The Guild Master of Dewhurst has had a rough life. After many years of failure he rises to face his destiny and transform his decrepit Adventurer's Guild into the greatest Guild in all the realms. How? By filling it up with cute female adventurers who get powered up from making love to him, of course.... more>>

Using nothing but his massive intellect, a sharp sense for business, a pair of magic eyes and a dick blessed by the Goddess herself, he'll transform a growing harem of misfits warriors into a team strong enough to defeat the Demon Lord... If the over the top town of Dewhurst doesn't kill them first, that is. <<less

The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again.... more>>

But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close?

The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace.

Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit?

Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra. <<less

PS. It will imply and reference sex and violence but nothing too explicit. There may or may not be sex scenes but those will be quite rare and there will be a warning at the top of the chapter and it will be written in such a way that it will not affect the story if you skip it. If you aren't comfortable with forceful keys and unwilling locks then I suggest you find a different story. (If you don't get what I'm implying click away please.) It won't be the focus of this story but it will come up from time to time, just be prepared for it.

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com as well. <<less

Soon, a comforting doom followed while his vision got darker.

Only to hear a knock after.

Author note:
Okay since the title was misleading, please don't read this series if you don't like good mc's (because the mc here is not a villain) He is more in the middle. So... If you guys think you can see a villain mc here that slaughters everyone without care then you will not like this story

Just like those main characters you'd see in a light novel or manga, I was once summoned to another world to defeat the demon king. ... more>>

And let me tell you, it was hell!

Unlike those main characters who had time to travel the world and enjoy the sights, I didn't! For three long years I had to fight constantly, moving to battlefield after battlefield. Also, unlike those main characters, I didn't have a harem full of beautiful and sexy women. Well, there was one but she was already married and had kid so that doesn't count!

All those exciting experiences authors write about for their main character when they get isekai'd into another world are all lies I tell you! Lies!

But I won't deny, there were a few good times I had as a summoned hero, albeit, they were far in-between.

Therefore, if I was given another chance to become a summoned hero, I'd turn it down in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately, however, luck wasn't on my side.

Who would've thought, a few years later, after being able to travel back to my world, I, while attending a funeral via a prison furlough, would be summoned back into the world I was once summoned too?

I sure as hell didn't.

However, there's a twist to this. Instead of me being the hero that was supposed to be summoned, I was actually an extra! The ones who were really summoned was both my childhood friend Alice and her best friend Kari! <<less

A friend is a great thing to have, specially if its a bestfriend who has your back in everything that you do.... more>>

From sharing food from the cafeteria and giving favors to unreasonable request.

From sharing secrets, hobbies and ambitions.

From getting into one's own brawls as back-up and giving advice to problems.

From giving important information, such as who likes who, girl's three sizes and their backgrounds.

And from setting up the confession to the girl you like.

That was the life that our MC had led but that all changed when he got screwed over by the very friend he had supported all this time.

When he awoke, he became the thing he detest now more than ever in a new world and worst of all, in the world of 'their' favorite novel where his new identity essentially becomes cannon fodder.

"Screw this! I'm going to do this my way now!"

He cursed and swore to live as he wants in this new life, discarding his previous life's label.

When a dying young woman’s last-ditch effort for another chance at life unexpectedly pays off, she Awakens as Zia, a kobold in the middle of her coming-of-age ritual. Freed of the prison of her former life and determined to make the most of it, Zia throws herself into her new existence. After all, now that she's in an epic fantasy world of sigils, dragons, and power-granting gemstones, what's not to love?... more>>

Well, a few things, actually.

For one, she’s got the terrible reputation of her body’s previous occupant to contend with. Then there’s the confusing unfamiliarity of kobold culture, the terrifying monsters, the acid, the heights…oh, and the shadow of war looming on the horizon.

But hey, still beats being human.

This is a romantic, polyamorous, isekai progression fantasy about a pansexual human-turned-kobold attending kobold magic school. Expect a story with light litRPG aspects that gradually builds from slice-of-life into something more epic.

Author here, as you know I made a novel it was more or less successful so I can't say if I'm good or not. As you can see in the summary, I suck at explaining so I will change it sooner or later. but the summary was near what I wanted it to be. <<less
