Two worlds, deeply entwined together spin through the endless void... one, slowly dying; the other vibrant and fairly sparking with life and energy. One steeped in the forgotten magics of ages past; the other locked in an endless struggle for mundane survival.... more>>

Elder gods and deities from nearby worlds and universes watch helplessly as two entire realities slowly begin to drift farther away, spiraling towards an unknown doom. A mighty hero, wise and bold is needed...

To live a quiet life away from high society, 14-year old Alex left home and created a new identity. She changed her name as well as her gender. ... more>>

The catch? She'd lose it all if anyone found out.

To prevent exposure, Alex stayed in the side lines and avoided unnecessary interactions. Her cold demeanor drove the other students away. They eventually learned to leave her alone. After that, it didn't take long for two years to pass by as she spent her days in blissful peace.

Her secluded life had kept her safe. 

Until…

That shattered when Logan Parker caught her with extensions in her hair, make-up on her face, heels on her feet and boobs in her dress.

Not one to give up, Alex needed to fool him.

But how?

How will she keep this web of lies afloat? Will her true identity stay as a secret? Or will her borrowed time be over? 

Take a peek and discover the biggest secret in this fiction world!

When an accident causes the early death of two young women, one is chosen to become a hero, a saviour, and a servant of the God of Heroes!... more>>

This is not her story. This is the story of Valeria, whose soul clung to her friend’s, and who was dragged into a new world where her wandering spirit was claimed by the Goddess of Darkness.

And so, one who doesn’t belong grows to become the servant of the Dark Goddess, a servant—definitely not a daughter—who will usher in a new age of despair and disgust.

The only problem is, she’s really bad at the whole “evil” thing, not that she’s unwilling to do her best to please her adoptive mom Dark Goddess. <<less

Two minds; one body.
Two souls; merged perceptions.... more>>

I thought I knew what it meant to be human, until I crossed those boundaries.
I believed I knew my limits, until I expanded all I am.

My senses mapped over hers, and I learned how incredible her alien world was for us.
Her senses mapped over mine, and she learned how wondrous my alien world was for us.
Our worlds overlap. Our minds awaken and link together. Our hearts synchronize.
Our realities hold truth, in separation and in unity.
This is all because of what she did to me, and also what I decided for myself thereafter.

She and I are the most unusual pair we've ever known, a Human and an Altiri, each far apart, yet brought together by an incredible power. This is where my story begins. It's more than a crazy romance story; our intertwined lives is the embodiment of how I live, in this crazy world we call normal, with our secrets left untold.

This is our story. It has a beginning, but not an ending. Romance isn't all about walking away in the sweet sunset; it's messy, complex, and downright terrifying at times. No life is perfect. No relationship is easy. Still, I would never trade it for anything. Join me, as I breathe life into these moments, memory by memory.

They are opposed by the Resistance, a gathering of various gangs and tribes in the Ravaged Lands, under the leadership of a mysterious person named King. Among the members of the 3rd Army is wolfkin Aranea, a former member of the Ice Fang order. She hopes to rise through the ranks and become a powerful person to avenge the death of her father and the madness of her mother.

Commander Liao Shan gets back to the Imperial capital with his cavalry troop after a month in the badlands, to find he has a new mission: escorting a convoy of treasure to the Kingdom of Qiu, an ally of the Empire in the far north-west. To complicate matters, the treasure includes the beautiful young Sixth Prince Yan Jinhai, forced against his will to enter the harem of the vicious King. As the journey progresses, Liao Shan finds his conscience and his heart increasingly in conflict with his orders. And it doesn’t help that the young Prince, kept a virtual prisoner in the Imperial Palace, is hell-bent on escape.... more>>

As the journey continues and the relationship between them deepens, events are building which will rock the Empire and turn both their lives upside down. <<less

Kaito Miyahara is almost done with university. Only one final project remains, one that he has been putting off for three years. If he doesn't... more>> start now, he will be stuck in university for one more year, something that will further tarnish his resume. In a future where a simple failure is enough to destroy your career, he can't let that happen, but he can't think of anything.
Miraculously, he runs into Sanae and Risa, two girls whose sole goal is to become idols. For Kaito, the only way of making it work in the current world is to think outside the box. To think big. To think galactically. And so he becomes the manager of the first, galactical idol group: Blostars.

This is the journey of Edwin as he travels through the two continents of the world of Adosinda. He is a healer, freshly graduated, and he would do everything he can to help those around him, be they humans or other beings.... more>>

This is an adventure travel novel. Slow burn, from bromance to romance. And just healing and solving problems in general. <<less

This is the tale of an epic battle between the embryo of a hero and the egg of a demon lord.... more>>

Okay, so perhaps 'epic' is overselling it a bit, given that there are serious mobility issues on both sides of the conflict, but they're trying their best, bless them.

Then perhaps it is the tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship?

But again, the way a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally means that it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait.

Then it's the tale of a pair of new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them, particularly when people start receiving involuntary flower-based makeovers? Of an unborn hero speedrunning the plot so efficiently that it'll all be over before she even gets around to being born?

Yes, that one's more accurate.

Also, some numbers go up, with accompanying dings. And one (highly important) number goes way down.
———————————
This story was born as a complete joke on discord, out of someone complaining about womb arcs and how utterly ridiculous they were. I responded by threatening to write a story that was entirely womb arc. And then, because I'm a bit silly sometimes, I did. It's not pure skill grinding, though; I was nice enough to let her have some interaction with the real world. Nevertheless, at time of writing, I seem to be averaging two dings per chapter.

