Will wants nothing more than for this 18 year long torment known as life to finally end. However, as he holds his grandfather's .357 to his temple, ready to pull the trigger, a mysterious voice from deep within whispers three sinister words: "What's the hurry?"... more>>

Next he finds himself in a shrinks office, before a doctor of such otherworldly beauty he doesn't even feel worthy fantasizing about her. He would think she'd been sent from above if she wasn't so cruel and sadistic as to force him to venture into the depths of his own deeply disturbed mind.

Now he has no choice but to confront all the demons, serpents and other wretched horrors who have claimed dominion there. But to do that, he's going to have to do something about his abominable stat sheet and dreadfully empty inventory.

As you might expect, this book explores some sensitive themes (mental illness, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts), so please keep that in mind before reading. Although the story is a work of fiction, and all the characters are fictional, the familial background and mental difficulties experienced by the main character are based on issues that I have had to overcome myself. The methods include utilizing a repertoire of MMO experience, creativity and of course, humor. This book will often read as a dark comedy and it will include profanity, sexual references and some sexual content (only between characters 18 or older).

The story is unique in that the plot will swing back and forth between a teen rom-com and a psychological hellscape isekai (with the other world being the MC's subconsciousness) while including significant elements of MC progression and LitRPG (with plenty of unique stat sheets).

Release schedule: 5 chaps the first 48 hours, then tentatively 1 per day after. Averaging 2-2.5k words, but a few are a little shorter so I'll publish those as bonus chapters.

NO PART OF THIS BOOK WAS MADE WITH THE HELP OF AI.

In the fractured sprawl of Virelia Prime—a city of rusted steel, synthetic dreams, and brutal survival—Ray is just another forgotten face scraping by. A streetwise courier with a sick mother to care for, Ray navigates the shadows of a cyberpunk world ruled by credits, crime syndicates, and corrupt corporations.... more>>

But everything changes after his death.

Ray discovers he can absorb and interface with machines—consuming them and extracting their knowledge down to the molecular level. What starts with a toothbrush soon escalates into something far more dangerous.

As he uncovers the truth behind his transformation and the hidden forces moving within the city, Ray is forced to confront the question: What does it mean to remain human in a world that rewards cold calculating machines?

Haunted by guilt, hunted by those who want to control or destroy him, and slowly losing the line between man and machine, Ray must choose: stay in the shadows, or rise and reshape his fate.

A cyberpunk tragedy of survival, transformation, and the cost of holding on to humanity. <<less

A USA Marine dies in the line of duty and wakes up in the body of The Wolverine. Now he must determine where he is... more>> and what he should do in his new life. However, some habits are hard to let go. <<less

The Universe is vast. Its Verses are endless.... more>>

When the Ascension Program was initiated, countless worlds were chosen. Humanity was one of them.

Every human was cast into a strange new land, stripped of certainty, and placed under rules not their own. Some fought. Some fled. Others adapted.

Kai didn’t ask for strength. He asked for time.

When he woke up in the Program, surrounded by unfamiliar rules and quiet danger, he didn’t become a hunter or a fighter.
He became an alchemist.

With little more than a brewing room and a handful of herbs, Kai takes the slow path — crafting pills, refining knowledge, and surviving one day at a time.

But in a world where monsters evolve, power defines worth, and others grow stronger with every kill…

Will Kai's path lead to safety — or simply delay the inevitable?

Author's Note:
The Alchemist is part of a series called Ascension Program, which follows multiple main characters across the same Verse.
The first arc of Kai’s story is fully written and will be updated daily.
Once it concludes, the second story — Absolute Control — will begin.

As they dig deeper into the case and their own feelings, they face police corruption, brutal, ruthless hitmen, the steamy, taboo nightlife, and a hidden, terrible secret that could ignite a Mafia war and destroy them both.

However, as she was predisposed to sell the greenhouse because she was desperate for money, she finds her grandfather's secret cultivation technique!

[I am a man.]... more>>

Those are no longer words she could claim. A right she lost alongside her chance at a second life; a second life filled with glory, fame, power-
...Or nothing.

A life filled with Horror.
Dread.
And Madness.
Yet most importantly, Love.
A Love she was born with.
A taboo love, a love for the one she should not love.

Alora found herself not in a world where she could proudly claim a wonderful new life, but a world filled to the brim with imperceptible, horrific horrors clinging to the shadows. And she was not alone, for by her side was the one she loved the most. Thrust into the chaos of an unforgiving, brutal world...

