With fame and fortune promised to whoever is willing to fight for the sake of the world it doesn't seem like a bad deal, there's just one small problem. Ben wasn't blessed with any magic or combat skills, just crafting and enchanting. While the skills themselves aren't useless they also aren't seen as being necessary to the coming war.

Hi I'm ProbablyATurnip, just a guy doing some writing for fun. You can expect chapters twice a week from me on Sundays and Tuesdays while I experiment with figuring out the right number of commas to use at any given time. Let me know any thoughts you have I look forward to chatting in the comments

They say every hero needs a villain. In the world of Strarth, the Goddess of Heroes Afa certainly thinks so. Unfortunately she doesn't have either nor is she allowed to bring any to the world of Strarth. Fortunately for her all her superiors are currently asleep and won't be waking up for a couple decades. What's more another strange entity who has the ability to grant her wishes offers her a deal she just can't refuse!... more>>

The deal is simple, the strange entity brings to the world of Strarth someone who Afa can mold into a villain and then Afa can summon a few hand picked heroes from this backwards planet called earth. What's not to love?

This is where Bryson Colin Coldwater comes in. Falling from the sky on a cold rainy night an infant Bryson is found in the garden of the Coldwaters. A noble elitist group that is known to rule their land with fear. Throughout Bryson's life his family call him the chosen one, and that their family has been chosen above all others. A perfect upbringing to bring up a egotistical villain.

Unfortunately, for Afa, and fortunately for Bryson, he does not quite develop in the way she wanted him to. Over the course of Bryson's life, he will be in countless different scenarios and situations that are made to turn him into a villain that will be defeated by the heroes in the future. Bryson will unknowingly resolve these conflicts in any other outcome but the one Afa wants.

In this strange game of chess, watch as the world of Strarth's most terrible evil villain faces of against his destiny. <<less

Updates:
Expect one chapter per day, although frequency may vary to once a week depending on my schedule and mood.

Notes:
This story contains R-18 themes and includes clichés typical of fantasy novels: demons, beastmen, foxgirls, etc. The MC undergoes subtle character development, there is village building, and the mystery surrounding the MC's powers. The first ten chapters lack depth and richness, or simply put, are underdeveloped and will receive a full revision in the near future. Feel free to drop this and leave. I have no plans on monetizing this book whatsoever; I just write for fun, to materialize my imaginations, and to stave off my boredom. <<less

At the tender age of 11, a young boy without a name committed many gruesome acts. Murder, theft, arson, and the list continued to grow. He was born into this world pure and innocent and corrupted by the very monsters who birthed him, thus they turned him into one as well.... more>>

His abilities were unnatural; he was a monster in human form, a superhuman. At 11 years old, he could flip a grown man with ease. The only thing that was normal about him was his enjoyment of stories. He enjoyed watching and reading whatever he could get his hands on.

He didn't understand emotions, but he always felt something when he finished the jobs assigned to him. When he snuffed the life of a woman and her children, or when he burned the cars of men and women while they were still inside, or even when his own mother strangled him to death with a wire; the young boy felt a sensation in his gut that would never fully surface—a feeling that he desired to understand.

Then, following the death at his own mother's hands, he woke up in another world. More specifically, he was in the body of a baby. As he struggled to see what was around him, he heard a voice that was impossible not to recognize—"I AM HERE!" He heard the voice proudly proclaim.

Given a second chance at life for a reason he did not understand, will this young boy—now turned young girl—finally be able to experience a life worth living? Or will the ghosts of his past come to haunt him?

"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."

--Melindra Eden, Princess of Shapes

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

In one world, I was the Hero, and you were the Demon Lord. ... more>>

In the next, I am a Reincarnator, and you are a Returnee.

"Do you still remember what you told me before I died?"

"Of course, I said that I fell in love with you."

"Were you being serious...?"

"You don't believe me? Then, let me prove it to you in this life."

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

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

*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*

New chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. <<less

James Brooks is an average high schooler in New Atlantis, a city teeming with superhumans. Despite his dad being an ex-hero and his sister Ren a genius scientist, James often feels overlooked, seeking refuge as a top battle mage in "Endless Fantasy II," an online game.... more>>

His life takes an unexpected turn when he walks away unharmed from a superhuman fight. James discovers he can morph into his game character, but with a catch: his avatar is a female demoness.

