Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless... more>> void that slowly consumes oneself...

But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same fate of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra...

/Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear:

1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.
2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.
3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.
4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.
5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.
6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.
7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good.

Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./

I'll be adding this to Royal Road, because why not, right?

A novel where the protagonist is an absolute pushover, yet every women he meets seems to fall in love with him.... more>>

He wins by sheer luck despite being strong himself, yet he spares those he defeated just for them to come back stronger than before.

Arrogant nobles that are jealous of his strength and harem are everywhere, yet he humiliates them without suffering any political backlash.

And I, Theodore Gray, lived in a world precisely based on such a novel as a mere extra that wasn't even mentioned once.

Although I had no intention to interfere with the plotline since it would only mean suffering for me, I was already too entangled in it to back out now.

===

WARNING: I cannot stress this enough. If you don't like confusing stuff and MC killing innocents (adults and/or children) (not senselessly of course), then this novel is clearly not for you.

If you're here for the GB tag then you'll have to wait until chapter 76 until you somewhat get what you want.

Death is a fickle thing.... more>>

For most, it's a force of nature, but Agil Novan sees the reaper in a different light. As the greatest swordsman of all time, he cherishes life more than most, and he's lived one full of both struggle and success. After all of his accomplishments, he too must face the reaper and its scythe.

When challenged, however, the swordsman is not one to go without a fight. After parrying it once and then impressing the reaper with a show of the blade, he is offered something more. A second chance at life—one that he's all but forced to accept.

Now, stranded in an unfamiliar land with an unfamiliar body and far too many questions, Agil has his life threatened at every turn. Still, he is determined to survive. He knows what the reaper did to him.

And he has never been one to let vengeance go unfulfilled. <<less

While on Earth, the Church secretly battles over the planet's destiny with multiple other factions; Gabriel was just delivering pizzas when he ended up in a battle among creatures that defied logic.... more>>

Sure, he thought, who doesn't love pizza? But do angels, demons, and big ass wolves eat pizza as well?

Gabriel was paid for his delivery, but the payment he got wasn't exactly what he hoped for, because for all his efforts, the man was rewarded with a lizard... and a world expecting a little too much from him than he was comfortable with.

Gabe will find himself in a different world, a world from which all Earth's current problems stem and a world to which he has more ties than he was ever told.

Will Gabriel and his lizard survive in a world so hell-bent on getting them to follow its rules, or will they die defying them? Follow their adventures on Alter, where elves, dwarves, orcs, and many more races share their existence with those of Spirits. Whether they like it or not.

Expected release will be 1 - 2 chapters a day, for now.

Given the abundant stack of chapters, there will be releases even on the weekends!

Release time 09:00 AM and PM UTC

This series is being posted on RoyalRoad as well.

Author blurb...

This story is a slow burn; I wanted to write something that felt at least probable, not the usual: man appears in a new world, everyone helps him, and he's fit and ready for the job!

Gabriel will need time to adapt to his new reality, as you'll definitely notice in the first chapters. However, when the action hits, it hits hard. 

Something to know about me? I'm Italian; I love foreshadowing and Chekhov's guns (it should be clear by my avatar, I'm a One Piece lover, so I've learned from the best), you'll find a lot of those in my novels. So keep your notes to check for them, and don't forget to eat as much pizza as you can! <<less

In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity.... more>>

The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive.

Badly, at that.

Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month.

On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed.

***

The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think of Discworld meets The Dresden Files meets Gintama.

This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.

Author notes:
- This is a slow-paced and growing protagonist web novel, don’t expect continues leveling up and fights throughout the chapters. Already added a content warning on this web novel, though not at the start, it eventually will come to it. Rather warn you beforehand, then get cussed for it! Start with Volume 1 / Chapter 0: Prologue, if you are interested in this story!
- The inspiration that gave me to write this story is based on the Chinese novel ‘Bringing The Farm To Live In An Alternative World’ by author Ming Yu and those who translated his novel in English, such as groups on website ligthingfastbullshit (.com), moonbunnycafe (.com), trungnguyenwriter.blogspot (.com), novelstravel.wordpress (.com), scribblehub (.com).
- Credits deserved are those who gave me years of reading pleasure and those are a lot, such as BTFTLIAAW, Throne of Magical Arcana, Miracle Throne, I Shall Seal The Heaven, Martial World, True Martial World, Desolate Era, I am a Superstar, The Great Thief, Hail The King, Demon King and many more.
Although the story BTFTLIAAW seemed to fast pace and a lot of plot holes were added here and there, which left the readers with a lot of their own imagination to fill those holes, the overall content is enjoyable to read through, still ongoing in the 9k+, so the original author is really enjoying it.
- My story will likely contain some noticeable elements in the overall story direction of BTFTLIAAW, like geography, realms, items, and cultivation. But which Eastern Cultivation novel doesn’t highlight different realms and named mystical items/objects the same. To not infringe into BTFTLIAAW, all names are changed within my story, it’s completely different but also the same in a way. Judge for yourself and enjoy it.

On a final note, English is not my main language, so I might slip up here or there. I am not a professional writer, nor asking for any pay. You are free to copy my story, but please ask for permission at least give credits, where it’s due. Thanks!
The image doesn't belong to me, borrowed from the web.

Schedule:
At least 2 chapters a week, Wednesdays and Sundays. It will be at my own pace because I am writing this as it comes.
