Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. A life of war and pain left him with nothing and nobody, and with the fight for the world over and done with Zaren was ready to simply disappear. To leave behind the world that held nothing more for him, taking with him a powerful weapon he knew would cause untold suffering if it fell into the wrong hands. As far as he's concerned, the world was better off without him or the blade in it.... more>>

But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A deity from another realm threatens their world, and only a goddess whose domain is far too intimate for Zaren’s liking is convinced of its existence. She needs Zaren to prepare the world for a war nobody believes is coming before its too late. The only problem? Her deal involves resetting Zaren’s level back nearly to one.

Alone and with only a shadow of his former power, Zaren has to collect both levels and allies in the hopes he might stand a chance against the looming threat. But the world he’s trying to save isn’t quite the one he left behind. Something is affecting the world in ways he has to figure out before it gets him killed, and he isn't sure its only mortals behind those changes. Changes that seem to mesh oddly well with certain...benefits provided by the goddess who contracted him.

But if Zaren wants to have a chance at completing his impossible task, he’s going to have confront the scars of his past and unravel the darkness that lurks within him. A task that might have more to do with his mission than he previously thought. Luckily, those put on his path, seemingly by fate itself, seem more than willing to offer a helping hand. And, if he plays his cards right, quite a bit more.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-Dark themes, traumatic pasts mixed with lighter moments that will slowly head towards happier waters as Zaren fights against the world he finds himself in.
-Longer chapters, almost always over 5k words
-A competent MC with a tortured past doing his best to move forward
-Occasional other POVs from various characters, sometimes not immediately relating to the current characters (though they will always factor in eventually)
-Plenty of smut. Though it isn't the main focus of the story and doesn't start too strong, it will ramp up over time.
-LitRPG elements with less emphasis on number crunching and more on the end results so as to not bog the reader down with numbers and data
-A wide cast of characters, races, skills, classes, etc.
-A world that isn't openly smut-themed in nature, but there might be some secrets Zaren uncovers as he explores it...
-No NTR, incest, furry, or generally taboo kinks

-Current Update Schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but I will occasionally drop extra chapters if I have a lot stored up or if I feel like more than one chapter is necessary.

Alex was a bullied high-school student with high sense of morality and a guy who believed in having a firm heart due to his martial art heritage. One day after being beaten unconscious at school he suddenly wakes up to find himself in a mysterious library, but before he could digest his situation, a woman he had never met before reincarnated him into a world of swords and magic.... more>>

Fifteen years after his reincarnation he visits the great kingdom of Lancia to reunite with his comrade and childhood friend. However, things quickly fall out of place as he meets an old enemy who had apparently 'reformed' and became a good person after their last encounter including the crown prince of the kingdom itself.

This is ignoring the Ascenders in the shadows...! What are their goals and how is he related to them?

What is to happen in this tale of Hidden Dragons and ACTUAL Dragons? Guess it's all in Alex's hands... <<less

The Demon Lord has won. The Chosen are dead. The gods are cut off from the world. The Hero, despite everything, has fallen. The world is doomed and can no longer be saved. However, there is still a small hope. While what has happened cannot be fixed, it can hopefully be stopped from ever happening in the first place. The hero is granted another try to set things right, with just a few changes to their story.... more>>

Again and again the hero tries, living through life after life, struggling against what they believe to be impossible odds. In a final desperate gamble they give up everything they ere, the title of hero, their powers and their birthright to be given a new chance with the knowledge of all of their failures at their fingertips.

But if the Hero of Legend with all of their divine abilities can’t save the world, how can a little girl?

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet.... more>>

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

"How endlessly dull."... more>>

Noah and his friends are transported to another world in a severely flawed summoning ritual, and are consequently significantly weaker than what they should have been.

And yet, they defy all odds, and still manage to seemingly defeat all demons and find themselves confronting the Demon Lord.

They are less than fleas before him.

With deep psychological scars, they are replaced by heroes far surpassing the historical standard, exiled and left to rot.

But they refuse.

Sakashima’s economy and everyone’s quality of life are in peril!... more>>

Everyone is blissfully ignorant except Central Bank Chairman Matsuda and those in the highest echelons of government. When the crap hits the fan and the truth can no longer be denied, the Sakashiman people will want answers… and the blood of those responsible!

Fortunately there is a solution. UN-fortunately the only man alive who can help is a broken shell of his former self; a man destroyed in the past by none other than Chairman Matsuda.

Can this man find the strength to let bygones be bygones and lend his aid? What could Matsuda offer our hero in return for his assistance? Can a high-functioning sociopath like Matsuda even be trusted to deliver on his promises?

Find out in… A Palace of Sea Urchins.

After defeating the Demon King, all I want is to live a peaceful life. A normal life... Although it's harder than I thought. My dream... more>> is to have a girlfriend and friends. If I can fulfill one of those dreams, I'll die happy. One day, I killed a group of bandits and rescued a sex slave. I turned her into a vampire and gave her a new life.

That boy was supposed to save our world from the wrath of the Demon King. And while the King is dead, an even worse threat has arisen: the boy himself! I don't know how he came to this world, but I'm going to be the one to take him out of it. The only problem is, I've heard he's super strong. As in, destroy-the-world-if he-so-much-as-sneezes strong. What am I, a prince of a lowly kingdom going to do about it? Honestly, I have no idea. What I do know is that I'm the only one willing to step up. ... more>>

Sure, there's the hero part, but that worm also stole my attendant to add to his collection of girls! Joke's on him, I've got one of his girls as my companion, though this one seems to be dumber than a sack of rocks.

Just my luck.

