“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”.

What does it mean to be a “Hero”?
Long, long years of bloodshed and violence while serving in the US Army has quenched the flames of passion and desire to help others in Mark Floyd’s heart, leaving him as an empty shell of the man he used to be; mind haunted by nightmares, body broken by alcohol (and more).
But as long as even one ember remains in a person’s heart, there is still a chance for the passion they held to be rekindled. Mark is about to get that chance, and the choice that he makes may lead him to a new hope, or destruction.

God is a pervert.... more>>

I decided that after I died and found myself in heaven.

Although I’m happy that God offered to grant my lifelong wish (to become a girl), the only potential bodies that he offered as options were beautiful bishojos with DDD-size boobs, jade-like skin, and porn-star like curves. He tried to convince me to take the one with the biggest ass and thus become the holy sex princess of some freakish isekai magic kingdom, but I immediately flushed a bright tomato color and punched God right in the face without thinking.

Ah yeah, whoops.

Anyways, I think I made God really angry at me, so now I’m reincarnated in this horrible traumatizing medieval setting as a genuinely unattractive and flat-as-a-washboard girl with some kind of weird autoimmune skin condition.

Every day is a struggle, and it’s taking everything I have to merely survive.

Is there a hope for a better life at all? Even amidst this jungle of darkness, can I find my way out of poverty, meet new people to love, and aspire to make my mark towards a better world?

Welcome to the story of my genderbent life!

Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation.

The only curse that had worked upon the Phoenix, after many failed attempts, was that of the ‘curse of enslavement’…In which case meant…That the Phoenix could be taken and have a master…
Due to the Phoenix being resistant of anything else, due to having Alpha like attributes, and this being a curse that would take years to recuperate from casting, it was one of last options that the golden winged serpent had left to do…And it had worked!
The Phoenix being enslaved was a way to stop the golden winged serpent’s ‘man’, the Dragon and the most powerful King of King’s from finding his beloved, his cherished other half and soul mate…And, for sixty years,... more>> he was unable to find her…

…I was indeed scattered, unable to have a normal life or that of an easy one…
For me to achieve what I’m am supposed to, as a Phoenix and as the Dragon’s other half…Am I willing? It is a tough journey after all, one that can’t be accomplished in one life, not even two…
With no idea of why I had felt a strange bond and no idea of the strange feeling of being incomplete, my heart is very uneasy.
For sixty years, I had felt like my life hadn’t been mine in two ways. One because I had a master for most of that time or I was not of age, but the other reason was because there was something missing…Something that I had been unclear of…
But, even feeling as though I was not whole, I had been enslaved, abused, threatened, blackmailed, scarred and used. I was tormented, sacrificed, abandoned, kidnapped and it was only twice that I had been reborn…So, being treated as such, stops me from questioning my feelings…
But it is destined, apparently, and so my path must continue…
When I finally come to know what it is that I have been looking for and what I have to do, will I be able to finish what I have started? Will I survive these endless, heartbreaking trails and be able to accomplish more and go to where my heart is yearning to lead me?
Will I…Accept my destiny!?
