"What do you mean you're immortal?!"

It's said that a good cultivation story ends with the main character gaining immortality. Well, I say that that's boring, we all know the main character is going to survive everything, it's just a matter of how. Instead, why not start where most stories end? Well, I can't say that being weak isn't captivating in its own way; let's start there. Hated by the heavens, as is the cliche standard, what else... Broken engagement? Worry not, felines don't have to deal with the hassle of engagements nor the shame of a broken one.

What should an immortal cat do with his life? Simply finding fish to eat is hard enough, and now he's got to push past the limitations the heavens cursed him with? Well, what's a death or two to a cat that wants his fish, especially if it's a cat with more than nine lives. Eating tasty fish is the most important thing in the world after all. And he's got all the time in the world to find the best fish of them all.

(Author's info/comments about the subject) First off, I write whenever I have time and am not dealing with my numerous health issues, so... I write kinda slowly and sporadically. I'm sorry about that, I wish I could change it, but... I ain't got a magic wand. If I did, I would make myself healthy - well, no, I guess the first thing I'd do is make more magic wands, but assuming the standard rules for wishes - wait, this isn't something for the description of a novel. I'll end this tangent here, but I'm keeping it in because it might be funny to some people, and I'm not sure what to replace it with.

Put under Fantasy, might be more like Xianxia, but I wanted to be safe, as I'm not too familiar with the genres. Always looking for suggestions of tags I've missed. Some of the other tags won't play a role until later. <<less

Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. ... more>>

Volume 1: Prologue to Adventure is now out on Amazon in Ebook and Audiobook!

Amazon Summary:

An intelligent young man embarks on an epic journey through a virtual world in the first volume of this near-future fantasy/adventure series.

Declan has never cared much for VRMMO games. No matter how many times his best friend, Matt, has urged him to get into the latest craze and escape the monotony of their broken-down reality, he always finds something about the build or the engine that drives him crazy. But when an AI hacks into his Somatic Implant and invites him into a secret virtual world, he can’t resist the chance to explore.

The lush, post-apocalyptic landscape of Gaia is unlike any simulation Declan has ever encountered, and it’s only the gateway to the even grander and more realistic world known as Indiri. Soon, Declan and Matt are going on wild quests as their avatars—Dustin the Magic Myconid and Noam the Tiefling Bard—navigating a world of travelers and fighters to make their way to Indiri’s high-fantasy lands.

But Declan’s journey isn’t always smooth. And as he encounters digital gods, dangerous guilds, and powerful forces attempting to use him as a pawn, he must learn to forge his own path . . . or risk becoming an NPC in his own life.

Prologue to Adventure is an explosive start to an intricately plotted fantasy series filled with heart-pounding adventure and enchanting characters

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand? Well they say Stands are a reflection of the shape of your soul given physical form. Like a persona, or a caricature of the User. Well Jordan's soul just so happens to take the shape of a demonic doll ghost that can do blood magic, of all things. Combined with these powers, JoJo and RoseGold go on a journey of self reflection that takes the shape of your typical Shonen. But this time with girls love and transfemme elements. This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly. All accompanied with mysteries, lies, and several high octane fight scenes. Ora Ora~!

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.

=====

In an alternate Earth where humans have the heads of animals, and where the animals aren’t always what they seem, the Firebird rules myth and legend. Said to have divine power, it appears every millennium to grant the wishes of a select few. A young woman discovers that she's among them, but there are two problems: She doesn’t remember ever seeing the Firebird, and she definitely doesn’t remember wishing for immortality!

Ignoring her thrill-seeking nature, she's decided that her only way forward is to get a degree. But after being attacked, she finds herself in a magical bond with a violent monster- one who's taken a keen interest in her ability. Now her only chance of getting her normal life back is to work with him and a group of newfound allies. She must dive into the space between life and death to uncover the Firebird's secrets, along with a few things about herself, too.

But her attacker is still on the loose, and the task is more dangerous than anyone realizes... <<less

Janurana had barely survived her royal house's destruction at the hands of foreign invaders, surviving day by day in the scattered pocket forests and arid shrub lands, constantly escaping the ghosts of her past.

The leaders of the south cannot afford another obstacle.

And Janurana is just that.

Yet her chance meeting with a woman expelled from the warrior class named Dhanur gives them both a chance to avenge the ones they loved, finish what they failed to do, and return to a normal life.

