A quick note before the synopsis: This story is not written in the style of a novel. I've seen the style being compared to a DnD campaign so if that's not something you would enjoy reading, you probably will not like this story.... more>>

EDIT: As of Chapter 639, I changed the writing style. It's much closer to standard writing now. I'm not sure if I will go back and update all previous chapters to the new style. It would take a lot of time and I would rather spend that time writing new ones instead of changing old ones.

Also, I write this story for my friends to read and Scribble Hub is a convenient place for them to read it instead of me sending them the individual documents for every chapter. So, you can read it, or don't. It doesn't matter to me. As long as I enjoy writing it and my friends enjoy reading it, that's all that matters to me. This story was never originally going to see any kind of public release. Now for the synopsis.

BTS 1 Synopsis:
118 years ago, Earth was ravaged by a major war between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Now, a young man named Zeth, who has just discovered he has magic abilities, finds himself faced with helping Heaven to prevent another invasion of Earth by Hell. Zeth and his new friends must journey through the world, different dimensions, and the divine realm to put a stop to the threats that face the world and perhaps answer the biggest question of all, what caused the conflict between Heaven and Hell in the first place? This is a journey that must go beyond the stars!

BTS 2 synopsis down at the bottom.

***

Beyond The Stars is a story inspired by battle shonen mangas (as well as my enjoyment of romance) but is darker than shonen stories usually are. I began writing it in November 2014 and the story is still ongoing to this day. The story is fully planned out so nothing I add is done as I go. The only exception is the moment to moment parts of fights. Consider this story a "word manga" as I write this story like it would be an actual manga.

Also I love the use of foreshadowing so always keep an eye out for anything that looks like foreshadowing.

I do make use of Scribble Hub's Glossary feature where I will put the list of arcs (and chapter numbers in those arcs) as well as a list of characters and their descriptions. Currently, it only has characters that have been drawn but soon I'm going to take some time to add all of the characters.

BTS 2 Synopsis: (Chapter 575 and onward)

Following the defeat of the Dark Goddess and peace returning to Earth, the threat of the abyss begins to loom. Zeth, Sasha, and the other heroes must travel to other planets in the galaxy as well as the Divine World itself to find a way to stop it, or else lose the entire galaxy to the abyss. <<less

It's been a couple of months since the incident at the Brimstone Institute of Demonics, where a dreaded Devil held the school's populace hostage and forced one of its staff to fight him, one-on-one. Though much time has passed since Cobalt Trayer ripped Diate's head clean from his shoulders, he remains haunted by the sanguine memories of that day, and finds himself struggling more and more with the infernal pain deep in his stomach.

As stress begins to pile up, between his students' upcoming final exams and his own personal struggles, Cobalt finds himself suddenly becoming the victim of his own reputation as he is sought out and tracked down by forces unseen.

The afflictions of an Incubus carry many ramifications, and he will be judged for them. <<less

Rina Saeki is a beautiful, yet thoroughly burned out office worker. Toiling away at a job she hates for a boss who seems to despise her, she's been ground down over the years to the point where she finds it hard to enjoy *anything*. Even the clear affection of an adorable co-worker can't break through to her, she's far too tired to even *think* about a committed relationship.... more>>

Eager to break out of the malaise of corporate life, Rina risks it all on a dubious succubus summoning ritual. She's fully aware that it likely won't work, but she can't find it in her to care, it's the first thing she's been excited about in years.

When the ritual, against all odds, actually works, Rina's terrified of what the haughty, disinterested succubus she summons might do to her. Still, the two find unexpected common ground, and after a night of fun together, they agree to live by each other's side. This comes at a cost, however, and Rina finds herself transformed into a succubus, and bound to Haqua forevermore.

