《In Your Dreams: a Harry X Voldemort|Tom》The Council and the Challenge...

Narrator's POV
The next day, Severus Snape, the Carrow Twins, and twelve random members of the Outer Circle showed up for the challenge.
They waited for several minutes before the Dark Lord entered the room, "Seems that only fifteen of you dared to attempt this challenge, but only one of you will come out on top."
Bellatrix LeStrange and Lucius Malfoy entered the room.
"Your challenge is to defeat Lucius and Bellatrix. If two of you defeat one each, you will duel each other for the spot. Good luck and try not to kill each other." Lord Voldemort informed, sitting at his throne
As soon as the words left his mouth, curses were thrown and the fighting began.
***
While Death Eaters fought for the chance to be his protector, Harry held his own meeting.
All of his friends, including the Weasleys —except Ron, Arthur, and Molly— and his foreign friends, were there.
Harry explained the situation to them, and asked his friends who had no familial connection to the Dark to join him and offered Oblivation if they refused.
They looked offended at the Oblivation offer and assured him of their choice.
"Then you guys will have to swear loyalty to me." Harry informed
Theo went first: "I, Theodore Tadeus Nott-Krum, pledge my body, magic and soul to thee, Harry James Potter, my chosen master. I pledge to uphold your beliefs, to fight for your goals, to live and die by your word. So I pledge it, so mote be it."
"I, Neville Rodolphus LeStrange, pledge my body, magic and soul to thee, Harry James Potter, my chosen master. I pledge to uphold your beliefs, to fight for your goals, to live and die by your word. So I pledge it, so mote be it." Neville swore

Once George finished his pledge, the sixteen people felt their left forearms tingle, they lifted their sleeves and saw it marked.
"You guys will be referred to as Mercy's Council as a group. There won't be any codenames or anything for you guys because you'll never be singled out and your identities will remain a secret. Unlike the designed masks the other Death Eaters wear, you guys will wear a plain black face mask to keep yourself apart but completely hidden." Harry informed them
***
As the fighting raged on, the twelve randoms were defeated by Bellatrix and Lucius so only the Carrow Twins and Severus remained.
Severus was deterred to be Mercy's Protector since he cared for Harry and wanted to be sure of his safety, while the Carrows only wanted it for the rewards.
While Bella was fighting Alecto, Severus sent a "Stupefy" at her and Bella fell unconscious.
Before Snape could send the knockout spell to Lucius as well, Amycus knocked the Malfoy Lord out.
Within seconds, the potions master threw "Stupefy" to Amycus before the other male could react.
Severus won the challenge and he was now Lady Mercy's Protector...

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job. Please expect an erratic release schedule.)

Pirate Wizard - A Pirate Isekai LitRPG
Beaten, bruised, and shot, Caleb Ledger dives off a burning yacht, desperately trying to cling to life. It doesn’t work. Instead of a briny death, Caleb finds himself reborn in the world of Jaladri. Even better, he's been blessed with the power of Weathermancy. On the downside, servants of the evil cult of Myrkur throw him into a cell with an eye on draining his life-force. But with the help of a battle-scarred griffin and a death-before-dishonor paladin, he just might be able to steal a fast ship to make their escape. After that? With no way to make an honest living upon the sea, there’s only one answer. The path of the privateer, the byway of the buccaneer. Throw in some good old fashioned derring-do involving mystery, rescues, dragons, and a revenge-obsessed warlock. Armed with a cutlass, pistol, and weather magic, Caleb stands no chance unless he figures out how to level up in a hurry!***Note: If this was a movie, it would likely be rated PG-13. The 'Traumatizing Content' rating is just to be on the safe side should any scene stray close to the borderline.
