The Prisoner of the Tides / Shio no Toraware Neiva

What if the Gods cast you down from paradise not to be a savior, but to be a sacrifice? In a realm of light beyond the clouds, a god's worth isn't measured by their goodness or purity, but by how idolized they are. Neiva Deep Water was a Primordial Goddess of Hyperion, living an untouchable eternity, until a dragon invasion shatters the celestial borders. The ruling deities decree a cruel fate: Neiva and her sisters are stripped of their grace and banished to the mortal realm of Primitia. Their mission? To act as divine shields for a fragile humanity. But Primitia is not a world that welcomes saviors. It is a ruthless, blood-soaked land ruled by tyrants, demons, and the Twelve Tears of Hollows, an elite guild of assassins that manipulates the continent from the shadows. When a desperate escape goes terribly wrong, Neiva is violently separated from her twin sister and thrust into the darkest corners of the mortal world. To survive, the goddess of water must trade her divine silks for a colossal iron greatsword and stain her hands with blood. The goddess of water was sent to save a planet, but on earth, she will find mortals who also bleed to save the land they love, and monsters who seek to consume it entirely. Cover by : Yuzhang

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!

Bugged Player: Leveling Up In Realms Meant For My Death

He was a mere cleaner in the midst of world heroes. Nothing more. Burdened with responsibility far beyond his age, Yuin scraped by through multiple jobs. One of which was cleaning after the esteemed heroes and serving as their emotional outlet. Until a sudden malfunction in the hero system opened a new path. A dangerous one. On the day the heroes began their patriotic mission, Yuin was forcibly selected. Not to be a hero, but as one of the hundreds meant to be slaughtered as a display of power by the celestials who imposed the hero system upon the world. They are undefeated, even by the heroes. But Yuin, a mere cleaner, labeled potentialless, seized that dangerous path. And did what no one else could. He killed a celestial. Not one. Two. As an unregistered existence within the system—an error—Yuin became a loophole capable of ending beings beyond the world itself. Yet to those in power, he remains nothing more than a cleaner. He is ignored and overlooked, unaware that he is the very key to defeating the beings they fear most. Now dragged into deadly survival rounds alongside thousands, Yuin fights in places he was meant to die. And there, he climbs the ranks. Like every other, Yuin is granted the privilege to summon players. But unlike the rest, he does not follow the norm. While others summon power, he summons the exceptional. They summon attack players—he summons an alchemist who defies the limits of the world. They summon defenders—he summons a broker, a cunning figure who bends the system’s forbidden laws and deals in what even the system itself does not offer. He is an error. And errors… cannot be controlled.

Aevum - A VRMMO LitRPG Story

The incredibly anticipated game, Aevum, has just released today. Arthur has been waiting for this game for a long time, as it is the first true virtual reality MMORPG to ever be released. The company has been quite secretive about the technology behind it, though... Arthur will get to experience life in another world, along with fifty thousand other players as part of the first wave into Aevum. He will fight, learn, improve, make friends, make enemies, and uncover strange happenings in this new world. What to expect: A VRMMO story without "die in real life" stakes (I know, not everyone's cup of tea). A main character who is driven to become stronger through pure swordsmanship, no magic. Fairly light hearted tones, with descriptions of violence but nothing grotesque. PG-13 is roughly equivalent I would say.
