We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course.... more>>

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory.

Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order.

It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time.

When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life.

Serenity.

------------------------------------------

While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges.

The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has.

Of course, that's only his second priority.

A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way.

The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured.

The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery. <<less

Gods are, generally speaking, not fans of directly putting their fingers on the scale. This is for a variety of reasons, ranging from cautioun to amusement, but is generally because after a few hundred millennia and enough prayers to fill a hollow Earth, you're bound to learn the art of delegation. Luckily, among the unwashed masses, there exist the exceptional, the gifted, those with the potential to become Heroes.... more>>

Useful pawns.

Thus, the Gods adopted a more laissez-faire policy.

Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole "save the world” rigmarole, came home, and mulled over his magical journey. It was amazing! A whole lifetime as the destined savior, with magic and monsters, love and adventure, lifelong friendships and heartfelt goodbyes. There was so much, and yet, gone so soon.

It wasn’t enough. It was never enough. He wanted to do it again. And where wants coincide, there's a market, so he sold his services to the lazy, wanton Gods.

Now, after countless subjective centuries of Hero-ing, and several awkward conversations with the IRS, an odd God has come to Quasi with a unique request: Destroy a world, minimum payment of several million dollars on completion.

Quasi sees no reason not to accept.

Heroes battle in the suburbs and magical girls soar the sky while they battle the dark forces that plague this [World], that is the normal state of things. Among those that live in this [World], there's one girl who's anything but eager to join the ranks of the extraordinary. Elizabeth Starbright, the daughter of legendary superhero [The American Crusader], the father of all [SuperHeroes], and the Magical girl [The Stardust Explorer] the mother of all [Magical Girls]. With a lineage steeped in heroism and magic, one might expect her to follow in her parent's footsteps with gusto, but Elizabeth has other plans.... more>>

Preferring the comfort of her bed to the chaos of crime-fighting, Elizabeth dreams of a life filled with leisure and relaxation under her blanket napping in the afternoon while hugging her favorite plushie. However, [Fate] has other ideas. As she was spending the last days of vacation before school started, she was sent to a school whose sole mission was to train a new generation of [Heroes] and [Magical Girls], and if that wasn't bad enough at the first day of classes she triggers the awakening of both her latent superpowers and magical abilities, Elizabeth finds herself thrust into a world of danger and adventure she never wanted to be a part of.

As she grapples with her newfound abilities, Elizabeth must navigate the challenges of balancing her desire for a carefree life with the responsibilities that come with being a superhero and a magical girl. Alongside a diverse cast of other students including fellow heroes, magical girls, and even a few [Villains], Elizabeth embarks on a journey of self-discovery, facing formidable foes and uncovering dark secrets that threaten the [World]'s very existence.

Join Elizabeth as she learns that sometimes, [Fate] has other plans, and the most extraordinary adventures can begin with the most reluctant heroes. Will she embrace her legacy and rise to the occasion, or will she succumb to the allure of a life of leisure? Either way, Elizabeth wishes nothing else but to [Strive beyond this Cursed Bloodline] that she inherited.

This is my first attempt at writing, please be gentle with it. I have very little idea where the story will go or how the characters will develop but goddamn it I will try my best to make it somewhat entertaining. Given the free writing style I use I am adding all three content warning, their will be strong language, their will be sex, and someone might get eaten. I am not 100% sure on the last one but I don't want to take any chances... more>>

"Clearance to summon one hero, only one! Did you think I would not notice?"
“O relax, it was an accident, besides one or 46 what's the real difference?”
46?... Does he not know about the other one? probably for the best, I can't even imagine what he would do with… whatever that thing he pulled into this world is. I am not sure what I am going to do with that… oh it's waking up.

X47 woke up in a void, alone. not sure what it was, or how it got there it was… quite content letting its mind wander through vast expanses of nothing, piecing together fragmented knowledge that resided inside itself. till one day came a cry, a cry that would shake the foundation of the world.
Follow X47 on its adventures in hopes to live a quiet peaceful life, key word quiet, along the way making friends, enemies, enemies that used to be friends, and friends that used to be enemies. or maybe it will just eat the entire population of souls and go to sleep. who knows, not X47, and definitely not the system moderator in charge of keeping the balance of this world. <<less

A young orphan works hard every single day, trying to single-handedly keep his parents’ business alive, all the while tortured by a terrible curse.... more>>

Then came the day that a wizard became his mentor - and he learned that his entire life was a lie… His parents didn’t just die, they were brutally murdered; he was not cursed at all; his uncle was not in fact his uncle; and he could channel magic! Struggling to rise above the tragedy of his horrific past, he is now thrown into an entirely new world.

Day by day he must push himself to catch up with his new peers, learning the secrets of this vast new world, while studying the arts of combat, weapons, and magic!

Where do his strengths lie? What are his talents? Is he strong enough to overcome the obstacles in his way?

And why is he considered so unique?

The secrets of the academy, of the missing ambassador, of the hidden dragons, and of the empires and kingdoms marching to war in the east - all have been hurled into an abyss so deep that they should never be found.

Yet Yaric grew up in the abyss, and watching his new world get dragged down by the secrets, Yaric is forced to plunge right back in. But as Yaric already knows, staring into the abyss is easy. Falling in is effortless. Rising back out however, that may not be possible at all!

Only for those who want more than a brief synopsis...
What to expect:

The mc is kind of overpowered, but not in a typical way. And definitely not in an obvious way. He does get more overpowered as the story develops though. Again, not in a normal way.

Yaric is central, but many side characters are very important. The world doesn’t revolve around him.

There will not be any training montages. Power is gained through effort, and training and learning is part of the journey. Some will likely consider the story ‘slow burn’ – the mc is discovered to have magical potential, and then spends many years studying. Lore is revealed as the mc learns. The journey is the story.

