He transmigrated.... more>>

At home, there's a beautiful stepmother who stayed behind after his father went on a solo overseas assignment, eager to build a good relationship with him.

Next door, there's a dignified and uninhibited wealthy madam, and her seemingly delinquent twin daughters.

At the desk in front of him, a cold and elegant honor student who appears to be facing some family issues.

Tucked away in his drawer, a letter from the valiant kendo club captain, asking him to meet her on the rooftop after school.

The infirmary door always has a "currently in use" sign hanging on it.

Strange noises always emanate from the sports storage room.

The neighbor's wife seems to always be in some kind of trouble, always asking him to fix her computer.

Facing all of this, Uesugi Kazuki silently glanced at the mask in his school bag.

"Now then... which outlaw will I be punishing tonight?"

Content Warning:
This story includes disturbing themes: violence, psychological manipulation, and social depravity. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

I'm a big fan of Marvel comics and anime—especially their darker themes and deeper implications. This story is an idea I've had for a while. I'm still new to writing, so I may stumble in some areas.

Just give it a fair shot—read the first 50 chapters or so to get a real feel for the story. This is a non-commercial webnovel published purely for entertainment purposes.
---

What to Expect:
A dark, twisted urban fantasy with an unreliable narrator and a morally grey main character. Expect psychological manipulation, emotional damage, crime, cults, corruption, deviant school life, and RPG-like progression. Themes include mind control, yandere obsession, fetish subcultures, sexual coercion, and power abuse—set against a backdrop of conspiracies, shadow justice, and societal decay.

This story explores the line between heroism and madness—with heavy doses of gore, transgression, and existential dread.

Note: Most cover and character art for this novel is made by me using AI tool. If you’d like to see the character design and reference check out the glossaries.

Leon was a robotics engineer with a bright future—until he was run over by a military truck and killed on the spot. But death wasn’t the end. Thanks to a cosmic glitch and to an idiot, Leon wakes up in a new world, reincarnated as the son of a minor noble family guarding the wild frontier of a massive Empire. With his intact mind, enhanced brain, and a world begging for progress, Leon sees opportunity everywhere—one that he will grab for sure.... more>>

But not everything will go smoothly. Monsters come over in the winter, the Empire monopolizes magic and technology, and society clings to barbaric ways. Refusing to accept the status quo, Leon decides to reshape his family’s backwater territory into a land he would enjoy living in. Armed with knowledge from his old life, modern problem-solving, and an irreverent attitude, he plans to revolutionize his territory. But in a land where magic is rare and unknown to ordinary people, he knows he’ll need more than blueprints to succeed. He will need his own wizards and witches...

---- Author's notes:

Hey-ho! I ain't planning to introduce world-changing, thought-provoking ideas here. It is all for the plain and simple reason of having some fun! What you need to be aware of:

- Yes, this is an isekai story. No, there are no 'cheats' or systems involved with gaining skills. He is just a guy reincarnating with a gene-modified brain, so it explains why he can remember things and be smart. That is it. Think of it as him having a perfect memory. Also an addition for newcomers: If you perceive confidence as arrogance, you may very well dislike the MC right off the bat. He is not someone who will lay low and try to blend in when his territory is the most backward and abandoned place in a vast Empire. Where the throne is so far away, messages take months to go back and forth.
- The story mostly focuses on kingdom-building stuff and slice-of-life elements, not on conquest or curb stomping others. The main conflict will be centered around wars, yes, but it won't be one guy vs. the world or something like that. Magic is going to play a big role in building up the territory, as I plan to branch out into magic technology later on. I am going to rely heavily on magic because I am mostly a fantasy writer and not an engineer. Hence, the magic-technology tag.
- The MC's main goal is to enjoy himself. This also means girls. So there will be a harem. Those who are familiar with my works, how I do groups, and how my characters act will know I don't like doing cardboard cutouts of characters. Most of my stories have more than one character accompanying the MC. The same will be true here, with the extra caveat that they will also be involved romantically with the MC.
- The story plays out in a 1st person POV. There won't be jumping around multiple POVs; I don't like that. Only when the story requires it and the MC can’t be present by himself for some story parts.
- Don't take this story seriously nor look for scientifically 100% real and codex-like solutions for problems. This is a fantasy world, a totally different culture, and with history, that is NOT OUR world! There is magic here, and the MC has a supercomputer for a brain. I think that says it all.
- My main goal is to enjoy writing some whacky but real-sounding scenarios. They will be based upon feasible ideas, but I am not writing a damned textbook about thermodynamics. Laws will be bent and broken when the story needs it.
- Regarding smut, there are some chapters with erotic scenes, but not every other chapter. So expect it when the mood is there in the story and not because I must cram as much snu-snu in as possible... That won't happen.
- No guns. Why? Every similar story has guns. This doesn't. This has mechs and power swords. Why? Because I said so.

