Designation: FIRST
'Designation: FIRST' is predominantly a slow burn, slice-of-life Isekai adventure story, with elements of LitRPG. FIRST, also known as Experiment One, wakes up in an unfamiliar room. Initially he believes himself to be the unwilling participant in yet another experiment. However, it doesn't take long to realise it's like no experiment he's ever been part of. What to expect:Elements of LITRPG, including some tables etc. Aspects of character and city building. A focus on exploring the world, its people and creatures. A protagonist, who has a somewhat unique background which influences his decision making and interactions. What not to expect:Taking over the world, saving the universe, revenge or building harems. A big thank you to Jack0fheart for the cover!
8 105The Tail of a Dragon
Ever wondered what happens when a dragon is born into a fantasy world? Yeah, me too. Time to find out how this goes, because everybody loves the tail of a dragon--pun intended. So don't blast me on the title. If you like game elements and level-ups, you'll enjoy this novel. If you enjoy evolution-esque LitRPG's this novel might be your cup of tea. Our young...protagonist, has a bright future ahead of him! Although, he might need to increase his intelligence and figure out what that red box is in front of him. The traveling knights find a batch of young hatchlings, and its up to the youngest dragon of the batch to save his brothers and sisters from those evil humans!He'll even go out of his way to save the blue dragon that he detested for learning how to walk before him! Red beats blue anyways, am I right?
