The greatest warrior is reborn as the lowest wastrel.

As the Sword Saint, the greatest swordmaster in the world, there was no place Roland couldn't go. No enemy he couldn't defeat. 

But pursuing strength above all else was not without consequences. The price of his power? Death at the hands of his brother, the last surviving member of his family.

Now reborn in the body of Rylan—the greatest shame of the Flameheart family—Roland refuses to waste his second chance. He already had the capability and the drive, but now he also has the wisdom and knowledge of what is truly important. He won't forsake his family again.

Reaching the peak will be easy. Doing so while remaining true to his newfound convictions will be much harder.

There's just one problem—the criminal underworld won't let their biggest customer go so easily.

What to expect:
. Reincarnation LitRPG

. Swordsman MC in a world of magic, but he'll also learn some magic, especially later on

. Strong to OP progression

. Third person

. Not a murderhobo

. There will likely be some romance in the future. No harem

* Daily chapters while still in Rising Stars

Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells, pushing the boundaries of mana's infinite possibilities. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear until that fateful day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal’mohra, and triggered The Breaking – a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world. 

Saved by her mother’s legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew and loved is gone, buried under a mountain, transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich. 

Now, Ali must confront her deepest fears, mastering the arts of battling monsters and braving a town riddled with corruption. As the Lich's grand design shadows her every move, she scrambles to forge new friendships and unearth ancient knowledge in her fight for survival. 

Why must she struggle? All she had ever wanted was to curl up in a comfy chair with a few thousand good books. But the immortal Lich is drawn to her unique magic, ever hungry for more power to fuel his cold-hearted ambitions. 

How will she survive the giant target painted on her back as her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to save herself? Will she falter, forced into the eternal servitude of undeath, or will she rise against all odds and cast him down, ridding the world of his evil?

Release Schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.

Patreon has +30 additional chapters.

What to expect:

- LitRPG elements cover classes, skills, monsters, enchantments, and items. Stat blocks appearing at the end of chapters are generally considered informational and can be skipped if desired.
- Multiple POVs as we follow Ali and her friends on their adventures.
- Heavy focus on Group and Raid dungeon combat inspired by games like WoW, PoE, and Diablo.
- Some profanity, lots of gore, a touch of humor
- No romance.
- This is not a traditional dungeon core story with a fixed consciousness plotting levels in a hole.

Jiang Cheng is just another outer disciple in the vast Falling Star Sect, struggling for every scrap of progress in a world where talent and resources dictate one's fate. But he is not just another cultivator. Strange subconscious thoughts, remnants of another life, whisper ideas foreign to this world, guiding his every step. Combined with his sharp perception and unyielding determination, In a sect where the strong trample the weak, can he turn these vague memories and instincts into true strength, or will he remain just another ant beneath their feet?

And more importantly. Will he find out about the truth of these distant thoughts?


What to expect:

Solitude. Cheng will for the majority of the story will be alone. Cultivation is supposed to be a lonely thing, but you don't really feel like the characters are alone for the long periods of time they are described to go into seclusion. You don't really get this feeling from most cultivation novels, and that is something I want to change.

Nonstandard cultivation. Names aside, the stages are quite different than what one usually expects.

No Unearned power boosts. I will try and make sure the power increases feel earned. No heavenly boons around here. ...Most of the time.

Slow burn. This novel will be big and lengthy. If you came here for interactions between characters, You'd best wait for Arc/Book two. or skip it. But then again, you'd miss on the first step of Cheng's journey. The point is that it will take time. And as I mentioned above, Cheng will spend a great majority of his life, being alone, because that is how he is as a person, and the fact that cultivators have to spend time alone in closed door cultivation.

Steven awakens to a nightmare. Transported to a brutal medieval kingdom on a faraway world, he wakes up as Kivamus, the exiled third son of a Duke.

Now he's the newly made Baron of a crumbling village called Tiranat, in a bandit-ridden frontier located within untamed forests. Here, survival is a daily battle, resources are scarce, and technology is a distant dream.

Yet, he sees potential where the villagers only see struggle. He dreams of using his knowledge to forge a new future for Tiranat, a future fueled by industry.

But the path to progress is not going to be easy. Managing a starving village in the coming winter and navigating the cut-throat world of medieval nobility is just the beginning.

This is a slow-progression kingdom-builder story, with a lot of focus on worldbuilding and eventually, industrialization and tech-uplifting. The story is going to be very, very long. Settle in for a slow-burn slice of life, where the journey is just as important as the destination. Welcome aboard!

** Readers can expect slice of life, moments of darkness, tears of joy and hints of recklessness. And even more slice of life and drama!

** Story updates 5 times a week on Patreon and 4 times a week on RR (Mon-Tue-Thurs-Fri at 2:30 pm UTC). 

Alex was just trying to escape his dead-end job and overbearing family. Then the System arrived, bringing with it magic, Rifts, and the chance for ordinary people to become extraordinary. Unfortunately for Alex, his stats started out as unimpressive as his old life. But when he gains the unique trait {Primordial Will}, which only allows him to put his free points into one stat, everything changes—though not necessarily for the better.

This is a slow burn story with Alex learning a lot about magic, himself, and his friends. There are moments that just show normal life, and some that feel like there is no direction or plot at all. There are some very high-octane, adventure moments where the numbers go way up, and there are also some losses that aren't going to feel great. Losses happen and mistakes are made, but our MC will continue to grow stronger. 

This series follows Alex as he begins to master the art of Mana Threads and creates a revolutionary new magic system with Spell Circles. He starts to realize that magic isn’t just a tool—it’s a path to power that few can fully grasp. But with the world’s governments struggling to contain the rising number of superhuman threats, Alex will have to navigate more than just monsters and Rifts. In a world where “might makes right,” who really calls the shots?

What to expect:

- Slow story by RR standards
- The "stuck in a Rift arc" is about 20 chapters and has Xianxia elements
- A realistic take on how Earth adapts to System integration.
- Weak to Strong to Godlike MC
- A unique magic system creation, blending rituals and runes to create Spell Circles. (This happens gradually over the first two books. Then he uses it for the rest of the series.)
- After Book One, there are a lot of party dynamics, creating a large cast of characters.

Chapters are 3000 words on average, with three chapters released weekly.

