired as a Receiver for the Syndicate. And for good reason: they'd be guaranteed work and pay, gain a fearsome reputation, and, for those few gifted with supernatural abilities, they'd be granted free rein to use their powers. However, for the former-office worker—codenamed Rookie—the Syndicate's Retirement Scheme is all that matters. "50,000 shares. That's all I need to erase myself from the outside world. Past, Present, and Future... I'll leave it all behind." But with tensions rising between the nation's factions, rumblings of another War, and the headache-inducing voices he keeps hearing—cracks have formed in the thatched walls of Rookie's life, making way for his past to come pouring through. One dreadful wave after the other. Will Rookie attain the freedom he desperately desires? Or will he instead be drowned beneath the crushing tides of his past? - Current release schedule will be daily: from Monday to Friday at 17:30 GMT. - Backlog is about 250k words. So this story won’t be disappearing/going on hiatus for a good while! Cover Art by @NadiaDibaj