Together, we'll travel to the Demon King's palace to somehow put a stop to this threat, or my name isn't Anno, third prince of Cross! <<less

In a world where humans and demons were constantly at war with each other, one that the demon queen brought ruin and destruction to wherever she sent her army of demons, desiring to invade and conquer the world, a hero was born!... more>>

A hero recorded in the legends that held the power to slay the demon queen and relieve this miserable world of the ruin and destruction that it had long desired!

Unfortunately, the demon queen wouldn’t accept the existence of a possible threat, nor would she easily follow her predecessors in dying at the hands of the hero. To stop her fate of dying to the hero, she sent her beautiful but lewd daughter to end the very existence of this hero.

However, when it truly came to the princess killing the hero, she decided against it! She had a better plan! Why not body swap with the hero and use his incredible powers?

She would live as a man, and the hero would live as a lewd succubus, forced to live a life as a demon and slave of the hero for eternity!

Now, will they decide to fulfill the purpose of a hero and slay the demon queen, or will they instead conquer the world and be feared by all? Either way, the journey ahead of them will be filled with lewdness and love!

The Hero From Another World was overpowered, moving faster and with more strength than anyone in the world, in ways that trivialized combat with enemies... but that doesn't mean he understood how to navigate a foreign culture, much less change the systems within it he disapproved of.... more>>

After gaining the enmity of his former ally Lady Wren, he complains to his rather dumb but kind slave girl Sasha that he'd like to switch places with her and live her comparatively easy life. To his surprise, she does just that-- and it turns out she's not as dumb or as kind as the former Hero thought.

Despite her betrayal and intermittent cruelty, the former Hero becomes convinced to work with her to end slavery as a whole, and becomes enmeshed with a power struggle that lies beneath the surface of the kingdom... even as they struggle with their own identity in their new body and role.

Murdered by his cunning wife, a man meets Peyra who saves his soul. The goddess of mischief and lust reveals when she makes the murdered man her pet, a ghoul called Grym the Faceless. While Grym carries the unquenchable appetite for human flesh, he also carries the frightening power of a dark sorcerer.
Returning to his world which slowly shifts from magic to human ingenuity, Grym knows magic is no longer vital to the empire. Nobles increasingly use cannons and muskets against mages and monsters while the merchants trade their goods with steam ships and trains. Rulers see a future where standing armies and telegraphs replace heroes of myth.
Yet, Grym has a plan to... more>> shake the empire to its core. After discovering the eternal tomb of Valary, a healer hero betrayed by Emperor Nazalath, he releases the woman who seeks vengeance for her betrayal. Together, they start on their separate paths of revenge. While she believes the ghoul's focus centers upon short-term revenge, he has much bigger plans. Grym intends to take down the empire using the ancient sorcery he's learned and the underlying strife inside the empire. He will turn the world into a bloody realm filled with anarchy and chaos. For a ghoul sees no reason to help a humanity filled with a history of hypocrisy, cruelty, and stupidity.

In search for true freedom a hero lays down his life.
For he thought true freedom laid just beyond glorious sacrifices.
Instead, he comes to learn that true freedom was hidden inside his own personal nightmare.

Warning: There is no romance in this book (the main character will not pursue any relationships even if others have feelings for them), there might be some torture but not the extreme kind.
I have also post on RoyalRoad.
There will be at least three chapters a week and bonus chapters if I top off my pile. Which I do often. <<less

What we have here is a very annoying Plot bunny which never went away. All because the main character of Worm and a destroyer from WW2 share a name, then for some absurd reason my head says yeah! That’ll definitely work in my little pony. I can’t just let it be a standard destroyer though Worm has tinkers which could do cool things to the warship right? So what if there is little to no fighting in my little pony. I want a flying super destroyer which could probably blow up Malaysia.

This is a story about a Dansk (otherwise known as a Danish speaker.) A prince on the island of Eire or better known as Ireland. In this legend, we discover how he'd fought to defend the realm his father had bestowed upon him from a competing Norse kingdom and the powerful fiefdoms of the Eire.

The story will have lots of sex, Lilith is a succubus,so duh. Sex and mature content will play a big part in the story.

Note: In this world, people become adults at 15 yrs old(13 for girls). There are scenes of the MC kissing, hugging and groping her lover when she is 12 yrs old; but no full blown sex. Also MC is reincarnated so he/she is technically older than she is.
Note: I got inspiration to write this story from Tales of a Seductress, Goblin's evolution and few other LitRPG and reincarnation isekai stories. There will be both sex and plot. I hope you are patient enough to stay with me till the end.

Selene is halfway through her eighth century of life but will forever remain sixteen, in appearance. And also in mind.... more>>

Vampires in this reality are a thing; after being so long hidden in the shadows, all sorts of fantasy creatures are revealed to be existing. Some of them, even things which go 'bump' in the night. But it's not all bad; those human scientists have formulated a 'cure' to take the bite out of so many creatures ― and, for those who resist, or are too much for the 'normies' ... there's Solitary.

Having undergone some number of centuries kept within the Solitary block, Selene is once again out in the world. But since she first went in, a large number of things happened to her: summoned to another world and had her race changed to an elf, becoming a hero for a kingdom in that world, and given birth to a number of children too. She had people who cared for her; but also the humans hated her, and made her dead.
Then to come back 'home' at the end of it, just to be back in her cell.

Also since being taken into Solitary, Earth has changed. A lot. Like, exploring space, meeting other humanoid and other races, creating this vast interstellar community ― all of which Selene didn't get to witness. But for her time alone, she's given enough credits to start a life in this new galaxy.

First, she's gonna buy a starship; maybe get a crew and also search for passengers and crew. Then she's gonna just fly away-
