The Emperor singlehandedly saved the people of Vealand. Everyone knows that and everybody in Vealand adores him as a hero and the savior of their nation.

Dren though, says differently. As a Memory Mage and the leader of the Rebellion, he's desperate to prove that the Emperor is a false savior. He bets his life on it.

He fails that bet and fails in his last attempt at transfering his memories into the mind of one of the Emperor's Inquisitors. Now it's up two the two most unlikely people, Aris Ravenscroft, the head of Fiell's city guards and Kestrel, a street rat, to save Vealand from a monster that it worships as a savior.

Those who are as different from other men as the soul from the body or man from beast are slaves by nature. For them it is better to be ruled in accordance with this sort of rule, if such is the case for the other things mentioned. It is not advantageous for one to be held in slavery who is not a natural slave, for such a condition is sustained solely by force and results in enmity. ... more>>

Dungeons are dangerous, unpredictable death traps that have cost countless adventurers their lives. They are also the only source of magical crystals, the fuel that powers most aspects of civilization.... more>>

Enter the Department of Dungeons, a continent-spanning organization dedicated to policing dungeons for optimal returns. Less death, more gains.

Dungeon Inspector Badger and his junior, Ferrisdae, travel from dungeon to dungeon performing their duty for the safety of all. Not long after Badger takes his apprentice under his wing, they're called in to undertake a dangerous mission.

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

I have always thought I would live out my life without any major surprises. You know, work on the estates of my parents, serve my time as a soldier, become a senator, a praetor, maybe a consul in time. I thought I will live the life that a Roman noble of my standing can count on.... more>>

But this was not to be. My previously simple life got suddenly very complicated. I was taken from my home, and now I have to live in a world where no one speaks Latin, no one prays to my gods, and no one knows what the heck garum is. Before, I thought I had all the answers, but now only questions remain.

Will I survive? Will I find my way back home? Will I ever be able to get the savage bastards living here to adopt the great accomplishments of Roman civilisation?

Not even the gods know the answers. One thing is for sure: should I ever get home again; I will never set a foot outside of my estate without a healthy stockpile of garum. <<less

Meanwhile, a young lesbian stripper unknowingly becomes the heir to the family fortune. In a matter of days, her chaotic life and circumstances attract the attention of the wrong people: Ambitious aristocrats, gold diggers, corrupt federal agents... and a rogue android on the loose.

What to expect:

* A slow start (around 6 chapters) showcasing the main characters' daily lives

* More realistic depictions of sex and complicated relationships

* The detective's view of a futuristic dystopian society
* Cyberpunk. Lots of cyberpunk.
* Buddy-cop interactions
* Some fast-paced action scenes
* Occasional scene of fascists having their asses kicked.

What NOT to expect:

* Badass, overpowered protagonists to fulfill the reader's power fantasies
* Shonen battles
* Saving the day with the power of friendship
* Stupid misunderstandings that would get solved if everyone just decided to communicate
* Unnecessarily long love triangles
* Clear distinction between good and evil, right and wrong
* Toned-down fluff and romance that parents would buy for their teenage kids

Content warnings:

* Mentions of suicide / suicide attempts
* A racist and xenophobic society (not the protagonists)
* (Frustrated) sexual assault from the victim's POV

So follow Samantha on her new life as Lucia, as she continues her strange hobbies and interests and her companions may need to fear for themselves and their sanity.

It's safe to assume that she is one of the few if not only person and most of her new companions are defiantly not among them.

Authors notes: This is the first novel that I am posting on scribble hub and I hope that it goes well. Though I have no clue how to judge that.

I am currently looking for a image to use, though it isn't easy. I will eventually find one to use. If you wish to send one in, it would be appreciated and if I like it I might just use it. ( and give credit).

This is inspired by table top Call of Cthulhu and overall Lovecraftian horror (Not the actual books written by Lovecraft since I haven't read any of them) That I hope to put a twist it. Though it will all be mostly orginal conent ( I hope).
It will be posted on Both Scribble hub and Royal Road.

In a world of mystical powers and equally mystical dangers, Dai Gengrui stood at the peak of his world, he united the entire world under his rule, his flag. At 10,000 years old, his empire crumbled, unable to withstand the test of time.

He was betrayed and killed by his own daughter.

Reborn in a new world that even he could not understand, he aimlessly built up power with no sense of purpose, with no will to conquer. That was until he heard the words:

"Yo, would you like to join the Secret Society of Reincarnated Souls?"

He was intrigued.

A Xianxia final boss, a chuunibyou, a "mob" character of an otame game and a mentally unstable sorcerer form a secret organization.

What a disaster looming upon an unsuspecting world of magic and soul weapons.

A few words from the author:

So, I wrote a chapter one night and decided to post it without any plan whatsoever. So I decided it would be nice to make it my first published story so I can improve my writing for my proper stories. Let's see where this goes! I don't expect to be writing this for long, well actually, after writing for a while I realized this series may run more than 70 chapters of 2.5k-4k word length, we shall see how this goes.

Idk what's with me and reincarnated OP beings, I hope this doesn't turn into a power fantasy...

Themes(for the contest):
Non-mainstream weapons(Try to guess)
Duality of a secret life (MC is secretly a drug- I mean Pill Lord, yeah.)

Tannel died young, yet his legacy as a mage remains unparalleled. A prodigy in the magic of machinery, his techniques have not been fully replicated three hundred years after his passing, and the creation of an artificial life has never been successfully attempted again. But the greatest of his deeds was one that cost him his life, a sacrifice that he made willingly to halt a catastrophe, though then he did not yet understand the true extent of the threat to the entire world.... more>>

Never did he expect that he would yet live again. Nor would he have wished for it, for the terrible price for his second chance was paid by his own family, who had taken on his mantle of sacrifice in his absence. Centuries have passed and the world is no longer as he once knew it. The body he now inhabits was someone else's, and even the nature of his own existence eludes his understanding. But what has not changed is the weight of his responsibilities.

But it is also his chance to tackle the threats that remain, that had forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, to solve the mysteries that he never had the time to unveil, but which nonetheless would not let him rest at peace. With ancient things on the move and numerous magics at work that evade his comprehension, these are challenges to his pride that can't be left unanswered.

Do you think that you are a true otaku? The weeb that consumes one terrible rom-com light novel adaptaion after another? Do you think you are so experienced in the field of cliche-packed harems, that you might as well just get isekai'd into one and guide your confused friends toward the 'True End'?... more>>

Hiro Chikakane would answer 'yes' to all of the above. Although he heroically decided to reject his otaku self, his fate had other plans for him.
One day, during his very first date with his very first actual 3D girlfriend, both of them get hit by the infamous truck and find themselves transported into... a harem, rom-com light novel with a ridiculously long title.

As something of a scientist himself, Hiro is faced with the most weeb challenge of all - To perfectly recreate all the rom-com cliches and thus finish the storyline with the help of totally original cast of The Main Girl, The Tsundere Childhood Friend, The Not-Related-By-Blood Younger Sister and (not so) many more.

Will Hiro and the team discover the secrets of the anime-esque world they found themselves in? Will they actually make this goddamn maid cafe in the 'School Festival Arc'? And most importantly, will Hiro decide... WHO IS THE BEST GIRL??? <<less