The setting is an alternate 2013 shaped by a Cold War experiment gone wrong, granting a fraction of people superpowers. However, this story isn't about superheroes; it's a blend of Mystical and Urban Fantasy, focusing on magical and mysterious elements that stay hidden from most of the world.

Anyways, as I'm not a native English speaker and this will be an experiment on my part, I will rely on AI as an editor & proofreader. If this doesn't bother you, then feel free to stay. Also, keep in mind this is my first attempt at writing something, so the way I write might change as I experiment with different styles.

all the while living in the shadow of his late and celebrated father.
During the First Responder's Parade, an explosion rocks the city, and before the local superhero Penumbra gets to the scene,
Eric rushes in, hoping to live up to the legacy he was left with.

Young Caleb is called to fight a war in a place he's never heard of.

Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. A life of war and pain left him with nothing and nobody, and with the fight for the world over and done with Zaren was ready to simply disappear. To leave behind the world that held nothing more for him, taking with him a powerful weapon he knew would cause untold suffering if it fell into the wrong hands. As far as he's concerned, the world was better off without him or the blade in it.... more>>

But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A deity from another realm threatens their world, and only a goddess whose domain is far too intimate for Zaren’s liking is convinced of its existence. She needs Zaren to prepare the world for a war nobody believes is coming before its too late. The only problem? Her deal involves resetting Zaren’s level back nearly to one.

Alone and with only a shadow of his former power, Zaren has to collect both levels and allies in the hopes he might stand a chance against the looming threat. But the world he’s trying to save isn’t quite the one he left behind. Something is affecting the world in ways he has to figure out before it gets him killed, and he isn't sure its only mortals behind those changes. Changes that seem to mesh oddly well with certain...benefits provided by the goddess who contracted him.

But if Zaren wants to have a chance at completing his impossible task, he’s going to have confront the scars of his past and unravel the darkness that lurks within him. A task that might have more to do with his mission than he previously thought. Luckily, those put on his path, seemingly by fate itself, seem more than willing to offer a helping hand. And, if he plays his cards right, quite a bit more.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-Dark themes, traumatic pasts mixed with lighter moments that will slowly head towards happier waters as Zaren fights against the world he finds himself in.
-Longer chapters, almost always over 5k words
-A competent MC with a tortured past doing his best to move forward
-Occasional other POVs from various characters, sometimes not immediately relating to the current characters (though they will always factor in eventually)
-Plenty of smut. Though it isn't the main focus of the story and doesn't start too strong, it will ramp up over time.
-LitRPG elements with less emphasis on number crunching and more on the end results so as to not bog the reader down with numbers and data
-A wide cast of characters, races, skills, classes, etc.
-A world that isn't openly smut-themed in nature, but there might be some secrets Zaren uncovers as he explores it...
-No NTR, incest, furry, or generally taboo kinks

-Current Update Schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but I will occasionally drop extra chapters if I have a lot stored up or if I feel like more than one chapter is necessary.

Alex was an ordinary person with the dream of one day being transmigrated to a magical world.... more>>

But what he didn't expect is that he would be transmigrated to a world much more than that, a world he knew very well, but instead of being given a system that would empower him, he was given a system that allowed him to make games, and the more people played, the more powers he would get.

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].

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.

For this cyborg, power is just an upgrade away. ... more>>

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?

The golden light enveloped everything as the red sun slowly rose. A woman stood amidst a battlefield painted red with the blood of many fallen soldiers and wizards. Her long black hair, which looked like a void, cascaded around her in the morning breeze, which carried the pungently sweet scent of death.

Her clear blue eyes, which resembled the deep and vast ocean, stared directly at the blonde man in shining armor.
Her arms loosely hung as her posture stooped, she waved her two short, intricately designed black daggers dripping with blood at the man taunting him.

The blonde-haired, handsome man stared at her with his determined blue eyes as he pointed his big and glimmering sword at her.

The woman's stone-cold face slowly turned to a malicious sneer as she licked the blood in her daggers right before charging at the man.
