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 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 Red Flags of a Serial Killer

Eliot, 22, has only one dream: to be normal. Get his degree, keep his amazing girlfriend, and blend into the crowd. But fate-or maybe that weird priest who performed an exorcism on him when he was eight-has other plans. Because Eliot has a secret he doesn't even know himself: he's a magnet for catastrophes. Not just any catastrophes. Everywhere he goes, "perfect" people tend to suffer fatal accidents-absurd, unlikely, and almost comically timed. A slip on the stairs. A forgotten allergy. A thunderstorm that strikes a little too precisely... The worst part? Eliot is convinced he's cursed. He lives in constant fear of the police and crushed by guilt over his clumsiness. What he doesn't know yet is that Karma has a very particular sense of humor. His "victims" are never innocent. A serial killer disguised as the ideal son-in-law, a neighbor with an unspeakable past, a web celebrity with cult-like tactics... Eliot cleans up the city without meaning to-one fall at a time. Between panic attacks, deadly misunderstandings, and criminal law exams, discover the story of the most incompetent-and the most effective-vigilante in history. PS : Just so you know, English isn't my native language, but I'll do my best so you can enjoy my ideas as much as possible :) "I will be posting this story on Royal Road'

Halloween Story: The Lake Surprise — Part Two: A Legend Rises

Ten years have passed… but the lake never forgot. What happened that day was buried—silenced by fear, guilt, and lies no one dared to speak out loud. The survivors moved on… or at least, they tried to. But every Halloween, the past returns. Names begin to appear. People begin to die. And the truth… begins to surface. Something is calling from the lake. Not just a memory. Not just a legend. Something alive. Something patient. The whispers grow louder each year—echoing through churches, streets, and dreams. A name repeated over and over like a curse that refuses to fade: Billy. The deeper they look, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t random. This isn’t coincidence. This is something that was never meant to survive. And now… It’s rising. The lake doesn’t just take. It remembers. It marks. It comes back for what it’s owed. And this time— It’s stronger.

Halloween Story: The Lake Surprise part one

It was supposed to be harmless. A joke. A prank. Something they could all laugh about later. Six friends walked toward the old lake at the edge of town, carrying snacks, secrets… and a plan that should have never existed. Billy trusted them. He trusted her most of all. But the moment the water touched him, everything went wrong. The laughter didn’t last. The screams did. Something beneath the surface answered him—fast, sharp, and hungry. Not one bite. Not one mistake. A swarm. By the time they pulled him out, the lake had already taken its share. And what remained… wasn’t something you could forget. Now the group is left with silence. With guilt. With a truth none of them are willing to speak out loud. Because the real horror isn’t just what was in the water. It’s knowing— Someone planned this. And no one stopped it. Some secrets sink. Others stay with you… long after the blood washes away.
