The swarm.
A unitary force of countless entities.
Nightmarish creatures from the darkest depths.
All working towards a greater purpose.
Simply fulfilling their role in a complex system.
Abducted from the world I know I am now forced to become a part of this.
Forced to help these horrors to increase their power.
However, they are not mindless killers.
There might be a way for me.
I could influence them from the inside.
To prevent that anyone has to die.
To protect the ones I love.
Maybe I can adjust.... more>>

In a remote corner of Unova, a Pokémon village hides from the omnipresent, barbarous humanity. Through cooperation, they flourish despite their small size, rising above the uncaring brutality of the natural order. Which works remarkably well...... more>>

...until a half dead girl shows up on their doorstep.

Will this hidden pocket of Pokémon civilization remain a secret once humans come looking? Are its denizens prepared to learn just who this unwelcome stranger is, and what impact they’ve already left on their village?

Drama-focused mystery thriller focusing heavily on humanity being “the other”, trauma, and trust. <<less

Sara wakes up in a place she doesn't recognise, not remembering what happened to her, or how she might have gotten there. And soon discovers she isn't in a body she recognises either. Not even a human body!
The world she finds herself in is from a newly released VRMMORPG called Moorhold Online, and she has to figure out how she wants to live her new life.... more>>

I started posting this on AO3, and that will probably remain my priority, but formatting options are somewhat limited over there, so I wanted to see if this place would offer more in terms of letting me make the story to look as I want it to.

The text is somewhat updated over the original edition, but it isn't quite a v2.0. More a v1.1.

I am really not familiar with how this site works, so I don't know if I've handled the tags and everything correctly.
Real life issues have interfered with things on the writing/posting front, but I hope to still be able to post once or twice a week. Hopefully things will pick back up eventually. <<less

Note: Sorry, month-long hiatus until June 25th, 2023 due to family stuff! Please see the new "update"! ... more>>

Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

Sue, a lowly comp-sci student with no knowledge of Pokémon, must persevere within their world after waking up as a Gardevoir. With the locals and their language completely alien to her, even the refuge she receives feels uncertain.... more>>

Local deities invading her dreams and using her as a pawn don’t help, either.

As Sue uncovers this world’s scarred history, her god-mending task becomes increasingly clear, as does its difficulty. Despite that, and her limited grasp of her own powers, she keeps trying, for her goal remains the same.

To survive and make it home, no matter what.

Xenofiction Mystery / Slice of Life, told from the perspective of someone with no Pokémon knowledge at all. Major themes include self discovery, xenophobia, overcoming guilt, and forging one's own fate against the powers that be. <<less

Ryan was walking home from work after a long day of work when he got hit by a truck and killed. Instead of finding himself in the afterlife, he wakes up in the black abyss of space as a spaceship. To make matters worse, his new body barely functions and without the help of others he is doomed to die again. Can he find the right people to bring repair him, or will he doom them to die with him?... more>>

*Author's note*

This is a rewrite of Starship Reincarnator, with hopefully more likable characters. <<less

This is the tale of an epic battle between the embryo of a hero and the egg of a demon lord.... more>>

Okay, so perhaps 'epic' is overselling it a bit, given that there are serious mobility issues on both sides of the conflict, but they're trying their best, bless them.

Then perhaps it is the tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship?

But again, the way a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally means that it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait.

Then it's the tale of a pair of new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them, particularly when people start receiving involuntary flower-based makeovers? Of an unborn hero speedrunning the plot so efficiently that it'll all be over before she even gets around to being born?

Yes, that one's more accurate.

Also, some numbers go up, with accompanying dings. And one (highly important) number goes way down.
———————————
This story was born as a complete joke on discord, out of someone complaining about womb arcs and how utterly ridiculous they were. I responded by threatening to write a story that was entirely womb arc. And then, because I'm a bit silly sometimes, I did. It's not pure skill grinding, though; I was nice enough to let her have some interaction with the real world. Nevertheless, at time of writing, I seem to be averaging two dings per chapter.

This story is the continuation from A Mage in Marvel,... more>> if you have not already read that story. You should do so before continuing. This novel is longer than the first one, so it may be a bit much for some, but sadly as with a good story it was just too hard to reduce or remove some parts, as each chapter somewhat leads to the next.

Sexual Content is ticked, because in this novel unlike the last one there are a couple of explicit scenes. They are not full chapters but the shorter Interludes and are marked with a (NSFW) in their chapter title. Gore is ticked, because again, these are generally super humans fighting and killing regular people, so it can be a bit messy. Strong Language is ticked, because some of these characters just have potty mouth and swear.

Each chapter will be between 2500 and 3000 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500-1800 words). [Note i do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 words longer]
Updates will be on Tue, Thur and maybe Sat or Sun.
Cover art is a work in progress, that was a commission. The artist requested that i did not post his name. <<less

This is a Japanese manga/anime -style slice of life high school romance with a splash of sci-fi. In this kind of romance friendship plays a big role compared to your standard western romance. Ensemble cast, so if you only want one main character this is not for you. <<less

More than 30 stone of muscles and bones, the best of goat, cat, and squirrel (do not underestimate them) merged with a stale soul using outlawed magic; appearing on a battlefield, with more strength and endurance than the centaurs. The next step for the Kwal armies. The signs were clear.... more>>

But the capitulation came before she was awaken. And everybody's first thought was 'how cute', by unanimous vote of either children, healers, clerics, or mages. It certainly wasn't because Kiara remembered being pushed in front of a subway train during rush hour and couldn't speak a word. Even with claws out and fangs bared, their scare would last only seconds. Otherwise cute.

Now, she had to find her way to fit into a human society with her unique body. And seize the chances it offers to her.

