What would you do if one day you were told you were one of the chosen who would have to battle to save the world?... more>>

Akio was an average guy, having moved to the big city from his humble town in the mountains. Sure, his IT freelancing job wasn't making him big money, and he wasn't exactly a hit with the ladies, but life wasn't all that bad... until one day a mysterious angel-like being visited him to tell him the Earth was in danger. Many would be chosen to fight this fate, but would any succeed?

Of course, if one could have the usual cheat skills everything would work out, wouldn't it? So why was his skill like a garbage pay-to-win mobile game? Akio would have to not only hone his skills and build his Astral Empire, but he would need to raise money, secure land and become a player on Earth too! Facing this challenging task alone would surely be impossible, so Akio needs to make strong and beautiful allies to take on all those who would oppose him.

Who would that be, you ask? The old myths of Earth are returning, alien invaders are waiting outside on the Astral Tides, Cultivators are looking for their next faces to slap, Demons are whispering poison into the ears of anyone who would listen, and whoever was trying to save Earth by granting various people powers were making some really awful choices...

Join Akio as he starts at the bottom of the ladder, clawing his way to the top and discovering one can change their destiny, so long as they work hard (and have a boat-load of money!).

[This story is a modern world LitRPG where I try and balance the real world, the other world and various character-development scenarios. The pace can be described as 'measured', as there is a lot of 'slice-of-life' style events to balance 'number-go-up' and Territory capture]

What can you expect from this story? MC and side characters who are flawed and make mistakes, but ultimately grow and change, bettering themselves and the world around them. Yes, the MC does start off a bit weak and whiny, but he does get over it as the story progresses. It's a slow burn though.

Likewise Harem and romance. it is most definitely harem, though again it's a slow burn and not easy to reach. There are some r18 scenes with them, but these don't happen until a fair way into the story.

Real-world consequences of power. I'm trying to explore this slowly, so expect politics down the line.

Base-building in both the real and the other world, growing power, money, influence and more. it's a slow burn but a focus.

Cultivators, Faeries, Demons, Gods and more, though again, it takes a while for more and more of these to appear.

Update schedule - Minimum of 3 Chapters Per Week, between 3-5 Per Week is the aim. This is the schedule since it is now up-to-date with Royal Road. <<less

Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns!... more>>

Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Vexomir Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find?

Waking up only to find that she's reincarnated into a world very reminiscing of a game that she used to play, Yuki is suddenly thrust into a worldwide conflict. To ensure the longevity of her newfound motherland, Yuki will have no choice but to flip this war upside down. If only to finally has some closure for past life also.

So buckle up, strap your helmet tight, and keep your rifle loaded and on safe. This is not your bog-standard story about overpowered characters on a battlefield, no. This is a story about warfare in all its bloodied glory, the leader that calls the shot, the soldiers that execute them, and the nation that's backing them up. And along the way, sprinkle those a healthy dose of beautiful maidens, lily/futa romances, and build a harem.

This is not gonna be a quick and decisive run, no. We're in this one for the long haul. Hail, Ironblood!

Since this story has included elements and characters from different series. I will be listing this as a fanfiction. So far, I've included elements from Honkai Impact 3 and Ace Combat.

"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power."... more>>

At the tender age of ten, Kagami Ken was thrust into a life of excruciating pain, burdened by a unique illness that haunted him relentlessly.

Years later, a severe episode renders him comatose for six whole months!

Good news, he wakes up. Bad news? An unshakable intuition foretells that his days were numbered.

Driven by an irrepressible longing to seize the moments he's always been denied, he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. In a twist of fate, a surge of altruism compels him to make an astonishingly generous donation to an unsuspecting charity organization.

Little does he know that this act of kindness will capture the attention of a God-like being!

With aid from fate and his powerful acquaintance, he now finds himself reborn as Reivan Aizenwald — the half-human, half-warbeast baby of the Aizen Kingdom's royal family!

On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What chaos will he bring to this new world!?

Synopsis #2:
Tired of cookie-cutter isekai protags whom you care nothing about?

Well, have I got news for you!

[Glimpse of Eternity] is a character-driven [Reincarnation Isekai] story where I — the author — aim to have YOU care about the main character!

Feel happy when good things happen to him! Become saddened by the tragedies that afflict him...

Laugh along with him as he laughs and cry when he cries!

What are you waiting for? Give it a shot!

====================================
Disclaimers and Miscellaneous Information:

[This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated. It's like that thing One Piece did. Y'know, 25 years of filler? Goddamn. Except here, it's just 200+ pages.]

[Chapter Length: 2000 (It can only be MORE, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)]

[Chapter Release: Sunday, 11:46 pm(GMT+8). Depending on certain factors, I may post more.]

[I have sworn to the heavens that I will write this story to completion. Unless my story ends before I can finish this one, I will continue.]

[If you absolutely cannot stand stories too similar to anime/light novels, then please don't waste your time and find something else. The story's not actually styled as a light novel, but it shares some themes. Hell, the MC is Japanese. The signs are already there, so don't ignore them.]

Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! (Started on May 9, 2022!)

Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with general grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve.

