Before enrollment in magic academy, a young mage must purchase or acquire a familiar to provide protection, assistance, and companionship.
The rich are able to afford such beasts as dragons, griffons, feathered serpents, and more.... more>>

Isak is not rich.

Isak’s parents got him a rock.

“It will work or your money back!” the local mad mage said when he sold it to his mother. And while the young human from the Western Wastes was still coming to terms with that new reality he was on his way to Black Reef Institute for his first year of learning everything a young mage could need to become a mage of legend!

Vital rituals! Astronomy! A wide variety of spells! Survival in a hostile land! Potions! Bonding with your familiar to take full advantage of their unique abilities!

A familiar that was, once again, a rock.

But as Isak soon discovers that rock is so much more than any could have dreamed of, he’ll need the help of his newfound friends to discover the rock’s untold secrets and still have time for that brutal test on Core Spells!

AUTHOR NOTE;

Hi, this is a story that for me, is used to relax and enjoy myself. This is something for me to fill my time while I’m on hiatus from writing a novel I have been working on for a while. I plan to do at least 1 chapter a week although this is dependant on time, it could be more, it could be less. I am currently working 2 jobs, unfortunately for me. Cost of living in Australia is getting up there and If I’m ever to own a house, as a young Australian. I have to be working… a lot. This novel is for me to keep my creativity flowing and to keep my brain active. Ultimately I just want to have fun with this story while simultaneously sharing something I’m knowledgable about to the world, plants. That’s about the only thing Frey and I share in common, our obsession with plants. If you end up coming along for the Journey. Thank you, it means a lot. <<less

It has been an age of peace between the Holy Paladin Order and the Mage Alliance, nearly five hundred years since the last major war on Contenmere, smallest continent on the world of Reath. But the peace remains an uneasy one even now.... more>>

When the Lord Protector Lutan pursues an old grudge and an entire village winds up dead as a consequence, it looks like a return to open warfare is inevitable unless he can stop the necromancer he’s hunting from reaching the safety of his own people, however, this is not his story.

. . . Alec had lived a very quiet life in the village of Respite, seeing little in his future other than collecting the valuable deadwood of the ancient, magical and above all, deadly Forest Von Mori.

But, now as the sole survivor of his village, and captive of that same necromancer, things are not only different but, more disconcerting than the glaringly obvious, something doesn’t seem right; why is the necromancer so determined to protect him? And just what principles is Alec prepared to forsake to survive . . .

I’ve always been afraid of spiders.
The scholars call it Arachnophobia.
It would be wrong to call that feeling hatred.

Amy Thorne has always abhorred making a scene and sticking out. Despite her best efforts in the past, in the military and in school, she's never truly been assertive, and prefers sticking to the background. Excess attention is the last thing she wants. She's perfectly fine being a non-obtrusive wallflower, or even better, a complete NEET.... more>>

Of course circumstances never leave some people alone. Even in the shadows there are those who'd force her into gainful employment. Thrust into both higher education and a job at a secretive Government agency, she seeks to get her revenge whatever way she can.

Maybe by reading the sketchy grimoires at her job?

A muse is the extension of a maven, the embodiment of one's ambition. At least that is what the necromancers of the Feather clan would have everyone believe...... more>>

Aspect, Legna, Loa, Muse; they go by many names and have many uses. The Lion clan prefers a more honest classification... Slave.

An argument that threatens to plunge two of the biggest clans to war. With the only hope to end it quickly killed at his apex. The liberation war begins, good people are certain to lose their lives.

Rebirth to his sixteen years old with the powerful Schrödinger System, with this new born life, Isaiah decided to take revenge for all the hurt and discontent he had suffered. He would take the mature beauties and campus beauties he couldn't get before and ravage them. He would make the rich second-generation brats he hadn't dared to insult before bow their heads and swear fealty!!!... more>>

But first he had to use his own system to make enough money, and he knew very well that in this realistic society, money is not everything, but no money is nothing!

Isaiah: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son. So as I, but I'm more generous compared to God, because I would give my seed to all the beauties and give them my own son~"

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

Elysia Hayes tries not to be discontent with her lot in life, but that's difficult when she's still reeling from the Diablerie 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 Magical Girl 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 Diablerie the least of her worries.

Elysia thought that being a Magical Girl 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.

