“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”.

What does it mean to be a “Hero”?
Long, long years of bloodshed and violence while serving in the US Army has quenched the flames of passion and desire to help others in Mark Floyd’s heart, leaving him as an empty shell of the man he used to be; mind haunted by nightmares, body broken by alcohol (and more).
But as long as even one ember remains in a person’s heart, there is still a chance for the passion they held to be rekindled. Mark is about to get that chance, and the choice that he makes may lead him to a new hope, or destruction.

--- Author's Note ---

Due to a writing competition with another novel, I'll be putting this novel in a hiatus. Though I'll be writing it in the background, and make a major overhaul for it when the competition is over.

Warning: This story is a dark and frustrating read. The main protagonist will suffer, despite his best effort. The plot is very expansive so you'll have to read for a fair bit until everything becomes clear. <<less

Selenia is the Priestess of the Holy Song, the last survivor of the destroyed Order of the Starsilver.

Yet for Selenia, there is no peace or happiness, for she knows what will happen seven years later and she pledges to prevent that at all cost. <<less

God is a pervert.... more>>

I decided that after I died and found myself in heaven.

Although I’m happy that God offered to grant my lifelong wish (to become a girl), the only potential bodies that he offered as options were beautiful bishojos with DDD-size boobs, jade-like skin, and porn-star like curves. He tried to convince me to take the one with the biggest ass and thus become the holy sex princess of some freakish isekai magic kingdom, but I immediately flushed a bright tomato color and punched God right in the face without thinking.

Ah yeah, whoops.

Anyways, I think I made God really angry at me, so now I’m reincarnated in this horrible traumatizing medieval setting as a genuinely unattractive and flat-as-a-washboard girl with some kind of weird autoimmune skin condition.

Every day is a struggle, and it’s taking everything I have to merely survive.

Is there a hope for a better life at all? Even amidst this jungle of darkness, can I find my way out of poverty, meet new people to love, and aspire to make my mark towards a better world?

Welcome to the story of my genderbent life!

Have you ever imagined a world where your pet cat is actually a catgirl?... more>>

In a distant fantasy world, all beastkin are pets. As early as the Stone Age, humans have domesticated this unique breed of talking beasts, and these species have evolved to become dependent on human contact. Today, they are man’s best friend. Whether it is for companionship, intimacy, or a shoulder to lean on, beastkin are often a treasured part of many human families. Every child grows up with one from infancy, and the emotional bonds tying pets to their owners are engraved deep.

Kiel Kitsune is a fox beastkin. His owner, Susella vi Telleste, is the seventeen-year-old daughter of a successful frontier merchant. She is betrothed to the third prince of Kalastasia, and must prepare to move to the capital to join the royal court. However, as mere commoners, they lack the knowledge and political acumen of the urban aristocracy. Adapting to a new environment may be a little more challenging than they’re prepared for.

This is the story of a fox and a girl who embark on an unsettling odyssey through a foreign world of unfamiliar and jarring customs. Together, they must consider the meaning of their connection and the course of their future even as destiny splinters them apart.

This is the story of a teenage girl, Cassie Smith, who, after her death, was recruited into Universal Mercenary Company. Something akin to a ‘Rent A Hero Service’, this mercenary company is one which offers its services to deities, devils, and essentially anyone who can afford their service fee.... more>>

To put it simply, they commit the acts which the gods or devils can’t do themselves. Stopping apocalypses, getting rid of universal troublemakers, killing extremely overpowered, non-affiliated of course, demi-gods, etc. Sometimes, they are even tasked with ensuring that a planet doesn't fall apart; naturally, to them though, it is just another job. If the paycheck is big enough, anything is possible.

This story is about how Cassie goes about coming to terms with her new job, serving as a supernatural mercenary for the first time to be exact. With only a few select objectives assigned to her, she was launched into this fantasy like world with 10 years of training, an assistant A.I., a high potential in Shadow Magic, and an itchy trigger finger.

Oh, before you could proceed any further, let me tell you about myself.

I ain’t some patriotic soldier that’ll lay down my life for the sake of my country. Hell no! That shit is for the people with loose screws!

I had only a few goals when I joined the army: March into battle, kick ass, and earn me some cash! Achieving glory on the way wouldn’t hurt.

I just need the money to feed my little brother and sister. Their world is all I want to protect.

The glory is for washing clean the stains that my father left on the family name. We became such a joke in the country that our mother abandoned us. I don’t know if he really did betray the country, but I don’t care. For my little siblings to suffer the same mockery and humiliation that I did is unacceptable!

To protect the smiles of my only family, I would do anything.

Yet, life knows to shit on you when things are just getting good.

Hello, author-san here!
This is my first story, set up in a fantasy world. It's based on the medieval AND steam era where magic is rare and alchemy is used widely used as a weapon by people.

There would be lots of action, adventure, betrayal, tragedy, romance, etc. ahead.

Warning- The mc is a bit mean and foul-mouthed, introvert.

There would be strong language and lots of monologue narration by the MC.

The stories are fast-paced and progressing faster.

Also, English isn't my first language, so don't expect perfect grammar :(

P.S. - I would like some constructive critique and feedback!
It fills my motivation gauge and increases that rate of chapter/week.
