"Resonance//Dissonance" is a fantasy, grimdark, and drama web novel set in modern-day Poland. The protagonist, Lukas, is a 22-year-old bartender nicknamed "UnLucky Luke." Despite his rough exterior, he is a warm person, striving to provide others with what he himself lacked during his toughest times. However, when a bar fight leads him to discover a hidden magical world behind the veil of reality, his life takes a drastic turn.... more>>

As Lukas navigates this new world, he realizes that it is rife with prejudice and injustice, mirroring the reality he knows. He learns that the reality he has always known is merely a facade concealing a multitude of magical realms, each harboring their own dark secrets and dangers. These realms are interconnected, forming a network of horrors and wonders.

The powers Lukas awakens within himself are considered repulsive and despised by most denizens of the magical world. They become both his greatest curse and his strongest motivation. As he journeys through the world of magic and delves into the depths of his own being, Lukas experiences horror, pain, determination, and possibility. To survive in a world where magic, power, and influence reign supreme and he is considered insignificant, Lukas must find a way to come to terms with his powers and himself.

Hello, everyone! I'm a beginner writer. After five years of reading hundreds of novels, I've decided to give writing my own a try. Please note that all characters, events, and places mentioned here are fictional. I enjoy chaotic and dynamic storytelling, so that's what you can expect from my work.

I've started a Discord server as I've heard it helps, and I genuinely wish to hear your opinions and suggestions personally. If you'd like to support me, I have a PayPal and a Ko-fi page.

Two worlds, deeply entwined together spin through the endless void... one, slowly dying; the other vibrant and fairly sparking with life and energy. One steeped in the forgotten magics of ages past; the other locked in an endless struggle for mundane survival.... more>>

Elder gods and deities from nearby worlds and universes watch helplessly as two entire realities slowly begin to drift farther away, spiraling towards an unknown doom. A mighty hero, wise and bold is needed...

When the First Wizarding War ended, and Lord Voldemort chased out Dumbledore from Hogwarts, he became the undisputed leader of the Wizarding World, cementing his rule as the new Minister of Magic. Yet everyone in power knew the war was far from over; it was now waged behind closed curtains and under the table. Behind the veil of secrecy, those still loyal to Dumbledore continued to fight, waging guerilla-like warfare against him and his forces, drawing in other countries' wizards and witches, opposing Voldemort and his plans to dominate all magic. ... more>>

The Anguine family, home of pure-blood wizards, part of Voldemort's new Ministry of Magic, were often tasked with confronting the Order of the Phoenix, raising their reputation years by years. Born into the Anguine family, Conrad just came to age, ready to attend Hogwarts to start his studies. He was excited to go to a school he had heard about from his Father many times... yet times have changed. It is not like in the old days. But who knows? One day, the school may return to what it was before the Era of Darkness.

---- Author's Notes:

Dear Readers! I'd like to welcome you to my first foray into writing fanfic and into doing a book from a 1st Person Point of View. As to what to expect, let me give you more details so you won't be disappointed if it is not your cup of tea!

- An alternate timeline: Voldemort killed the Potters and Harry as a baby. He never lost his body, thus winning the 1st Wizarding War.
- Of course, a battle is still going on in the background, but that will only come later in the story.
- Being in an alternate timeline, the dates may be a little bit off, but the story will mostly play out in the same time frame as the original.
- Being an altered history, some main characters will not show up, and I mainly mean Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Or any of the Dumbledore supporting cast. (at least for a good portion of the story). For obvious reasons. If this is not what you want, please understand that I am going for a familiar yet different story than the original. I am taking inspiration from the original plot, but I am not planning mirroring it 1:1.
- Of the returning characters, some may have altered personalities, although I will try my best to remain true to their book counterpart. But I will also think up "what would they have done" scenarios and modify their personality to match the alternative world we are in. I hope you will still enjoy it; that is my goal. To entertain you.
- There is no transmigration, no isekai tropes, no reincarnation, no knowledge of in-lore events, none of that. The main character is someone who is born in-universe.

Lastly, the story should be able to maintain my plan of 3 chapters per week. (I plan to post mostly on the weekends). I will take this slowly, focusing more on slice-of-life elements, exploring, and learning magic. Coming to age. Things like that. Thank you for reading so far down on my description, and I hope we are going to have a great, fun time together! <<less

If you think about it, like, actually think about it; transmigration isn't exactly a walk in a park kind of deal isn't it? Transmigrators have to keep worrying about every little plot that comes knocking at the door, worry about their survival daily, and crying every night missing the convenience of the modern life when being faced with the truth where fantasy don't live up to reality.... more>>

So here's our main character, punted into that very same scenario where she can't even tell what's going on due to dropping the story at her earliest convenience to avoid further plot rage. Now possessing the body of one of the earliest villainess, scheduled to die a year after the heroine makes her grand entrance, she starts to. . .

