The Guild Master of Dewhurst has had a rough life. After many years of failure he rises to face his destiny and transform his decrepit Adventurer's Guild into the greatest Guild in all the realms. How? By filling it up with cute female adventurers who get powered up from making love to him, of course.... more>>

Using nothing but his massive intellect, a sharp sense for business, a pair of magic eyes and a dick blessed by the Goddess herself, he'll transform a growing harem of misfits warriors into a team strong enough to defeat the Demon Lord... If the over the top town of Dewhurst doesn't kill them first, that is. <<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

This story is primarily hosted on my blog -- https://samaran-daybreak.com/ -- where all the art/map assets can be found as well as the latest chapters. <<less

Rebirth was not something that he had thought possible. Perhaps, he had had some vague hopes of reincarnation cycles as the more desirable option to afterlife. But being reborn in what he believed to be a fictional universe had only seemed as the premise of stories.
Waking up to a void of nothing, no light, no body, no feeling, and then being thrown into the midst of what had once seemed a mere fantasy— it was too much.
As an A.I., how much could he change? Could he save Tony? Could he save the world without his sacrifice? Or should he not do anything? What if his existence was the butterfly that would destroy the... more>> timeline, and with it, the universe?
Was this even a choice? Was he to play the villain? So the timeline could remain intact?
Could he even do that?
"You doing ok, kid?" Tony asked him.
"I'm fine, Tony, really."
No, no, he couldn't.

No one ever knows the whole story... more>>

Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself.

In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation.

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

This series has been re-written starting from the prologue.
-----
Connor, a teenager in the 21st century who enjoys spending time playing military and strategy games. He is now looking forward to a VRMMO game called “Warzone” that mirrors Earth where the players start as an ordinary soldier in one of two factions, Federation or The Empire, then rise through the ranks and manage their own armies. Connor, who was looking forward to playing Warzone, put on his VR helmet. Although unbeknownst to him, where he was sent to was not… Warzone.

What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship?... more>>

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran that had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which caused his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wanted to spend some time in his grandfather’s mountain cabin, to unwind. Away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, Islamic terrorists… and that is just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens.

Can he become more than he ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be, while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things:

1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore… anyone’s, but his own.
2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him.
3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about—will rue the day they were born.

You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more.

What would you do if you got summoned to another world without your consent?... more>>

How about... Getting summoned by a dark cult and at the same time, losing something within you that will make you question if you are still yourself?

Casimir Kismet is just your regular weeb who has a hobby of cosplaying, has a loving adorable little sister, supportive parents, and friends with a common hobby as him.

An ordinary but content life if he must say.

But, not anymore.

Everything changed when he got involved in a disastrous dilemma of getting summoned to another world by a federation of dark cultists and turning him into something he never had imagined he would become. At the same time, he obtained a skill that gave him the ability to copy skills by just seeing them cast.

Changing his life forever.

Every coin has two sides, there is no such thing as pure evil or absolute righteousness. And if one is evil or righteous, it cannot be easily recognized.

But, the real question is, which side would you let come out the most?

His CONQUEST is about to begin.

But before that, let me tell you these fair warnings.

This is not a story of a hero. You have been warned.

Not everything is actually what they seem. Do not be fooled.

And most of all...

Don't show him your skills. <<less

THIS SERIES IS DROPPED. SEE DISCORD FOR ANY UPDATES ABOUT A POTENTIAL RE-WRITE.... more>>

It is a truth universally acknowledged that, when you're a harmless soul loitering around in the land of the dead, no passing god should reincarnate you into another god's world as a prank without minding the risk of you 'blowing up'. Except in the case of one nameless soul, whose reincarnating god has done just that, without even providing him with a proper body. Most people would complain at such unfair treatment. This soul - now crown - is among those people.

Then he encounters Anya, young catgirl who could wear him. And who needed him. For sometimes the world will throw the innocent into a nightmare worse than hell itself. But now they have each other, and that may just be enough of a starting point to make the world, the entire world, a better place in the end. No matter what the world throws at them.

This is not only the first story I’m posting ever (please be kind), but was also a submission into the Adventum Contest. The main theme is ‘Reincarnated as an X’, but I will also include the ‘Town/Kingdom/Empire Building’ theme after the first couple arcs - I may not reach that point before the contest ends. (Spoiler alert: I didn't.)

This series is posted only on Scribblehub. If you see it anywhere else it is stolen. The ‘cover art’ is my own.)

