Pangaea is the main continent on Earth, well the Earth I was reborn into. Me? I am Rick Lee, a Eurasian. I was just living my life like every other Highschool student cramming for University exams, until I turned 18 then it happened.... more>>

I received a System that granted me skills I apparently picked in my past life, that I don't remember even picking. Then the System gave me the Middle-Gold-Finger and left my life forever.

Now with knowledge I never imagined, how can I change my sad life around? Make money? Get revenge for bullying? Find some lovers? Become powerful? I don't know, but knowledge is only knowledge, and I still need to fend for myself.

This is not a Fan-Fiction, so don't worry about anything belonging to anyone but the Pictures I take off the internet, he-he, I am no artist. Enjoy! <<less

With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her last love.

Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury.

______________________________________________________________Volume II______________________________________________

Things should have been easy for Rylonvirah. The exiled drow matriarch has finally reunited with the love of her life, Lyria. But from the north descends a new threat, the Cambion Warlord, in his bid for ascension, to claim the title of the demon lord, rallies his horde.

Will Rylonvirah and Lyria reforge the broken bonds between them? Will the Warlord drown the world in a sea of fire? While enemies both old and new beset Rylonvirah, her greatest obstacle is Lyria herself— and the pregnant secret that she harbours.

In a realm of shifting magic, D’Argen, the God of Discovery, and Thar, the god erased from history, unite through magic to unlock secrets of the past in order to make sure they have a future. ... more>>

For the first time since their fall to the mortal realm, magic has started acting strange. With so many of the gods already dead, they cannot afford to lose any more. Unfortunately, nobody believes D’Argen’s claims of the magic changing. Not even when rumours start spreading through the mortals of the demons’ return.

When D’Argen and Thar meet for the first time in centuries, it is not only to witness the changing magic and the demon rumours, but to connect through magic in a way that was considered impossible until that moment. And then to figure out how to survive their bond long enough to warn the others of what is to come.

Explore a world of gods, magic, and demons, as D’Argen and Thar race against time to decipher the past and secure their realm's survival.

This story has an ace MC, god characters who are not overpowered, a really slow-burn (glacial!) mm romance, lots of world exploration, and many side adventures.

Turning thirty is like a big sale at the meat market and also the most scary thing is fears of getting old. You have to go on a discount before someone starts considering you. ... more>>

And that's not the only problem Evonne Willard has to deal with, because right now her biological clock is ticking and she realizes that one morning she might wake up with white hair and a walking cane as her only companion.

So to soothe her problem, Evonne has resolved to have a baby.

Enter Ulysses Bloembergen, the man that possesses all the traits Evonne has ever wanted in a mate: tall, hot, smart, and an overall gentleman--all the perfect genes for her baby. All she has to do now is ask him nicely to donate a little sperm so she can conceive.

But damn Logan Bloembergen-- Ulysses's smart-mouth, no-good cousin with the title of number one Casanova in Malaysia--has to come stirring up trouble.

And now, under the influence of hormonal imbalances, Evonne finds her craving for a baby might not be enough, for she is beginning to crave the love of one of these men.

Excerpt:

When the door opened, a naked torso faced Evonne. Not just any old torso, but a hot, muscled, six-pack naked torso. She blinked and blinked, and then she blinked some more.

She couldn't understand why a grown man would be wearing a towel, just a single white, fluffy towel wrapped around his waist, to answer the door.

He was leaning against the doorframe, one hand supporting his tall, lean, muscular body that, Evonne noted, any female would want in her bed, including her.

Not that she'd bedded any male, of course, since she was still a bloody virgin, for Lord's sake. <<less

[Dear Readers, this book is slow paced, but it is worth your time!]... more>>

Zack "Kazz" Foreman once was a human from the earth when humans went through a dramatic change because of an event. This forced them to evolve into energy-based beings but was sucked into another dimension.

Forced to start living out lives on random worlds in a fractured dimension, Humanity is placed on the path of complete extinction.

This is controlled by a demon king at a place called The Center of Everything.

The Demons try to erase Humanity's mark from every reality, so there are only demons, but the Demon King feeds from anger and pain. A constant tournament going at the center of everything to feed his hunger.

Kazz made it to that point once, but was tricked. He was refused entry to the tournament because he had been offered a place as one of the gods of the fractured worlds, but refused.

Refusing to give up, Kazz goes back to the beginning to start again. To do this, Kazz must give up all of his memories to choke the flow of demons born fully grown from a pool of recycled souls.

This journey starts after he lives a solitary life trying to get stronger but not knowing why. The world Kazz is on is like our earth, but it was only a mimic of the earth we know.

Caught using steroids and about to give up and join the army, Kazz stumbles onto a cave in the ground. He is transported to a world filled with demons and monsters, and a human named Hero is speaking in his head.

Upon meeting Kazz, Hero offers him the Hero System to help him advance in this new world.

Kazz refuses after trying to get to the top and failing to use the easy route. This starts a series of frustrating events for both Heroes, but they learn to work as a team over time.

Kazz will meet misbegotten monster girls and demons that he agrees to take care of in this world, using the Ranching System. It only gives bonuses to the girls and skills to help raise them, but he will also learn to control the Elements with Shamanic abilities.

The first book is about getting off the island and getting Zack "Kazz" Foreman's memories back!

