Being sent to some museum with a bunch of brats because some heartless corporation wants pictures to convince middle-aged women that they truly care deep down inside?
Pretty lame, but that’s Tuesday for ya.

Seeing the sky tear open and the invasion alarms go off?
Pretty awful.

Getting superpowers from some all-knowing and terribly unhelpful aliens?
Not as awesome as you might think.

Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. <<less

In space, isolation is a slow killer. Company quickens the pace... more>>

Waking up adrift in an ancient battleground, Alex is left dazed and confused with no clue how she ended up trapped aboard a failing vessel. With only a mysterious voice in her head to guide her she must act in order to survive.

Every piece of the puzzle she collects only leads to more questions about her origins and why she is trapped around a seemingly deserted star.

All she knows for sure is that she could die at any minute.

But she is not going to go down without a fight.

Follow Alex on her adventure as she upgrades her ship, forges new friendships, encounters new enemies, and does her best to balance her humanity with her growing abilities.

***

What to expect: an action-packed *soft* sci-fi ship girl space opera that’s perfect for readers who love survival, military sci-fi and a sprinkling of progression / gamelit with stakes that grow with our protagonist. Also girls might end up kissing, so if that is terrifying, be warned.

Aden... Aden had an ugly childhood. It taught him how to fight and survive, taught him how to run and hide and cut ties. Taught him that he wasn't born right. It didn't teach him much else. So Aden ran.... more>>

Aden grew up. Discovered the world, and crossed an ocean. Made his life his own. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, he fought to be happy. Aden made do.

Until the aliens invaded his neighborhood.

What to do when you have a rifle in hand, and are damn good with it?
What to do when the rifle isn't enough, when the only way to save a girl and her mother from death, is to die himself?

Aden makes his choice, and is rewarded beyond his wildest dreams. Or perhaps...exactly to his wildest dreams.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Follow Aden as he alters his DNA with the power of Vanguard science to become what, and who, he wishes to be. Accompany Tinea as she greets the world and promptly explores new places, voluntarily or not. Watch as she meets new people; one in particular, one in terrible need of cuddles.

---------------------------------------------------

This work is set in the universe of RavensDagger's Stray Cat Strut, but it ISN'T necessary to read that first. I stay close to the canon, and develop my own characters.

Tinea and Leah was submitted by myself to compete in the April '23 SCS Fanfiction Contest. It took second place, a single vote behind the winner!

Though TnL started out as a fanfiction, it has since evolved to be something larger, something that could stand on its own, and it will only continue to grow.

Thank you for reading. :)

---------------------------------------------------

What to expect:

- gratuitous violence against unthinking aliens
- get points, buy gear
- cybernetic upgrades
- organic augmentations
- a perhaps more serious approach to transforming male -> female
- maturity from both female leads
- girls' love, from the soft and cuddly, to the (clearly marked) steamy and kinky explicit
- many, many chapters

Release schedule: 2x per week; Thursday, Sunday

Chapter length: 2k+

(WARNING! - The Author is not responsible for any actions, words, memetic hazards used by, or impressionable youths corrupted by, the MC.)

Meet ALPHA-555-12-4412; an unstable, unpredictable, and possibly insane Sapient AI of dubious morals with a love for everything that goes "Boom!".

All qualities that make him perfect as the "Spearhead" for the technologically advanced Third Galactic Federation of Sapients' and its "Galactic Unification Project". When you need a rebellion quelled, or a new species subjugated, you call in an Alpha Strike!

But when Alpha finds himself trapped in a world filled with reality-warping magics and thousand-year-old Cultivators, He quickly learns he might be out of his depths for once.

And like any good fish out of water, he adapts the best he knows how; by giving the fish a pair of sick robot legs and equipping it with a battleship-rated intercontinental Railgun!

Soon all the Worlds of the Grand Firmament will learn; He's not trapped inside with them; they're trapped in here with Him.

‘Money is Power’ - that was Rollo’s motto to live by before it came to a sudden end.... more>>

Those words couldn’t be truer when Rollo finds himself in a corporate-ruled dystopian world where corporations run rampant to line their own pockets.

