When Michael, a high school underachiever, stumbles upon an app called Real World RPG on his phone, he thinks it's just another game. But this game is anything but ordinary. It unveils a hidden world filled with dungeons teeming with monsters, other players with suspicious agendas, and spells that make his math homework look like child's play.

Armed with nothing but his quick wit, a snarky attitude, and a rapier he's more likely to trip over than to wield, Michael seems like the least likely hero. Yet, somehow, he must navigate the treacherous dungeon, outsmart deadly creatures, and figure out who's friend and who's foe-all while managing to keep his grades from slipping further.

In "Real World RPG," failure isn't just a game over-it's the end of the world as he knows it. Dive into this hilarious LitRPG adventure where brains outplay brawn, and even the most unlikely hero can rise to the challenge. Will Michael conquer the dungeon and save his world, or will he become another casualty of the monstrous invasion? The clock is ticking, the monsters are getting restless, and Michael's still trying to figure out which end of the rapier to hold.

Rimelion: The Exploiter by MarekSusicky
75 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
Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended by VaughnSchneider
141 parts Ongoing
What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a video game as an NPC with seemingly no hope of returning to the real world? Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues. After nearly getting his leg twisted into a pretzel for failing to pay off his loan on time, Daisuke decides to put his plan, Operation Jupiter, into action. Although a cool-sounding name, he didn't seem to be in Lady Luck's good graces that day. After uploading the code into his capsule and commencing the startup, everything goes haywire, booting his consciousness into the virtual world. When Daisuke comes to, he finds himself as a newborn fresh out the meat oven-and, of course, his circumstances are far from ideal. Apparently, he is still poor, but instead of being an orphan, he is now the son of a prostitute in the slums, with seemingly no connection to the game system or the real world. How will Daisuke overcome this trial, and will he be able to return to the real world? If you enjoy GameLit and LitRPG light novels such as Sword Art Online, Solo Leveling, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, then you'll definitely enjoy this epic tale!
Loner of the Vanguard by Paingamer2006
45 parts Ongoing
In a shocking twist of fate, an ordinary school is transported from the familiar world into a vibrant, fantastical kingdom brimming with magic and mythical creatures. Unbeknownst to the students and staff, this realm is plagued by an age-old menace: a powerful demon king bent on conquering the land and casting it into eternal darkness. Stripped of their routines and comforts, the bewildered group soon learns of their urgent mission: to aid the kingdom as its last line of defense. With courage and resilience, they must rise to the challenge, leaving behind the ordinary lives they once knew. In this world, a mystical system has awakened within each of them, bestowing the ability to unlock and harness hidden powers that reflect their unique potential. This system offers new paths to greatness, empowering them to forge alliances, master unfamiliar skills, and confront their deepest fears as they prepare to face the demon king's unrelenting forces. However, not all the students are blessed with equal opportunities or strength. One student, an unlikely hero among them, discovers he has been assigned a lower-tier class-a position with few benefits and even fewer options. Unlike his peers who wield swords, magic, or other mighty abilities, he finds himself restricted to a limited set of skills and weaponry, with only a shield at his disposal. Despite feeling the weight of these limitations, he becomes a symbol of determination and tenacity, relying on strategy, resourcefulness, and an unyielding will to prove that strength isn't always defined by power alone.
