As someone who got easily bored, there were a lot of times I’d given up a Gacha because of their money-hungry mechanics. The feeling of grinding didn’t feel the same when you lost your love of it.... more>>

As someone who had enough time to play and money to use, I’d played a total of 200 Gacha games over the years. Each one had been abandoned for similar reasons as the other.

“The characters were too dull.” “The novelty had wore off.” “Grinding is a pain.” “I don’t like feeling my characters are incomplete without their signature weapon.” “The story is getting a bit too complicated.” Etc. One reason or another.

That was until the last game I played.

Despite it being perfect, I dropped it after my team had reached a certain level. No longer curious about playing the Gacha, I abandoned the perfectly good game I had no gripes about.

That was until I ended up reincarnated, but not as the protagonist of that Gacha… No. I ended up becoming a B Rank! The weakest of rarity character that with ‘Insect Transformation’ as an ability.

“Sorry, you are under my protection from now on.” The protagonist said while cuffing me.

Yup, I’m definitely screwed now… <<less

A rare mystical event that affects a select few, the Immersion, forever changed Marcus’ life. It awakens an enigmatic system that promises not just a longer, more prosperous life but also the power to reshape his existence through the underworld of crime.

The further he immerses himself in this unfamiliar realm, he handpicks his victims, choosing to mete out punishment to those he sees as deserving of his distorted sense of justice. This rationalization aids him in justifying his actions as he constructs his criminal empire, leaving an unmistakable path wherever he travels.

However, each choice carries its own grave consequences, and Marcus soon realizes that the path to power is fraught with danger and moral ambiguity. <<less

What happens when myths become our reality? For Saxon, it means a lot more mysteries he needs to solve.... more>>

From gods like Hermes to scientific theories like Schrödinger's cat to legends of human history like King Leonidas to cryptids like Bigfoot, anything can become a myth. It is avatars who bring those myths into reality. In exchange, they are granted powers based on their interpretation of the mythos they embody.

Saxon is one such avatar, but that's not all he is. Saxon's a detective too, and despite his passion for wild theories, and willingness to bend the law a li̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ lot to test them, he's pretty good at what he does.

So when avatars start exhibiting unnatural behavior, Saxon may be the only person who can figure out what or who is the cause.

A secret mission was all it took for Elise to gain the infamous twins, Azael and Reuel's attention and from then on, there was no stopping them.
While the twins want her, Elise wants nothing to do with them.
Amidst the growing infatuation and feelings, Elise has even to protect herself from the danger she has unknowingly put herself into.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 1:... more>>

“You were ours the day you stepped inside our club,” Azael said as he strode towards her and Elise took a step back instantly.
“I belong to no one.” She declared as she maintained her gaze on him. But her wavering voice gave her away and Azael arched his lips, taking it as a challenge.
“Are you sure, darling? Why does your heartbeat say otherwise?” Reuel approached her from behind and Elise was now trapped between the twins.
“I…” Elise licked her lips as she maintained her gaze on the man before her while her mind was focused on Reuel’s wandering hands that were inching towards her waist.
“You what, gorgeous?” Azael probed as he smirked at her evilly and Elise was lost in his mysterious depths instantly.
“Tell us you want us, Elise.” Reuel urged behind.
“Tell us, baby. Tell us you want us as much as we want you.” Azael ran a finger along her arm and goosebumps peppered on her skin instantly.
“Tell us, Elise.”
And that was all it took for Elise to surrender. “I want you.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 2:
"Remind us the count of your orgasms, darling." Reuel wiped a teardrop that had slid down Elise's cheek. "Was it the third or the fourth?"
Elise just panted, not having the strength to speak a word.
"Aww, is our favorite girl exhausted?" Azael cooed and brushed her hair lightly and Elise blinked her eyes twice in response.
"Too bad, darling. Too bad." He continued and pulled on her restraints, a sardonic smile making its way onto his lips. "This is just the beginning, baby and we will not stop until you say your safe word."

What happens when a mortal becomes a God?... more>>

Jalen started his last day of high school like any other 18-year-old, ready to face the world, with dreams of making it big with as little effort as possible. However, a devastating call shattered his dream. Just when he thought it couldn’t get any worse, he received another call. Thus, he spiraled towards despair, swallowed by the hungry streets of Hermosville before he could end it himself. When all seemed lost, a golden-eyed monkey reached into the abyss and pulled him out.

Faced with no other option, the young mortal must discard his humanity and embark on a journey as a newborn Cosmic God. Many benefits came with his new stature, as one would expect, the creation of a cosmos possible at the snap of his fingers. But also many responsibilities and enemies. Demons, angels, and other gods, all vying for a piece of his power. Those who dare to defy him or the ones he safeguards will face two options: submission or annihilation.

What to expect: 2,000-word chapters, anti-hero protagonist, creation.

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

Why do we live?

Shit happens, but that's life!

P.S. Nice to meet you, my name is Bogdan and I am the author of the screenplay you can read below. Before you proceed to familiarize yourself with my work, I would like to share some details.
This is not the light novel you're accustomed to seeing here. This is the screenplay for a visual novel that I, along with my friends, wrote for the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam. Below is a link to our game. Unfortunately, there is no English version available yet, but we will add one soon.
This story about Nika and Yuri is very important to me because I wrote it after breaking up with my girlfriend, and to be honest, I was shattered. At that moment, it seemed easier to die than to continue living. Overall, everything was fine for me until then, but after the breakup, I found myself for the first time standing in front of the mirror, thinking that there was no real purpose in continuing to live.

But thanks to my friends and the writing of this story, I managed to pull myself back. Perhaps my state wasn't as dire as I thought, but the support of close people and engaging in creative work helped me see a distant glimmer of hope in life.

Initially, we thought that everything would end with the jam, but after it ended, I decided that I wanted to make more out of this story. I didn't just want to tell the story of one couple, but I wanted to try to help people who are also going through a breakup and don't know what to do next. <<less
