What happens when humanity's greatest weapon gets a second chance at life? Commander Kronos wasn't even considered to be a human but rather a weapon to be used for the greater good of his species. He was grown in a tube to be the perfect weapon, so he lacked many emotions/experiences most people take for granted. Upon experiencing some emotions for the first time he was quickly eliminated by humanity and was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery, getting a second lease on life.... more>>

Of course, he didn't see it that way at the start and thought he was being fooled. It took a near-death experience and a lot of growing up, but he finally decided to keep his promise to his former comrades and give his new life an honest try.

Embark on the story of the former Commander of Hades Squad as he settles into his new life as the Dark Elf Kaladin Shadowheart.

Power?

Wealth?

Immortality?

His personality is twisted as it can be. One moment he beheaded someone next his smiling with blood all over him.

Why I am telling you this?

What is this all about?

Hahaha, you’ve done well to listen to me up until this point.

Let me tell you a story of a boy named Reiki.

Like any other name, it’s plain and simple but to others this name was special. To some, he was their Lover, Enemy, and Savior.

This is not a story about him being a saint and helping the entire world achieve world peace nor a story about him being a devil killing everything in sight like you he was only human.

But you don’t want to hear the story like this no let me start over.

One day Reiki killed his best friend for selling him out and on this day he tried to commit suicide. <<less

Suffering the machinations of family, Remus is sent to the newly built border city of Greltheaven. A place filled with opportunities but also dangers.... more>>

If it had been up to him, he would have stayed in the safety of the empire, slowly building his business as he had planned, but he did not have a choice, either go to the dangerous city or live a mediocre life.

Which he is not willing to do.

Swearing revenge, he packed his bags and moved to Greltheaven, a city of great dangers and fortune.

...

A brothel is not an easy business to run, much less get success, but since fate had so kindly decreed it upon him, he will not only run the brothel but will make it immensely successful.

He had plans, big plans for it; he only hoped the city would remain standing long enough to turn his small business into an empire.

This is a story I've decided to write because my endless fantasies of chuunibyou like proportions could not stay in my head any longer. I've just wanted to make a story I can make some cringe jokes in and this is the result. I really do hope people will enjoy it as I really do enjoy writing it, and will keep writing it. If you can catch some of the references I would love to hear it. Love and Peace! Just not in this story. If any of the tags currently don't make sense they are for later down the line so I don't have to add them later.

Jadis has no idea how she died. One minute she's living her life as a young college student in Pennsylvania, the next she's hurtling through the unimaginable, incomprehensible void of the space between realities as a lost and detached soul. Luckily for her, the bored, and slightly deranged, god D finds her soul before it is mulched by the incomprehensible cosmos. After offering her a cookie to calm down from her existential nightmare, he explains that not only are gods and their respective afterlives real, but her disbelief in gods while living also means she doesn’t qualify to enter any god’s afterlife upon death. However, since D is in the mood for some mischief, he... more>> strikes a deal with her. Life in a fantasy world with RPG elements, along with a body built to match Jadis' slightly perverted wishes. Additionally, she gets a guaranteed spot in his afterlife. All that for the low price of spicing up the stagnant cyclical nature of a never-ending war between two stubborn gods and their respective followers on said magic-filled world. What disembodied soul could turn down an offer like that?

Except, once Jadis takes the deal, she finds that she has been transported to the middle of nowhere and the lazy jerk of a god forgot to check if any of his followers were around to greet Jadis. Now freshly reincarnated as a Nephilim, Jadis is all alone and all but naked in an abandoned dwarven village located firmly in demon infested territory. Not planning on dying again anytime soon, she is forced to take the only non-perverted class option given to her and unexpectedly receives a second body for it. How is Jadis going to explain that when she gets back to civilization? From there, the now pluralized Jadis tries to survive long enough to understand her new system and skills, looking forward to the day she finds civilization, hot baths, and hotter elves.

A young woman from Earth wakes up in a cave, disoriented, confused, amnesic and with her lower body replaced by that of a giant spider. She has no idea what she stumbled into and all the extra sensations were definitely not helping. "Did I get reincarnated into a fantasy world?" She's not quite sure. But, the goblin, the troll and (soon enough) the hot elf all suggest "yes."... more>>

As much as it creeps her out, her new body is powerful and flexible in some very interesting 'spidery' ways as she slowly learns to live with it. Combined with what modern knowledge she can still remember, the newly christened Elania soon finds herself building a new life as an adventurer among the elves.

Who knows what awaits her?

Maybe, just maybe, she might even find happiness along the way.

