《Humanity's End》Chapter 11.3
Advertisement
Peep peeped into her ear in concern, and lashed out at the Litch entry on her screen. The mental image of Peep burning it with multi-colored flames filled Jessica’s mind and she smiled, and scratched at the spot along his neck he liked.
“Don’t worry, I'm not going to do that. But, I need something. Some edge. Any thoughts?” Peep trumpeted happily at being invited into the decision making process. He lashed his tail out and smacked the slave and tamer options on her list, hissing in displeasure. Then, he poked at the Arch Mage class option, and it changed before her eyes.
Arch Dragon Mage - Type: Legendary. Description: Having been granted the blessing of the dragon by a True Dragon Familiar, you have gained access to a truly Legendary class. You will gain the trait Mother/Father of Dragons, granting you a +4 to all attempts at communicating with all dragons. In addition you gain all of the benefits of an Arch Mage class, but class quests are based on not generic students, but on the dragons you help raise to sentience, and then to sapience. The higher they fly, the greater your own strength! Additional Benefit for Familiar: Heart Of The Dragon: Effects Unknown. Evolution Possible: Yes. Legendarily Difficult. What say you?
The class was exactly what she needed, or, at least she hoped. It was extremely vague, and from what she gathered from it, restricted her level or class progression based on how well she trained or helped raise Peep? That concerned her, but the wave of comfort and rightness that Peep exuded, as well as the triumphant trumpet he let out after seeing the letters shift, she knew if she didn’t choose it she would regret it for the rest of her life.
She selected Arch Dragon Mage.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
8 61The Eldritch Horror Returns to Earth, but Things are a Bit Different
One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world. But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy. And where did these magical girls come from?... --------- In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process. In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff. The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-, The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him! With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it... Enjoy!
8 491Joey's Eternal Torment: The Fairy Princess Saga
Sometimes, bad things happen to bad people. Joey is one of those bad people. She's not incompetent, but she's not a genius either, unless you count partying. Which you shouldn't. Because getting laid the night before your wedding is not the mark of intelligence, nor moral fortitude. FORTUNATELY, the wheel turns, and the day of that wedding, the city is attacked, and Joey is stolen away, in a manner which is entirely painful and appropriate. She is dragged through the portal, and sentenced to Eternal Torment...which just so happens to be very similar to some-nerd-shit RPG video game (Joey's words, not mine). She goes through class and race selection, meets her new people, gets banished by her people, finds a new people, gets in fights with them, and then ends up in the fabled Camie-Town, where she has to work her way up, from the lowest of the low. Eventually, she'll probably get banished from there too. She's not a good person you guys. Alternative Title: Joey's Adventure in Camie-Town.

8 199The Legend of the [Place Holder]
The End came for me, I do not remember any of it though everything else has been engraved into my soul, or that is what I believe, for how else would I have perfect recollection of my previous world without carrying my brain over too? I was born to a happy family of 4 becoming their 5th member. I am the youngest of my siblings (obviously) and will remain the youngest for the foreseeable future. My mother is known as the Blood Tyrant to her friends and Talina of the Mists to her enemies. I personally think thats the wrong way around but what can I do about it? My father is a goofball with no apparent ambition or drive. His goal in life is to torment my mother and make the Blood Tyrant smile. There must be a good reason my mother keeps him around, I just don't know what that reason is. There is a secret hidden from me by my family and everyone else I meet in my little world. But little do they know that I am already aware of it. I may have been a crawling, bawling, eating, annoying, farting little poop factory but I was also aware of everyone around me, learning, watching, stalking. I learnt the secret kept from me and I will reveal it to you all. We have MAGIC and the biggest secret and the greatest crutch - ADMINISTRATION.