Elisi always wanted to give her love to somebody, but there was no one to receive it.... more>>

will she ever find a person to whom she could give her love?

Rizzie’s name changed to Elisi when she arrived into a new world, a world inside a book she read in her past life. A book that had a character that went through the same things she did. He was king Dalion, who his own father dared to curse him .

Her life went on quietly until they put her to serve the great mage Sebastian, the old man who told her she was a healer.

Me??? I’ve got the job? How come will I serve the king?

The mage told Elisi the ruler was in desperate need of a healer. That she was their only hope. But there was one problem, the king seemed to be holding a grudge against her kind.

Will she be able to do it? Will he be different than what people say he is?

A cliche love story that is close to my heart ^^

For 200 Years, The Demons of Dreadthorn Awaited Their Dark God's Return, But Instead of Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, They Summoned Me! Just Greg: My Accidental Life as a Demon Lord, a Misguided Crusade, and the High Priestess Who Holds the Key to My Fate.... more>>

Oh, you’re still here? You want the long version? Okay…

For over two hundred years, the demons of Dreadthorn have been waiting patiently for their dark god to return and lead them to victory over a cruel world that reviles them. But when the day of summoning finally arrived, they didn’t summon Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, God of Monsters and Beasts, Aspect of Destruction, Harbinger of Dread, Bringer of Retribution, and Reaper of Shadows.

No, they summoned me: Greg. Just… Greg.

Last I checked I wasn’t a dark god, though I seem to have been reincarnated into the body of one. Thankfully, the demons don’t seem to have caught on yet, but my new Generals are expecting me to lead their legions to victory. Imagine how surprised they’re going to be when they realize I’ve never held a sword and don’t know the first thing about magic.

It won’t be easy to keep the demons convinced I’m their god, but I’ll have to play along if I hope to survive. Worse yet, even if I manage to keep the demons from killing me, the Goddess of Light and her angels will surely try.

I don’t suppose they’d be willing to talk it out, would they?

* What to Expect: *
- Strong (but clueless) to stronger (and competent) protagonist.
- Slow burn, small harem romance with occasionally explicit chapters.
- Slow burn story in general, focus on character building and relationship development.
- Mixture of comedic and serious moments.
- Dual cultivation type of progression, though the MC works on building their strength by other means as well.
- Horny demons.

The Action packed adventure of the gorgeous, but evil superhuman agent, Jaakuna Warasaki. Her skills in infiltration and sabotage, coupled with her deadly fighting abilities, make her one of the most dangerous secret mercenaries in the world.
Growing up in a rather rough and tragic environment thanks to her crimeboss father, she joins the evil mercenary organization, Kurai Yohei, as the top agent. However, after stealing top secret blueprints to advanced energy weaponry, she even develops ambitions to take control of not only her own organization, but the entirety of Japan in an effort for revenge on her pops.... more>>

The only one who may have a chance to stop her and the organization is her former best friend/private super detective, Naomi. Will Naomi's skills be enough to stop the evil Jaakuna, or will Jaakuna crush and dominate society as we know it?

Inspired by a myriad of anime and other fictional shows/movies. So, while it is not a fanfiction, many readers will probably be able to pick up the similarities and references to other anime. For example, the evil organization, that was inspired by groups like the Akatsuki from Naruto, the Espada from bleach, and the homunculi from Fullmetal Alchemist.

- This is a novel where the world revolves around MC due to the girls around him. This is also fast-paced story.

- If you do not like that MC is a natural asshole and doesn't give two shits to those that doesn't like him and won't try to get some of the girls in the plot, this is not your cup of tea.

- There are no rape nor NTR in this story.

- A generic horsecock MC with little to no experience about building good relationships. A two-faced protagonist only to those who aren't close to him.

Remainder: This is a #slowpaced romance, mature BL novel. Proceed with reading at your own risk.... more>>

The love interests effortlessly capture the hearts of readers, while the villain is instinctively hated for his tendency to pursue the main protagonist's love.

I wonder about the other side of the coin. Who extends a hand of affection to the villain when the protagonist's tale concludes with a happy ending?

It struck me.

And as Song Samin, now residing in a supporting character's body, Aniel Brunthe, I will be the one to love the villain.

From being mistakenly summoned as a hero, to being thrown right into a battle for the throne, to finally finding his true calling as a police officer...sort of, young master Arek goes through a whole lot in this story. He is betrayed and manipulated by the darkest hearts, yet he also finds warmth in the most unexpected of places. There is a lot I could go on and on about. But let me give it to you straight, this story is the tale of a useless little young master turning into a super useful powerful one, getting back at all those who have wronged him and finally finding a family. After all, what more would... more>> you need?

Note: If you are a fan of temperamental mongooses, non human roommates, healed trauma, weak to strong, resolved family conflicts, camaraderie, bickering, and bonding between teammates, and a hodgepodge of light novel tropes - including but not limited to systems, summoning to another world, weird witches, illegitimate princes fighting for the throne, something like split personality, magic naturally, etc. - all throne into one story, then you may like this one.

Note 2: Once upon a time this story had a BL tag. If I could have written one chapter more the BL would have started. But one chapter means the story would end on a cliffhanger. I still hold out a little hope, but for now I don't think this story is going to have much BL. This is very, very unfortunate as I myself am a BL author and reader. Sigh...I hope you like action and adventure because that's mostly what this is.
