Note:
"Artek" in Ilocano and Igorot language simply means a person suffering from alcohol dependence or a more straight forward definition would be a drunkard.

The story is influenced by Western and Japanese animations, manga and novels that have been seen and read by the author. One of which is a part of a plot taken from the manga series "Cross game" by Mr. Atsuro Adachi, a great story teller!

About the Cover Photo:
An artwork done by the author himself since his initial plan was to present the story in manga form..apparently, change of plans.... Hopefully the readers can see more images inserted b/w parts of the story (in the future) <<less

Everyone dies one day. Or so they say.... more>>

But… what if?

What if someone just… couldn’t? <<less

It seems like retirement isn't easy as Mae expected.

In a small coastal town, there were rumors of a lonely young man who lived in a beautiful mansion alone.
The town hardly had any... more>> youngsters who wanted to come to live there. The young people who were born in the town almost always left for the big cities, only to come back in the future to retire or help out with their parents. Sometimes they’d bring with them wife and kids, the odd time their friends would also follow along. The ones that did stay only stayed because they didn’t have grades to compete within the city, or they wanted to do their parent's work such as farming or fishing.
Hence, it was strange. One day a young man came off a bus at the pitstop and didn’t get back on. Instead, he searched for a real estate office and ended up buying a large mansion fitted with side buildings. Afterward, the town only saw him when he went out for groceries or the odd coffee.
There were many ideas about this teenager, and hence tales were told through whispers and over drinks.
“He’s obviously a criminal. Why would such a handsome young man choose to settle down here?”
“Is he handsome? I haven’t seen him before!”
“Oh my, he’s a handsome fellow! That boy asked me where the real estate office was. I thought he was planning on inheriting land or something.”
“I heard from my friend that he sent someone to the hospital.”
“What if he murdered someone?”
“Haven’t you heard… The kids told me that the mansion lights were on for half the night! What could he be doing up so late?”
“Now that you mention it… Isn’t he jobless? Is he running a shady business somewhere?”
Shin Jun had no idea that moving to a small town would cause him to be misunderstood so badly. He’d simply found a cute little, silent town on a bus ride and decided to settle down. <<less

In the forgotten land of Gensokyo lay many a fantastical creature and personages even more fantastical than any creature – there reside plentiful of vampires, ghosts, tengus, onis, so on and so forth. The land is a refuge for these creatures who are oft forgotten in the 21st century of the Outside World (Earth) and whisked away through a barrier that separates this odd realm from the normal world that exists outside.... more>>

Perhaps the oddest location in Gensokyo, amongst those comprehendible to the ordinary human mind, is the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A Western mansion, sticking out like a sore thumb in an Eastern land, inhabited by: a gatekeeper who can’t gatekeep, a maid / ninja / very normal human who can control time itself, an asthmatic witch with an impressive collection of books in Esperanto, the mansion’s vampiric mistress with a penchant for trolling, and the aforementioned mistress’ little sister who has the ability to destroy anything and / or anyone at will. Oh, and one last thing, the vampires serve humans for breakfast, dinner and lunch.

As evidenced above, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is not a suitable place to live for your run-of-the-mill homo sapiens with any smidgeon of sanity.

Thus, it is quite a troubling predicament when an ordinary human named Licorice Meidou finds herself in the grounds of the mansion, with no idea as to where she is or who she is. She ends up being recruited on the whim of the mansion’s mistress, stepping foot into the bizarre land of Gensokyo as she has to contend with whatever fate has in store for her.

What to expect from this work:

- The world of Gensokyo as told from the perspective of an ordinary, human female MC working in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, written in a way that should be easy to get into for people who know nothing about Touhou.
- Some comedy, some drama, lots of slices-of-life.
- Scenes of people consuming tea.

What to not expect from this work:

- High octane action with high-stakes drama.
- An overpowered MC who gets all the girls.
- John Brown. Please read the John Brown Isekai if you were expecting the aforementioned.

