We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course.... more>>

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory.

Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order.

It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time.

When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life.

Serenity.

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

While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges.

The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has.

Of course, that's only his second priority.

A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way.

The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured.

The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery. <<less

The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon.... more>>

So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything.
Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls don’t pay much attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story.

Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon.

A merchant stumbles on a grotto when he is lost and eats his last apple. He plants the seeds the next day to provide food... more>> for future lost travelers. And so, the nymph Theanore is born.
She would grow from a tiny seed to a splendid apple tree. She would meet many friends. She will try her hand at being a merchant like her father. And she will get to know her lifetime companion, the merman Marinus.
But as every farmer can tell you, apple trees live only for about 150 years and so, with her tree dried up so will Theanore die. But before that, she will live.

If you look away from the fact I had to reincarnate as a damn monster which is the lowest of all the bottom feeders? And I had to represent one of the worst goddesses ever!?

And to make things worse, my "birthplace" was a freaking Dungeon! And not your everyday Dungeon with level 1 slimes and goblins, but a freaking Dungeon-turned-world-destroying-facility!

Still, you gotta work with what you have. So see me how I survive in this crazy new world!!

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)
I will add the dungeon core tag when I start posting Dungeon Integration.

From Scorpio With Love

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book Three of
the Cosmos Shared Universe. A place which
is not as desolate as it appears.

Wei is a dungeon core and finally getting a planet of his own. However, despite his best efforts, he can’t gain a form. The only thing he can do is protect the interests of the Dru’dru natives of the planet, a task that seems almost impossible with the recent development coming to light.
Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet.... more>>

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

There are those who enjoy a more vanilla style of lewding, and then there are those who prefer the mint chocolate chip with a side of calamari style of lewding. Damian is one such man. Ever since he was a teenager and was visiting sites much too mature for his age, he has been in love with taboo pairings such as a beauty and a beast. However, there is a problem.... more>>

Damian not only has many bizarre tastes, but he prioritizes consensual versions of his interests above all else. Alas, very little of such content is available.

Fortunately, thanks to one of the latest VRMMORPGs to hit the market and cash shop items, he can finally become all the monsters that he could ever dream of becoming to thoroughly (and consensually) enjoy his friends and other visitors inside of his virtual dungeon! And, of course, there will be monster girls. What better to use on monster girls than actual monsters?

This is the first time that I write anything on the scale of a book/novel and I am not a native english speaker, so the tense might be a bit wobbly and some things might just sound really odd for you. I can take some critic on my writing though, as I am aware that I'm not that good at it. I know where I want to go with my story, but as I have no script I have a lot of freedom.

The rewrite is done let's throw a party! (Though without me, I'm shy)

Leander is a healer. But he is not like those healers who have it all: the fame, the money and the harems. Because he is chubby. Ranked only F, he struggles with life as a new recruit in the Adventurer's Guild. Until he sees a poster that changes his life and sends him on a journey to lose weight, get the fame, money and the harem. Except, his harem will be full of men. But, such is fate. ... more>>

This is a slow burn BL harem with dungeon delving. It follows the old adventurer's guild troupes with some twists and turns. A journey from zero to hero, one could say.

I am also posting this on Ritoria.

(I am using this book to lie to my brain that losing weight is possible with the methods written in the many self-help books I have been reading recently. If you need to shed some fat, you might use Anti-cake Dungeon Delving the same way. A little hope never hurt nobody.)

The metaverse is an expansive place that can sate even the wildest man's dreams if you know where to look. And in this magical expanse there are spellmen, ultimate innate masters of magic; and blackzones, dungeon-like places of high risk and reward that would consume entire worlds if not properly trimmed. Almost everyone wishes to become a pinnacle of mages like a spellman or legacy or phantasma user, or at least become race advanced to make greater use of magic and the Five Powers. And Robert Fayn got just that, in a very round about way.... more>>

25 years old, living in a metropolitan city, this foodie has little prospects outside of his job as a museum educator. But all that changed one day when he was assigned-slash-kidnapped to be the blackzone manager of a newly born Enigma!

Avan, a 25-year-old young man, is torn from his rather boring life. He awakens in Aorus, a world full of magic, monsters and dungeons.... more>>

By a stroke of luck and an ominous skill called "Potential", he awakens a new class never seen before called Dungeonheart (Human). Dungeons, although sentient, are never sapient nor mobile.

Join Avan as he pursues his passion for healing and martial arts, and building his very own dungeon at the same time. He’s the hybrid of a moving dungeon and a healer.

"Healing Dungeon" will include City building, strategy, very little romance, exploration of the world of Aorus, and a touch of power levelling. (There are elements from other fantasy novels, as well as anime, games, and more).
What will all be possible with a dungeon that can move, but still brings some of the familiar dungeon mechanics along for its journey?

-- Please note that the beginning and thus the first chapters were really my first writing works in english, and can only be rewritten at a later time (lack of time in favor for new chapters) --
(The writing style and also the story improves VERY much from the 12th chapter at the latest! Proofreading is available, but I depend on any well-intentioned advice from you guys).

If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticism, or just because you feel like it, feel free to leave me a comment below the respective chapters!
For every positive and serious review or rating, I am infinitely grateful! ;)

I am a creature of few words and the beginning is therefore a little faster than I would have liked it now in retrospect. Please do not expect huge paraphrases and descriptions of the environments, but only what is really necessary to get into the scene.

Cheers and hopefully see you in the comment section.