I had finally done it and achieved the ultimate Paladin build. Maxed stats, impenetrable armor, and so many resistances that death itself had given up on me. I was an unkillable tank, an indomitable force. Nothing could stop me.

And then my PC exploded.

I died.

Irony, thou art a cruel mistress.

But instead of the afterlife, I woke up as my Paladin character… in the wrong freaking genre. Instead of castles and dungeons, there were people flying around on swords, shooting qi beams like fantasy laser guns.

“This is definitely the wrong genre,” I muttered, watching a pompous young master sneer at me.

“Kowtow, kiss my foot, and beg for forgiveness!” he declared.

I looked at my imaginary maxed-out health bar, then at his flimsy silk robes.

Oh, this was going to be fun.

The last thing that Miles remembered was getting hit by a truck before finding himself in the body of a toddler in a world of Pokemon.

After deciding that he would embrace his new lease on life. Miles would go on to live life as Nina Jones, an uncannily bright child who dreams of going out into the wider world to explore unknown domains and make friends with various Pokemon.

Join Nina in her journey as she endeavours to learn more about this mysterious world of Pokemon, meet new people and maybe even experience some Legendary encounters along the way.

- Slow burn. (MC will mostly stay in Kanto until Part Three.)

- Focus on world building.

- Slice of life with a healthy mix of action and drama.

Note that I'm not a huge fan of EVs, stats and all the sweatier elements of competitive Pokemon play. Which is why you'll find that my depiction of Pokemon might go against these game mechanics at times.

I also take a lot of liberties when it comes to established Pokemon lore whenever I feel like it makes sense. So don't be surprised that my rendition of this world is different from the games and animes either.

Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead, he woke up in a nightmare.

Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class—Healer.

That’s when things start feeling… off.

He’s leveling way too fast. His so-called “support” class? Feels anything but weak. And his only ally? A too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal.

Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

Mechanics fix things.

Fighters break ‘em.

Those were the two truths Perry lived back on Earth. When he got isekai’d into a young noble with newfound magical powers, he found himself stuck with an awful choice. Try to survive on the Front, the mystical battleground where Hydras and Devils roamed free… Or find another way.

So he took an oath. An oath that made him a Magus Dominus. A mage lord. He’d escaped his fate, least for the moment.

For most his life, Perry was used to being alone. When he got sucked into Ro'an, he was suddenly thrust into the role of surrogate son to his loyal servant and half-brother to a tempestuous Storm mage. With their help, Perry prepared his best to be lord and protector for his domain. And if he fought a few monsters, and helped a few people along the way, well…

Mechanics fix things. And fighters break ‘em.

-Progression Fantasy with light LitRPG elements
-No romance
-Kingdom building and magic progression

My previous story, the Forerunner Initiative, is available on Amazon KU and Audible.

A master of Chakra Cultivation sacrifices everything - only to be reborn with a second chance.

After giving his life to save his world, Alaric awakens in the body of a child. In this new realm where power is measured in tiers, bloodlines, and the strength of one's oaths, Chakra Cultivation is an unknown path.

As Alaric purifies his chakras, each one unlocking profound abilities across body, mind, and soul, he gains an edge no native warrior can match. 

But his true test awaits in the Tower of Trials—a rite of passage for the world's young elites, offering immense rewards to those who can climb its treacherous heights. No one has ever reached its highest levels.

If mastering his reborn powers wasn't hard enough, his journey will forge a bond with an entity of unimaginable strength - and lead him to lands where no mortal has dared to tread.

Posting Schedule: 5x/week M-F 

Launch Schedule: 7 days a week for the first month

What to expect:

- Weak to strong male MC

- Steady progression from childhood to adulthood with clear power milestones

- Unique cultivation system (Chakra-based) and Tier-based Power Progression

- Tower climbing and intense Trials

- Expansive worldbuilding that will span vast empires, perilous dungeons, chaotic rifts, and intricate webs of guilds, political factions, sects, and cults.

- No romance or harem

A progression fantasy adventure blending Isekai, light LitRPG elements, and deep cultivation lore, with an intricate world of politics, factions, and power struggles.

He wakes up in a universe he knows all too well—a nightmare given form, where war never ends and survival is a fleeting privilege. He’s read the lore, studied the factions, memorized the fates of empires. But knowing doesn’t mean controlling.

Thrown into the lowest depths of this brutal reality, he refuses to be just another forgotten soul ground to dust. He watches, learns, adapts. Strength is the only currency here, and he intends to amass more than anyone—more than the warriors, the psykers, the so-called gods.

Not for power. Not for survival. For something beyond all of it.

Something greater than this universe itself.

A litrpg kingdom builder set in a cultivation world.

After meeting Truck-kun, Benton, a grandfather and an overall nice man, is transmigrated into the body of Chao Su in a brutal, might-makes-right cultivation world.

Things could be worse. He is given choices that come with neat advantages, and his career in middle management gives him ample experience leading people. Those skills should translate to running a sect.

Unfortunately, things aren't that simple. Benton quickly realizes that his plan to let his recruits fight for him won't work. He'll need to get up to speed on life in a cultivation world fast because danger is on the way. A beast tide threatens his new territory. Rival sects don't like the balance of power being upset. Worse, the demonic cultivators that destroyed Chao Su's prior sect are still out there.

A/N - Apologies, but I do not do shoutout swaps.

What to Expect:

- This is not a cultivation story. The MC cannot cultivate and advances through cultivation realms by earning points from the System.

- No artificial emphasis.

- The MC makes decisions based on empathy and emotions, treating his sect members like he's their doting grandfather. He's not a typical Xianxia protagonist.

- No sexual content or a harem.

- M-W-F-Sa-Su with occasional bonus chapters

- Average Chapter Length = Approximately 2,000 Words

- MC goes from weak to strong to OP.

- Though the story is not a comedy, the tone is mostly light, and it contains humorous elements.

- There is some romance between side characters. There are no current plans for the MC to have a love interest. Just to be clear (and I'm only mentioning this because it's the internet and ... people), there is absolutely no possibility that the sixty-year-old isekai'd protagonist will develop a romantic relationship with any of his teenage disciples. He views them as his grandkids.

- Minor swearing occasionally.

Betrayed. Alone. Forced to survive the deadliest dungeon in the universe. As a Farmer.

