Waking up adrift in an ancient battleground, Alex is left dazed and confused with no clue how she ended up trapped aboard a failing vessel. With only a mysterious voice in her head to guide her she must act in order to survive.

All she knows for sure is that she could die at any minute.

But she is not going to go down without a fight.

Follow Alex on her adventure as she upgrades her ship, forges new friendships, encounters new enemies, and does her best to balance her humanity with her growing abilities.

What to expect: an action-packed *soft* sci-fi ship girl space opera that’s perfect for readers who love survival, military sci-fi and a sprinkling of progression / gamelit with stakes that grow with our protagonist. Also girls might end up kissing, so if that is terrifying, be warned.

Rex was poisoned and died in the parking lot of a local diner. He worked at an arms manufacturing plant, as a nameless engineer. He died in his middle age and left behind all his regrets. ... more>>

He did not see any bright lights, nor did his life flash before his eyes. He just felt burning hot pain, that eventually became numbness. He was then carried from this world as death claimed him.

When he next opened his eyes, he had returned to his youth. The world he found himself in wasn't his own though. He was in a mine on an island. He discovered he might be the only human in this world. Finding himself forced to labor in the mines if he wanted to eat, he began planning to leave the island.

Rex will quickly realize it doesn't matter where he goes when he is the only one of his race. He will discover magic, and try to build a new civilization. He will aim to build a country free of war. This is the story of the legacy he will attempt to build, as the only human in the world. Surrounded by different points of view, and cultures, Rex will have to grow to overcome any obstacles he may meet.

This is my first work on the website. It will be updated every week with extra chapters when I have time.

I also go deep into some things like modern weapons, and how they work, Rex is supposed to be an engineer after all. This is way more in-depth than other books I have personally read, but do not attempt any of this at home. None of the information is complete, you will more than likely harm yourselves.

Warning: this book contains, swearing, scenes of sexual intercourse, death, rape, depression, grief, and depictions of cruelty.

I have done a thorough clean-up on the book and removed a lot of errors, so it should read pretty well now. If you see any errors that bother you please point them out.

Talia, the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate CEO, harbors an unquenchable adventurous spirit. Wishing to make her own mark on the universe and avoid the boring life of corporate drudgery, she joins the droves of new human explorers combing through unexplored space in humanity’s newest diaspora from the core worlds.... more>>

Her resilience is put to the test when her brand-new exploration corvette crashes onto an uncharted planet, Sigma 16. Despite the sudden and unprecedented systems failure, Talia is far from deterred. Equipped with a state-of-the-art exo-exploration suit, a semi-operational colony bootstrap system and a sometimes annoying AI companion, she sees this as an opportunity to claw her way back to orbit with all the discoveries she plans to uncover.

Join Talia as she builds her base and combs through the expansive dunes and jungles of Sigma 16 in the search of precious resources and alien data. But the planet might not be as uninhabited as it first seems, and with untamed wilds teeming with potentially territorial wildlife can she unravel the secrets of the planet's inhabitants and mysteries before falling to disaster? Looming over her is the threat of a potentially hostile and deadly alien species with weapons and technology just as advanced as her own.

Ready yourself for an interstellar adventure, full of exploration, resource management, and equipment crafting in the face of adversity on a wild frontier world in this new thrilling Sci-fi Survival LitRPG!

Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats.  Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality.  Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways.... more>>

But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests.  A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible.  Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level.  Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves.

This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand.  This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence.  This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia.  But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever...

However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

Robert lived his life like many other people on Earth, he just had a specific fear instilled within him from his love of books. Like... more>> many others, it was hard to disregard the constant negative information being doled out in every form of media. This caused him to fear the loss of knowledge and books that had provided him solace in times of need in his life. He collected and stored thousands of books ranging from web novels to college textbooks on physics. This was an irrational fear of his until the world changed and that knowledge gave him a step above everyone else.

MC reincarnated as her in game character in another world but with a small twist, she knew about it ahead of time and had time to prepare. She made sure to farm all the items that would be more useful in the real world than in the game. Gold bars may be low level crafting material in the game, but you wished you had a few stacks of them in real life.... more>>

- Very overpowered MC.
- Comedy focus, with occasional serious moments.
- Multiple POV's, and first-person POV is used frequently.
- MC is selfish, playful, slightly erratic, and determined to mess with other people at every possible opportunity.

But with all that wealth and power, what would be her goal?
Is it to lead a shadowy organization or to be a Legendary adventurer? Maybe to make her own business or even a kingdom, having her own religion that worships her as a God is also an option.

But why should you limit yourself to a singular goal? Given the opportunity, you might as well do as many of them as you can.
She wants to experience every popular cliché, visit all the cool places, do every cool thing she can possibly think of and, most importantly, to have a good time doing it.

After all, most people aren’t one-dimensional enough to be satisfied with only a one thing if they can get more. <<less

*Irregular Chapter Releases

WHAT TO EXPECT: A highly competent ruthless protagonist that acts and behaves like a proper general. He becomes intimidating, commanding and doesn't blink if he needs to get his hands dirty. He is a true evil protagonist. I hate beta and "nice" MC with a passion, so he is the exact opposite. TRIGGER WARNING: RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION.

I DO NOT SUPPORT NAZIS
Please don't take any views in my novel seriously, I just wrote this for fun, I don't support any Nazi ideals and behaviours. I just like the idea of a WW2 German army using modern equipment in a fantasy world.
