Although, something happened.
It seems that my luck is going to change.

This is the story of the world that happened to exist for some reason, people really die in it, because it is cruel. Forgot to... more>> mention it has a very good main character that is a pretty good person I think, maybe? I wonder. Random unpredictable events may appear. So what will happen?

Who was the woman in the first place?
Read this weird story to find out! What am I even talking about and who are these people and events? <<less

Honestly, the protagonist - the 29 year-old man named Hyuga, his life is not so normal like most of ordinary people out there, but being in isekai definitely makes his life become crazier than before.. <<less

I) All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

II) The Old Realms saga is only published on Scribble Hub and RR for free. It is in the author's plans to publish it on Amazon and other platforms at some point. If you see it offered anywhere else, or someone tries to charge you for it, please report him. It is illegal to sell, or take advantage of intellectual work  without the author's permission. <<less

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

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

Lily, a rabbit with fading dreams of musical fame, is not having a good run of things. What gigs they could get, normally local bars and opening for bands slightly more known than their own, just weren't coming in. Her boyfriend and bandmate, Kisa, has been disappearing and Lily is concerned he's cheating. Well...cheating again.... more>>

No gigs meant no money and bills were coming due. Unfortunately, the job hunt has brought as many offers as her band has had shows in that same time. That amount being exactly none.

Where is my promised reward? <<less

Waking up in a familiar yet foreign world, Evelyn must rebuild the world from the ground up. Words of advice, just don’t fully trust the system.... more>>

[Author's Note]: I haven’t written anything for a few years so it might be a bit rough around the edges from the start of the story. The story is planned to have a slightly slow start as it builds up and has some moments of dark themes. It is planned to be a kingdom building/world building story as well as one revolving around the ‘Hunters genre’ like Solo Leveling but not from the Hunter’s side of the story. Depending on how busy I am, there might be updates once a week or once every two weeks with the chapters being 1500+ words. <<less

In the forgotten land of Gensokyo lay many a fantastical creature and personages even more fantastical than any creature – there reside plentiful of vampires, ghosts, tengus, onis, so on and so forth. The land is a refuge for these creatures who are oft forgotten in the 21st century of the Outside World (Earth) and whisked away through a barrier that separates this odd realm from the normal world that exists outside.... more>>

Perhaps the oddest location in Gensokyo, amongst those comprehendible to the ordinary human mind, is the Scarlet Devil Mansion. A Western mansion, sticking out like a sore thumb in an Eastern land, inhabited by: a gatekeeper who can’t gatekeep, a maid / ninja / very normal human who can control time itself, an asthmatic witch with an impressive collection of books in Esperanto, the mansion’s vampiric mistress with a penchant for trolling, and the aforementioned mistress’ little sister who has the ability to destroy anything and / or anyone at will. Oh, and one last thing, the vampires serve humans for breakfast, dinner and lunch.

As evidenced above, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is not a suitable place to live for your run-of-the-mill homo sapiens with any smidgeon of sanity.

Thus, it is quite a troubling predicament when an ordinary human named Licorice Meidou finds herself in the grounds of the mansion, with no idea as to where she is or who she is. She ends up being recruited on the whim of the mansion’s mistress, stepping foot into the bizarre land of Gensokyo as she has to contend with whatever fate has in store for her.

What to expect from this work:

- The world of Gensokyo as told from the perspective of an ordinary, human female MC working in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, written in a way that should be easy to get into for people who know nothing about Touhou.
- Some comedy, some drama, lots of slices-of-life.
- Scenes of people consuming tea.

What to not expect from this work:

- High octane action with high-stakes drama.
- An overpowered MC who gets all the girls.
- John Brown. Please read the John Brown Isekai if you were expecting the aforementioned.

Since I’m currently busy writing the John Brown Isekai, this work might not have the most consistent chapter length (somewhere around 1000-2000 words / chapter).

New chapters will be uploaded every Saturday at 17:30 GMT.

Book 1 - JiangXi (complete)

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.

There is no synopsis for Book 2 going forward to avoid spoilers.

Expectations:
- MC has no powers. Wits and strategy only.
- Meaty chapters averaging 3500 words.
- Expansive secondary world.
- Updates once a week! (With breaks after each interlude)

The new cosmic tree has been planted.... more>>

‘True was the cosmic tree beacon to protect and champion all the beauty of the stars. I know some will call me naïve, but I sincerely believe in that light.’

Unfortunately, not everyone likes omnipresent walking nukes playing bodyguards to humpback whales and starry-eyed kids with dreams to cure cancer. Facing the possibility of challenges, scum and villains from across the Astral Sea decide it is now or never to pave their brutal reign.

With the peaceful illusion out the windows, chaos inevitably knocked on the door.

Caught in the crossfire of the multiversal crisis, the Earth is shoved up the Astral Sea to meet its new neighbors—a grim escalator to a time bomb.

Considering this escalation, True's response is simple: first train the two schmucks from the planet Earth and build the taskforce to forklift those scums and villains down the comical mass grave.

One way or another—be it Earth’s prided capitalism, fusion-powered satellite laser, or their homegrown outer gods — the Order of True shall prove good is not toothless

"Do you know the true meaning behind the role you have chosen to undertake? I can most assure you it is not always a happy one nor is it one that can be take lightly. You've a gift that makes you shine like no other within the valley of dragons but to truly grow to your great potential you need to have various experiences."

"why are you so familiar to me like someone i knew in the past yet so very different from what i remember?"

"oh my has the little fairy fallen for the lonely dragon perhaps?"

"if we meet again in the future i hope we remember each other and can become friends."

okay sooooo this is my first time writing a story and to be quite honest. i've no idea what i'm doing so i'd appreciate any type of constructive criticism and advice. Seriously.

Updates will probably be irregular as i'm still ironing out how i want the story and world to go.

story elements will contain
slight age changes
mechanics and moves up to gen 9
references to other regions and their events
darker take on certain themes and elements
death of either pokemon or people (no there wont be a death per chapter but when it happens its sad) <<less