Do nothing?? Wait, why aren't you doing anything? You're going to let the knife plunge without stopping it??? Hey, stop, that's not the right script! <<less

Synopsis: The year 506 a.d. marked the 15th year of the second magical school in the world, Toadwits. Charlotte was one of it's older students and because of her special relationship with the founders she received a few special privileges, but none of her classmates would want to trade positions with her, as she was known for her inability to cast magic. To add to that, her red eyes and pale skin led many to believe that she was related to some dark creature, making her an outcast in school. See the world through her eyes as she struggles to find her place in a society full of prejudice.... more>>

What to expect:
Slice of Life story in a magical setting.

Romance and Drama.

Character development.

Slow to medium pacing.

Wide range of different characters.

First person point of view.

Scaterbrained MC.

What not to expect:
Fancy fighting scenes every five or ten chapters.

Extensive Magic science beyond what is necessary.

Harem.

Murderhobos.

Author note: I started to write the story as an experiment to test two things. Writing from the first point of view and writing from the perspective of a woman. In the end, I got carried away because it was so much fun to write and i thought that maybe someone might have just as much fun reading the story, so i decided to upload it.

The story itself is heavily influenced by British folklore like King Arthur, Harry Potter, Roman History, Church History, the neverending story, and a few others but as far as I'm aware there should be no copyright or trademark issues. Still, most might see some parallels because when I started to write the story it was meant to be an exercise. Still, the story plays in a completely independent universe and is not related to any existing story. <<less

Leon was just about to start his new life. Finally, he got everything on track, and he got himself a place in the late 22nd century; his life was ended. His bad luck did not end there as he was pushed off the Rainbow Road of Reincarnation, ending up in a totally different world. A new body, a new life, but his original brain. He may have been angry before, but this was a new opportunity. A new lease on life, and this time, it would not be wasted with toiling away for others just to get a shot at a normal life. This time, it was time to build up his own place with... more>> his own rules!

---- Author's notes:

Hey-ho! This is going to be a pleasure weekend project for me! I ain't planning to introduce world-changing, thought-provoking thoughts here. It is all for the plain and simple reason of having some fun! What you need to be aware of:

- Yes, this is an isekai story. No, there are no cheats or systems involved. He is just a guy reincarnating with a gene-modified brain, so it explains why he can remember things and be smart. That is it.
- The story mostly focuses on kingdom-building stuff and slice-of-life elements, not on conquest or curb stomping others. The main conflict will be centered around wars, yes, but it won't be one guy vs. the world or something like that.
- The MC's main goal is to enjoy himself. This also means girls. So there will be a harem. Those who are familiar with my works, how I do groups, and how my characters act will know I don't like doing cardboard cutouts of characters. Most of my stories have more than one character accompanying the MC. The same will be true here, with the only exception that they will also be involved romantically with the MC.
- The story plays out in a 1st person POV. There won't be jumping around multiple POVs; I don't like that.
- Don't take this story seriously nor look for scientifically 100% real and codex-like solutions for problems. This is a fantasy world, a totally different culture, and with history that is NOT OUR world! There is magic here and the MC has a supercomputer for a brain. I think that says it all. My main goal is to enjoy writing some whacky but real-sounding scenarios. They will be based upon feasible ideas, but I am not writing a damned textbook about thermodynamics. Laws will be bent and broken when the story needs it.
- Regarding smut, there are some chapters with erotic scenes, but not every other chapter. So expect it when the mood is there in the story and not because I must cram as much snu-snu in as possible... That won't happen. <<less

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. ... more>>

Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead.

Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces.

“You’re not who I thought you were.”

“I despise you, Sister.”

“It’s revolting to even look at you.”

Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win.

No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them?

This is the story of a teenage girl, Cassie Smith, who, after her death, was recruited into Universal Mercenary Company. Something akin to a ‘Rent A Hero Service’, this mercenary company is one which offers its services to deities, devils, and essentially anyone who can afford their service fee.... more>>

To put it simply, they commit the acts which the gods or devils can’t do themselves. Stopping apocalypses, getting rid of universal troublemakers, killing extremely overpowered, non-affiliated of course, demi-gods, etc. Sometimes, they are even tasked with ensuring that a planet doesn't fall apart; naturally, to them though, it is just another job. If the paycheck is big enough, anything is possible.

This story is about how Cassie goes about coming to terms with her new job, serving as a supernatural mercenary for the first time to be exact. With only a few select objectives assigned to her, she was launched into this fantasy like world with 10 years of training, an assistant A.I., a high potential in Shadow Magic, and an itchy trigger finger.

This is the story of this mercenary’s first time in another world. <<less

When I recovered my memories, it was almost too late. Becoming a sacrifice for a void cause was definitely not among my first options upon remembering my past life. And this shonen manga was a lot happier and idealistic back then when I read it than it is now that I'm trapped here. As an extra no less. Why is everyone, hero or villain alike, so much of a pain? Give me back my stock-shonen manga! Give me back my freedom to remain as humanly away from the plot as I can!... more>>

What do you mean I changed the plotline and now I have to fix it? If the world needs protecting then leave it to the hero party, they saved everyone once, surely they can do it again without my help? No?

Tsk, alright, but only because if the world dies I will die as well. Definitely not because I want to become a main character or anything. I'm fine being an insignificant character so don't give me that look!

Who wants to become a stock-shonen protagonist anyway? Definitely not me!
