Read Nine Lives Archive Stories in Google Play Books

To read a Nine Lives Archive story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.

Download the story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and you do not need to install anything. Open the Nine Lives Archive downloader to get started.

Copy the address of the story from ninelivesarchive.com or ninelives.dark-solace.org. A story link usually looks like this:

http://ninelivesarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Paste the link into WP Downloader. It will recognize the archive and prepare the whole story for download.

Choose one of these formats:

• EPUB is free for everyone and works well in ebook apps.
• PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.

Google Play Books accepts both formats. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.

WP Downloader downloads complete Nine Lives Archive stories. It does not download individual chapters or lists. If the author adds chapters later, download the whole story again and upload the new file. WP Downloader cannot add chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded.

See how to download Nine Lives Archive stories for a general download guide.
