"You may now kiss the bride."... more>>

But no kiss ever came.

I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me.

Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help.

Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible.

Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way!

**New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. At least 3k words each.**

*Additional Tags*: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves

*Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content

*What to expect*: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot.
The plot exists but it *very slowly* becomes relevant.
Also, *slow* character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters.
Detailed environments and extensive world-building.
Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy.
Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered.
*Lots* of descriptive sex scenes, it is treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service.
A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other.
Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language.

This story is also on Royal Road (*most of the sexual content is censored*), Novel Updates, Hentai Foundry, Webnovel, MoonQuill, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica. <<less

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 prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Yan BarCarran has never felt at home. She’s an orphan among her extended family, a spacer among the ground dwellers while at school, and a one-in-a-million oddity born with the ability to use the God-given power. Still, at least at the Academy, an elite theological school where those with the power are sent to train, she knows where she stands. Her peaceful life falls apart when she receives her apprenticeship invitation at graduation.... more>>

Aymon Sandreas is the de facto leader of the Empire. He commands hundreds of powerful starships and keeps order among the planets under his rule. He’s also getting older, and the time has come for him to choose apprentices, one of whom will eventually become his chosen successor. He picks three students: the spiritual and talented Yan, the mysterious and troubled Kino, and the impulsive and striving Sid.

Now in the dead center of politics, Yan faces danger from would-be assassins and political rivals. If she doesn’t learn well enough and fast enough, she’ll die before she ever has a chance to make a difference. Between her fellow apprentices, the reformed criminal tasked with teaching her survival, and even her powerful master, Yan isn’t sure who to trust in this dangerous new world.

Sometimes, the right choice is the hardest thing to see. <<less

Garth Daniels is a down on his luck handyman in a quiet little town in the middle of America when our universe is co-opted into a war between an unstoppable race of reality-hopping monsters that feeds on the flesh of living creatures, and a conglomeration of thousands of realities, nested inside each other like a matroska doll.... more>>

We're the new layer.

These monsters, the Kipling, can only be defeated in a reality with very specific physics, otherwise they are unstoppable, and so Earth's universe has been assimilated to give us a fighting chance.

Garth must set aside everything that he knows, and think fast to adapt to the new laws of nature if he wants to survive.

With No Cheats, No Perks, No Gifts...How would you survive in this chaotic world?

(After reading countless fanfics I finally thought to myself, "Why... more>> don't I give it a try?") <<less

In his 60 years of life, he'd built up a good legacy and looked on to spending his later years quietly teaching his students the martial arts he'd cultivated over the years while working as a nurse for his day job. He'd long since saved enough for his retirement, but he just could not leave the profession of helping those who needed it.... more>>

In his younger years, he'd traveled the globe and, during his time in Japan, learned a historical preservation of a martial art that claimed to be Ninjutsu. Although, as he would learn, it was actually a Samurai art that the Ninja supposedly learned to infiltrate. Bottom line, it was effective.

His son had even enrolled his granddaughter into his studio in the kid's class. After practice one day, he decided to take his granddaughter for ice cream. This is when everything went wrong.

After the accident on the freeway, he was fine. His granddaughter was not. It was at this moment something supernatural happened. A ghostly vision claiming to be a fallen goddess promised him she could take his vitality in order to heal his granddaughter. In so doing, he would die but his granddaughter would live. Regretting his actions which caused his granddaughter's predicament, he agreed immediately. Next thing he knew, he regained consciousness in the womb of what would be his new mother, and next to him was his twin, a twin he would later discover was the very goddess who helped him to save his granddaughter.

Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer.
But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games.
Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears.... more>>

But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world.

And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere.
Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation.

Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it.

Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia.

Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena.

Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire.

Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World.

The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns.... more>>

It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out.

Blurb:

Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless.

But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands.

Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right.

Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed.

Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure. <<less

Synopsis :... more>>

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.

Warning :
1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you)
2. No harem (probably no romance either)
3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though)

What to expect :
1. Smart and consistent MC
2. Lots of training
3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage
4. A lot of original arcs.
5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it).

Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or it's characters (except the original characters I create)

PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward..

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.

This is the story of a man who made a lot of bad choices.... more>>

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
