[I was reborn too weak to be an adventurer, so I opened an item shop by the dungeon instead!]... more>>

Reborn into a fantastical RPG-system based world, Fresh is offered a second chance at life. Initially glad to have escaped her old life, she quickly realizes that this new one might not be much better. Her new body is too frail to follow any grand dreams of adventure, her new mind is too dulled to allow any meticulous planning and this new, seemingly colorful, kind world is anything but.

Needing a way to survive in this horrible place, Fresh bands together with some unusual people and they take on an entirely new challenge; running an item shop just outside of the dungeon!

Does true love even exist anymore? ... more>>

I devoted everything to her, she was the pearl in my palm, I would even sacrifice my life for her. Everything I did, I did for her love. To meet her expectations yet...what awaited me was the cruelest of betrayals.

Was I wrong?

All I asked was to be accepted to have my feeling reciprocated. Is that too much to ask for?

There is nothing left for me in this world, all that I’ve given can never be returned. That’s why...it’s better to just abandon it all.

Maybe the next time I open my eyes, a better world awaits.

Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

However, things start going wrong when everyone within the group starts having accidents until the MC is the last one left.
As our MC finally joins his friends in another world, how will their story goes. How many more trials do they have to face.

Will it be as lovey-dovey and diabetes-inducing?
Will it be a slice of life?
Will it be filled with hardships and tough choices?
Or will it be a total depression that haunts our protags through the story?

Only our MC will be able to know as he goes into that another world and faces the surprises.

This story will contain a lot of violence as killing and fighting. Cannibalism is also depicted in this story along with torture. If this type of story is uncomfortable with you, I think it would be best that you leave this story alone as it will be quite heavy with it. Gory bits such as internals coming out will not be shown in this story but in a spin-off story. The same can also be said towards sexual stuff though some indications would be hinted here.

This is also my first time attempting to write a novel so the method of writing and language might trigger someone. Since I am from Malaysia I might sometimes unconsciously include some Malaysian slang such as lah leh and the such inside.

I wrote this novel purely just for fun and I am also currently studying so I cannot ensure that the update time would stay consistent but I will upload chapters as soon as they are ready to. <<less

Think to yourself, just this one little question-
"What if the Sludge Villain never got away?"

(When a bottle doesn't drop to the floor, a world is changed forevermore)

~~~

Izuku Midoriya was an ordinary kid in an extraordinary world; one of heroes, quirks, and promises of glory to all that dared to reach out for it. If you had a good quirk, that is. And destiny had that all wrapped up in a nice little package for him until something shifted.

It was a minor cog that deviated in the clockwork of destiny, nothing significant in the scheme of things. But, as it turned out, even the most minor of cogs could cause a glitch in the machine. A fracture in fate. And what do you get with fractured fate? Why, who knows? The road he would walk upon in the future, whether it be one of thorns or sunshine, would be decided by him and him alone.

"Life is composed of decisions and perspective. The scenario is irrelevant; one can dance in the rain or cry in it. Thus, the person we are and can become is a product of it as well. That is the very essence of life."

Would he be a savior? A villain?
Or something else entirely?
That is the true question.

Warnings: Gore, Murder, Suicide, Bullying, Depression, Self-harm.

For Chris, however, gaining powers helped him... or rather, her now, feel more human than before. Who would have known her power would reconstruct her body if she let it do its thing without paying attention?

Warning: This is my attempt at trying something new, so I can't assure whether it'll turn out good or not. The fiction will very likely be more disturbing and morally depraved than the rest of my works, so do be warned. Anyways, hope you enjoy it.

{Not a Harem story}... more>>

Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world that has officially labeled him an Ogre in what he believes to be a cruel joke. Before he can get his bearings, Tim is enslaved and put to work killing other monsters for his new masters. Kindhearted and used to being pushed around, Tim must find his spine and turn the tables on a world that would see him dead or in chains.

Intended as a slow burn progression and character progression story, there will be no harems amongst the primary cast of characters. More Gamelit than Litrpg, the text boxes are more frequent in the beginning but taper off as the protagonist paraphrases more mundane information in the same way a normal human being would.

Minor rewrites are coming soon, intended to raise the quality of the first nineteen chapters and split them to a more manageable 7500-ish wordcount each. They will be marked with {Rewrite} once they go live. ETA for the rollout is by the end of August 2022

Released 1/week over the Australian weekend.

I primarily upload on Royal Road, so the release to Scribblehub is sometimes a day or two later due to derp brain.

For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in.... more>>

The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless.

Yet fate had a different path in store for her.

For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being.

Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death.

She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath.

What will fate deal her next?

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

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

Expect:

-Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages

-World building

-Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures

-Occasional action

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance

-Politics, barring passing views and mentions

-A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

Fair warning to any and all readers: this is by far my darkest work, and, looking back on it with hindsight, it contains certain plot elements which I am probably not the best person to portray. To a certain extent, past me may have stepped out of her lane a bit in some places while writing this work. So please be wary that this work contains depictions / discussions of: imprisonment, torture, and general institutional oppression toward marginalized groups with a particular focus on how it affects a trans woman of color. While these things are all portrayed as abhorrent and are widely rebuked as well as directly attacked by this work's protagonists, this work still contains aforementioned elements and may be very upsetting to some because of that. <<less
