In the confines of her chamber, Vivian, deeply humiliated, made the tragic decision to take her own life. The crown prince's abandonment for another and... more>> the subsequent humiliation proved unbearable. The royal family's calculated move to banish her from the city by arranging an engagement with a coarse baron's son further shattered her and her family's reputation and dignity.

For time immemorial, the Empire has waged war. ... more>>

They turned their fangs on all who wouldn’t stand with them, striking down both friend and foe alike— forging a legacy of cloaked daggers and bloody struggles in the dark. Theirs is a throne built on the backs of countless tragedies and a million atrocities.

Nevertheless, time passes, and with it, so did memory of their bloodstained deeds.

Now, on an isolated island where a nation grows unchecked, where a new generation grows up without the glory of war, where age-old miracles are spun into new stories, and new inventions serve older purposes— The Empire lives in a time of mundane wonder and tenuous peace.

That isn’t to say that the old horrors have been idle, despite being forgotten.

Where war no longer decimates the street, insidious growths flourish in the shadows of the city's golden lights; modern nightmares veiled in theological lace and rotting silks prowl the dark, all the while less monstrous monsters grow fat on the ruins of war-torn nations.

In another world, heroes wielding virtuous ideals and divine decrees would’ve taken a stand, but the era of stark villainy and righteous heroics are long dead, mercilessly ground to dust and buried beneath the ashes of their world.

Yet despite this, nestled within the capital proper, lives a girl who wants nothing more than to live a steady life. The issues within her society couldn’t mean less to her. After all, she has bigger things to worry about, like deciding what to wear, unearthing the secrets of long-lost art, and fulfilling those promises she made all those years ago.

But as the novelty of peace grows old, and as old plans come to fruition and older enemies crawl into the light, her plans to secure a quiet life grow more distant than ever.

Starry Eyed is a high fantasy web novel about troubled individuals trying to make their way in an uncaring world, where larger-than-life problems often seem more insignificant than personal ones, where old virtues are perverted and new evils are caught in a bittersweet light. The story is set in a world where modern-day fantasy magic meets Victorian and steampunk revolution, in a time similar to our own second industrial revolution, with hints of enlightenment and renaissance era ideals, mixed with contemporary themes.

All Oscar Bromley wants is a little peace and quiet. An alchemist with no friends, family, or aspirations, he has consigned himself to a life of misanthropy. Unfortunately, his vampiric half is acting up; haunted by hungers he cannot control, violent intrusive thoughts, and an alter ego that hunts at night, it seems there's no one to save him.... more>>

Or so he thought.

Alabastra Camin is a thieving urban folk hero and adventurer extraordinaire. She, and her partners in crime Faylie and Tegan, are Oscar's (begrudging) old acquaintances, shop regulars, and thorns in his side... Yet they may just be the key to solving his blood curse. They're intent on taking him on an adventure, where they'll lie, steal, cheat, uncover a dark plot of conquest, rediscover some buried personal truths, and maybe even fall a little bit in love.

Whether he likes it or not.

As part of the ambitious Vanguard 3 Program, a space shuttle embarks on a mission to Mars, carrying within it a lander and a state-of-the-art humanoid robot. Its purpose is clear: prepare Mars for human habitation, constructing bases, infrastructure, and vital facilities. Yet, as the shuttle makes its journey between Earth and Mars, it inexplicably vanishes, leaving mission control and the world's scientists baffled.
Emerging from a void-crack in the sky of an alien world, the lost shuttle releases its lander, which makes a successful descent onto this strange planet. As the lander's doors open and the robot initiates its systems, it's met not with the red sands of Mars, but an enigmatic realm where... more>> spiritual energies pulse and cultivators wield power beyond any machine's comprehension.
Lost and far from its intended destination, the robot must navigate a world of martial arts, mythical creatures, powerful sects and immortals. With its advanced AI and unique technological adaptations, the robot begins to bridge the vast chasm between the pinnacle of human innovation and the profound depths of the Dao.

*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.

There’s a fact that every trillionaire in the Terran Accord knows: Power on Antares always comes with a price. And it was true; almost every position of power within the jurisdiction of the Antares Authority had some sort of string attached. ... more>>

Yet an entire third of the Antares Authority’s budget is exempt from public scrutiny, a gigantic bucket of odds and ends that the masses aren't allowed to know any details on. It's a glaring exception to the rule. Accountability is completely impossible. The money is poured down a hole and not subject to any form of oversight. Nobody knows a single thing they do — not even the very legislators who approve it, every single year, without failure. Whoever is in charge of this is one glaring exception to this rule: They have power without a price. Or so it seems…

Xia Zuoyi traversed and became a beautiful and delicate little lord in a fictional Western medieval fantasy novel. His gender was male, he loved males, and the role was cannon fodder. Under the shining halo of the Mary Sue heroine, in order to promote the development of the plot, he was constantly mentally disabled. He was, eventually, convicted and hanged to death.... more>>

After passing through, Xia Zuoyi touched his white and tender neck and thought, ‘I don’t want to be gay. I’m going to do infrastructure. It was better to do infrastructure than to fall in love! Please let me be beautiful alone! Thank you!’

Pope/Duke/Leader: Did we agree?

Here, the upper class was distinct from the lower class. The hierarchy was strict. Here, food was in short supply, medicine was backward, and city-state disputes continued. The prosperity of the nobility and the depression of the common people flourished together. Here was the romantic capital, but also the wild world.

There were rumors in the Western Continent that the Pope had the favor of God, the Grand Duke had more power than the king, and the leader of the chamber of commerce took over the wealth of the empire. However, Xia Zuoyi, in the name of Lord Rose, promoted the civilization and economic development of the whole Western Continent, unified city-states, and created a powerful industrial empire. He was the glory and the most vivid rose of the empire. Rumor had it that the Pope, the Grand Duke, and the Leader all bowed under his pants, but Lord Rose was dismissive.

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