Now dealing with an altered body and crumbling inhibitions, Rina's determined to make this life far more exciting than the one she's led up until now, and finds herself immersed in pleasure she never imagined possible, all with a *very* loving succubus by her side. <<less

The summoning circle was ready. Each sigil had been meticulously drawn. Candles lined the edges, and the golden chalice awaited his sacrificial offer. Gellin Zelian was ready. Almost instinctively, he knew that he stood on a precipice. Though whether it would be his first step toward power or the beginning of his downfall, he wasn't sure. What he was certain of was that, for better or worse, it would be a... transformative experience.

A smutty 18+ trans story with plot! This is a reimagining of the original Succubus Tail, starting out with the same concept as the original but quickly diverging into its own story. (This is not a sequel, and reading the original story isn't required.) The smutty parts are admittedly a bit sparse in the first few chapters, but pick up later! While there is a lot of nudity, teasing, and such throughout, I've marked the more *explicit* chapters with an [E].

"Death was a matter of some inconvenience to Démia, in the way picking the wrong color dress might inconvenience me. One supposes that self-resurrection must be a handy talent for a hero, especially the only hero in the Corrupt plane of Barakna. Of course, that self-regeneration comes with a monstrous price tag; a price I would someday pay myself. ... more>>

"I must admit that I was not sorry, at the time, that I was the sword that killed her.

"We had been close, but we had had a falling out, what with Démia letting herself be sent to Barakna as war booty and her killing my fiancé, our brother Connal. Yes, brother. We were all members of the Imperial family and incest was encouraged in the Eden family. Don't judge. In my grief, I began experimenting with shapechanging myself into enchanted materials. I impressed and amazed everyone and I earned considerable praise which somewhat lightened my heart. Alas, my enchanting master became obsessed with one of those materials and he captured me and transformed me into a sword. An embarrassing inconvenience but one which became a great deal more serious when a Demonkin enchanter linked me with a private hell and turned me into the soul-eating sword, Soulwyrm. Such a prison defied even my skills at shapechanging.

"However, when Cael Warwick killed my sister Démia with Soulwyrm, she discovered my predicament and vowed she would free me before escaping my hell-prison and resurrecting herself. To my surprise, she was serious.

"And that’s where our story really starts, in a cold, rainy alley where Démia awaits Cael Warwick, perhaps the greatest power fighter in the Higher Planes, her lover and mortal enemy, who still carried Soulwyrm. I hope Démia doesn’t die on my blade again.

"I don’t think I could live down the embarrassment of killing my sister twice."

I'll be releasing two chapters a week, Tuesday and Thursday. First four books are written (I've recently edited the first 3 and they are mostly good to go). Will finishing editing book four and write book five next. Most of the sexual content comes much later in the series.

Closest parallel to series in Nine Princes in Amber. The Edens get along...better? Incestuous theme warnings. Also, looking at their behavior, I'm not sure they do get along better. They love each other more but they can be pretty treacherous.

All books feature Demia and Melindra as narrators until book 3 where Santina briefly narrates a few chapters. <<less

Many would usually think of it as a place of suffering, of repentance. Ishmael was no different, executed for his crimes, he had no reason to believe anything else awaited him.

In a realm where the infernal flames have inexplicably frozen over, transforming Hell from a domain of fire and brimstone into a desolate icy wasteland, lies a tale of unexpected journeys and hidden destinies. Among the few who dare to traverse this frozen Hell is Snow, a young woman whose ordinary life was upended when fate pulled her from the mortal world into the depths of the underworld.... more>>

Alone in a realm far from everything she once knew, Snow navigates the treacherous ice with empathy and a mysterious ability that sets her apart. But her solitude is short-lived. Fate soon brings her together with two strangers, each with their secrets and stories, forging an unlikely alliance in the face of the unknown. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of Hell's transformation and challenge the very fabric of the celestial realms.

Yet, as they venture deeper into the icy heart of the underworld and beyond, Snow and her companions find themselves pursued by dark forces. Unbeknownst to Snow, her arrival in Hell has set events that threaten the balance between Heaven and Hell, making her a target for entities seeking to maintain, exploit, or upend this balance.

