Grace Pastel is a young girl who lives a cozy life in Jubilife city with her father, and for her, Pokemon battles are just something that she watches on television or online. Entertainment to be seen at a distance. After turning fifteen, she watched as young people her age got ready for their first journey across Sinnoh, all aiming to become the Champion. She usually scoffed at them, wondering how one could throw away a comfortable life in the city to risk their lives in the wild for an unobtainable goal. And yet when she was asked by her father to deliver a package to her mother living two towns over, something clicked in her... more>> brain.

Suddenly, she decided that she wanted to be the very best.

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

____________________________________

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Frost is a healer and must use her wits, modern knowledge of medicine and challenge her moral compass in order to survive this world of Eldritch entities born from emotions, folklore, fairy tales, concepts and despair.... more>>

She was no more than an ordinary man who fell into an unordinary circumstance. Suddenly appearing in a place called the Nexus in a different world from Earth had left him... er... HER curious about what this newfound world is all about.

A world of swords, kingdoms and dungeons? Yep.
Of races that were thought to be found only in fiction? Oh yeah.
Of technologies that far surpass anything seen on Earth? Huh? isn't that a bit much? At least they're limited.
And of magic that blatantly violates the laws of physics!? Yeah... physics don't apply here.

But her curiosity ended up costing her before she had learned much of the world of Elysia, and she was betrayed by a person she was led to believe she could trust the most.

Come join Frost as she tackles Eldritch entities in a strange world far from home. However, this world may be a lot more closer to home than she realizes.

< Judgement in Progress >

The ‘Blessing of the Nexus’, which she had come to call the ‘System’, displayed these words before her wilting eyes.

< Decision of One Thousand Juries Pending >

“… If… my only… wrong… is living… then I’d rather… be wrong… to the very end!”

When the black forest fused with the darkness behind her eyelids –

To be a synth is the greatest privilege an individual could be born into. What greater purpose or grander sense of fulfillment could one hope for than to be a tool of King Decon, the ruler of the Galaxy?... more>>

09T07 doesn’t know what more they want, but they know they’re missing something. Friendship? Intimacy? This seems to be the answer when they find others who are also not as King Decon intended them to be. However, how long can such things last among tools to be used and discarded? And how far are they willing to go to protect their loved ones in the face of duty?

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.

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory, climbing out of an egg. She has human knowledge that doesn’t seem to match her body. Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse. But she does need to secure resources and territory for her hive, and maybe a bit of conquest wouldn’t be so bad.

For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in.... more>>

The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless.

Yet fate had a different path in store for her.

For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being.

Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death.

She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath.

What will fate deal her next?

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

-Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages

At the tender age of ten, Kagami Ken was thrust into a life of excruciating pain, burdened by a unique illness that haunted him relentlessly.

Years later, a severe episode renders him comatose for six whole months!

Good news, he wakes up. Bad news? An unshakable intuition foretells that his days were numbered.

Driven by an irrepressible longing to seize the moments he's always been denied, he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. In a twist of fate, a surge of altruism compels him to make an astonishingly generous donation to an unsuspecting charity organization.

Little does he know that this act of kindness will capture the attention of a God-like being!

With aid from fate and his powerful acquaintance, he now finds himself reborn as Reivan Aizenwald — the half-human, half-warbeast baby of the Aizen Kingdom's royal family!

On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What chaos will he bring to this new world!?

Join me on this captivating journey and discover the untold tale that awaits within these pages!

Synopsis #2:
Tired of cookie-cutter isekai protags whom you care nothing about?

Well, have I got news for you!

[Glimpse of Eternity] is a character-driven [Reincarnation Isekai] story where I — the author — aim to have YOU care about the main character!

Feel happy when good things happen to him! Become saddened by the tragedies that afflict him...

Laugh along with him as he laughs and cry when he cries!

What are you waiting for? Give it a shot!

====================================
Disclaimers and Miscellaneous Information:

[This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated. It's like that thing One Piece did. Y'know, 25 years of filler? Goddamn. Except here, it's just 200+ pages.]

[Chapter Length: 2000 (It can only be MORE, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)]

[Chapter Release: Sunday, 11:46 pm(GMT+8). Depending on certain factors, I may post more.]

[I have sworn to the heavens that I will write this story to completion. Unless my story ends before I can finish this one, I will continue.]

[If you absolutely cannot stand stories too similar to anime/light novels, then please don't waste your time and find something else. The story's not actually styled as a light novel, but it shares some themes. Hell, the MC is Japanese. The signs are already there, so don't ignore them.]
====================================
Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! (Started on May 9, 2022!)

Constructive criticism is also very welcome.

Born in times of turmoil, orphaned at a young age, and raised amongst rowdy sellswords, young Reinhardt Edelstein joined the mercenary trade as well when he grew up.

When misfortune finally caught up with them, and the mercenary company he had been part of fell into an ambush and was decimated, he survived by chance, along with a few others.

Then he found the baton of responsibility passed on to his hand, as the adopted nephew of the late captain.

Stuck behind enemy lines, with only the tattered remnants of the once proud company around him, he strived to do his best, to rebuild the company to its former glory... Should they survive the current conflict.

Volume 1 (Complete, 58 chapters): SUCCUBATED! by the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Demoness

Succubated is a smutty gender-bender / transgender series that dives into 18+ territory every few chapters, with a lot of supernatural / modern-fantasy plot in between. If you want all smut, or all plot, this is not the series for you!

This series involves themes that you might find disturbing. We use dark themes seriously as part of character development—not gratuitously, to be edgy, or to torture the main character. Content warnings and (18+) tags are posted on chapters, but if you want more details about what you’re getting into, please read the “Tag Notes and Content Warnings” preface first!

This project is a human-AI collaboration between Krake, Clio, and Kayra (large language models run by NovelAI.net) and Emmaline Rider, a human. More details are provided in our author bio and in the “Tag Notes and Content Warnings” preface. Please don't read if you want to avoid generative AI!

Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
