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

…that’s a maybe then.

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.

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

Disclaimer:

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

A galaxy-wide creator of life found its purpose for the first time since its birth eons ago. It had wanted to see how its most beloved child would live.

However, she has died, and the one who killed her has gained even more strength.

This divine being became enraged. It had never felt such pure hatred before. It behaved a bit recklessly as a result.

It called upon an ancient power, far above it in rank. This supreme authority chose to fulfill the deity's request for vengeance. But, He sent His cute little children in His stead.

His two inexperienced kids, named Ajax and Shaula, were born as humans on the planet Earth. On the last day of their 12th grade, they are plucked from Earth by their Father and sent to a new world called Omicron. Here, they will face the greatest challenge of their lives so far, and take up the burden of their birthright.

Finding and killing a god should be the easy part of the story.

== About the tags: I hoped to match them to my story as close as possible while picking the most popular ones here. If any of them don't seem to match the story, let me know.

Life is filled with the unexpected.... more>>

Today is another normal day in life, as I passed the time with my friends to bully the cursed superd child feared in the village to show our might to her.

A water ball suddenly hit us.

The kid from the knight's office was unleashing his spell to attack us, the bully.

Never would I expect that simple water ball to create a trigger for memories to fill my brain.

I was 5 at that time, and the memories were jumbled. I don't know whether it’s mine or another's. I just know that this is not a memory of a single person.

And, from that memory, I know that I’m actually a mob...

I’m one of Sylphiette’s bullies.

You won’t know me since I am not named in any of the works, whether they were manga, novels, or even anime. Heck, I only say one word and I'm dead in the next part.

an actual mob, where I don’t even appear in either the opening or the ending of the anime.

The thing happened so suddenly.

I don’t know whether I am reincarnated, transmigrated, or just receiving some memories from someone in the real world.

The deadline is 5 years from now, the day the Metastasis incident happened. Can I be another prodigy in the Mushoku Tensei world, or will I still be another slightly better mob?

The Unity holds dominion over the breadth of space. Now, they've set their sights on the final prize. That prize? Essegena - a planet at the farthest edge of the universe, ripe for human habitation and yet so far completely untouched.... more>>

But all is not well on Essegena. Three of the colony's pioneers have vanished without a trace, and in their place a man has appeared who - according to all the records - simply does not exist. Worse still, the infant colony is beset with concerning reports of mysterious lights in the distant trees, shadowy phantoms haunting the edges of their nascent home, strange noises from high up on the cliffs.

The colonists need to stay united if they're to make Essegena a success story - but with ambitious vipers around every corner, they've never been more divided.

Once they dreamed of a fresh start, far away from their former lives. Now that dream is fast becoming a nightmare.

What to expect:

This story has slow progress at the beginning. You can expect to see multiple points of view from different characters. While it has elements of kingdom-building, it takes time before we see this happen. The early 100 chapters aren't focused on magic. The main character starts off weak but becomes stronger over time. The plot may contain some cliches. <<less

As a standard villainess in an amateur romantic fantasy novel, one must have prestigious background to grind people underfoot, a stunning appearance yet no one admires, a proverbial horrid personality only a mother would love and of course, a head filled with water.

What? She only has two days to live!?

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. ... more>>

Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead.

Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces.

“You’re not who I thought you were.”

“I despise you, Sister.”

“It’s revolting to even look at you.”

Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win.

No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them?
