"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (...probably?)... more>>

How would you react if one day you found yourself in an environment running on tropes and clichés?

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this rhetorical question became uncomfortably real on the day he woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic. Without memories, surrounded by characterless placeholders, and with a classic harem protagonist and his various love interests for friends, he tries his best to fit in and figure out what's going on.

That would be difficult enough already, yet his investigation into the rules governing the world, sabotaging the harem tropes, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes, ends up drawing the attention of the world's nebulous narrative...

Reborn into a fantastical RPG-system based world, Fresh is offered a second chance at life. Initially glad to have escaped her old life, she quickly realizes that this new one might not be much better. Her new body is too frail to follow any grand dreams of adventure, her new mind is too dulled to allow any meticulous planning and this new, seemingly colorful, kind world is anything but.

Needing a way to survive in this horrible place, Fresh bands together with some unusual people and they take on an entirely new challenge; running an item shop just outside of the dungeon!

What defines endgame content? Is it raiding epic dungeons to take down the strongest bosses there are, or is it facing off against other players to climb the ladder and become the top PvPer? Is endgame content gathering materials and crafting the strongest and most exotic equipment that there is, or is it all about playing the market and amassing more wealth than everybody else? Some people even argue that fashion and minigames are endgame content!... more>>

Ryouta has already done all of that. Having spent most of his life playing MMO after MMO, he now finds himself wanting to live a virtual life that is far more relaxed and casual than what he is known for.

To Ryouta, the true endgame is fishing.

"Survival of the fittest is easier said than done...why couldn't I have been reborn a bit bigger, huh?"

If waking up in a new world wasn't bad enough, an idealistic teen starts her new life as a newborn dragon not by being embraced by a loving family, but having to escape two hungry kobolds wanting some grilled lizard for breakfast. Now, status screens obscure her vision in a hostile forest filled with vicious magical monsters, as two concerning Titles welcome her to her new life.

Equipped with fragmented memories from her past life and the game-like mechanics of her new reality, the young dragon must face trials and tribulation, undeterred by the reaper's scythe inches from her neck. Despite her challenges, she is determined to find civilization. For nothing will stop her from fulfilling her one true desire: to become an Idol.

Mason the survivalist was always preparing for the end of the world. He just didn’t expect a god-like AI to transform it into a damn video game.

Now he has to pick a ‘class’, survive a ‘tutorial’ (filled with monstrous creatures trying to murder him), and somehow find his brother Blake before the idiot gets himself killed.

OK. Blake’s no idiot. He’s a charming, incredibly lucky, ambitious world-beater. But he was destined for corporate boardrooms, not monster filled forests, and Mason knows he needs to reach him before it’s too late.

But as he claws his way through this new, dangerous world, gaining superhuman abilities and meeting a beautiful woman who desperately needs his help, he begins to realize: it might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

For the time being, this story is on hiatus because I have decided to rewrite it.... more>>

When it is time to start publishing the new version, I hope you all check it out. Please look at my profile page for updates!

--------------------------------------
This is the story of two people, a Human and a Goddess, who lost their memories.  The Goddess, Itarr, was sealed up for hundreds of thousands of years and has regressed to being nothing more than a humanoid-like being of red energy.  The girl, Servi, woke up near a forest and died later that night.  Instead of ceasing to exist, she was brought before Itarr, who spoke of a way for them both to live.

Even though she was content with dying and fading away, Servi took Itarr up on her offer, and their souls became interconnected.  Together, as one being, they ventured forth off into the unknown world.

-----------------------------------------------
What To Expect: After Prologue One and Prologue Two, the story becomes a slow burn, and It's filled with romance and hardships. Because of the story's slow burn-like nature, character growth and development will take time to achieve. The MC-- Servi-- is overpowered, but the tension is still there. Her conflicts, for the most part, are mainly internal in nature. She has her own sets of challenges and mountains to climb, and they are different when compared to the people around her. In short, Servi's life isn't an easy one even when she has the power to destroy an army. When the main couple gets together, expect there to be descriptive sex scenes.

However, there is a content warning because this story contains depictions of gore, rape, and torture, sometimes to an excessive degree.

Thank you for reading this!

And for the glossary, I plan to update it at the end of every Book. And I have pictures for some of the characters. I'd very much like it if you could take a look at them. You can find them in the glossary.

One day, Fragments, dimensions that connect Mu to the real world, begin manifesting in Shiroki City. With that comes disappearances of people who never return.

MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.... more>>

Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to be a coward. He wants to be strong. Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

It all begins here.

The primary ability of a transmigrator is the ability to reincarnate. Each life, each world brings a plethora of new abilities and possibilities which can be assimilated and taken into the next world. A clever transmigrator can build up their abilities in just a few lives, eventually reaching a point where they can masquerade as gods in weaker worlds, become archmages in stronger worlds, and become legends in their own right.... more>>

When Isabelle and her friends are dumped into the world of transmigrators, at first it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them the ability to visit the myriad worlds of the multiverse, grow stronger, and live practically forever, as long as they don’t make a mistake and permanently die. Every world has its own unique aspects, different magic systems to learn and use, and a myriad of interesting things to explore and discover. Each lifetime is unique, and no two worlds are the same.

However, between each life Isabelle and her friends must return to the Market. The place between lives, where transmigrators used to trade Items and Abilities and grow their power. Now, it is ruined. A desiccated shell of the most powerful civilization to exist in the multiverse, with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow fast enough to avoid permanent death.

Note: this chapter is only posted on Royalroad, Scribblehub, and Patreon. If it is anywhere else, it has been posted there without my permission.

What to expect: This is a somewhat slower-paced serial-transmigration story, centered around the adventures of the main character and her friends through various worlds in the multiverse. I want each world to feel like a complete story, so expect the story to take a little longer in each world than some other stories in the serial transmigration genre.

Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