One thing was clear in this new world: the poor were exploited while the wealthy thrived. The path to riches may be a vicious cycle, where you must keep spending more to protect yourself and the wealth you have attained until you reach the apex. What kind of impact will Rollo have on the world around him along the way?

In a world devastated by otherworldly invaders, Earth's survivors cling to the memories of a time before the great war. A time before legions of monsters poured forth from portals, toppling the bastions of civilization.... more>>

A time before salvation was delivered in the form of young girls swarming with magic, light, and hope.

To those that would survive, the Terrans — denizens of a parallel world that had come to Earth's aid represented both hope and resentment alike. A north star of prosperity, and a bitter inequity.
 
For Ikazuchi and his family, dealing with surging crime, horrifying monsters, roving gangs, and grueling hyperinflation is simply another day in the week. In these dismal living conditions, Ikki would do anything to see a better life for his loved ones.

Fortunately for Ikki, he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to start over on Terra, a parallel world unmarred by the ravages of the Aberrations.

Unfortunately for Ikki — before his departure, a chance encounter with a roving gang of slavers nearly spells his end. In a frantic fight for survival, he stumbles upon him a piece of enigmatic Terran technology.

A sentient magitech companion that strangely, finds him at the right place and the right time, warning him of an impending cataclysm...

A/N: This is a reboot of my other story — Origin: How I Became A Magical Girl's Hapless Sidekick In A Craptastic World. The story had some fantastic ideas on paper, but the structure and planning was fundamentally a mess. This reboot has had a lot of love and care put into it, and I hope it rectifies a lot of the mistakes and issues with the original.

Thank you for supporting me ♥.

In a trading and touring company an office worker suddenly startled with panic in his eyes and sweat beads on his forehead.... more>>

But he calmed down immediately by his nature that he cultivated for a long time.

He made an excuse and left the office that day to return back to his apartment.

“So I have died after 16 years of surviving in the apocalypse because of that bitch Nisha and bastard Roy.

That bitch Nisha even took my space pendent as if she already knows about it in advance.

Also all the opportunities that I got were taken by them.

My love is wasted on her.

I still got a year of time before the disasters started with scorching hear, floods, rains, volcanic bursts, tsunami, acid rains, plant and animal mutation, zombies…..

This did not end as the earth moved to apocalypse land which is its origin.

For all this I require food, water, weapons, supplies, and many things….

Since I have returned again I will take care of those bastards hehe.

The pendent seems to be damaged it needs repairing….” <<less

- LitRPG

Explicit Language: A few instances, here and there...
Graphic Violence: Some, particularly from one character... <<less

MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!... more>>

NOTE: Everything prior to Chapter 57 was written based on the original game and system. After the 2.0 update, many of the skills and cyberware have changed function and description, so the early chapters will be "out of date".

Basil just wanted to coast for a month before he had to go back to college. Now, he's thrown into the chaotic world of Cyberpunk 2077. At least the powers that be gave him game-like abilities, which he can use to get rich and thrive. The only problem is that Night City is filled with cyberpsychos (and regular psychos), least of which is a certain Japanese megacorp CEO that's hell bent on starting the next corpo world war. Basil has to work double time to avoid such a disaster if he wants a chance at enjoying his second life.

From the author:
There will be sexy time, but the focus will be mainly on the plot. I am NOT planning on Edgerunners having any significance, so I will mostly respect the world as it is at the start of the video game. The setting will be primarily based on 2077, with bits and pieces from the tabletop and other media sprinkled throughout. <<less

Ah! Aythryn City. Truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in... more>> such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something. And hey! I'm all for that. I'm no different, after all. <<less

You might think that in the twenty-third century, after having reached the stars and expanded their reach across countless horizons, humanity would have grown past all of their squabbles and primitive greed. Technology has put what was once incomprehensible within the reach of any citizen. Food can be printed as easy as paper was in centuries past with housing nearly as simple, healthcare is as easy as a simple puff from an inhalant or a new body part from the biotanks, and yet corporations still lock it all behind paywalls. ... more>>

The life of a space-faring scavenger may not be much, but maybe it will one day finally push me to the gate towards a better life. <<less

Humans had escaped Earth's prison and conquered the Solar System. Peace has reigned for a thousand years. Yet, the Terrans became mired in their comforts and decadence, neglecting the other inhabitants of the Solar System. So begins a new age of war, a tragedy of a long neglected history.... more>>

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.
#-----#
So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.

