The Slayer and The Vixen. The world's greatest monster hunter and bounty hunter, respectively. Through their combined efforts, the world has been able to enjoy an era of peace for nearly a decade since the end of The Drazah War. But when their identities and the source of their power is revealed, all of their admiration turns to terror and they're deplored as the worst Fiends alive. Wanting nothing more than to service the world they feel responsible for, the pair must find new ways to help those who fear them. These Fiends are For Hire.... more>>

Fiends For Hire is a Modern Fantasy that is a blend of Action and Slice-of-Life with Anti-Hero leads. The series is currently over 3,500 pages long.

What to expect:

-A lot of Slice-of-Life. This series could be also be known as 'The Daily Lives of Anti-Heroes.' There is still a lot of Action, Comedy, World-Building, and Conflict, but Slice-of-Life is the main focus.

-A slow burn main plot. Not every chapter may seem like it's building towards the ultimate end, and some are just for fun. But virtually every chapter has new lore, world-building, character development, and/or subtle clues hinting at the mysteries of the series.

-Overpowered and Eccentric Characters with a lot of unique abilities. As the series progresses, OP vs OP fights and conflict become more common.

-Some very wholesome and some very dark moments. They are Anti-Heroes after all, so you get the good and the bad.

This series is NOT:
-Progression Fantasy -LitRPG -Cultivation -Isekai -Harem

New Volume 3 Chapter(s) every week. Volumes 1 and 2 complete!

Power?

Wealth?

Immortality?

Yet he wished for something different.

In his entire life, he was mocked, humiliated, and backstabbed. But not this time.

He’s was born a human, But they say his worse than the devil.

His personality is twisted as it can be. One moment he beheaded someone next his smiling with blood all over him.

Why I am telling you this?

What is this all about?

Hahaha, you’ve done well to listen to me up until this point.

Let me tell you a story of a boy named Reiki.

Like any other name, it’s plain and simple but to others this name was special. To some, he was their Lover, Enemy, and Savior.

This is not a story about him being a saint and helping the entire world achieve world peace nor a story about him being a devil killing everything in sight like you he was only human.

But you don’t want to hear the story like this no let me start over.

One day Reiki killed his best friend for selling him out and on this day he tried to commit suicide. <<less

Dylan is your average nerd. He works downtown for an architecture firm during the day and enjoys all manner of games and media in his spare time. But while Dylan likes all forms of sci-fi and fantasy, he really likes the genre of superheroes.

So when an indie company releases a virtual reality MMO where players choose to play as heroes or villains, Dylan immediately buys into it. He has a specific type of character he really enjoys watching, something that always makes his inner child laugh in delight. The Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Yes, those inept, bungling, yet highly dangerous villains found in so many of Dylan's cartoons as a child. He loves how they always come up with strange ways to conquer the world and how they get thwarted every weekend. He remembered laughing at every silly antic, every cliched shout of "Curses! Foiled again!" He loves it so much he decides to take this idea into the MMO.

But to grab a playerbase, the company has announced a promotion that players with a high enough reputation can get contacted to become permanent raid bosses in the game. Those chosen will be paid as if employees of the company. Serious players all hoping to live the dream of playing videogames all day rush to purchase copies of World of Supers!

What will happen when Dylan, someone playing the game for fun, clashes with these overly serious players?

When Ellie Tangey went out for a night on the town with her best and only friend , she was expecting to be bored, maybe uncomfortable at worst. Her only real concern was protecting her friend.
She should have been worried about herself.
Now, she is something more than human, something horrific, something hated, and something she can’t help but embrace.... more>>

A story exploring psychological traumas from many different angles and across multiple characters and personalities. All set to the background of a world where magic is common, humans are not, and creatures of the night are on the hunt.

