We're all told to find our passion in life, figure out what we are good at, and pursue it. In Akagi's case, it turns out her passion was assassination, not something a normal girl gets involved in right? Trapped in Free World Online for four years and forced to fight for her very life, her name became one that struck fear and terror in the hearts of Players and NPCs alike. But when the game was over and it was time to go home, what would happen to the terrifying assassin known as "the Red Hand?"... more>>

Reincarnated As A Hydra (Book 1 Chapters [1] - [80])
The only thing the mage remembers is his death. He sees echoes of a war long lost and a fallen city vanished in the sands of time. He died but now he breathes again? He finds himself in a new form and given a new name and someone to protect. The mage turned hydra is bonded to the girl he now calls master. Bjorn lost his old life and when Freja’s life is threatened he will do everything in his power to protect her and maybe find his memories along the way.... more>>

"The Chronicles of a Scalebound Sage: Reincarnated as a Hydra" follows Bjorn as he protects Freja, his new master. She is scorned, beaten and disowned from her family for being a failure in the arcane arts. The two must lean on each other for strength to survive in a world of monsters and magic. This is a LitRPG adventure where every victory is a hard fought and death is quick to claim those that lack resolve.

Interlude Chapters
Additional interludes will explore other surprises, delving into different facets of the world and its inhabitants.

Wandmaker (Book 2 Ongoing)
An ancient power stirs, sensing the impending return of the True Immortals. As the signs of untold destruction echo across the world, the urgent need for a new Wandmaker arises. They will be a beacon of hope in the turbulent time ahead. The veil between realms grows thin, and beings from beyond begin to awaken, their eyes fixed on the Lower Planes.

Tanisha, Bjorn and Joha finally leave the Yuhia behind to travel to more peaceful lands. Their journey leads them to the floating human nation of the Force Isles. Along the way, they encounter fellow travelers and seize opportunities to trade their wares. However, the path to the Force Isles is fraught with peril. The once-safe passage has been corrupted by chaotic magic, transforming a routine voyage into a treacherous expedition.

Takumi and Chiori Chihara are two siblings that have been close since birth. After a traumatic event, and ensuing circumstances leading to them being socially outcast, they look to one another for support and company, as Takumi takes on the role to keep the family together, cost what it may.... more>>

This bizarre dynamic only continues as they grow into adults, Chiori never letting go of acting as spoiled as she was as a child, and Takumi reluctantly going along. However, this only further complicates things as Chiori begins to harbor one-sided feelings for her reliable other brother, and Takumi plans to avoid her, perhaps for good, as he's unable to deal with the responsibilities arising from this complicated situation.

Yet what he may not realize, is that those feelings could have been mutual all along. Yet whether those around them could accept such a thing or not, is a fear he cannot let go of.

When the truth is laid bare, will they remain able to rely on one another, or will their relation break under pressure?

A friend is a great thing to have, specially if its a bestfriend who has your back in everything that you do.... more>>

From sharing food from the cafeteria and giving favors to unreasonable request.

From sharing secrets, hobbies and ambitions.

From getting into one's own brawls as back-up and giving advice to problems.

From giving important information, such as who likes who, girl's three sizes and their backgrounds.

And from setting up the confession to the girl you like.

That was the life that our MC had led but that all changed when he got screwed over by the very friend he had supported all this time.

When he awoke, he became the thing he detest now more than ever in a new world and worst of all, in the world of 'their' favorite novel where his new identity essentially becomes cannon fodder.

"Screw this! I'm going to do this my way now!"

He cursed and swore to live as he wants in this new life, discarding his previous life's label.

Finding a strange app on his beloved notebook, Su Yan is sure he has fallen prey to a hacker. But why is this strange app issuing tasks related to his favorite hobby? Wait … What?

This is a slow-burn isekai story about a young girl named Siya who was born with a weak body into a world that only cares about Strength. Because of this, she isn’t able to even use the only thing she has going for her, a knack for strategy, which is the last thing that the nation of meat heads seems to care about.... more>>

She faces many hardships and trials, struggling through abuse, grueling training, and seeing death around every turn. Despite all of this, she presses on, grasping at straws and using everything at her disposal to survive. Turning to devine favor, unique abilities, and even magic and dark magic later on, they each come with a new problem. As she finds unlikely friends, and deals with unthinkable betrayals, she struggles to finally stand tall and place herself in a position of power where her true abilities could finally shine.

This is NOT a revenge story, but that isn’t to say the main character magically forgives people either. <<less

Max is a troubled individual, struggling through life without really knowing what they're doing or where they're going. ... more>>

They also meet Penny, an alien Symbiote that binds to their nervous system. Penny is weird, young and full of questions, and as a little bonus, gives Max superpowers.

I know most people don't like rape, but I'll include a spoiler below for those who want to know more about it to see if they want to keep reading or not.

Unfortunately for Ben, his wish for an uneventful seventeenth birthday goes unanswered. As expected, the bullies who tormented him through most of high school couldn't leave well alone. However, this year, Ben received a 'gift' (if one could even call it that) that he neither expected nor wanted, and unintentionally transforms one of the bullies into a girl. ... more>>

His already dismal life spirals downwards even further, his family falls apart, and it's all because of this unnatural ability that he didn't ask for.

And through all that, despite knowing that it's wrong, he can't help but feel envious of those he transformed. <<less

There was something down there, in the crypt.... more>>

Matty wasn't anything like his brother, or the other guys in the village, as much as it annoyed his father. He couldn't help it — he hated the idea of bulking up and learning to fight. Why'd he want to do that when he could spend time with Colette, the older woman that would tell all kinds of stories about his mother?

