You venture forward through the grand portal previously locked behind intricate locks and traps. You're immediately met by a disconcerting world. Lightning strikes close to you and then again and again. The sky roars as an eternal thunderstorm dominates this realm. This world erupts with life as sounds of all sorts of beings or perhaps the land itself fills the air.

A seemingly pristine landscape awaits you and a childish curiosity takes over your mind. This world is smooth sailing all across, but there are no direct threats you have to deal with.

In the nearby proximity, you see bits and pieces of creatures stranger even than those of legends of old. Many of them keep their distance from you, you keep your guard up just to be safe. You can make out slithering creatures, fluffy creatures, and what you think might be flying creatures of some sort.

With everything sorted you look around one more time as you set upon a world beyond your imagination. But, with a curious mind, a few back-up plans, and some scouting experience, you know you can charter this uncharted land.

A massive fortress can be seen in the distance, atop a mountain with a dead forest around it, there doesn't appear to be any other buildings as far as the eye can see.

Rimelion: The Exploiter by MarekSusicky
81 parts Ongoing
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
Waltz of Steam and Magic by Frank21188
17 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where steam and magic intertwine, ancient treaties collapse under the pressure of a new order, and two drastically different civilizations collide, shaking the entire continent. On one side, an advanced industrial civilization fueled by the power of steam and machinery; on the other, an ancient kingdom built upon the magical elements and arcane forces of old. As these forces clash, the entire continent is thrown into unprecedented chaos, signaling a transformative era that no one is prepared for. At the heart of this upheaval is a war without smoke, a battle between technology and magic. With the rise of the Steam Revolution, mechanical technology and strange magic intertwine, showcasing endless possibilities. From the blazing heat of bullets to the cold shield of ice, from the precise firing of mechanical arms to the stunning force of magical chants, every moment of battle crackles with tension and energy. This is not just a clash of steel and elements; it is a struggle of intelligence and willpower, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Amid this turmoil, a young prince emerges from his homeland's palace, stepping onto a path destined to change the course of history. He is a brave and determined youth, burdened with the weight of his father's legacy and the responsibility to restore his kingdom, which faces both external invasion and internal strife. With his sword in hand and his father's expectations on his shoulders, he embarks on a quest to find answers and uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. However, the war in this world is far more complicated than it appears. The line between magic and machinery, between magic-wielders and engineers, between flying ships and steam-powered trains, is increasingly blurred. In the borderlands far from his kingdom, peaceful villages are destroyed by mechanical beasts, and ancient forests are disturbed by mysterious magical surges.

I woke up in an unfamiliar world, inside a body that wasn't mine. I mean. A realm brimming with magic, dragons, and every fantastical creature I had only dreamed of. Yeah, no big deal, right? At first, I tried to live as normally as possible in this strange new world-*you know, just blend in*-but then, after a life-changing event (read if you wanna know), it hit me: this wasn't just any random world. Nope. It was *the world*. The one I had created in the novel I had been writing back on Earth. How fun is that? I'm now living in the very thing I'd written. And to make it even more interesting? I'm a character who wasn't supposed to exist. My arrival has already started shaking up the plotline like a snow globe, and I'm over here trying to figure out where the heck to even start. So, where do I go from here? Hi guys this is the updated and revised version from the web novel cause I lost access to that account, a lot of things and characters are altered or changed, and Im sorry for the long hiatus.
