Kaori never signed up to be a ninja, in fact, her business had just started to show signs of success when she was thrown into the world of Naruto. All she wanted was a normal life, a cup of lukewarm tea, and maybe a pet pug... won't say no to a couple of millions. But here she was, somehow inducted into the ANBU's Barrier and Security department – a guaranteed low-key job of being stealthy and keeping tabs on some unimportant lamb. Except the world seemed hellbent on making her life a living hell.... more>>

Then came the card system – now, she can collect cards that grant jutsus, tools, rare bloodline abilities, and even... people. Talk about a game-changer! The gears in Kaori's mind started to turn. Maybe, just maybe, she could carve out her own little force, a small ninja army that could ensure that she survives the world-ending wars each Friday, and maybe even get a decent retirement.

Her new mission seemed promising enough – a simple surveillance job.

"It's a simple enough job, all you have to do is keep an eye on someone."

Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

But Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them all.

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.

Suffering the machinations of family, Remus is sent to the newly built border city of Greltheaven. A place filled with opportunities but also dangers.... more>>

If it had been up to him, he would have stayed in the safety of the empire, slowly building his business as he had planned, but he did not have a choice, either go to the dangerous city or live a mediocre life.

Which he is not willing to do.

Swearing revenge, he packed his bags and moved to Greltheaven, a city of great dangers and fortune.

A brothel is not an easy business to run, much less get success, but since fate had so kindly decreed it upon him, he will not only run the brothel but will make it immensely successful.

He had plans, big plans for it; he only hoped the city would remain standing long enough to turn his small business into an empire.

As a young lord from a noble family, Ethan was destined for a life of luxury and glory, but unfortunately, fate was cruel, and as soon as he finished his awakening ritual, it turned him into a cripple, condemning him to a life of pain and suffering that would only end with his death.

What do you need to know before reading this novel?
1: I hate NTR with all my heart, so we won't have that here. But there will be netori (the protagonist stealing wives).
2: This is a harem, wish-fulfillment novel with a system. Expect sexualized characters and exaggerated, unrealistic proportions.
3: Powerful protagonist, heir to ancestral power, strong-minded, and not a dense Japanese virgin.
4: Domination by Snusnu, enemies becoming lovers, kingdom building, and massive military confrontations.
5: There are lots of interesting humanoid races.
6: explicit violence, explicit sexual content, and possibly traumatic content.

Warning: Not all girls will be integrated into the main harem and will keep their relevance to the story. You'll know if a girl is important or not by how much I explore her feelings and history. <<less

Humanity has surpassed itself.... more>>

Hunger, war, and death; they all have been abolished. Now in their place amongst the stars, with every ailing already solved, humans find themselves colonizing the cosmos for the sake of entertainment and diversion. The Project Tycoon, humanity's greatest initiative, gifts every human a planet for them to control and manage. Their word, their law. Only one truth rings above all else, contribute to humanity's progress!

Now using my knowledge of robotics, quantum communications, and ceaseless funding; I will win this game.

Project Tycoon is a hard sci-fi story that takes elements from many fictional stories and videogames, plus taking all my wrong engineering knowledge. Expect references to common sci-fi tropes plus mentions from newly published papers. <<less

Waking up adrift in an ancient battleground, Alex is left dazed and confused with no clue how she ended up trapped aboard a failing vessel. With only a mysterious voice in her head to guide her she must act in order to survive.

All she knows for sure is that she could die at any minute.

But she is not going to go down without a fight.

Follow Alex on her adventure as she upgrades her ship, forges new friendships, encounters new enemies, and does her best to balance her humanity with her growing abilities.

What to expect: an action-packed *soft* sci-fi ship girl space opera that’s perfect for readers who love survival, military sci-fi and a sprinkling of progression / gamelit with stakes that grow with our protagonist. Also girls might end up kissing, so if that is terrifying, be warned.

What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world?... more>>

Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed?

Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him.

Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices...

Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!).

[This story is a modern world LitRPG where I try and balance the real world, the other world and various character-development scenarios. The pace can be described as 'measured', as there is a lot of 'slice-of-life' style events to balance 'number-go-up' and Territory capture]

What can you expect from this story? MC and side characters who are flawed and make mistakes, but ultimately grow and change, bettering themselves and the world around them. Yes, the MC does start off a bit weak and whiny, but he does get over it as the story progresses. It's a slow burn though.

