A NaNoWriMo LitRPG starring a videogame QA tester named Sam Nagai.
Sam thought testing videogames would be a dream job until he got saddled with a ton of barely playable mobile games. The lack of fun in these games and small pay makes Sam typically reluctant whenever he gets a call for a new gig, but customers for his art commissions have been scarce and Sam needs all the money he can get. He finally gets a call for a new gig with potential bonus pay, but not much else is known about the game itself. From what he does know, it sounds sort of interesting. Virtual Reality? Dark gothic fantasy? Uber hard difficulty? Sam's all in for that. After all it's not real so there's no real danger...
Expect a dark and scary atmosphere, nightmarish creatures, madness and despair, beautiful and desolate locales, leveling up, and epic battles. This one is for you fans of the souls-like genre and other dark fantasy games like Legacy of Kain and Onimusha!

The White Wolf Guardian
He is a beast but the most elegant and strong Lycan Monarch that was ever alive. In this century humans never believe in myths and legends so for Lycans was easy to live around humans. She is the beautiful and normal girl that can blend in any crowd without being too hard. What she didn't knew is that her own history will catch up with her soon and that the life she tried to have will not be anywhere near as she wanted. When in modern times the Lycan Monarch and the hidden and forgotten Monarch of grand Witch clash in a pool of uncertainty and conflicted feelings, when they shouldn't be together, but the fate decided differently and when she ends up being his Guardian as the old and forgotten prophecy will say, love will amplify the powers, hate and betrayal will broke hearts and fear will made them do decisions that can have a tragic or a magic end. "Red flower, you're the Queen of Lycans empire " "I'm your Witch Guardian " But for them it didn't matter, the more they fight for each other the more they loved each other and the end of their story will depend on their decisions and choices.![Deck of Souls: Fateseal [SAMPLE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/152908920-256-k665606.jpg)
Deck of Souls: Fateseal [SAMPLE]
Warning: Contains occasional (non-graphic) dark themes that some may find upsetting. --- Gods, demons, and heroes. Typical MMO fare-or so I thought. When my guild dragged me into Jeriskyr Online, I expected I'd be playing the latest VR game. Nothing could have been further from the truth. You see, the gods like to trade people. Chosen by the gods of Jeriskyr and betrayed by my own, I found out that this virtual world is all too real. Now, I must choose between my own people and a cocky incubus. It should be an easy decision, yet I find my loyalties torn between the tyrannical and backwards Issradian Empire, or the oppressed demon kingdom, Nabyr-zahn. To embrace injustice or betray my own race. Or maybe I'll just burn it all down.Complete

Bug: trapped in a videogame
The world of video games was fun, joyful, and endlessly entertaining. However, it was always an illusion-everything was fake in the end. Companies tried to create better games, but one surpassed them all. Immersition Company, the most powerful tech corporation in the world, developed a revolutionary video game. Despite its innovation, the company decided to test it first. Among the few people who applied for the trial, Max was one of them. Scientists claimed the test was complete. The probability of any error was just 0.001%. Anyone would have said the code was flawless. But reality proved otherwise. A catastrophic error occurred inside the game. Whoever died in the game, died in the real world. The job Max had always dreamed of became a digital nightmare. Now, he must face deadly trials, mind-twisting puzzles, and nearly impossible enemies. The only way out: collect all the shards scattered throughout the game. Max must change-or perish. Will he make it back to his world, or die lost between lines of code? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in seeing the end of this story, use this link: https://app.glitchy.ai/sign-up?rid=152493.

