Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

Eons ago a devastating and apocalyptic battle took place that rocked every dark and loathsome corner of the multiverse. In the aftermath of the battle, deities, demon-lords, old ones, arch-devils, angel kings and archon queens, not to mention other cosmically powerful entities were totally obliterated. Despite this history-changing occurrence, life found a way and life went on in a godless multiverse for an unimaginable length of time. And in time, even the mightiest and most popular gods were nearly forgotten.... more>>

But one day, in a universe unlike our own, an altogether fantastic and magical universe, a deity is born. A new deity. A deity of a nebulous morality. Join the aforementioned morally unbound deity as he embarks on a quest to gain power, worshippers, and glory.

This story features a deity as its protagonist, but it's a deity who starts off alone in a dark and harsh multiverse. He needs worshippers to grow in power and has to earn his victories intelligently. He seeks to gain worshippers, discover the truth behind his genesis, and become the deity he is meant to be. He is a protagonist who will hurt others, and he's unafraid to kill and destroy what he can't control. This is his story.

This story does feature sex, gore, and other mature & adult things. It can also be read on Royal Road & Web-Novel. The author of the story here is also the story's original author.

- This story is mostly lighthearted for the first 2 arcs but I plan to make it get a bit more serious as the arc's progress. Warning! Strong Language and both references and actual scene's of sex will occur none of which are with underage character's but this is not a smut and as such it is not the main focus. I do update the glossary as we learn new information as well as any information that I view as important so check it out for some in-depth world building as this story progresses. I plan on posting new chapters, first on Patreon then on here, about twice a week, Monday and Friday, as much as possible.

Watch how she weaves around the agendas of some unfathomable divine beings, destroys entire ecosystems for food, protects all whom she treasures from harm at all costs, and somehow gets involved in a three-way war between humans, demons, and elves!

I'm not a native English speaker/writer, so don't expect expert level writing. If you find any writing mistake, you can point them out in a comment and I'll fix them asap!

I started writing this fanfic out of boredom and due to the lack of "So I'm a Spider, So What?" fanfics on the internet, so don't expect an award-winning level plot with gripping . I would appreciate constructive criticism and new ideas to add to the mix.

The whole gender bender thing is just there cause I wanna write about a female protagonist even though I don't know much about women's life perspective. You can just ignore it and consider this a fem mc fanfic.

I will mostly focus on the "So I'm a Spider, So What?" world, but the protagonist might go to other worlds for a number of reason. In such cases, I'll either create an entire new fic where I post such arcs, or normally add them here with an attached tag behind the chapter name.

I try to keep a semi-regular update schedule, but I keep in mind that I'm college student with limited time and a busy unstable schedule. Missed or delayed uploads will be fairly common.

The elements in this fanfic are not mine except for my own additions to the worldview, specifically (The protagonist, the new monsters, the OCs etc...) and they all belong to the author of the wonderful novel "So I'm a Spider, So What?", Okina Baba.

In the world of Alstaria, there or many factions and races. Wars are fought nearly every decade, some for survival, some for conquest, others for bloodshed.
But one war that happens every fifty years, is the war waged when a new Demon King is born.... more>>

Every fifty years, the races of the dark god pray towards their Shard of Evil, a remnant of the evil god, who was said to want to tear the world asunder.
These races pray towards this shard in hopes that it will bestow upon their race a champion, a leader for their people, to lead them towards their glory.

Five years before the new Demon King’s awakening, there was a prophecy. That this year was the ten-thousandth year of Demon King summoning.
And that this Demon King would be the Omega Demon King, the literal incarnation of the evil old god.

It was then, On the thousandth anniversary that I awoke on a stone pedestal, surrounded by goblins bowing before me chanting, “Praise our new Demon Lord!” EHH?! <<less

This fanfiction is set in my original world, but MC will travel to an anime world per volume. To be warned, this story is not a Kingdom Building Fic.

You should turn around if you were expecting something serious from this story. No, this story is not to be taken seriously.
And the main trope of this story is Misunderstandings, Lucky Protagonist, and Childish Protagonist.
There will be lots and lots of plot armors because of the trope. So, you can turn away now if you don't like MC not getting any hardships to break his limit.

Another thing, do not expect worldbuilding in volume 01. Like... nothing at all. You will learn more about the world starting from Volume 02.

Tags are not for show. Check those first before reading.

***This book is a dark fantasy novel featuring an anti-hero / villain as the protagonist, who grows in power to become a demon lord while simultaneously building up a harem with lots of explicit scenes further into the series.

***Important Note: This book series is one side of the same coin from the book 'Eleknar's Heir'. Originally I posted this series on Royal Road, leading into harem and smut much later on (pretty much in book 2). Many of the readers either loved or hated that aspect, so I decided to make this version much more focused on smut and the royal road version focused far more on the other aspects of the storyline. If you want the new non-smut non-harem version, it can be found here:

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/67877/eleknars-heir

***This version of the story has some new characters with others from the original gone, and although it is focused on a lot of smut it's originally a SLOW progression into those scenarios and doesn't just jump right into things unrealistically, has a lot of actual story and not just filler. It's a little over 85k words into the story that the harem aspects present themselves. <<less

Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead.

Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces.

“You’re not who I thought you were.”

“I despise you, Sister.”

“It’s revolting to even look at you.”

Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win.

No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them?

For 200 Years, The Demons of Dreadthorn Awaited Their Dark God's Return, But Instead of Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, They Summoned Me! Just Greg: My Accidental Life as a Demon Lord, a Misguided Crusade, and the High Priestess Who Holds the Key to My Fate.... more>>

Oh, you’re still here? You want the long version? Okay…

For over two hundred years, the demons of Dreadthorn have been waiting patiently for their dark god to return and lead them to victory over a cruel world that reviles them. But when the day of summoning finally arrived, they didn’t summon Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, God of Monsters and Beasts, Aspect of Destruction, Harbinger of Dread, Bringer of Retribution, and Reaper of Shadows.

No, they summoned me: Greg. Just… Greg.

Last I checked I wasn’t a dark god, though I seem to have been reincarnated into the body of one. Thankfully, the demons don’t seem to have caught on yet, but my new Generals are expecting me to lead their legions to victory. Imagine how surprised they’re going to be when they realize I’ve never held a sword and don’t know the first thing about magic.

It won’t be easy to keep the demons convinced I’m their god, but I’ll have to play along if I hope to survive. Worse yet, even if I manage to keep the demons from killing me, the Goddess of Light and her angels will surely try.

I don’t suppose they’d be willing to talk it out, would they?

* What to Expect: *
- Strong (but clueless) to stronger (and competent) protagonist.
- Slow burn, small harem romance with occasionally explicit chapters.
- Slow burn story in general, focus on character building and relationship development.
- Mixture of comedic and serious moments.
- Dual cultivation type of progression, though the MC works on building their strength by other means as well.
- Horny demons.

In this world, one must realize that we are not born equal. Intrinsically, the value of each individual being is unquantifiable. However, when we are born, we are born in many varying positions- sometimes at the bottom, sometimes at the top. Thus, we strive to reach a higher place in life. Though try as we may, we must realize our lack of equality. Only in death, are we truly equal.