A 27-year-old American named Ryan was doing his usual morning run through a forest in the United States Midwest when he was attacked by a magical orb that transported him to another world. While in this other World, he finds himself captured by a tribe of Dark Elves that summoned him and another human. This other guy that was captured with Ryan, is a Japanese teen who goes by the name Hiro.
Unfortunately for Ryan, Hiro is a delusional edgy otaku who believes he's the Main Character and thinks he can get away with anything.
This just adds more of an obstacle for Ryan to overcome. And he's worried about what the Dark Elves are... more>> planning to do with them as they force them to kill monsters. Causing their bodies to absorb mana.
At some point the Dark Elves get attacked by a holy group known as the Divine Three, who are trying to rid the world of all subspecies, try to murder him. Ryan barely escaped with his life only for him to get chased by goblins into a Labyrinth. And worst of all, the mana from all the humans and monsters he had slayed has been affecting his body in weird ways as he begins to transform into a Dark (Female?!?) Elf with the extremely rare ability to heal anything.

Volume 2:

After surviving the events in the Tomb of the Horde. Rya (Ryan) and her new friends (Quinus, Dalia, Percy, and Sir George) make it to the old Dwarven City of Ironside. There she gets a rude awakening about how much people fear Dark Elves. And worst of all, she can't fight her attraction towards Crown Prince Quinus. She needed to prove that she was still a man, at heart and went, by herself, to a brothel. After failing to achieve what she was hoping for a Mercenary group who goes by the name "Black Roses" collared her with a rare and powerful slave collar. They plan to use her Earth Magic to kill the Dwarves and take over the city.
Lucky Quinus finds out that Rya was captured and raises an army with Baron Zellin Coldforge to free Rya and stop the Mercenary group who are in league with his Uncle.

Volume 0 (technically it was my third volume but it's a prequel):

A 30-year-old German, Emil, was rock climbing with a friend in Greece. A storm came out of nowhere and he repelled off the end of his rope and everything went black.

Until he painfully squeezed out of his new mother. Now reborn as the only heir to the throne of Fiafyr. Prince Quinus must learn to adjust to this new fantasy world he's been born into. While his uncle (Duke Alaric Revelia) tries to plot his death so his son can be the only heir. He hires an assassin (Wina Daz) to infiltrate the palace as a wet nurse. But the fates decided to throw in a curve ball when the elixir that Wina ordered from an Alchemist (that was designed to make her lactate) wasn't fully complete. And since she was up against the clock, she took it away. Causing not only making her slender body become voluptuous but also healing her womanhood. That was mutilated as part of her assassin's training. She finds herself falling for one of the strongest knights in all of Fiafyr and starts to grow a conscience. Can she complete her mission or will she be hunted by the Assassin's Society for betraying her client? <<less

Alexander King loves the idea of an isekai just as much as the next person. Reading about someone who was plucked out of our world and thrown into a world full of magic and danger and watching them struggle to make sense of the chaos around them as they rise to power.... more>>

But those things are just supposed to stay as stories, they weren't meant to happen to him. Reality was never as forgiving as fiction and he had no doubt that if he ended up in one of these worlds he'd more than likely die some sad pathetic death, nor did he particularly have a desire to leave his family and friends. So naturally, with his luck, he wakes up God-knows-where with a system status in front of his eyes only to almost instantly die too the hostile environment around him.

Alex is definitely going to find his way back... If he can avoid being killed by the godlike beings that happen to just be everywhere on this world first.

I guess I should throw this out there and it's probably important that I should do so to clearly state my intentions with this story. This is not going to be a happy-go-lucky story all the way through. It will start relatively upbeat, but there are going to be dark parts. There's going to be things that are hard to stomach, things that will make you uncomfortable. If that's not something you like, that's fine. Not every story is for everyone, maybe this one won't be for you.

To allay some questions this story is not designed to be a torture porn sort of fic. But that doesn't mean I will shy away from talking about characters being tortured or abused. I also won't skip through those portions of the story in an attempt to get them done more quickly. These things need to run their course in order for the importance of the circumstances to fully be imparted into the story. If you as a reader need to skip over these moments, that's perfectly fine. I do that myself in certain fics/shows when I start feeling uncomfortable. That's just a natural reaction. Anyway, I've gotten a couple of people who haven't been happy with it, and that's fine. I don't begrudge those people for disliking these parts of the story, I'm just putting this out there so that future readers come in knowing what to expect instead of being unfortunately blind-sided by my nearsightedness on the situation. I definitely should've had a warning up way earlier for people about this.
