Synopsis

Hello, friend, and welcome to Blade’s Rest!

Are you looking for a relaxing LitRPG where the world isn’t ending every five minutes? Yes, I know that it’s exciting to battle demons and loot swords. But sometimes it’s nice to just build a town, drink beer, and end your day with a hearty bowl of stew, isn’t it?

Well, if you want a slice of life tale about a guy creating a town from scratch, then you came to the right place.

Blade & Sheath is a fully immersive VRMMORPG game where some folks complete quests, while others develop their magic and battle monsters.

Then there are players like Josh.

He needs to earn some cash, so when he gets a job as a town builder for Blade & Sheath, he can’t believe his luck. However, it won’t be easy. The land he needs to build on is as untamed as the critters that prowl it. That’s not all – he also starts with no skills and no resources.

He does, however, have two fellow builders who will help him. Together they will build Blade’s Rest – a place for adventurers to relax after a day of questing. Why not put down your sword, grab yourself a drink, and stay for a while and join them?

An Adventure Brewing

★ 4.37

JollyJupiter

Pete’s a simple man who enjoys a good drink amongst friends and crafting a tasty ale. Not too much to ask, right?

Now, he's trapped in a fantasy world far from home, stuck underground and inside the body of a smelly dwarf with fantastic facial hair.

The worst part?

The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the mother lode?

All he wants is to bring new and better beers to the world, but unfortunately altering dwarvish beer is frowned upon. So he has a lot to prove. Read this Cozy Fantasy Adventure filled with laughter, epic fantasy, love, and a little melancholy. Beers & Beards balances progression & slice-of-life with charm aplenty and a charisma score high enough to make a bard blush.

It doesn't matter if you like beer or not, this will fill your need for comforting stories!

Heretical Fishing 2

★ 4.36

Haylock Jobson

Power is returning to the world after millennia, ancient constructs are stirring back to life, and one man is doing his best to ignore all that noise.

Fischer has everything he could possibly want in life: a menagerie of cute animal companions, a waterfront property from which to fish, friendships that blossom more and more by the day, and enough coffee to take out a small elephant—or a really large dog.

If it were up to him, he’d spend the rest of his life laying in the shade with Maria at his side, a rod in one hand and a fresh pastry in the other. Unfortunately for Fischer, cosmic forces still don’t care about mortal feelings.

The capital is growing wise to his movements. The cults are still culting. The merchant that provides coffee beans is nowhere to be seen. And awakened beings are popping up like barnacles on the rocky shore. Even his friends have gone behind his back and started a church with the express goal of turning him into a god.

It’s a lot for one man to take on. But thankfully, Fischer isn’t alone. Between his trusty guard crab, an otter that can summon lightning like Zeus, and a bunny that seems a little too fond of roundhouse kicks, he’ll be just fine . . . right?

The second volume of the laugh-out-loud LitRPG adventure series—a #1 Rising Star on Royal Road with more than three million views—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

The Artificer’s Apprentice

★ 4.3

Tom Watts

Greetings, friend! Rest here for a while and listen - I have a quest for you.

How would you like to begin an apprenticeship in the mystical craft of artificery? You’ll learn things that most people can only dream of. You’ll make swords with self-sharpening blades, bows that fire by themselves, and clocks that can read the future.

Even better, you’ll get to live in the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a sleepy little crafter’s village of cobbled streets, cozy taverns, and pleasant bakeries.

If this sounds like just the life for you, then grab a beer and a sweet roll, and follow Lewis as he begins his new life as an apprentice.

Lewis comes from a family who don’t regard him much, so he sets out on his own into the world, intent on securing an apprenticeship in an interesting profession. What he doesn’t expect is to find himself studying one of the most mystical arts in the land.

It’ll be hard work. Perhaps even dangerous work. But with an old artificery master to teach him, and the friends that he makes to help him, he’s sure he’ll get there.

Why not get yourself over to the cozy town of Sunhampton and join him on his quest?

Beware of Chicken 2

★ 4.55

CasualFarmer

A laugh-out-loud, slice-of-life martial-arts fantasy about . . . farming????

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body.

And you know what? Things ain’t actually all that bad.

I mean, last year was pretty hectic. I died, got reborn, ran away from my sect and ultimate power, started a farm, made some friends, awakened all my animals into Spirit Beasts so now they’re running around talking and getting into life-and-death battles with super-powered bandits . . .

Oh! And I got married. Pretty neat, huh?

Well, this year, after the Spring Planting season, I’m really gonna relax and put down roots. It’s the slow life for me. Sure, the talking animals and cultivators coming to live with me are a bit weird, but this year everything is gonna be basically normal.

There definitely won’t be any Heavenly Tribulations, ancient formations, or cultivator issues to deal with . . .

The second volume of the blockbuster progression-fantasy series—with more than 20 million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

This Used To Be About Dungeons: Volume 1

★ 4.16

Alexander Wales

This is a tale that used to be about dungeons...

Now it's mostly about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup. Maybe haggling with the squash seller, or taking care of a neglected garden, or even just putting some jam on a good shortbread biscuit. And yes, sometimes you still go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, disarm traps, avoid spiked pits, etcetera, etcetera. But when you come out now, it's not really about the gold and loot. It's about realizing you've got a good cure for that old shepherd's cough, or maybe you even found the perfect magic trinket to give to the local kids who helped you out when your cat was sick.

Just remember that dungeons are always going to be there. Yes, sometimes you might need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates or a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. But your tour through the local lairs can wait. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic and even more to do and see...

Join me, won't you?

Bronze Rank Brewer

★ 4.45

James Ghoul

Hawkin rejected adventure to pursue a slower pace of living. Isolated in the wilderness far away from civilization, he fends for himself using the axe he earned on the Lumberjack quest path—the quest path he'd gladly disabled long ago.

After ten rugged years alone in the northern forests, visitors begin to appear. First an ancient, overpowered monster who becomes more friend than foe, then a lost, traveling trio of monks with a peculiar set of skills. The monks share a beer so good that Hawkin is moved to return to the dreaded system he’d long ago abandoned. Hesitantly, he accepts the Brewer’s path.

Dellia, one of a thousand gods, seeks Hawkin’s help to expand her influence among humans. She promises to guide him along the path to becoming one of the greatest brewers the world has ever known. Hawkin’s only condition is that he never leaves his woods. When goblins encroach on his territory, Hawkin’s peaceful existence becomes compromised. Refusing to leave the woods—his true home—he forges an alliance with unlikely companions and sets forth on a journey to brew magic beer.

Numbers go up. Some monsters cause occasional conflict; others become companions. Gods and a system provide quests and rewards in this slice of life adventure.
