Destruction of the Rebirth Wheel

Scarlet King has lived and died more times than anyone could ever count. Every death should have been an ending. Instead, the Rebirth Wheel drags him back—into another body, another world, another life. Again. And again. And again. After countless cycles of existence, Scarlet King no longer seeks immortality, glory, love, or salvation. He seeks only one thing: Eternal rest. But as long as the Rebirth Wheel continues to turn, even death cannot grant him freedom. So Scarlet King chooses the only path left to him. He will destroy the Wheel itself. Through cultivation, slaughter, forbidden paths, and worlds governed by laws far beyond ordinary understanding, he will climb across the Eleven Dimensions and tear apart anything standing between him and his final death. He is no hero. He seeks no redemption. And he will not hesitate simply because countless lives stand in his way. If worlds must fall for the Rebirth Wheel to finally break, then worlds will fall. Because after enduring existence for longer than anyone should... Scarlet King believes eternal rest is worth any price. [Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, torture, morally dark themes, and a genuinely evil protagonist.]

The Chemistry of Healing

Olivia Hartwell is a scientist, not a hero. After a mysterious catastrophe tears her from modern England and strands her in the kingdom of Eldenoor, Olivia finds herself trapped in a world of magic, prophecy, and looming civil war. The first problem is survival. The second is finding a way home. Neither should involve treating wounded soldiers, arguing with healers, or questioning centuries of accepted medical knowledge. Yet as Olivia searches for answers, she discovers that healing magic can close wounds and mend broken bones while people still die from infection, disease, and poor care. For a scientist trained to look for causes rather than symptoms, the inconsistencies are impossible to ignore. Travelling with a company raising support for a prince seeking to reclaim his stolen kingdom, Olivia becomes entangled in a conflict she never wanted. Along the way she finds friendship, purpose, and reasons to care about a world she never intended to stay in. But some wounds leave scars no magic can erase. ________________________________________ A character-driven portal fantasy featuring medicine, magic, political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and the collision of scientific thinking with a world shaped by magic. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

I Command it while I sing it

Some voices are born to be heard. Others are born to be feared. Shelly Halton was never given the chance to be ordinary. Born into a noble family, her existence became a secret that even her own blood feared to expose. But beneath the whispers, the shame, and the doors closed against her lies something far more unsettling than her appearance. Something that should have remained forgotten. In a world where a single voice can change everything, Shelly will discover that being silenced and being powerless are not the same thing. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Singing has always been a part of her life, but there are moments when her own voice feels strangely unfamiliar—as though it carries something she has yet to understand. Two girls, each with a voice of her own. Two lives moving toward a future neither can fully see. But the world is not kind to those who are different, and power rarely comes without a price. As secrets linger beneath the surface and the boundaries between fear, freedom, and ambition begin to blur, their paths will lead toward a conflict neither can simply sing or command her way out of. Because when the world refuses to listen, what is left for those who were born with voices that should never have existed?

Now, with thousands of elves expecting their legendary commander to lead them into battle, Brenda must survive a world she knows nothing about while pretending to be someone she isn't.

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.

Work From Home Sect

No one: The beginning of almost every isekai story... The protagonist slowly opened his eyes. "Where am I?" Judging by the ceiling above him, it definitely wasn't his room. The last thing he remembered was walking home from work when a truck came out of nowhere. After that... Did I get isekai'd? Several years later, he finally obtained what every transmigrator dreamed of. A system. [Ding! Welcome to the Sect Master System!] [Beginner Pack Reward Issued.] His eyes lit up. What was it? A divine cultivation technique? An ancient bloodline? A heaven-defying treasure? Instead, a familiar rectangular object appeared in his hands. "A... smartphone?" He stared at it in confusion. "What am I supposed to do with this?" [Create a Sect. Become its Master.] "I don't even have a place to start a sect..." He paused for a moment. "Oh wait, I can just make one at home." The system: [...]

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.
