Skyrim Series: Redguard Dovahkiin
Genre: Fantasy, Slice of Life, Action, Adventure
Setting: A realistic fantasy world, post-Skyrim (4E 202 and beyond)
Synopsis:
Alexander Walker was a survivor—but survival came at a cost. A Navy SEAL veteran, he had already endured war, the loss of his legs, and severe injuries that left him dependent on technology to function. Then came the cancer. Stage 4 leukemia nearly took everything from him, and though he fought through grueling treatments and survived, the man who walked away was a shell of who he used to be.
Weak, fatigued, and trapped in a body that no longer felt like his own, he turned to the one thing that still gave him a sense of control: gaming. His PC became his sanctuary, and among all the worlds he explored, Skyrim remained one of his favorites—an open world where he could be strong, free, and unburdened by his failing body.
Then, he was given a choice.
Reborn into the world of Tamriel as Rashan Sulharen, a Redguard noble, he embraces his second life not as a hero on a destined path, but as a man determined to live again. The world is real, not a game, and though he carries a system -tools to carve his own path.
But fate is never so simple. Rashan is Dragonborn, a power the world may accept or reject, but before he can even think about his legacy, he must first survive. With the Great War on the horizon and darker conflicts brewing in its wake, he will have to fight—not for glory, not for destiny, but for the right to live on his own terms.
Welcome to Skyrim Series: Redguard Dovahkiin!
This story begins in Hammerfell, exploring Rashan Sulharen’s life before he arrives in Skyrim. My goal is to craft a realistic and immersive version of Tamriel, adding my own twists to how Skyrim’s world would function if treated as a true historical-fantasy setting rather than a game.
Rashan does have a system, but it is not overpowered. It plays a role in his journey, but this is a slice-of-life experience, where growth comes through effort, learning, and survival rather than game-like shortcuts.
I chose to write a Skyrim fanfiction because Naruto fanfics are oversaturated, and I haven’t seen a good Skyrim fanfic in a long time. I wanted to create something fresh, deep, and engaging while staying true to the spirit of The Elder Scrolls—but with a more grounded, realistic approach.
Reviews are loved, powerstones are greatly appreciated, and non-troll comments are always welcome! I hope you enjoy the journey.
Absolute banger of a Skyrim FF, one of the best I’ve ever read. Please make more, it makes me happy when I read this!
My main gripe with the story is the style of writing its simply wordy. Constantly saying the same exact thing in different words then getting different characters to say the same thing again as the previous 5 paragraphs to explain simple things like why bread (food) is a important thing in war and every day life. (This also makes the pacing slow as all hell) The character simply doesn’t make sense why is he so willing to put himself through the hardest options so much when ever the last time he did that he ended up a cripple with a brain injury. The overall story is fine if a bit slow.
Love the story its doesn't focus too much on magic just physical even the idea of the magic is to use restoration for physical recovery. If u want a story that focuses on physical development thwn this is for you. Btw longest review i have ever done
One of the most well written fan fics I’ve ever read and probably the best Skyrim fic I’ve read. Only complaint is we never really get any character descriptions.
Love this fic and everything about it. It has good update stability and it’s one of the best written fics I’ve ever read.
im biased because I'm a big fan of skyrim but I love this take, it's fresh for me. it starts outside skyrim and id love to see this story be just more than a skyrim tale. I like the MC, his family, and his general direction in growth. I definitely like his powers and perks, the system works and isn't overbearing. overall, great story, im binging it at the moment.
so far as of 51 chapters the story is amazing I wish the author well and good luck.
this is honestly one of the best skyrim fan-fics i've ever read and the starting point in hammerfell makes it unique to other skyrim fics
Can't complain it's great having so much fun reading it keep up the good work
Review for the first 50 chapters. It’s amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fresh take on a Skyrim ff. The setting and cultural focus is perfect. See you in the war arc.
I am really enjoying the book right now this is a good one keep up the good work 👍
An incredible Skyrim fanfiction with well-developed characters, an excellent main protagonist, and most importantly, a story that is NOT boring.
Great so far.
I absolutely love the story thus far. When it eventually starts getting attention, and it will, don't focus on the trolls and the haters. this shit is good and there aren't enough good skyrim fics!
It’s easily one of the best fan fiction I’ve ever read. You don’t just follow the storyline you created a whole entire new one just using the elements of the base game or universe and actually doing something creative with it (a true fanfiction). It’s honestly extremely impressive. You are without a doubt, extremely talented or worked really at developing your expertise in writing. As a reader, a really really appreciate even if it seems something that everyone should do, the time you put into correcting any grammar and filling plot holes, cause I can’t find any. Outstanding job I find it hilarious how gems like this are ranked so low. This needs way more recognition and support. I really enjoy this and because I’m selfish I want you to finish writing it this, that also means you need to stay healthy so don’t push yourself too hard. This isn’t an obligation. It’s a hobby and it’s only a hobby if you’re not forced to do it. Take breaks and avoid burnout. It’d be a real shame if you stop writing. In other words, it’s peak.