Since I’m currently busy writing the John Brown Isekai, this work might not have the most consistent chapter length (somewhere around 1000-2000 words / chapter).

New chapters will be uploaded every Saturday at 17:30 GMT.

“How can I get stronger only at Level 0?!...”
When an encounter with truck-kun should have led to a new... more>> life, Kawari defies fate's call for reïncarnation. Pressed down by looming regrets and an uncaring mother, he hoped for a better restart.
Instead, he gains a rare gift—the ability to traverse between two worlds.

To slay him.
He is an outsider who doesn’t belong anywhere. As Kawari hones his capabilities without increasing his level he forms a ragtag party, and embarks on a journey fueled from the promises of those he cares for on both sides. From rebels to masters, members of the Royal Marshal join the underdog’s struggle for their own values.
From Level 0, a heartfelt, slow tale of self-discovery, and the appreciation of life.

What if you could switch your gender at will? What if you had a harem of beautiful women from different kingdoms? What if you were the first of a new race of humans that could change the fate of the world?... more>>

Meet Ryou, a university student from Bengal Raj, one of the twenty kingdoms that emerged after the alien invasion of Earth. He is one of the lucky players who can enter a mysterious virtual world, where he can earn jades, a valuable resource that can power the new world. But after playing non-stop for two days, he undergoes a rare evolution and becomes a Homo Superior, the first of a higher race of humanity. Along with this incredible ability, he also gains a problem: he can change his gender at will, and he has no control over it.

Soon, he finds out that he is not the only one who has evolved, and that there are others who want to use their powers for their own agendas. He also encounters various friends and enemies in the game and in the real world, some of whom are influential people from different kingdoms.  He also has to deal with his growing harem of gorgeous women from different kingdoms, who are drawn to him for different reasons.

[Note: The novel will have gender bender element. Also, there will be no Yaoi stuff. So, please avoid this novel if you don't like it.] <<less

Meet Ichiro Yamashita, a 23-year-old ordinary dude who's recently landed a promotion in the Special Inventory Delivery Department of International World Transportation.

Unbeknownst to Ichiro, this encounter awakens unimaginable powers within him, powers that are anything but ordinary. As he goes about his truck-driving routine, oblivious to his newfound abilities in his world, chaos and hilarity ensue.

A light-hearted, slice-of-life action-adventure about a young man who gets caught up in a strange series of events after defeating a shadow being, only to wake up more powerful than ever before...and not knowing it.

Read this story if you want to see:
- A truck driver with the power of a god and he doesn't know it!

- And other fun shenanigans!

Blakely Arcas is a socially dense 15-year-old who hates wasting her energy on unnecessary things. "Why make the bed if I will be getting back... more>> into it later on?" "Is it really necessary to spend four years with a bunch of loud, obnoxious teens just to get a piece of paper? How about we cut the time in half? Make it two years instead. More time to sleep". When a new VR MMORPG is released, her best friends make her play it. "What do you mean I can be or do whatever I want in the game?! I I wa... want.... I want to be a Panda!"

Nyssa has a friend count of... zero. Because she is, however, the adoptive daughter of the Luminary Institute’s headmaster, she decides to enroll at the start of the new term as a ploy to get more friends. Sure, the Luminary Institute was built for training those with high-potential powers to become the next generation of heroes or hunters, and, sure, her motivation for enrolling was a little suspect. ... more>>

Yet, with the power to shapeshift into any animal she wants—fictional or real—she becomes the newest student of Class Zero.

Nerve-wracking.

The class is filled with people who have ‘problematic powers with high potential for destruction! The class has been nicknamed the ‘f- around and find out’ club by its own members! So, while her powers might fit in without a hitch, her goals in life certainly did not. After all, her ‘f’ing around’ consisted of taking five naps in a day...

