Venerable

On a normal Tuesday afternoon, Dustin’s nap was interrupted and he was pulled into a new reality filled with magic, classes, powers, and countless monsters. In this new reality, one’s own strength was what truly mattered. A person could rule over countless others based solely on that strength. After obtaining a special class during the tutorial phase through a rare event, Dustin finally saw the true nature of the world he had entered. Here, the weak were oppressed for eternity, and even the strong lived under the oppression of fate. In a world where countless beings struggled to ascend to the apex of the multiverse, could Dustin truly rise… or would he fall into the bottomless abyss? What righteousness? And what Demonic? To ascend is to defy fate. What is a Venerable? Is he the strongest in the multiverse? Or is he the wisest… or something else entirely? How can one become a Venerable? Follow Dustin on his reluctant journey to become a Venerable — a path filled with joy, sadness, ambition, and madness. Update Schedule: 3 Chapters per week. Note: The Story is kind of a mixture of LitRpg and Cultivation at first it may seem like a LitRpg progression but as the story progresses it will eventually shift to mainly Cultivation genre (or you can also say magic based power fantasy rather than a system based) So in short the power progression will be logical. And yes numbers will go up but I won't be describing every single thing using a system screen since I'll be treating the system as a tool or as an entity rather than as a universal thing. What to expect:- No harem Logical power growth  Weak to strong  Very big world building (multiverse)

The Doomsday Reaver

The Doomsday Trials had one purpose: forge the ultimate warrior with the ultimate progression system. Not one place, not one time. All of time, to fight across every age of man, from the brutal stone age to a future of demonic hordes and twenty foot mechs. But the plan failed. No-one advanced. Everyone died and the trials were forgotten. Then Felix falls from the sky. Naked. Broken. Five hit points. Oh, and there’s a sabretooth tiger about to decorate the jungle floor with his guts. Great. Blasted to the dawn of humanity, Felix awakes in the savage past. No tutorial, the system hasn’t even been updated in centuries. But this place has rules and stats, and Felix knows how to exploit the hell out of both. Suddenly he’s doing what hasn’t been done in centuries – winning, advancing. Because the trials never needed a perfect warrior. Just an obsessive gamer. Right, plan. First? Don’t die. Next? A working HUD. Maybe some pants Chapter release 5x week M-F. 20 ahead on patreon 300k already written across three volumes. Cover by Alan Gomes

A war fought by a one-man army in the shadows of US law enforcement. /// Introduction - Justice is truly blind, O.I. Hate. It is powerful - it endures the longest amid the dying stars of human emotion. Hate. Utter contempt for one's own race. How far would someone go. How terrible their resolve. How deep the machinations. To extract their revenge - satiate that cool fire - against the object of that burning hate. What heights would such a being reach - when they abhor the sky that hangs overhead and the earth beneath their feet. Their weakness shackles them. Their humanity binds them. Not a wildfire, no, it would be slow. Painful. Equal. An instrument of justice become odium incarnate. A grudge so deep it would consume the soul. A predator unleashed upon ‘polite’ society. How far would such a being go? To make them feel true fear.

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.