Constructive criticism is also very welcome.

Sophia and the group are back on the road and finally have set out to do what they planned to do hundreds of chapters ago. It's time to explore the world they live in and maybe more.... more>>

Winter has been long and comfortable but also a little boring. As the temperature climbed, the desire to explore and travel soared just as much. With the group of friends (and more) having significantly grown, everyone can't wait to see more of the world they love while having a great time with each other.

Ridiculous magic and destroying every speck of common sense that's left obviously can't go unmentioned either, can it? Don't worry, -Boosted Restart- was merely a warmup for Sophia. She hasn't shown her full power yet. Far from it. The things she still has to learn from and about magic far outweigh everything she already knows. Much to the displeasure of the last remaining wielders of common sense.

Notes:
-----

Just like the prequel, Boosted Restart, this story is mainly about characters and their interactions with each other. Lots of mundane events with lots of fluff and many cute girls (and Fen) enjoying each other's company (and more~)
I'll try to give the adventure tag more justice this time and try some experiments here and there, but this story will continue to be a slow-paced slice-of-life tale where not much happens.

If you're looking for something fast-paced with lots of thrilling action, fighting, and/or epic tales, I -HIGHLY- suggest you close this page and search elsewhere. You won't be happy here.

This story is for me to unwind, and so I write about things I like and help me relax. That's not action, but cute girls doing cute (and occasionally spicy~) things together.

To everyone this sounds appealing to:
Welcome, and have a great time~! <<less

In Bleach, with mediocre talent, the protagonist has been flatlining for thirty years.... more>>

But with the sudden completion of the Zanpakuto conception, he has become a "sword person."

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "unrestricted swords."

Since Soul Society does not allow two identical Zanpakutos to exist, then I just won't use my Zanpakuto, and that should be fine, right?

Who is the strongest in the Zanjutsu category: Zangetsu or Zangetsu: Black?

Who is the number one in Assassination Techniques: Ichimonji or Suzumebachi?

Which is stronger: Kinshara or Senbonzakura?

Can the Yami no Tachi Shura and Yami no Tachi Rasetsu compete for the title of the strongest Zanpakuto?

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "swords," all the "swords" in the world are mine. Yamamoto, even you, the head of the 1st Division, "Black," cannot take away my "swords."

Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside.  After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whole world is flipped on its head when the heavens crack like stained glass, and 1/150th of the world's population is transformed into creatures and granted an unusual Leveling System.  A large subsection of the world population is turned into beasts, fae, or aberrant people, while others are granted powers from historical and mythological figures, such as King Arthur, Saint Charlemagne, or the dreaded Leviathan.  Wait, now there are alien toads... more>> popping out of Crystal Gateways?

Having to put petty problems to the side, Rachel has to figure out what is happening as the whole world tries to do the same, but she has a few secret weapons, two of which are on the top of her head; she uses her newly acquired hearing to scope out the changes people are experiencing and gathers the wealth of information at her college campus to plot a way forward as martial law is instituted.  If aliens and spontaneously becoming a moon bunny hare wasn't enough, popular gods seem to have something to do with the new System in this urban fantasy adventure.  Blessed by the mysterious goddess Ceridwen, our MC will have to combat the divine manipulations with her most potent weapon: misfortune.  Being an unlucky hare, rather than a lucky bun, what will Rachel's lousy fortune bring both her and her enemies because even the gods fear our Mythickin Lunar Bun Hare!

First order of things. Steal some appropriate clothes.

Third order of things. Try to find .... Wait, is that a half-dead child in the alleyway? What the heck?

The boy looks on the verge of death. She cannot bring herself to leave the child alone. It's fine. She will still find a way back. She will still go back home. She will just take the little bun with her.

Turns out, the little bun is a Prince. And his father wants him at the Palace. But hell would freeze over before Sanaya let anyone take her child from her.

This is the story of a woman who is just trying to protect her found family while looking for a way home and ends up being entangled in a big web of politics, harem intrigue, assassination plots, and one infuriating man who is at the center of it all.

Like most Earthlings, Jack Trades had never thought too deeply about eternity. Busy with his PhD thesis, a vibrant social life, and a loving family, he had little time for such frivolous thoughts. But, on January 1st, 2025, everything changed.

With Earth’s induction into the grandiose Universal Game, a mysterious system descended into the minds of thousands, drafting them into the unforgiving, mind-breaking, and death-riddled Tutorial Levels. In legions of one thousand, these new Players fought side-by-side through the treacherous tutorial, hopeful to return to Earth.

Families waited anxiously for their loved ones to return. And then, miraculously, the Players returned with harrowing news of the dangers that approached Earth.

All except for one player—one player who did not return.

They join the local Adventurers Guild, seeking to unravel the secrets of this fantastical realm and the ancient gateway's creators. As their quests reveal the potent forces of magic, they inadvertently entangle in the volatile politics between local rivalling factions.

And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on. ... more>>

The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

Yet, underneath this “Gemeinplatzer Dream” is a disgusting truth.

To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

This is the first volume of the novel-length adaptation of the John Brown Isekai. <<less