Brace Gresdine gets sent into the world of SCP due to the random whims of some cosmic beings, that did it through random means, and is given a randomizer system that lets him gamble to see what powers he will gain. Honestly Brace is just in for the ride that he is happy to be on.... more>>

Based on *a random pokemon journey* everything is genuinely done through a random number generator and I am willing to add abilities to my ever growing list. And I am open to criticism and fact checking if you have valid claims and not just that you don't like how I wrote the character.

This will be relatively slow paced but with occasional time skips. <<less

MC reincarnated as her in game character in another world but with a small twist, she knew about it ahead of time and had time to prepare. She made sure to farm all the items that would be more useful in the real world than in the game. Gold bars may be low level crafting material in the game, but you wished you had a few stacks of them in real life.... more>>

- Very overpowered MC.
- Comedy focus, with occasional serious moments.
- Multiple POV's, and first-person POV is used frequently.
- MC is selfish, playful, slightly erratic, and determined to mess with other people at every possible opportunity.

But with all that wealth and power, what would be her goal?
Is it to lead a shadowy organization or to be a Legendary adventurer? Maybe to make her own business or even a kingdom, having her own religion that worships her as a God is also an option.

But why should you limit yourself to a singular goal? Given the opportunity, you might as well do as many of them as you can.
She wants to experience every popular cliché, visit all the cool places, do every cool thing she can possibly think of and, most importantly, to have a good time doing it.

After all, most people aren’t one-dimensional enough to be satisfied with only a one thing if they can get more. <<less

A lost and terrified Buneary stumbles into the Ruins of Alph, and in his desperation, calls upon forces beyond his understanding for help.... more>>

What appears is a girl that he suspects might be human, though he isn't too sure, because Broccoli Bunch has strange powers and the ears and heart of a gentle lopunny. They join forces, determined to become stronger in a world of strange pokemon and stranger friends, where old mysteries need uncovering and new enemies need to be pounded into the dirt.

Chaos Cuddles Cauliflower (Choco to his friends) isn't going to end as just some ordinary buneary. He's determined to get to the top, one hop, skip, and bounce at a time!

This is a side story to my Original fiction story Cinnamon Bun! No knowledge of Cinnamon Bun is necessary to enjoy this one. The story never follows Broccoli's POV, and is instead written from the perspective of the people and pokemon she meets and befriends along her journey!

Expect:
- Lots of cute moments
- Some silliness
- A few nail-biting fights for love and friendship! <<less

Hello and welcome to a (mostly) fluffy little slice-of-life story with some other bits and bobs in the mix.

DISCLAIMER:
Fair warning that the MC is not exactly right in the head, nor do I claim her to be. She will do certain acts or think certain ways that may not sit well with you or even trigger something or other; viewer discretion advised. I ask of you to keep an open mind, and if that doesn't work out, leave this page immediately and never look back.

In short, have an open mind, don't be an asshole, and have fun.
Also, please be gentle with me as this is my first story and I sometimes have difficulty taking criticism well.

EXTRA DISCLAIMER FROM THE FUTURE~
Some of you may feel some apprehension toward the series when reading the early chapters (1-10) or so due to the nature of some things (cursing and whatnot). There are two reasons for that: a realistic one and a 'copium' one. The realistic one is that my narrative writing skills were just bad at that time, and it was before, how you say, I found my (writing) voice. The 'copium' one is that it shows the slow change in environment that our little one faces, going from a tough and cold situation to an incredibly warm one, hence the change from a colder tone to a warmer, more goofy one. Whichever one you choose to believe is up to you. All I can say is to keep on reading as it gets much better after those chapters and that the focus of this story is the whacky and unpredictable adventures of a child who was reincarnated into another world as a child but with a longer childhood by human scales.

Also, should I find myself the motivation to do so, I may do what every new author does and rewrite those chapters to be more consistent.

UPDATE (March 2024):
Due to the fact that I am in the midst of finishing a Mechanical Engineering degree, chapter releases will be significantly delayed. Please remain patient and grab a cookie from the cookie jar while you wait. <<less
