A million years ago, the Western Continent was forever changed by the establishment of Yi City, the largest nation in recorded history. Split into many districts, it was the greatest accomplishment of its creator, but its glory did not last long.... more>>

Now, it is separated, and even those connected to the ruling families may be reduced to servants. Yi Wei is one such servant, but even when she isn't being ordered around by the likes of her aunt, she struggles to make any progress in her cultivation. Her own talent seems subpar, and the strange, inert characters floating around within her dantian don't help in the slightest.

However, her life will be changed by a simple accident that will set her onto the path of growth and discovery. The Planar Continents hold many mysteries, and the path she has chosen gives her no choice but to investigate them, for that is the Path of the Ascendant.

(Sexual content will not appear prior to Volume 2. Futanari will not appear prior to Volume 3. The main content of the story is already complete and chapters will be released daily, with exception of bonus chapters, which will come out alongside main chapters. Bonus chapters are being written right now, and once they're done, I will move on to a new novel which will feature more sexual content and futanari, in case that's what you're interested in.)

Updates: Wednesday, Saturday - at least I'm trying
I am currently releasing this story on scribblehub.com and royalroad.com.

Transported to another world (isekai), somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but not too much. There are litRPG elements there, but numbers are not what this story is about. You could say it's with a touch of Slice of Life. Yet, you can expect fights, monsters, beasts, and enemies from the ranks of humans, but not OP MC - she will have to get there.
The story I wrote after I found the courage to do so. I don't want to discourage you, but I say in advance that English is my second language, and that can be reflected in grammar. I'm doing my best, so please be lenient. :) <<less

In a vast multiverse where Luminai and mortals coexist, Aeon, a being who becomes a luminal of extraordinary capabilities, embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. Along the way, they encounter beings of immense power and knowledge, forge deep connections with fellow Luminai like Elysia, Zephyr, and Lighthouse, and unravel the secrets of the cosmos.... more>>

Aeon's path is filled with awe-inspiring adventures, from confronting the malevolent Tenebris and protecting their luminal kin to venturing into the realms of dreams and quantum immortality. They explore the boundaries of existence, create utopias, and become an influential teacher, sharing their profound wisdom with all who seek enlightenment.

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Aeon's quest takes them to distant planets, mystical realms, and ancient libraries. They transcend the limitations of their own existence, gaining mastery over cosmic forces and becoming a guiding light for Luminai and mortals alike.

Throughout their journey, Aeon's character evolves, as they learn the art of sleep from Snoozelord, indulge in the joys of life, and embrace their role as a cosmic sage. Their teachings ripple across the cosmos, inspiring countless beings to seek truth, challenge boundaries, and unlock their hidden potential.

As the story progresses, Aeon's influence spreads, and they become a revered figure, shaping the destiny of civilizations and catalyzing revolutions of thought. Yet, despite their vast knowledge, Aeon remains humble, acknowledging the vast mysteries of the universe that lie beyond mortal comprehension.

With each step forward, Aeon's connection to the universe deepens, as they continue to explore the unknown, push the boundaries of understanding, and unravel the secrets of existence. Their story, intertwined with the fabric of reality, becomes a timeless tale of exploration, growth, and the boundless nature of curiosity.

In a small city in southern England, there exists a library. Folklore has it that it's been there since before the romans conquered the region.... more>> Of course, such an antique collection of books draws in bookworms, like Kathrine who just started her first semester at the local university. Exploring the library, she finds a few discrepancies between the books and her understanding of history. The truth will call into question what she knows about the world and bring her into contact with powers, and friends, beyond her imagination. <<less

For generations, Christian’s family have had a natural ability to see beings that are usually invisible to humans and to do magic. They aren’t, however, the only witches in the world or even in the area. When his Scottish-born mother wants to return to her family, and her husband and his widower father decide to go with her, Christian inherits the responsibility for their house and its hidden library.... more>>

Not alone, however. His family leave him with a roommate, Mark, an apparently normal human around his own age. But appearances are especially deceptive in this case.

