In this world, your worth is determined by a number. 

Only for Mattie, that number is zero.

Matthia Somerhall's existence is a secret. Her parents hid her from the world because she is Zero-Affinity. Mattie is the middle-child of a family whose name is written into the Tome of Aster. Her older brother is the youngest High Wizard in centuries and her younger sister is a genius magical prodigy who entered Aitenwall University of Magic at age eleven. And then there's Mattie. She can't make the simplest flame or pop in and out of places. Labeled a "normie," Mattie struggles against the pressures of not being able to use magic in a world full of it.

But this magical society is on the verge of collapse, and Mattie finds herself in the middle of it.
With an amnesiac whose age constantly changes and a thief who has a knack for spatial manipulation, Mattie takes it upon herself to figure exactly who has made her life a living hell.

22 parts Complete
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. --- Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a multiple worlds and protagonists isekai web novel series about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and call themselves 'Court Wizards'. They embark on many worlds in the mission to make them better places whether it'd be covertly in the shadows or out in the open working together with the many kinds of people living there all while having an adventure unlike any other. These are their stories. Basically, it's isekai to MULTIPLE worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like JoJo. --- Note: A bug was triggered which caused this book to be split into two. Check my profile for both parts. --- 2nd place winner in the Star Gazing Awards fantasy category in 2020. --- Cross-posted in WordPress, RoyalRoad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.
Path of Sovereign - Arc 1 by GINX16
16 parts Ongoing
After a cataclysmic event caused by mysterious celestial orbs, the world is reshaped into a realm where magic, power, and survival intertwine. These orbs-divine relics that descend from the heavens-grant chosen humans supernatural abilities, turning them into "Takers." Humanity rebuilds amid chaos, birthing new kingdoms, currencies (crystal essence), and hierarchies of strength. Among the survivors is the Silvermist family, simple people living near a cemetery in the newly reborn Kingdom of Earth. Their peaceful life shatters when Gaia, the eldest daughter, is discovered to possess a rare orb. The kingdom forcibly takes her away, leaving her brother Garner vowing to rescue her. Driven by loss and anger, Garner ventures into the forbidden Unknown Forest, where mythical beasts, teleporting frogs, and flaming butterflies exist. There, he discovers a mysterious orb-his destiny. This orb, named Law, grants him godlike powers to alter natural laws themselves. But such power comes with pursuit-he becomes hunted by the kingdom. Saved by the enigmatic Queen of the Rose, Rosalia, Garner trains under her protection, learning to master Law while uncovering secrets about the world's origin, power hierarchy, and the shadowy organization known as The 12 Circles-a council of divine-class Takers that secretly governs global balance. As Garner grows stronger and meets Teresa, another prodigy of divine rank, he learns that his power may surpass even the gods'. Together, they begin a journey that will test their morality, loyalty, and destiny as forces beyond comprehension converge to control the fate of their world.
Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies
47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

6 parts Ongoing
What happens when a simple birthday gift unravels the threads of fate itself? The land of Yuvell thrives on magic, where ordinary lives intertwine with the extraordinary. Among its people is Sarah Day, the eldest daughter of the Day family and the successor to her family's pottery shop. On the day of her coming-of-age celebration, Sarah receives a strange yellow amulet from her older brother, Dorian-a gift she doesn't fully understand, but cherishes all the same. Days later, Dorian vanishes without a trace, along with several magicians from her hometown. The only clue left behind is the amulet that is pulsing with a strange power that Sarah cannot yet comprehend. Nonetheless, determined to bring her brother home, Sarah leaves behind the comfort of her shop and ventures into a world brimming with mystery and deceit. During her search, she crosses paths with a mysterious man named Euros, whose guilefulness hides more than he lets on. Though their alliance is uneasy at first, Sarah soon realizes that their fates may be more intertwined than either of them dares to admit. As they follow the trail of the missing magicians, histories that have long been buried slowly began to resurface. Each step draws Sarah closer to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens not only her journey-but the balance between magic and mankind itself. Now, with deception at every turn and trust growing thinner by the day, Sarah must decide: how far is she willing to go to save the ones she loves? And when the truth finally surfaces, will she be ready to face it?

Next Generation Arsenal by progeneraljn2
9 parts Ongoing
In a fractured universe stitched together by broken code, forgotten timelines, and unstable energies, war is no longer fought by mortals-but by anomalies. "This story began with one question: What if deletion was more dangerous than death? 'Next Generation Arsenal' explores what happens when systems glitch, stories collapse, and broken characters refuse to be erased." At the heart of the chaos is Access Denied, a cryptic and sarcastic drifter of unknown origin who wields forbidden commands and eats pastries in the middle of world-ending battles. After narrowly surviving erasure by the devastating force known as Content Deleted, Access Denied is thrown into a mysterious new realm-where corrupted gods and collapsing plotlines are just another Tuesday. He's soon caught in the growing conflict between the rising ACT Faction (Anti Chaotic Taskforce) and the oppressive CT Faction led by Karma, a literal god of chaos whose every word rewrites reality. Karma's son, Kaosu, rules entire regions through sheer existential pressure-collapsing minds and buildings alike just by showing up. But when a mysterious girl named Yamiya Mieko, rumored to be the last remnant of a deleted dimension, joins the ACT, the game changes. She may be tied to Dark Logical Energy-a force so unknown that even the gods speak of it in whispers. Meanwhile, Null Energy, a mythical force that deletes not just matter but the reason it existed, looms as an untapped threat no one truly controls. As factions form and battle across corrupted realms, timelines, and moons, reality itself begins to fray. To stop the ultimate deletion of existence, Access Denied, Kaosu, Yamiya, and the elusive tactician Aoikishi must hunt for ancient Glitched Artifacts, unlock forbidden power, and decode the truth behind the Terminal-a system root capable of granting admin access over the universe itself.
