[I was reborn too weak to be an adventurer, so I opened an item shop by the dungeon instead!]... more>>

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!

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 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...

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.

Kazuki Arata, like most people, dismisses the explanations for those disappearances as urban legends. However, with the appearance of the transfer student Sayaka Uehara and his unexpected trip to a Fragment, the wheels of fate begin to turn on this new chapter of his life. <<less

Brody and his best friend Tony have been having a bit of a tough time lately. Neither can really put a finger on why though. Perhaps they just need to shake things up a bit. Luckily Tony, master prankster that he is, has come up with the best idea for an April Fools' gag to play on their roommates ever: he and Brody are going to turn themselves into girls. Like, as a prank, y’know? It’s funny. That’s all this is, please don’t read anything more into it. Just two regular bros being girls (as a prank).... more>>

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!

The story has been taken down for publishing to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested, you can read them here: https://www.amazon.com/The-Blood-Demons-Retirement/dp/B0BXYJB2MJ/... more>>

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

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.

Emily has a pretty normal life: go to school, study, beat up the bullies who try to start shit, go home, spend time with family. Nothing out of the ordinary here, at all.

This is a smut story, meaning very NSFW, and meant only for those who are 18 and older. CW: Noncon, Coercion, Smut. Also, make sure to check the tags for others. I've been told that this story can come across a bit dark, particularly if things like mind control, noncon, and dubcon aren't really your thing.

Edit: I'm writing a reimagining of this story currently. It begins similarly but diverges into its own story quite quickly. If you enjoyed this one, consider checking it out! https://www.scribblehub.com/series/783344/succubus-tail-the-under-side/ <<less

I've been stuck in a hospital bed for the last 3 years, I can't talk, move anything including my own eyes and all I have... more>> to look at is a blank wall.

More than 30 stone of muscles and bones, the best of goat, cat, and squirrel (do not underestimate them) merged with a stale soul using outlawed magic; appearing on a battlefield, with more strength and endurance than the centaurs. The next step for the Kwal armies. The signs were clear.... more>>

But the capitulation came before she was awaken. And everybody's first thought was 'how cute', by unanimous vote of either children, healers, clerics, or mages. It certainly wasn't because Kiara remembered being pushed in front of a subway train during rush hour and couldn't speak a word. Even with claws out and fangs bared, their scare would last only seconds. Otherwise cute.

Now, she had to find her way to fit into a human society with her unique body. And seize the chances it offers to her.

Little fighting, heavy on medieval slice of life of the semi-human main character. No game elements.
