The world is brought to ruins with the sudden emergence of supernatural beings and trials to destroy humanity as a whole, for their corrupted pleasure. ... more>>

Luna, a normal high school girl with a peculiar past, strives to survive in the harsh reality as a mysterious voice and memories of a war unknown guide her.

Through the sorrows she faces and faced with the bitter truth about her parents, she aims to end these trials plaguing humanity and find clues about the voice.

"The only hope eh?" muttered a woman with short white hair, as she sat leaning against a wall painted with blood.
The lance sticking through her stood tall and proud. It irritated her.

She looked at her broken arm and then at the piles of corpses of short green creatures with pointy ears and noses.

She chuckled at the irony. She was told she was the only hope and yet here she was, dying to a mere thousand goblins.

Her ears perked as she heard footsteps. Through the musty tunnel across her came a hooded man.
He was tall, and had a long beard, the only part of his face she could see.
He had bandages wrapped around his hands and was covered in piles of cloth armor.
He had a large bow in his hand, but he didn't have an arrow in sight.

She once again chuckled at the appearance of the strange man as her painful grunts grew quieter and quieter and to silence.

Sacrificed as a child along with her family by demonic cultists, Reimia lives out a cycle of tragedy, survival, and revenge.... more>>

On her path to revenge, Rei fails over and over, dying to then be reborn in different times and places, gaining allies and advantages with each cycle... Only to lose them to the cruelty of time. Because all things die... Except her and the man who started it all.

-------------------------------------------------------------

- What to expect:
- Shadowbane is a long story about revenge.
- Reimia is very weak at the start.
- First person POV. I know some people don't like this, so here is your warning.
- Long chapters. Average 4-6k words, with some being close to 7k.
- New writer, figuring it out as I go. Hopefully I'm able to entertain you! <<less

Death and Reincarnation.... more>>

Kuroe Makoto, the tomboyish ace of her high school track and field club, never spared a thought for these things before. However, when she falls asleep in her Tokyo home after an exhausting marathon and wakes up in a fantasy world, those concepts become her reality. And unlike in the common light novel setting, she isn't reincarnated as the naturally good-looking and talented human hero who gathers a harem effortlessly.

In fact, she isn't reincarnated as a human at all. She is reborn as 'Chaos', child of the demon queen and heir to a kingdom at war with humanity.

Maou Shoujo Magical Chaos puts the Japanese high school girl in a tentacle monster, in this strange tale of a sound human mind possessing a horrifying creature's body. Join Chaos on her oftentimes humorous but also perilous journey through a world of sword and sorcery, as she discovers a newfound appetite for life, terror, and demi-human girls.

What use is omnipotence if you are alone?... more>>

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.

Follow Aleph's search for redemption, forgiveness, and humanity as he staves off the darkness. Will the lessons from his previous life help him in this one, or will the darkness prove too much to bear? Find out in God of Nothing.

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.

"Six severed Wills, their blessing now a curse.
"Six mighty rulers, in conflict they traverse.
"Six weeping armaments, blood they doth embrace.
"And when six converge as one, a Mother's lostward wish shall finally take place."... more>>

The land is fractured. The people are divided. Humanity's creator has perished long ago; now, they are doomed to stagnate under the celestial expanse, nations waging war on each other in a desperate attempt to hold dominion over what little authority remains.

Yet, not all is forsaken. A Comet has been birthed by the earth and sky. Their descent brings forth a rare boon long thought lost to the ravages of despair: hope. And so the forces of the world begin to move in earnest, bewitched by the promise of a brighter morrow.

One is a winged King, their Will confined to the gilded cage that is duty.

One is a malicious Corvid, gaze transfixed to the horizon whispering of conquest.

And one is a nameless Knight. Forgotten. Slumbering. Ready to fulfill its purpose.

Six Wills. Six rulers. Six armaments.

When six converge as one, humanity shall finally reach out to the Stars.

This is a rewrite of an already completed novel that finished running in December of 2023. It is not on Scribblehub, rather a website called RoyalRoad under the name of Aegis: The First Attempt. If you want to peruse it while waiting for the new chapters to come out, please feel free, but I first began writing it while very inexperienced with prose, grammar, and pacing in general. Thus, the quality of it isn't as polished as I would prefer it to be, so I'm doing a full rewrite to really bring this world of mine the love and care it deserves.

Updates: Wednesday and Sunday

Trapped, entombed, and struggling.... more>>

The last time humanity had seen the natural white light of the sun was a few millennia ago. Left with no other choice but to adapt, countless sacrifices paved the path to survival. Their new lives were filled with daily tests and tribulations. The word 'humanity' had lost meaning a long time ago.

Trials were placed before them, trials that they must overcome to gain the bare necessities for survival. If they want food and water, they need to solve the puzzle. If they want to gain weapons to fight back against the lingering monstrosities inside, they must complete the trial awaiting them. If they want to escape, they need to keep moving forward. Unfortunately for humanity, they weren't here alone. <<less

"How endlessly dull."... more>>

Noah and his friends are transported to another world in a severely flawed summoning ritual, and are consequently significantly weaker than what they should have been.

And yet, they defy all odds, and still manage to seemingly defeat all demons and find themselves confronting the Demon Lord.

They are less than fleas before him.

With deep psychological scars, they are replaced by heroes far surpassing the historical standard, exiled and left to rot.

But they refuse.

Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

But Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them all.

Every great story needs an author.... more>>

Samuel Bragg was a fairly ordinary human. He lived in a simple home, and he did simple work. Born in a fishing village on the coast, he experienced a good life. But he wanted more. So when his chance came, he leapt for it, not knowing just how much more he was about to get. With a fallen god calling to him in his dreams, and the hint of an unnatural, dark plot forming in the distance, he soon learns that the extraordinary comes with a steep cost.

The story of the legendary traveler, the all-knowing servant of the God of Knowledge, the greatest author, cartographer, and collector of magicks; the story of Samuel Bragg, is a truly extraordinary tale. But it all starts with a normal man, in a normal home, in a normal village, with a normal job.

Note: This story is a re-write of my previous trilogy (Tome of the Body, Tome of the Mind, Tome of the Soul) and will also be available on RoyalRoad and Reddit. <<less

'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

Release Schedule: Mondays to Fridays. I'm still experimenting on time. Next week will be 7 PM UTC+8.

What to Expect:

- Light LitRPG elements.

- Progression fantasy. No instant overpowered MCs with murderhobo tendencies. Bram has to work hard to grow.

- Clever schemes, fast-paced action, and in-depth character development.

- Elaborate world-building elements with a sprawling world thoroughly mapped out.

- A tale that seamlessly jumps between high fantasy adventures, game development hijinks, and kingdom-building shenanigans.

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!

Blast magic? Arsenal? Crazy magical world!

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