Christian builds a reputation, first around the New Age bookshop where he works, then beyond that, as someone to turn to when things go bump in the night. Whether it's lingering negative energy, a lost ghost, or a dangerous infestation, he'll solve it. Sometimes, that's with the help of a powerful, sensual, and often bloodthirsty lamia who is still perplexed about how she has come to genuinely care about a human.

Throw in a group of witches called the Fellowship, who are firmly convinced that all witches should come under their authority and above all else stay below the radar; a subgroup within the Fellowship who feel that the ends for the greater good justify any means; a few supernatural threats; a friend from another independent witch family, who has a very close past history with a kitsune who says less than she does; Christian’s Dungeons and Dragons gamer group; a young black cat in dire need of a home; a colony of feral cats inherited from his great-aunt; and a couple of non-witch friends, and life gets complicated in a hurry.

Two characters in this are significantly transgender, in different ways, and orientation is mostly not a consideration. Oh, and it's set in 1998, which was when the very first, very rough draft was written.

** Trigger warnings **
This one does have more explicit sex and violence than my usual, and that's primarily all about the titular lamia herself. It's going to be difficult to be comprehensive without spoilers, but feel free to ask if you have questions, I completely understand. Broad strokes: lamias are a form of energy vampire/succubus (sort of) and actively hunt men to feed, usually without killing but also without consent - if you're okay with the typical vampire/succubus morality this should be okay. (Consent is different with humans she knows!) Lamias tend to have a very direct and physical approach to removing obstacles and annoyances; most of the violence is towards aggressive supernatural creatures (one scene came out particularly gory), but not all of it. One minor character who appears briefly late in the story endured some abuse that ends at that point. There's no harm done to children or animals with the single exception of a cat hunting a mouse. Please be careful with this one if you're prone to triggers!

In the depths of Chroch Gom Prison, held down by chains and immobile by a turtle shell, a broken warrior had been imprisoned for two decades.... more>>

He opened his eyes as deep yellow pierced through the dark. Once filled with hatred and rage, his eyes now held the wisdom and depth of two souls, two lives.

One was Tai Lung, the son of Master Shifu, born in ancient China where Kung Fu ruled supreme. The other was also Tai Lung, the son of man, born in a modern world where his current world was nothing but fiction.

Two lives. Two souls.

Now one entity.

He was armed with knowledge he should not possess and the wisdom of two lifetimes.

So when he breaks out from the chain of his imprisonment, he not only breaks the physical chains but also the chains of Fate and Destiny.

Destined to be a villain, a stepping stone for the Dragon Warrior, he became something more.

He should not have happened, he was an anomaly, a variable beyond the calculation of the universe.

His existence had changed everything in the universe.

He smiled, knowing that the old turtle was not so wise, because he was wrong.

.

There are accidents.

======
Very queer/poly, very fluffy, very not cisgender story about falling in love and talking about feelings. Heavily influenced by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Her Xenogenisis series mostly, where aliens came to earth to make human hybrid babies because they wanted cancer, only without all the weird consent issues she loves.

This will be mostly me working my way through interesting ideas without much of anything in the way of story arcs or core conflicts other than what feels interesting within the fiction at the time. When doing tabletop RPG stuff I'm a very 'fly by the seat of your pants' GM so this is that blasted into writing.

Content warnings:
*death of a parent
*cancer
*mention of transphobic parents
*mention of "chasers" and trans fetishizing
*panic attacks
*autistic meltdown and sensory issues/overload
*discussion and practice of self governed mind alteration
*alcohol consumption
*Discussions of STDs and safe sex practices
I'll add more here as I see them or am notified I missed something. Any chapter bigger stuff comes up will also have notes at the beginning.

*I use "gender bender" loosely, less as in genre tropes of forced or accidental transformation. More in that there will be gender fuckery, but it will be done under conscious control of the character for their own ends (mostly comfort in fluid identity or messing with cis people).
*"Genderless Protagonist" should be nonbinary, but that's not an option😜

This is my first real attempt at creative writing so it’s rough but it feels nice to put out there. Please feel free to toss constructive criticism my way as you think of things.
