Three years ago, a crack appeared in the sky of the magical world of Nethermere, revealing a portal. From it emerged thousands upon thousands of spaceships belonging to a higher realm civilization, intent on invading this “lower” realm.

However, let's just say that their plan did not end well.

War. All out war! That’s the answer!

***

The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!”

After the invasion, Burn decided to march with his army and start a great war across the continent.

However, his march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before the war began.

That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work!

"Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" <<less

Official Title: The Criswell's Curse... more>>

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with satisfaction tingling beneath my skin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”
"

Harems have become too powerful. Heroes fall prey to temptation and poor relationship development, and no woman is truly safe from a life of emptily yearning for one man. When the Goddess of Reincarnation is taken out of the picture, her sister Vice-Goddess summons a new champion, a man who she hopes will resist the blight of haremhood, emaciate the men of Gaia from their self-deprecating stupor, and overall just be a decent guy for once in this world.... more>>

Watch as he walks into a female companion in the middle of changing, then promptly turns around, apologizes, and leaves without being magicked in the ass because it's not really that big of a deal.

There's only one bed? No problem.
Need some personal space? Gotchya.
Developing mutual feelings? Let's talk it out.

In this tale, the true fantasy is the fulfilling friendships and mutually-assured relationships along the way.

This story is primarily slice-of-life, but there will still be sword-and-magic action. I can't say much about how the balance between the two is or will be, but I will always strive towards the path that will grow friendships and strengthen the Platonic Agenda.

Finally, I hereby declare this story completely SFW.

Synopsis:

"What would you do if you suddenly died, and yet... you didn't?"

Elinor is just a sixteen-year-old goth going through some abnormal teenage drama; forced onto a humanitarian aid mission to Venezuela by her parents and grounded, much to her displeasure, this rebellious teenage girl is understandably pissed. The jungle sucks, the bus has no air conditioning, and great, if that's not enough, she's kidnapped! How much worse could it get?

How much worse? Well, how about dying? That's worse. Is she even herself anymore? Irrelevant at the moment. Getting introduced to a not-so-informative System of Undeath? Better. A mysterious golden twin? Okay, maybe we could do without the extra fat. Name her Butter? Seems to fit. Now, alien toad people are attacking and kidnapping her parents. Yeah, things could be better.

Elinor must learn about this new system of undeath, level up, and take back control of her life. Hopefully, she won't get stuck in the alien's world and have to build up an empire to survive. Surely that won't happen... Surely not! Oh, please, don't trap her in an alien world! System Message:

How is UE connected to TO or ATM?

ATM is part of a whole different multiverse (it can still have crossovers but much harder in-verse). Although starting at the same place, UE is set farther from the center of the Maelstrom (a collection of multiverses) of The Oscillation series, so gods can be more powerful here than in TO. UE is connected to my TOverse through the crystal gateways that Elinor encounters here on Earth.
UE follows Elinor as she tries to survive in the chaotic world by building an empire and has to figure out plots that are happening around her, but mostly about the survival of her empire and family with the insane alien threats of these other worlds. TO is mostly happening on Earth and is at the center of the dimensional Maelstrom (more on that will be revealed in time).

Due to the chaos going on, there are rules that limit the power of gods, and what they can do, where UE focuses on the outer zone conflicts, TO focuses on the inner zone conflicts, with mythological, legendary, and godly figures throughout history empowering them and trying to gain their favor.

I am currently releasing this story on scribblehub.com and royalroad.com.

Transported to another world (isekai), somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but not too much. There are litRPG elements there, but numbers are not what this story is about. You could say it's with a touch of Slice of Life. Yet, you can expect fights, monsters, beasts, and enemies from the ranks of humans, but not OP MC - she will have to get there.
The story I wrote after I found the courage to do so. I don't want to discourage you, but I say in advance that English is my second language, and that can be reflected in grammar. I'm doing my best, so please be lenient. :) <<less

Due to the Ministry's work in the manipulation of time, perhaps a single test that should never have been, or one that should have taken place. Whatever the small difference was, it unknowingly changed the timeline forever. A young wizard, growing up in a rich noble family of pure blood has been raised by his parents to be the perfect child. Obedient, Well-Mannered, and ready to take over his father's legacy of a potion's master in the Ministry of Magic. However, after a certain night, that young wizard's eyes were opened. With doubts of his teachings, he hid his real thoughts and opinions from his parents, sure they would punish him if he were to... more>> talk back. Now free of them after enrolling into Hogwarts, he needs only to graduate before he can disappear into his true passion of Magizoology.

If only things were that easy. Between keeping up appearances as a pureblood wizard in Slytherin, Discovering friendships, love, and finding his place in the war between good and evil there is no time to rest for Lucas Peterson.

I really disliked how all Slytherins were just 'the bad guys' in the movies I watched recently (Which this will be more based on, if you are hoping for writing as good as Harry Potter, You won't like my poor attempt). I wanted there to be more character growth in anyone from Slytherin, so I decided to make the story following the main timeline fairly closely. Please enjoy the life of a previously unborn child in the universe of Harry Potter.

Two Disclaimers! First, I do not own Harry Potter or this Thumbnail. Full Credit to the person or people responsible. (Look up Slytherin Wallpapers for thumbnail) Second, two of the female love interests will enter a same-sex relationship with one another. <<less

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This series will not solely be centered on the MC, as I intend to have it focus on a few characters depending on the arc and situation at hand.

Simultaneously, once I get far enough into the story, I intend to add in side stories. Once I am that far in, I intend to add in side stories. Furthermore, once I add enough side stories, I will add a page with a list of side stories apart from the main story. I will add a link to it once I’ve reached that point.

Fair warning!

This series is intended to be rather long, and the chapters will also be somewhat long. If you have any questions, feel free to message me on discord.

Somewhere on the Endless Sea.... more>>

The Border Mist materialized abruptly, shrouding the once calm and grey expanse of the sea. The impenetrable veil of white mist lingered persistently, its undulations akin to a living organism, before eventually receding and vanishing, erasing its existence entirely. In the space that had been occupied solely by the sea's surface, an island emerged, boasting a serene town and a grandiose gothic palace that appeared to cast a watchful gaze upon the city.

As the mist traversed the streets, it gradually unveiled the picturesque Victorian-style city. Dim street lamps cast a faint glow upon the cobblestones, revealing numerous statues of varied sizes, shapes, and race. These statues all shared a common trait—they were oriented toward the Gothic palace.

Within the opulent throne room stood a resplendent seat of power. Positioned before the throne were additional statues, all bowing in deference to the statue of the Ruler seated upon it. Draped in a cloak, the Ruler exuded an eerie and oppressive aura, even in statue form. Silence permeated the room; no motion, life, or breath stirred.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of the Ruler's statue ignited with cerulean flames.

'Ah... what... what's...' Caila pondered as her vision cleared, the memory of darkness faintly lingering.

Surveying the hushed hall, she beheld eerie statues bent in obeisance. 'What happened? Ugh... why... why can't I move?' Caila found herself immobilized; only her eyes retained mobility. She strained her gaze downward, catching a glimpse of her hands resting on the throne's armrests. 'Am I a statue? Wha... what? No! Help! Someone, save me!' Internally, she shrieked in panic, met only by an overwhelming silence. <<less