Sixteen-year-old Thenio Iterune has a simple plan for his life: Work hard. Do well in school. Become a qualified wizard. Earn a good living. And maybe even make his parents proud of him someday.... more>>

Unfortunately, the plan isn't going too well....

Thenio's magic power is becoming increasingly difficult to control, which leads to a series of accidents that are about to cost him his hard-earned spot at the Kafron Royal Academy of Magic. And things don't get any better when he finally discovers the source of his problems: He has an extremely rare and unstable magic affinity. And it's going to do more than just get him expelled. It's probably going to get him killed.

Before he knows it, Thenio has gone from diligent student to disabled dropout. And forget about career plans...he'll be lucky if he even lives long enough to need a job in the first place.

Enter Iggy, a tiny black dragon who loves chasing birds and has a remarkable nose for magic. He takes an immediate liking to the scent of Thenio's unique magic and convinces his wizard partner, Ariom, to help find a way to stabilize it.

Are a genius enchanter and his slightly crazy dragon familiar enough to keep a chronically explosive boy alive? Maybe. But that's before demons get added into the mix....

Synopsis:

"What would you do if you suddenly died, and yet... you didn't?"

Elinor is just a sixteen-year-old goth going through some abnormal teenage drama; forced onto a humanitarian aid mission to Venezuela by her parents and grounded, much to her displeasure, this rebellious teenage girl is understandably pissed. The jungle sucks, the bus has no air conditioning, and great, if that's not enough, she's kidnapped! How much worse could it get?

How much worse? Well, how about dying? That's worse. Is she even herself anymore? Irrelevant at the moment. Getting introduced to a not-so-informative System of Undeath? Better. A mysterious golden twin? Okay, maybe we could do without the extra fat. Name her Butter? Seems to fit. Now, alien toad people are attacking and kidnapping her parents. Yeah, things could be better.

Elinor must learn about this new system of undeath, level up, and take back control of her life. Hopefully, she won't get stuck in the alien's world and have to build up an empire to survive. Surely that won't happen... Surely not! Oh, please, don't trap her in an alien world! System Message:

How is UE connected to TO or ATM?

ATM is part of a whole different multiverse (it can still have crossovers but much harder in-verse). Although starting at the same place, UE is set farther from the center of the Maelstrom (a collection of multiverses) of The Oscillation series, so gods can be more powerful here than in TO. UE is connected to my TOverse through the crystal gateways that Elinor encounters here on Earth.
UE follows Elinor as she tries to survive in the chaotic world by building an empire and has to figure out plots that are happening around her, but mostly about the survival of her empire and family with the insane alien threats of these other worlds. TO is mostly happening on Earth and is at the center of the dimensional Maelstrom (more on that will be revealed in time).

Due to the chaos going on, there are rules that limit the power of gods, and what they can do, where UE focuses on the outer zone conflicts, TO focuses on the inner zone conflicts, with mythological, legendary, and godly figures throughout history empowering them and trying to gain their favor.

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.

"Revolution is the people's will for a better tomorrow."... more>>

When the Animus crawled out from underneath Earth's crust, brave souls were granted godlike powers to fight them. Custodians: idols, soldiers, heroes, legends. Revered by the masses, shunned by the few, and conscripted to be the defenders of humanity against the Animus in an endless conflict. A life of misery, despair, loneliness, and heartache; such is the inexorable fate of a Custodian.

Elysia Hayes tries not to be discontent with her lot in life, but that's difficult when she's still reeling from the Animus Invasion that saw fit to ruin her. Now six months later, her family is shattered, her best friend won't give her the time of the day, and every day is a struggle to survive. The mundanity of her life is a disease. However, salvation comes in the form of a rogue Custodian skulking in an alleyway while carrying a missile launcher. What starts off as a desire to help someone quickly spirals out of control, and Elysia finds herself plunged into a completely different world. A decades-old conspiracy, grudges that run deep, and visitors from beyond the stars make the Animus the least of her worries.

Elysia thought that being a Custodian meant basking in the public's adoration and vanquishing evil, but she soon learns that evil comes in all different shapes and sizes. And sometimes, in order to cleanse the world, you have to get your hands dirty. Elysia wanted to be a hero, but first and foremost, she wanted to save people. Those two wishes aren't able to coexist.
