Synopsis:

Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all.

But is it all just a dream?

With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him?

Author's Note:

Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either.

I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

Warnings:

> Incest
> Dark Elements
> Sexual Content
> Traumatising Content
> Gore
> Manipulative MC
> Sexual Abuse
> Parallel World (Almost a New World)
> Fantasy Elements (Full-fledged Fantasy later)
> System

My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God.... more>>

I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away...

That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated.

Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage.

Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

"Let's leave my origins. We both have unspeakable origins. But the problem is I know of your origins. Galan of Taa." John said. Galactus' eyes squinted as John said his real name out loud. He never expected someone totally out of nowhere knew his actual name.... more>>

"Never expected an unknown guy would know my origins. So what of it? I don't think it matters where I came from." Galactus replied.

"It doesn't. You did what you had to do to survive. But the problem is you made a deal with the devil." John replied. Galactus looked at John with more stoic eyes now. He had done many things in the past and he made many bad decisions. He just wasn't sure what John was referring to so he was silent. John seeing that Galactus was silent and refused to speak said

"Black Winter is coming!!"

When a cinephile and an otaku/weeb travels through dimensions and gets a system which can only be described as overpowered but comes with restrictions. At first he was overjoyed with the system but soon realizes that he is in a very dangerous world where his life was at risk all the time.

Disclaimer : I am not an economist so I might have done some mistakes in the economics section of the story. If you have suggestions to make it better you can leave in the comments.

Warning - The MC won't be OP from the start itself and will grow to a powerful character in due time. The starting feels a bit weird because I am totally new to writing a novel and English is my second language. I don't have an editor so the conversations and descriptions might be little stiff. I am trying to improve.

P.S. This story is based on Marvel multiverse
P.S. 2 The picture is not owned by me <<less

Amazing cover made by Lord Valmar, who has somehow managed to make a great cover for all the books of mine that he's read :)))... more>>

A 27-year-old American named Ryan was doing his usual morning run through a forest in the United States Midwest when he was attacked by a magical orb that transported him to another world. While in this other World, he finds himself captured by a tribe of Dark Elves that summoned him and another human. This other guy that was captured with Ryan, is a Japanese teen who goes by the name Hiro.
Unfortunately for Ryan, Hiro is a delusional edgy otaku who believes he's the Main Character and thinks he can get away with anything.
This just adds more of an obstacle for Ryan to overcome. And he's worried about what the Dark Elves are... more>> planning to do with them as they force them to kill monsters. Causing their bodies to absorb mana.
At some point the Dark Elves get attacked by a holy group known as the Divine Three, who are trying to rid the world of all subspecies, try to murder him. Ryan barely escaped with his life only for him to get chased by goblins into a Labyrinth. And worst of all, the mana from all the humans and monsters he had slayed has been affecting his body in weird ways as he begins to transform into a Dark (Female?!?) Elf with the extremely rare ability to heal anything.

Volume 2:

After surviving the events in the Tomb of the Horde. Rya (Ryan) and her new friends (Quinus, Dalia, Percy, and Sir George) make it to the old Dwarven City of Ironside. There she gets a rude awakening about how much people fear Dark Elves. And worst of all, she can't fight her attraction towards Crown Prince Quinus. She needed to prove that she was still a man, at heart and went, by herself, to a brothel. After failing to achieve what she was hoping for a Mercenary group who goes by the name "Black Roses" collared her with a rare and powerful slave collar. They plan to use her Earth Magic to kill the Dwarves and take over the city.
Lucky Quinus finds out that Rya was captured and raises an army with Baron Zellin Coldforge to free Rya and stop the Mercenary group who are in league with his Uncle.

