Sneak Peek:

Next to the kitchen, there was a small squared table and two wooden chairs, each made from different wood. The bookshelf behind those contained a decent amount of books.

I stood up to take a closer look at them and even opened a few out of curiosity. While I could read most of them just fine, some of the oldest-looking books were written in a language I didn't recognize.

"Hm? Was my hand always blue?"

I didn't remember. In fact, I couldn't recall anything about myself, not even my name. Inspecting the rest of my body, I found that it was the same all over. I didn't feel sick; quite the opposite. Still, my blue skin felt out of place for some reason. Trying to find an answer to my situation, I kept investigating the odd room.

-intention-
This is to be a story about a transmigration from the current modern world to a cross dimension and surviving and growing in a fantasy place. Could you change your environment? One of the Main Characters are propelled by their heart to a dungeon core, and is forced to make a choice. To help or not to help that is the question. Now where should they make a new home? The MC's goal is to change monsters from fearful creatures into a new type of people. A new nitche in society could spring forth from the core and monsters. But is it possible to co-exist with humans so long... more>> as you remain humane? Will it be possible to make a home and workers from monsters? Time will tell what kind of Core Sakura is. And how will these monsters do around the people of this fantasy world. Assets to everyone or a walking hazard, time will tell.
Elements of dungeons, elf's, magic, and much much more as we follow John the Migrant, and Sakura the Dungeon core in their adventures or miss adventures as they try their hand in the world.

Reader discretion is advised. Rated (MA-Only)
*Story may have strong language or adult content. Not every chapter needs a warning but the story in whole may have aspects that are not suitable for all audiences. In any given chapter something may happen that requires a warning. So I post it here. Dungeon core Sakura is assumed to be over 40 years of age, and monsters are undetermined. Age and maturity may differ but all characters are assumed over 18.

Every warning I could give then assume it has been given here. Don't get triggered as warning has been provided.
Not entirely a vulgar story as a base, but may have such content in course of telling a story or depicting characters. All bad behavior and actions are condoned and nothing harmful should ever be done to a person. Meaning all bad behavior depicted in the story is discouraged. Please be kind to one another.

Updates: Wednesday, Saturday - at least I'm trying
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

A quick note before the synopsis: This story is not written in the style of a novel. I've seen the style being compared to a DnD campaign so if that's not something you would enjoy reading, you probably will not like this story.... more>>

EDIT: As of Chapter 639, I changed the writing style. It's much closer to standard writing now. I'm not sure if I will go back and update all previous chapters to the new style. It would take a lot of time and I would rather spend that time writing new ones instead of changing old ones.

Also, I write this story for my friends to read and Scribble Hub is a convenient place for them to read it instead of me sending them the individual documents for every chapter. So, you can read it, or don't. It doesn't matter to me. As long as I enjoy writing it and my friends enjoy reading it, that's all that matters to me. This story was never originally going to see any kind of public release. Now for the synopsis.

BTS 1 Synopsis:
118 years ago, Earth was ravaged by a major war between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Now, a young man named Zeth, who has just discovered he has magic abilities, finds himself faced with helping Heaven to prevent another invasion of Earth by Hell. Zeth and his new friends must journey through the world, different dimensions, and the divine realm to put a stop to the threats that face the world and perhaps answer the biggest question of all, what caused the conflict between Heaven and Hell in the first place? This is a journey that must go beyond the stars!

BTS 2 synopsis down at the bottom.

***

Beyond The Stars is a story inspired by battle shonen mangas (as well as my enjoyment of romance) but is darker than shonen stories usually are. I began writing it in November 2014 and the story is still ongoing to this day. The story is fully planned out so nothing I add is done as I go. The only exception is the moment to moment parts of fights. Consider this story a "word manga" as I write this story like it would be an actual manga.

Also I love the use of foreshadowing so always keep an eye out for anything that looks like foreshadowing.

I do make use of Scribble Hub's Glossary feature where I will put the list of arcs (and chapter numbers in those arcs) as well as a list of characters and their descriptions. Currently, it only has characters that have been drawn but soon I'm going to take some time to add all of the characters.

BTS 2 Synopsis: (Chapter 575 and onward)

Following the defeat of the Dark Goddess and peace returning to Earth, the threat of the abyss begins to loom. Zeth, Sasha, and the other heroes must travel to other planets in the galaxy as well as the Divine World itself to find a way to stop it, or else lose the entire galaxy to the abyss. <<less

Hong Shen is a criminal wanted for murder and theft in two different countries. But when retribution finally comes for him, it isn't by the... more>> authorities; it comes in the form of a knife to the back, held by his partner in crime.
As he lay bleeding beneath a dead plum tree, the notorious killer submits to death. Instead, he is given two choices - die, or have a second chance.
To take the second chance would mean he must complete a trial in the past in order to return to the present. But what he doesn't know is that the trial isn't only difficult for him, it's even more difficult for the person he must transmigrate into to fulfill it. <<less

Note: Sorry, month-long hiatus until June 25th, 2023 due to family stuff! Please see the new "update"! ... more>>

Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

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…

Chapters will range from 1-2k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

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

Expect:

-War, with little to no punches pulled.

-Army building

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance
