Returning to No Applause Only More of the Same - An Isekai LitRPG

Palt

Summary

A powerful century-old soldier returns to Earth from the Otherworld and attempts to reclaim his former life in this thrilling fantasy novel.
For 130 years, Kreig Wiedermann has fought: first, as a teenage recruit for the Holy Order; then, as a soldier for the Empire; and most recently, as an immortal godlike warrior devoted only to avenging himself. The lust of combat is all he knows—until a portal opens on the battlefield and brings him back to the world from which he came.
Despite the decades Kreig has survived in the Otherworld, only ten short years have passed on Earth, which means the life he considered lost forever might still be waiting for him. But rejoining humankind won't be easy.
For one thing, the International Otherworld Combat and Research Organization isn't about to let a monstrous stranger with an unfathomably high level just wander around without first making sure he won't wreak havoc on the planet. For another, Kreig has been tortured, imprisoned, betrayed, and hunted for years; he's got his own demons to confront before he can reunite with his family and take up a normal life.
Plus, there's the little problem that not everyone thinks Kreig should be allowed to even dream of rehabilitation. And no matter how much he tries to leave his past behind, there are forces threatening to drag him back into his bloody legacy . . .
A bold and clever twist on a classic isekai tale, Returning to No Applause, Only More of the Same is a dramatic, character-driven fantasy that proves the old adage "There's no place like home."
The hit LitRPG fantasy—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Audible and wherever ebooks are sold!

To Be a Woman

Piers Anthony

A humanoid robot serves as a perfect female companion—until she achieves consciousness—in this wildly different story from a New York Times bestselling author. 
 
 
 
Humanoid robots are surely in our future, but their uses are likely to be limited to body guarding, childcare, companionship, and sex. Other chores can better be done by smart non-humanoid machines designed for those specific tasks. But for these limited purposes, the best robots must be so realistic that they are indistinguishable from live people. 
 
 
 
Elasa is such a robot. You can't tell her nature if she doesn't reveal it. You can talk with her, embrace her, kiss her, and she is the perfect woman. Until she becomes the first conscious robot. She's no longer satisfied to pretend to be a woman; she wants legal recognition that she is a woman, so that, among other things, she can marry the man she loves. Therein hangs a tale . . .

Son of the Morozovs

Dmitry Sheleg

Another chapter in the story of the heir to the Morozov mages. It takes place in a cruel world where ancient bloodlines with magical abilities enjoy power and influence, while Normals devoid of magical gifts are of no use to anyone. 
 
 
 
This depressing fate was in store for our hero, Ivan, too—he was condemned to death by his father, who was sure that he was as magic-less as a puppet. But Ivan was rescued and brought up by an old warrior, and the head of the Morozov bloodline was able to transfer his gifts to Ivan just before his death—leaving an impostor soul from another world in his body. After coming back from the dead, our hero wasn't quite the same, and he underwent severe trials and learned how to fight bloodthirsty demons. 
 
 
 
As a student at a branch of the Imperial Academy, Ivan couldn't hide his affiliation with his princely bloodline for long—a rare magical talent, fostered in him by his teacher, gave him away. Despite this advantageous discovery, it won't be easy for our hero to find himself in imperial high society, and fate only has more trials in store for him.

Reborn to Master the Blade -...

Hayaken

From his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis, the divine knight and master of all he surveys, gazes down on the empire he built with his mighty hand. Having devoted his life to statecraft and his subjects' well-being, his one unfulfilled wish is to live again, for himself this time: a warrior's life he'd devoted himself to before his rise to power. 
 
 
 
His patron goddess, Alistia, hears his plea and smiles upon him, flinging his soul into the far future. Goddesses work in mysterious ways—not only is Inglis now the daughter of a minor noble family, but at her first coming-of-age ceremony at six, she's found ineligible to begin her knighthood! 
 
 
 
However, for a lady of Inglis's ambition, this is less a setback and more the challenge she was (re)born to overcome. "It's not the blood that runs through your veins that makes a knight; it's the blood you shed on the battlefield!" The curtain rises on the legend of an extraordinary lady squire reborn to master the blade!
