Gamelit Stories

Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished. As if that on its own isn't bad enough, she's become the game's villainess, Blythe Ridge, destined for execution once the heroine attains the good ending of whichever love interest she chooses. As a connoisseur of isekai web novels, she's convinced that all she needs to do to escape from certain death is to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying Daisy Willoughby, the heroine of the otome game. Easy peasy. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that she has no say in the matter-her body moves of its own will whenever certain game events have to take place. Everyone around her is bemused by her frenzied scrambling to claim that all her malicious actions, and even some of her speech, are a complete and total accident. Mira-no, it's Blythe now-just wants to escape from the 'villainess' label to keep on living! ----------------------------------- "Born to be a pacifist, forced to be a villainess. Such is the story of my life!" "What in the world are you talking about?" "It's a meme, a meme!" ----------------------------------- (third person, past tense, slowburn clean romance, LOW fantasy) ----------------------------------- Note: An otome game often refers to a romance visual novel, targeted at women, with a female protagonist and male love interests. Some include stat-raising aspects. ----------------------------------- Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays. Read 16 chapters ahead on Patreon! ⭐️ (Cover art by ME. I illustrated it.)

Marcy had a bad day. Then the world ended, and it got much, much worse. One minute, Marcy is a "horribly normal" girl living in a cramped apartment building, pining over her cheerful neighbor, Allan. The next, a "System" descends from the stars, turning Earth into a deadly game and its inhabitants into its players. But while others get to be Paladins or Soldiers, the System has a personal vendetta against Marcy. After refusing its rigged choices, Marcy finds herself transformed: Current Height: 4'2" Current Color: Neon Pink Current Class: [Dragon Fodder] Now, as a physics-defying Bunny-folk with a snarky, six-foot sentient greatsword named Wulf, Marcy has to survive a world that literally wants to eat her. To make matters worse, her crush Allan has reappeared... as a brooding, red-haired Half-Dragon who doesn't know whether to kiss her or have her for lunch. With a snarky System mocking her every move and a mysterious "glitch" in the interface giving her illegal advice, Marcy is about to prove that being "Prey" doesn't mean you're on the menu. Sometimes, to save the world, you just have to jump.

A tragic death transforms the dreary life of a young woman when she finds herself inside her favorite open-world role-playing game-not as the main character but as an NPC named Lilivienne. With her sharp knowledge of the game's lore, she knows Lilivienne is fated to die during the kingdom's destruction at the hands of the popular SSR anti-hero Zathrian Lestrange-just before the arrival of the protagonist. Determined to change the fate of her new life as Lilivienne Van der Horst, she sets out on a mission to save Zathrian from the evil path. However, after several attempts to alter the plot and secure her survival, she realizes she has caught the attention of both the anti-hero-and, unexpectedly, the protagonist. With canon love interests, deaths that weren't in the script and secrets of the game world a player shouldn't know, can Lilivienne survive this new life or will the original story claim her anyway? ** The first volume of this story is now available on Amazon Kindle and Paperback.

The year is 2041. Ten years ago, seventeen dungeons cracked open across the earth simultaneously with no warning and no explanation. Governments scrambled. Militaries failed. Then, certain humans began awakening abilities in response to the dungeons appearing, and the world rebuilt itself around them. These ability users are called Sovereigns. An entire global economy now exists around dungeon clearing - guilds recruit Sovereigns, corporations sponsor high floor clears, television networks broadcast major boss fights, and a live worldwide leaderboard called the Sovereign Index ranks every active delver on the planet in real time. The dungeon at the center of this story is called The Maw. It is the deepest, oldest, and most dangerous of the seventeen. One thousand floors. The current world record is Floor 50, held by a now-disbanded guild that lost six of its eight members reaching it. Nobody knows how deep the floors go. The Maw has killed more Sovereigns than the other sixteen dungeons combined. It is considered by every major guild, government, and dungeon research institution on the planet to be unbeatable. The world outside the dungeon is fully alive. News anchors cover major floor clears like sporting events. Underground betting rings operate on which delvers survive which floors. Guild politics are cutthroat and occasionally literally so. There is a black market for rare ability pulls. There are celebrity Sovereigns with sponsorship deals and fan bases. There are also thousands of low-ranked delvers who grind the shallow floors for modest EXP and a living wage and never make headlines.