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…

Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.

But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?

“Volume 1: Strange Beginnings” Chapter 1-46

“What does a depressed student, investigator, a wanted witch, refugee, priest, and a man from another world have in common… nothing actually. Just that where they started was a little special, but where they are all headed is somewhere truly strange. For eventually they will cross paths with each other both directly and indirectly. In the meantime, there's a whole bunch of strange deaths and murders going on in the city of Graheel.”

"Volume 2: A Gathering Of The Fateless” Chapter 47-?

All while Joe is still far from solving who murdered Rob, and is about to make a desperate move to get the information he needs. The red witch prepares to take action against the Graheel University to protect her new disciple while being forced to work with other patrons of John.

"And finally John discovers his reason for him being transported to this world, or maybe not. Trying to get a simple-to-understand answer from an eldritch being is not so easy. "

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less

In a crumbling world where ancient shrines hide forgotten powers, Ran awakens beneath the ruins of her past — wounded, feverish, and alone. Pursued by echoes of old memories and cryptic whispers, she is thrust into a brutal trial where strength is the only truth.

Sick of isekai/litrpg/wuxia slop? Well here's something a little different. This is a solemn, quiet story, that won't hold your hand. If you've found your way here, then welcome.
Combat and magic take a back seat to characters and plot. Progression is made through oddities and allies. The MC is already has a mate at the of the fiction. The MC is a essentially an effeminate cat boy. Lot's of monster girls. No smut, but ecchi here and there.
This fiction is a soft reboot to the original Sidonian Vigor, which essentially details the MC's suicide mission prior to this fiction. It is not necessary to read to understand this fiction; However, readers who enjoy this fiction may find value in the original despite its poorer writing quality. It can be found on Royal Road by searching its name. I don't want to reveal too much more, but I'm quite excited for the story. I hope to be fast paced while still including light-hearted sections here and there.

This is my first time using SH, so please bear with me. I hope you enjoy the fiction! Feel free to leave comments or criticism, though I may be slow to respond or may not respond at all. Expect updates to cluster around the weekends. I don't make any promises, but so far I've done about 2-4 chapters per week. Chapters vary in size, but largely stay within the 1k-2k range, with a few chapters at around 4k at the most. <<less

Jason knew how he was going to die next. He's been Yagura for a month now and there's a Tailed-Beast living inside him, he knew how he was going to die next.
Nobody wants to die, not even those that have done it before. Navigating the world as Yagura Karatachi, Elite Jounin of Kirigakure and Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Beast would be dangerous enough on its own but as a Kage-candidate for Fourth Mizukage, he's far too attractive for the likes of Obito and Madara to ignore.
The true Yagura is destined for a near decade under Obito's genjutsu and his village the piggybank of the Akatsuki's plans. He can't let that happen and... more>> not just because he's caught up in it now.
***

Allo, just wanna say this fanfic is my second go at envisioning a character in the position of supreme power; Kage. As Kages don't regularly do missions and violence often comes to them instead, there will be fewer fight scenes until Yagura/Jason begin to face the big threat to the Shinobi world. As such I'll mostly be exploring what *right* decisions Kirigakure could have taken and the challenges to those decisions post 3rd shinobi war, as well as trying to pre-empt Obito's Akatsuki with the current Kages; Onoki, Ay, Rasa, and Hiruzen/Minato.
As an aspect of the fic, it will be very Yagura/Kiri-centric with other villages and characters having interlude chapters in between. I am taking this route because, well, it's interesting and I want to discover more of what Kirigakure and its Legendary Swordsmen could have been.
Anyway, hope you enjoy. <<less

Silas Reed unified Earth, conquered nations, and led humanity into the stars. Not as a hero. Not as a tyrant. But as a man obsessed with truth.

He needed minds. Tools. Data. So he raised a civilization around him like scaffolding. But when that civilization stopped growing—when it became content—he let it collapse behind him without regret.

His final experiment was a time machine. It failed.

Instead of the past, it flung him into another universe—one ruled by martial gods, bloodline dynasties, mana, and power structures beyond human logic.

Here, Silas is no longer at the top of the food chain.

But that only makes the puzzle more beautiful.

He doesn't want revenge. Or redemption. Or power.

He wants understanding.

What he doesn't know—yet—is that he was expected. That his arrival was not a fluke, but a move. One placed on a board he cannot yet see, by players he cannot yet comprehend.

This is not the story of a chosen one.

It is the chronicle of a man with a single obsession—and what happens when a cold, curious god of reason walks into a world that runs on myth.
