Cryptmother: Bride of the Dungeon Core Fantasy Romance Comedy Adventure Harem Supernatural Slice of Life
A tongue in cheek tale about a silly little necromancer and her dungeon-based woes...
Graverra Graeme always knew she was destined for more than the average adventurer, even as a low level Necromancer in a realm where such practices are typically frowned upon. When she catches the eye of a lonely dungeon core she isn’t surprised… At first. Offered the chance to raise the dead and rise to her full potential but at the cost of her personal freedoms, Graverra navigates her new life Cryptmother; Bride of the dungeon core.
Started as part of HereThereBeTreasure’s Fast Food Front Page Challenge, aka the Trash Race, continuing because I’m having fun, experimenting with some things, and Graverra needs her big goth castle dammit.
While this is now tagged romance, it’s not a healthy one! Who knew throwing in with the first core to pay you any attention wasn’t grounds for a healthy relationship… While I plan to keep things light, ‘two impulsive power hungry users have to work together’ is kind of the backbone of this story. Consider this the official ‘toxic romance’ tagging.
It’s the author’s first time building a dungeon too, bear with us 💖
Dungeon Building begins around Chapter 10
Dungeon Running to begin soon after Chapter 20
Now updating Wednesdays

Witches & Knights & Unicorn Fights
[2022-06-04: Currently drafting Act II - been on a hiatus trying to edit all the typos and continuity issues out of the first 12 chapters. Will start posting again in a few of days, probably at a chapter-per-week rate] Once upon a time, Maeve Morgan decided to be born... but she doesn't quite remember why. The other day, a voice told her to tell her own story... but she's not so sure just where to start, or quite when to stop. Maeve Morgan just wants to be left alone on her island, really, to shingle her roof, and maybe catch a Gnome someday. Meanwhile, in another Timeline... Bardlii Noonstar embarks on a mission to chronicle the adventures of a common hooded rat, which the Sentient City of Owl claims is destined be the Realms' next greatest Known Hero. And somehow, all of this will become connected. Which of our narrators will untangle this curious knot, by bravely and kindly advancing the plot? (Contains occasional swear words of the PG-13 variety)[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

8 207Reborn A Paladin: The Dagger Of Shadows
Mirio awakes in a strange place, surrounded by shadows, and an overwhelming hesitation about opening his eyes. A voice speaks to him in the darkness and it awakens a hidden power within him, launching him onto the path of becoming a Paladin, and towards something more. It is a semi-realistic take on being reborn and how that might feel like. It is meant to be immersive and to help you feel what it really might mean to be reborn with powers you really don't understand. The character is somewhat of a power fantasy but not outrageously so. And it is not a harem manga, but you will see some very cool things with waifu's at some point, but it must be earned!I present to you, this story for you enjoyment.Please help me make it all it can be and more.For a full size image of the cover click here
