SAIKON

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

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.

Shadow Emperor

Immensely powerful yet wildly down-to-earth, Xylan Miirak has never been particularly interested in putting up a front- even with the responsibilities of ruling his people. No amount of politics, bureaucracy, or public perception stops him from unabashedly being himself at all times, for better or worse. For the past ten millennia, he’s been able to keep this up, no doubt in part due to his quick wit and unmatched power and skill as a Level 7 Kinetic Sorcerer. Despite having to worry about ruling an interstellar empire, Xylan still has to worry about things like being a husband, raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and generally finding time for a life outside of work. Unfortunately, his life is about to get a lot more interesting. The evil warlord Romulus has unleashed his merciless Kymaran hordes upon the Andromeda Galaxy, and Xylan’s people are first on his list. Apparently, he wasn’t busy enough already.

Shadows Of The Sun

Darkness enveloped humanity after the Great Wind tore away the firmament itself, stealing the sky and reshaping the world. Since then, survival has replaced history, and truth has become myth. No one remembers what the world looked like before the darkness. Only one name remains carved into every surviving settlement—House of White, the so-called saviors of humanity. Winter, an orphan raised in the ruins by Old Ren, knows nothing of the past. In the slums of a broken economy, he survives the only way he can: theft. Everything changes when a job leads him to steal from House of White. Instead of gold or relics, he ends up with something far more dangerous—Summer White, a runaway member of the ruling house. Now hunted by hidden organizations and entities known as Wraiths—beings that exist between life and death—Winter is forced into a role he never chose: protector. But survival comes at a cost. With a militant system awakening inside him and a failed encounter transforming his body into something inhuman, Winter becomes a new kind of Wraith. One they will come to fear. The Beast Wraith.

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE

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.
