But everyone is going to succeed in some ways and fail in others, and it is up to you to determine what kind of character to make. To get started, create a character here:

The Iron Coven
A warrior woman addicted to carnage... A rogue who stopped believing in the right thing a long time ago... A cleric more interested in causing wounds than mending them... An elven heiress running away from her family legacy... A wizard cursed with knowledge that erodes her sanity... And a paladin who believes in nothing but steel to save her. Each of them is an outcast with too many enemies and not enough friends. But together, they will carve a path through assassin-infested alleys and goblin killing fields, all the way to a cursed monastery in the mountains to challenge the gods themselves. They might not be heroic or lucky, or even all that smart, but they'll prove each of them has iron in her blood!
Cyberwitch Academy: Learn or Burn
Imagine you wake up one day and discover that your body is a cursed organic computer. To make matters worse you keep getting possessed by AI demons. You know you can use their power, if only you could figure out how. But the clock is ticking, because you're a cyberwitch now, so you better learn before somebody burns you alive. Meet Ursula Loveless, 13 year old coding genius from Manhattan, newly crash landed in the Republic of London circa 2077 in the middle of a witch hunt. Ursula just wants to find her missing mommy and escape back to NY, but she soon finds herself dragged into the cyberwitch underground, where a secret school for augmented girls is hidden in cyberspace. Ursula and her misfit coven mates get a lot of hate at the secret school, because she keeps glitching out at the wrong time, exposing them all to the attention of the Witch Finder, Marketta La Fey and her psychopath son GoldenBoy. To make matters worse, Ursula finds herself a pawn in a political game between the two warring witch clans, Clan Weaver and Clan Siren. Welcome to your new school kid, now learn or burn.Complete
Rimelion: The Exploiter
What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done
Dex Warrior (Libertas Online)
Seven shuttles flee from Earth after an alien invasion and who do they have to protect them? A newb. Aiden is a refugee. He's got next to nothing: no family, a bad case of PTSD, and no experience. As the remnants of humanity search the stars for a new planet to call home, the only escape from a depressing stasis-filled reality is the huge fantasy VR world of Libertas Online. For Aiden, naptime is over. But even in-game, Aiden can't forget the horrible attack that ruined his life when he overhears a plan take control of his ship and return to Earth in a daring counterattack. It's a mutiny that will risk countless lives, and he has no idea who's behind it. Now, to save his ship and the last of humanity, Aiden will have to master the mechanics of Libertas, form a guild and send out spies to uncover the identity of the mutineers before it's too late. Dex Warrior is a LitRPG story featuring game-like weapon statistics, formulas for warriors and wizards, guild wars, quests, combat, and village-building. If you do not enjoy these nerdy things, this book is not for you! All comments and feedback are wanted and appreciated! New chapters on Tuesdays and Fridays.Complete

Toll the Troll
Trapped in a prison, unable to remember his past, Toll searches for a way to survive. This is a horror story that meanders through litrpg/tabletop rpg/puzzle game tropes, including saving princesses, gathering harems, and fighting for his life-all the while stuck in a cursed body (but not a werewolf) he can't always control. As dice are involved, I don't know where this will go.
