When my curiosity got the better of me in the afterlife, I ended up reincarnating with several things I wasn't supposed to have, like my memories. But I got a second chance at life, and I wasn't going to waste it. Making a nice home in a dungeon, adopting an abandoned girl as my little sister, for someone who died alone, poor, and full of stress, I had everything I wanted and all the stuff I hated were gone.... more>>

BOOK 1: The Two Fools
The Bleak Walker named Nolan fought through the light's war. He marched on with his fellow rank-and-file soldiers and held the line for the Heroes against the army of the Overlord of Demons, so that they can save the world from the darkness.

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

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.

"When life gives you lemons, you should be grateful that it is only lemons. It could have been AIDS." - Hilda Caligari... more>>

Just because life throws you away as worthless does not mean death has the same ideas. The chance to be reborn and live a second life is tempting, assuming you don't get stabbed to death or worse. For a former sociopath experiencing emotions might seem troubling, until the realisation sets in that they are now alone and stranded in a new world in a female body. Of course, alone discounts the distinctly demonic, succubus looking spirit stitched to their soul, who has an uncomfortable love of sharp objects, knives and stabbing things. All of the things.

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
