Hearthsoul Chronicles: El'shadie Prophesies

Enor. A world of ceaseless rain, where steam rises from the land in a slow exhalation, as if the planet itself breathes in torment. The dark heavens weep, the ground smolders, and amid it all, a boy sells himself to chains. Merrin Ashman walks into slavery—not for survival, nor profit, but out of fear. Out of shame. His hands are stained with his brother’s blood, and the weight of that sin crushes him. He does not weep. He does not rage. He is too much a coward to take his own life, yet too hollow to live without purpose. He does not seek redemption. Not yet. But he yearns for something—some task, some meaning, some distant thing to justify the ruin he has wrought. And fate, ever cruel, answers. By chance or divine will, he snaps at the cruciform. In that shattering, something awakens. A power, terrible and vast. He becomes a caster, one who moves the symbols. And with it, revelation: a destiny sought through time. El’Shadie. The title lingers like a question. A savior or a scourge? A harbinger of ruin or the world’s last hope? He does not know. But the path is before him. A path through a world of shadowed faiths, churches and warring clans, of casters wielding forces beyond reckoning, of monstrous fallen things clawing from skies. And this time, the El’Shadie must choose what he will be. join my discord for more information on Hearthsoul Chronicles related things like the wiki, maps, character art, etc https://discord.gg/xy7KuN7R6F

The Gourmet Innkeeper: Cooking Monsters in a Fantasy World

[Welcome to a New World, Innkeeper! Let’s build something cozy~] Masterchef Finn thought he was finally getting his restaurant when he was literally thrown into a world filled with beasts and magical creatures. And…he had to build an inn? Smack in the middle of nowhere? Er, no, not nowhere. In the middle of monster-infested areas! Fortunately, he had a massive shield to protect him and the inn. He could build stuff with the press of a button, and he could buy useful things from a mysterious market. He even got a cute panda mascot as a taste tester. Maybe this place wasn’t as bad as he thought. He thought that maybe, just maybe, he could finally live the relaxed life focused on cooking that he had once dreamed of! However, he soon realized that his future customers would be adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and even other creatures. He was tasked to house them and feed them, to help them survive in the most dangerous part of their world. Like this, he was inexplicably drawn to a bigger world and was pushed to take on responsibilities outside his precious comfort zone. He was even asked to do [Missions] himself! What kind of Innkeeper is expected to do monster clearings!? ... ____ If you like: - Adventures and Monster Fights (Weak to Strong tho!) - Quests / Missions - LitRPG - Cooking! - Business-building / Money-making - Inn-building / Infrastructure - Slice-of-life / Cozy!

Stellar Ranger: The Impossible Worlds

Jack Castellan is a surveyor with impossible luck and a shadow that sometimes disagrees with him. When he stumbles upon an ancient test on the nightmare world of DarkFall, he discovers why humanity's been quarantined for fifty years: their stories can rewrite reality itself. In a universe where physics is more suggestion than law, Jack maps the impossible. Planets that exist only on Tuesdays. Stars that sing civilizations into being. Expanding voids that eat the concept of distance. As a Stellar Ranger, he's the first to face what shouldn't exist—and file reports that make sense of madness. But Jack's survival at DarkFall caught the attention of forces beyond comprehension. The Hollow Gods—reality's first predators—are evolving from devourers into something worse: authors. The universe itself is still being written, and everyone's fighting for the pen. Time Weavers exist across all moments at once. Digital consciousnesses optimize organic "inefficiency" out of existence. Pattern Eaters consume causality itself, making things never have been. Aided by ARIA, his sarcastic AI companion, Jack navigates between species that shouldn't exist, in territories that defy mapping, solving mysteries that rewrite themselves. Each impossible world hides a test. Each answer reveals ten new questions. And in the expanding dark beyond known space, something watches—waiting to see if humanity will write wonders or horrors with their gift of living stories. The universe is bigger than anyone knows, growing faster than anyone can explore, and Jack Castellan has the worst job in existence: making maps of places that refuse to stay still. Welcome to the impossible. Try not to imagine anything too specific—it might become real.
