Just a little twisted diary of mine

Hot-tempered psychic Minami Tachibana eventually joins a psychic facility that 'provides services for problems large and small'. Performing good deeds and services with her psychic power, the girl must learn to control her powers as she gets involved in a case with a powerful psychic who wants to brainwash everyone and retcon their history of crimes. Many strange incidents and natural disasters need reformation in this paranormal world, and Minami and her friends from PsiCo try to transform the world and ease the hearts and minds of people who need their help, one client at a time. No one knows the darkness of one's heart more than Minami Tachibana, who has a secret that she... more>> doesn't want to tell anyone else--that she knows the coming of World War III and must prevent it from happening. But how can she do this and save her friends in the temporal timelines? She wants to create a Singularity where everyone is safe and happy, though there is a villain lurking in the shadows who is retconning the past and distorting memories around her.

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.

After many years of hostility between Athens and Crete over the death of the Cretan prince, a tenuous peace is struck in the form of a marriage agreement. Every nine years hence, seven youths and seven maids sail from Athens, expecting a marriage into the aristocracy of Crete. What they find instead is a bloodthirsty monster and a king who has not forgotten the past. In order to marry, they must survive one day in the Minotaur’s labyrinth, but no one has ever returned. With the newest tribute, however, sails Theseus, prince of Athens, who has been promised the hand of the beautiful Princess Ariadne, and he doesn’t intend to die quietly. With the help... more>> of Ariadne, he prepares to face the Minotaur, but no one can predict the rift the Minotaur’s death will leave behind or the world on the other side.

This is a story I wrote in middle school that I have decided to heavily revise. My hope is to share chapters as I edit them and eventually publish the finished book. That said, if you see any mistakes, feel free to point them out. Thanks for reading! <<less

***Probably dropped***... more>>

The veil of reality is thin, and it was ripped apart a long time ago. Now the abnormal is normal, and inexplicable is commonplace. The old laws of physics are now only suggestions which are ignored daily, and theoretical concepts are no longer only theories. Anomalies are scattered in all places, and incomprehensible phenomenon are a given.
Now Nisha is trying to make a living and survive, getting kicked out from the welfare system once she reaches the age of sixteen. Maybe the amalgam of flesh that lives in her brain could help her.
This process however, gets her into several unfamiliar situations, including but not limited to talking to people, accidentally solving several-year-long mysteries, and getting into drug wars.

The main character will experience some transphobia and dysphoria among other horrors. Content warnings are in the author's note at the start of each chapter.

The Second Son of the [Fraudulent Nobles Bluestar] has the ability to see the future called [Infinity Road].

He managed to learn things he should not, but because of this, his emotion and his common sense has been rendered non-existent.

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

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. 

P.S.: I don't own the rights to most universes that will be explored. <<less

In a parallel universe adjacent to ours, exists a world very similar to Earth, called Terra.

Jonathan Phoenix is a fourteen-year-old boy who lives with his adopted grandmother and is the last surviving member of the infamous Phoenix family which acted as the Royal Guard for the strongest Empire in history and has produced the strongest Mages of their generation throughout its existence. In present day, they have been demonized and hunted down to near extinction and young Jon is met by hostility and aggression wherever he goes, to his discomfort and annoyance. 

However, one day, a mysterious man arrives and informs Jon that he has been invited to attend the Ashford Magical Academy, the oldest and most prestigious educational facility for young Mages to learn and harness their powers. Seeing this as a chance to grow strong enough to defend himself from his future rivals and enemies and to finally get some answers which his grandma has withhold from him, Jon gladly accepts and soon befriends fellow classmates who are each unique in their own ways such as the brash and loud but fiercely loyal Adam, the highly intelligent and resourceful but insecure Artemis and the fearless and tomboyish but also stubborn Lynn. 

As Jon grows and learns the various applications of magic in all spheres of life, he also uncovers more mysteries of his own lineage, the rise and fall of the Solan Empire and most importantly, he and his friends learn about the most dreaded and foulest Mage in history, who was the first and only one to find a way to cheat death and defile that which no Mage even thinks of doing, all the while fighting against the rogue Mages and deranged Cults who are each wanting to bring back the "Father of Death" for their own twisted goals. <<less

Can the icy romanceable option & the calculating villainess work together in a reckless attempt to avoid a Bad End?... more>>

The dissolution of Lady Ein's engagement to Prince Lochlann in favor of a foreign commoner threatens to plunge the kingdom back into civil war—but Ein is more concerned about losing her access to the kingdom's best medical practitioners; her mysterious illness is only getting worse, and time is running out.

Prince Finnian, the youngest—and grumpiest—member of the new royal family, has always known that something inside of him was different. It's not until a near-fatal accident unlocks hidden memories that he realizes what: he's been reincarnated into the world of an otome game as the tsundere Romanceable Option, and he's on route for a deadly Bad End.

Now, he must work carefully to steer the story in a different direction and eliminate the game's villainess, Lady Ein—even if it means giving up on his desire to transition. But when Lady Ein approaches him with an outrageous marriage proposal, he realizes that an unlikely alliance might be the only solution.

Can they work together to rewrite the last page of the story, or is fate dead set on giving them both Bad Ends?

Note: This is a transphobia-free story! In this kingdom, we love our tsundere trans princess!

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.
