This is a "Second Coming of Gluttony" fanfiction... ... more>>

Alex Diaz, a young man born on Earth in a highly advanced future, where discrimination and human conflicts are things of the past, where resources are infinite, and technology is so advanced that artificial intelligence, immersive virtual reality, and nanotechnology are everyday things.

They allow humanity to enjoy experiences such as diving into the depths of the ocean, flying in the immensity of the sky, strolling in space, or immersing themselves in unimaginable adventures in the infinite worlds of virtual reality created. With so many wonderful things that can be done, young Alex cannot enjoy any of them due to a rare birth condition that only allows him to see and hear; the rest of his body has no other function, and despite technological and medical advances, no cure could be found.

Therefore, the best specialists in the medical field decide to perform the first brain and soul transplant surgery in human history and give Alex the opportunity to live the life he has not been able to, but things do not always turn out as expected.

The map is on your skin and the hunt is on.
Kaleb wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters with a new tattoo that he doesn't remember getting. A sadistic and wise cracking system tells him that he's one of 10,000 people who have been transported to Celestia. The catch? They each have a piece of a map on their skin and some very powerful people are vying to collect those pieces.
He'll face monsters and cultists alike as he has to fight for his right to not be skinned alive in a world full of people who desperately want to do just that. The only way to ensure his safety, is... more>> to gain power.

<Welcome players, to Celestia!
You are the newest residents of this little slice of heaven, lucky you.
This is a world filled with peoples of all races, monsters, magic and even the odd dragon or two.
How great does that sound? It’s literally every nerd’s dream come true right?
So, what’s the catch?
You’re being hunted!
That’s right folks, all 10,000 of you have been gifted a brand-new tattoo, completely free of charge. Each tattoo is a wholly unique and different part of a map. The Celestial Map to be precise, not that I expect you to know what that means.
Our prestigious hunters are oh so very eager to put that map back together again, piece by agonising piece.
They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They want to skin you all alive so run or you’ll get flayed!
The map is on your skin and starting now, the hunt is on.
Good look out there, players. We hope you enjoy your stay in the idyllic and welcoming world of Celestia.>

In Bleach, with mediocre talent, the protagonist has been flatlining for thirty years.... more>>

But with the sudden completion of the Zanpakuto conception, he has become a "sword person."

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "unrestricted swords."

Since Soul Society does not allow two identical Zanpakutos to exist, then I just won't use my Zanpakuto, and that should be fine, right?

Who is the strongest in the Zanjutsu category: Zangetsu or Zangetsu: Black?

Who is the number one in Assassination Techniques: Ichimonji or Suzumebachi?

Which is stronger: Kinshara or Senbonzakura?

Can the Yami no Tachi Shura and Yami no Tachi Rasetsu compete for the title of the strongest Zanpakuto?

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "swords," all the "swords" in the world are mine. Yamamoto, even you, the head of the 1st Division, "Black," cannot take away my "swords."

Alex was an ordinary person with the dream of one day being transmigrated to a magical world.... more>>

But what he didn't expect is that he would be transmigrated to a world much more than that, a world he knew very well, but instead of being given a system that would empower him, he was given a system that allowed him to make games, and the more people played, the more powers he would get.

Tony Stark: Son of a bitch, I can do in real life everything this Watch Dogs guy does, but why can't I stop playing?

Hulk: HULK HATES DARK SOULS!!! HULK SMASH DARK SOUS ARRRHHHHGGG!!!

Nick Fury: If any agent can't complete the Hitman game by next week, that agent will be fired from the Shield!

Brand new Isekai inspired by Chainsaw Man and Gurren Lagann!... more>>

Good news, Grim Hearts got a new lease on life after 18 long years.

Bad news, he got Isekai'd a few minutes after he decided to take his life back.

Worse news, the universe he ended up in is a chaotic mess. Don't like the world you spawned in and want to go somewhere else? Death is the only way to travel between worlds. Have a specific world you want to visit when you die? Yeah, no. Spawns are random. Finally hit level 99? Congrats! Now you need to do it nine more times.

At least Grim died with some fight in him. 

------------------------------

What to Expect:

- Character Focus (this may not be for you if you don't like stories that get emotional)
- Comedy (this story will have some heavy moments, but it's a comedy first)
- Steadily Increasing Stakes (the story starts with fairly low stakes that go up each volume)
- Semi-Humorous System (inspired by Dungeon Crawler Carl)
- *Non-Consensual Death Battles (Volume 1 Exclusive)
- *Stand Battles & Light BDSM (Volume 2 Exclusive)
- *Furry Zombie Apocalypse (Volume 3 Exclusive)

This is a story about learning to fight through adversity, even/especially when you don't feel strong enough to do that. I hope you enjoy it! <<less

“Kiryu lived as a person who always followed the rules, be it at work or with other people. But he would only let loose his... more>> darker desires on a space game where he was a magnate commanding a vast empire.

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.

---------------------------------------

Expect:

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

-World building

-Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures

-Occasional action

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance

-Politics, barring passing views and mentions

-A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one

Earth was ending. He tried to save it with science. She betrayed him. Together they almost started World War III.... more>>

Now their home is facing an invasion of monsters and extraterrestrial forces, but it's no longer their problem.

They're dead and soon to be reborn as monsters. Instead of saving their world, their job will be to destroy another one.

But there is something wrong with his mind, and she'll have to work hard to keep him from getting himself killed.

Oh, and the universe seems to function like a litrpg.

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

"All right, boys and girls, quit sucking your ma's teats. It's high time we bloody earn our paychecks!"... more>>

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.

Would he succeed in etching his name in the annals of history? Or would he end up as a mere footnote instead?

Only time will tell…

Chapters will range from 1-2k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

---------------------------------------

Expect:

-War, with little to no punches pulled.

-Army building

-Tragedies, and dark Comedy/gallows humor.

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.

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less

What happens when myths become our reality? For Saxon, it means a lot more mysteries he needs to solve.... more>>

From gods like Hermes to scientific theories like Schrödinger's cat to legends of human history like King Leonidas to cryptids like Bigfoot, anything can become a myth. It is avatars who bring those myths into reality. In exchange, they are granted powers based on their interpretation of the mythos they embody.

Saxon is one such avatar, but that's not all he is. Saxon's a detective too, and despite his passion for wild theories, and willingness to bend the law a li̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ lot to test them, he's pretty good at what he does.

So when avatars start exhibiting unnatural behavior, Saxon may be the only person who can figure out what or who is the cause.

Welcome to Fable, a city of myth and mystery. <<less
