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

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest, her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself since the endless years of solitude and all the heartbreaks covered her heart with eternal ice.
While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize the body of her child to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with.
In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia.
What Tatyana didn't know at that... more>> time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

"Survival of the fittest is easier said than done...why couldn't I have been reborn a bit bigger, huh?"

If waking up in a new world wasn't bad enough, an idealistic teen starts her new life as a newborn dragon not by being embraced by a loving family, but having to escape two hungry kobolds wanting some grilled lizard for breakfast. Now, status screens obscure her vision in a hostile forest filled with vicious magical monsters, as two concerning Titles welcome her to her new life.

Equipped with fragmented memories from her past life and the game-like mechanics of her new reality, the young dragon must face trials and tribulation, undeterred by the reaper's scythe inches from her neck. Despite her challenges, she is determined to find civilization. For nothing will stop her from fulfilling her one true desire: to become an Idol.

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.... more>>

Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.

Young Jennifer Barakat had a dream, to be like no one ever was, to never be like her parents who were always obsessed over their work.... more>>

While she wouldn’t go as far as saying she hated her parents, she did resent them for always prioritizing their life’s ambitions first rather than their family first.

It was one of the reasons why they didn’t live together.

Not that they weren’t still married or didn’t love each other; which they are and do still love each other, very much!

But the problem was their work.

Her mother was a front runner and figurehead in the protection of the region she was from; keeping it safe from a terrorist group that threatened her homeland.

Her father, from another region, was dedicated to his own work in discovering and helping categorize the creatures there to help the professor he worked under.

After a certain incident, Jennifer’s mother was scared for her daughter’s safety like never before. She then sent Jennifer to go live with her father: her parents hoping to help keep their daughter safe and out of harms way by living with him, rather than living in the Ejalup region.

Now, with her ticket in hand. Fourteen year old Jennifer Barakat sets out towards her father’s homeland, her second home.

The Hoenn region. <<less

Harems have become too powerful. Heroes fall prey to temptation and poor relationship development, and no woman is truly safe from a life of emptily yearning for one man. When the Goddess of Reincarnation is taken out of the picture, her sister Vice-Goddess summons a new champion, a man who she hopes will resist the blight of haremhood, emaciate the men of Gaia from their self-deprecating stupor, and overall just be a decent guy for once in this world.... more>>

Watch as he walks into a female companion in the middle of changing, then promptly turns around, apologizes, and leaves without being magicked in the ass because it's not really that big of a deal.

There's only one bed? No problem.
Need some personal space? Gotchya.
Developing mutual feelings? Let's talk it out.

In this tale, the true fantasy is the fulfilling friendships and mutually-assured relationships along the way.

***

This story is primarily slice-of-life, but there will still be sword-and-magic action. I can't say much about how the balance between the two is or will be, but I will always strive towards the path that will grow friendships and strengthen the Platonic Agenda.

Finally, I hereby declare this story completely SFW.

Misha has always been petty—very, very petty. He pays back the smallest grievances tenfold, and his temper flares up more often than not. So, when Santa Claus sends him back in time as a Christmas gift, he’s hell-bent on tormenting his sister’s boyfriend, the cause of all his suffering. No matter what, he has to drive the jerk away, or else misfortunes will befall his family.... more>>

But as time goes by, Misha slowly realizes that things are not as he remembers them. Perhaps, everything he knows about his sister’s boyfriend was built on lies.

That doesn’t mean he will stop pestering the guy, though.

Luna Crimson, a Queen, Royalty of the highest caliber, a Battle Maiden unlike any other, there were no equal. Just like her name suggests, almost everything about her is 'Crimson', her hair, her eyes, but most importantly, the large amounts of blood rivers that she has seen. Now she lives a new life in a new world, but a new life doesn't transfer to a 'new' her, she stayed the same.... more>>

Blood-thirsty, narcissistic, and somebody who only cares for the people that she so chooses to care about, everybody else is of no concern to her, but she can also come off as childish at times, why that is? Only she knows... And only she'll ever know, for the sole reason she's living a new life is because of one certain moronic 'god', she'll never forget how he called himself 'Zeddicus' for she loathes him, to her he's not a 'God', just a poser, a jester.

And now, she walks in the world of wizards and witches, magic and spells, but even inside this magical world, there are people that are less special by default, just because they don't possess the ability and innate talent for the wonders of magic. Therefore they are kept out of it completely.

And because the Queen saw that the world which she now resides in is peaceful, or as 'peaceful' as a massive world can truly be, she decided to just have fun and do what any single thing that she so desires, after all, who's going to stop her? Absolutely nobody... And if they dare? Well, The Queen wouldn't mind going back to her roots and showing them what a feared Battle Maiden can do.

And so, the Queen walks the grounds of Hogwarts, doing just what she decided and what did she decide? That's right, doing whatever it is that she wants. And her primary 'want' is getting herself some wives and so The Queen aims to do that... And why not grab the whole school at the same time and become a Queen of Hogwarts, that could be an entertaining activity to do, right?

When his sister had won an additional Dive Gear in a lottery, after already buying one in the mall along with a game, Yoruto decided to sell the one they'd won since he's not into all of that since junior high.
However, his sister wanted otherwise and begged him to keep it so that he could play a recently released VRMMORPG game, Umbra Frontier Online, with her.... more>>

Unable to refuse his little sister's plead, Yoruto gave in and went along with his sister's request; jumping into the world of Umbra Frontier Online, or UFO for short, as a beautiful dark elf woman named "Yoru".

Why did he choose to make a female character, you may ask? Well, he didn't. He just pressed the Random button at the character creation screen and rolled with whatever he got out of it.

“You sure about this?” I looked dubiously up at the towering gate in front of us, surrounded by trees.... more>>

Hector shrugged. “Did you have another destination in mind?”

