Caroline, Elizabeth, Anna. The list goes on.
She has lived through many lives, names become arbitrary and forgotten.
However in this life, she was close... more>> to breaking the cycle.
Yet she failed.

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Readers can expect a comedy, grimdark, action, strategy-based novel with a complicated plot. The story will be extremely long with over a 1000 chapters and I hope for it to make a change in some people's lives once it is finished.... more>>

The reason I am writing this story is for myself. Recently over the years, the media seem to be hailing evil characters or the people that go against their humanity and fight God because they disagree with something. I wanted to portray a story where the MC wants to be closer to the Lord but has to commit sins to follow the destiny given to him by the Lord. The other reason is I wanted to write an accurate description of the nature of our Lord to the best of my abilities. This story is meant to give the true image of what a human is and what a God is.

It will be a long slow burn and I hope you enjoy the story

In the world of Astrea, where the laws shaping reality have consciousness and deities walk the planet, Seren will emerge as the harbinger of chaos. He has memories from before he was born but he cannot recall if he was a human or something else. Seren, along with 6 other individuals will travel the world as they get stronger, to ultimately declare war against all existence itself.

Chapters will be posted at 5 pm EST every day for the first 30 chapters and then it will be 4 chapters a week going through Monday - Thrusday. <<less

Trapped, entombed, and struggling.... more>>

The last time humanity had seen the natural white light of the sun was a few millennia ago. Left with no other choice but to adapt, countless sacrifices paved the path to survival. Their new lives were filled with daily tests and tribulations. The word 'humanity' had lost meaning a long time ago.

Trials were placed before them, trials that they must overcome to gain the bare necessities for survival. If they want food and water, they need to solve the puzzle. If they want to gain weapons to fight back against the lingering monstrosities inside, they must complete the trial awaiting them. If they want to escape, they need to keep moving forward. Unfortunately for humanity, they weren't here alone. <<less

Ana—is a telepath. That's not surprising however, since everyone in the world is born with psychic abilities. Normally, a birth ability is something simple or underpowered. Telekinesis for instance, with the strength to maybe lift a carrot. Or perhaps Control of time, but the best you can do is haste yourself by a tenth. Ana on the other hand was born with the Phantom ability, a passive connection to the senses of those around her. Sight, Smell, Taste, Hearing, Touch, and Kinesthesia; she felt them all. To infant Ana, her mother is simply an extension of her body, one she cannot control, but still a part of her, nine months of natal life taught... more>> her that.

Lia—Highly skilled Biokinetic healer, priestess of the Hidden Moon temple, holy prostitute, and mother to Ana. Little time or interest in children, and never expected to raise one. All holy prostitutes send their children to the temple orphanage, that is expected. Those children are loved, and raised by all of the priestesses and acolytes of the temple. However, once Ana was born it was found that she could not be separated without trauma. This is troublesome, tiring, and not at all what Lia had expected to do with her life, she had patients to heal and lords to pleasure.

This is the story of Ana, her friends, her family, and their struggles. She is a troublesome child growing up with even more troublesome abilities. Her struggle is to define who she is while being unable to separate herself from those around her. With no sense of boundaries and no proper fear, she walks through life tossed on the waves of feelings, sensations, and thoughts inflicted upon her against her will.

The world itself is a realm of power struggles; physical, psychic, and political. On the verge of technological renaissance while also on the verge of another awakening nightmare. As the population grows along with their powers, so too do the dangers that lurk in the wildlands. Old lessons from the age of mythology have been forgotten and must be relearned.

Notes:
Updating every weekday.
There is a power chart I'm working on, though unfinished and needs to be reformatted a bit. Will post the powers in the glossary as they come available in the story. If I forgot one leave me a note please!

So, what if I liked being one? <<less

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

As a treacherous minister, I embody a simple creed: when the emperor calls, I answer; when officials kneel, I stand. I spend the treasury's silver freely and control the kingdom's military might.

Binding herself to a monster was the only option Lyra had to save the woman she’d started to love. Worse, as part of the bargain it was ensured that Lyra’s magic, her soul songs, are cursed and sealed. To call on them without permission will inflict horrid pain that damages her soul.... more>>

Her new master is also the most gorgeous and terribly striking woman Lyra has ever laid eyes on, and this monster knows how to use that to break her new charge's will. Now Lyra must learn new ways to weave her magical songs into dark and agonizing melodies, else prove herself nothing more useful than a soul to be devoured.

What To Expect!

1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the worlds. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Her affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
5. Weekly updates, but also extra weekly updates because this writer has no self-control and needs help.

Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.

Echo thought he had the perfect fresh start. Offered reincarnation into a world of swords and magic. Able to grow stronger by going on adventures. One quest gone wrong changed all of that. Lured into a trap by a sadistic, mad mage. Collapsing on the brink of death, he is captured. Subjected to the power of an artifact, reborn as a monster in human flesh. Killing other monsters, consuming their hearts, evolving - growing stronger from every foe devoured. Strong enough to survive. To get revenge. To devour even more.... more>>

What to Expect:
- JN Light Novel Inspired: This story is my native English speaker 'take' on the JN Light Novel.
- Gradual Start: Chapters 1-9 develop the world / characters / rules of the System.
- Rapid Evolution: Chapter 10 and onward the story gets much darker as Echo evolves.
- Custom System: LitRPG with occasional stat screens + Power-Stealing for rapid growth.
- Romance Elements: There's an MC and Side Character straight romance. LGBTQ+ representation is present. All sexual content is strictly 'fade to black'. Nothing explicit.
- Point-of-View Swaps: The story is primarily told from Echo's POV, but there are well-marked breaks to pivot to his party, side-characters, and villains.

"The only hope eh?" muttered a woman with short white hair, as she sat leaning against a wall painted with blood.
The lance sticking through her stood tall and proud. It irritated her.

She looked at her broken arm and then at the piles of corpses of short green creatures with pointy ears and noses.

She chuckled at the irony. She was told she was the only hope and yet here she was, dying to a mere thousand goblins.

Her ears perked as she heard footsteps. Through the musty tunnel across her came a hooded man.
He was tall, and had a long beard, the only part of his face she could see.
He had bandages wrapped around his hands and was covered in piles of cloth armor.
He had a large bow in his hand, but he didn't have an arrow in sight.

She once again chuckled at the appearance of the strange man as her painful grunts grew quieter and quieter and to silence.

Born in times of turmoil, orphaned at a young age, and raised amongst rowdy sellswords, young Reinhardt Edelstein joined the mercenary trade as well when he grew up.

When misfortune finally caught up with them, and the mercenary company he had been part of fell into an ambush and was decimated, he survived by chance, along with a few others.

Then he found the baton of responsibility passed on to his hand, as the adopted nephew of the late captain.

Stuck behind enemy lines, with only the tattered remnants of the once proud company around him, he strived to do his best, to rebuild the company to its former glory... Should they survive the current conflict.

Would he succeed in etching his name in the annals of history? Or would he end up as a mere footnote instead?

Only time will tell…

A virus spread through the world at a sickening pace, desperate to infect every living being and turn them into something... superior.

The infected individuals became rabid monsters hell-bent on consuming not only the healthy ones, but would even turn on themselves. The more they consumed, the stronger they became.

Then there was humanity. When the world went to shit the darkness in their hearts was finally unleashed and allowed to flourish, showing their true nature. They committed all kinds of atrocities against their fellow man, even during these troubled times.

But then again, you can't really blame them can you? They are just... inferior beings after all.

That's why it's my duty to show them a better path. To make them all infected. Because once they see the glory of it, they will thank me. Treat me like a Messiah. Or even a God.
