So, Fate grants her wish. She is now The Child of Miracles, the wielder of the strongest essence in the world of thaumaturgy...

What to expect in this story:
What to expect in this story:
1. A slow, classic progressive fantasy narrative that focuses not only on the characters but also on the intricacies of magic, spells, and the individuals who practice them.

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

4. MC is "Scottish" (inspired) so expect some of the dialects and the foreign terms as part of the world-building. But along the way, the dialect will be reduced along with MC travelling outside her hometown. The translations for these terms will be provided in a dedicated glossary in the first entry. Feel free to share your feedback regarding any terms that may have been overlooked.

Alice is a girl who loves science and lives on Earth. Then, suddenly, she was punted into another dimension. A dimension where magic and monsters roam the land, and, for some reason, a System keeps dinging at her and telling her that her stats and levels are increasing. As someone who loves exploring mysteries, Alice is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. After all, everything has to have a ‘cause,’ including the System, right?... more>>

What to expect: This story is going to be a LitRPG set in a fantasy world. However, unlike many LitRPG’s, the system has both a definite beginning and definite limits to what it is able to accomplish – rather than a singularly omnipotent, omniscient being that is tied to the laws of the world, the way systems are usually presented in LitRPG’s, the system is close to both, but has definite limits and rules which it operates by.

In a dying universe, a supernatural being chooses Atlas to save the multiverse from collapse. The threat comes from the increasing number of heroes being reincarnated into other universes. Atlas is tasked with hunting down these heroes, who have been granted powerful boons that make them nearly invincible. Atlas must rely on his wit and surprise to take down these powerful foes, and each new universe he enters presents a unique challenge with a different power system to master. With only his experience to aid him, Atlas begins his mission to save the multiverse. Will he succeed, or will the heroes prove too powerful to defeat?... more>>

This story will feature dynamic character development, with a focus on character interactions rather than solely on the whole hero buisness. The Mc will also not always get what he wants or needs. He will only be able to fight the Hero with abilities he can reasonably get, and naturally, each universe he goes through will give him more of an advantage compared to the common people, but the real Heroes will always have something like classical fanfiction heroes, which means powers like Devil Fruits, Haki,  Ninjutusus, systems, cultivation, powerful bloodlines, magic, Marvel or DC powers, an inbuilt AI or other weird but powerful abilities.

She now must leave and find new books to read after thousands of years of being a bookworm. The world she goes back to has changed in many ways.

How's life after reincarnating as a dragon princess? Slow, peaceful, lots of food, cute girlfriend, and I even get to live as a girl!

Hello and welcome to a (mostly) fluffy little slice-of-life story with some other bits and bobs in the mix.

DISCLAIMER:
Fair warning that the MC is not exactly right in the head, nor do I claim her to be. She will do certain acts or think certain ways that may not sit well with you or even trigger something or other; viewer discretion advised. I ask of you to keep an open mind, and if that doesn't work out, leave this page immediately and never look back.

In short, have an open mind, don't be an asshole, and have fun.
Also, please be gentle with me as this is my first story and I sometimes have difficulty taking criticism well.

EXTRA DISCLAIMER FROM THE FUTURE~
Some of you may feel some apprehension toward the series when reading the early chapters (1-10) or so due to the nature of some things (cursing and whatnot). There are two reasons for that: a realistic one and a 'copium' one. The realistic one is that my narrative writing skills were just bad at that time, and it was before, how you say, I found my (writing) voice. The 'copium' one is that it shows the slow change in environment that our little one faces, going from a tough and cold situation to an incredibly warm one, hence the change from a colder tone to a warmer, more goofy one. Whichever one you choose to believe is up to you. All I can say is to keep on reading as it gets much better after those chapters and that the focus of this story is the whacky and unpredictable adventures of a child who was reincarnated into another world as a child but with a longer childhood by human scales.

Also, should I find myself the motivation to do so, I may do what every new author does and rewrite those chapters to be more consistent.

UPDATE (March 2024):
Due to the fact that I am in the midst of finishing a Mechanical Engineering degree, chapter releases will be significantly delayed. Please remain patient and grab a cookie from the cookie jar while you wait. <<less

When Summer Nesbitt meets with Persephone Chase to give her DIY hormones, neither girl knows the other has a secret. Summer is a product of Dorley Hall who left after her first sponsorship ended in heartbreaking violence—and who knows that she’s the only thing standing between Persephone and its basement. And Persephone’s controlling uncle is the Marquess of Cainewood, who wants to shape her into the ideal heir to his “male” title—and a trans woman is not what he has in mind.... more>>

Can Summer avoid the temptation to manipulate Persephone like she was trained to do? Can Persephone protect Summer from the powerful man who thinks he owns her? And can a Dorley girl help a trans girl transition without revealing her secrets—and without her Sisters to help?

Based on "The Sisters of Dorley" and “Dorleypilled".

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. ... more>>

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

If you’re a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don’t want to miss this series!

A young philosophy professor found himself surrounded by a dozen gunmen. In the heat of the moment he made the stupid act of rushing towards one of the men in order to protect a female colleague.
That was the end of his life, well that was supposed to be the end of his life. Interestingly enough he found himself waking up as a baby. Born in a prestigious British family, the reincarnated professor took on the name Alexander Walsh.
But everything is not what it seems, from an mysterious otherworldly inheritance, to a mysterious yet familiar world of fantasy. Alexander would soon find that his second life is not as simple as it seems.

But because of a bet, she ended up thinking that I'm a girl, too.

Morrigan died as the unwilling sacrifice in a demonic ritual, but the Grim Reaper has another plan for this wayward soul—to make her his new apprentice!... more>>

Reaping isn't exactly her dream summer job, (long hours, crappy pay, no benefits) but with the alternative being banished to limbo, she's ready to give it a shot!

Will Morrigan embrace her new role as a bringer of death, or cling hopelessly to her lost humanity? Either way, she'll have to adapt to a world of spirits, hollows, black magic, and demons while completing her daily murder list is "just part of the job."

Warning: While this is largely a coming-of-age story it also deals heavily with death and the many forms it comes in. This includes murder, suicide, drug overdose, gruesome traffic accidents, and more. If these topics are something you'd rather avoid, please read something else.

*****

I plan for this to be a very long series spanning many centuries. The first few volumes will cover Morrigan's first years as an apprentice reaper, but I imagine later volumes covering her existence hundreds (or even thousands) of years from now as an experienced bringer of death.