“Not a city?” I suggested without much hope.

Hector narrowed his eyes at me. “Where else do you suggest we find work? We’re soldiers. Besides, this one has trees. I thought you liked trees.”

I scowled up at the massive redwoods like they had personally offended me. “Cities don’t deserve trees.”

Crystal Rose, A fox Faunus with silver hair and fur, but instead of having one tail, she has two. She was given away by whoever her parents are so that she could be experimented on and that was her life for the better length of her childhood. She can't even feel pain anymore, that's how much she has been damaged.... more>>

Now after she has gotten out of that hellish place with the help of her Semblance, her life should get easier, right? Utterly false, no matter how much she wants to be left alone, how much she wants to be free, her 'captors' just don't allow her that privilege by trying to hunt her down and effectively turning her into a self-defending torturing murder machine.

Why a self-defending one? Because she doesn't kill or attack people on her own accord, she only does it if and when she gets attacked. So for years she has been fighting and fighting so she could feel some of the freedom that she wants.

There Is only one person that she owes payback, a person who is the bane of her existence. She vowed to herself that he will be the only person she'll ever kill without any self-defense, she'll go for the kill, but not before making them pay for the life she's been living.

But because she was locked away for most of her life, she is out of touch with the 'common' and the 'standard' that other people are used to, so because of that, she's been ostracized even more, not to mention that her being a Faunus, already has given her more hate than she deserves.

The only shining beacons in her life are her adoptive moms, her girlfriend, and her Wife, it helps her a lot, knowing that she at least has somebody.

But... as there's darkness and light in every corner of the world, she has her own darkness, in a form of ???

A story of the Becoming Monsters universe by Ai Love! Five years after the Change overtook the world, transforming many into fantastic Races and granting Classes, life moves on. As Honoka Jefferson faces her trials in Boston, this camera is focused a country away.... more>>

Jeremiah Kithkin is an Incubus, with a bit of a problem. His wife, Lucy, is a Succubus. He can feed from her, but she cannot feed from him. Their desire for monogamy would kill both due to the Hungers imposed on them by the Change. They are also a Surface Hunters, two of the few remaining folks in Seattle who hunt down monsters that escape from the local Dungeon. Thing is, that work has dried up as the city got wise to how things work. He struggles to make ends meet.

As attacks rise and life takes a turn for the frantic, Jeremiah finds himself facing down curses, former Guildmates, Demons, and the local underworld as he seeks to preserve both his marriage and the lives of those in the city he swore to defend. This is, of course, complicated by the Demonic women who keep crossing his path.

There are over 600 individual muscles in the human body. Why waste time training all of them?... more>>

In the world of professional arm wrestling, there's only one part that matters: the arm. At least, that's how Chadwick sees it. His commitment to that idea has made him a freak of nature, one whose right arm is large and muscular enough to make weightlifters and strongmen do a double-take. Just how he likes it.

His dedication is rewarded when a strange blue box appears and grants him an ability he'd only dreamed of. Empowered by the system, he's able to exclusively strengthen specific parts of his body. What follows is gains. Lots and lots of gains. And with an ominous portal spewing monsters into his reality, it's not a moment too soon.

Armed with… well, an arm, Chadwick must punch, slap, and smash his way through hordes of enemies and apocalyptic circumstances. What is happening to Earth? Can he protect those he holds dear? Will he ever once think to exercise his legs?

In which a well-intentioned Earthling with all the idealism of a Disney princess decides to bring some much-needed civility to the cutthroat world of cultivation... with social media.... more>>

Long Synopsis: “Choose wisely, for choice is what makes the Cultivator.”

That was the one true maxim of this world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Where the strong flayed the weak to take what they desired. Where the heavens weaved stories on behalf of their favoured children, using all else as mere pawns for their means. For aeons unchanged did the cultivation world remain, with traditions and taboos set in stone.

But that’s ancient history.

The flickering screen showed the Red Heavens Supreme Patriarch live-streaming his Dao of the Sigma Tyrant Podcast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Vixen kickstarting the Nine-by-ninth-wave Feminism, and the Trans-cended Cisgolden Buddha hustling his Self-help pyramid scheme to his untold number of followers.

Even the Foreign Gods and Immortal Devils came down to lurk beneath the dark web 24/7, illegally trading pirated video-game mods and contraband mp4 files for the newest fad Crypto-spirit stone.

Finally, deciding enough was enough, the mortals rose up, armed in all-caps, and cancelled every cultivator online for even the slightest microaggression, triggering the conservative heavens to bend the knee, or be demonetised.

When he was but a mortal, Yung—previously Jung—a soul adrift from a far gentler world- had merely asked this innocent question: “Is such cruelty truly necessary?”

“No!” He judged; his modern sensibilities would not allow it. In a world where he could cultivate to be anything, he chose to be kind. Thus, standing upon the shoulders of all the great thinkers of Earth, and with the help of his rich foxy sweetheart, he had set out with a dream to make the heavens merciful.

But alas, lady fate was fickle after all.

Yung turned the television off with a confused, ashamed, and profoundly remorseful heart.

He had achieved his dreams. But at what cost?

Han Nao, the youngest son of an illustrious general, always wanted to be a hero. He wants to move through the skies on a flying sword, unleashing blows and techniques on villains and rescuing beauties. Alas, due to his poor health which prevented him from cultivating qi, he only had to seek solace in good plentiful food and contemplative crystals showing the adventures of real heroes. Han hoped that someday he would find a great mentor who could appreciate his talent, transform him from a scum and disgrace of the clan into a hero of legends. Except he hadn't heard that his wishes were to be feared. Because they sometimes come true, and sometimes much... more>> better than one could imagine.
