The Crack In Heaven [A LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

In the slums beneath Veston, Kael fled before his mother's body grew cold. No sun. No flowers. No hope. No dreams. Winter and gang lords buried them all. "Pray to the gods and endure for a better tomorrow," his mom said. Why would he pray to the same gods who denied him peace? Who thrust him into this nightmare? No, he'd carve a way to Veston with his own hands, and it started by breaking his promise to his mother for survival. But the job for gang lord Garrick Vane went wrong. He was left for dead with nothing but a ledger salvaged from a submerged temple. But he refused death. "I persist." Two words that awakened a forbidden power, an unlicensed truth anchored to belief and paid for in the warmth of his most precious memories. Now a heretic hunted by priests who burn the unfaithful, Kael discovered the ledger tracked everything: his stress, his anchor, the price he had already paid. Every choice stresses his truth. And if his anchor breaks, he wouldn't just die: he'd become something worse. What to expect: - Analytical main character who thinks his way through problems. - A deep, original system to decipher along with Kael. - A lore-rich worldbuilding with its own religions and epochs to discover. - Truths that aren't free entries on a stat sheet. - No harem Length: 1,600 – 2,000 words per chapter. Schedule: 1 chapter daily.

The Arcane Guardians

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. - Henry David Thoreau In a world where both magic and supernatural powers coexist, Felix Pagonis is a complacent but powerful psychic who is merely content with using his powers for himself. Despite facing blatant discrimination against his race, he leads a relatively easy life working as a part-time law enforcer in an elite task force: the Guardian Council. But all that will change when his colleague, Gaius Deusdedit, discovers a unique spellcraft that traces back to their world’s sinister origins during one of their missions. A reluctant Felix is dragged into a plot that may very well plunge their world into an eternal, literal hell. Facing a powerful criminal syndicate as well as sinister forces in the shadows, the duo will soon find themselves losing a lot more than they can handle.

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)

War for Justice

Every great man believed he was righteous. War for Justice is the story of a boy raised in isolation, shaped by scripture, and pointed toward greatness before he was old enough to choose it. This is a story about faith and what it demands. About brotherhood and what it costs. About power - how it is seized, how it corrupts, and how it convinces good men that what they are doing is still good. Not every tragedy ends with a man who chose evil.

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch book 1)

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew. Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows. Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her. Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart. But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential. Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy. The Deadly Touch Series: Healer's Touch Warrior's Touch Magician's Touch *May count as Romantasy, but the spice is pretty middling. Goes into dark themes, including torture & rape, but never between the main couple. The first chapters are brutal, but I had to start Llew off somewhere …

My Unicorn Thinks I’m His Maiden – A Dungeon Crawler World Story

The world ended while I was hungover… and dressed as a magical girl. It's not exactly how I planned to start my day. One minute I was waking up next to a bonfire with my friends, the next, everything, my home, my town, all of it, gone. Flattened. Stripped. Replaced with dirt and stone like it never existed. Then came the message, Earth had been claimed and harvested due to an error in paperwork. And the survivors? We were given a choice: Enter a massive, AI-controlled dungeon… or stay behind and figure out how long we could last with nothing left. I didn’t have supplies, didn’t have a plan, didn’t even have proper clothes, but I wasn’t about to sit around and starve so, I started walking. Now I’ve got my friends behind me, a horse that refuses to leave my side, and a countdown to get to the nearest entrance. I don’t know what’s waiting for us down there, but I do know one thing... If I’m going to survive the end of the world, I’m apparently doing it in heels. (Gonna be straight up with everyone, if you are familiar with the DCC novels then you should know what to generally expect. No, Carl and Donut will not make an appearance, this story happens at the same time and the dungeon is a big place. I am attempting to stay within the cannon though. Also, there will be a gender transformation, but it won’t happen until the start of the 3rd floor. However, that doesn't mean that the AI isn’t going to be trying to push the MC into it, after all, the AI finds the idea funny... Also, I hope this series inspires anyone who enjoys it and isn’t familiar with Dungeon Crawler Carl to pick up the first book and give it a try. Finally, a message to Matt Dinniman. I apologize in advance. At the very least, I hope if you ever come across this story it is weird enough for you.) (Credit where credit is due, the character design for the cover is by the talented Marudochi) (This novel is also being posted on Scribblehub and Royal Road)
