A quick note before the synopsis: This story is not written in the style of a novel. I've seen the style being compared to a DnD campaign so if that's not something you would enjoy reading, you probably will not like this story.... more>>

EDIT: As of Chapter 639, I changed the writing style. It's much closer to standard writing now. I'm not sure if I will go back and update all previous chapters to the new style. It would take a lot of time and I would rather spend that time writing new ones instead of changing old ones.

Also, I write this story for my friends to read and Scribble Hub is a convenient place for them to read it instead of me sending them the individual documents for every chapter. So, you can read it, or don't. It doesn't matter to me. As long as I enjoy writing it and my friends enjoy reading it, that's all that matters to me. This story was never originally going to see any kind of public release. Now for the synopsis.

BTS 1 Synopsis:
118 years ago, Earth was ravaged by a major war between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Now, a young man named Zeth, who has just discovered he has magic abilities, finds himself faced with helping Heaven to prevent another invasion of Earth by Hell. Zeth and his new friends must journey through the world, different dimensions, and the divine realm to put a stop to the threats that face the world and perhaps answer the biggest question of all, what caused the conflict between Heaven and Hell in the first place? This is a journey that must go beyond the stars!

BTS 2 synopsis down at the bottom.

***

Beyond The Stars is a story inspired by battle shonen mangas (as well as my enjoyment of romance) but is darker than shonen stories usually are. I began writing it in November 2014 and the story is still ongoing to this day. The story is fully planned out so nothing I add is done as I go. The only exception is the moment to moment parts of fights. Consider this story a "word manga" as I write this story like it would be an actual manga.

Also I love the use of foreshadowing so always keep an eye out for anything that looks like foreshadowing.

I do make use of Scribble Hub's Glossary feature where I will put the list of arcs (and chapter numbers in those arcs) as well as a list of characters and their descriptions. Currently, it only has characters that have been drawn but soon I'm going to take some time to add all of the characters.

BTS 2 Synopsis: (Chapter 575 and onward)

Following the defeat of the Dark Goddess and peace returning to Earth, the threat of the abyss begins to loom. Zeth, Sasha, and the other heroes must travel to other planets in the galaxy as well as the Divine World itself to find a way to stop it, or else lose the entire galaxy to the abyss. <<less

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Once a Saintess who believed she was cherish by all, loved by all. However, it was nothing but a farce, her own illusion she created to satisfy her own unrealistic dreams. What's more she was betrayed. Sentenced to death by burning on a stake! ... more>>

Regressed back to the time she was a princess, her heart had blackened and twisted and she vowed to have revenge on everyone who betrayed her and make them pay with blood.

This is the story of a villain mc so what every she does can be questionable sometimes. And the novel takes and dark and light turn at time.

An elegant princess? Nah Aurianna will fight like a maniac, kill, devour and destroy. Who needs to only fight with hands when you can use both hands and feet!

"Also what is this gun thing?"

Blast magic? Arsenal? Crazy magical world!

How would Aurianna who's the White Diamond bring ruin to her world.

All sixteen-year-old Alicia Crimsonmane wants is to become a mage, to follow in her mother's footsteps, and to be acknowledged once again by her esteemed wizarding kin.... more>>

So, Fate grants her wish. She is now The Child of Miracles, the wielder of the strongest essence in the world of thaumaturgy...

With the consequences her head is the most wanted bounty in the entire realm, and a burden to gather anomalies like herself to save the conflict-ridden magic world from impending doom.

But will she remain unwavering in her conviction, even if it means seeing her innocence clash with the harsh realities she is bound to encounter? Or discovering that her world stores ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶ far more treacherous truths she never imagines?

Because magic is not just flowers and fireworks after all...

===========================================

What to expect in this story:
What to expect in this story:
1. A slow, classic progressive fantasy narrative that focuses not only on the characters but also on the intricacies of magic, spells, and the individuals who practice them.

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

4. MC is "Scottish" (inspired) so expect some of the dialects and the foreign terms as part of the world-building. But along the way, the dialect will be reduced along with MC travelling outside her hometown. The translations for these terms will be provided in a dedicated glossary in the first entry. Feel free to share your feedback regarding any terms that may have been overlooked.

