Fantasy Races, Magic, and a Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk Setting in a futuristic Earth.

This is a romance/small harem at its core. It starts slightly slow (couple chapters) but expect it to transition more into the romance as the story goes along. When the romance happens, it will be a fast progression. I'm not sure if I could consider this a Yandere story or not, but two of the characters in the story could fall into that category, so I have that as a tag just in case. Please, if you think some of my tags are wrong, let me know. I'd be more than happy to change them. ^_^

I hope you enjoy the story, as that's why I write. Thank you, and please enjoy. <3 P.s. I will release chapters either as they are done, or in groups depending on if there is an arc.

Gamer. Martial Arts enthusiast. Writer. Eric Breeden is these things and a few more, but one thing he is not is a risk-taker. But when he is pulled from his dark apartment in Fairbanks, Alaska, and transported to the world of Ahya by a powerful mage, he soon realizes that risk-taking might just have to become his thing. That is if he wants to survive and make it back home.... more>>

Thrust into a world he doesn’t understand and introduced to skills and a system of combat that is foreign, he tries his best to get his feet under him and get to work. Meeting the stranger who pulled him here goes about as well as can be expected, but he does at least learn his purpose. Can he fulfill it, or will he fall like so many others, to be overtaken by those who come after?

Read Chronicles of a New World for a new perspective on the world of Ahya, and to see what happens when the burden of destiny is thrust upon the shoulders of a chronic under-achiever.

Chapter Upload Schedule is Mon-Fri @10:00 EST (Eastern Standard Time)

For those who want a little more background on The World of Ahya, I suggest you read Tome of the Body and Tome of the Mind, both of which can be found for free on my profile.

Three roommates out for a walk find themselves in an anime world, where nothing is quite as it appears.... more>>

~You hear a whisper on the air...~

Three friends, three young men just going about their lives. They have no idea what awaits them.

Kelly Forester, a man obsessed with the tropes of anime and the cuteness of what living 2D would be like. Nathan Gravina, an ambitious friend full of energy but also fear of the softness inside his heart. Jamie Harrison, lazy but prickly like a bitter hedgehog about letting anyone really get close to him.

Mecchen House awaits for them, prepared. Watched over by many eyes, the girls of this special place are motherly presences, hissing haters of men, cold splintered slabs of ice, radiant voices that speak beyond their years, and mysteries they can only hope to unravel.

In the darkness and the light, in the calm and the storm, these three...these twelve...will discover just what this world and others have in store for them... d wdgg jhfm ylu qmjmjimq wcl ylu hqm

Lin Songmei is poor. Getting dropped off at the doorstep of an orphanage while she was a baby—the classic baby in the basket situation—she didn’t have much of a childhood, and spent most of her days doing schoolwork or reading in the library. ... more>>

However, in a world where modern society is intertwined with cultivators that have lived for as long as anyone remembers, everyone’s life has a chance to turn around at the aptitude tests held at 16 years old.

So, when Songmei goes into the aptitude tests crossing her fingers and hoping for a smidge of talent, just enough to get her a comfy home and a stable future, but finds out she has more talent than she could ever imagine... what next? Dream of a bigger house?

'And why does the second child of a super rich family clan keep showing up? Her family has enough influence to move nations... So why is she hanging out in my room?'

|7X WATTPAD FEATURED · SPOLIGHT STORY| Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's an older individual, she must find a way to share her tale with the world.... more>>

***

Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's life-long passion for writing.

Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story-through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed overtime and what hardships she faced in order to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021.

With the power of writing and her brother's legacy about her becoming a successful author, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria forever remain an undiscovered author?

This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova.

Let the cringe begin!

What You'll Find in This Book:

1.) 35 fun-filled chapters of my oldest stories.
2.) 11 short memoir stories--no more than 1,000 words each--that share the most important times of my writing career.
3.) A whole overview of my history as a writer!
4.) There's also a bonus chapter about how this memoir came to be!

Takemura Itsuki, an all-time bedroom gamer, and Shiratori Haruto, a noob game fanatic, were just playing an RPG game they found lying alone on the dark streets after their end-year exams.

What the heck was happening? And, most importantly, why? Why the hell were they the ONLY ones chosen, out of all the people? Was… life really cozy and stuff for Haruto and Itsuki?