Alora soon discovers that one cannot retain one's mind to survive these horrors.
There is no leeway.
Only madness.

Yes, this is R18, and yes, this has twin love. But, this is not a smut novel, expect there to be mostly plot, psychological aspects, and a spiral into madness as the MC comes to adjust to this world in the first section of the novel. Not to mention the R18 stuff is impossible to happen at the start, read and you'll realise it pretty quickly (a lot of R18 later though). Anyway, if you want satisfying R18 that arrives naturally as the story develops and isn't randomly thrown here and there from chapter 1, then you're in the right place. <<less

However, when a young alchemist Frey Kemi stumbles into Azura's life, she decides to put the stability of her finances, relationships, and personal safety all on the line to rob the man who caused her and her friend so much pain. The right choice is starting to become unclear, but no matter what path she takes Azura is certain of one thing:... more>> she will even the score. Whatever it takes.

This story is a cyberpunk drama, with a heavy focus on dialogue. Everything this story is to me is the characters. There may be sci-fi fantasy fun included, but the center of it all is a story about terribly troubled people who are just trying to feel better about themselves. Each chapter is split into "parts", and each chapter is a bit "slow burn". I am a new writer, and appreciate all feedback! I want to tell a good story, but above everything I want to tell my story. I hope you enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoy sharing the fear, joy, pain, and tenderness of these characters' lives. <<less

Childhood friends Jamie and Anthony are bound by a shared past and the brutal world they grew up in. Total opposites yet closer than blood, they were pulled into the Cortez Crew as boys and learned quickly that survival meant violence, and loyalty was the only currency that mattered.... more>>

But somewhere along the line, their friendship twists into something heavier; a reckless, volatile connection that neither can fully control or admit. In a world where weakness means death and love between men is unacceptable, their bond becomes the most dangerous thing they have.

DEAD END BOYS is a raw, tension-fueled story where trust is fragile, boundaries are shattered, and every choice carries a deadly price. It explores the blurred lines between loyalty and betrayal, love and obsession, and the brutal cost of surviving a life you never chose. <<less

Troy’s got it all figured out—ignore your feelings, make bad decisions, and pretend nothing matters. It’s not healthy, but hey, it’s efficient.... more>>

Then Chris transfers to his school. Soft-spoken. Too kind. Wears glasses unironically. The kind of guy who actually listens when you talk—and worst of all, notices when you're not okay.

Troy doesn’t have time for this. He already has a best friend with a self-destructive streak, a family that doesn’t get it, and a growing list of regrets.

He’s not looking for a real fix. But maybe one finds him anyway.

The Real Fix is a slow-burn coming-of-age story about messy friendships, first love, and the uncomfortable process of actually... feeling things. <<less

He works to support her lifestyle. She lives to protect him from himself. Together, Max and Melanie live a desperate life of rules, ritual, and structured repression. Both searching for permission to live. But the secret that keeps their world together threatens to be revealed when reoccurring nightmares begin bleeding into real life. As the threat of discovery closes in around them, Max finds himself pulled deeper into the nightmare, leaving a wild and curious Melanie alone in a world of vice and danger where exposing their secret could mean the end.... more>>

A story that seeks to explore the depths of identity, the cost of autonomy, and the blurred line between survival and self-destruction. For readers who like existentialism, cerebral horror, dark psychology, and stories where perception is the final battlefield. <<less

I hope this novel will offer a good run through the cultivation world along with my point of view on the cultivation, which is not normally explained in the wuxia novels, which is kind of, at least for me, because I think it's also a very good concept. <<less

Terra, Year 2040
Oh boy! Nothing beats happily organising deliveries at the post office. MC thought, as his home casually fused with the world next door.
“Leave them combined, and bring all the people back. I’m too tired for this.” Serilia - head of the Heavenly Realm, circa 2040.... more>>

Now a low-grade adventurer on the new world, Maliterr year 2048. MC roams with his best pals: Wardi, Rhua, Lucy and Horace. Taking requests for coin. Life is thrilling. The wildlife is ravenous, people slice buildings in half, and don’t get them started on how a blacksmith can make a full set of armour with three ingots and a toothpick.

I’d tell you more, but bandits just turned up. I better start narrating the opening chapter.

Isecant is a continually expanding, fast-paced story that focuses on a powerless, item focused main character (MC) and his friends (who do use powers). MC and his party are thrown into a journey meant for heroes, not average Joes.
This is not a stat window filled story! The litrpg is very minimal and used sparingly.
Filled with British humour, unhinged gods, waves of chaos and a whole bunch of heartfelt moments.
The world itself a mix of High, Low and urban fantasy depending on the area.
WARNING - Strong themes of mental health decline, abuse and death as the story progresses.

