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

Would you take the deal? Live your wildest fantasies at the cost of orchestrating the most significant prison break ever conceived?

Once upon a time, blah blah blah a boy and a girl fell love and everything was beautiful and perfect, except for this thing called life getting in their way.

He was this cool foreign prince and she was basically perfect. Really it's a very boring run of the mill story. I'll even spoil it for you, they kill the villianness at the end.

Not the type of story I'd read personally.

So where do I fit into this?

Apparently I'm her older twin sister and the very very lucky fiance to the foreign prince. You know, the dead villainess? Sucks I know.

Now I get to do it all over again from the beginning.

Curse my life

Let's get the worst of it out of the way first: This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. It's an isekai/reborn type Slice of Life novel that plays on the villainess noble girl trope but the MC gets no OP cheats, no magical powers, not even some satisfying face slapping or such self-fulfillment fantasy. Wow, I'm doing a terrible job advertising this thing.

This is an awkward novel, the pacing is slow, and there are no time skips. For some reason still, I really love this little story I'm making.

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 awakens amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensify the sense of foreboding. To his bewilderment, a haunting figure emerges, laboring beneath a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

Fear and confusion grip the child's heart as he grapples with the enigma of his own existence. Who is he, and what dire fate has led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure draws nearer, exacerbating the boy's terror.

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

Volume 1 - Blurb;

'The UnderCurrent Incident' of 2022 gave humanity it's first glance at alien life, although not in an expected way.
It allowed for a VR-like vision into the lives of an entire race of people separate to our own. This novel serialises their story, the story of 5 ordinary pilots partaking in an interplanetary war of galactic proportions.
With no way of knowing if this glimpse into a foreign society is an alternate reality or some distant planet in our own universe, it would only take so long for the public to demand a guided tour - Now you hold that very thing in your hands, with exclusive access to the project and transcripts from the original experiment's team. You will learn of the lives to which UnderCurrent affords us a view into.
Of the Battleship Fluchtig's soldiers, of a conflict that spans far more then any of them know and of their hunt for a 'Dangerous Submarine'.

Now on Royal Road and coming to Scribblehub!
This is my own original work, with obvious inspirations from the likes of Gundam, Dune, 1984, Evangellion, Grimgar and anime in general.
All ideas and concepts shown are my own, though I do Parody some things.
A fair amount of research has gone into many of the topics in this book, but I am by no means an expert in any.

I'd love to share some of the research I've come across on mecha, living in Space, and amputees. Amputees in particular is a worthy topic we should all be more educated on - You may find this video link a brief intro into that world; https://youtu.be/piiFI8QafHs

There is a degree of deconstructionism towards the mecha genre involved with an onus on taking a more practical look at the features of that mode of storytelling, giving actually worldbuilding explanations for some of the fantastical equipment involved and using the likes of military structure and resource management in conjunction with the story, but hopefully this is something anyone can enjoy with no prior knowledge of the genre traditions.

Thanks for reading! <<less

Near a remote mountain mining village, an infant is left in a circle of blue magical flames. Drawn to the fire, the villagers find this infant and see that she is a Terran, a soul reincarnated from a different world, earth. This child, which the villagers named Salis, raise her as one of their own. When Salis is older and learns the language of those around her, she finds out that Terrans have a reputation. One that means those in power will desire if they find her. The power of knowledge that could change the balance of the world.... more>>

This story is my very first I finished so I hope everyone enjoys reading it. The first arc involves school but the second and third arc take our protag to some interesting places. The main character is also a loli for pretty much the whole story but as it isn't the focus I decided not to put it as a tag. I could also put the tragedy genre down for arc two and three but I'm not sure.

I have begun reuploading the story with a new name "Artifice: Tools of the Gods" on Royal Road and will be splitting the chapters split into smaller pieces along with more editing. Those that prefer shorter chapters should wait. <<less

Misha has always been petty—very, very petty. He pays back the smallest grievances tenfold, and his temper flares up more often than not. So, when Santa Claus sends him back in time as a Christmas gift, he’s hell-bent on tormenting his sister’s boyfriend, the cause of all his suffering. No matter what, he has to drive the jerk away, or else misfortunes will befall his family.... more>>

But as time goes by, Misha slowly realizes that things are not as he remembers them. Perhaps, everything he knows about his sister’s boyfriend was built on lies.

That doesn’t mean he will stop pestering the guy, though.

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.

The main character isn't a good person, I'll just put it that way. I'm not going grimdark with the tone, but there will be situations that would be grimdark from a different character's perspective. I don't intend to have any explicit R18, but there will/may be situations that develop right until that point. Maybe I'll change my mind as I write more, but not right now. <<less

Those are lies. Vale is none of those things, the lies the only thing keeping her alive. Until one day she slips up. A single moment of truth ruins it all, awakening a longing for a life not built on things she isn’t.

Vale has to go back to lying. She has to. The Inquisition will kill her if she doesn’t. But the truth is too addictive. Vale is not a vampire. That is a lie. That is how she will die.

Yet maybe... dying happy is better than dying a lie?

Being overweight isn't a crime--it's just something shameful, Andrea's mother is quick to remind her. But that's to be expected in a world where technology and magic makes body goals and perfection attainable. ... more>>

*****

Andrea's mother has high hopes for a male heir to lead their household. Andrea must find a husband--and fast. Without a perfect body, however, there are few prospects. For Andrea, on the verge of being disowned, the inability to control something as simple as her weight further exemplifies her other failings. She heralds from the noble class, lovers of tech who frown upon mingling with the servant magic wielders. But with only one year to secure the title of the estate, Andrea has few options.

Opportunity arrives when a damaged magic wielder named Tanner comes to her estate looking for work. Servants of his creed wouldn't dare associate with nobles usually. Andrea's head tells her to be suspicious, but Tanner, who's easy on the eyes and built like a brick, looks like a great opportunity. He also takes interest in Andrea, something no one else does.

For the first time in Andrea's life, everything seems possible...if only she could quiet that stupid voice in her head warning this is too good to be true.

Over three-hundred years ago, the necromancer, Emperor Keir, almost took over the entire continent of Erebu. It took a coalition of nations from all over the world to defeat him and his army of mindless undead and loyal living subjects. But that was not the end of him, he created a 'Heart' to safely hold his soul, which would allow him to return to life later. ... more>>

In the present day, an army of demons have slaughtered their way across the continent. Most of the human inhabitants are dead, a few million survive in strongholds waiting for a miracle, and the rest of the world has abandoned the continent. In desperation the Eldritch Council, which was formed to prevent the spread of necromancy and ensure Keir would never be released, has resurrected the one time Emperor.

Now Keir has to use his powers to save the continent from an endless tide of demons, while dealing with allies who don't trust him, and under the effect of several geas that limit his actions and plans.

At least these problems put being resurrected as a woman into perspective.
