Aetherios System [Slow Build OP MC, Isekai LitRPG/Cultivation]

Welcome to the Aetherios System, where the quests are mandatory and failure results in deletion! Alex Pierce thought the worst part of military life was eating stale MREs and getting screamed at by people who loved pushups more than oxygen. He was wrong. Caught in a nuclear blast and dumped into a world of magic, Alex and eleven other soldiers find themselves in a reality where stats rule, The System gives no mercy, and Alex discovers bigger problems than simple rations and the childhood trauma of living in his twin brother’s shadow. Problems like: - Forest badgers with bodybuilding addictions and very personal grudges. - A kobold village too dumb for diplomacy. - One cantankerous apothecary witch. - Smug elves. - And an undead dungeon that didn’t get the memo about staying dead. His fellow Isekai’d soldiers are a disaster, his power build is ruined thanks to one little magical oopsie, and his closest “ally” might be an evil talking river pebble. (It swears it isn’t evil. He’s not convinced.) The System doesn’t care if Alex is confused, terrified, or quietly crumbling under self-doubt. It only cares if he proves himself worthy to exist. Prove yourself or be erased. No pressure.

Our Journey's End

(Undergoing Rewrite) “I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar, against all odds he had survived. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar fog that seems mysterious. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head, a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge... After all, he has not forgotten... What to Expect 🃏Slow-burn 💮Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy 🃏An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit 💮Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty 🃏A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another 💮Mystery-driven worldbuilding 🃏Character-focused progression 💮Subtle romance 🃏AI opening chapter illustrations Schedule: 5 chapters on Tuesday 5 chapters on Saturday Patreon Daily release schedule General Author Linktree https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

Self-Summon [Demon Summoning/Evolution litRPG]

Literal starving artist, Angelica Hallow, is suddenly hit on the head by a book while dumpster diving out of desperation. Compelled by the illustrations inside the tome, she recreates one of the intricate circles on the floor of her apartment. Ignorant of the forces she's messing around with, Angelica accidentally activates the magic circle and triggers a Summoning. But rather than any Demon or other supernatural creature, instead, she summoned... herself?! With a new voice in her head blathering about Skills and Contracts, and the inexplicable ability to give herself Orders that she is forced to obey, will Angelica be able to secure the peaceful life of artistry that she craves, or will she come to embrace the Demon within? What to expect: - A system made by Demons for Demons. Filled with unique and strange skills to explore, some of which don't always have her best interests in mind. - Steady progression throughout, even while still figuring out her situation and system. - Fairly lighthearted… most of the time. - Action at regular intervals. It’s not constant, but it’s never too far off. - Strictly Urban Fantasy for the first book. After that, the settings will continue to get more diverse and unique - Yuri tag will happen in later books, but not Book 1 Coverart by Slothbeing

Gifted

Most people don't remember being born. Sebastian remembers dying first. Reborn with his memories somewhat intact and a stolen demon's power tangled into his soul, he's given something rarer than any starting class: time. Time to test his limits before he can walk. Time to reverse-engineer a hidden system no one will explain to him. Time to learn exactly how much of himself he can afford to reveal, and to who. Growing up at a mountain outpost on the edge of nowhere, raised by a disgraced mage and the mother who saved him from a cult's altar, Bastian has every reason to keep his Status a secret. But the numbers don't lie, and neither does the thing he absorbed in the womb. Somewhere in the dark, it's still hungry. And it isn't the only thing watching him grow. Gifted: First Steps — some paths begin before you can walk.

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)

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!

Wisps of Humanity

Nine billion souls. Every species on Earth. One final, desperate Hail Mary. For three decades, an AI has tried to engineer a peaceful coexistence between humanity and Earth after preventing a human-caused extinction level event. Put into stasis, humans have all been living in a simulation. Every single test failed, poisoned by human greed, class warfare, and systemic exploitation. Now, the AI is pulling the plug, locking each of the remaining population into an interspecies territorial death game. Clark didn't ask to be drafted into the swarm, but it was another Monday morning to him. He had just finished his internship, only to find himself trapped inside a supermega world in a cyberpunk insect hive where basic survival requires mindless work and resisting mind-control broadcasts. He realizes quickly that the only way out is up, but three queen bees with some very human tendencies stand in his way to get to the top. To keep himself from becoming a plaything or worse, Clark needs to use all three of his now-separated brains to survive. After finding Aria, a reserve queen forced to work as a regular worker, and her two dysfunctional sisters, together they must build a plan in secret, and collect more allies. They have three months before the first Territorial Expansion of their shard happens, and they need to take down the three queens before the time runs out! Welcome to the hive. Try not to die on your first coffee break. {P.S. There is no sex described or anything like that. All scenes fade to black. Also, Art of cover was done with Midjourney because I am poor. If the book does good, I will pay for a cover.} In this book, you will find: 1. BEES! Bees and honey are a huge theme in this book, so there will be tons of fantasy varieties made from plants from earth, modified versions, and a few fantasy ones! 2. Animal accurate traits converted into human-sized interactions. This will lead to some very strange things!(Not all will be perfect, but I will do my best) 3. Swearing. There is a bit of cursing, but I try not to drown the book in it. 4. All kinds of humor in the book, but mostly cynical. 5. Harem. Yes there will be a harem, but it is very slowly and naturally built, but more like Release That Witch, where he only has one romantic relationship. 6. Grimdark. While there is a lot of humor, the book still has death and misery, but anything uncomfortable is glossed over. Humans are like the shades of colors in rainbows, and not all are bright. 7. System Menus. There are some, but I don’t use stat pages, and try to use them sparingly or gloss over things that aren’t important and just explain quickly in narration. My system is a bit different than most, but similar in the ways that count. 8. Pop-Culture YOU TO DEATH! Lol, I love pop-culture! So, unlike my book, Epic of Bees, you won’t find many puns, but there will be a ton of references to pop-culture, mythology, Canadian terms, and real world stuff! 9. Romance. There will be some romance, and emotional scene through character building of each of the character since the are all so dysfunctional. 10. Fighting vs Negotiating. There will be lots fighting, epic battles, and wars, but it is very slow at first. Most of the first book is building a team to get ready to challenge the queens, so expect a lot of interaction and world building at the start.

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.
