A retired secret agent was sent back in time to complete one final mission.... more>>

The story took place in a modernized magical world of Myr with its relatively advanced civilization of electricity and firearms. Almighty magicians had long died out leaving behind powerful magical beasts that roamed the world, and humanity that strived to survive with their technology.

Alter Norn was a 42-year-old ‘Bookman’, an operative of the largest secret information agency ‘The Archive’, that had retired from active duty.

Suddenly summoned by the head of the organization for one last assignment in his life, never in his wildest dream would he have guessed that he was about to be sent back to his 15-year-old self to accomplish the mission.

***

Back in time, while getting more and more entangled with the would-be heroes, key figures, and powerhouses of his generation because of the assignment, Alter, the average run-of-the-mill agent, realized that he was moving further and further away from his own supposed history with every step he took to complete the mission.

Alter was aware that he would eventually have to choose between the burden of the mission and the temptation of correcting his own personal mistakes in life.

He held his beautiful head and screamed, "How did this happen to me?!"

After waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling a former man found himself sporting long black hair, fierce red eyes, fair skin, and a rather incredible figure. "This resting b*tch face ..." he contemplated momentarily, "It's totally my preference! But it's totally my face! Totally bad news!"

The only option was to buy time until he could figure out what was going on and very soon he realized, "Aren't I screwed?" He was a duke's daughter engaged to the crown prince of the kingdom and was currently attending a magical academy with a cast of overly hot men happening to be the same age. This was clearly an otome game setting, and with his elegant, flower of evil, villainess face he inwardly broke out in a cold sweat.

The major problem was his total lack of information for he had never heard of the otome game he was currently in. Ergo, he had no idea how to avoid a bad end. However, the true problem was even more profound. "Marrying a man is impossible: I'm only into girls!"

P.S. This is my attempt to join the supreme race known as authors, whom I hold the greatest respect for. And let me tell all the fine people of culture that otome game novels are my element and noble villainess girls are the blood coursing through my veins. Ohoho.

The story happens in a world dominated by wizards and witches.... more>>

There are magical mirrors which know many things but still like to tell lies. There are special wands for students, which are carved with the names of all the former users. There is a mysterious training tower popping out from nowhere.

There are smart owls selling newspaper for tips. There are pink bears in grass skirt making bubbles to slow people down. There are many fantasy creatures signing contracts with the zoo.

What is more, there is magical talent here. Every wizard and witch has one magical talent, say a turtle shell with massive defense, a sandglass to foretell what to happen for the next second and a key to any door on the world. Of course there are always some weak talents, like a never-withering rose only for watching.

After Ethan Lane, the troublemaker, left Mermaid Island where he had lived since his childhood, he put the whole world in high risk. He is going to turn the world upside down and bring us laughter and surprise.

Come find yourself about Ethan Lane’s magical talent in the book.

Authors note:

This is a very slow-build story to reflect my goal of making this a long term project. There are many characters, each with their own minor plots working toward building the main story. So don't expect there to be battles right off the bat. This is also written in multiple points-of-view so it may affect those that have a preference for certain formats or writing structures.

Hope you enjoy! <<less

Five unique kingdoms are locked in a war quite unlike any other. But it is in the Kingdom of the Stone God that Aelia lives: a not-so-special girl who is desperate to be accepted by the Mage Academy.... more>>

But if she's nothing special, why are such strange things happening to her?

Like the distant voices she hears that are telling absurdities about reality.

Like the details she's starting to notice that no one else seems to.

Like how quickly she's able to learn and improve.

Could Aelia have been born for a greater purpose -- a purpose she's somehow forgotten?

On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years.... more>>

Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind.

"Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy."

To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed:

A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead...

and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid.

Ahem. So I'm kinda new to this because I didn't seriously think this could be possible but first lets recap, shall we?... more>>

My name was Raymond Dragon, also known as the 'Joker' or 'Card Master'. I died at the age of 16 because my yandere-ass big sister had a LITTLE *cough* *cough* obsession with me, and by 'obsession' I mean by locking me up in a dark cellar for three years and then proceeding to kill, torture and feed both my relatives, friends and acquaintances to me... No complaints here... NOT! She fed me my grandma as well!

Now, back to schedule. Ahem. So you get my lifestory and the way I died was kinda stupid but that doesn't matter. What matters now is that I got reincarnated (Yay!) in a fucking game. Or to be precise a world that's based on an otome game, a game that I was forced to play with that SHITTY LITTLE... Big? Yandere sister of mine. I forgot the name because I don't give two shits about the story or anything about the game for that matter but anyway, I reincarnated as a mob character (YES!) and not as anyone important or significant in the story (Get that fucking GB tag outta my face.).

There's also multiple reincarnators who actually know what the story was about *surprised* and there are even otherworlders, demon lords, heroes and so on in this world that also know the story. Here's the catch though, the world's not a game. People are living and breathing same as our previous world. How do I know? Weeelllll... I may or may not have a special magic called 'Card Magic (self-named)' that I also had in my previous world to rake in the dough... and I can use it in this world... Anyway, I know it's not fake because a certain card that can be generated is a 'Truth Card' and I asked it one simple question:

"Is this world real?"

And the answer that I got was:

"Positive."

So there. That's my mother-fucking introduction, and you shall now know me as 'Ray Quartz', the marquis' lazy-ass genius son.

Your not-so sincerely, Ray Quartz

PS: Fuck my life.