Tulland dreamed of adventure.

To be someone who sees every-place, goes every-where, and does every-thing.

All he wanted was to go beyond the confines of his tiny island. So, when the Church denied him a class, he turned to the only other being that could grant him his wish; The System.

And the System delivered. Tulland got a Class, but not one he ever wished for. Awakening as a Farmer, he finds himself in the one place where he can grow away from the clutches of the Church — The Infinite; a dungeon whose end even heroes of old have never seen. Armed with what dregs of power the System deigned to give him, Tulland will have to figure out how to survive, and cultivate, the universe’s deadliest dungeon.

Rising up from the dirt, a mistake of the Gods finds itself in a brutal world of monsters and madmen. With a ruined body and memories that lay shattered within its mind, the Dirtborn crawls across the demented landscape, seeking answers about its identity and the world that has become so starkly different from what its recollections once revealed.

What to expect:
-Weak to absurdly OP progression
-Friendly blue screens with stats and stuff
-Non human main character who is pretty much just a Dark Souls boss

-New Chapters up daily!

BOOK 2: War Academy, Ongoing.

Read up to ten chapters ahead on my PATREON.

For some wizards, Intelligence is just a dump stat.

Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low. He lost his job, his fiancée dumped him, he moved back to the Midwest and currently lives in his parent’s basement—oh, and his workout was just interrupted with the arrival of the System.

Earth has become a playing field in a contest amongst the gods, where mortals are the pawns. The winning god gets the glory, and their chosen champion gets a single wish. The first stage of this game: Tutorial – Class Selection.

Provided the ideal stat array for a physical, combat-focused class, the choice for Joe is obvious. Until he fat thumbs the selection screen and ends up selecting Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat? 1.

With a useless class selection and only his raw testosterone-fueled strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. Pumping all stat points in Strength, he hopes to not only survive the contest of the gods, but to win the whole damned thing.

After all, a real wizard should be measured by how much they can bench!

It's the end of the world, and all Dave wanted to do was eat his eggs in peace. Now, thanks to a talking bird, he's in another universe with only a few years to either become powerful enough on his own to save his home or to find some help to do so. Desperate to understand the rules of the world he now occupies while the System pushes him into dangerous experiments, Dave, with the help of some new friends, will do whatever is necessary to save his home and family.

Even if he succeeds, that's only the beginning.

When a Great House falls, chaos follows.

Rowan watched as a betrayal from within destroyed everything he’d ever known, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His home burned as an Archdemon ravaged their lands, summoned into the very seat of their power by forces unknown. Unawakened—without access to the System and its boons—Rowan was left as the only survivor of a magical lineage spanning millennia.

Resigned to a life of obscurity and bitterness, he could only watch as the other Great Houses carved up their lands and fought over the carcass that was once his home. Yet in the end, that obscurity saved him.

On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened.

Granted a [Trait] of unknown power, a [Title] of unimaginable weight, and an [Item] of untold worth, he leaves the dangerous north and takes the first step on his Path. But even on the other side of the Kingdom, the echoes of his past linger. The passes his family defended were left unguarded for too long. And now, the ever encroaching Wilds threaten more than just the north.

Follow Rowan’s story as he attempts to master his magic, fight against the largest monster surge in generations, and hopefully, uncover the truth behind the fall of his House.

What to expect:

[+] Strong MC who earns his progression.

[+] Competent MC who doesn't rely on brute force to solve his problems.

[+] An expansive world with a System-based power progression.

[+] A fleshed-out supporting cast.

[+] Magic, monsters, and adventure.

Adrian was born a couple hundred years too late to witness humans ruling the stars. The days of relentless scientific advancement are long gone. Humanity’s former cradle has become the birthplace of nightmares, so Adrian lives on a world far from Terra.

But Adrian has a secret. His eyes are failing him, and in this age, blindness means death. When the chance arrives to earn a couple quick credits for a new pair of cybernetic eyes, he jumps on it. Only, Adrian gets more than he bargained for. With a slew of gangs, corpos, and a ruthless scientist now on his tail, he needs to do his best to survive and keep their hands off the prototype tech stuck inside of his skull.

Oh, and his new eyes are making him see horrors beyond mortal comprehension, but no biggie… right?

Expect:

+ A world where sci-fi meets eldritch nightmares, and everyone is worse off
+ A determined MC who’s out to make life better
+ A unique cyberpunk/eldritch world
+Daily 2k+ chapters

What NOT to Expect:

- A story where MC has tons of plot armor
- A story where only the MC is capable of using his head
- Cardboard side characters

Adam is no one special. He’s just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning, because his craving for Jameson’s croissants finally broke him. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for him, as the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries.

The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance. They’ve decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity’s future is at stake and it’s all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. After all, he’s no one special.

Despite it all, he overcomes the first Stage. He attains some measure of power and then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it.

Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies.

What to expect:
- Timeloops (no two loops the same)
- Weak-to-Strong Protagonist
- Clear Progression
- Roguelite-inspired GameLit (meta upgrades, etc.)
- The existential horror inherent to time-travelling
- Huge build variety (Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, etc.)
- Meta upgrades and recurring characters

New chapters every Monday & Friday
Bonus chapter at every 500-follower milestone

Inspired by Korean SysApocs like ‘Master Hunter K’, and by Action Roguelite games such as ‘Hades’ and ‘The Binding of Isaac’

I have a Discord group where you can connect with other readers of my stories.

Virus Adaptation: Success. Hibernation Stage Initialization: Failed. Activating Emergency Breakout Stage.
Stand by…

The world didn’t go out in a bang as everyone expected. No, what the Universe offered them instead was a slow suffocation—a long fight for survival against monsters and others like them.

Isaac experienced it all from the beginning. While the world scrambled to understand the Contamination Zones slowly overtaking the Earth, he, like some others, fought for his life, trying to embrace the Virus that had now become a part of him.

Origins, Legacies, attributes, and so much more—familiar terms that meant little at first. But that quickly changed. Humanity adapted, monsters died, and Isaac?

For the first time in his life, he was searching. Searching for a purpose. Searching for a goal.

And if that journey began with hundreds of monsters lying dead at his feet… so be it.

May the rivers run red. 

