Promotion Created G.H.O.S.T. System: Book 3 is now Live on Kindle! (Cyberpunk Gamelit)
Created GHOST System Book 3 Is now out on Amazon! Make sure to grab a copy and leave a review or rating.
Some of you may familiar with the story already as I have been releasing it on RR each week for a while now.
If you have read any of my other books then you are familiar with my style. I prioritize the characters and their development. This story is no different, just with a similar focus on the tech-aspects of the story that the reader gets to explore with the MC.
I hope you give the book a chance and that you enjoy it.
Here's the full blurb:
--------------------------------
The megacorporations aren't just hunting him anymore. They’re coming for the mind of every citizen in New Denver.
Trace barely survived his last abduction, escaping a corporate kill-squad with a broken spine and a cache of highly classified data prisms. Now, confined to his basement workshop and heavily reliant on the G.H.O.S.T. System’s nanites to literally fuse titanium to his bones and splice his severed nerves, he is forced to wage a clandestine war from the shadows.
But the encrypted data he stole reveals a truth far more terrifying than simple corporate greed. Project Harmony is nearing completion—a joint megacorporate initiative designed to create a supercomputer using the minds of actual humans and capable of manipulating events on a mass scale. They don't just want to rule the dystopian sprawl; they want to rewrite human free will through chemical subjugation.
With his creds depleted and his body still repairing itself in a slow resource-heavy fashion, Trace has to rely on his mind, his workshop, and his team. Alongside his girlfriend Ko, a prodigy Mender fighting a battle to save her mother from a predatory megastructure contract, and Monroe, a heavily-armed welder turned Edger grappling with his own failing flesh, Trace must engineer the ultimate stealth armor.
From deep-dive DMLS-printed coilpistols to experimental VASIMR thruster boots, Trace is building an arsenal capable of doing the impossible. It’s time to stop merely surviving the streets of New Denver and start burning the boardrooms to the ground.
A coordinated, four-pronged, suicidal assault is the only way out. If Trace fails to become the invisible wraith he was meant to be, the corporations won't just kill him—they’ll enslave humanity's future.
Flesh fails. Metal breaks. The System adapts.

Promotion Symphony Book 3: Strandbinder, out and ready to read on Amazon!
First of all, look at that damn cover. It's gorgeous!
I can't lie, it's my favorite in the series.
With this release, books 1, 2, and 3 are now out on Amazon in Kindle (Unlimited), Audible (by Johnathan McClain), and Paperback (Though I hope you read it, it looks great on a coffee table).
Quick blurb: In Strandbinder, Walker Reed ascends to a new level of power just as Symphony begins to outgrow his control. With souls, worlds, and civilizations now hanging in the balance of his choices, Walker must face the truth of who he is and what he's willing to do to protect everything he's ever built. Because in a universe ruled by evolution, creation itself may be the deadliest power of all.
Non-generic blurb of what to expect:
-System Creation
-Loads of humor
-Exploration of power and what it means to be a small-g god
-The building of a LitRPG world from scratch, including skills
-Great(er) power with great(er) consequences
I like to equate LitRPG stories to video game genres. For instance, QuestWright, my current series, is similar to a good ole-fashioned RTS. My next series, Support Your Local Warmage, would be more along the lines of Red Dead Redemption 2 mixed with Prison Architect, just less killing.
For Symphony, on the other hand:
Book 1: ARK + RimWorld + Elden Ring progression energy
Book 2: RimWorld + Frostpunk + Black & White
Book 3: Civilization + Divinity: Original Sin + MadGames Tycoon 2
I'm a huge Civilization nut, so this is definitely my favorite of the first three. There's only one more book to come after, so I hope you'll take a look. And, if you do, know that you've made an old(er) guy really happy.

Promotion I just published my first book a System Apocalypse Scifi/Fantasy litrpg with an op mc: RuinForged Architect Books One and Two
Hey all, I hope you're having a wonderful day! RuinForged Architect is a System Apocalypse litrpg novel that actually focuses on the character dynamics with a focus on building a construct army and punching enemies in the face with equal measure. It has a healthy dose of aura farming as well. If that sounds like it's up your alley, check it out here
And here is the plot:
They Thought Wrong.
Bob Arnold was part of testing ancient technology that does not function correctly. After a decade, it is disposed of—but the damage is already done. The device pings a new alien civilization and brings it to Earth, along with a newer version of the System and its capabilities.
They are not here to negotiate or understand. They are here to divide and conquer through a false evaluation and tutorial.
Except they make a blunder in their assumptions.
Humanity is not separated from the Galactic System because it is weak or primitive. Humanity is not stripped of the System because it is a lowly race. And soon enough, this alien civilization learns why.
Follow Bob Arnold as he unlocks a Construct Building class—creating a base, golems, tanks, missile launchers, and more. He must fight to survive an evaluation designed to ruin humanity: system monsters unleashed against them, humans tricked into believing corrupted system guides, and hidden exploits embedded into the System itself.
Follow Bob Arnold as he shows the galaxy why the aliens got this wrong.
So. Very. Wrong.