This is my first attempt at writing, please be gentle with it. I have very little idea where the story will go or how the characters will develop but goddamn it I will try my best to make it somewhat entertaining. Given the free writing style I use I am adding all three content warning, their will be strong language, their will be sex, and someone might get eaten. I am not 100% sure on the last one but I don't want to take any chances... more>>

"Clearance to summon one hero, only one! Did you think I would not notice?"
“O relax, it was an accident, besides one or 46 what's the real difference?”
46?... Does he not know about the other one? probably for the best, I can't even imagine what he would do with… whatever that thing he pulled into this world is. I am not sure what I am going to do with that… oh it's waking up.

X47 woke up in a void, alone. not sure what it was, or how it got there it was… quite content letting its mind wander through vast expanses of nothing, piecing together fragmented knowledge that resided inside itself. till one day came a cry, a cry that would shake the foundation of the world.
Follow X47 on its adventures in hopes to live a quiet peaceful life, key word quiet, along the way making friends, enemies, enemies that used to be friends, and friends that used to be enemies. or maybe it will just eat the entire population of souls and go to sleep. who knows, not X47, and definitely not the system moderator in charge of keeping the balance of this world. <<less

At the edges of the World of Vunreon lies the skeleton of a Dragon. A being once revered by many titels, such as God of Dragons, the first Dragon, Ruler of Space and Time and master of the Void, he was now nothing more than a imposing sight.
Though unbeknownst to his slayers, his soul that they shattered didn't fully die. Instead its countless shards dispersed across time and space, reincarnating each into a mortal coil. When their lives came to an end, they slowly joined back together.
After countless millennia, the last of these lives came to an end and thus his soul awoke once more.

I would do anything to heal my granddaughter, including selling my soul. So, when a woman professing herself to be a fallen goddess appears promising to offer that exact deal to me, I ultimately accept despite my misgivings.... more>>

The woman tells me I have accidentally re-discovered a special meditation technique known as "Key to the Void." A powerful meditation capable of opening the barrier that separates the world from the void and accessing power from outside the world. But, in death, it can even allow souls to pass into the void, and she wishes to escape this world and needs me to open the way for her.

However, when my soul reincarnates into the other world, I discover several things have gone wrong. Me and her were not the only souls to cross over. There were several other former humans who were reborn here. But, more disturbingly, it seems there is also an earth-born demon here. What's more, the fallen goddess who hitched a ride with me was reborn as my twin sister.

This is a hard reboot of my previous series, "Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess." You will notice some fairly big changes to this version right from the very beginning.

I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending.... more>>

Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden.

Someone every reader hated!

“I’m the protagonist’s sister…”

However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending!

“I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.”

...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way!

And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me.

[The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!]
[She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!]
[He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!]
[Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!]

There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around.

[The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!]
[He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.]
[She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!]
[She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!]

[The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!]
[He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!]

They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them.

“I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…”

What to Expect:
- Fast-paced Action and LitRPG Progression, Skill Copy and Fusion, Crafting, with Dungeon and Other Worlds Exploration.
- Constellations based on all sorts of both Historical and Mythological figures.
- A colorful cast of side characters full of life, the original Protagonist changes and becomes a better person.
- A smart MC that abuses her knowledge of the story to become REALLY OP.
- A story that doesn't go by the script, the butterfly effect the character creates affects the story and doesn't leave it as it was supposed to be, unlike many other similar stories.
- Solo Player is of my own creation, and this novel is NOT a fanfic.

My Grammar is not the best, and I am not a native english speaker, so I'm doing my best to improve. I would appreciate anybody pointing out the mistakes.

When his father is killed, Elwin has two choices: One, to live the life of a nobody at a small inn, cowering from the world that’s out to get him, or Two, avenge his father, and free himself from the clutches of fate.

Blamed for the murder of 13,000 lives committed by his father, neither choice is easy for Elwin. Both require sacrifice.

The first choice, while guaranteeing safety, will forever rob him of his ability to dream – it will make him an ant among thousands, dooming him to work as a waiter-boy until he draws his last breath as an old janitor in some dingy cupboard.

