Talia, the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate CEO, harbors an unquenchable adventurous spirit. Wishing to make her own mark on the universe and avoid the boring life of corporate drudgery, she joins the droves of new human explorers combing through unexplored space in humanity’s newest diaspora from the core worlds.... more>>

Her resilience is put to the test when her brand-new exploration corvette crashes onto an uncharted planet, Sigma 16. Despite the sudden and unprecedented systems failure, Talia is far from deterred. Equipped with a state-of-the-art exo-exploration suit, a semi-operational colony bootstrap system and a sometimes annoying AI companion, she sees this as an opportunity to claw her way back to orbit with all the discoveries she plans to uncover.

Join Talia as she builds her base and combs through the expansive dunes and jungles of Sigma 16 in the search of precious resources and alien data. But the planet might not be as uninhabited as it first seems, and with untamed wilds teeming with potentially territorial wildlife can she unravel the secrets of the planet's inhabitants and mysteries before falling to disaster? Looming over her is the threat of a potentially hostile and deadly alien species with weapons and technology just as advanced as her own.

Ready yourself for an interstellar adventure, full of exploration, resource management, and equipment crafting in the face of adversity on a wild frontier world in this new thrilling Sci-fi Survival LitRPG!

In a world where private military organizations reign supreme, Indra, a genetically engineered soldier, serves under Lunar Gate, the premier contractor to the world's most powerful country, Yuèliàng.... more>>

Spliced with various genetic progenitors and trained to be killing machines, these soldiers are raised to display unparalleled skills called Traits. These abilities evolve under conditions of extreme stress, harshly shortening their users' lifespans in the process. However, Indra has no Traits of his own.

When a seemingly routine mission goes awry, Indra's encounter with an ancient malevolence bestows him with a unique skill that sets him on a path to explore the mysterious Sunken Forest, an area overflowing with strange energy.

Separated from his friends, thrust into an unfamiliar environment, will he be able to navigate the dangers that lurk within and make it out alive?

Cibele always wanted to be a heroine, and always wanted to be loved. No one ever told her you should be careful what you wish for.... more>>

After a chance encounter with a speeding truck, Cibele Epeli Imanis wasn’t whisked away to another world – that would be too easy. Her future self has given her miraculous powers, all to save the world from the so-called Queen…and yet, all she can think about is using these brainwashing powers on girls!

In the twilight of the Reiwa era, as humanity awaits the end of the world…can Cibele resist temptation? Can she save the world? Will she have to resist her powers and fight against the insistence of her future self…or is it possible to find love, or even become a ‘hypnotic heroine’, beneath a Southern Sun?

A tale of ethical dilemmas, late capitalism, freedom and justice, temptation, bad thoughts, nerdiness, hypnokink, and – of course – cute girls.

What to expect:

* A slow start (around 6 chapters) showcasing the main characters' daily lives

When the FAE, creatures of fantasy and long-lost history, rushed out of the depths of the earth, sick of how humanity had destroyed the world, no one had expected it.

Unable to contend against their magic and advanced technology, Humanity was soon on the verge of extinction. Until, one ambitious man, invented the Fae Serums.

Miles Lykaon was meant to live a life of absolute comfort and power, as the next heir to Lykaon Industries. But when he was still a child, his parents passed away.

Until one fateful night, when two mysterious strangers, monsters, crashed into his home.

He was meant to die, but a ghost saved his life, sacrificing the two monsters in his place.

When Miles woke up, he had been granted a mysterious system, with a strange feature called forms.

And so begins the Legend of the Vaewolf, the Lord of Blood and Shadow, the Huntsman of the Wild.

Space, the final frontier, or so we're told. The problem is things can never seem to be final in the vast never ending reaches of space. Efrem Gray has been a good soldier for nearly a decade and a routine mission to the planet Xioshaa to stop an ever growing civil war was nothing but another stop for him. Things go south when his team is ambushed and stranded in a jungle, left to argue amongst themselves about the best way to survive.... more>>

Bolt is an android. Specifically, a corporate android; he is meant for one purpose, and was converted from live stock of unmissed humans to better... more>> him for that purpose.

Lex had become the Chosen Hero. ... more>>

However, he didn’t gain any talents or blessings. Instead, he mocked by his peers. No way such a person was a ‘Hero’ like his Job had stated.

Job Class: ‘Hero’. Stigmata Gifts: None. Innate Gift: ‘Empty’. Future: Worse than even an F Rank.

He had zero magical abilities or superpowers. Only the techniques he’d learnt at home in preparation for this.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, a monster outbreak happens that caused him and many students to be stranded in a destroyed city. His only solace was that he was able to find people to partner with until rescue.

He wanted to run away, but the Job wouldn’t let him!

Screw it. Let’s save this damn world! <<less

When eldritch horrors known as the Anathema began tearing through reality to invade Earth, aliens calling themselves the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity. Individuals were chosen and gifted with the ability to use magic and advanced technologies to combat the existential threat. Over twenty-one years later, the so-called "Magical Guardians" are still hard at work keeping the peace. With their flashy outfits, superhuman abilities, and reality-defying spells, they are the part-time heroes and full-time idols of modern society.

But none of that really matters to Maito, whose biggest problems are dealing with his family, classmates, and the ever growing dread of his imminent future.

As far as Maito is concerned, mundane problems are more than enough to worry about, and the idea of magic and monsters might as well be nothing more than daydreams. At least, they were until he finds himself in the middle of an Anathema invasion, desperately trying to survive with someone he scarcely knows.

Please be aware this story contains intense violence, gore, traumatic situations, and other potentially unsettling content.

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games. It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America.

Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are... more>> still yet to come......

This is my first web novel and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Terms for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be in the glossary, and I'll try to explain as much of the world as I can in this story. I hope non-Shadowrun fans become interested in the Shadowrun world at large, and I hope Shadowrun fans are entertained by my take on this great in-game universe!

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).
I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it.

I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works.

While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate.

I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself.
