Does true love even exist anymore? ... more>>

I devoted everything to her, she was the pearl in my palm, I would even sacrifice my life for her. Everything I did, I did for her love. To meet her expectations yet...what awaited me was the cruelest of betrayals.

Was I wrong?

All I asked was to be accepted to have my feeling reciprocated. Is that too much to ask for?

There is nothing left for me in this world, all that I’ve given can never be returned. That’s why...it’s better to just abandon it all.

Maybe the next time I open my eyes, a better world awaits.

Unbeknownst to him being reincarnated in the middle of an ancient process; a sacred ritual, a ritual that has been disrupted⁠ and broken. Born as a natural enemy of humanity, and now an enemy of its own kind. In a world ran by weird laws and an odd system. How will he get out of this mess?

It was a freak accident. Someone ran the light at an intersection and before I knew it... my world turned black. But I didn't die then. Instead, I was forced to lament and regret over all of my failures. Lament about how this so-called genius was lower than dirt even at the very end.... more>>

And that should have been it. After my consciousness faded, I should have disappeared.

But I woke up.

A different world, another life. A fresh start.
This time, for sure...!

My bad habit kicked in. I've been rereading and watching Mushoku Tensei recently and got the itch to write this. Kind of self-insert, but not really. Extremely self-indulgent though, so if things don't make too much sense... er, sorry in advance?

Stuart doesn't really know why he's going to college. He doesn't know why he's in the metamorphic-science program. In fact, he doesn't really know why he's doing *anything,* other than a vague sense of obligation and persistent existential angst. But when he and two of his classmates are caught in a freak lab accident, he suddenly has much bigger things to worry about instead. (Well, make that "in addition to.") With he and his lab partners stuck trying to cope with unfamiliar new bodies, deal with angry *and* curious faculty members, re-integrate into campus life, and come to terms with their own personal issues, it's anybody's guess where it will all end up for them...... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> The first standalone novel from the weirdo who ringled a number of long-running and highly eclectic interactive stories on Fiction Branches and elsewhere, it's a (hopefully more structured and focused) slice-of-life mad-science gender-bender dramedy full of introspection, emotional growth, and what another author in the community refers to as "gender feels" (plus some good old-fashioned mildly sexy hijinks and dirty jokes.) Don't miss it! Or miss it, whatever, it'll still be here. C'mon. You know you want to.

A romantic comedy and story of self-discovery set in the early 2000s. Content warning for depictions of homophobia and transphobia not uncommon to that era. Also contains: bisexuality, polyamory, gender dysphoria, mild angst, and references to shitty early aughts pop punk music.

In a dark future, the demonic Grim Horde rules most of the Earth, and Britain has just fallen. The last survivor of the island is the young wizard Soren Marlowe, the newest student at the Nagoya Academy of Magic. To all appearances, he is a normal enough young man, if a little girl crazy. ... more>>

Little do they know that he’s an exiled devil, one of the very same demons who helped destroy the fallen island! Now thrust into the middle of someone else’s romantic comedy, Soren will need to think fast to keep his secret and, just maybe, find a little romance.

*This is my first story so all criticisms are welcome just try to be respectful, I'm fragile.*

Things to keep in mind/Warnings:
This is primarily the marvel world with only a few characters and locations from DC. I don't actually know that much about DC at least not as much as I know about marvel tbh. so any DC character I add will likely be a bit OCC but I don't plan on adding too many in the first place. That being said don't expect me to completely follow the rules of Marvel or DC. Histories might be changed, powers might be acquired differently, etc. As far as Marvel goes, it's going to be a mix of 1610, MCU, and 616 so don't go into this just expecting MCU. <<less

The Angelic Saints are the only force protecting the hearts of innocents from the evil Abyssal Forest and its monstrous Beasts.

But Charlie isn't one of them. He has no magic, no powers and no hidden wells of inner strength he can use to always triumph over the villains. He is not beautiful or strong or brave, no matter how much he wishes he could be. Instead, he finds himself held hostage by what feels like every other monster of the week.

Charlie would give almost anything to stand with the Saints. And yet, when he finally gets an offer to step onto the stage and claim everything he's ever wanted, Charlie finds that the price may be too high. <<less

"How endlessly dull."... more>>

Noah and his friends are transported to another world in a severely flawed summoning ritual, and are consequently significantly weaker than what they should have been.

And yet, they defy all odds, and still manage to seemingly defeat all demons and find themselves confronting the Demon Lord.

They are less than fleas before him.

With deep psychological scars, they are replaced by heroes far surpassing the historical standard, exiled and left to rot.

But they refuse.

And why does The Hero seem to think she is the one that needs saving?

“How can I get stronger only at Level 0?!...”
When an encounter with truck-kun should have led to a new... more>> life, Kawari defies fate's call for reïncarnation. Pressed down by looming regrets and an uncaring mother, he hoped for a better restart.
Instead, he gains a rare gift—the ability to traverse between two worlds.
But this newfound power comes at a cost. The Adventurers’ Guild refuses to register him, leaving him locked at Level 0. And with the Royal Marshal already aware of his presence in their world, they hunt to begin their crusade with one goal:
To slay him.
He is an outsider who doesn’t belong anywhere. As Kawari hones his capabilities without increasing his level he forms a ragtag party, and embarks on a journey fueled from the promises of those he cares for on both sides. From rebels to masters, members of the Royal Marshal join the underdog’s struggle for their own values.
From Level 0, a heartfelt, slow tale of self-discovery, and the appreciation of life.