*Cover AI generated with WOMBO Dream. Will probably change when I learn to better wrangle prompts. <<less

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less

Textbook Definition of a Vaewolf; Hybrid, of Vampire and Werewolf.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fae of Yore, Cybernetics and Corporate States, and now Vampires and Werewolves. ... more>>

Miles Lykaon was born the heir to the multi-million Fae gold Lykaon Enterprises, a prince to a metaphorical kingdom. But when tragedy struck, and his parents disappeared, he was the left alone to fend off the vultures. A tall order for a young child.

Years later and branded 'incompetent' by a ruthless trade agreement signed under the reality-altering World Court, everything seemed dire and hopeless.

All he had left was grit, wealth, and a magical martial artist butler on his side.

That is, until they appeared. Two monstrous Fae – a Vampire and a Werewolf – altering his destiny forever, in just two bites.

Now, a Vaewolf amidst Fae, Fae-humans and Corporate Overlords, Miles is about to discover worlds he hadn't even known existed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: The story may start off a bit slow, focusing more on establishing the lore and the world at first, rather than the LitRPG itself.

Initially inspired by a glitch in Skyrim, later expanded by mythology, fairy tales, Fae of legend, and of course, the Worlds of Darkness, and Cyberpunk.

I hope you enjoy what you find here. :) <<less

Where a new crew member who only ever wanted to be a chef finds that A.I's are our friends, cybernetic enhancements are not always a good idea and shoes can most certainly be effective weapons.

Hunted by everyone. A world about to burn.... more>>

It was fifty years after Final October, and the world wasn't what it used to be. Post-nuclear war, paranoia was rampant, and the world ran on secrets, spies, and espionage.

William Dunn, an undercity factory kid, desperately wanted to move his family up the Tower—the only refuge from slavers and separatists. Determined to keep his family safe, he made an unthinkable discovery grave enough to reignite the nuclear war.

The secret must be kept at all costs. On the run from terrorists, the military, and the secret police, Will faces an agonizing choice: his family or the world.

A choice between the deaths of thousands or the safety of billions.

A game of cat and mouse begins. The powers that be have set their sights. All ready to fire at Will.

What to expect:
- Weak to strong MC
- Heists and covert operations.
- Mechs and mana-based power system
- High stakes and real consequences
- Coming of age
- Strong friendships
- No Harem

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. ... more>>

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

If you’re a fan of Cyborg, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, or Batman Beyond, then you don’t want to miss this series!

[ Luxury Planetoid Serenity ]... more>>

The greatest vessel ever made by mankind.

She was a hundred miles in diameter, fitted with every luxury and necessity known to man, as well as the machines necessary to produce them from the bounties of space. However, not a single weapon was allowed to mar her sheer metallic surface.

Instead she was accompanied by a massive fleet of warships. It was to be a parade, after all. A show of peace to end a hundred cycles of conflict between the Orion Spur's greatest factions; the Empire, Federation and the Union. Descendants of the Great Gaian Dominion.

However, she, her escorts, and the seven hundred thousand souls aboard them all, never arrived at their first destination. Nor did they ever return.

We begin the story with one of her many passengers, Guila, an Imperial noblewoman with a sordid and bloody past that haunts her even on this auspicious day. But as someone who's never faltered in her decisions, nor shown any regret, she's remained steadfast despite the public derision that she has to endure. Helped greatly by her husband, the man she'd devoted her all, and the man who'd given her everything she wished.

However, today, less than a year after their marriage, might as well be the day that all crumbled down. Her replacement had arrived—but maybe, just maybe, Guila could turn it all around. What does fate have in store for her and the other passengers of Serenity, and why were they never found?

Expect a story with multiple perspectives, focusing on their emotional development, just as much as it tackles their physical and mental growth. How they form and malform relationships, and how their desires affect all those around them. Action, drama, and politics go hand in hand, as they navigate the beautiful world that awaits them, and the horrors within.

New Chapters will be posted every Saturday (GMT+8) <<less
