The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again.... more>>

But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close?

The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace.

Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit?

Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra. <<less

[Redacted]

What this story Will contain:

Blue boxes.

A Beginning/Middle/End

Action and consequences with more steaks than a Friday night bar and grill.

LOUD NOISES!

Different perspectives (actually different, not just the same character cut and pasted).

Progression (No stalling of character progression to stay in the shallow end of the power progression pool).

Realistic dialogue (This includes swearing).

Realistic characters (They will each have their strength and flaws)

Unconventional themes.

Further Pertinent Information:

Those looking for feelings of comfort or a quick and easy resolution to their stories are probably better served reading something else.

The warning tags are there for a reason. I will not warn you every chapter that contains potentially triggering content and I cannot in good conscience advise that anyone under the age of 18 read it.

Moving the story to scribble hub from RR because the the content i have yet to write is not welcome there.

Updates roughly once a week when i feel like it. <<less

Rex was poisoned and died in the parking lot of a local diner. He worked at an arms manufacturing plant, as a nameless engineer. He died in his middle age and left behind all his regrets. ... more>>

He did not see any bright lights, nor did his life flash before his eyes. He just felt burning hot pain, that eventually became numbness. He was then carried from this world as death claimed him.

When he next opened his eyes, he had returned to his youth. The world he found himself in wasn't his own though. He was in a mine on an island. He discovered he might be the only human in this world. Finding himself forced to labor in the mines if he wanted to eat, he began planning to leave the island.

Rex will quickly realize it doesn't matter where he goes when he is the only one of his race. He will discover magic, and try to build a new civilization. He will aim to build a country free of war. This is the story of the legacy he will attempt to build, as the only human in the world. Surrounded by different points of view, and cultures, Rex will have to grow to overcome any obstacles he may meet.

This is my first work on the website. It will be updated every week with extra chapters when I have time.

I also go deep into some things like modern weapons, and how they work, Rex is supposed to be an engineer after all. This is way more in-depth than other books I have personally read, but do not attempt any of this at home. None of the information is complete, you will more than likely harm yourselves.

Warning: this book contains, swearing, scenes of sexual intercourse, death, rape, depression, grief, and depictions of cruelty.

I have done a thorough clean-up on the book and removed a lot of errors, so it should read pretty well now. If you see any errors that bother you please point them out.

An American army engineer finds himself at rock bottom in Japan, but finally figures out a way to put his life back together. While waiting in an airport in Japan, he was hoping to reconnect with his ex-wife, repair his relationship with his daughter, and get his family back.

The plane never makes it to Japan.

Having reached the end of his rope, Ryan just can't take it anymore, and decides to end it all by stepping out into traffic. The only problem is that he stepped out in front of Truck-Kun on the prowl.

As Ryan awakens, he finds himself trapped in the midst of a Romantic Isekai Otome Game, a world he knows nothing about. To add to his troubles, he finds himself occupying the body of the school's social outcast, destined to be married to the villainess, who is on the verge of ruining her engagement with the crown prince and facing exile from the kingdom.

On top of that, Ryan soon discovers that he is not the only one who has been transported to this world. Someone else very familiar with the setting is trying to manipulate the world to their own benefit and in the process may change the genre from what should be a simple rom-com into a demonic apocalypse.

To prevent this, the Gods have given Ryan an offer he can't refuse.

Stop the end of the world and they'll help him find his family. <<less

Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom before healing can begin.... more>>

Kendall is a young teen who struggles to cope with her past of sexual abuse by beating down Robbie, her classmate, in any way she can. As the years go on, her bullying grows more vicious, and it begins to emotionally break down Robbie with no signs of her stopping.

In a desperate attempt to get Kendall to stop, one of her teachers steps in to talk to her about waking up her anima, the mental manifestation of a person's inner self. However, anima hold far more power than Kendall expects, and can possibly push both Kendall and Robbie to their breaking points.

Even in Chains is a story about the recovery and management of various forms of trauma. This means it will dive into content that some may find uncomfortable. From relentless bullying, alcoholism, loss of loved ones, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicide. With that said, this story is not a tragedy. We hope you enjoy our story.

WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.... more>>

Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.
But when he tried a new game something happened to him.
He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.
Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.
Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.
To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him.

A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.
Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated.
Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.

Even the mightiest of warriors were once children, and all children eventually grow into teenagers. Here are a few stories of a few more than mere mortal teenagers as they go through the trials of high school.

“So long as there have been humans there have been others, and with this co-existence has come unions between us. The offspring of these many possible unions are collectively called ‘demi-human’. Half Human; Half Something Else.”

ABOUT:

David "Moz" Morrison is a former English teacher, unrepentant geek and occasional boardgamer.

"Of Magic & Monsters" is my take on shows such as Buffy and Supernatural, with a British spin. Expect a blend of action, humour, mystery, thrills, chills, gut punches and rug pulls. (You have been warned!)

Morally grey areas and never quite being sure who the villains really are is the arena the books occupy, so don't expect easy black-and-white or good vs evil style conflicts.

It's worth noting now that the books as planned will switch character view points from one book to the next as the ongoing story progresses. I'm currently editing and uploading Book 1 at a pace of 3 chapters per week whilst also writing Book 2, provisionally titled "Bloody Vampires"

If you'd like to support the writing of the story and read advance chapters, there's a Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/OfMagicAndMonsters - all support is very gratefully received :)

I guess sudden heart attack leaves you no chance to think about the future. One of the things you should know about me though, I am a very humble person.”

“If you compare me to the regular tramsmigrators of the legends then you might be mistaken. After all, what abilities does a salesman could offer in a world filled with magic, right?”

Generations ago, humanity colonized Astrilles, a distant frozen mineral planet. And generations ago, contact with Earth was lost, leaving the settlers stranded, left alone to fend off bug-like aliens called Voraces.... more>>

In this world, humans adapted to their unique constraints by specializing men as fighters, buffed up to exterminate those bugs, and women as carers tending to the needs of fighters. Thanks to advances in biology, children are born and raised genderless until coming of age, when they go through the assignment ceremony during which leaders decide their future gender.

The story follows the journey of XX01, a feisty teenager dedicated to becoming a fighter yet being forced into a carer's life. XX01's struggle will start with the harsh transition from being XX squadron's leader to their carer while Voraces grow stronger and bolder.

The story heavily revolves around sexual scenes and descriptions, non-consensual sex, emotional struggles and changes, and the general topics of gender roles, consent, love, friendship, duty, and rebellion. All characters are above 18.

Expect about 5 chapters per week. It's my first story of this scale, so please be nice. Feedback is highly appreciated and is the best way to support my work.

Thanks to isulion for the cover art!
