He wasn't human at all, nor was his best friend who seemed to hide everything from him. Now that the two are forced to marry, how will Yuki escape his feelings when he's trapped side by side with his crush in space?... 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

Alexander Graham was a genius of his time, with just thirty years of age he managed to invent a water combustion engine, a powerful device capable of creating energy with the use of water... sadly, the elite of the world was not ready for his creation to become mainstream.

Despite possessing an overwhelming will for creation and science, Alexander Graham was fated to never be big in his world. But nobody said anything about another world.

When his eyes opened all he saw was the reflection of his own self in her odd golden eyes as she sat there, calmly reading her newspapers without the slightest care in the world.

It's a recipe for disaster, a Slytherin love triangle with edges so sharp someone's bound to bleed to death.
Insidious secrets, broken hearts, a breakneck... more>> Quadrivial Tournament, a dystopian Wonderland, and the possibility of a whirlwind true love.
Beloved Emerald Princess of Ireland and Diamond of the year, Audette Bellarose, must decide and quickly, which noble suitor shall covet the immense honor of taking her hand?
British born dare-devil Draco Malfoy, or Italian sweetheart Theodore Nott?
Her father's enchanted monocle glows evermore crimson in the shadows as procrastination carries on, threatening certain annihilation.
And something else quite serpentine lurks in the darkness as well...behind mirrors, and within the sleeves of those most trusted.
Time is ticking: Audette is arguably late for a very important date. She's only eighteen, but will end up a dejected spinster in a few measly years.
However, having never had the chance to explore an identity outside of the pureblood court's deeply ingrained talons, suffocating corsets and strangling ribbons, she won't be much good at making this monumental choice for her future...that is, until freedom is first discovered in an unexpected form. <<less

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

Seven generations ago, the Age of Man came to an end when werewolves banded together, wiping out most of the human race. The survivors are the descendants of those deemed worthy enough to live.