Dom, a man in his mid-twenties, suddenly gets reincarnated into the harsh post-apocalyptic world of his favorite game series, Wastelander. With his previous life ended and his new one just beginning he needed a new goal to strive for, and so with an ambitious heart, he decided to pursue the monstrous goal of conquering the wasteland in its entirety that has been left scarred by atomic fire for some two centuries.... more>>

On his journey through this new world, he’ll come face to face with all sorts of dangers ranging anywhere from mutants wanting to tear any human they come across to shreds for a quick meal to bandit clans that love to rape, pillage, and sell their victims into slavery.

Despite those prevalent threats seeming dangerous enough to deter most from even attempting to set foot outside the confines of whatever safe haven they have, they're not even the worst of what he’ll come across in the pursuit of his goals. Dom’s quest will have him go toe to toe with the many powers that exist across the wasteland and their armies in his quest to one day conquer it. Will Dom achieve his dreams in this life or will he succumb to the many dangers that exist within the wasteland and beyond?

The stench of blood and death pierces the nostrils, the smell of rotting corpses strewn by the roadside.... more>>

There isn’t a day without seeing a corpse, without hearing gunshots, without witnessing people strung out on drugs—of course, there’s no day without that.

Embracing a life cloaked in death, the weak have everything taken by the strong. It’s a law even a child can grasp, a chronic, congenital disease festering in this city.

Even if a dismembered corpse lies in an alley, even if stray dogs or birds mimicking grotesque forms peck at an abandoned infant, these are ordinary sights. They’re mundane, not even worth a gasp of astonishment.

This city is the absolute worst.

In this city, everyone lives bearing the weight of sin.

Everyone lives for the sake of survival—bound by sin and punishment. <<less

The world had risen again. After millenniums of Humanity's greed ravaging the Earth, a saving grace had descended upon the wastelands of dried oceans and barren lands.... more>>

It repaired the world, but the scars Humanity cut into the world were permanent. The skies, the lands and the oceans were both artificial and natural, a reminder of action and consequence.

But, all these reminders and warnings fell to the wayside as a new power were once again gifted to Humanity: The Birthrights.

A power given at birth, children with gifts that could shape the world. The reborn earth, healed by Humanity's handiwork now housed a new era of Humanity.

A Superpowered Humanity.

What to expect?
Originally meant to be thought-provoking and every connection would matter. Though now, it is turned into a slop and trashy story with the occasional messed up 18+ plots.

No such thing as barely disguised fetish in here, if it feels vaguely like a fetish then it probably is. <<less

Seventeen true stories from the world's most dangerous no-man's land. When 18-year-old Shen Xingxing crossed the border from China into Myanmar chasing easy money, he never imagined he'd become witness to humanity's darkest extremes.... more>>

From escaping makeshift prisons to running fake drugs for mountain cartels, from watching friends murdered by extremists to delivering 'fresh monkey brains' to Chinese clients—these are the stories that don't make international news.

In the Golden Triangle, where governments fear to tread and laws don't exist, survival means crossing moral lines you never knew you had. Each story pushes deeper into a world where violence is currency, desperation is contagious, and the only way out might be the way you came in—if you're still alive to remember it.

This isn't fiction. This is what happens when civilization's safety net disappears completely. <<less

Ren Amakusa was just an ordinary high school senior in Tokyo. Quiet, artistic, a little withdrawn. A good kid. Raised by a kind, gentle mother who still packed him homemade lunches and supported his dream of becoming a manga artist, Ren had always tried to stay invisible. But on the day he stood up for a classmate being brutally bullied, everything changed.... more>>

He was beaten and thrown from the school rooftop by Kento Naruse, a violent delinquent with Yakuza ties, and his sadistic gang. Yet, Ren never hit the ground.

In that moment of near-death, time shattered. Reality unraveled. And a celestial being descended, a goddess of stars and silence, revealing the truth: Ren is a Child of the Sky, a miracle born beneath a dying star. Awakened by trauma, blessed with extraordinary powers, reality manipulation, gravity control, soul binding, Ren is reborn.

Now, in a world still ruled by cruelty, Ren tries to be a hero.

But power is a dangerous gift.

Can a good kid stay good after gaining power?

Or will he become something far more terrifying? <<less