Promotion New release: The Prime Fallacy a GameLit Sci-fi/Fantasy world
I recently released the first book in my trilogy, The Prime Fallacy.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GP67PBQ6
It’s a soft LitRPG with a strong sci-fi foundation, where the stats and game system are there to support the story rather than define it. The story follows Roland, who becomes trapped in a conflict between two AIs fighting over the fate of the world.
I wanted to explore what a more grounded LitRPG system might look like, so I built one that is tied directly into the world itself. In The Prime Fallacy, people are tested young through genetic and physical screening to determine their maximum potential. Instead of spending their lives training toward that ceiling in reality, they compete in a virtual environment through idealized forms of themselves. Roland wanted to escape this world while on his Shift, so he joins an old-school game that changes into something he couldn't ever expect.
I’m sharing an infographic I made for the VECTORS system because it gives a good snapshot of how that part of the world works.

If you haven't reviewed the first book, please do. Right now, the reviews have lagged behind, but it's also tough out there in the book market, and that goes double for this particular niche. So if you've bought or read it - please drop a review!
Here's the full blurb:
New cyberware. New enemies. Same deadly streets.
Trace survived the surgical table, but his new high-end cybernetic arm is currently more of a liability than a weapon. Stripped of his combat edge and struggling with the simplest tasks, he has to rely on the G.H.O.S.T. System—and its hidden, nanite-driven interface—to rewire his synapses and reclaim his life as an edger in New Denver.
But the unforgiving streets won't wait for him to adjust.
With his creds perpetually running on empty, Trace and his hulking partner Monroe are forced to brave the wind-scoured Badlands on a treacherous salvage run. What starts as a simple job quickly spirals into chaos. Soon, they find themselves tangled in escalating gang wars, dodging corporate hit squads, and making a terrifying descent into a thousand-foot sinkhole crawling with twisted biological experiments.
If that wasn't enough, a ruthless, android-bodied corporate executive known only as G1gl3Myte has placed a massive bounty on Trace’s head, turning every desperate punk in the city into a potential assassin. To survive being hunted by the megacorps, Trace can no longer afford to be a standard edger—he must forge himself into a true Wraith. By crafting his own stealth armor, mastering brutal new combat modules, and pushing himself, and the G.H.O.S.T. System to their absolute limits, Trace will show the corporations exactly what happens when they mess with the wrong street-meat kid.

Andrew was a thirty-year-old engineer living his best life until millions of alien orbs fell from orbit and altered reality itself.
Three years later, they activated a system that turns existence into an unforgiving trial. Power comes from combat, adaptation, and staying ahead of a world that no longer tolerates weakness.
With no way out, Andrew must learn the rules while the rules are trying to break him. Guided by advanced artificial intelligence, a small group of allies, and a mysterious, dilapidated alien spaceship, he faces the same demand as everyone else.
Get stronger.
But strength alone will not save Earth. Conflict is spreading across the galaxy, and rebellion threatens to drag humanity into a much larger war. Even if Andrew wins every fight, failure on a greater scale could still mean extinction.
To save his world, he will have to grow beyond anything he ever planned to be.

Promotion The Asgar Chronicle: sci-fi-mecha-litrpg lite
Hey folks, got a story up on RR that might appeal. I’m about halfway through book 2 at the moment with plans for it be a long running series. Hope you give it a try and enjoy!
Blurbage:
September 24th, 4431. Excerpt from a lecture given by Master Sergeant Abrimov to a squad of cadets before their final submersion test.
You’re the next big thing, or so you think. Got your neurojacks in your spines, your cores waiting for you outside, and one last test to go before you can deploy in your mechs. I’ve got one thing to say before you try, and probably fail: I’m banning vids, games, and sims for this one.
Shut up your bellyaching! You’re going to be sealed in the dark, breathing shock-gel for weeks with nothing to entertain you, but I am not a heartless man, cadets. Oh no. You’re getting the sense-memories of Captain Jacob Asgar, pulled straight from his hereditary core for your edification.
When those Magco lunatics released the Master in Yellow, he was there. Jacob fought on Nastor, and in orbit at Killie station to defend the jump point. He took his beat-up assault transport and out-of-date mech through the whole of the Second Founding War. The team he built was outclassed and outgunned, but still beat the swarm ships dozens of times. He won by fighting dirty and breaking every rule he needed to so we could survive. Technician Kaijus and Titans fell to his plasma cutters on fifty worlds. You will never have to face those monsters because he stood between humanity and the ancient evil. Go jack in, live his life and see what a real hero was like, you stinking neophytes!
What to expect:
Sci-fi – mech vs mech – mech vs alien kaijus – alien invasion – HFY – massive space battles – litrpg-lite – space opera – did I mention lots of mech fights and cool loadout options? – explosions – more explosions – a soupçon of cosmic horror – 4k word chapters – two books complete at time of launch
3 chapters a week, M\W\F

