Sixty years ago, humanity was forced to retreat behind massive walls, clinging to survival in a broken world where the old rules no longer mattered.
Although anyone can become an "Awakener," Axel only dreams of taking his sister out of the slums and living a peaceful life within the safety of the walls. But the moment Axel climbed over that wall, everything he knew about his life was thrown into chaos.....
Why? It’s simple. He killed someone... and awakened.... more>>

Wait, Annabelle, stop licking my neck!

And you, girl—are you really going to keep hiding and laughing behind me like that?

Depending on who you ask, Alunya is either a bastard witch who has bewitched his own brother, or a carefree and innocent- if reckless- child. Born into a village isolated by a divine barrier for the last fifteen-hundred years, protected from the divine beasts and magical storms of the wilderness beyond, the innate savagery and peculiar gifts that Alunya is both blessed and cursed by makes him a poor fit.... more>>

All that Alunya wants in life is to strike out on adventure throughout the wider world with his much-beloved older brother, Antares. But the long centuries of peaceful isolation have brought about stagnation, superstition... And a fear of the unknown. And so, already under suspicion from the stigmata which has marked him from birth, Alunya's prodigal talents quickly provoke scorn and distrust. After all, What use did any in such peaceful times have for power?

Yet Alunya and Antares are not under threat of merely their lives, but their very souls, in a world eager to twist them into a reflection of their surroundings. The question remains open if Alunya will even survive to see the future he dreams of... And perhaps more importantly, if he does, will any part of his or his brothers' innocence still be intact to see it?

[...]

Third person limited, present tense, from the perspectives of the two main characters (Alunya and Antares) with very few exceptions. I would describe the genre as slow-burn character drama, with adventure elements only far later into the story. Upload schedule is biweekly.
It will be a while before many of the tags show up, but I promise they are all there in what I presently have written as of typing this synopsis; it just might be a while before they're posted since I have a large backlog. <<less

Have you ever wished to live your life in a different world? To forget everything in your life and escape into your own Fantasy Story? To not just have an Avatar that just appears and does things, but to act as an actual person within this world, with their own family, friends, background, and life?... more>>

Fantasy Story Online, the latest VRMMORPG experience, promised an incredibly immersive virtual reality experience, giving any player the ability to create an entire background for their character. A new family, a new home, a new life, and a new story. With its unique approach to virtual reality, making it seem as if your character itself was truly reincarnated inside a fantasy world, the entire industry of videogames was sent into a storm.

Enter Paul, a young man in his nineteens, just entering the second year of college and getting ready to dive into this fantastical game, eager to have a better year at college after working out and gaining some more self-confidence. The thing is, he has social anxiety, and he’s having a really hard time socializing.

Until he met Chris, perhaps his first friend in college, a slightly bratty tomgirl that only wants to poke fun at his social awkwardness, but that is his only hope to learn how to socialize. And perhaps to learn what love is.

When these two souls find themselves inside the Realm of Eternal Night, Obscuritas, as both a Crippled Vampire Prince and a Half-Incubus, they will have to work together to navigate their new second lives in this virtual fantasy world full of Evil Gods, Demons, and the invasions of Eldritch monstrosities every Saturday night.

Yet Fantasy Story Online is a fair game, where it gives a Flaw, it also offers a Trait, and after learning that their characters have become the reincarnations of the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Emperor, who once battled inside the ancient Realm of Murim, things are bound to become crazy and break every conception of what this game even was about to the other Players.

How will Paul deal with the harsh, ruthless politics of the Imperial Vampire Family?

And how will Chris survive this harsh world as a being who must drain the life force of others to sustain himself?

And will Paul ever survive Chris' shenanigans?

Who knows? Maybe even the most unlikely pair will end up becoming the only hope for this war-thorn Realm!

Dive deep into this mix of Virtual Reality, Action, LitRPG x Cultivation Progression, Comedy, and Romance, which I’m sure will be fun as long as you read with an open mind.

It has all the things you love about LitRPG, Virtual Reality, and also Romance and Comedy sprinkled into it to make it an absolutely unique experience, especially in the nowadays saturated LitRPG genre. <<less

"Does intent matter when one kills?" ... more>>

One could argue that the act itself is not motivated by malice, but rather by natural conditions, a means of survival, similar to a predator who kills to feed rather than desecrate.

"Born cursed. Bound to chaos. In a realm where monsters wear many faces, he walks the line between salvation and damnation."

A single soul embarks on a journey to look into the narrow line between survival and senseless violence, exploring whether morality is determined by the conduct or the motive behind it.

At the centre of this damaged world are the Nations, walled cities where life perseveres in defiance. Step into this unfamiliar landscape and accompany him as he confronts its pitfalls.

