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)

'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.

This is the new Rewritten Version of Masamune. Now with 200% more swords!... more>>

Weapons. They measure a species' capabilities in war and strength.
In a world where True Power comes at a cost, mortals have but two methods to get stronger. Either discover and master their talents, ascending past the common rabble on the path to glory and fame, or accept a contract by a mysterious entity simply named 'The Scrolls', in the form of 'Curses'.
Forged with the last embers of a long-dead Primal's forge, and deemed one of many 'Soulcrafts', Masamune was discovered by a curious Western Noble traveling in the East. Planning to give this beautifully crafted Sword to his son for his coming-of-age ceremony, he disregarded the words of his advisors and took the shortcut through the most dangerous area in the entirety of the continent.
Awakening her consciousness with the help of her first wielder, she is thrust into a cruel and everchanging world, where peace is as sturdy as a glass tower, power speaks volumes, and where her wielders are quick and shortlived.
What was her purpose? Why is the Moon hellbent on the destruction of the world?
In a world shrouded with mystery and clouded with contracts and clauses, can she even trust her siblings?

Separated from his friends, thrust into an unfamiliar environment, will he be able to navigate the dangers that lurk within and make it out alive?

Thanks to everyone who has supported my original series! Love yall~!

Synopsis below:

Weapons, the backbone of any species' defensive and offensive capabilities.
Fresh out of the forges of a mysterious bladesmith, Masamune was sold to a curious Western noble, a coming-of-age gift for his son. Deemed as a mysterious 'Soulcraft' by the blue Scroll, it seemed that there was more to her past than the Scrolls would let on.
However, as fate would have it, Masamune never reached the Western lands, the entourage dying in The Devil's Valley, the only land passage between the East and West.
Gaining sentience after consuming the blood of the fallen, she now relies on her wielders for food and sustenance, slowly building up her own body to free herself from her limits.
With no goal but to devour and kill, and the mysterious Scrolls of the fallen Primals helping her along the way, what would be her final fate?z

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.

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.

Aya is an adopted child, with a loving mother, sister, and grandfather.... more>>

Her intellect was always well beyond her outward age, which led to her being neglected by her birth mother. Connie, her adoptive mother, loved her from the first meeting, as did her sister, Coral. Her grandfather supported her in anything she wanted to do, but his income sources were less than legitimate.

After she reprogrammed his main computer systems, she designed a system that would look vulnerable on the surface, but lure attackers in, and capture their data so they could be eliminated.

Unfortunately, Aya missed critical data, and her sister was kidnapped. From that point onward, the innocent girl was replaced with a cold unflinching being of pure logic, and repressed chaos. She learned how to turn memories into data, and meld human with machine.

She learned it a little too well, and struggles to maintain her humanity before the machine swallows her consciousness. If that wasn't bad enough, she struggles to maintain her hold on her corporeal form, and not evolve into pure energy. She knows that the linear evolution laid out before her is a trap.

How does she know? Cybernetic memories hidden in the static, in the ether surrounding the solar system. However, is her alternative also a trap, or a way out?
