Riftside is coming to Royal Road!

We’re thrilled to announce that Riftside, a co-written LitRPG adventure by Henrik Saetre and Cassius Lange, will begin its journey here on Monday, February 17th, 2025!

We'll kick things off with 8 chapters on launch day, followed by 2 chapters a day, 7 days a week, until March 3rd. After that, we’ll shift to 1 chapter per day until March 14th, and from then on, you can expect 1 chapter every Monday to Friday.

Riftside: Book One is already complete, and we have a solid plan for Book Two, so you can expect a consistent, exciting ride.

So, what is Riftside?

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

Dive into a brutal yet uplifting progression fantasy where survival is never guaranteed, but hard work, grit, and loyalty forge legends.

Follow Ash Aldrich, a blacksmith and scavenger working to become a classed adventurer as he bonds to a sentient soul weapon with an insatiable thirst for blood and pie, teams up with loyal friends to battle monsters, and crafts powerful gear from their carcasses.

Set in the monster-filled frontier of Noros, Riftside is about combat, deep character progression, and the satisfaction of seeing an underdog rise through sheer determination.

Expect to see Ash earn his victories, build unbreakable friendships, and proving that kindness and strength are not mutually exclusive. If you love LitRPGs packed with monster hunting, found family, and relentless growth, Riftside is for you.

Join us on this wild ride—we’re working hard to make Riftside the best damn LitRPG series we possibly can, and we can't wait to share it with you.

Follow the story, share your thoughts, and let’s dive into the chaos of the rifts together!

See you Riftside!