Some secrets were never meant to be shared. The Truth of his mother, the Truth of the village itself.

There's something dangerous in the deepest depths, and... in the end, Matty might have to learn to fight anyway. <<less

Dear Reader,

The upcoming novel follows the story of a yandere woman who, despite her menacing persona as a gangster, has a strong and passionate love for her husband. These chapters feature dominant themes, sensitive subjects, and explicit content. If the dominant nature of the woman makes you uncomfortable, I kindly advise to refrain from continuing with the novel.

Thank you.
__________x__________x___________x__________

"Who are you?" I asked the woman who sat a few meters away from me.
"Your wife," she shot back at me.

Stunned, I asked further, "My wife?" I mean, what the hell?

"Cut the crap, I listed some points in this document. You better abide by them." She threw a document filled with clauses.

"What the fuck, at least tell me your name?" I asked, with fear floating before my eyes.

"Shanaya Jonas," she asserted.

"Shanaya, the devil woman of the underworld of Nivea?!" I plopped down with utter fear and disbelief.

No one knew the devil woman who ruled over the entire Nivea with a sword in her right hand and decapitated her opponents.

Everyone feared her dominant nature because she never tolerated nonsense within her domain. Even the highest government officials posed no threat to her, as she never crossed the government's boundaries. The women in Nivea were bold and straightforward towards men, as they received support from this deadly woman whom every man assumed to be innocent, but was really a she-devil in disguise.

"Please don't kill me, I haven't committed any sin," I pleaded, bowing before her.
"No, you haven't, but you've captured my heart, honey. So now I own you, and if you ever try to escape from me, pray that the consequences won't befall you too soon." She gently bit my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

Will Ryan continue his journey of love or will he escape from her? This journey contains love, hatred, pain, and pleasure. <<less

By some freak coincidence, Song Ci mistakenly consumed the blood of the Demon King, causing himself to become a demon too. A weak scholar…… forced to suffer in silence.... more>>

What was even more tragic was that no matter where he went, demons would attack him from all directions braying for his blood, or they would squeeze his neck while interrogating him about his relationship with the Demon King.

As such, Song Ci became an anti-fan of the Demon King. Regardless of who praised the Demon King, he would be the first to stand out and refute them.

Song Ci fled for his life as he searched for the gate leading to the Demon Realm. Along the way, he clung on to the thigh of an influential man, and went to great pains to persuade him to slay the Demon King together with him and restore peace to the human world.

Song Ci, “Sooner or later, I will skin the Demon King, rip the tendons off him, and drink his blood!”

Rong Bai (smiling), “I admire the way you think.”

Who knew that, after entering the demon realm —

Tens of thousands of monsters bowed their heads and kowtowed to this thigh beside him and shouted “Long live the Demon King!”

Song Ci was stunned.

Rong Bai (smiling), “What did you say you were going to do when you came to the Demon Realm?”

Song Ci, “It, it’s all a misunderstanding……” <<less

Offered a second chance, Talivi wants to live the childhood she didn't get to on Earth. Born to a village of harpies, and without memories of her previous life, she lives a peaceful life among her people.... more>>

Her peaceful life doesn’t stay that way for long. If she wanted that, being born as a rare elemental harpy dealt her a tough hand. Forces beyond her control drive wedges between her and those she cherishes. So much for growing up simply with her clutch sisters.

The outcome of a dice roll is neither cruelty nor benevolence. It is entropy.

This is my first time writing long form prose. Feedback is welcome, I'd love to hear what you readers like and where you think I could have done better.

I'm shooting for a chapter a week. Trans/Reincarnation moment for MC is in chapter 11 flashback.
Smut is a small part of the story, but aside from character moments, readers should miss nothing by skipping those chapters if they want.

What to expect:
A take on the hero's journey
B plot Romance and clearly marked skippable smut chapters
Themes of identity and self told through trans and cis lenses alike
Themes of family pulled apart and brought together <<less

Two years have passed since an elusive sorceress introduced the world to magic, by way of a single simple spell. Easy enough that anyone can cast it, and powerful enough to let people transform themselves to achieve their ideal body.

It's even become common enough that high-school students have started using it as a rite of passage - the first full moon after their 16th birthday some teens use powerful life-chaning magic to make token cosmetic alterations to themselves, just to prove they've done it.

The main character always ends up with the male lead?... more>>

Well, the readers have agreed to disagree with this thought.

Alright then, we just need someone to destroy the main character.

We need to take away the main character's golden thigh.

Now Ruby joined her mom's coven, filled with older witches who are eager to teach her something. Maybe transitioning was not a bad thing after all.

"Mom, can you drive to dad's place first? My things are already packed."

"No need. You won't be needing them."

"But I don't even have any spare sets of clothes here."

Mom reached closer, and ran her gloved hand through the inner lining of his tuxedo. "You look fine in this. But believe me when I say this, you won't need them again." A mysterious glint appeared in mom's eyes, something that worried Reuben, but he dismissed those thoughts.

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

Author Notes:

This is just a side project to scratch that itch to produce smut while I focus on my other stories.
Creative sugggestions for scenes/ideas are always welcome.

=====================Content Warning================================

Despite the premise, the story deals with a lot of grey zone and morally questionable actions.
Individual chapters do not come with separate warnings. This is a conscious decision I had to make considering several factors. Chief among them being the narratorial structure and ambiguous nature of events.
My humble request to readers: If you are not at a mentally healthy place, or have unresolved parental issues, please give this story a pause and come back at another time. <<less