Julian Crane seldom cared for anything but his magic and research.... more>>

When the gods decided to damn him out of the blue, naming him Dark Lord and painting him as a Villain in the eyes of mankind, he moved on with his life, caring nothing about their scrutiny.

But their ways are ineffable, and when they start sending Heroes — mere children — to throw their lives against him, he vows to make them pay — one undead Hero at a time.

Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer.
But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games.
Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears.... more>>

But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world.

And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere.
Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation.

Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it.

Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia.

Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena.

Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire.

Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World.

Suddenly waking up without explanation in the body of a cultivation sect leader, 23-year-old student Aki ends up in quite the bind. Luckily he has one special skill: The ability to bullshit his way through anything. His confident and mysterious smile manages to convince everyone of his sagely wisdom, so no one suspects a thing!... more>>

Aki however faces a big issue – no one in this sect knows how to relax! They all believe in ironclad discipline, ascetic ways and casting off all mortal comforts in the singular pursuit of cultivation. How can Aki convince them to relax and try the joys of life?

What to expect from this novel:

-A light-hearted take on cultivation, featuring a lot of making up silly techniques.
-Sect development/economics will be treated more seriously.
-There will eventually be some romance in this, but it will take some time to get there.
-Chapters on Thursdays and Sundays <<less

Now imagine what Sybil's going through.

Watch this short and tempered child grow, seeking a home and friends to fill it and what she's willing to do to achieve her goals

[A/N:
-Sybil is very masculine looking and will occasionally be misidentified as a guy and there are going to be parts when she pretends to be a guy for fun and profit.
- Throughout the story there will be vomit-adjacent actions (i.e. cubes)
- Warning: Bugs
- The orcs, elves and dwarves aren't Tolkien types and I've done weird things to them
-While gay stuff is definitely in the future, Sybil is currently a child and is uninterested in Romance, she'll get into it when she's older and I'll be sure to announce it with bells
- I have a brain that actively works against me so it'll take a while before most of the tags become relevant in the story] <<less

Thomas and his best friend Kevin were the top players of Holy Arc Online, one of the hardest MMORPGs in the world, and also one of the worst-rated MMOs of all time. They had both embraced the challenge it provided and had finally, after years of dedication, beat the final boss of the game. However, all wasn\'t as it seemed.... more>>

Welcome to the game, Genesis.

System Integration shall now begin.

With the dawning of the apocalypse, so to comes the collapse of society. How will Thomas and his friends react to the world crashing around them? Will they be able to carve their own home in this new, and dangerous reality? And will Thoams be able to fulfill the obligations heaped upon him by the gods themselves?

Author\'s Note: As of right now the release schedule for Exodus | Book 2 of the Rise of the Paragon Series will be released weekly on Mondays, and Thursdays at 3:00 pm EST.

Writing Rise of the Paragon is a personal experiment of mine in writing a grand-scale novel within the LitRPG genre.

Fame! Fortune! Powers! You name it, Metas can have it in less than what it takes you to spell their name. You just need a System and bam! You're swinging sky-crappers around and kicking villain (or Hero) asses, with the medias licking your boots and your excessively cringeful name going down on history, for better or for worse.... more>>

Oh, but there's a catch. You have to be the lucky one in two thousand.

Lawrence is as far from lucky as one can be. He's no Meta. He can't spit freezing fire from his mouth, summon adorable monstrosities or make people hallucinate with his eyes. His boring life is as uneventful as it could be, and he is perfectly fine with it. He couldn't care less about the world of superpowers, as long as it stay away from his life...

But of course, that's not going to happen.

Generations ago, humanity colonized Astrilles, a distant frozen mineral planet. And generations ago, contact with Earth was lost, leaving the settlers stranded, left alone to fend off bug-like aliens called Voraces.... more>>

In this world, humans adapted to their unique constraints by specializing men as fighters, buffed up to exterminate those bugs, and women as carers tending to the needs of fighters. Thanks to advances in biology, children are born and raised genderless until coming of age, when they go through the assignment ceremony during which leaders decide their future gender.

The story follows the journey of XX01, a feisty teenager dedicated to becoming a fighter yet being forced into a carer's life. XX01's struggle will start with the harsh transition from being XX squadron's leader to their carer while Voraces grow stronger and bolder.

The story heavily revolves around sexual scenes and descriptions, non-consensual sex, emotional struggles and changes, and the general topics of gender roles, consent, love, friendship, duty, and rebellion. All characters are above 18.

Expect about 5 chapters per week. It's my first story of this scale, so please be nice. Feedback is highly appreciated and is the best way to support my work.
