Wayfarer is an individual chosen by the Supreme Will to explore things that will lead them somewhere. Greid is one such individual.

A story I write for when there's nothing else to do

I am Reds Rafael, a person, existing in the world where I reside in, a person not important in this world yet still living all the same. I live having a reason of not, I am not 18 yet, I am not an adult, why should I think like one? I am bored though, and so I play games, yet not all the time, I say.... more>>

Okay, right, this is a summary after all and the script written for it by my creator is this:

Reds Rafael, a normal(?) Student attends a school meant for prodigies and talented people while he is in "ordinary". He is in F class, the lowest class out of all of them, and he is also the one who has the lowest scores for the entrance exam. He is ordinary yet is he truly? Find out.

... That's all they gave me though. Have fun!

In order to survive, Mara may just have to change her whole perspective on what can be considered good and evil. <<less

He has attended various magical and martial institutions, crawled through dungeons, competed in competitions against various prodigies, wandered post-apocalyptic worlds, and much much more.

His latest ventures take him to the World of Xing. It is the type of world where logic doesn’t exist. Zombies will randomly walk the streets, giant kaiju will appear and put cities under siege, UFOs will appear in the sky. Schools can be full of delinquents, who would rather just beat each other than actually learn something. It's a world of chaos.

To make matters worse, the world has opened up and now powers from other dimensions are appearing. Demon lords, holy crusaders, munchkin eccentrics, and more all invading.

All the while, the universe is watching via live-streams! Entertain and one might just get a donation. Administrators have been vetted and assure their patrons that there will be all kinds of entertaining quests, games, and events.

Updating..

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves.... more>>

Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change.

Although, that change is not always a good thing.

Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes.

To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force.

This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar.

—-

“We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft.

Jill, the legendary warrior, started her adventure by tripping into a portal by accident.... more>>

Jill wasn't expecting any adventure to come to her life after she dropped out of high school two years ago. At best, maybe she would have a wonderful love story. After two years of having zero contact with anyone from school, including her friends, one of her friends sends her a letter asking for help. Curious, Jill goes to where the letter tells her to go and, after walking around, finds an old abandoned shrine. As she explores it, she stumbles upon a pond that strangely looks like a portal. Having common sense, Jill turns around to walk away...

....then trips and falls in. When she comes to, she finds herself in a mystical beautiful garden in the middle of a black void...

....and meets a carefree cheery quirky girl named Chaersie who guards this place. Chaersie, after she had enough fooling around with Jill, tells Jill that she has come into contact with the Yeither, and, as such, must now either stay here in the garden or go out and either hunt down Monseuteo, monsters from multiple dimensions created by The Garden Of Sinners, or risk being attacked by them while she is walking alone.

Because Jill doesn't want to be ripped to shreds and wants to find her friend, she decides to hunt the Monseuteo. When she makes that decision, she learns that, in a certain part of the world, magical girls do exist, and she is now one of them! Yet, she quickly learns that quite a few magical girls are psychopaths who have been alive for a long time, or their own magic has done something to their brain. Yet, determined to save her friend, Jill doesn't back down. As she fights, she soon learns that all of her friends but one have disappeared...

....and that she isn't really a good warrior either. Oh, and she has a dysfunctional team. No joke, one of them is a masochist, the other a sadist. The other two aren't better either. One of them is a jerk and the other one may or may not be a serial killer. Still, Jill has a mission and a job to do.

And so begins Jill's luck-needed adventure as a Ryōshi, a fancy name for a magical girl, a hunter of monsters, to try and find her friends and take down The Garden Of Sinners.

Author Notes:
I've the rough ideas and planned arcs for the future chapters of this novel but despite of that I might change the story course, tags, and the said ideas to what I thought as better ones.

Truthfully and strictly speaking, I've never write a romance and yandere before as I've only wrote two novels, not even my drafts. So, I might change or remove the said genre and tag if I feel like I didn't do my job correctly.

Expect the inconsistent of me that I'll go and edit the past chapters if I find errors, or want to change some names, but don't worry because I'll put the change log in the note of each chapter, or glossary if it really needed. <<less

Dying should be as bad as it gets. But when Kanin's soul is snatched from its path to the afterlife to be bound to a bottle of ink, he's cast into a new world where his sole purpose is to perform a senile wizard’s yard work.... more>>

Determined to evade magical errands, upgrade his fragile body, and return home (preferably alive), Kanin teams up with an elf trapped in a toy octopus to find a way to break their spells. But a murderous void has been shadowing him from the start, and if he can't discover a way to defeat it soon, it threatens to consume him—mind, body, and soul.

What you can expect from this story:
- Queer heroes (the MC is a gay man, side characters include a lesbian, enby, ace)
- MLM romance but it's a SLOWWWW burn
- Zero to Hero (Kanin's got some growth ahead of him—emotionally AND literally!)
- A dash of humor and horror
- Light LitRPG with slow but steady progression
- Non-human underdog MC (I mean, he's a glass bottle)
