I don't quite know if my story is gory but I still put the tag just in case Cover courtesy of FabioKun Also my grammar does get better. At about chapter 10 I figure out how tenses work which is nice. Also around chapter 35 I actually get a pretty awesome proof reader and now spend around an hour for editing. So it does get better I promise

[Every time I die, I respawn as a trash-mob at the very bottom of the dungeon. It's a rather troublesome existence, but honestly, I think I've managed to adapt, guy.] A lost soul is trapped at the bottom of what may be the world's deepest and darkest dungeon, constantly being reborn into the bodies of new monsters over and over again after every time it is forced to fight and die against the human incursion into the underbelly of the world, which is led by the unbeatable hero-party' who has never lost a single fight. However, unlike all of its other monster brethren, who suffer the same fate, this unnamed soul alone seems to remember each and every lost life and also each death in excruciating, painful detail. After an eternity of this cycle of violent reincarnation, something changes. The soul discovers a secret passage that it has never seen or heard of before in all of its hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. Making a desperate bid to fight against the crushing weight of continual death, it pushes out through this new way, climbing up to a higher floor of the dungeon for the first time, fostering hopes of an escape from this torture as it navigates the dungeon from the bottom up, using trickery, guile, and the capabilities of many wildly different bodies and repeating timelines to outsmart the dominating hero-party and the dungeon itself, which seems all too unwilling to let this trapped soul escape from its belly, deep in the underworld. What is the secret of the dungeon and the forced cycle of reincarnation? Will the soul be able to break free from this arduous, slow grind that is existence, or will it be crushed into madness from the pressure finally beginning to break its fragile mind? Find out in this ultra slow burning, litRPG inspired fantasy novel by renowned dark fantasy author D.M. Rhodes!

Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't mything. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English,the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thingthat came with my other works...Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel andfill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

When eighteen-year-old mage Caleb sacrificed his life to put an end to the Great Demon War, the last thing he expected was to wake up perfectly healthy beside his husband, the warrior Kyron, who had also sacrificed his life to put an end to the war. Their Levels were reset to 0, but they didn't care so much about that - gaining Levels wouldn't be much of an issue for them even with their status as Mythical-Tier people and the higher Experience amounts needed for each Level there. What mattered to them was growing strong enough to enter a location where they could ask the godswhy they had been resurrected a thousand years later. Well, Kyron also found it important to stop Caleb from pulling the metaphorical lever every five seconds, but Caleb wasn't too concerned with that. They ended the Great Demon War, after all - they could handle anything that came their way. Idiots, monsters, natural disasters, dragons in hiding because they knew Caleb would add more than a thousand years of interest to how much they owed him... Caleb was certain a few magical mishaps wouldn't be an issue, either. Important Notes: 1) This is a story about OP young men doing OP things, and they aren't going to get caught up in political shenanigans. 2) This is a mixture of slice-of-life and adventure, and won't have any major life-threatening situations. Refer back to Point 1: this is about OP young men doing OP things. Expect periods of adventure and periods of slice-of-life matter, and only mild amounts of combat. 3) Again, no petty squabbles of any significance. Caleb and Kyron are simply too OP and too uncaring about that sort of thing for it to matter. 4) 99% of this is getting made up as I go. This story isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's just me relieving some stress. That's why the first three points are important and why I'm posting as I go instead of taking time to plan and do editing (so don't expect any editing on this story).

Emma Stone: The Protagonist of OMEGAEmma Stone stands as the central figure in OMEGA, and her lineage traces back to the great immortal Dracula, the sole supernatural to attain the coveted status of an OMEGA. Endowed with the comprehensive abilities of various supernaturals, Emma bears the weighty responsibility of a singular mission to forge peace among the diverse colonies and clans.In her pursuit of peace, Emma encounters formidable adversaries seeking to seize what she uniquely possesses, even as she endeavors to champion the greater good for all. Synopsis: A World in TurmoilFor centuries, supernaturals and mortals coexisted, forming an alliance to combat the looming threat known as the IMPERISHABLES. Dracula, patriarch of all vampires and the immortal realm, made the ultimate sacrifice, ushering in an era of peace that endured for five centuries. Yet, the echoes of conflict reverberated anew among the supernaturals, leading to a war that fractured their unity and power. Amidst this discord, factions emerged, dividing the supernaturals into colonies and clans, where the insidious allure of absolute power continued to sow corruption. Content Warning: A Tale of StrifeReaders delving into OMEGA should be prepared for chapters that vividly depict violence, touch upon themes of sexism, and include elements of LGBTQ representation. These facets, while integral to the narrative, may be unsettling for some readers.

Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I have been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