What can a hero do in a world designed to breed evil? <<less

Destiny has brought you to this tale, hasn't it? Well, why not plunge into the chapters and accompany the journey of a young man who's grappled with his fair share of challenges? 🤕

He was an introvert, a dreamer, and certainly not someone of extraordinary stature. But what if he's granted a second lease on life in a world filled with magic? ✨

Will he embrace this fresh start with the freedom he so deeply craves, or will he find himself shackled by the unknown? In a world where a man from a modern society finds himself in another realm, the possibilities are boundless, you know? So, what does the future hold for Aaron? 🌍🤔

To uncover the answers, you'll have to continue reading! 📖

After a long and successful life, I die (are poisoned?) and end up reincarnated as a fairy into the world of sword and magic. I'm now bound as a familiar to a small girl. This small girl is also the only one who can see me and his positive emotions are my only food source. Totally crazy, right? And to make things even worse, there is someone who really wants to kill me from the moment I end up in this new world.... more>>

For those who ask why the title is "Reincarnated as a Fairy of Curses", it is because this fairy's real OP power is casting curses. Immensely deadly and repulsive ones of that. <<less

I've somehow ended up in another world (just the soul though). Memories are a bit hazy, I may have an imaginary friend, and I'm definitely suppressing some deep internalized trauma. But hey, I've got some cool new magic powers. If only I can figure out a way back to my original world so my parents stop wasting money on my comatose body's medical fees. Can I return before they go bankrupt? Is my degree completely worthless? Is my soul-trip isn't the result of some larger plot at play? ... more>>

Nah, surely not.

(This is a fanfiction based off of the He Who Fights with Monsters series by Shirtaloon. And definitely a self-insert. Some internal magic theory may not be accurate. This is set in a different world but with similar concepts, since making a new world map, month/week/day terminology is a pain.)

In the year 2025, 3 billion people were transmigrated from Earth into an entirely new world, one that was filled with magic.

With her talent 《Lord of the Cats》, she will have to develop her territory, obtain resources and become stronger in order to survive. Placed into a fight or die situation, will she thrive and become the Overlord of the new world, or will she end up as a nameless Lord among the billions of other Lords? <<less

He was the King, the big Brother.
He was the first among all others.
And one day, he decided to vanish.... more>>

This is the story of Milton, who died an old man, just to be reborn as Isaac Layer and start anew, setting out for another quiet life in the shadows.
Yet suddenly, Gates started to open up in various places of the world, welcoming guests from other dimensions - Monsters and Beasts, stronger than any modern weapon, tougher than any steel armor, and more intent on killing humans than even humans themselves. He must now make a decision.
As every world is, upon conception, meant to collapse and die, will he rally the Gods to make a move, or will they just watch it burn? Will they let the newly appeared Hunters do all the work and leave mankind to fend for itself?

*A mixture of brutal violence, the darker aspects of humanity, and comedy. Centered around a blood mage / warlock and his demonic summons. This story is full of gory fight scenes, you have been warned.*

*Inspired by 'Defiance of the Fall', 'Primal Hunter', 'The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound', and 'Infinite Realm' series. I hope I do them justice.*

I will likely start posting chapters here again soon, but problems with the search function have hidden this series from the public eye every time I add an apostrophe to the search bar. No fix in the forums has been presented. In the meantime, to continue reading, please visit:

Lucas used to live in a wealthy family, but his life turned full of sorrow when his mother passed away when he was still a child. His life worsened when his father remarried. His stepmother appeared as an angel in front of his father, but in front of Lucas, she proved to be a devil who only pursued his father's wealth. Lucas witnessed his wicked stepmother relentlessly seeking his father's riches.... more>>

The next tragedy struck when Lucas' father died due to poison administered by his stepmother. Consumed by anger over this incident, Lucas continued to live with vengeance in his heart. He yearned for an opportunity to seek revenge and put an end to his suffering.

However, the tragic fate that befell Lucas did not end there. When he finally succeeded in avenging himself, he unexpectedly died after being struck by a truck. The luck that previously favored him vanished in an instant.

Yet, when his life had ended, Lucas found himself in heaven. There, he was offered by the God of Luck to be reborn in another world as a hero. His task was to be the final adversary of the God of Demon, an evil entity. Lucas was the last chosen hero from heaven, The Last Chosen One. With desperation and sorrow still haunting his heart, Lucas accepted the offer, hoping that through his new struggle, he might find the peace and dreams he had long sought.

What to expect from this cliche story:
- A loser who became a hero in another world.
- The hero who saved the multiverse.
- Protagonist with extreme fetishes.
- Reincarnators and cheaters are born in the same generation.
