You've probably heard this sort of story before.... more>>

Once upon a time, blah blah blah a boy and a girl fell love and everything was beautiful and perfect, except for this thing called life getting in their way.

He was this cool foreign prince and she was basically perfect. Really it's a very boring run of the mill story. I'll even spoil it for you, they kill the villianness at the end.

Not the type of story I'd read personally.

So where do I fit into this?

Apparently I'm her older twin sister and the very very lucky fiance to the foreign prince. You know, the dead villainess? Sucks I know.

Now I get to do it all over again from the beginning.

Curse my life

------
Let's get the worst of it out of the way first: This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. It's an isekai/reborn type Slice of Life novel that plays on the villainess noble girl trope but the MC gets no OP cheats, no magical powers, not even some satisfying face slapping or such self-fulfillment fantasy. Wow, I'm doing a terrible job advertising this thing.

This is an awkward novel, the pacing is slow, and there are no time skips. For some reason still, I really love this little story I'm making.

=====================================================================

Vampires are creatures of the night that fulfill their desires from dusk till dawn. Inhabiting the dark caves of the Kazimir mountains, the other races mostly disregard the unintelligent bloodthirsty creatures.

Damien Nightshade, third in line to the vampire throne, a descendant of an S-rank existence, is ostracized by his siblings and forced to leave the comfort of the caves. How will this germophobic, lazy, bloodthirsty vampire fit within the human realm?

This is Damien's dilemma as he awakens in a vampire’s body inside a familiar room, one belonging to a villain in the popular VR game "Throne and Awakening".

Damien considers himself a veteran of the game; he knew the game's storyline better than anyone with five years of experience and thousands of hours. Yet the internet wouldn't agree with him. A true veteran had to complete the game as the character "Damien Nightshade", the vampire prince hated by all living existences.

With the game world becoming reality and with knowledge of the storyline. Damien must venture out to avoid the many death flags looming over his head and seize every opportunity awaiting him.

But first, maybe he should deal with his maid, who silently plots his murder while he sleeps.

This tale is set in a magical world with a heavy emphasis on kingdom building, twisted nobles, and gruelling politics with sprinkles of magic, mystery, and the occasional action scene. Throne and Awakening is a world packed with danger around every corner. Join Damien as he attempts to navigate this terrifying world with the knowledge he should not possess and atypical powers that have no business belonging to a Vampire. <<less

Cover by @gbsartworks <<less

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

Disclaimer:

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Finished #3 in ScribbleHub’s Adventum Contest!... more>>

A woman dies in a rather embarrassing way, and is reborn into a shapeless void, as a god.

Now, after accidentally renaming herself "Snooze", she has become a Level One God, and must learn everything she can about how to control her new abilities--including Creation Management!

A silly stitch of fate, Snooze begins to grow more powerful as she combines elements, creates a world, and has to combat the flighty whims of her rosy-glowing archangel named Meat.

This is a work of comedy (or an attempt at it, in any case.)

Illustration for the cover is by the wonderful and talented dathie / @dathieart (on Instagram)

Arthur Zemira. After his mother's death, he gave up his position as crown prince to the son of the new empress to avoid civil war.

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.

With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. ... more>>

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

“I was born with an extremely prestigious but combat-weak logistics class. As the son of the clan head and the next heir, that just wasn’t enough of an excuse to spare me from my father’s grueling training.

For in his creed the only strength that mattered was that grasped in one’s own two hands.

In my journey through the lands with my harem, I was grateful for his training as it saved my life multiple times when my girls weren’t there to engage in combat.

This is my story.”

Blood for the Blood God! For the Dark Prince! Rot and Ruin! Plans within plans!

A man gets thrown into the original world of his favourite game as his Day 1 bug-exploit character by unanimous agreement of the Four Chaos Gods who, in their boredom, demand little more from him than entertainment.

Now Erik must survive in the unforgiving northern wastes of Norsca where the tribes will as gladly fight each other as work together to raid their southern and western neighbours to obtain food, supplies and thralls. All for surviving the bitter winters and to earn the favour of their Dark Gods.

He must fight, kill, raid & conquer, for the God of Blood & Honour is never at peace.
He will seek excitement, pleasure & perfection, for the Dark Prince of Pleasure is never satisfied.
He must persevere, bring stability to his realm and bring assured destruction to his foes, for the Plague Father is inevitable.
And he shall hunt for artefacts of great power and learn the wisdom hidden in ancient tomes, for the God of Change hungers for power.

Changing his life forever.

Life is filled with the unexpected.... more>>

Today is another normal day in life, as I passed the time with my friends to bully the cursed superd child feared in the village to show our might to her.

A water ball suddenly hit us.

The kid from the knight's office was unleashing his spell to attack us, the bully.

Never would I expect that simple water ball to create a trigger for memories to fill my brain.

I was 5 at that time, and the memories were jumbled. I don't know whether it’s mine or another's. I just know that this is not a memory of a single person.

And, from that memory, I know that I’m actually a mob...

I’m one of Sylphiette’s bullies.

You won’t know me since I am not named in any of the works, whether they were manga, novels, or even anime. Heck, I only say one word and I'm dead in the next part.

an actual mob, where I don’t even appear in either the opening or the ending of the anime.

The thing happened so suddenly.

I don’t know whether I am reincarnated, transmigrated, or just receiving some memories from someone in the real world.

The deadline is 5 years from now, the day the Metastasis incident happened. Can I be another prodigy in the Mushoku Tensei world, or will I still be another slightly better mob?