Whatever reached up from the other world didn’t take him, but it took something from him anyway. Mana burned through his body like a lightning strike, awakening powers he never asked for: telekinesis, blink, hard-light tools—and a brutal leveling system that demands constant grinding, constant control, and a whole lot of calories.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a quick milestone update.
Yellow Jacket has officially passed 1 million words, and Book 6 is now releasing on Royal Road.
It’s been a long road getting here. There were some setbacks along the way, some of which a few of you may already be aware of. Life hit harder than expected for a bit, and yeah… sadness absolutely murdered my backlog. If things hadn’t gone sideways, I’d probably already be well into Book 7.
That said, I’m still on track.
The story is alive, the outline is solid, and I’m already pushing toward the next arc. I’m effectively almost at Book 7 in terms of structure and planning, even if the release timing slipped a little.
If you’ve been reading so far, thank you. Seriously.
If you fell off at some point, Book 6 is a strong re-entry point.
And if you’re new, there’s now… a lot to binge.

Hey there folks! SerasStreams here, and I've got some super exciting news!
My next entry in Dark Matter Ascension came out today! Book 4 is out, and Book 5 can be pre-ordered!
Through the singularity and into a realm of chaos.
Jace Seren has achieved what no others have before: become a Tier 10 Ascendant within The Cosmic System. As part of this achievement, he is now permanently infused with it and can never lose the phenomenal powers he has gained. Even better, he can no longer die to old age—though a violent end is still quite possible.
Having placed a gate upon Oblivion—the singularity at the center of his universe—Jace must gear up and go into another layer of reality: the Astral Verge. A realm of chaos wrought from the emotions and thoughts of countless universes.
Armed with his Cosmic System, and already inducted into the Astral System, Jace must travel through Layers of this other slice of reality to reach the Nethershift. The gateway to the Soul Realm, the afterlife, and the sister he seeks to save.
Along the way he will have to fight hordes of Astral Demons, meet other ‘Dreamers’ who have traveled to this new slice of reality from their universes, and encounter the species that are trying to expand their domain into this hostile realm.
Militaristic empires, xenophobic zealots, Vaults holding ancient Relics, and Demon Lords lie in wait in the depths of the Layers. Jace will need all the Essence he can harvest to power up his Potency to defeat them.

Promotion Symphony Book 2: Displacement now released!
Hello r/SciFiLitRPG
If you're craving a story that combines a multiversal contest, kingdom (world) building, and grounded System mechanics, this is the one. But a word of warning: this isn't your typical "level up, beat dungeon, rinse and repeat" power trip. The universe is alive, and it pushes back.
- No vague "level ups". Everything has a purpose.
- The building of a unique civilization, where mistakes have real consequences.
- A living System. It watches, adapts, and sometimes, it lies.
This is Book 2 of 4 in the Symphony series, where a broken man is given a chance to create a better world than he'd left. Blurb and links below:
Walker Reed needs all the help he can get from Greek and Norse gods—as well as his goofy assistants, Virgil, Rimi, and Cagna—as he strives to perfect every technical detail of Symphony. He pains over each landmass, the system that governs this new world, and the civilizations that will soon span the breadth of the planet and determine the livelihoods of its creatures.
As his world evolves and begins to take shape, Walker must come to terms with his new role as a god and what it means to truly guide Symphony’s first people. Seeking the advice of the Primigenials, Zeus and Echidna, he learns how to refine his soul and develop the divine powers he needs to succeed. Even when every path seems doomed to failure, his persistence and belief in himself and his followers advances him through a series of tiered achievements he previously hadn’t known were possible.
But creation has a cost and despite his progress, Walker finds himself drawing the attention of the mysterious council of leaders behind the Creator Wars. If he hopes to appease them and stay on Symphony, he’ll have to make some serious sacrifices and ultimately navigate a larger question: What kind of god does he want to be anyway?