Volume 0 (technically it was my third volume but it's a prequel):

A 30-year-old German, Emil, was rock climbing with a friend in Greece. A storm came out of nowhere and he repelled off the end of his rope and everything went black. He found that the afterlife was dark, boring, and surprisingly cramped. After months of being trapped in this place, he started to believe he was in hell. Until he painfully squeezed out of his new mother. Now reborn as the only heir to the throne of Fiafyr. Prince Quinus must learn to adjust to this new fantasy world he's been born into. While his uncle (Duke Alaric Revelia) tries to plot his death so his son can be the only heir. He hires an assassin (Wina Daz) to infiltrate the palace as a wet nurse. But the fates decided to throw in a curve ball when the elixir that Wina ordered from an Alchemist (that was designed to make her lactate) wasn't fully complete. And since she was up against the clock, she took it away. Causing not only making her slender body become voluptuous but also healing her womanhood. That was mutilated as part of her assassin's training. She finds herself falling for one of the strongest knights in all of Fiafyr and starts to grow a conscience. Can she complete her mission or will she be hunted by the Assassin's Society for betraying her client? <<less

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.

I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending.... more>>

Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden.

Someone every reader hated!

“I’m the protagonist’s sister…”

However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending!

“I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.”

...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way!

And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me.

[The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!]
[She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!]
[He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!]
[Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!]

There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around.

[The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!]
[He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.]
[She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!]
[She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!]
[He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!]

They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them.

“I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…”

What to Expect:
- Fast-paced Action and LitRPG Progression, Skill Copy and Fusion, Crafting, with Dungeon and Other Worlds Exploration.
- Constellations based on all sorts of both Historical and Mythological figures.
- A colorful cast of side characters full of life, the original Protagonist changes and becomes a better person.
- A smart MC that abuses her knowledge of the story to become REALLY OP.
- A story that doesn't go by the script, the butterfly effect the character creates affects the story and doesn't leave it as it was supposed to be, unlike many other similar stories.
- Solo Player is of my own creation, and this novel is NOT a fanfic.

My Grammar is not the best, and I am not a native english speaker, so I'm doing my best to improve. I would appreciate anybody pointing out the mistakes.

What to expect: This story is going to be a LitRPG set in a fantasy world. However, unlike many LitRPG’s, the system has both a definite beginning and definite limits to what it is able to accomplish – rather than a singularly omnipotent, omniscient being that is tied to the laws of the world, the way systems are usually presented in LitRPG’s, the system is close to both, but has definite limits and rules which it operates by.

I have reincarnated as a Dragon. I can't remember who I am or how I got here. I remember I was an enthusiast of fantasy stories but now that I'm a part of it, I am less than thrilled. Not only does all my senses feel wrong, but I was also reincarnated inside a forest where the most dangerous creatures lurked. I wasn't just reincarnated. I was completely reborn as an infant Dragon. I even had to make an effort to break myself out of the egg. Now that I'm out, how I wish that I have never come outside. It is a tough world out there.

A/N: This is one of the stories I have written on a whim. I have a repertoire of half-written stories in my library. And this is one of them. And the cover isn't mine. Found it on google.

Another Harry Potter reincarnation fanfic, but this time the main character became an Enderman from Minecraft – thanks, Wanderer.

I've seen a couple of fanfics where the main character has the power of an Enderman or the main character is an Enderman, but they are all either abandoned or poorly written. (At least the ones I could find.) So, I decided to write my own fanfic in the world of Harry Potter.

5 chapters a week, one every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (each minimum 1.5k)

What to expect:

- An edited story cleaned up around chapter 235 and then reposted

- 2 protagonists, leaning more toward one at the start and with more added later, but only ever one plot thread

- A power set where the main characters are intricately linked with each other, rising and falling as a group

- A fast paced story without much extraneous fluff

- Intrigue and manipulation (Describing one of the main characters, one of my readers wrote: I think this might be the first time I see a "reincarnated" spy in a webnovel that actually feels like she does intrigue and manipulation, instead of just solving all her problems through brute force)

- Dragon Ball Z level power scaling, with the main characters able to blow up planets by chapter 250

- A very, very slow burn romance

- Common webnovel tropes normally done poorly twisted for the author's amusement to make more sense and work in the story

- Main characters without the best morals

Content Warning:

One lead in the story is suicidal at the start and undergoing a pretty bad breakdown, while the other is possibly even more messed up, only better at hiding it. Their need for therapy is a plot point, and, given the nature and length of the story, they mess up a lot before they get better. <<less
