For years Sora has been viciously harassed by bullies, being subject to physical, psychological, and emotional torture from middle school to high school. This, however,... more>> is going to change as Sora’s sixteenth birthday draws near; reality begins to twist as myths and legends surround her. She starts to change from a demure teenage girl to something else as she struggles to come to terms with her new transformation. <<less

For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of schizophrenia and childhood bereavement.... more>>

Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, that is — self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician — and learns she’s not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits, and her twin sister who supposedly never existed could still be alive, somewhere Outside, beyond the walls of reality.

Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and danger. Sometimes the monsters wear nice dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes you find you have more in common with them than you think. Perhaps this is Heather’s chance to be something more than the defeated husk she’d grown up as, to find real friendship and meaning among things like herself - and perhaps, out there on the rim of the possible, to bring her twin sister back from the dead.

The swarm.
A unitary force of countless entities.
Nightmarish creatures from the darkest depths.
All working towards a greater purpose.
Simply fulfilling their role in a complex system.
Abducted from the world I know I am now forced to become a part of this.
Forced to help these horrors to increase their power.
However, they are not mindless killers.
There might be a way for me.
I could influence them from the inside.
To prevent that anyone has to die.
To protect the ones I love.
Maybe I can adjust.... more>>

Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and an obsessive compulsion to follow an arbitrary set of Rules, tries to live a normal life in a world where superhumans battle eldritch horrors invading minds. Society frowned on different, and she was content with playing along if the world didn't bother her. That was one of the many Rules she followed.... more>>

Unfortunately, the world couldn't help but bother Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity offered powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll allow her to bother the world that bothered her.

This is to be a story about a transmigration from the current modern world to a cross dimension and surviving and growing in a fantasy place. Could you change your environment? One of the Main Characters are propelled by their heart to a dungeon core, and is forced to make a choice. To help or not to help that is the question. Now where should they make a new home? The MC's goal is to change monsters from fearful creatures into a new type of people. A new nitche in society could spring forth from the core and monsters. But is it possible to co-exist with humans so long... more>> as you remain humane? Will it be possible to make a home and workers from monsters? Time will tell what kind of Core Sakura is. And how will these monsters do around the people of this fantasy world. Assets to everyone or a walking hazard, time will tell.
Elements of dungeons, elf's, magic, and much much more as we follow John the Migrant, and Sakura the Dungeon core in their adventures or miss adventures as they try their hand in the world.

Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

It's mine. <<less

The Ripple occurred in the 21st century that changed the world as we once knew it. The face of the world had changed drastically when... more>> monsters started to be found wondering in the cities and dungeons erupted in strange places. The new heroes of the world are those with classes. Many of these new heroes inherited their special class and were able to start leveling up when the ripple happened. Some people gained a new class when certain requirements were meet, and others gained a class from books from dungeons. But most common people like Johann had never been gifted by a class and have to continue working their life the same way as everyone else. And only those with a class can enter a dungeon to gain further riches.
Johann is discriminated even worse because there is no where for him to move up while working at Sauropod Station. He has to wait on people at the register, clean up their trash, and put up with everything while trying to keep a smile. But this all is about to change when he finds a class book and becomes Gas Station Sauropod's first and only necromancer. Pity that dealing with the dead is a complete taboo and is entirely considered anti-hero to the point legislators have outlawed ownership of books dealing with necromancy and other horror based abilities. So how will he deal and how can he get in dungeons when all normal people consider this unsavory. <<less

Have you ever felt betrayed, hurt, used, humiliated? Have you ever been kind and caring to people who were never worth it? Have you ever questioned the meaning of your existence in this world?... more>>

If we knew what life had in store for us, we would probably refuse to be born. And that's why life is wise to deceive us.

And today, humanity is facing threats that could lead to its downfall. One thing is for sure, Pandora's box has been opened, hoping that it will not be the twilight of humanity. <<less

200 years in the future Earth is inhabited by aliens. After being colonized by the Regal Empire and gaining independence, Earth now has hybrids called... more>> astrals.

