The Worst Kobold

Fluke was the worst kobold who ever lived. He was a clumsy, awkward, malformed, 50-ton, thick-scaled, razor-clawed, creature of unimaginable destruction. He caved in the entire east copper mine with a swing of his tail, and he nearly crushedthe hatchery caretaker Tenderclaw beneath his massive feet. He was truly the worst. Now, I know what you're thinking. That... sounds like I'm talking about a dragon. But no. Fluke was confident he was a simple kobold. He knew it. Everyone in the tribe knew it. Hatched from an egg? Check. Raised by kobolds? Check. Lives underground in caves? Check. Clearly, a kobold. Dragons were royalty. Powerful, majestic, titanic beasts of pure elemental power. And Fluke certainly wasn't any of that. After all, no all-powerful dragon would toil away in the mines like he did… right? But when the humans attacked one day, and he saw his friend struck down , Fluke began to learn there might be parts of himself he’s… overlooked. Please, have a seat, and let me tell you about Fluke. The Worst Kobold. A non-zero chance to be an upcoming 3d animated movie! What to expect: Native protagonists. (No LitRPG or Isekai, though I'm a big fan of the genres! A cozy comedy centered around a dragon convinced he's a kobold. No harem! Main character has enough trouble asking out one kobold. Interconnected stories with different points of views, including the badass warrior kobold love interest, the noble prince who'd be the main character elsewhere, and a pluck minorly magic goblin! 48% more kobolds than other stories Art done by: Flar

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.

The One Punch Demon

Julien is a young high schooler and a self-proclaimed loser. Everyone's punching bag. His classmates bully him daily and he had been wishing to disappear because he couldn't take it anymore. "If this was a video game, I would punch all of them with a single punch." He thought about fighting back but never had the guts. But in video games, he was untouchable. Number one worldwide on his favourite game, ABYSS ARENA. He had few challengers and none of them lasted long. It still wasn't enough to satisfy him though. One afternoon after getting bullied, he logged on, took out a challenger in under a minute, then he was still bored that he switched to story mode. He had been using his favourite character, Sorin, a powerful fighter, strong enough to challenge Lennon, a boss who had proven to be an opponent Julien simply couldn't beat. He gave up and let the game run on its own. Lennon made his final move and sent Sorin flying into the sky. The crowd erupted screaming Lennon's name. Julien closed his eyes in jealous. ‘If only I was famous like Lennon.’ Suddenly He saw himself falling. He was inside Sorin's body, actually, he was Sorin. Falling from the sky, he drove one punch straight into the celebrating Lennon and knocked him out. Sorin stood victorious. Julien (Sorin) cheered. "Yeah!" But the voice that came out wasn't his. It was hard and deep. Instead of erupting with cheers, the crowd remained quiet. Then the system screamed. "ALERT. ALERT. ALERT. Arch Demon detected within the Arena premises. This is a Code Red. All defense forces, converge on the Arena immediately." He had been given a second life inside a fighter's body — but that second life came with a problem. He was a demon. The entire Varenhold State was now hunting him. He was saved by Clara, an elf girl who helped him escape and showed him the ropes of this new world. What Sorin didn't know was that Clara was on a mission. A prophecy had foretold the coming of a powerful demon — and the person who sent Clara wanted Sorin to become the next Demon King. When Clara found out the truth after bringing Sorin in, she refused to hand Sorin over. She chose to become a traitor instead. With her trusted team of girls by her side, they fled with Sorin. But the threats kept coming. Sorin's fiancée in another state had her own agenda. She wanted his power, and she was willing to become an enemy to get it. Now the whole world is after him. Arch Demons aren't allies to any race. Every faction wants him captured, controlled or dead. How will a boy who just wanted to beat a video game boss survive a world that was never meant for him?

My Mate Thinks He's Human

Elaria crossed the sea to bring her mate home. She expected Vaelor to be busy. She expected him to have a very good reason for disappearing into the human world for hundreds of years. She did not expect him to look her in the eye and calmly say: “My name is Valerian.” Even worse, the Duke of Edevane insists that he is human. That dragons are myths. And that the strange young woman who appeared at his estate claiming to be both a dragon and his lifelong mate should probably go home. Unfortunately for Valerian, Elaria knows exactly who he is. Unfortunately for Elaria, her mate has apparently forgotten everything. Now she must survive human society, learn why unmarried men and women are not supposed to sleep in the same room, pretend to be Valerian’s “distant relative,” and somehow convince a perfectly rational duke that he is, in fact, a dragon. Meanwhile, the strange anomalies Valerian has spent his human life hunting may be connected to something far older than either of them remembers. And the closer Elaria gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: Vaelor did not simply forget his way home. He forgot that home ever existed.

The Crimson Mageless

In the kingdom of Ashbourne, magic is everything in this world. For seventeen-year-old Alistar Fenwick, that's a major problem. Every test he has ever taken has returned the same result: Mana Detection: Negative. In a world where power determines worth, Alistar is an anomaly, an outcast, a young man seemingly incapable of using even the simplest of spell. Yet against all logic, he receives an acceptance letter from the kingdom's most prestigious school, a place that trains mages, scholars, and future heroes of the kingdom. As he prepares to leave behind the quiet life of the Crimson Tavern, Alistar finds himself haunted by small fragments of the past: recurring dreams, an old scar that shouldn't even exist, letters from a childhood friend he hasn't seen even in years, and a crimson moon that makes something weird within him. Meanwhile, far beyond the academy's walls, ancient forces begin to move. Secrets buried for over a decade are starting to resurface, and the truth behind Alistar's existence may be far more dangerous than anyone realizes. At Crimson Academy, where every student is expected to wield magic, one boy with none at all may become the centre of a mystery that threatens to change everything. Some mistakes are meant to be corrected. Others reshape the world.

I Stole A Dead Goddess's Blessing and Now She Won't Leave Me Alone

The color of a Divine Core determines your worth—and Anadis Kalonis awakened the worst one possible. Anadis had wanted to be a Blessen since he was five. He trained for years, learned to survive dangerous situations, and studied the gods rigorously so that by the time he was old enough for the Awakening Ceremony, his chances of being chosen by a God and surviving the Blessed Trial would be nearly guaranteed. But it still wasn't enough. He got the worst Divine Core possible—kids with that core didn't survive the Blessed Trial. He also didn't expect his sister and his twin to awaken Divine cores, and far better ones than his. But what he truly did not expect in a hundred years was for a goddess to fall from the sky, one who supposedly died fifteen centuries ago. And get this, she wanted his brother for herself. And she wanted to kill Anadis. Of course she did… Finally, when the Divine Voice attempted to register his new Blessing, it marked him with something no Blessen had ever received: [Sacred Fault: Godkiller] What to expect: - Weak to strong (it’s going to take a while for him to become the strongest, folks) - Slow-burn romance subplot (he’s painfully dense—don’t expect fast progress here) - Action every few chapters with slice-of-life and progression in between (downtime matters as much as combat) - Creative magic system with litRPG elements. - Multi-POV (mostly Anadis, with occasional side steps) - Gradual expanding worldbuilding (the world expands as Anadis moves through it) - Long chapters (3,000 words average) - 200k+ words written and ongoing (this story will be really long) Read 10 chapters ahead on Patreon!

Wan Zhaolu sighed and was about to turn back to cleaning her sword when she heard him continued: "Or you could try this dress little Jinghua gave me. Sighs, why did she even give me such a thing? It’s not as if I can wear it." Wan Zhaolu snapped her head back at him, "Who is this Jinghua? Is she a woman?" "Huh? She is Yisong's junior, she visited us a few months ago remeber?