The Story is Done. <<less

Riley, a human orphan with a rough background, is suddenly adopted by a family of skunk anthros much to her surprise. Past trauma, their vast differences, and initially mixed reception from some family members combine for a bumpy start of her new life, but they're all surmountable, and what awaits afterwards is worth all the struggle in the world.... more>>

Slice of Life story in a setting with humans and anthro animals coexisting. Major themes include overcoming differences, recovering from trauma, and embracing vulnerability. New chapters on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. <<less

After an accident involving a truck, Liz wakes up in a world she once thought existed only a video game, as the Evil Dragon Demon Queen no less. She has no idea what to do, where she is, or what's going on. She's not the brightest, or the bravest, the coolest or the most cunning. But she cares, deeply, truly and powerfully, and she's not stopping until she's done everything she can for everyone who needs it.... more>>

Demon Queen is a love letter to fantasy, and a damning indictment of how we don't question a lot of fantasy tropes.

It's also a story about accepting yourself, seeing your flaws for what they are and what they aren't, about vulnerability as a superpower.

It's a story about being trans, about what it means to not know who you are when all you've known is denial and fear.

It's also a story about queer love, about non-traditional relationships, and about expressing your affection to your loved ones without reservation. <<less

Things have just started settling down for Emma (née Marcus) Farrier, seven weeks after being mysteriously transported to Selene, a world of steam engines, political intrigue, and no men.

“...would you like to become my servant... or something...” ... more>>

This is no fantasy world. No superpowers exist, neither does magic. He’s an ordinary middle school student. He doesn’t have any hobbies, nor anything to look forward to as he lives his tedious and unchanging life every day.

Normally, there would be no point telling his story.

However, one day, something strange happens. He accidentally stumbles upon a strange girl. Immediately he notices her unusual appearance—one of her eyes is concealed under a black eyepatch.

Caught up in utter confusion, he barely notices when the girl asks him to become her ‘servant’, but doesn’t give him any time to respond as she runs away.

As it turns out soon, the girl appears to be completely detached from the real world. She pretends to be strong and tough, but it doesn’t take much to reveal her bashful and cowardly side.

The protagonist—Fujioka Takao—initially driven by curiosity, decides to put up with the eccentric girl, but at some point, the situation gets out of his control.

Thus begins his story, which quickly proves to be the story of his youth.

Rapture is a young man born into a small world. A hut, a lake, a forest, all barred with walls of towering wood, that is all he has ever known.... more>>

Yet the day soon arrives when those walls must come down, and the boy is thrust into the wider reality that lay beyond.

The world outside is vast, yet cold and empty. Bathed in the ashes of the world tree, more than mortal men toil at the mercy of oft indifferent and sometimes malevolent Gods.

There are those who fight those Gods.
There are those who worship the Gods.
Then there are those who care nothing for the Gods and bid to fight amongst each other instead.

Many vast Empires and great Kingdoms litter the dying landscape of this world, with more to come as the tides sweep in, then leave in their wake the ruins of decimated civilisations.

This is the world into which Rapture wakes, a world into which he must now find his place, and a world for which his mere existence will ripple into war, a world that was already on the brink of ruin before he even awoke, and will likely not be made better by the path he is destined to tread. <<less

Being overweight isn't a crime--it's just something shameful, Andrea's mother is quick to remind her. But that's to be expected in a world where technology and magic makes body goals and perfection attainable. ... more>>

*****

Andrea's mother has high hopes for a male heir to lead their household. Andrea must find a husband--and fast. Without a perfect body, however, there are few prospects. For Andrea, on the verge of being disowned, the inability to control something as simple as her weight further exemplifies her other failings. She heralds from the noble class, lovers of tech who frown upon mingling with the servant magic wielders. But with only one year to secure the title of the estate, Andrea has few options.

Opportunity arrives when a damaged magic wielder named Tanner comes to her estate looking for work. Servants of his creed wouldn't dare associate with nobles usually. Andrea's head tells her to be suspicious, but Tanner, who's easy on the eyes and built like a brick, looks like a great opportunity. He also takes interest in Andrea, something no one else does.

For the first time in Andrea's life, everything seems possible...if only she could quiet that stupid voice in her head warning this is too good to be true.