Little fighting, heavy on medieval slice of life of the semi-human main character. No game elements.

Things are bad enough for fourteen-year-old Erin Archer when an accident shatters her dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. But they get even worse when she has a strange reaction to her pain medications and begins seeing terrifying visions of a mysterious, inhuman figure.... more>>

Desperate for help and answers, Erin's parents send her to spend the summer with her mother's cousin, Kirchel Marin—a skilled herbalist who's obviously hiding a few mysteries of her own.

But before they have a chance to solve any of Erin's problems, one of her visions causes her to stumble onto Kirchel's biggest secret...and into a completely different world. A world full of magic and monsters. A world where Erin might just find the answers she's looking for.

As long as she doesn't get herself killed first....

A dark, science fantasy tale of a man, Subject 513, sent to another world as an experimental test subject.... more>>

WARNING: This is not your typical isekai, wish-fulfillment story. You have been warned.

In the year 2022, a mass-transit of test subjects occurred inside the confines of a vast, underground research facility. The 500 or-so individuals taking part in this secret experiment -- labelled: The 1st Beta Phase -- were force-transferred to another world under the direction of Project Prometheus.

These test subjects had one, singular role: to act as "baseline tests" for future, planned experiments.

Among the individuals taking part in the experiment, was Subject 513…

...sirens blared throughout the 4th Research Facility as an anomalous event transpired within one of the many transfer pods...

“Subject 513: missing. Force-transfer procedure has been cancelled. Foreign matter detected.”

Those were the last words uttered by the life-support system monitoring Subject 513’s vitals, as it shut down indefinitely.

As 513’s consciousness faded into the void, his physical presence left on Earth crumbled to dust, blanketing the floor of the transfer pod he was stored within, in grey ash...

...when he awoke, the last few years of his life had seemingly been plucked-away from his memories. And to make matters worse, he found himself trapped under the gaze of a ravenous beast, ready to tear him apart...

Join Subject 513 on his grueling journey of struggle, misery, and search for purpose, as he navigates through an unfamiliar world alone.

Your average save the world trope with a dark twist.... more>>

Currently: The Oracle's Penance

Oracles were known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator to give guidance to the people. What does it mean if the title of Oracle is bestowed upon an individual? A call for adventuring, dungeon diving, slaying monster, right? Maybe. Before an individual named Kihet, An Enui from a secluded village could fulfill his dream of embarking a grand adventure, a tragedy from his past returned to haunt him.

Kihet couldn’t remember much of an unfortunate accident that left many important hunters and loved ones dead. He only recalled a vague memory of a mysterious man etching a cursed symbol on him and recited some words from an ominous book in hand.

"For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested.
Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials.
Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk.
Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world."

What does it mean? Does it relate to the mysterious Tower only Kihet and his friends could see? What dark secrets unfold as he tried to look for answers?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story starts after the prologue arc. Some tags do not apply until main story starts.
All content warnings on to give myself a bit more freedom.

She learns a new language, how to fly, and begins down the path of using the elemental axioms.

How will Evetta deal with the ever-growing threat of the fairy hunters, while learning about the circumstances surrounding her separation from her family? <<less

When Izdaha Saya receives a sponsor letter to compete in a high-stakes fighting tournament, she jumps at the chance. But the tournament is more than just a test of skill and bravery. It is a battleground for corporate greed, corruption, and the future of the three desert nations.... more>>

As Saya and her fellow fighters converge in a notorious company 'Al-Wa,' she soon discovers that the competition has been corrupted by those seeking to profit from its brutal spectacle. Some are motivated by greed, while others seek revenge against the system that has oppressed them.

Against this backdrop of violence and avarice, a girl, a boy from the slums, and a noble of an eastern kingdom struggle to find meaning in a world that seems determined to crush their ideals. Here in a small tale of many, they search for the courage to fight for their principles.

“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.

Book 1 in the Nath'aniel Series
Mages, a subspecies of humanity which were forgotten to the pages of history. They were able to wield the energies of magic easier and quicker than any other group that attempted to learn the mystic arts on Earth. And today centuries, if not millennia, since their disappearance the Earth is different. We have planes and tanks, internet and radio. But it has other groups appearing as well. The Enhanced, people empowered through science to be better, stronger than the average person. And Mutants, those born with the rare X gene that grant them wondrous powers of varying application, that can trigger at any time. Sometimes at birth, puberty, or... more>> when you discover you wife and children dead in a trench. With some being as strong or stronger than an Enhanced, to people being able to manipulate metal and turn the various tools of the modern day against their user. But what would happen, when a group of these naturally Enhanced, the Brotherhood of Mutants, on the run from the law were to find one of the last bastions of the Magi. And perhaps the last mage.

This story is inspired by other Marvel fanficion, but takes concepts from outside of Marvel. This world is not the MCU, it is not the 616. It is a world inspired by them. Also it holds rules and mechanics inspired from the Fate Anime series, namely the concept of Servants. Humans empowered by myth and magic to be more than they are. This is novel 1 of a planned series, how long will it be I am not certain yet. But I did not want to just shove you, the reader, into a wild and twisted world, but rather build up to it, so some of you may see it as a slow burn. But hopefully for those of you giving it a shot, you will find it and the characters an entertaining distraction.

Sexual Content is ticked because there is sex hinted in one chapter of this book, but later books may be more blatant. (This is not smut). Gore is ticked because combat it semi realistic, super powered people will tear and rend normal opponents apart. Strong Language is ticked because some characters will be swearing.

Each chapter will be between 2200 and 2800 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500 words). [Note i do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 word longer]
Updates will be on Tue, Thur and maybe Sat or Sun.
