Fed up with a world where science has made every fantasy a reality and people just don’t care about stories anymore, a young video game developer named Kai uses ancient black magic to transport himself into one of his games, titled: Choices.... more>>

Disturbed by his powerlessness on Earth, Kai makes sure to give himself the ability to change this new world as he sees fit, literally.

If you were ridiculously powerful, would you throw away all your morals and do whatever you wanted? Would you find happiness? Would you find love?
Or would you end up realizing that…

Absolute power is pretty depressing.

A magician from the ancient era is reborn.

A researcher with a passion for mecha robots suddenly died.

He regretted a bit not knowing how he died though. (probably)
Fortunately a kind hearted and gentle Kami-sama give him a second chance to live again, and this time in his beloved world full of robots [MECHA].
While at it, let’s give him a little bit cheat power.
However thinking it a bit boring if it’s too predictable, the fun-loving Kami-sama prepares for him some fun surprises in this new world.... more>>

What defines endgame content? Is it raiding epic dungeons to take down the strongest bosses there are, or is it facing off against other players to climb the ladder and become the top PvPer? Is endgame content gathering materials and crafting the strongest and most exotic equipment that there is, or is it all about playing the market and amassing more wealth than everybody else? Some people even argue that fashion and minigames are endgame content!... more>>

Ryouta has already done all of that. Having spent most of his life playing MMO after MMO, he now finds himself wanting to live a virtual life that is far more relaxed and casual than what he is known for.

To Ryouta, the true endgame is fishing.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

And with his world he too believed himself dead.

And truly during a momment he felt himself dead but in the next he woke.

And what greeted him was the place that he dreamt often in his sleep.

He was home, and he was in the time before the cataclysm. His neighbour was arguing with his wife. His dog was no where to be seen but surely was fucking some poor bastard pet.

Well, and he was fucking taking a shower.

Remembering all times that he killed for a fucking slurp of water he quickly got out.

Why was the day so sunny? Ha! The last day before the cataclysm was such a beautiful day. Fuck, even a fucking volcanic eruption in the middle of the city would be beautiful compared with the cataclysm.

Tomorrow people will DIE and he doesn't give a fuck. <<less

In his 60 years of life, he'd built up a good legacy and looked on to spending his later years quietly teaching his students the martial arts he'd cultivated over the years while working as a nurse for his day job. He'd long since saved enough for his retirement, but he just could not leave the profession of helping those who needed it.... more>>

In his younger years, he'd traveled the globe and, during his time in Japan, learned a historical preservation of a martial art that claimed to be Ninjutsu. Although, as he would learn, it was actually a Samurai art that the Ninja supposedly learned to infiltrate. Bottom line, it was effective.

His son had even enrolled his granddaughter into his studio in the kid's class. After practice one day, he decided to take his granddaughter for ice cream. This is when everything went wrong.

After the accident on the freeway, he was fine. His granddaughter was not. It was at this moment something supernatural happened. A ghostly vision claiming to be a fallen goddess promised him she could take his vitality in order to heal his granddaughter. In so doing, he would die but his granddaughter would live. Regretting his actions which caused his granddaughter's predicament, he agreed immediately. Next thing he knew, he regained consciousness in the womb of what would be his new mother, and next to him was his twin, a twin he would later discover was the very goddess who helped him to save his granddaughter.
