《Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour》Foreword - C&D Letters, TItle Changes, and What to Expect.

My First Cease and Desist Letter!
I got a C&D message from Tao Wong's Editor company, they asked me to change the title, because they copyrighted "The System Apocalypse" as it's the name of their series. Mine didn't have the "THE" part, but that was not the hill I'll die on. So you now have Sara's Fabulous System Armageddon instead of the former title.

Update schedule!
This novel shall update every Sunday, at the same time, if RR servers work as intended. Each chapter will be around 3k ~ 5k words. I already have a few scheduled ones and a lot of drafted content which is currently undergoing several passes of editing and review. It's a radical shift from how I worked in the previous years (draft and publish, as fast as possible) but I am hoping it will lead to an increase in quality.
In Loki's Honor will continue to be updated. I set the schedule to "weekly" exactly to leave me time to work on that.
Maybe "Sara" will become my K.U. debut. That's not scheduled for 2022, if ever. But I will set a Patreon sometime next month. Both Sara and ILH will have advance chapters available there.

What is this novel about?
I often find that people fill the blanks of the story using the content of the first few chapters. When the story takes a turn that seems obvious to the author, people get shocked because it mismatches the expectations they created when they filled those blanks with their own imagination. This section intends to avoid that without detailed spoilers (but spoilers nonetheless because the author is telling you what is going to happen in the future).
We'll follow Sara as she navigates post-apocalyptic Earth. For now it's just the area east of downtown Atlanta, but it will eventually spill over to other places. It is Lit-RPG and there's a System (it's in the title, dammit) but this is not Solo Leveling (the Korean one). If things don't go past Patagonia (that's America's (the continent, doh) southernmost point), everyone will get the System.

Differently from other similar novels (it's a genre by now) that get the System in chapter one, people will have to squirm a bit before they reach that point where they can level up and grow stronger by fiat.
Also differently from many "Post-Apocalyptic Earth System" stories, there will be no asshole alien overlords whatsoever. I'll leave those to Tao Wong, Matt Dinniman, Ryan DeBruyn, Mirrored, L. M. Kerr, and TheFirstDefier. I told you it's a genre by now. Also, I recommend all those authors.
Regarding the four warnings RR asks the authors to mark, I checked all but "Sexual Content" (That's Traumatizing Content, Profanity, and Gore - We'll get tons of those). I don't feel the need to explore the characters' sexuality in this work, and I don't do gratuitous smut. Every sex chapter i wrote in my other novels had a purpose other than badly titillating the reader.
We'll have undead, supernatural entities, monsters, and survivor conflict. Technological decay and societal regression. This is a weak-to-strong novel, but not in the absurd levels often seen in similar Lit-RPG works. I want to keep it down-to-earth for now.
Please keep an open mind. The scope will grow after a while, then grow again. Don't mistake the trees for the forest.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game - A Virmo Story
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world’s deepest dungeon. He is an immortal pinnacle of existence that is otherwise known as an ancient dragon. And he is terribly bored. His sole source of amusement comes from scrying on the adventurer teams that are in the upper levels of his dungeon. Through spying on adventurers, Kragathor hears of a new magic item, called a Virmo, that allows one to project their mind into a fictional world in some sort of grand-scale game. Recognizing these Virmo games as a potential diversion for his endless boredom, he orders a minion to infiltrate the nearby town and acquire some of these games. Once the minion returns, he logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of ‘science’ and ‘technology’, and embarks on his new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class. Release Schedule: As I wrap up the end of the first major arc, I will publish the chapters as they're completed. However, as I transition into the next arc, I will go with a two or three times a week release schedule, since I will be splitting time between this story and Chimera. Discord Server

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.