What to expect (Beware of small spoilers):
-A System with less numbers but still plenty of progression.
-A conflict much deeper than just the initial apocalypse
-Tourney between newly integrated planets to find out who will live.
-Strong-willed MC. A person with strengths but also some issues. Bit of a battle maniac but not a murderhobo.
-Not so weak to Stronger
-No harem, or VR.

Release schedule: Hopefully, daily for the first month. After that probably 5 chapters per week.

What would you do if your entire world were turned on its head?

A Primordial System buzzing in everyone’s heads, displaying strange screens and other displays in their visions.

Being thrown into a tutorial before entering your first System Event broadcast across the universe.

Returning back to your home after the System Event to realize that it’s been filled with Gates leading to monster-filled domains, a good number of which have already broken and released their monsters into the world.

And learning that the abilities every human being has – abilities that have led to the current structure of society – are nothing but the root of their Skill Trees. The very first skill in their Skill Tree out of many.

Well, Ashley doesn’t know. She doesn’t remember anything other than some basic common knowledge from before waking up at the start of the tutorial with amnesia.

So why should this change anything for her?

Other than her finding out about the blood bestowed upon her by a certain primordial and her own Skill Tree.

One with just a single skill.

A skill to unlock the skill trees of those she kills.

To assimilate.

What to expect: Skill Trees, LitRPG Apocalypse, Skill Tree Assimilator(the ability to take the skill trees of those the MC kills that she can unlock through Skill Points without getting the skills right away), Livestreamed Dungeons, Livestreamed Public Battles and Events, Chaos Magic, Varied Magic due to Skill Tree Assimilator, and the MC does not start off strong in the start and only grows strong as she assimilates more skills from those she kills, the MC starts out without any memories and few emotions and slowly gains them throughout the series.

What not to expect: I do not write romance(for the main protagonist), there will be no harem, there will be no reverse harem, and do not expect a really strong MC at the start of the story as she has to grow into that role.

She's a bunny. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve.

Elise was always made fun of for her big ears and buck teeth. She tried her best to overcome the mockery, only to work herself to death and wake up as... a big-eared, buck-toothed rabbit.

Now, with nothing but an almost worthless System Assistant to help her, she needs to survive in a world full of magic and monsters. On top of all that, for some reason she's been given the ominous {Mark of Fate} skill. She has no idea what it does, but things keep happening to her, most of them unpleasant. From little slimes to giant wolves, everything seems to want her dead, and in her efforts to escape them, she winds up in a complicated situation that she is in no way qualified to resolve.

Can she navigate this new world that seems to have it out for her specifically?

What to expect:

- MC is actually a rabbit (at least in the beginning)

- No romance

- A main character with more brains than brawn

- Monster Evolution with a System

- Character-driven plot

- LitRPG with few stat blocks

- An early politics arc

- Not mainly SoL. It has SoL sections, but is not primarily SoL

- MC is explicitly trying to gain a human form

When Chen Ren transmigrated as a trouble-making young master in a world of cultivation overrun by sects, beasts and clans full of murderous people, he wanted nothing to do with it. 

He simply wanted to make money. 

After all, even in a world of magical murderhobos, money reigned supreme.

Ignoring the numerous martial daos, he chose the dao of money which lets him reach higher cultivation realms, the better his businesses do. Using his brains and earthly knowledge, he build businesses and acquire resources to reach immortality. 

But before that, he had to deal with a mountain of debt, the cultivators who wanted to kill him and deciding on his first business idea.

***

What to expect -

1. Lots of businesses and mc getting rich. 

2. A highly competent main character. 

3. An interesting Cultivation journey. 

4. Mysteries. 

5. Face slapping.

6. Sect building.

7. Cats.

8. Average 3k words chapters

What not to expect -

1. Harem 

2. Not cats

Chu Xuan traversed the Mystic Azure Realm and became a demonic cultivator in the Infinite Sect. To cultivate as a demonic cultivator means to plunder the essence of the heavens and earth and seize the quintessence of all things. One has to slaughter countless beings to rise as a supreme demon lord. 

However, such killing was intolerable under the heavenly Dao of the human race. Consequently, the Infinite Sect was annihilated by the orthodox sects. In desperation, Chu Xuan stumbled upon a Blood Mirror, which allowed him to travel to a post-apocalyptic planet overrun with zombies! 

He realized that this place was a perfect sanctuary exclusively for demonic cultivators! If he dared to sacrifice a million humans, the heavenly laws would strike him with thunder and burn him to ashes. But if he sacrificed a million zombies, not only would he face no disasters, but he would also be showered with golden blossoms, enveloped in glorious light, and blessed with merits!

---------

What to expect:

No romance

Worlds traveler and broker

Demonic cultivation with great merit

Multiple ways of cultivation: Gu insects, puppets, pill and tool refining

RELEASE SCHEDULE -  Book 1,2 & 3complete. 3 chapters a week (50k words per month.)

This is a unique premise, LitRPG Reincarnation with weaponised luck. The million best tutorial performers join a competition for the future of humanity.

The series will be slow burn with a male MC and written from a single unreliable narrator POV.

My writing has been described as putting the Lit back into LITRPG.

Blurb.

The offer of reincarnation had shocked Tom.

Especially the chance to continue as a human. But guilt plagued him and a terrible fear.

What happened if his new life was one spent witnessing the decline of humanity? Experiencing his species’ extinction? A life spent being continually reminded of his failure. The logical part knew he had made one mistake, a single miscalculation and he shouldn’t blame himself for that, but being human meant that logic did not rule him absolutely.

But he had a choice, and so Tom took it. He would only be reincarnated if he had a chance to make a difference.

Now he was alive again in a four-year-old’s body. The competition was still running and just like in his worst nightmares humanity was losing.

He had thirty-five years to make a difference, but ten of those would be stuck as a child where he would be unable to kill for experience, where he would be blocked from the experience shop, the GOD’s store and the auction houses. A period where any power would have to be earned by creating spells and skills from scratch. An impossibility for most species, but after his first lives Tom knew how the system worked. He knew how to exploit the loopholes, how to abuse the fate mechanism to make the impossible just another day.

And that’s what he would do. He would grow himself and others and then he would challenge the champions of the other gods and win the competition, so when the billions of humans from earth came out of stasis, they would not be doomed.

What to expect?

This is a non-traditional blend of regressor and reincarnation with a weak to strong MC.