The second choice is sure to rob him of his life at the hands of his father's killers, but he has a chance to reforge his own destiny, even if short. Like the Icarus of your world to the Sun, he will fly – but only briefly.

And in the midst of his conundrum, he receives two guests shrouded in secrecy, accompanying with them a mysterious connection to his father’s work.

They offer him a glimpse of a dream beyond his wildest imaginations:

To become a new Sun, instead.

Follow Elwin as he grows up from a little boy to a young teenager, throwing himself into an epic quest to absolve his name and regain his heart. Chosen by a mysterious benefactor and cast into an eminent academy where every peer is superior to him, he must reforge his reputation and prove that he is just as worthy, and just as capable of being loved, as anyone else.

Chapter by chapter, he will learn to control the elements of the world, and in time, even the atoms themselves, eventually wresting control over the very quills by which the cosmos is written. He will forge new friendships amidst the fires and blood of battle, amidst joyous celebrations, and amidst the sky-ringing sendoffs for his fallen allies; they will together become legends with Elwin as their paragon, all for a chance to rewrite their destinies. Every step that he takes will bring him further and further to enshrining his place and legacy in the tapestry of time.

The only question is – how far can he go?

Especially in the face of creatures that devour the Sun?

They say every hero needs a villain. In the world of Strarth, the Goddess of Heroes Afa certainly thinks so. Unfortunately she doesn't have either nor is she allowed to bring any to the world of Strarth. Fortunately for her all her superiors are currently asleep and won't be waking up for a couple decades. What's more another strange entity who has the ability to grant her wishes offers her a deal she just can't refuse!... more>>

The deal is simple, the strange entity brings to the world of Strarth someone who Afa can mold into a villain and then Afa can summon a few hand picked heroes from this backwards planet called earth. What's not to love?

This is where Bryson Colin Coldwater comes in. Falling from the sky on a cold rainy night an infant Bryson is found in the garden of the Coldwaters. A noble elitist group that is known to rule their land with fear. Throughout Bryson's life his family call him the chosen one, and that their family has been chosen above all others. A perfect upbringing to bring up a egotistical villain.

Unfortunately, for Afa, and fortunately for Bryson, he does not quite develop in the way she wanted him to. Over the course of Bryson's life, he will be in countless different scenarios and situations that are made to turn him into a villain that will be defeated by the heroes in the future. Bryson will unknowingly resolve these conflicts in any other outcome but the one Afa wants.

In this strange game of chess, watch as the world of Strarth's most terrible evil villain faces of against his destiny. <<less

Aleph had slain the demon God, but not
before his world was destroyed. Such an amazing feat paved the way to his apotheosis, but his heart had long since died. He spent the following millenia grieving the loss of his dear comrades, creating a monument to their heroism.

This earned him the sympathy of the Overgod. He was given the chance to start over in a different world, to live out the rest of his days in peace.

Now Aleph walks a new world, one with fantastic beasts and new powers he had never heard of. He had resolved to live a quiet life, but when rumblings of a demon lord reached his ears, old wounds started to reopen, and scars he had long forgotten began to ache. Thus begins his crusade, his human heart beating once again.

The world as we know it, is Objective. But what if it wasn't? What if one could collapse the state of the world to whatever they wished. Make their own rules—a world made up not of atoms but anything one's imagination could justify—rhythm, lines, heat, colors, patterns, karma, entropy—anything!

So when Objectivity shattered, Vern, the sole witness to the macabre secrets behind the planetwide genocide, must teach himself to see the world Subjectively as he maneuvers the politically unstable city of Elmhurst. He must grow strong enough to fight back when the time runs out—his own, and the world's.

For, secrets are secrets for a reason. And some do not wish to see them uncovered.

What to expect:

- Completely original 'magic' that can be hard (scientific) or soft (mystical), depending on the user.

- Reverse Engineering of magic system and its concepts.

- Competence Porn (Most characters of importance won't be stupid).

- Somewhat of a slow-burn, but rewarding (mind-bending) progression and character/world-building.

- Victorian Era, Steampunk, Lovecraft themes (subtle).

- Short sections of non MC POV, but around 80-90% will be MC pov in the long run.

- Inspired by Bloodborne, Lord of The Mysteries.
