Occult, "the knowledge of the hidden", something that falls outside the scope of common thinking, something incomprehensible and indecipherable to the common masses.

Encompassing mysticism, spirituality, and magic.

And the beings who embrace these are known as—Occultist.

This, is the story of the one such occultist, same, but so much different from the rest.

This is the chronicle of the son of 'The Most Evil Man in the World'. He who is 'The Beast Of Perfection', 'The Travler Of Mysterious', 'The Face Of Countless'.

A trans coming of age story set in an urban fantasy setting. Deals with international politics within the supernatural world. The sidhe, mages, Heaven, and Hell are a major parts of the story.

It is told from a leftist, primarily anarcho-communist perspective. Think Dresden Files with a dash of Fullmetal Alchemist, but it's queer. This story has plenty of feel-good moments, but this is not a fluffy story. Those familiar with the previously mentioned series can expect a similar tone to those.

RECURRING CONTENT WARNING: Abuse, anxiety, body horror, internalized transphobia/homophobia, dysphoria, violence, gore, death, duress, strong language (no slurs), non-explicit sexual content, torture mention, poor self-esteem, and bigotry. Each chapter has specific CW for that chapter, not all of which are on this list

Spoiler: The main character is not exclusively into women. I'm NOT going to remove the Girl's Love tag so don't ask me to.

Tannel died young, yet his legacy as a mage remains unparalleled. A prodigy in the magic of machinery, his techniques have not been fully replicated three hundred years after his passing, and the creation of an artificial life has never been successfully attempted again. But the greatest of his deeds was one that cost him his life, a sacrifice that he made willingly to halt a catastrophe, though then he did not yet understand the true extent of the threat to the entire world.... more>>

Never did he expect that he would yet live again. Nor would he have wished for it, for the terrible price for his second chance was paid by his own family, who had taken on his mantle of sacrifice in his absence. Centuries have passed and the world is no longer as he once knew it. The body he now inhabits was someone else's, and even the nature of his own existence eludes his understanding. But what has not changed is the weight of his responsibilities.

But it is also his chance to tackle the threats that remain, that had forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, to solve the mysteries that he never had the time to unveil, but which nonetheless would not let him rest at peace. With ancient things on the move and numerous magics at work that evade his comprehension, these are challenges to his pride that can't be left unanswered.

A frontier village was unnecessarily put to the sword. A father stoked the fires of war to punish an errant daughter, and perhaps set her straight, but as often happens when fire is applied in a measure too much: it can get rather out of hand.

Nobody was supposed to die that day… but the village burned all the same, and the woman she loved was among the dead! Enraged, and seized with inspiration, she became something new, something stronger, and she will have her revenge! <<less

Demon: “Are you even a real priest to begin with?”

What would happen if our du- I mean, smartest and STRONGEST fairy were to be summoned to another world?

The world is not without irony, as evident by my life. I was born Thurston Olaf Steenberg and grew up hating the Spellbinders and all... more>> that they stood for. I lived more than thirty-five years as a simple man. Had I been allowed to continue on that path I would have died an insignificant nobody who would not have gained so much as a footnote in the history of the world. It was only by becoming what I hated most that I was able to transcend my humble beginnings and do good in the world. The following is the story of my origins. It is not the story of my birth, but of my rebirth. It the story of how I became Aryanna Morgana Le Fey. <<less

What if on everyone’s birthday, they got a skill card encapsulating their past year? And what if it's [Resist Hunger] seven years in a row?... more>>

Renalia had dreamt of gaining new abilities and lifting her parents out of poverty with her new Deck. But none of her skill cards help the family peat harvesting business.

Her Deck interests others though, as the Baron recruits her into his entourage. In a bigger town, she finds ways to make money, aided by her Deck’s hidden ability to loot skill cards from monsters.

The money helps but she has to learn that it does not wipe away all debts nor buy the happiness that she wants. And it certainly does not deal with the increasing appearance of monsters.

 - Slow-burn coming-of-age story with decks of skill cards.
 - Very light game mechanics with skill cards. No stat boxes, experience points, health, stamina, etc.
 - Young and weak protagonist, but proactive and not whiny. Eventually strong.
 - Please note that this story is more focused on characterization, rather than the deckbuilding and LitRPG elements. The latter is so light that I'm not even tagging it as a 'LitRPG'.
- Contains tragic events. Not meant for kids even though the MC is a child.

Ever since Aster’s mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she’s little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead.... more>>

So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees.

She’s only been to the palace once, a memory she’s replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he’s cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of.

As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian’s new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it’s rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go.

With all the odds against her, winning over her begrudging fiancé and the rest of the peanut gallery seems next to impossible. But with the help of her unflappable maid Fina, a brutally blunt swindler, and the apprentice of the palace’s magical deviant, maybe Aster might just have a shot at her happily ever after.

Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package.... more>>

Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse.

The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission. <<less

Meanwhile, Alice doesn't know any of this. She's stuck in the newly transformed Alaskan wilderness, where things are more eager than ever to snack on her bone marrow.

All by herself.
Alone.
Or, as alone as one can get with the voice of an annoying, stuck up, homicidal womanizer stuck in her head.