It is inspired by Primal Hunter, Elydes and Reborn Apocalypse, but is unique. 

The series will invoke emotions, the thrill of discovery, the fear of imminent death and the triumph over adversity.  

This is a new series based on Fate Points.

How’s a tattoo artist supposed to survive the apocalypse?

Tanya Angelo knows how to handle herself—life in London’s East End taught her that much. But gang trouble, crushing debt, and the odd creepy client don’t exactly prepare you for the end of the world.

Now monsters are spilling through portals, Earth-themed magic is awakening in random people, and Tanya’s hearing a voice in her head calling itself The System. It’s chosen her for a powerful Unique Class: Tattoo Summoner. 

Not only does it allow her to craft new summonable tattoos, it also brings all her previous designs to life. And she can’t control any of them. 

That’s the funny thing about getting a Class in this new world: you can start with control or power, but not both.

What to Expect:

- Mixture of action and crafting magic tattoos

Mark Careed dreamed of being a hero ever since he was 8 years old. Of fighting monsters outside the city walls, of going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, of either killing kaijus himself or being up there in the thick of it, with the real heroes. Mark is almost 18 now, close to taking the real Tutorial and Awakening his Power, and achieving that dream.

But his hopes and plans fell through when the False Tutorial estimated his future Power as a brawny. A simply stronger human. This should have come as no surprise. 90% of humans on Earth Awaken as brawnies.

Mark doesn’t want to be a basic brawny. He wants to be something more.

He needs to do something big to change his fate.

Something drastic.

Something like seeking help from an archmage, a true Hero of Humanity.

If you like Ar’Kendrithyst, Super Supportive, or Changeling, you might like Adamant Blood.

Adamant Blood is a story of exploration, slice of life, kaijus, magic, other worlds, trauma, superheroes, adventure, and growth.

Book 1 finished!

When Fate itself fails to kill him, even the gods should tremble.

Taliesin knows all about apocalyptic wars—he was supposed to die in one, sacrificing himself so his people could escape. Instead, he found himself lost within the Void beyond time and space, a realm untouched by creation yet bound by Fate itself. He's no longer just a wizard; he's glimpsed the Akashic Records—the foundations of reality—and understood the secrets that grant gods their life and mortals their power.

But even the Void couldn't contain him forever. Pulled into a new world spiraling toward its own Ragnarok, Taliesin refuses to let another civilization burn. With nothing but his wits and fragments of his former might, he must reclaim his strength, forge powerful alliances, and rewrite destiny before the Twilight of the Gods consumes all.

Taliesin has defied death, shattered destiny, and now, he’ll challenge the gods themselves—because his new world is worth saving, no matter the cost.

A gripping Strong-to-Stronger progression fantasy featuring an archmage who transcends the limits of magic itself.

While most cultivators were scratching their heads as they pondered how to advance to the next realm, Li Lang was busy systematically studying the mechanics of cultivation.

Scientist Langley Seiker has always dreamed about immortality. Reincarnating into a world of cultivation, it is no longer a dream except for the fact that he has no talent. However, through a chance encounter, he gains access to his familiar laboratory that will allow him to study the wonders of cultivation.

Not even the heavens will know what fate has in store for Langley as he systematically unravels not only how to cultivate, but also various crafts such as refining pills and inscribing talismans. Preparation is key to surviving in the merciless world of cultivation, especially for those with no talent.

Expectations:

- Detailed study of each stage of cultivation and crafting

- Not technology vs cultivation, scientific method will be used to study cultivation

- No harem

- Slow burn progression. MC won’t be skipping through cultivation ranks at record speed

- Weak to Strong

- Sect Building (Much later in the story)

A Low-Stakes, Cozy, Slice-Of-Life World-Hopping Adventure

John, a 37-year-old widower, is feeling lost. Grief, regrets, and the weight of the past make him long for something new, something different. So when he finds a way to travel between worlds using dimensional Gates, he takes it. A bit of research, a bit of training, and he’s off.

Sure, his class has the potential to be overpowered, but he’s not in it for fights, fame, or power. He’s here to breathe again. To heal. To see what else is out there. He moves at his own pace, helps out when he wants—sometimes as a healer, sometimes as something else—and keeps track of it all in a sort of diary. It’s more about the journey than the destination. About magic, new places, and figuring out how to live again.

This isn’t some dark, gritty tale full of battles or world-ending stakes. It’s about traveling with friends. Awkward conversations, food, understanding magic, and way too much shopping. It’s about the little things that make life worth it—and how even small discoveries can change everything.

Scattered through the story are short side stories—glimpses into other worlds, other travelers, or the consequences of his actions. They all circle back eventually, adding layers to John’s path and filling in the bigger picture, one quiet step at a time.

Book 1: Shimoor
The first book follows John’s journey in Shimoor, a low-mana world with a medieval society where magic is barely noticeable. This “tutorial world” provides John with the calm, slow pace he needs to begin his journey, allowing him to adjust to the freedom of world-hopping without pressure or danger.

Book 2: Back on Earth
In the second book, John returns to Earth. With fresh eyes and a traveler’s mindset, he experiences Earth like a new world, focusing on friendship and personal growth. This time, he reconnects with the marvels of Earth—exploring familiar places as though they are foreign. A significant portion of the story focuses on John’s adventures in shopping, discovering new things to buy, and indulging in what Earth has to offer. Yes, John does a lot of shopping.

Book 3: Lumis
The third book takes John to Lumis, a medium-mana world with dungeons and captivating places. For the first time, he travels purely for the sake of exploration, eager to experience a new world and its mysteries, without any specific goal other than discovery and enjoyment.

Book 4: Zindor - Spoils of a Shattered World

Recently integrated, Zindor is a dangerous world where uncleared dungeons and unchecked monsters dominate the wilds. People live in fear, sheltered behind fortified walls, as a tense political landscape adds to the chaos. John and his friends must navigate not only the deadly wilderness but also the volatile politics of the cities, where every decision could mean the difference between survival and disaster in this unforgiving world.

So kick back, relax with a coffee or snack, and take a break from reality. Join John, the Gate Traveler, on a never-ending vacation.

Release Schedule: Five chapters a week, Sunday to Thursday, at 16:00 +3 GMT.

