Original Novel <<less

It was a freak accident. Someone ran the light at an intersection and before I knew it... my world turned black. But I didn't die then. Instead, I was forced to lament and regret over all of my failures. Lament about how this so-called genius was lower than dirt even at the very end.... more>>

And that should have been it. After my consciousness faded, I should have disappeared.

But I woke up.

A different world, another life. A fresh start.
This time, for sure...!

My bad habit kicked in. I've been rereading and watching Mushoku Tensei recently and got the itch to write this. Kind of self-insert, but not really. Extremely self-indulgent though, so if things don't make too much sense... er, sorry in advance?

” Hmm, hmmm... Nope, this doesn't make any sense at all. What the hell is going on here??? ”

Why would a God need to personally meet you for reincarnation? Who do you think you are?

Why would a superior being patiently clarify what you don't understand, respond to your retarded questions, and console you? Because of guilt? When was the last time you felt guilty for stepping on an ant? Usually, you wouldn't even notice.

Or maybe boredom?

No! Life is not a game. There is no tutorial for beginners. Nobody will care what you do after that. If you want answers, you'll need to find them by yourself. That, if there are any answers...

The story follows our protagonist, suddenly thrown into a strange world with no warning, no preparations, and on top of that, unclear memories as to how or why that happened. Even worse, his body seemed to not be exactly how he remembered it... Or, was it her body now?

Nevertheless, her story did not end here. Who is to say that Death is our last path? For her, it was just the beginning. She had been given a second chance. Reborn as a Goddess in the very own world that she created, it was now only up to her to write her own story.

He wins by sheer luck despite being strong himself, yet he spares those he defeated just for them to come back stronger than before.

A woman dies in a rather embarrassing way, and is reborn into a shapeless void, as a god.

Now, after accidentally renaming herself "Snooze", she has become a Level One God, and must learn everything she can about how to control her new abilities--including Creation Management!

A silly stitch of fate, Snooze begins to grow more powerful as she combines elements, creates a world, and has to combat the flighty whims of her rosy-glowing archangel named Meat.

Abused and abandoned, Portia must fight in order to survive the new world she has found herself in.... more>>

Portia has lived a difficult life on Earth.
Born with a large birthmark covering her left eye, she is seen as 'imperfect' by her parents, unlike her sister Marigold, who can do no wrong.
Throughout her life, Portia has suffered tribulation after tribulation as she showed no talent in any subject she was tested for.
Her imperfections were only worsened by the environment that surrounded her:
Parents who demanded excellence; A sister who was wholly exceptional; and a society that mocked her efforts.
Every day is hellish when it seems that no matter how hard you try, it is ultimately meaningless.

One day, however, Portia and the rest of her class were suddenly transported to the world of Effigia.
Thinking this is a second chance for her, Portia looks upon the situation favourably.
Only to be cast away and sent to her death due to her lack of ability.

Left for dead Portia has nothing.
Her hopes of surviving are quickly destroyed when she is almost killed by a monster that appears from the surrounding forest.
Portia resigns herself to death as she loses against even the weakest of monsters: A slime

Only this encounter will not be her end; rather, it is just the beginning.

Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer.
But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games.
Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears.... more>>

But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world.

And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere.
Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation.

Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it.

Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia.

Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena.

Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire.

Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World.
