Juggling their responsibilities as magical girls with high school and their other friendships, the Saints will never give up their struggle against the forces of Sin and darkness!... more>>

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.

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 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.

***The Gender Bending Has Nothing To Do With The Protagonist***... more>>

Samuel Roland Raith is a White Court Vampire living his life on the run but is otherwise completely normal. He likes to watch movies, read books, play video games, and feast on the emotion of lust from those around him. His entire race has been wiped out and hunted down by a group of megalomaniacs from the Red Court of Vampires called the Volturi. So, as far as he is aware, he is the last of his kind. He spends his time roaming the world, going through high school and college, again and again, to feed and avoid ever making meaningful connections.

White Court Vampires are unique and very different from their more popular Red Court brethren. Free from bloodlust and able to walk in the sunlight, they live their lives almost as if they were completely human. Their only true weakness is the opposite emotion they feed on, in Samuel's case, love. If he ever were to find love—true love especially—he would be in for a world of hurt. It's a good thing true love is so hard to find!

His newest adventure is at a high school in Forks Washington, and he fully expects it to go just as the last 40 years on the run has. Feed off the lust of teenagers, live quietly, and move on after college. No worries, right?

A/N: This is a gender-bent Alternate Universe version of the Twilight books & movies with a mix of the White Court Vampires, themes, and organizations based loosely on The Dresden Files books. Not all characters will be gender-swapped, but many will be.

The romance will be MC and Alice - If you are looking for that ahead of time.

*Prior Pokemon knowledge is not required to enjoy this story*

-A darker and more realistic take on Pokémon overall, including occasional graphic violence

There's a story of a witch cloaked in shadows. Some say she died in the war, after joining hands with a demon. But whispers in the dark lingered on. If Illius prayed, would she come? If he begged, would she save him? No. Illius had no need for myths and stories. The horns that marred his skull marked him as a beast, a freak. He deserved his cage, the shackles on his wrists. Miracles weren't meant for the cursed.... more>>

This is a fanfiction based in the world of Tokyo Ghoul, in the year of 2024, so around the time that the last episode of Tokyo Ghoul, the one that shows Ken's and Touka's child, happens.

In this work, there will be some references to actual events within Tokyo Ghoul, although no meeting with canon characters from the original creation, nor from the works of other authors.

I will be adding tags as I go, because although I have a vague idea of the plot, nothing is yet truly set in stone, other than the main character.

Also, to those who have already read my stories, which honestly wasn't a lot of people, I apologise for not continued those stories. I had a huge loss of motivation, and I couldn't write them anymore. <<less