Ever since they were little kids in kindergarten, Nola would not use the bathroom without her best friend Elon next to her because she was too afraid to go by herself. Even now, as high school students, she STILL can't go the bathroom without Elon beside her. He's getting fed up with it.... more>>

NOTE:
Due to the subject matter, it may contain some mentions of human waste, but I try not limit the toilet humor as much as possible. There are mentions of it every now and again, but this is not the purpose of the story so it is kept to a minimum.

Update:
...that was until Chapter 59 when it's starts becoming a bit more prominent. It is still being mitigated to be mentioned as less as possible, but do be aware.

I swear I'm not into scat play or golden showers. <<less

Madelyn Taylor thinks she's nothing special. She's just trying to get through boarding school one day at a time. But after many strange occurrences, sleeplessness,... more>> daydreams and particularly violent hayfever; she realises not all is what it seems.

So what happens if you feel like you belong nowhere... then find out you do belong somewhere... and that place should be impossible? There’s no such thing as magic or werewolves, especially only a few hundred miles north of Toronto, right? And what could be in Jesse’s missing past that would make him fit in there?... more>>

Jesse’s been having a tough time at home with his adopted parents, and even life on the streets, with the one friend he trusts, has more appeal. During a particularly bad moment, he finds himself some way north of the city he lives in, and things just keep getting stranger from there: Haven, the village he stumbles over, is not only primarily pagan, but a substantial percentage of the population can do insane things. Like manipulating light into doorways linking places, or fixing injuries with a touch, or changing into wolves.

The early part of his life has been a blank to him as long as he can remember, but the more time he spends in Haven, the more hints there are that a place like this is where he belongs. But how did he come to be alone several years before, with no memory? Is there unfinished business lurking in his past that can come back to haunt him in his new life? And how much danger are his Haven friends in because of him?

Very much an Ugly Duckling tale. Only with fewer ducks. ;)

This was my first finished novel. Comfort playing with gender and experimenting with other diversity came later. There *are* intimate poly relationships and a sort of non-exclusive MM friendship-with-benefits. V0.01 of Black Wolf was written during the mid-1990's, while I was in my late teens/early 20s. While it has undergone three or four major overhauls since then, updating it to take place later proved not to be a viable option. I realize some readers may find concepts like the absence of cell phones and Internet rather alien.

** Content warnings: minimal gore/violence (largely wolves fighting bad things), occasional bad language, the only sex is a non-explicit masturbation scene. The MC does start off homeless and there are a couple of mild scenes around this. References to drug/alcohol abuse, childhood abuse, and thoughts of self-harm, but not described in depth and not shown as positive. There are a few things I might do differently these days (Naomi in particular - love her but don't know that she's well-handled) so please be forgiving! ** <<less

Nolan is an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates and sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn’t be Chelsea Arnold’s problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student.... more>>

Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She’s frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan’s Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together.

It’s hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn’t help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs.

What an extraordinary our world is, full of mysteries and wonders, loaded with spectacles and allures. Yet brutal and merciless.

This is the codex of creatures, contains epic tales of exotic beings; cruel, savage, sometimes tender, and merciful, but never careless or trusting.

***Salvation***

Innyana range, home, and a hunting ground for numerous beings. A place for predators where the inattentive can only be prey.

Something is going on in this tiny village near the deadly Crocotta's cliff.
Who is the newcomer who enchanted the inhabitants by his arrival?
And why some people can never get out of this place?

Author's notes :
1- English is not my first language.
2- I am a student and full-time worker, that's why I am slow at writing.
3- This is the first draft hence there is a lot of typos and mistakes, forgive me for this. I am working to be better.
4- This is a high and dark fantasy novel read at your own risk.
5- Enjoy. <<less

An action/adventure type story, with a bit of saucy romance to come later on. This picks up from exactly where my other story, 'The Shard', left off, which is a short prelude to this one, introducing a few of the main characters and their back stories, you may want to read that first to get acquainted.

(Side note: I use song titles as chapter titles (With the artist in brackets at the footnote of the chapter). These are either meant to represent the mood of the chapter or usually the song at one point or another has got me through some tough times and means a lot to me.

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

New chapters Monday through Friday! Complete at 180K words, wrapping up in late September! <<less

Diets...well, Thomas must have gone through them all. He would lose some weight, then gain it back, plus about as much of the extra weight. As a receptionist at the Orestria adventurer's guild, he doesn't get the chance to exercise much. Not that he can, seeing as his endurance is low. ... more>>

Then, just as he stopped a new diet, he gets told that an S ranked vampire is offering seminars and couching on weight loss. With no other alternative and not wanting to gain all his two kilograms that he had lost with the last diet, Thomas decides to give it a chance. All Lucius asks for is one litter of blood every three days as payment. And, so, Thomas learns about the magical zone.

And then he puts it to the test. Then, the other diet that he cooks up. After that, the next...

No smut. This is a fat to fit journey with meal plans. I am currently on this diet, so the MC's progress will be the same as my own. You can easily follow the meal plans, if you need to.

The story will be updated at 7 am EEST. It is a book, 70 chapters, and complete. <<less

In a world where magic is abound and every human can use magic, Cydney Yen is an anomaly--she is what people call a "magic-less freak".... more>>

When she discovers Cydney's hidden ability to perform magic on very specific items, she recruits her into her questing team. Little does she know, Cydney harbors a dangerous secret that will threaten to wreck both their lives.

Very anime, very action-packed, very fun, and most of all, very gay. Perfect for fans of Naruto, Fairy Tail, and Isekai stories.

All Sada wants is for Arven to have a mother's love. After a trip through time to the future, she is given the gift to bring her son to her; only this gift proves to be nothing more than something that wants to steal her humanity.