Together, discover the secrets of this shattered world and the sacrifices that shaped it.

(In short: The story of a madman going through multiple worlds to reach immortality.)

====== *Full Synopsis* ======
Thomas Blackwood, a brilliant programmer, finds himself at the brink of death, consumed by a debilitating illness. Little does he know that his true journey is about to commence.

The story revolves around a man who merges with his advanced AI companion, only to awaken in a mysterious realm. Here, he faces a series of trials set by a powerful entity, bequeathing upon him a unique inheritance. This gift grants him the ability to traverse diverse worlds, each offering unique experiences and challenges. But as he ventures deeper into this multiverse, he grapples with a haunting question: “Was that gift a blessing or a curse?”

Thomas Blackwood's odyssey propels him through realms of enchanting magic and realms governed by relentless cultivation. He becomes a knight in one world and harnesses the dark arts of curses in another.

"May the dice roll in your favor."

====== **Author's Notes:** ======
- I as the author have employed multiple pen names throughout my journey, including Chaos_Guide, TS Greed, and Slumbering Dragon.

- This is a fantasy tale with a morally complex protagonist who does not shy away from embracing the darker aspects of his character.

- The story commences in a world devoid of fantasy elements, gradually ascending through the ranks of worlds as the expansive universe unravels.

- The narrative truly takes off with the onset of Volume 2, where the first fantasy world unfolds in all its grandeur.

After millennia, she returns—uncontained by the system, unstoppable by the world.... more>>

------

For millennia, she has remained hidden, sealed within her domain—a vast library, a paradise of indulgence, and an escape from the world’s endless demands. Once a ruler burdened by duty, she vanished, leaving behind only myths.

But when her dwindling supply of medicine forces her to step outside for the first time in ages, reality comes crashing back.

A temple—hers—sealed beyond anyone’s reach. A forgotten cave concealing the portal to her domain. A thriving city where an endless forest once stood.
And a system that should not exist.

[Processing… Attempting to integrate unknown entity “03”]

Yet, as the system struggles to comprehend her existence, she can’t help but marvel at the changes. New magic. Strange technology. Unknown forces waiting to be unraveled. If she were to reclaim her power, the world itself might tremble beneath her.

As a shattered past stirs and seals become unbroken, one truth becomes clear—the peaceful times are over

And the world has no idea what it’s about to unleash.

Hello everyone, I hope you like my fanfic, it takes place 400 years before the events of Game of Thrones, in this fic I will show my own vision of Asshai by the shadow using my experience that I gained from reading many magic novels. I hope you like the city of shadows that I created. The system is not powerful and will only help the protagonist with small facilities and some minor benefits.

Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside.  After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whole world is flipped on its head when the heavens crack like stained glass, and 1/150th of the world's population is transformed into creatures and granted an unusual Leveling System.  A large subsection of the world population is turned into beasts, fae, or aberrant people, while others are granted powers from historical and mythological figures, such as King Arthur, Saint Charlemagne, or the dreaded Leviathan.  Wait, now there are alien toads... more>> popping out of Crystal Gateways?

Having to put petty problems to the side, Rachel has to figure out what is happening as the whole world tries to do the same, but she has a few secret weapons, two of which are on the top of her head; she uses her newly acquired hearing to scope out the changes people are experiencing and gathers the wealth of information at her college campus to plot a way forward as martial law is instituted.  If aliens and spontaneously becoming a moon bunny hare wasn't enough, popular gods seem to have something to do with the new System in this urban fantasy adventure.  Blessed by the mysterious goddess Ceridwen, our MC will have to combat the divine manipulations with her most potent weapon: misfortune.  Being an unlucky hare, rather than a lucky bun, what will Rachel's lousy fortune bring both her and her enemies because even the gods fear our Mythickin Lunar Bun Hare!

Bram can sing like a god of music, he’s great at disguises, and he can fight like he was born to make war — but he can’t do magic, and in a land where sorcery's the dominant force, a man who lacks talent for even basic spells is scorned by everybody…even a prince.... more>>

It’s not all bad. Prince Bram of House Attilan has a secret…two of them.

Inside Bram exists an otherworldly self-improvement system which he unfortunately can’t use because he’s a magicless loser. He also has dreams about another world; one with concrete cities and glass towers that scrape the sky that fill his head with crazy ideas and inventions. Bram figures he can make use of both mysteries, and he’s got a plan for it too.

If he can’t use the system, then he’ll gift it to others, and not just to anybody, but to the people of that other world called Earth who have the talents Bram needs to help his Kingdom of Lotharin prosper. Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster, one powerful enough to help Bram perform the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the troubles plaguing the kingdom, making Lotharin great again while proving Bram a worthy prince.