Comments and corrections are welcomed and appreciated. I always want to hear what you think😊.

The main protagonist is unable to die. They can be captured and sealed away, but they cannot die. Do not read if you want the protagonist to be able to die.

Death is an inevitability for all except Aria.

Something she knows all too well.

In a world locked in war, with the majority of its continents already wiped out before the signing of the Great Treaty banning strategic level weaponry and magic, Aria Crimson finds herself lost. Treated as a weapon by the military since she was young, she has almost forgotten what it was like to not be at war.

But when a strange looking screen similar to those of the newly created devices known as computers appears in front of every last person on the planet, things change.

Every human on the planet is given a class and a way to level their class. Given a new way to power outside of just their natural-born abilities.

But along with the power comes the invaders. Humans from another world declaring war on their world, trying to take it for their own.

Now, after ten years of fighting, Aria finally has a way out of the war. One that involves even more fighting.

How will the world react to the changes, to the invaders, and to the power granted to them?

And how will the only True Immortal in the universe, one dubbed by the System as Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse despite the irony, choose to proceed?

Join Aria as she figures that out for herself.

What to expect:

~ A relatively laid back true immortal protagonist who cannot die.

~ Written mostly in first person Point of View.

~ The first world in the series with a level of technology equivalent to the 1950s.

~ A world where people have a chance to be born with an ability.

~ The world suddenly being initiated into a System upon the invasion of another world's people.

~ No romance.

~ Guns used as weapons in this story instead of just being dropped like many LitRPGs do.

~ A protagonist who travels across a lot of worlds in their immortal life, slowly growing stronger throughout it with lots of time skips.

~ Book 1 is largely introductory into the universe and characters with book 2 truly getting into what the story will be like.

Chapters are generally between 1.4-2.3k words. The first chapters will be even longer.

I am not currently publishing this Novel anywhere. Not on Amazon or any other similar website.

Thea has always dreamt of joining the United Human Federation marine corp, ever since she was saved by one of their marines at a young age in the Undercity of Lumiosia.

Growing up in an undercity meant however, especially in a mid-world such as Lumiosia, that she would have to work her way up from the very bottom. She would need to leave for one of the inner or core worlds, before she had any chance of applying to the UHF marines, but for that, she needed credits.

Having spent a lot of time in the local arcade for many years, she had accumulated a lot of technical knowledge in repairing the old-tech machines, as well as gained a high proficiency in a lot of the simulators and games featured.

Preparing for the monthly reset day, in which the ladders for each game get updated by the local quantum node and prizes are distributed for the top performers, she never would have anticipated a brand new challenge appearing from thin air.

A challenge which changed the path of her life forever...

The Allbright System is an Epic Sci-Fi Progression LitRPG, heavily focused on war and the military complex as a whole. It is my first publicly published Webnovel, so I am very much looking forward to read all of your feedback and suggestions.

As the name suggests, there will be a System that governs the major progression and LitRPG elements of the story.

The main draw of this story will be the way that the System interacts with each faction in the war for the galaxy, as each faction gets a unique system-trait for themselves. The nature of the traits is to be a secret until further on in the story, but rest assured that they fundamentally change the way that war in this galaxy is waged.

Before you start reading this story, please be aware that this will not be a short one.

I prefer long, expansive stories that span thousands of pages, in order to fully tell the story I intend to tell.

The Prologue Arc itself, which culminates in the System integration, will be 21 Chapters long (around 300-350~ pages on RR), so if you are looking for a quick and short read, this story will not be for you.

For everyone else, I hope you will enjoy this length journey alongside me. I plan to give readers the option to choose on developments for the story or characters at later stages, where it makes sense, so please look forward to the reader polls at those times.

A major inspiration for this Webnovel is Duck_No_Duck's "Digital Marine", which unfortunately has been on a lengthy hiatus.

Further inspirations (more minor in scope, mostly regarding the litRPG and System elements) include, but aren't limited to, Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar and Beneath the Dragoneye Moons by Selkie.

Highly recommend you check them all out, if you're enjoying this story!

Carlos was an ordinary software engineer on Earth, up until he died and found himself in a fantasy world of dungeons, magic, and adventure. This new world offers many fascinating possibilities, but it's unfortunate that the skills he spent much of his life developing will be useless because they don't have computers.

Wait, why does this spell incantation read like a computer program's source code? Magic is programming?

Updates weekly on Tuesday.

In the year 3027 humanity makes a breakthrough, the first interdimensional portal to another world is opened, and a candidate is sent through. 

He died immediately upon arrival. 

It is now the year 3047, and humanity prepares to send a second candidate, this time equipped with the tools and equipment necessary to survive in this hostile world. A world of wizards and sorcery, fueled by an energy previously unknown to science: mana. An energy which proves to be deadly to the human body.  

Emma Booker is a 19 year old ROTC candidate chosen for this task, to fulfill the requirements set by this magical realm known only as The Nexus, as they demand a college-age candidate enroll in a magical academy. The candidate will be tested and assessed to prove their worth, and by extension, the worth of their home realms.  

Yet all is not as it seems, and there is more lurking underneath this bright and fantastical world of High Fantasy. 

Challenges will befall Emma as she navigates everything from ancient magical conspiracies, to political intrigue amongst her noble peers. She will face threats both existential, and personal.

Even the act of eating and drinking will prove to be a major challenge, as she has to do all of this whilst trapped inside a suit of power armor designed to protect her from the dangers of mana. 

Armed with a sidearm, a laser cannon, a railgun, and raw human wit bolstered by an AI, Emma will have to choose between a careful balance of strength and diplomacy to see herself through her first year at the Transgracian Academy for the Magical Arts.

Alt title: How to Dragon 101

Her body's a riddle, each hunt and every morsel devoured reveals another piece.

Magic, the currency of power in every corner of the world—pity poor Jade was born without a shred of it. No mana veins, no core to speak of, and as if that weren’t dire enough, she had the audacity to be half beast-kin. Scorn, ridicule, and outright bullying became her daily companions. That is, until one glorious day when she found herself kidnapped by a cult and tossed headfirst into some dodgy ritual.

Naturally, things went pear-shaped. But with chaos comes change—not just skin-deep, of course. Now a dragonling, her body has become a lethal, upgradeable weapon, and her mind? That’s a different battlefield entirely. And someone really ought to explain why the thrill of the hunt sends her pulse racing... and why, for the love of all things sacred, do those blasted monsters taste so irresistibly good?