Likewise Harem and romance. it is most definitely harem, though again it's a slow burn and not easy to reach. There are some r18 scenes with them, but these don't happen until a fair way into the story.

Real-world consequences of power. I'm trying to explore this slowly, so expect politics down the line.

Base-building in both the real and the other world, growing power, money, influence and more. it's a slow burn but a focus.

Cultivators, Faeries, Demons, Gods and more, though again, it takes a while for more and more of these to appear.

Update schedule - Minimum of 3 Chapters Per Week, between 3-5 Per Week is the aim. This is the schedule since it is now up-to-date with Royal Road. <<less

Hello everyone this is Pride from Shadow Library.

First I just want to tell you all, that this is my first novel and English is not my first language so there will be some mistakes.

second. I hope you enjoy the ride with me as we delve deep in the story. my goal is to write a story I want to read later and I hope you share this passion with me as a reader, and always remember: The only thing that matters is a good story.

One more thing, the story sometimes delves into dark themes, especially when the MC displays his brutality, so please read with caution.

Dreu Guillotin was an ordinary peasant living in the town of Berkton when an army of demons attacked. Faced with impending doom, he discovered the... more>> dormant power within him.

Jason knew how he was going to die next. He's been Yagura for a month now and there's a Tailed-Beast living inside him, he knew how he was going to die next.
Nobody wants to die, not even those that have done it before. Navigating the world as Yagura Karatachi, Elite Jounin of Kirigakure and Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Beast would be dangerous enough on its own but as a Kage-candidate for Fourth Mizukage, he's far too attractive for the likes of Obito and Madara to ignore.
The true Yagura is destined for a near decade under Obito's genjutsu and his village the piggybank of the Akatsuki's plans. He can't let that happen and... more>> not just because he's caught up in it now.
***

Allo, just wanna say this fanfic is my second go at envisioning a character in the position of supreme power; Kage. As Kages don't regularly do missions and violence often comes to them instead, there will be fewer fight scenes until Yagura/Jason begin to face the big threat to the Shinobi world. As such I'll mostly be exploring what *right* decisions Kirigakure could have taken and the challenges to those decisions post 3rd shinobi war, as well as trying to pre-empt Obito's Akatsuki with the current Kages; Onoki, Ay, Rasa, and Hiruzen/Minato.
As an aspect of the fic, it will be very Yagura/Kiri-centric with other villages and characters having interlude chapters in between. I am taking this route because, well, it's interesting and I want to discover more of what Kirigakure and its Legendary Swordsmen could have been.
Anyway, hope you enjoy. <<less

The System Apocolypse strikes the world with startling suddenness, portalling in foreign races and collapsing the human world into chaos. In the world now changed, Jessica Ruda, a twisted, megalomaniacal young woman with delusions of grandeur and more kinks than an accordion, can finally unleash her (barely) suppressed urges, as the System helps her to develop cheaty life/death/sex powers, and her desire for conquest swells.... more>>

Come and witness another tropey system story, filled with barely edited drivel about poorly described sex, war and politics. Experience vicariously through the characters of Jessica's universe; horrifying creatures born of science and sorcery, broken worlds, people and places, cheaty skills, mind-breaking magic, and countless cringey tropes you never asked for. <<less

The galaxy teeters on the brink of collapse. An era of decay has begun, marked by an unprecedented concentration of world-ending power.

A misunderstanding allowed Orion to be summoned before the goddess of war instead of his best friend, who had initially annoyed the goddess. ... more>>

Luckily for Orion, the misunderstanding was cleared by the goddess’s sister, who also allowed Orion to understand the true reason behind his summoning.

With his mind made up to not only live as he pleases but also prevent the two goddesses from fading into obscurity, Orion’s soul safely transmigrated into the game world.

Upon waking up in this new world, Orion discovered he had woken up in the body of a prince who also happened to be a villain in the game.

In the game, Prince Orion Azvameth was fated to not only lose his half-sister and her mother but was also destined to lose his personal maid, who sacrificed herself for him.

As if the cruelty he was meant to suffer wasn’t enough, his kingdom was destined to be plagued with both internal and external problems while he was destined to die at the hands of the protagonist after being used as a puppet by a Greater Demon.

With all this weighing on his mind, Orion vowed to not only change his fate but also that of those he cared about.

However, his actions were bound to create a butterfly effect, and what better way to defy the odds than by ruling the world. <<less