"They called him a failure. They called him a heretic. In the end, he was the only one left to watch the world burn." Kaelen Thorne died as the last of the Spellblades, standing atop the scorched ruins of Aethelgard. He watched the woman he loved fall, the empire crumble, and an Abyssal Lord tear the sky asunder. He was a God-Slayer with no gods left to kill and no world left to save. Until the world reset. Pulled through the fabric of time by a cold, indifferent entity, Kaelen wakes up seven years in the past. He is back in his young, unscarred body-a "D-Tier" initiate facing the very Inquisitors who will eventually betray the world to demons. To the Church, he is an incompetent nobody. To the high-born students, he's a pawn. They couldn't be more wrong. Kaelen still carries the scars on his soul. He remembers the location of every lost artifact, the recipes for forbidden alchemical draughts, and the secret weaknesses of the monsters yet to be born. Most importantly, he knows exactly who the traitors are. The throne is sundered. The gods are coming. But this time, the needle knows where it's going-and Kaelen Thorne isn't just playing the game. He's rewriting the rules. What to expect: Competent MC: No "clueless hero" tropes. Kaelen is a veteran warrior in a student's body. Deep World-Building: A mix of "technomagic," political intrigue, and dark fantasy. Tactical Progression: Every move is calculated. Every betrayal is anticipated. High Stakes: A race against time to prevent a literal apocalypse

The sky is a perfect, monitored blue, and the chaos of the Old World has been replaced by the seamless "Player Safety Initiative." For Lee, the legendary Vanguard who broke the game to save a Goddess, the peace is a welcome relief. He's finally found time to simply... play. When he encounters a struggling Level 1 novice in the beginner zones, Lee sees a chance to pay it forward. He sees a student. He sees a friend. But Shackrah-the Goddess who was once a World Boss-senses something the system logs aren't showing. Behind the "noob's" clumsy mistakes and the corporate-sponsored "Open Source" freedom, a digital cage is being built, one line of code at a time. In a world where your best friend might be a corporate architect, and your freedom is just a managed asset, Lee is about to learn the hardest lesson of all: The most dangerous enemies aren't the ones you fight in a raid. They're the ones you invite into your party.

Each year, or sometimes every couple of years, the world watches as a handful of individuals are chosen to participate in The Great Game. A brutal, high-stakes competition where between fourteen to twenty players must navigate an entire town, dodging obstacles, deceiving adversaries, and ultimately racing to the final checkpoint-a shopping mall with a sprawling underground complex. One of the most dangerous and unique mechanics of The Great Game is the ability to change one's face-but only to that of an NPC. A single touch allows a player to assume the face of a common villager, a beggar, a merchant. But if an NPC sees someone shift their face, they will assume the player is a monster and may turn against them. And if another player witnesses the change, they will know exactly who is hiding beneath the disguise. Alliances are shattered within seconds. Knives flash, fists connect, and bodies fall before they even reach the first obstacle. The final stretch-the parking lot beneath the mall-is where all disguises drop. Faces return to normal. No more illusions. Just the raw, unfiltered desperation of those who have made it this far. Victory Everything froze. The world reset. The violence, the betrayals, the deaths-erased. The game was over. The world moved on. No grudges held. No crimes remembered. Just another season of The Great Game.

Lionara Galliger isn't a great gamer. Thing is, there's not a lot to do when you're an introverted college student, and the world has moved online, AND you're broke. To boot, her best friend is dying. Basically, her life sucks. But things are about to change. Lionara is destined to go on a big journey across a nuked world while discovering a whole new reality where things she couldn't even phantom happens to her. And she doesn't have a choice. Man, I suck at blurbs. I hope you'll enjoy the story, anyway!

A screening takes place each year in the place where Anna is from, County 54. A single eighteen-year-old will either pass or fail. Pass, and you get to stay in the town. Lose, and you are escorted to the perimeter of the town and forgotten about, forced to make it on your own out in what is the bloodiest live battle grounds the world has ever seen. This year is Anna's turn, but there's one more problem. In all the years she has lived here, nobody has ever passed. There is a reason for this. The year is 2250, and Anna's town is full of the fliers that advertise the blood-sport called Bang with the baby on the front. The only thing history class details about the past and this blood-sport is a quote from the CEO of Genuine Realm Systems Incorporated, just before the innovative operating system was implemented across the world. "Virtual Reality couldn't answer the problem. And the problem was simple. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. Gen Realm Systems fixed that. Virtual Reality put heaven in front of your eyes. But Genuine Reality puts heaven in your neighborhood. Choose Genuine Reality. Choose to play Bang" In a world where immortality is now as common as an app setting, and gaming is now common law on the streets, people have put down the virtual video games and traded it for the real thing. Anna is put to the test as the Game Start Screen nears closer. She has a constant struggle to find herself, keeping her confused about how to stay alive, because, well, she isn't a player-character. She is a non-player character. From the start of her Game Start Screen ceremony, to the rush of events that happen afterwards, she fights to balance intuition and logic, and family and love, as she navigates the marvelous invention that is known as the Genuine Reality System, all while being streamed live on a community-based social media platform. Can you figure out who's watching?

Okay, my death was embarrassing. I'm not trying to deny that. But was it really embarrassing enough to warrant a goddess' attention? Apparently so, and not only her attention, but her reward as well. Reincarnation, into any world I wanted and with all my memories intact. But when I asked to be reborn in my game world, I didn't mean the dating sim! I just wanted to live the quiet life, like the introverted hermit that I am, not get tangled up in academies and politics. So my goal is simple. AVOID THE HAREM ROUTE AT ALL COSTS!