What to expect:

- A monster evolution system, with Skills, Magic and Mutations
- This is a weak to strong story and Protagonist needs to sharpen her skills instead of just making numbers go up.
- Combat, power-ups, unique skills and mutation merges for powerful abilities

Current update schedule: 2/3 times a week (temp.)

The world had changed when the System arrived, alongside the Cataclysm that filled the world with monsters. The technology was gone, replaced by classes and skills that allowed the people to fight back. 

When Devon ended up as a Blacksmith, a class that didn't grant Intelligence, he had to face the reality, that his old career that he loved - mathematical sociologist - was over. Instead, he had ended up as yet another discarded member of the production class, overshadowed by the existence of the System Shops to the point of total marginalization. 

But, what if all he needed was to reapply his scientific thinking to the System...

The schedule will be 5 chapters a week, from Monday to Friday. 

Riding out the apocalypse on a tropical island isn't exactly a vacation. When mana arrives on Earth, Coop finds himself isolated in paradise with only one real option to survive. He needs to claim a civilization shard and level up. 

Coop maximizes his chances by carefully selecting a class and committing to progression. He’ll need to grind thousands of monsters to compete on the system's leaderboards while upgrading his settlement to represent the factionless.

~3,000 word chapters uploaded Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Archie Gracefield was an average computer engineer, who was just about to head to the gym on a Saturday afternoon when the integration of the 72^nd cycle began. Introducing Archie's universe into the multiverse, where power is a necessity to protect your freedoms from those who wish to take them. And take it they shall.

Archie delves headfirst into the multiverse, choosing to forgo the Group Tutorial over the Solo Tutorial. Now, he must fight tooth and nail to survive in a world where roided-up squirrels are a common sight, and gargantuan creatures are deemed as juveniles.

Hello! I've been a lurker on RR for a long time, well before making an account. I've been inspired by many novels during my years of reading on RR, them being The Primal Hunter, The Runesmith, Path to Transcendence, and many more. As such, I've decided to write my own LitRPG epic.

The world has changed, evolving into a game-like reality with mana, classes, and deadly battles. Here, death is final… except for Sora Hashino.

After betrayal by a childhood friend, Sora awakens [Prestige]

[Prestige : When activated, all levels and skills revert to zero, allowing for a fresh start. Become stronger and get twice the experience every skill activation.]

Death is no longer an end; it’s a new beginning. Driven by revenge, Sora’s journey to power has only just begun.

What to expect:

Rapid, high-stakes growth

Story twists and a deceptive plot

Daily releases

Intense, fast-paced action

Late-stage world-building, solo MC in early chapters

Multiple identities and hidden motives

A unique job and mistakes in the choices for the MC

This is my first work, and the 20 first chapters might seem clumsy, as they lack editing, and i hope you'll have courage to read past !

Array King Dane has had enough of the cultivator's world. Fight, kill, grow stronger, and fight some more, that was their lifestyle. Cultivation was nothing more than the eternal rat race of immortals and everyone falls at one point or another. Eternity made any odds a guarantee given enough time, and Dane was quitting the game while he was still ahead.

And so he retires. No more fighting, no more killing, no more violence. He's chosen peace, but unfortunately, peace has to be protected.

Suffering the machinations of family, Remus is sent to the newly built border city of Greltheaven. A place filled with opportunities but also dangers.

If it had been up to him, he would have stayed in the safety of the empire, slowly building his business as he had planned, but he did not have a choice, either go to the dangerous city or live a mediocre life.

Which he is not willing to do.

Swearing revenge, he packed his bags and moved to Greltheaven, a city of great dangers and fortune.

... 

A brothel is not an easy business to run, much less get success, but since fate had so kindly decreed it upon him, he will not only run the brothel but will make it immensely successful.

He had plans, big plans for it; he only hoped the city would remain standing long enough to turn his small business into an empire.

…

There will be 5 Ch/week, from Monday to Friday.

What do you do when you and a group of people are summoned to another world to stop the Demon King and your brother becomes the Demon King?

The answer to that is quite diverse, but Aiden had one.

In an attempt to save his brother, Aiden is caught in a clash of spells between the Demon King and a mythical opponent, suffers 'recommended' termination at the hands of the very system that had been a part of his life since being summoned, and wakes up back in the beginning, on the day of their summoning.

With past experiences and knowledge, he's got a second go at it, and Aiden Lacheart has no intentions of allowing his brother become the Demon King once more. The only problem is... he doesn't think he's the only one who's come back in time.

What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprieved of it?
Well, the people of Earth are going to find out, and it's not going to be pretty.

The moment the barrier that kept supernatural powers out collapsed, the only thing keeping the little pieces of floating rocks and the tiny people living on them intact, was the System’s intervention.

Mia, being one of those tiny people on the little floating rocks in the middle of the void, had much bigger problems though. Like goblins trying to get a nibble out of her guts.

It’s not all bad though, she might have monsters trying to eat her, have disturbingly pointy ears and an obnoxiously pink mane of hair, but she seemed to have some talent for magic.
Everything is going to be just fine. Right?

Expect:
- Female, Gay MC
- An MC that doesn't miraculously take to fighting goblins to the death like a seasoned murderhobo.
- Arcane Magic! UNLIMITED POWAH!(not really)
- A mostly benevolent System.
- I'm still figuring out the rest, so that's about it for now.
- MC starts out as a bit of a doormat. She slowly starts getting better at around ch 12 though. It's called character development, even if my MC is dragging her leg a bit too much at the start.

Main Inspirations: Keeper of Totality (for my System) as for the World: Power of Ten, Book Three: The Human Race and a bit of Sylver Seeker.

Schedule: Monday 6PM CET and Friday 6PM CET

Alex’s hunger for power cannot be sated.

No matter how many skill categories she learns, dangerous situations she gets into, or how hard she trains, Class Selection never appears. 

An unexpected meteor shower takes out the shuttle she's on sending the crew crashing to the ground.

Yet it finally happens, Class Selection and with it a Legendary Class. But what the heck is a Devourer?

It’s time for Alex to learn.

For fans of weak to STRONG, legendary classes and dinosaurs check out That Which Devours.

