But one day he sees his father's dark deeds and realizes rich people all around the globe are part of something big and dark. To protect his family and innocent, he starts to get stronger while scheme through their ranks, so he can destroy them from within.

Join Mokami in his exciting life!

What to expect;

Strong Romance; MC is romantic type of a guy that abhors to use women. There will be many women around him but he will woo them with love.

Harem(Incest); There will be many women from the anime and some OCs. Momo and their mother will also be part of the harem.

Slow Pace; It is not going to be meeting and fucking in an instant. I like to take my time and build up the romance before getting into the action so if you are looking for quick fucks, this story is not for you.

Strong but not Overpowered MC; He is always stronger than average but not omnipotent. Expect him to fallback and lose things just to rise on his feet stronger. Although the main theme is not power, the novel has some.

Some dark truths about world that may trigger you. Abuse of minors and worse. Never done by MC, will never be done MC but as MC discovers more about the Dark Organization, the nastier it will get. If you are a snowflake, I don't recommend you to read.

For now the publish schedule is a chapter on weekdays and two chapters on weekends. <<less

It was the day everything changed. For people like me it was a dream come true, but for a lot of others it was the... more>> beginning of a nightmare. Some folks say it's the day the world ended. It was the day we were reminded that there's stuff out there bigger than any of us, bigger than all of us. And I know there were hardships. I know it was rough, especially that first month, the first year even. But I think a hundred years from now we'll look back and say that was the first day of a whole new world. <<less

The story has been taken down for publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested, you can read them here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Blood-Demons-Retirement/dp/B0BXYJB2MJ/... more>>

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

Sybil lives the simple ecclesiastical life in an unusual England, enjoying the pastoral life with her beloved Judith. Yet as faith and fear come into conflict, strange and mysterious events consume Weston Abbey. Death and bloodshed begin to stalk the grounds of her grandfather's home and Sybil must overcome her own family history to discover their source. Though perhaps the conclusion of this short tale is beyond even the studied mind of a 17th century nun. Perhaps her grandfather had uncovered a tide of horror so grand that all things sane were consumed by it. Or that thirst had always been present. Time and type shall tell the tale.... more>>

(I am experimenting with a new style of writing. Sorry if jarring.) <<less

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

New chapters Monday through Friday! Complete at 180K words, wrapping up in late September! <<less

My name is Zhao Lingfeng. I have a classmate named Dong HeFeng. He’s tall, handsome, friendly, smart, and sociable–everything about him is good, except for one thing: he wants to kill me. ... more>>

How do I know? Well, I’ve known him since middle school and we were never close. If I saw him in the hall, I would only take an extra glance. Perhaps we would even nod to one another as a way to say “hello.” But all of a sudden, in the middle of our first year of secondary school, he started sticking to me! Every day, every class, and sometimes, even every minute! If it were only this, I would just assume he really wants to be friends; but what really convinced me of his intent to murder me was the way he would stare and observe me for long moments at a time. Tell me, if he’s not trying to kill me, then what exactly is he trying to do?!

Therefore, I must never let my guard around HeFeng. Who knows what he’ll do if I’m not careful. HeFeng, just you wait. I’ll force out your true intentions soon! <<less
