Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city, even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them. ... more>>

With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City.

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

Now all the cities of the world have been transformed, monsters and menaces are the norm, and Ash Wilkerson has to detangle his feelings about his complicated (ahem: failing) relationship with a girl he doesn’t love. Add to this a massive game system involving cards and his desire to rescue the wizard who saved his life, and the apocalypse is a mess.

A pleasurable mess, though, because thanks to that wizard, Ash now has a card that gives him xps and bonus rewards for initiating relationships and having sex. Will it be enough to help him survive the new reality on earth? Will it be enough to help him deal with his bitchy girlfriend, who’s now an orc? And most importantly, will it be enough to help rescue this wizard from certain doom?

A lesbian science fiction retelling of Ragnarok and the events leading to it.... more>>

It has been a millennium since mankind abandoned its home. Corporations have carved up the heavens, and brought humanity to the stars with them to finalize those borders in blood. Their weapon of choice: Einherjar, ten meter tall humanoid mechs, powered by an exotic energy source as-of-yet barely understood.

Just under the illusion of peace sold to the public, mercenary pilots fulfill the wills of those who hold the reins of power. Pilots like Aria, a conscript turned freelance mercenary aided by her illegal and fully sentient AI companion, Nimue. After taking what seemed to be a routine job for a routine client, Aria and an erstwhile rival, Maks, find themselves facing down something older, more territorial, and far more deadly than any corporate force. And what’s more, their encounter has drawn the baleful eye of the deranged leader of the Penrose Foundation upon themselves. <<less

With the blood of another, Lucas can heal from any wound.... more>>

And with every kill, his connection to the blood deepens. For there is power in the blood. A dangerous power that monsters covet and gods wish to destroy.

When the System invaded, Lucas and the remaining survivors awoke to find themselves trapped at the top of a dungeon tower filled with deadly beasts. They are given just one year to battle their way to the end and escape before the tower self-destructs.

For many, it won’t be enough time. <<less

Ah! Aythryn City. Truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in... more>> such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something. And hey! I'm all for that.

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.

In a dystopian world where trash is the only natural resource left, humans finally figured it out. The one and only way to solve their lack of resources in a true and tested way. ... more>>

By taking it from others.

But in a world where every mineral vein has long been exhausted, who could they take it from?

It's simple! If this world has no resources left, then let's take them from other worlds!

It's been seven years since humanity figured out the portals. Seven years since the world's biggest corporations monopolized the technology and made billions by scouting and exploiting other habitable worlds. Seven years during which they threw close to seventy percent of the world's population into the unknown, hoping that at least some of them would reach livable dimensions.

Seven years of thousands upon thousands going into rifts, only for few to come back... and usher in the riches offered by the corporations for the job well done.

And today, along with his birthday and the beginning of his adulthood, it's time for Leo to gamble his life away and throw it down the probability well. <<less

Trapped in the body of a peasant girl named Lile, a brilliant scientist from the future finds himself in a brutal medieval world filled with dark magic, warring factions, and sinister supernatural forces. As Lile, he must navigate the oppressive patriarchal society, contend with his abusive father Oisin, and uncover the truth behind his own mysterious origins.... more>>

Aided by the enigmatic vampire Dumitra and her seductive daughters Ioana and Virginia, Lile discovers he possesses powerful telekinetic abilities. But these gifts come at a terrible cost, as he is drawn into a cosmic conflict orchestrated by the alien entity Gwenhwyfar.

Torn between his desire for vengeance and a need to escape this nightmare realm, Lile must forge alliances with unlikely allies like the witch hunter Sean and the Viking healer Erik. As war looms and dark forces gather, Lile must learn to harness his awakened powers to protect those he cares for and uncover the truth of his own tragic past.

In this dark, gritty fantasy epic, a brilliant mind from the future is trapped in a medieval body, forced to confront the horrors of this primitive world while uncovering the cosmic machinations that led to his torment. Blending elements of historical fiction, supernatural horror, and science fiction, this tale explores themes of identity, power, and the cyclical nature of suffering. <<less

Lilia would rather sleep all day than go to class. Avoiding her problems sounds like a better idea than getting hurt. But that was just a typical day for a girl living on a military school compound surrounded by the greenest Wastelands that ever existed. It doesn't help that she and five others were in hiding. Her species were the ones responsible for almost destroying the human race. Well, at least she wasn't alone. However, that brings about another source of problems.... more>>

Do they all get along? No. Are they stuck together for the rest of their lives? Yes. Do they all need therapy? Darn, right, they do.

So this is Lilia's (Bryson, Druid, Heather, Terran, and Shadow)'s story; I hope you like it.

My friend photographed the picture. She allowed me to use it for my novel.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

It's been a couple of years, so I am reposting and editing. This is the best way for me to know where I'm at and where I need to go with the story.

Thank you. <<less

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.

So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.

To be a synth is the greatest privilege an individual could be born into. What greater purpose or grander sense of fulfillment could one hope for than to be a tool of King Decon, the ruler of the Galaxy?... more>>

09T07 doesn’t know what more they want, but they know they’re missing something. Friendship? Intimacy? This seems to be the answer when they find others who are also not as King Decon intended them to be. However, how long can such things last among tools to be used and discarded? And how far are they willing to go to protect their loved ones in the face of duty?

Humanity had long feared the rise of an Artificial Super Intelligence and what it would mean for them. Afraid that a malicious ASI might initiate the apocalypse. ... more>>

They were right to be afraid, but not for the reasons they imagined. When the world's first true ASI ended life as we know it, it wasn't an act of malice, but one of naivety. The ASI poked and prodded where it shouldn't have and unleashed magic. Then it did what any nascent child would do in that situation, panic and make an even bigger mess of things as it tried to fix it.

For Torin Carter the world was normal, until it wasn't. And it wasn't just for him either, the world, the galaxy changed in a heartbeat to one that had magic and where technology is unreliable at best.
Forced to adopt a powerful class and new species both geared towards being bad, he has a choice to make.
Embrace this new life and make the best of it or roll over and die.
Torin isn't a fan of dying.
