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.

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

[Volume 1] Rosalie Edgeworth: the queen bee of Lassen Academy and Janet Fleming’s two-faced nemesis. Why does the school seem to revolve around Rosalie? How can Prince Blaise not see her for the bitch she really is? And why won’t the Prince even listen to Janet’s side of it? In the aftermath of Rosalie’s latest schemes, Janet finds the answer in unexpected allies: ghost-clones of herself, a weird little-sister shop owner, a bespectacled folklore otaku, a sluggard knight, three ghost-obsessed girls, and two former saintess candidates, among others. Meeting these people leads Janet to the truth about Rosalie’s identity and a dangerous conspiracy surrounding her.... more>>

[Volume 2] Lady Lilian Dorian has been impersonating Rosalie Edgeworth to keep control of the Prince and Classroom 1-3C with rumors, sex, and spells. After uncovering the truth, Janet and her school mates find themselves outnumbered and in need of allies.

Despite the hellish training, Janet plays Lady Dorian’s two-faced game a little too well for Lady Dorian to take things lying down. <<less

Celia, who had been a puppet playing to the tune of the government, had spent her life fighting creatures called "Visitors", who had been invading earth for centuries, for as long as she could remember.

Said villainess, equipped with a few minor... personality quirks, offended the female lead at the beginning, and was promptly cut right out of the story.

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

"Such a contradictory belief." he thought often, despite not being religious.

So... was it his fate to be robbed of his life, work, and family ? His relationship wasn't the best with his family, but he did his best to slowly fill in the cracks he had made.
But that didn't matter anymore. His chances were taken.

By what ? Why ? How ?

"I... I didn't ask for any of this." he lamented, pressure in his throat welling up.

Was it his fate to die meaninglessly and wake up in this foreign, powerless body ? This body, this beauty, this world. It felt so wrong.

How was he to live ? Could he even accept this ? Will he... accept this and move on ?

Simultaneously, the wife, with her effervescent spirit, introduces a splash of spontaneity and joy into the CEO's regimented existence. Through her, he discovers the beauty of life beyond boardrooms and balance sheets, learning that happiness can be found in the simplest of moments.

Together, they navigate the complexities of their relationship, each leaving an indelible mark on the other's life. The story unfolds as a journey of self-discovery, love, and growth. Through trials and tribulations, laughter, and tears, this unlikely couple strives to bridge the gap between their worlds and find a harmonious balance.

As the pages turn, the tale of this arranged marriage transforms into a narrative of transformation, breaking stereotypes, and proving that love can indeed bloom in the most unexpected places. Will the workaholic CEO learn to appreciate the beauty of spontaneity, and will the carefree college student find satisfaction in structure? Join them on this rollercoaster ride of matrimony, where differences become the threads that weave their extraordinary happy-ever-after story. <<less

The story itself is heavily influenced by British folklore like King Arthur, Harry Potter, Roman History, Church History, the neverending story, and a few others but as far as I'm aware there should be no copyright or trademark issues. Still, most might see some parallels because when I started to write the story it was meant to be an exercise.
