In a city where magic, swords, and technology intertwine, Kivi is a master thief, adept with ancient runes and daring heists.
Her latest job: stealing a mysterious compass for the thieves' guild. But the heist goes sideways and an unstable portal hurls her into an uncharted wilderness-a land brimming with creatures, magic, and danger.
Stranded, outnumbered, and hunted, Kivi must rely on her wits and rune magic to survive.
The compass she stole isn't ordinary. Every powerful faction-from noble mages to the underground thieves' guild-wants it, and they'll stop at nothing to reclaim it.
Kivi must decide: complete her mission, or keep the artifact and unravel its secrets herself.
The Rune Thief delivers:
A rune-based magic system
Mana cultivation with clear progression stages
Action‑packed survival and dungeon exploration
Light LitRPG elements as Kivi grows stronger
Morally grey, complex characters and factions

Archmagus Incarnated
Life was never the same since the pandemic for Maya. She broke up with her boyfriend, became distant from family, and now lived in a tiny studio apartment doing the same routine work for measly pay. The only ember of light in her terrible life was her favorite video game, Synthetic God, into which she had poured her heart and soul for the last two years. So much so, one could say she was the most powerful character in the game. So, when she found herself in the body of her character, she was ecstatic to say the least. However, the feeling didn't last long, for the world of Synthetic God is divided into two: one ruled by the Order of Gods and the other by the Institution of Mankind. Neither of them like powerful individuals. It just so happens that Maya chose a class that is hated by both factions. Within the rules of the game, Maya was just another character who played a role in the story. But now embodying the character whom she loved so dearly, her powers rivalled those who sat atop the hierarchy, and the gods do not like being challenged. While her journey is fraught with danger, Maya's true battle is on the inside. Burdened by the memories of her past and the events of the present, her two worlds collide. Amidst the chaos, Maya must confront herself or else risk becoming a husk of her former self. Chapter 5 days a week. Every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri

Broken To Broken+ MC (The type of broken that makes you wonder if this novel can get pass 10 chapters, but it did.

A Mage in the Night: A Skyrim Story
Aisha is a lone Khajiit seeking to escape her past in Skyrim, the frosty land of the Nords. When arrested for a crime she didn't commit, Aisha will join the local thieves guild. On her first mission, she comes across a crime syndicate who stole a priceless Dwemer mask. Aisha will travel all across Skyrim, gain new powers, and discover the true power of the Dwemer mask, and herself. This is my first completed fanfiction, and I encourage critical comments on prose, plot, and pacing. I tried to stick to the lore as best I could, and everything should (mostly) transition to the main plot of the game. I also tried to translate game mechanics and buffs as best I could in a literary format. I hope you enjoy it :) Disclaimer: The original characters are mine, but everything else belongs to Bethesda.
