Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

A young Duelist gave up on the fun of Dueling. He had grown up, and his bad luck that had plagued him for his whole life ruined his experience as well. Dueling was all about luck of the draw, and who spent the most money on cards. Why even bother if you lost most games anyway? Then one day everything changes... He wakes up as a Slifer Student in Duel Academy. With his bad luck still plaguing him... He can only be lucky once!!... more>>

This Idea Came from an Author on Webnovel. 0_Jordinio_0's 'Stacking the Deck'. There may be a few similarities so go check him out if you want another story like this! Also I do not own Yugioh or the thumbnail. Full credit to person or people responsible.

In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity.... more>>

The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive.

Badly, at that.

Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month.

On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed.

***

The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think of Discworld meets The Dresden Files meets Gintama.

This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.

On the brink of dissipation into nothingness, cursing at the faulty system, he could only grind his teeth and accept the challenge. Well, twenty-two, to be precise.

I transmigrated into the mobile game that I was holding until my death.
It happened to be a 'female-oriented' card game!
Yeohwan, who became the main character in the game, struggled to set up the strongest handsome knights...

“Were you unable to sleep because of the issue of naming the mercenary corps? Any name given by Commander is fine.”
“Naming the mercenary corps…?”
“You were supposed to tell me this morning. Of course, I didn’t wake you up because of that.”

The voice mixed with laughter echoed in his ears, and the system window he had been waiting for appeared in front of Yeohwan, who had a stupid expression on his face.

[Please name the mercenaries.]

““Waaahhhh!””

Being reborn wasn't either. And more importantly, she had become two. Respectively becoming Ivy and Iris, the twin daughters of the Estoria couple. Quite a good start, but what came after made Ivy and Iris face palmed themselves.

Their parents have divorced and their abode of a happy family, crumbled apart. After a long day, the twins decided to run the only property left under their name as they left home.

Chubby, fair and boneless hands has been scarred with blood. Was it forgotten to be mentioned that the twins run a very notorious club?

“Mistress Dusk! Mistress Dawn! Welcome!”

The latter was a fact that would definitely be shunned, but under the right hand, it'll become something everyone fears and worships.
