For years Sora has been viciously harassed by bullies, being subject to physical, psychological, and emotional torture from middle school to high school. This, however,... more>> is going to change as Sora’s sixteenth birthday draws near; reality begins to twist as myths and legends surround her. She starts to change from a demure teenage girl to something else as she struggles to come to terms with her new transformation. <<less

In a dark future, the demonic Grim Horde rules most of the Earth, and Britain has just fallen. The last survivor of the island is the young wizard Soren Marlowe, the newest student at the Nagoya Academy of Magic. To all appearances, he is a normal enough young man, if a little girl crazy. ... more>>

Little do they know that he’s an exiled devil, one of the very same demons who helped destroy the fallen island! Now thrust into the middle of someone else’s romantic comedy, Soren will need to think fast to keep his secret and, just maybe, find a little romance.

Note: I used to have the mature tag on there, until it was pointed out to me that I would never have enough sexual content in the story to warrant that. <<less

A world of swords and magic, where the strong survive and the weak... revive. A world in which one's strength is determined not by birth, but by skill, creativity, gear, luck, skills, and your class. A world where your imagination is the limit, unless the sadistic system decides to say "haha nope" for no reason. ... more>>

There're more hidden mechanics and aspects of this world than anyone can imagine, each with the power to overthrow any semblance of balance in nature or in society. What happens when such a thing lands in the hands of a weak, depressed, and lost teen, who is almost entirely uninterested in this world?

And when the Demon Lord wants to have fun at the expense of the human race, what better way than to get them to kill one another and, in doing so, turn them into demon-like beings? Perhaps make them fall into a sense of complacency before shattering their hopes, dreams, and peaceful lives with such a death game?

"I only started playing because it was my brother's last wish, why did I have to get trapped in a years-old VRMMO after the 2.0 update?"

Updates will be slow and sporadic (you can see when each of the chapters was released so far, it'll be like that in the future too lol), due to long-term health issues. I write as a means to pass the time when I'm up for it, so if I'm feeling bad, I might not even get a single word into my drafts for a month or two, but I'm not dropping this or my other main project, ever.
On a different note, I have plans for 6 books of this story, so... we're in for a long one here. <<less

Jack Smith’s life ended rather abruptly. Spinning out on ice while driving a truck was not the most magnificent method to depart this earth. A mediocre man he had led an ordinary life until his death. Now with a second chance at life, he decided that this time he would be exceptional. This time he would finally live up to his name. After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

Armed with a system and determination to do his best he sets out like any other reincarnated soul in another world to find his place and achieve great things. There is just one small problem with getting started in this endeavour . . . he is yet to be born!

Welcome to a progression fantasy with a twist. What might you be able to achieve if your race to the top began before your body had even been born?

Join our hero as he masters the language, magics and skills of the Compass Kingdoms but his first great challenge will be learning to walk once more.

. . . .

Warning 1: Be prepared for the MC to spend an entire book's worth of words and time as an infant but hopefully you will enjoy it nevertheless.

Warning 2: Grandfather is legally abusive to MC for a couple of chapters but he is removed from that situation around chapter 30. To be edited out some time in the future. <<less

** Luca will also die. A lot. It's a time-loop story. But with enough game resets (ahem, deaths), Luca will learn and grow, so there's hope for him yet.

** This is a slow-burning and character-driven novel. It's also going to be long.

The other woman, on the other hand, has no idea she isn't actually coercing the goddess into becoming her plaything.

When an encounter with truck-kun should have led to a new... more>> life, Kawari defies fate's call for reïncarnation. Pressed down by looming regrets and an uncaring mother, he hoped for a better restart.
Instead, he gains a rare gift—the ability to traverse between two worlds.

To slay him.
He is an outsider who doesn’t belong anywhere. As Kawari hones his capabilities without increasing his level he forms a ragtag party, and embarks on a journey fueled from the promises of those he cares for on both sides. From rebels to masters, members of the Royal Marshal join the underdog’s struggle for their own values.
From Level 0, a heartfelt, slow tale of self-discovery, and the appreciation of life.

So, Fate grants her wish. She is now The Child of Miracles, the wielder of the strongest essence in the world of thaumaturgy...

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

After getting stuffed in a suit, Phone Guy (Fritz Smith) finds himself struggling to grapple with the irrationality of the life he now finds himself in. ... more>>

Expect:
- A fun exploration of an interesting philosophy, absurdism.
- Possessed animatronic MC/POV (for the entire story).
- Secret/hidden identity.

Don't expect:
- Romance.
- An accurate timeline.
- Any story based on pizzeria simulator.

I'm writing this both for the philospophy, and to add to my favorite genre of FNAF fanfiction: possessed animatronic MC. You can read this for either, or both! This story is basically a continuation of Phone Guy's phone call during Night 4 (that's the one where he gets stuffed into a suit), and loosely follows the story of the proceeding (chronological) games. Very minor spoilers for the first chapters ahead. This isn't a mystery story, but I'll give the warning regardless. Phone Guy eventually finds himself inside of Funtime Foxy, and has to live life out as the animatronic. He has the illusion disks from the books, but I've heavily nerfed them so they can't be used as a cop out for dealing with his animatronic body. <<less

Those are some of the things that a young businessman called Christian is thinking of everyday after work.

As he steps into the world of the adults, he has to face with the hardships of what it means to become self reliant. Grueling, long hours of work, unsteady schedule and an annoying boss, make it rough for Christian to have any control or excitement in his life.

As he couldn't start any hobbies, due to his work, and couldn't even get a girlfriend to spend time with, he had to rely on the most basic sanity check a human can have: routine. His routine is as simple and basic as he is. Everyday, instead of taking the shorter road to work, he takes a road which leads to a busy crosswalk in the middle of the city.

But, things start to change in his daily routine. News of murders happening on crosswalks appear all over. People become scared of traversing them at night. Christian's routine is thus disrupted. Until one fateful night, as his crosswalk is marked off as a crime scene. He crosses it. He wanted to feel it once more. His sense of control, his beloved crosswalk.

This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now. For the research cartographers and various elders of specific areas of expertise... Not me, specifically.

I'm just a TumbleTech.

The Tumbler is a magnificent little creation that essentially acts as storm debris at the very least, personalized rocket at most, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the kick behind the thrusters on a 360° rotation. Also, it can tow a two-ton wreckage comb like it’s nothing–those handy debris-collecting honey-comb-looking cages the Rovers use to scavenge for treasures of an ancient world. <<less

One wish was promised to those who reached the peak of the "Infinite" Tower. ... more>>

One wish that spurred thousands to ascend, yet despite their toils, their hopes, and dreams, none managed to reach the top.

Until one. His name destined to go down in history as the first. Odysseus.

To him, the tower meant 20 years of bloodshed carved through 200 floors of horrors. Trampling on the bodies of those blessed by gods who came before him. No action too detestable, no moral high ground to hold him back, No monster, mortal, or divine being capable of halting his ascent. But when his goal was finally achieved at the end of that long climb, there was only a void left to linger in the silence of his heart pierced by a dagger.

Fame.

Fortune.

Escape.

Love?

All had been long abandoned in his dogmatic pursuit, leaving those who bore witness to to his ascension left to ask,

"What could a man with the power of a god possibly wish for?"