Gamer of the Dead
Zombie Apocalypse meets the Gamer. to make it a bit different, I decided to create a new kind of zombie with its own rules. hopefully, the zombie will become more dangerous and open up new possibilities. So basically, this is a story of an underdog guy surviving the zombie apocalypse... and the unrequited love of the woman he loves. I am not a native speaker of the English language, it's actually my second. Grammar might be a problem. I accept every comment and review provided that they are constructive. I've been told that my genre is actually called LitRPG. Without further ado, ENJOY!Complete
Realmshift: code of the fallen
Glitched world. Broken class. No logout button. Welcome to the worst patch in gaming history. When ex-gamer Kai Mercer logs into Realmshift Online for a bit of nostalgia, he doesn't expect to wake up in a bug-ridden version of the game, missing his class, his menu, and his way out. NPCs are having emotional breakdowns, physics only works on Tuesdays, and dying deletes pieces of your memory. Oh, and someone (or something) is rewriting the rules from the inside. Now stuck in a corrupted world where players gain godlike powers at the cost of their sanity, Kai must survive on broken skills, sarcasm, and a legendary spoon. As reality starts to blur and the system glitches grow worse, he'll have to face rogue AI, unstable dungeons, and the most terrifying thing of all: social interaction. This is not the game he remembers. And he might be the only player left who's still sane enough to fix it. A light-hearted LitRPG with mystery, madness, and memes. Perfect for fans of glitchy chaos, reluctant heroes, and overpowered spoons.Complete
Birth of the System
Birth of the System - The Patchwork Multiverse Beta Saga When the multiverse itself crashes with a kernel panic, the Bureau of Reality Standards does the unthinkable: they deploy a backport patch. RealityOS v1.0 arrives not with salvation, but with loot tables, stat sheets, and a sardonic helpdesk AI named QUID who insists on stamping everything in triplicate. Meet Kade Voss, an unwilling Beta Tester who discovers exploits faster than the Bureau can patch them. Alongside a cleric who treats hotfixes as holy rites, a bardbarian who solves problems with power chords, a mage who weaponizes forms, and a chronoslinger who rewinds disasters-Kade must survive absurd bosses, bureaucratic dungeons, and bugged mechanics while QUID keeps filing tickets on their existence. Featuring: Boss fights with Helpdesk Golems and Litigator Dragons. Queue mechanics as crowd control. Patch notes that break reality mid-battle. Exploits that are "working as intended." Comedy, fantasy, sci-fi, and LitRPG collide in a world where beta testing existence is the only way to keep reality from uninstalling itself. If Terry Pratchett and The IT Crowd had a child raised on MMORPG patch notes-this would be it.
Blood Rising- Aegis War Saga 2 - SAMPLE ONLY
They saved her. But Raelith's mark still lingers. After being rescued from the Blood Goddess's cage, Elowen Skye is finally home. Surrounded by her mates and the growing kingdom they are building together, she should feel safe. Instead, her nights are filled with dreams of a broken girl in chains - Noctara. A stranger she doesn't know, but whose pain feels carved into her very soul. Because Elowen isn't untouched. Raelith's corruption still stains her spirit, whispering in the dark corners of her mind. And with every passing day, the Blood Goddess claws closer to unleashing an ancient chaos entity that could destroy not just Elowen, but every realm. Together with her five fated mates, the dryads who have pledged their loyalty, and the gods themselves, Elowen must learn to fight back, not only against Raelith, but against the shadows gnawing inside her. Bonds must be strengthened. Magic must be mastered. Trust must be earned. Because this war will not be won by power alone. It will take healing. Connection. Found family. And the kind of love that refuses to break. As kingdoms collide and battle lines are drawn, Elowen will be forced to rise higher than ever before. She is the Moon Goddess's chosen, the vessel of prophecy, the heart that can unite every fractured species. But if she falters, if Raelith succeeds, the world will fall to rot, ruin, and eternal blood. Passionate, dangerous, and epic in scope, Blood Rising is a fantasy romance brimming with prophecy, fated mates, and a heroine who refuses to bow. The Goddess chose her. Now the world needs her more than ever.Complete
Blood Descent
A witch with dormant powers. A vampyr imprisoned for centuries. A destiny that could save or doom them both. Viola never meant to awaken him. One accidental spell, and she unleashes Matic-an exiled half-demon vampyr with eyes like winter's edge and a voice that drips temptation and damnation. He's not just a creature of the night-he's centuries of rage wrapped in lust, betrayal, and something far more dangerous: purpose. Now marked by fate and hunted by those who fear Matic's return, Viola finds herself tethered to the one being whose very presence makes her skin burn with warning-and want. Because Matic doesn't just promise protection. He offers oblivion. As Samhain nears and the veil between realms thins, ancient blood rites begin to stir. Devoted worshippers rise to complete broken rituals, shadows hunger for their master's return-and Viola begins to unravel, drawn deeper into the magnetic pull of a monster who doesn't just haunt her... he claims her. And when truths buried in ash rise from the grave, Viola must face the one question that could shatter her: Is the real danger the demon beside her... or the darkness awakening within her? Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, Reincarnation, Villainous Crush, Magical Dependency![God Of Velmoryn ( Book 1 Complete ) [ LitRPG, Progression, High Fantasy ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396888214-256-k22469.jpg)
God Of Velmoryn ( Book 1 Complete ) [ LitRPG, Progression, High Fantasy ]
(Book 1 is complete) "I Became the God of Velmoryn" If you were given the power of a god, what would you do? I didn't get the luxury of choosing. One moment, I was a nobody, just a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. Next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen that told me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, sure, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. The first thing I did? I destroyed the last statue of the god who came before me. If I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers and what better way to start than with a little divine intervention? Now, I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise. But if the gods of this world think I'm just another nobody, they're in for a surprise. I don't plan on being insignificant forever. What to expect: - 2,000+ Words per Chapter - Selfish, Calculative MC - 1st Person POV - Not a Very Slow Progression - Gods & Intricate Power System - Unique mix of RTS & RPG - Unique Worldbuilding with Various Races & Monsters - Adventure Elements like Dungeons & Exploration - Side Characters with Real Motives - No Harem - Images to Enhance the Reading Experience Release Schedule: - Monday, Wednesday, Friday

The Howl of the Forsaken - Gay/Romance/LitRPG
The Howl of the Forsaken LitRPG | Dark Fantasy | Sci-Fi/Fantasy Apocalypse. Four hundred years ago, the world shattered. Portals tore through the sky, merging Earth with realms of bloodthirsty Vampires, savage Lycans, and nightmarish Demons. Humanity barely clings to survival in the last 45 mega-cities scattered around the world. Kael Bloodfang was born into nobility but cast out like trash. Half-human. Half-lycan. And worst of all-an Omega with no ability. Scavenging the ruins of the forgotten world, Kael scrapes by in the shadows of hunters, monsters, and machines. But when a brutal encounter triggers a mysterious system unlike any other, Kael unlocks a path none have walked before: The Eclipse Forge. No shadows. No minions. Only constructs, twisted from Rift-warped metal and burning with raw energy. Now hunted by monsters, hunted by men-and haunted by the bloodline that cast him out-Kael must rise. To evolve. To forge. To howl loud enough that even the gods hear it. Will he survive the Rift? Or be devoured before the world sees what a Forsaken is truly worth?