A sinner rises, a sword becomes legend, an ancient lie unravels…

The Path of the Last Champion begins, and nothing will ever be the same.

Nar was born in darkness, and he was meant to die there – a slave, a sinner, shackled by a sin long ago forgotten and doomed to a life beneath the surface.

His eyes were never meant to see the dazzling lights of the Infinite Nexus, nor the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth from aboard great aetherships. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System… But he made the choice few sinners dare – to Climb.

Now, he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, hide a secret that could get him kicked from his Climbing party, and achieve the impossible in order to save his dying father, who sacrificed everything to ensure Nar’s future. He will face everything that lies in wait for him in the darkness of the Between-Nexus, and beyond that, Nar will need to grow strong in a society where might makes right, in order to one day make the journey back for his dad before it's too late…

However, without knowing it, with every step he takes towards the City Without End, Nar is bringing to a close a play that has spanned eternities. The players are all assembling for the final act that will decide the fate of Creation Itself, but no one is expecting Nar… Nor the lengths he is willing to go in order to rescue his dad.

Nar is no chosen one, but he will be the Last Champion.

What to expect:

- A Sci-Fantasy LitRPG with massive world building, realistic party based combat centered around the holy trinity classes (+ party leaders!) with many unique paths/affinities (becoming more relevant in Arc 2!), an advanced tech society, dungeons, huge raids, mysterious plot, epic battles, and more!

- A System that has been established for a long, long time (“There's nothing new in the Nexus!”) and which is crucial for the very functioning of society itself.

- Support characters that will have unique classes/paths, as well as their own growth, motivations and storylines, and who will always remain relevant to the story (there will be different POVs, but MC’s POV is 95% of the story).

- Slow burn and earned power! Nothing is given, there are no handouts, and no shortcuts!

- If you enjoy Star Wars, Final Fantasy, Tower of God, One Piece and others like this, you might like this story too!

- Arc 1 is a Tower Climber through a vast, ancient, uncaring and cruel machine world. Our characters are flawed, and at times dumb, annoying and make poor decisions! But they learn and grow, and by the end of Arc 1, they’ve got themselves mostly put together, and have forged unbreakable bonds!

- Arc 2 is currently about 60% released (03/05/2025), and it’s where we begin to find more about the true nature of Creation and more!

- 5 chapters weekly (MON-FRI)

- Average 3k words per chapter

UPDATE (03/05/2025):  Path of the Last Champion will be coming to KU and Audible sometime late this year. Thank you everyone for all of your comments, reviews and messages! It was clear to me that Arc 1 needed a good deal of work, and that I’ve missed the mark with some components of the story there. I’ve taken ALL of that feedback to re-write Arc 1 before passing it on to the editors, so, thank you all so, so much! You are the best! 

(And for would be readers, I promise, the annoying bits are self-contained and resolved by the end of Arc 1!)

Jamie is a criminal genius. At twenty years old, he is one of the best arms and drug dealers in the world.
His own set of rules brought him thousands of enemies, but it took a divine mistake to make Jamie leave this world—literally.


One of the gods of Kjarnheim has disappeared, and the gods need the best humans to find him.
They just didn’t expect that the summoning magic would have its flaws and would bring a true villain to save the world.

Jamie will prove that sometimes a hero can't complete what is, at its core, a villain's mission.

What to Expect:
- The lead will be an anti-hero and sometimes a villain;
- He has a clear set of rules;
- Progression will be slow, but he will use his intellect to solve problems;
- Economics and World Domination (From a Villain / Gangster PoV)
- High Fantasy;

What not to expect: Harem or Smut.

Schedule: Weekdays

Writathon completed!

Everything in existence sings—the whisper of wind, the pulse of steel, the hum of the unseen.

Reborn into a world of cultivation, Cai Feiyin awakens with a gift unlike any other—the ability to perceive the oscillations of all things. To him, the world is a song waiting to be understood, shaped, and mastered.

But in a realm where power is forged through blood and will, those who hear too much may uncover truths never meant to be known.

And some songs, once played, can never be silenced.

***

I plan to write this story to completion, and based on what I have in mind, it will span at least 1,000 chapters. The first 20 to 30 chapters will be a bit slower-paced (more of a slice-of-life) to establish the foundation of his childhood, but once the story picks up, it won’t be slowing down. 

What to expect:

A grand, dark immersive cultivation world with a mix of both eastern and western influence, that is gradually unfolded as the story progress (with eventual mythologies involved)

A calm, intelligent protagonist with the ability to perceive the oscillations around him

A unique cultivation system with my personal blend of Xianxia and eastern fantasy

A weak to strong, to strongest MC

Alchemist MC (with clear progression, involving both pills and artefacts, eventually leading to Runes)

Fully fleshed-out characters, with their own life and dreams

Eventual kingdom-building

***

Book 1 is now finished at chapter 81 with 124 000 words!

Common Summary: A common modern man finds himself in an immortal cultivation world right after his death. Armed with a sect system to assist him on this difficult journey, he is shocked to discover that the elders summoned by the system are, in fact, avatars of himself. Determined to take things one step at a time and enjoy his new life, he makes a decision: "I’ll leave the problems to my avatars, and I’ll cultivate in peace."

----------------------------------
Xianxia Summary: Are your cultivation techniques of high quality? Then check out the almost-perfect techniques my avatar created! The best quality golden core is the extreme first-grade core? Then look at my extreme first-grade core! The usual tribulation for geniuses has 9 lightning bolts? Mine does too! I don’t have a perfect foundation, so if the heavens send more lightning, I’ll sue them! Common protagonists take an elixir that should make them rise 9 levels, but they only rise 1 because of their perfect foundation? Then I’ll take it and rise 10 realms, because my foundation is almost-perfect, not perfect. While other protagonists struggle in one realm to reach perfection and fight a level higher, I’m already 4 realms ahead.
----------------------------------

PS: There is no other protagonist besides the MC. In this summary, the protagonists mentioned are only from the works he read in the modern world.
PS2: I try to include explanations and descriptions of each realm and other aspects of the world, but they will only appear when the MC interacts with them or reaches that realm.
PS3: The avatars don’t have much focus in the beginning, but in later chapters, they will get more and more screen time.
PS4: Almost reaching the last console.
PS5: I made it!
