A LitRPG of City-Building, Underground Secrets, and System Evolution
Bastion rises. But beneath the stone, ancient forces awaken.
Greenreach is no more. From the ashes of the Thorn Siege, a new city is born—Bastion. With expanded trade routes, booming markets, and strong walls, prosperity seems assured. Yet danger lurks both above and below.
🏙️ Forge the first true city of the borderlands—manage trade, politics, and public works.
🧠 Investigate ancient Pre-System ruins—a heartbeat of Rift energy thuds beneath the streets.
⚔️ Fight political coups, corruption, and the lingering shadows of Blackthorn.
🌌 Brace for the rise of Rift Towers and the awakening of an ancient network.
The city must evolve. Or the past—and the Rift—will tear it apart.
✅ Ideal for readers who love:
City-building LitRPGs with serious system progression
Deep worldbuilding, exploration, and political intrigue
Ancient ruins, system unlocks, governance upgrades
Series like Bastion, The Slime Dungeon, Tower of Gates

A LitRPG of Diplomacy, Defense, and the Next Stone Laid The goblins were just the beginning.

But while alliances are forged in council halls, danger stirs beneath the stone. ⚔️ New threats emerge—supernatural horrors, rival warbands, and whispers of forgotten mines filled with ancient power. 🛡️ The Stronghold ...

Story
They found ruins. Now they must build a future — or die trying. When Edwin and his weary band of survivors stumble upon the abandoned village of Greenreach, they uncover more than just ash and rubble. Signs of a brutal goblin raid mark the land — but so does the opportunity to start again. Armed with a mysterious Stronghold Stone and guided by a game-like System interface only he can see, Edwin has one shot to turn these ruins into a stronghold. But the village still hides secrets... and possibly traps left by those who came before. Goblins. Tragedy. A defiled shrine.

Story
My biggest worry used to be whether my rogue character would finally loot that stupid dagger after six weeks of grinding. Now? It’s surviving daycare pickup runs, cooking toddler-friendly meals without setting the house on fire, and not getting murdered by magical psychos. It all started when my sister dumped her five-year-old son Adam on me because of some "emergency." I figured I’d Netflix, babysit, and maybe teach the kid how to fake sick days like a pro. What I didn’t plan on? Finding out Adam’s got magic. The dangerous, world-shaking kind. The kind that paints a target on his ...

Story
The Rift no longer attacks in mindless waves—it infiltrates. Humanity’s greatest strongholds are rotting from within. Commander Edwin Drayven has stabilized the Nexus network, forging humanity’s last refuge against dimensional collapse. But now, the Hive Mind has evolved a new strategy: Twilight Bastions—human settlements corrupted by Rift influence, hidden in plain sight. When betrayal festers behind friendly walls and Riftborn sleeper agents rise, Edwin must make an impossible choice: root out the traitors before the network fractures—or watch the last hope for survival fall ...

Story
Core Overlord: Book One A Kindle Short Read, designed for a fast-paced, high-intensity LitRPG experience. I died. Respawned as a glowing rock. Now I build dungeons, spawn monsters, and kill heroes. Welcome to my afterlife. Alex never expected to wake up after getting flattened by a truck—especially not as a floating crystal in a damp, monster-infested cavern. But that's exactly what happens. He’s been reborn as a Dungeon Core: a magical entity charged with creating deadly dungeons, summoning monsters, and defending his heart—or risk deletion from existence. No body. No weapons. Just ...

Story
Corebound Book Four of the Core Overlord Series I leveled up. Unlocked a forbidden power. Now the dungeon itself obeys my will. After crushing another wave of adventurers, Nightshard reaches Dungeon Level 4—and with it, a power long thought erased from the system: Corebinding. The ability to reshape terrain in real-time. No more slow digging. No more waiting. With a thought, walls shift, tunnels vanish, traps rebuild themselves mid-fight. It’s not just evolution. It’s revolution. But with forbidden upgrades come Bureau eyes. Twinkle is panicking, adventurers are collapsing tunnels, ...
