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. But little does he know, his life is about to take a bizarre turn after a showdown with a nightmarish shadow creature that's been haunting his dreams.... more>>

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!
- The effects of his actions in his dreams and nightmares on reality!
- The world at large reacting differently to him because they think he's crazy or dangerous!
- Blending of genres into something fresh!
- And other fun shenanigans!

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.

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

A young man from Earth is living his life as best as he could, though it seems boring. Despite his efforts, no rewards awaited him. Fed up with everything, he often found himself wasting time. His routine was monotonous: wake up, go to school, come back home, and indulge in whatever entertainment the internet offered until late into the night. After a few hours of sleep, the cycle would repeat.... more>>

This pattern continued until a fateful encounter. During his second year of college, on his way home, he came across an injured kitty on the roadside. He tried to assist, but it appeared to be too late for the little creature. Or so he believed.

In an unexpected twist, before he could act further, he was kidnapped. The abductor? A house. The kitty wasn't spared either, and both of them disappeared into the structure, never to be seen on Earth again.

Suddenly, the young man found himself in the ancient House of Magus. This wasn't a part of the material world; it seemed to exist either in the spiritual realm or somewhere in between.

Now, witness this young man's adventures as he encounters the beings that inhabit this house and its surroundings. As he tries to settle into his role as the housekeeper, he must also manage the myriad challenges thrown his way.

"Wait, what do you mean the kitty was the primary target? Am I just collateral damage?"

A journey filled with amusement, self-discovery, and a fair share of frustrations with his unconventional tenants begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly stress-free story about daily life of Mc living in fantasy house with non-human tenants. There will be some action once in a while but it is not the main theme.
This is basically opposite of my other novel which is way more grim. In this there won't be probably even bloodshed.

The story can be read also on RR. <<less

In the forest of the elves, in the town of ylhelin, Kilyn Cairieth awakes startled by a sudden rush of memories, memories of a past life... This should have been concerning for any other person, but Kilyn is too preoccupied with being happy that she can feel emotions now.... more>>

"Also... Guns!" And the fantasy world was introduced to the horrors of firearms combined with magic.

Truly a terrifying combination.

It was too late when she realized this world seemed too familiar.

First of all, this is my first original work (All of my others are Fanfiction), so there will be mistakes... a lot of them... Be gentle with me pls.
If you have something to say, be it a recommendation, or maybe I wrote something wrong, please point it out, or else I won't get better.

Also, I'm going to be completely honest here, I don't know where to take this story at the moment (Writing this when I'm halfway through writing the FIRST chapter), really I'm just going with the flow, whatever my muse thinks feels right. I'll still try to figure out where to take this story, don't want this to be a complete dumpster fire.

Don't expect some drama-filled, gory type of story, or anything TOO emotional, they are just not my kind of story to write. (Though I'm not against mutilating my characters once in a while.) This is supposed to be a laid-back type of story. The MC just enjoys her new life at her pace.

Schedule? What's that? Sorry...
I'll try to come up with a decent enough schedule. That's the main reason why the chapters will not be long.

That's it.

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

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!

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...

Sophia and the group are back on the road and finally have set out to do what they planned to do hundreds of chapters ago. It's time to explore the world they live in and maybe more.... more>>

Winter has been long and comfortable but also a little boring. As the temperature climbed, the desire to explore and travel soared just as much. With the group of friends (and more) having significantly grown, everyone can't wait to see more of the world they love while having a great time with each other.

Ridiculous magic and destroying every speck of common sense that's left obviously can't go unmentioned either, can it? Don't worry, -Boosted Restart- was merely a warmup for Sophia. She hasn't shown her full power yet. Far from it. The things she still has to learn from and about magic far outweigh everything she already knows. Much to the displeasure of the last remaining wielders of common sense.

Notes:
-----

Just like the prequel, Boosted Restart, this story is mainly about characters and their interactions with each other. Lots of mundane events with lots of fluff and many cute girls (and Fen) enjoying each other's company (and more~)
I'll try to give the adventure tag more justice this time and try some experiments here and there, but this story will continue to be a slow-paced slice-of-life tale where not much happens.

If you're looking for something fast-paced with lots of thrilling action, fighting, and/or epic tales, I -HIGHLY- suggest you close this page and search elsewhere. You won't be happy here.

This story is for me to unwind, and so I write about things I like and help me relax. That's not action, but cute girls doing cute (and occasionally spicy~) things together.

To everyone this sounds appealing to:
Welcome, and have a great time~! <<less

Ark, a budding human magician enjoying his second life in a new world full of swords and magic left his home to become an adventurer, only to be defeated on a goblin subjugation quest. Waking up in a lightless cavern, Ark's battle for survival begins with his lower half! Can he rise to the task of being the brand new freely shared husband of an entire tribe consisting of only female goblins who want nothing more than to procreate with him every waking moment? ... more>>

You better fuckin' believe it.

For the record, this is less dark fantasy and more wacky fantasy that occasionally touches on some slow life family drama. It starts out smutty but does begin to flesh out into actual plot as the story progresses. There can be mild depictions of cruelty and gore, but, I mean, what do you expect when you're reading a web novel that has goblins? <<less

When his sister had won an additional Dive Gear in a lottery, after already buying one in the mall along with a game, Yoruto decided to sell the one they'd won since he's not into all of that since junior high.
However, his sister wanted otherwise and begged him to keep it so that he could play a recently released VRMMORPG game, Umbra Frontier Online, with her.... more>>

Unable to refuse his little sister's plead, Yoruto gave in and went along with his sister's request; jumping into the world of Umbra Frontier Online, or UFO for short, as a beautiful dark elf woman named "Yoru".

Why did he choose to make a female character, you may ask? Well, he didn't. He just pressed the Random button at the character creation screen and rolled with whatever he got out of it.

I wanted to write a chocolate MC again, so here's a new story!

- Updates: Two times per week on any day I wish. (Currently once per week)

- Cringe? Maybe.
- Chocolate? At the end of each chapter.

It begins as a usual isekai story.
No, wait. It`s worse. It's otome isekai. And I`m the villain.

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

Hanazawa Hanako was a young otaku girl, technically a hikikomori, a degenerate, and a netizen. She died though. (LOL)... more>>

What to expect:
- Protagonist (Female) x Love interests (Futa).
- Submissive protagonist (In bed only).
- Harem, not polyamory.

After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way.... more>>

They say the "Living Jade Empire" creates individualized quests. They say it can read your mind. They say you can find your heart's desire. They say that there's never been a game like it, and they're right but… they're also wrong.

The game is a data mine, built to retell the old tales that humans have been telling each other since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, fantasies, and maybe just a bit of stardust.

But in the end, will the game be able to figure out what Danika wants most? Will the desires of other players take priority? Or, will playing it change her, until she desires what it can give her?

A journey is always made up of many small steps, and this game has still only just begun.
