Chara, once a beloved child, adored by many… miserably dies! Except, rather than finding peace in the afterlife, she reincarnates as a spirit in a world known as La Vermeen.... more>>

There, she encounters a myriad of strange and interesting spirits, from mischievous wind spirits to calculating math spirits, including a domineering curiosity essence spirit, who offers to teach her—with no ulterior motives whatsoever.

Through her instruction, Chara gleans insights into the nature of mana and magic, enabling her to grasp the power of bond, the cornerstone for all advancement.

By the way, apparently, Curiosity is a very experienced teacher with many past students. So… why are they glaring at us from outside the building? <<less

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

Celia, who had been a puppet playing to the tune of the government, had spent her life fighting creatures called "Visitors", who had been invading earth for centuries, for as long as she could remember. Together with Pan, her partner in crime and a Visitor of Special Grade himself, all she wanted was to survive.... more>>

Yet, after dying unexpectedly of heart attack one day, she woke up and found herself as an inconsequential villainess from "The Saintess' Unbreakable Shield" - a novel she had once read. Rowena Dynari van Varnhagen, the daughter of the only Grand Duke of the Arlen Empire.
Said villainess, equipped with a few minor... personality quirks, offended the female lead at the beginning, and, soon after, was promptly cut right out of the story, due to sudden pneumonia.

Determined not to let people trample on, and use her again, Celia - no, Rowena - decides to fight for a future worth having.

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.
#-----#
So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.

* * * The Synopsis will be in the Glossary* * * ... more>>

(Haven't decided if I'm actually going to add R-18 and excessive gore scenes or not! And yes, the image is AI-generated. I'm terribly untalented at drawing and I'm too broke to commission art, but I promise I will in the future when I can afford it.)

* * * This is my first novel and I don’t expect it to be good since I’m just starting out. So please read my story and critique it. I want to know what I did or am doing wrong and how to improve or what to learn from it. I am well aware that my story would never get close to a 9 since I’m new at this, but I’m at the very least aiming for a 7 or a 7.5 rating. I am more than willing to accept criticism, and I understand if I wrote something stupid, but please don’t give me an overly negative attitude about it. * * *

– 「Authors Notes」

- I will do what I can to keep chapters around or over 1500 words per chapter.

- Since I am new, I will do my best to complete at least one chapter within two weeks until I improve and can hopefully reduce that time.

- I have many ideas and concepts that I really like and I also drew inspiration from several games and other media. I will do my best to use, build on, add to, and or reference these things so please tell me if I’m just blatantly plagiarizing them. I want to write my own story without simply reinventing the wheel, rewriting a copy and paste, or stealing someone else's idea.

- As a new writer, I will definitely make a lot of mistakes, so I would definitely appreciate it if you could help point out if and when I make grammatical errors, contradictions, and retcon things. I will try to go back and fix my mistakes on my own, but I would appreciate it if you could spot me on them as well.

- I plan on having a semi big cast of characters. I understand that multiple POVs can be annoying and ruin the story or pacing or both so I promise to do my best to focus solely on my big 3.

- Though I want to, I don’t know how to properly write adult scenes that will fit well with certain moods I’m putting the characters in. I don’t want to add a needless or mindless adult scene just because two people finally decided they like each other or something. I’ll see if I can capture the mood properly. Please judge me if I don’t, though.

- Since one of my characters is supposed to know everything that's happening within the story I'll do my best to make him speak as naturally about these things as possible.

- One thing I really liked about a popular anime I liked was how they included bits of information, such as abilities, unique equipment, enemies, locations, and other details about the world before and after the short commercial break so I plan on trying to have some short notes/information about the world at the bottom of every chapter.

* * * Thank you for choosing to read my novel, I hope it's something you look forward to reading * * * <<less
