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

They Have Magic, I Have NexusGPT: Modern Warfare in a Fantasy Realm

In his past life, Vane built a god. He created NexusGPT, an AI so advanced that even with heavy restrictions, his treacherous business partner used it to conquer most of the world within decades. Left with nothing but betrayal, Vane died and woke up in a fantasy realm. He didn't ask for legendary swords, divine blessings or cheat skills. He just wanted his creation back. Seeking a quiet, peaceful existence, Vane tried to build a simple life—a quiet house in the meadows. But this world is unforgiving and the cruelty of empires and mages tore that peace away. Now, Vane is tired. Tired of holding back. Tired of chasing a happiness that the universe refuses to give him. Armed with an AI that holds everything from basic carpentry to quantum mechanics, Vane realises something liberating: if magic bends reality, then being freed from a world with rigid laws of physics means he can rewrite the rules of nature entirely. While arrogant mages waste mana chanting to summon inefficient fireballs, Vane condenses superheated plasma into blinding laser beams that slice through armies. Why match their cavalry when you can rain hellfire from high-altitude aerial bombers? To finally secure the quiet life he desires, Vane will build an unassailable utopia. If he has to conquer every kingdom, crush every empire, unearth the origin of mana and control everything under the stars to secure it, so be it. What to Expect: - Weak to Strong MC who hides his true power. - Academy arcs filled with intrigue and rivalry. - Ruthless, smart and strategic protagonist. - Deep worldbuilding with various races, politics and mysteries. - Exploration of ancient ruins and forgotten secrets. - Powerful intelligent enemies and grand conflicts. - Diplomacy, romance, and wholesome moments. - Epic scale conflicts including a Demon King and wars. - Programming to create advanced magical weapons and tools. - Angels? Gods? ....Aliens?

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.

Not Quite Star Trek

A Man rides an experimental space ship engine that pushes him close to the speed of light, knowing he'll miss out on two hundred years before he returns to normal time. Turns out they invented warp drive like a week later, but he had become too valuable as a tourist attraction to pull him out of near light speed travel, so they just... didn't stop him until the ship stopped itself. He finds the future he arrives in not at all to his liking, so he goes for another round... and another... and another. Will he ever find the star trek future he's looking for? Or will he just meet strange new alien races, and try to bang them.

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)

Gematrail — Echo Observer — Lævateinn

There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.

The Smiling Sword

Diversity is humanity’s greatest weapon. A million minds, a million ways to survive, a million ways to die. But in the face of death, everyone unifies. Everyone begs the dark for a God. My name is Sword. It wasn’t always, but I now can’t remember what it was before the Facility took it. I was kidnapped from a normal life and thrown into a place built to grind people into weapons: trials, monsters, human hunters, and choices that rot your morals. Survive, and you earn another day. Fail, and you vanish. Now I’m a soldier with one purpose: war and slaughter. This is my story. (Dark Sci-fi Progression Fantasy)
