What a wrong way to reincarnate after being murdered by one's best friend!... more>>

Nekohiko's throat was slit as he was ascending his throne as the Supreme Divine Emperor. A moment later, his murderer claimed that very throne for himself. To add the insult to the injury -- Nekohiko's name was erased from all the history books as though he had never existed.

Driven by intense resentment, Nekohiko refused to die. He reincarnated. He had to find out how someone who loved him and who he loved back could destroy him so utterly along with everything Nekohiko stood for.

The only problem was that he reincarnated as a... tree. No, much worse than that. A cut tree. A simple wooden log sent to a workshop to be shaped into, let's say, a table, or a chair, or maybe -- if fortunate -- into a bookshelf for the new Emperor.

Until Nekohiko meets a soul that understands his pain and is willing to help a poor tree log gain shape that is far more fitting for a human bent on nothing but sweet, slow revenge.

Or, even better -- several shapes.

I will release a chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

See the Glossary for more Information about the romance (ML section). Or in general -- for pictures and miscellaneous stuff about the book. ^^

The story is a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns and will involve a lot of mystery-solving to understand the motivations and goals of different characters. Action sequences will happen when the plot calls for them, but they will all require buildup to greater impact. The main themes are emotional and psychological explorations of identity, desire, fate, and intent. Characters will grow and develop across present arcs but flashbacks to provide context and mystery clues to their behaviors will be in order, yet without overpowering the present narrative (Flashbacks are episodic slice-of-life and do not have their own plot line).

Normal transmigrator.... more>>

Whichever way you look at it, aren't these a recipe for disaster? Fan Shuangxi did not expect she will transmigrate one day, even more so in a novel series she heard but never read. What’s more tragic is it’s a BL universe! Lah! As a woman who transmigrated wouldn’t that mean she’s going to be a cannon fodder?!

Granny: Do not worry, my lady. You can still return home
Shuangxi: Please return me home ಥ﹏ಥ
Granny: There is one tiny condition
Shuangxi: Tell me, I’ll do it!
Granny: You have to first give birth to the young heir of the clan
Shuangxi: ...

Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld.... more>>

With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her.

This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/54937/zeroth-knight/

The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on.

This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of.

I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/55437/escape-the-knight/

When Marco woke up, he knew that this would be a shitty day, and when he got the call about a protest in the middle of the town to protect a freaking old tree, his fate was already sealed.... more>>

The closer he got to the location, the darker the sky became, but Marco, being the way he was, only cared about his side job as a mediator and how he could find a solution to the problem.

The answer to this, however, was different from what he had expected.

"Wait, I died?!"

"What do you mean by reincarnation as a seed??"

Four years ago, Alex was one of the first players of an experimental VR game called Rune, where death came suddenly and all the players had were a pitifully small health pool and a few runes nobody knew how to use. Today, the situation is better: Crafters manage item creation in the cities, while Fighters take those items into the world’s portals, slowly expanding the reach of civilization in spite of the randomly appearing monsters.... more>>

With civilization comes systems of power, and in the meantime, Alex lost her position, if not the prestige. Then, a routine job leads to the unexpected, and Alex is left to rebuild herself into a new image. This time, with other powers already established… and nipping at her heels.

When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix.... more>>

Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive.

But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question...

It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right?

[Things to expect:

- A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes.

- Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now.

- Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments.

- I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇

- Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea.] <<less

Hi there, and thanks for dropping by to check out my series. You can read the most up to date chapters on Royal Road at: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/59096/imprimis-son

*** Some notes about Imprimis Son ***

*First and foremost, this is the story that I've wanted to write. I'm writing to my taste, and to what I wish I could consume as the reader. Our tastes may differ, and that's okay!

*There are gamelit and litrpg elements to this story, but it does not overshadow the dark fantasy roots of the series.

*I take a lot of inspiration from manga and anime that I've enjoyed over the years, primarily HxH, Berserk, Tower of God, JJK, FMAB, Bleach, and a number of others. Let me know if you spot any references to those shows in the novel ^_^

*Towards chapter 26, a Tower story is introduced along with another character, so if that tickles your fancy then there's that to look forwards to.

*I've been writing for a while now, but this is my first long-format work. I appreciate any and all feedback and criticism, and I hope that you'll bear with me as I gain my footing and improve as an author.

*This is a bit of a slow burner. Action and adventure abound, but so do character arcs and progression. Towards the latter chapters (20's), I've sorted out the pacing to a degree that I find pleasant, but the earlier ones might seem to drag on a tad. This will be rectified in a later full-scale revision of the novel and has been amended numerous times in the last several weeks, but the early chapters will remain in their present state for the time being.

*Have a wonderful time reading ^_^ <<less

Konoshira Mai is a tester working under the entity responsible for managing the creation and health of new worlds. A single world can have thousands of simulations alone making tedious and boring. The boon is a seemingly infinite lifespan in exchange for giving up your old life. This exchange is more than worth something as ‘small’ as writing off a little thing like lifespan according to the {World System}. Not everyone is suited to this type of work and training is expensive afterall!... more>>

This was all deskwork with digital visualizations of the data until what seems like not long ago to Konoshira. Suddenly, mental health in the workplace became a major concern after centuries of such tedium. Konoshira was a rare and talented office worker who excelled and even enjoyed this mundane work.

Konoshira was promoted to her chagrin as part of the control group. Her and roughly 100 other employees received a {Nanny System} and now directly enter simulations rendered as if they were real worlds. These {Nanny Systems} were also programmed to make this new variety of tests as easy to understand as possible compared to stark data. Konoshira has spent the last 10 years confronting tasks to either protect, destroy, or redirect {Plotlines}.

Should she consider herself lucky that she was assigned to the partner group and hadn’t had to tangle with these messy subjects alone?

Yan BarCarran has never felt at home. She’s an orphan among her extended family, a spacer among the ground dwellers while at school, and a one-in-a-million oddity born with the ability to use the God-given power. Still, at least at the Academy, an elite theological school where those with the power are sent to train, she knows where she stands. Her peaceful life falls apart when she receives her apprenticeship invitation at graduation.... more>>

Aymon Sandreas is the de facto leader of the Empire. He commands hundreds of powerful starships and keeps order among the planets under his rule. He’s also getting older, and the time has come for him to choose apprentices, one of whom will eventually become his chosen successor. He picks three students: the spiritual and talented Yan, the mysterious and troubled Kino, and the impulsive and striving Sid.

Now in the dead center of politics, Yan faces danger from would-be assassins and political rivals. If she doesn’t learn well enough and fast enough, she’ll die before she ever has a chance to make a difference. Between her fellow apprentices, the reformed criminal tasked with teaching her survival, and even her powerful master, Yan isn’t sure who to trust in this dangerous new world.

Two factions fought for dominance. One faction was led by Iwashita Tokihiko who was the father of Sen Iefusa’s mother. And the other faction was led by Iwashita Takasue who was Iwashita Tokihiko’s younger cousin.

Iwashita Takasue lusted for the head position and led a number of rebellious clan elders as well as allies to attack the Tokihiko Faction, dragging Sen Iefusa’s parents into the crossfire.

With the death of his parents, Sen Iefusa – who was away from home at the time – vowed to take revenge against Iwashita Takasue. Gathering his men as well as some survivors from his father’s army, the young lord besieged the Takasue Faction.
