"Argh, how did my life end up like this?!"... more>>

There was once a boy who's well-loved and popular with his peers. His smile could melt an adult's heart and his easygoing and sweet nature attracted a lot of girls who became his admirers.

Little did he know that such a blessed life wouldn't last forever.

Now, he is an ugly, overweight adult, working a job he doesn't like, and leading a life he doesn't want. No women want to be near him, let alone be his girlfriend, or even his wife. He is an oversized gear in a machine that doesn't even welcome him.

When he gets fired from his job, it is the last straw from him. He remembers his life as a kid, and now good and beautiful it was.

"I don't want this. I don't want this anymore!"

"I would be better off dead than having to live like this for a second longer!"

Suicidal, he passes by a flooding river, as there is a storm that day. He immediately thinks of throwing himself there, ending it once and for all.

And he does. But not because he actually has the balls to kill himself via drowning, but because he sees a little girl being carried down the river by the strong current.

In a split second, he decides that it would be better if she lives, even if he has to die in the process.

And he does. He saves her, throwing her into the side of the river. But then his legs, rarely ever used, suddenly cramp. He can do nothing as he is swallowed by the waves.

"Aah, it would be nice if I could be reincarnated into a fantasy world, like in those stories... I can do it all over, and do it better this time around..."

His wish is granted. When he wakes up, he's no longer his old, adult self. He's a baby, living in an entirely new world.

This is his story.

------

This story would have both happiness and hardships, heartwarming and sad moments, as well as romance that doesn't just end in a kiss. This is a harem story that will end up in a genuine polygamous relationship. It's also an adventure story, though it would stay as a slice-of-life for a good while as MC grows up.

For the time being, this story is on hiatus because I have decided to rewrite it.... more>>

When it is time to start publishing the new version, I hope you all check it out. Please look at my profile page for updates!

--------------------------------------
This is the story of two people, a Human and a Goddess, who lost their memories.  The Goddess, Itarr, was sealed up for hundreds of thousands of years and has regressed to being nothing more than a humanoid-like being of red energy.  The girl, Servi, woke up near a forest and died later that night.  Instead of ceasing to exist, she was brought before Itarr, who spoke of a way for them both to live.

Even though she was content with dying and fading away, Servi took Itarr up on her offer, and their souls became interconnected.  Together, as one being, they ventured forth off into the unknown world.

-----------------------------------------------
What To Expect: After Prologue One and Prologue Two, the story becomes a slow burn, and It's filled with romance and hardships. Because of the story's slow burn-like nature, character growth and development will take time to achieve. The MC-- Servi-- is overpowered, but the tension is still there. Her conflicts, for the most part, are mainly internal in nature. She has her own sets of challenges and mountains to climb, and they are different when compared to the people around her. In short, Servi's life isn't an easy one even when she has the power to destroy an army. When the main couple gets together, expect there to be descriptive sex scenes.

However, there is a content warning because this story contains depictions of gore, rape, and torture, sometimes to an excessive degree.

Thank you for reading this!

And for the glossary, I plan to update it at the end of every Book. And I have pictures for some of the characters. I'd very much like it if you could take a look at them. You can find them in the glossary.

Sam Serra was your typical loser. But somehow, he caught the attention of the most popular and gorgeous girl in school, which ultimately caused his death. ... more>>

He reincarnated in a new world, but a world of sword and sorcery. Being a reader of fantasy novels, he realized that he was in one. However, the rules of the world applied to him differently.

For one, he did not have the same abilities as the local people, who cultivated special abilities according to the skills they were born with. Instead he found himself choosing skills like in a game, with typical D&D skills.

However, as he chose to be a mage, he found that the spells he chose did not work the way he expected.

For example, one of his skills is to summon familiars. But as the world and game system had no reference to summon any familiars, it summoned instead characters from movies or TV shows that he had watched.

But in order to summon familiars, the game system was unsure of how to do so, so it searched the only way humans could procreate.... sex.

And that was one of the many differences in how his skills would work.

Not only did Sam now have a tremendous advantage in this world, but due to the differences in understanding by the game system, his time in the world would not be as straightforwards as expected. <<less

Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!... more>>

Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice.

It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more.

You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need.

Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters?

Please Note: I publish daily.
Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4342/swamp-boy). The old story (on another site) is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it. <<less

A being who is much stronger and has more freedom than that of a dungeon core. Will she adapt to her new life or will she fail and perish? ... more>>