Ace tries his hardest, but his hardest is never enough, and is always worried he isn't as strong as everyone else, trying to prove he's a hero and a man.
One day he finds a magic watch. A watch that hates him.
His dreams of becoming a hero will finally come true. Sadly he is too focused on winning and never learns. <<less

A series of one-shots from single chapter length to novel length, that answer questions about what could have happened.

[Volume 1] Rosalie Edgeworth: the queen bee of Lassen Academy and Janet Fleming’s two-faced nemesis. Why does the school seem to revolve around Rosalie? How can Prince Blaise not see her for the bitch she really is? And why won’t the Prince even listen to Janet’s side of it? In the aftermath of Rosalie’s latest schemes, Janet finds the answer in unexpected allies: ghost-clones of herself, a weird little-sister shop owner, a bespectacled folklore otaku, a sluggard knight, three ghost-obsessed girls, and two former saintess candidates, among others. Meeting these people leads Janet to the truth about Rosalie’s identity and a dangerous conspiracy surrounding her.... more>>

[Volume 2] Lady Lilian Dorian has been impersonating Rosalie Edgeworth to keep control of the Prince and Classroom 1-3C with rumors, sex, and spells. After uncovering the truth, Janet and her school mates find themselves outnumbered and in need of allies. So they keep a low profile amidst a school investigation as they train their powers with more allies: three talking statuettes, the talking bust of a former knight-at-arms, a talking suit of armor, a duke with a cousin complex, and an overprotective marquess father. Despite the hellish training, Janet plays Lady Dorian’s two-faced game a little too well for Lady Dorian to take things lying down. <<less

The Cataclysm. ... more>>

The end of the world.

When one wakes up in a world destroyed with rot and overtaken by the undead, survival should be one's number 1 priority.

However survival is no longer an option.

As he awakens one day, Marcus finds that he is no longer alone in this world.

Ever.

[It is only through experiencing death and destruction... that you will truly know the meaning of suffering.]

[And the demented nature of humanity.]

[And what better place to experience such things... than in a world which has been ruined?]

This is the story of a man and a monster.

[Man and monster... are they not one and the same?]

Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. <<less

Arc 1 & 2 - A small Nomad colony reports that thousands of people missing and no one dares to look into it, Diego Harley decides to investigate and becomes the fascination of dark, dangerous creatures that begin to obsess over him, putting everyone around him in danger as they try to claim him for their own perverted, reckless desires...... more>>

Arc 3 - As the dust settles from the clash in arc 2, the corruption spreads and catches the attention of larger players within the universe, but as the crew some come to find, someone doesn't need to be corrupted- to be thoroughly corrupt. Might meets desire as the Rewritten expand their operations and show the universe that they are here to stay whilst Diego tries to find a way out of his new situation.

18+ only - This is a very adult story from the very beginning with strong focus on futanari on male action, it does have good story elements however (so i've been told) - if that doesn't put you off, please continue. Features anthropomorphic characters, violence, corruption, aliens and an awful lot of goo.

This is a rewrite of the first arc of my Sweet Venom series, which can be found here - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/367460/sweet-venom/
as the original was written over 10 years ago at this point and I wanted to try writing something that was a little more modern and placed less of a focus on Diego getting is ass wrecked, at least from the beginning anyway.

Level 1 (GREEN) - Vanilla sex scenes, likely to be male on female
Level 2 (AMBER) - More diverse and "saucier" sex featuring the corrupted cast and futa biology
Level 3 (RED) - Scenes involving more alien biology, more fetish based work, potential soft non-con
Level 4 (BLACK) - Unusual fetishes and potentially offensive scenes with hard non-con being a possibility <<less

For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive.... more>>

While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish.

It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own.

Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be? ... more>>

Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing?

They do not.

When you are not doing anything, we stay still.

To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game.

But at least, you have your own life.

While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads.

This is my destiny.

I'm not jealous. Not at all.