This is something of an experiment in writing for me and will hopefully be enjoyed by others. <<less

At the tender age of 11, a young boy without a name committed many gruesome acts. Murder, theft, arson, and the list continued to grow. He was born into this world pure and innocent and corrupted by the very monsters who birthed him, thus they turned him into one as well.... more>>

His abilities were unnatural; he was a monster in human form, a superhuman. At 11 years old, he could flip a grown man with ease. The only thing that was normal about him was his enjoyment of stories. He enjoyed watching and reading whatever he could get his hands on.

He didn't understand emotions, but he always felt something when he finished the jobs assigned to him. When he snuffed the life of a woman and her children, or when he burned the cars of men and women while they were still inside, or even when his own mother strangled him to death with a wire; the young boy felt a sensation in his gut that would never fully surface—a feeling that he desired to understand.

Then, following the death at his own mother's hands, he woke up in another world. More specifically, he was in the body of a baby. As he struggled to see what was around him, he heard a voice that was impossible not to recognize—"I AM HERE!" He heard the voice proudly proclaim.

Given a second chance at life for a reason he did not understand, will this young boy—now turned young girl—finally be able to experience a life worth living? Or will the ghosts of his past come to haunt him?

Ellie would not fail.
Geoff would not try.... more>>

High-achieving Ellie Gardner meets intentional slacker, Geoff Cobalt, throwing their previously steady life trajectories into chaos. Ellie is an adopted daughter of a midwestern crime family in dire straits, sent to Orange County, CA not only to get a college degree, but to make connections with another local emerging crime family, the Sinclairs. Geoff is the secret grandson (also adopted) of a legendary supervillain. Despite this, he prefers to eat junk food, light fires, steal, and play video games. Therefore, Ellie is recruited to keep his college studies on track in exchange for training from his grandfather. She needs to study, survive, and learn to budget both her money and time between her many obligations. She can't do it on her own. But when everyone is putting on a front (including herself), who can she trust?

And while they don't realize it, there are many hidden eyes on them.

"Ellie was on her own.
Geoff was on his own.
They only had each other."

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

Fukaze Honzo is a 16-year-old student that frequently struggles with... well existing. Set in the rather 'boring' suburbs of Takabata, in Nagoya, Honzo has a hard time trying to come to terms with himself, despite his clear privileged status in society and a friendship group. He suffers from episodes of depersonalization, with him feeling like an outsider within his own body. As he starts the second year, he finally recognizes that this gloomy and negative personality might need to change, or at least improve his outlook. Just as fortune may have it, there's an idealist, maybe even naive, senpai who invites him, and his friends to a brand new school club. ... more>>

It's called the Culture & Travel Club. A club all about making the community a better place and learning all about the world. And that all starts here, in Nagoya. Despite this, Honzo still needs to navigate the absurdities of living. One day, he might start appreciating himself. Perhaps, even someone else, too.

---------------
Warning: There are some topics that might be a bit upsetting. The characters talk about murder/manslaughter and crime as well as a vehicular accident.

There is no pattern to dropping anymore but I try on Tuesdays. This is also the first web-novel I've written, so I really have no idea if it's even adequate. I literally only started writing for fun and a month later, I have now written enough for at least someone else to read. I'm really just talking about genuine social issues that apply to both my home nation and, not trying to be patronizing, Japan too within the confines of a romcom that's wholesome enough for someone to probably ignore the issues raised.

Thanks, if you're reading this and I hope you at least had a modicum of enjoyment, if you do read the story.

Also, I know Fukaze Honzo's name makes literally no sense <<less

Mark Wheeler and Wendy Foster are dying when a mysterious lady offers to save them. Sort of. Now Mark and Wendy are in a strange new fantasy world that feels much like a video game with character sheets and everything.

But the developers and deities involved have ideas of their own and one of them pushes Mark and his girlfriend to reestablish an old order of martial artists dedicated to doing good. An order recently eradicated under strange circumstances.

Soon the couple is embroiled in intrigue, adventuring, and keeping the peace in a frontier town where all is not as it seems. A tall task for short folks because when they created their characters, Mark got to pick the class, but Wendy got to pick the race and gnomes are cute, aren't they? <<less
