Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!... more>>

Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice.

It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more.

You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need.

Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters?

Please Note: I publish daily.
Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy (https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/4342/swamp-boy). The old story (on another site) is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it. <<less

Epoc is the best mech pilot her age. The only problem is that she doesn't have a Frame of her own to pilot.
That is, until she's head-hunted by the CEO of Mako Group who offers her a unique contract.
Pilots don't last through the mental strain very long, but the CEO has a unique way of helping her pilots relieve their stress. ... more>>

The only problem is the contract.
It seems almost too good to be true. Epoc will get her own Frame to pilot, room, board, full medical support.
All it will cost her is her personal freedom, for twenty years.

Epoc is going to have to make a choice

Lena met the goddess of death when she was only a child, and fascinated the goddess with a sense of nostalgia that she can't quite place.... more>>

As Lena grew up, the goddess sent her people to protect her from assassins, schemes, and the foul false emperor who could barely be called a king.

Lena absorbs the strong energy the goddess gives her that is represented with a blood red mist, and grows stronger each time. She is an anomaly. The goddess is not the only one who feels a sense of familiarity with her, though they did not know her a decade ago.

Not only that, but there is a celestial being close by that watches over her closely. Gallae, the planet of calamity, and a sign of impending doom, quietly watches over the child, and over the mother goddess, Imera.

Just who is Lena, now dubbed the Empress by the goddess of death, that she should have the attention of gods and goddesses, and the protection of a high celestial that never turns her attention to the small matters of mortals?

WIP - The first 57 chapters are the Original/old Version, and are left here for reference only.

Loki the Asgardian God of Mischief and Change, found himself punished severely for an event that he had no fault in. Not only that, he started finding that everything that was wrong was blamed on him, even naming him the God of Evil. This triggers Ragnarok, the end of the world, which was again also blamed on him and his children. ... more>>

Upon dying, he discovers that his life, and that of all the other Asgardian Gods were in a constant loop, living and dying at Ragnarok over and over and over again.

Loki finds a way to break free of the endless cycle. In fact, he found a way to join other Pantheons. But ultimately, he is caught by the mysterious powers that be, and in a last ditch attempt, he flees to an uncharted land, taking over the body of a once promising martial prodigy.

Unfortunately, the prodigy is now crippled, horribly tortured and disfigured and it would seem the whole world is against him.

Within a desolate realm, where discarded worlds were stitched together, a rupture tore open, releasing a small child into this fragmented expanse.... more>>

Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake.

Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. To the child's bewilderment, a haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

Fear and confusion grip the child's heart as he began to grapple with the enigma of his own existence. Who was he, and what dire fate led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure drew closer, exacerbating the boy's terror.

Unbeknownst to him, his journey would unveil a profound transformation—an ascent to become the embodiment of fear itself, or perhaps... a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness.

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!

Note: This story is *not* ecchi! Make sure you read the tags! The story starts out quite dark! <<less

And I feel as though something's changing in me growing up now. ... more>>

Author's Note: I wanted to try my hand at writing something like a shojo for once. This has been a story idea for a while, and I decided to make something much shorter than I usually write.

A tale of the Quaranteam world, original by CorruptingPower... more>>

Adam Jeffries tried to do his best in the face of two separate plagues sweeping the world, able to kill fully 25% of women who contract it and over 80% of men. It wasn't enough. Following a break-in he finds that he has contracted it... when he wakes up in the hospital, apparently a rare male survivor. Now the government, seemingly by way of apology, is making sure he gets his vaccine serum in order to make sure he doesn't have to go a second time around. The serum, however, kills men even faster than the disease. The solution? Make it sexually transmitted, and assign remaining men partners according to a compatibility engine called Oracle.

There were... side effects.

Some were known. The women experience a sharp spike in libido and amazingly powerful orgasms, and become bonded to their partner for life. Others were not so common. Some people experience a rapid healing, though not all. The members of Team Jeffries seem to have a unique reaction to the bonding, transforming over time and much more. Where it stops, nobody knows... but the same forces behind the project of saving humanity seem to have taken an interest. Adam? He just wants to live. Is that too much to ask? <<less

Reincarnation is something strange.

You die, and then you are reborn! Normally you wouldn't even know you have been reborn because all your memories would be wiped out, but it didn't happen with our protagonist.

For some reason, he knows he used to live on earth, and also know that he died... Kinda. But what matters is what happened while he was on the white room. . <<less