The mc’s journey will include training missions, fulfilling appeals (effectively ‘adventuring’), diplomatic missions, small scale skirmishes and large-scale wars encompassing multiple nations. Mysteries and crimes will have to be solved along the way. There will be monsters, creatures hiding in the dark, and apocalyptic behemoths. Oh, and there will be dragons. Very important dragons. They’re coming!

There will be combat, martial arts, different kinds of magic, and various forms of crafting. Different nations have different cultures; politics, trade, and wars between them are important. Battles aren't just groups of soldiers slugging it out. Ok, sometimes they are...

It might take a while to get there, but there are overarching plots over and above the minor plots and story arcs. The main plot starts right at the beginning.

The world:

It's less medieval and more Roman Empire/Ancient China, if they both had magic and 1000’s of years of extra development. Just like they had occupations such as administrators, secretaries, lawyers, architects, acrobats, firemen and accountants, so too does Malvec and the surrounding nations. The sapient population includes humans, elves, dwarves, draugr and lichs. Wildlife includes ogres and vardøgers, trolls and gnolls, hellcats and nightwing bats. And much more!

Technology is more advanced, due to 2 main differences between those empires and nations like Malvec
Time: Civilization has been around longer - by thousands of years. Mass production is common. Assembly lines have been developed. Various forms of schools and education are widespread. Steam power, internal combustion engines and electricity are practically the only things missing. Essentially power generation and storage.
Food: Mages drastically enhance food production, making populations both larger and more diverse. A much larger % of the population take up other jobs.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure themed superhero journey, that will include slice of life, action, and hopefully interesting world building. Will also contain a slow burn GL plotline I'll get to eventually when I feel like it I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

Lia was walking between classes when the targeting on a wizard's lightning bolt went awry and the bolt struck Lia, killing her on the spot.

And, apparently, she was going to be trying to take over the world, make everyone into part of her swarm. Eventually. When she got stronger.
Well...she already died once, so what harm is there in giving things a second go, right?... more>>

(Main character receives no gender bender. The genre tag remains there because gender bending does feature in the story, but there is no "minor" tag to properly illustrate that)

Series has a strict update schedule of "when it comes out, it comes out". That can mean two chapters in one day, or over a month between chapters. Both have happened in the past. This is something I write on the side while "turning my brain off", so just keep in mind that releases will be inconsistent.

If you want to be notified when this does update, check out my discord, I post notifications there: https://discord.gg/5TuC5ju

READ THE FOREWORD: I cannot stress this enough, this series is different from my usual fare and there come some caveats with it. In the foreword I address a lot of comments and questions I foresee people having. A lot of tags are also speculative, so there is also a brief explanation of them there as well. If you find yourself having questions about a tag, the foreword is the place to look/ask questions.

Follow the Mutant Werewolf, Shaggy, as he and his friends try to become some of the biggest Villains in the underground city of Under-Town. Using nothing but their limited wits, semi-decent gaming skills and a dream, they will try to create their own crew in the already gang-infested streets. Join Shaggy, Vlad, Ren, Slink and others as they gather a few Lackeys and go head to head with mobsters, failed science experiments, and other players in this story about how the other half lives in a game of Superheroes, Aliens, and Mutants.

A Werewolf In Under-Town is a project I started when I was stuck on the fourth book in my main line LitRPG series, Modern Age Online. It started as a sort of pallet cleanser and grew from there. Where Modern Age Online follows The Professor and his Superhero friends, A Werewolf In Under-Town takes a few bit villains from that series and follows their trials and tribulations in the underground city of Under-Town.

I don't personally think you need to read the original work, (although I won't complain if you do. It's on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CMDVXM2) but I'm sure someone will disagree with that statement. But I would sure appreciate if ya gave it a try.

A Saga detailing the Plight and Journey of the Cursed Children. Ages have passed since the Demons of the Lower Realms were exiled from the... more>> Midworld. Within those hundreds of thousands of years, calamity upon calamity met the peoples of the world. Now they grow desolate. The powers that existed in those bygone ages now wane. The world seems to be moving to a lull. And distrust and madness consumes those in positions of power. During the twilight of the current age, a boy was born to a cursed couple. They offended a sage who had come to visit, and paid for their insolence. Their child was to be exiled. Yet the sage felt remorse, and offered to train and guide their yet unborn son. And so it happened that Tūmbṃār, the boy of the Hematite Mountains, became a disciple to one of the greatest sages. The twelve-year old would venture forth from his home, embarking on a journey that would change not only the fate of his world, but the ones of his dearest companions. Not least the mysterious maiden he found under a tree. Their lives would be intertwined, involving the Gods above and the Demons below.

But one day he sees his father's dark deeds and realizes rich people all around the globe are part of something big and dark. To protect his family and innocent, he starts to get stronger while scheme through their ranks, so he can destroy them from within.

Join Mokami in his exciting life!

What to expect;

Strong Romance; MC is romantic type of a guy that abhors to use women. There will be many women around him but he will woo them with love.

Harem(Incest); There will be many women from the anime and some OCs. Momo and their mother will also be part of the harem.

Slow Pace; It is not going to be meeting and fucking in an instant. I like to take my time and build up the romance before getting into the action so if you are looking for quick fucks, this story is not for you.

Strong but not Overpowered MC; He is always stronger than average but not omnipotent. Expect him to fallback and lose things just to rise on his feet stronger. Although the main theme is not power, the novel has some.

Some dark truths about world that may trigger you. Abuse of minors and worse. Never done by MC, will never be done MC but as MC discovers more about the Dark Organization, the nastier it will get. If you are a snowflake, I don't recommend you to read.

For now the publish schedule is a chapter on weekdays and two chapters on weekends. <<less