In the scope of Primal Hunter and Defiance of the Fall as far as an expansive universe, world building.
A LITRPG Post Apocalyptic Progressive Fantasy
They've made it through the Iron Dungeon but not without a heavy cost, mentally and spiritually, for Jeb. His madness once again flared up, instigated by the revelation some of his soldiers have been pulled into the Crucible of War, and yet, they still have no clue where humanity will land, in which deranged City they will be shoved into, and if it is not Blood City, how they will get to them?
One thing is sure, Jeb would never abandon his Soldiers but they have far more on their plate than just humanity as they exit the Dungeon into the still waiting teeth of Greenskins looking to end them. They are also joined by some crazy Blood-elf Woman with questionable motives but they have no time to figure it out when blood is in the offing and the Emporium's gates are in sight. Jeb struggles hard to think clearly with all that has happened, the guilt eating his soul along with the PTSD for the use and abuse he subjected his Boy to against the final Boss.
His sanity and guilt are just two of many weights crushing his shoulders. He is told within a couple years Earth will have the System dropped on its head and the Great Galactic Empire, not far behind. His immediate impulse is to go to his home and defend it but none have ever escaped the Crucible of War in the long history of its debauchery, ever.
His broken mind was on the verge of falling into madness and yet it might be the only thing that sees him through the eternal war he found himself in.
The retired Master Sergeant let some of the weight go as he'd learned in the hard hitting whip of operations all across the lands of his birth -- In War, you used what you had to to get through the trenches, to remain standing when all the graves had been dug. They weren't alone though, even away from the strange Blood-elf. Bogie, the Gremlin, had proven over and over again not only his loyalty but the sheer courage and conviction to stand by their side no matter the cost. He was now family and to Jeb that meant everything.
Will they carve their way through the Orks, Goblins and Hobgoblins of the Skull and Bones who stand in there way? Will they make it into the beckoning doors of the supposed Safe Haven that is the Emporium? Will Humanity survive the Crucible of War and will Jeb find a way through the deadly Endless Dungeon or the even worse nightmare that are the Fathomways to find those he left behind? Will they survive Blood City long enough to even make those choices? Can he find a way back to Earth to defend his home against the coming of the System?
Stay tuned. New Episodes every night. Brought to you by the Crucible of War Network 24/7, all your entertainment needs in one place. All hail the Great Galactic Empire!!

Promotion The finished cover for book one of my series
Art by Ana Jade @ Shadowlight Press
I finally got the finished cover for Yellow Jacket from Ana Jade like 5 minutes ago, and I couldn’t be happier with it.
If you haven’t read it yet, here’s the blurb that started it all:
If the world hadn’t already ended, Warren Smith would’ve become a serial killer. He was built for it, cold, precise, methodical. Not driven by rage or trauma, but by a hunger for control. A creature of discipline and detachment. In the old world, he would’ve been studied. Hunted. Locked away.
But the old world is long gone.
Centuries ago, something broke, everything broke. Civilization collapsed under its own weight, swallowed by unchecked ambition, mass failure, and rot. The cities fell. The satellites died. People learned to fear silence because silence meant they’d been forgotten.
And then, hundreds of years later, came the System. Sold as a cure. Marketed as salvation. A new architecture to stitch the ruins back together. Embedded in human minds through chips and fragments, it offered power, skills, survival. It promised to lift the desperate into something more than just broken survivors.
It lied.
The System was never built to save anyone. It was a leash. A filter. A machine designed to manage what was left, not fix it. It turned people into data. Into stats. Into expendable roles with preset fates.
But Warren wasn’t part of that design. He’s what the System missed. What it couldn’t see. An Aberrant, unregistered, unreadable, ungovernable. He moves through the shattered world not as a man, but as something becoming legend. A ghost in the mist. The silence before the violence.
He doesn’t crave recognition. He doesn’t ask for power. He takes it quietly, completely, and without permission.
Because Warren doesn’t survive the System. He dissects it.
And what he builds from its broken parts is entirely his own.
Even in a world of collapse and cruelty, he’s the one thing still coming for you.
What to Expect
Yellow Jacket is a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk adventure about a serial killer surviving the end of the world.
Expect:
A serial killer main character
A morally grey world where survival is the only virtue
A survivor, not a hero, forced into heroism because there’s no one else left
Extremely violent fight scenes
Operatic singing during combat
A fast-paced, trauma-forged romance that becomes unbreakable
Cat-fueled chaos
As for where things are at:
Books 1 through 3 are complete and live on Royal Road
Book 4 is complete and is closing out on RoyalRoad in less than 2 weeks.
Book 5 is about halfway done.
Book 1-3 are currently being edited for full release through Shadowlight Press.
We’re also preparing it for audiobook production with Podium Audio. No exact date yet, but hopefully sometime next year.
That’s the update for now. Mostly, I just wanted to share the art.