Bound by an ancient oath and driven by a destiny she is only beginning to understand, Snow's quest is one of discovery, duty, and the pursuit of destiny against the backdrop of a world turned upside down. "The Frost Maiden's Oath" is a narrative of hidden truths, the courage to face them, and the exploration of the thin line between salvation and damnation. It’s a story about the paths we find ourselves on, the allies we choose, and the relentless spirit required to confront the shadows of our worlds and of ourselves.

Michael Ray Thompson was your average middle-class American man, suffering the fate of most isekai, time-looping litRPG main characters. I'll give you three guesses on what exactly that means.

Ding ding ding! He died! However, rather than finding himself transported to some fantasy realm where the local women fawn over him for no good reason or a futuristic cityscape where he's granted God-given powers, Michael wakes up in HELL.

How could this be? He wondered. He'd been to church at least three times and was baptized as a child, so how the HELL was he in... well, HELL!?

It turns out Michael Ray Thompson's death wasn't the only event that took place at 3:00 PM on a random Tuesday afternoon. Across the country, a death row inmate who shared the same name, though he preferred to go by Mike, was executed at the exact same as Michael's accident. This kinda sorta caused a mix-up within the afterlife department and both of them were sent to HELL, causing both of their souls to occupy and share the same physical form.

In order to fix this mix-up, the two of them... or, I guess the one of them? Anyway, Michael and Mike, living in the same body, are forced to climb Tartarus (a fancy word for HELL) in order to sort out this entire ordeal. However, climbing the infernal tower isn't as easy as it sounds since demons, minions, monsters, beasts, and any other synonym of those words that you can think of are all waiting for them on each floor to maim them! Which sucks!

Readers can expect:

A Roguelike litRPG that tells an actual story.

Comedic moments between the two main characters.

At least 100+ chapters.

Creative, unique weapons and fighting styles.

Plenty of horror elements.

The prose of this novel is not as obnoxious as the blurb!

No stats sheets! I hate those things! Progression/upgrades can and will be told organically through text rather than intrusive stats sheets that take up entire pages.

Author's Note here!

I started writing this on a whim as a side hobby.

English is my second language and I usually spend time around 1-4 AM writing a chapter while the day time is for freelance work and a personal project, but I'll try my best.

If I get a big order that may take away the time working on this novel, I'll leave a note.

Sorry in advance.

Most gender bender novels fulfill certain degree of fantasy (I also want to be a girl), but this novel might focus less on this aspect compared to others.

Currently I'm still thinking about whether to include romance or occasional smut chapters, but since the plot is rather heavy, those won't be the main focus of the series.

For now the temporary cover is generated by AI. Maybe I'll make one after I finished my personal project. <<less

In a realm where gods govern the forces of life and death, Nyktos stands as the unwavering Goddess of Death, tasked with maintaining the balance by guiding souls to their rightful end. Known for her stoic demeanor and unwavering commitment to her duty, Nyktos has never questioned her role nor the isolation it brings—until the balance is shattered by an ancient entity, threatening the very fabric of existence.... more>>

Yusei, the vibrant and compassionate God of Life, seeks out Nyktos, proposing an unlikely alliance. Together, they embark on a quest to restore the balance, a journey that will take them across realms, challenge their understanding of their powers, and force them to confront their own beliefs about life, death, and everything in between.

As they journey, they encounter beings affected by the imbalance: souls unwilling to depart, life that refuses to flourish, and a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Each encounter tests Nyktos's resolve and slowly cracks the armor around her heart, revealing the pain and empathy she has long denied.

Yusei's influence gradually softens Nyktos. Through him, she begins to see her role not just as the taker of souls but as a guide who provides comfort in the face of the inevitable. His warmth and understanding of the interconnectedness of all things show her that emotions and empathy are not weaknesses but strengths that can guide her in her duties.

The turning point comes when they face the ancient entity, which thrives on the discord between life and death. In this moment, Nyktos's newfound empathy becomes their greatest weapon. Her ability to understand and comfort the souls in her charge and those left behind, including the entity itself, allows them to address the root of the imbalance.
