He Who Dies By The Blade, Verily Shall Live In Chains
A phantom of vengeance, a ghost of war, such titles would be befitting to Letifer Mourse. Denied peace in death, Letifer is damned to walk the living plane, until vengeance is wrought unto those who defiled him, and although he seeks no such thing, it seems his vengeance may very well seek him. In the wake of a dastardly necrotic plague, the fanatical designs of a maddened zealot, and a war of the undead nearly a century in the making, Letifer finds himself condemned not only to endure the land of the living, but to face the undead that would stain it...
Arthur is a noble-born reincarnator searching for absolute immortality to avoid the terrifying fate he witnessed in the afterlife. Thanks to a failed spell designed by an unimaginative ancestor, he is able to glimpse a path leading toward immortality while laying the foundations to become the world's first necromancer. However, magic in the world of Nithe is as brutal and complex as the world itself.
Although Arthur would like nothing more than to focus his efforts on advancing his goals, the circumstances of his birth compel him to be an active participant in the world's happenings regardless of his desires. With death hanging around every corner, to attain absolute immortality, Arthur first needs to survive the cruel yet fantastical world he now inhabits.
Sean de Courcy is a gamer with a maxed out warrior build on a popular MMORPG. When the desperate rulers of a declining kingdom need a warrior to help lead them to triumph over their enemies, their summoning spell picks Sean. Their world obeys the rules of an RPG, so although Sean has no real world fighting experience, he is exactly the person they need to manage the kingdom, increase the levels of the PCs and lead their armies.
LitRPG of the realm-building sort.
I began this story in January 2020 in the middle of the COVID crisis on Royal Road. And it proved popular, so I'm spreading the word to Penana.

In the war-torn kingdom of Tavela, Princess Azoah Espere, plagued by a dark voice that inspires dark urges, finds her world colliding with that of the Sendika's--a criminal gang living in the city's slums. With a tyrannical king on the throne, dead men walking, an angry god, a vengeful witch, and a mind-control serum known only as the dashee vae,Azoah soon realises that not only the fate of kingdoms hang in the balance, but also entire worlds.
A little info about me:
Godsgate is a novel I've been writing since I was sixteen--four years ago now. It's been through draft after draft (the first of which will never, ever see the light of day again), and name after name (Deadterra, The Bone King, The Realm of Gods and Ghosts).
I feel this story has reached a point now where, although it's not nearly ready to be sent to agents for querying, it isready to be read by other people--people who will perhaps have insights that I don't. So, please, if anyone out there reads this, I would be immensely grateful for any feedback you can offer, whether it's critical or not. I would also love to return the favour! I have many wonderful people in my life, but very few who are also writers, so sometimes I feel a little isolated in that regard.
So, if you like witches, anti-heroes, dark magic, dragons, and crazy royals, this might be the story for you.
