Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

It was dreamt that a world under the protection of the Blossoms - magical girls blessed by light and tasked with great purpose - would be a world that knows only peace, where sorrow was no more than a distant memory. They truly believed that, thousands of years ago. But as long as there is darkness, there shall be Blossoms to face it; or could it be that as long as there are Blossoms, darkness will rise again and again?... more>>

Such questions do not yet trouble the innocent minds of the initiates of the year of 1878, concerned instead with completing their training to join the ranks of the Blossoms safeguarding the world. These girls, weaned on stories of magic and wonder, long to walk the hallowed paths of their predecessors. Calamity, however, cares little for the petty plans and hopes of humanity.

In the wake of tragedy, they are left with no alternative but to bloom from mere buds to Blossoms forced to bear the weight of the world on their backs. With their training so abruptly interrupted and left to fend for themselves, untested as they are, they shall have no choice but to find their own way in a changed world, with no one to take their hand and teach them how to be heroines that will be so desperately needed.

If such a thing could ever even be taught in the first place, that is. <<less

 *****

What to expect from my story:

1. Clever (not pushover) humane MC
2. In-depth lore explanation (Story is a bit slow-burn at the start)
3. Strategic Battles (Not 1-hit KO)
4. Funny character interactions
5. Twists. Lots of it.
6. Real-world conspiracies, Mysticism, Spiritual Practices, Esoteric Knowledge
7. For Fellow Pinoys: Peenoise Memes and references

*****

Note: While some settings in this story are based on real locations and events, most concepts and characters are products of the author’s imaginative mind. They should not be treated as absolute truth in any way.

After all, this is just a fictional story. Or is it? <<less

Death and Reincarnation.... more>>

Kuroe Makoto, the tomboyish ace of her high school track and field club, never spared a thought for these things before. However, when she falls asleep in her Tokyo home after an exhausting marathon and wakes up in a fantasy world, those concepts become her reality. And unlike in the common light novel setting, she isn't reincarnated as the naturally good-looking and talented human hero who gathers a harem effortlessly.

In fact, she isn't reincarnated as a human at all. She is reborn as 'Chaos', child of the demon queen and heir to a kingdom at war with humanity.

Maou Shoujo Magical Chaos puts the Japanese high school girl in a tentacle monster, in this strange tale of a sound human mind possessing a horrifying creature's body. Join Chaos on her oftentimes humorous but also perilous journey through a world of sword and sorcery, as she discovers a newfound appetite for life, terror, and demi-human girls.

Alexander King loves the idea of an isekai just as much as the next person. Reading about someone who was plucked out of our world and thrown into a world full of magic and danger and watching them struggle to make sense of the chaos around them as they rise to power.... more>>

But those things are just supposed to stay as stories, they weren't meant to happen to him. Reality was never as forgiving as fiction and he had no doubt that if he ended up in one of these worlds he'd more than likely die some sad pathetic death, nor did he particularly have a desire to leave his family and friends. So naturally, with his luck, he wakes up God-knows-where with a system status in front of his eyes only to almost instantly die too the hostile environment around him.

Alex is definitely going to find his way back... If he can avoid being killed by the godlike beings that happen to just be everywhere on this world first.

I guess I should throw this out there and it's probably important that I should do so to clearly state my intentions with this story. This is not going to be a happy-go-lucky story all the way through. It will start relatively upbeat, but there are going to be dark parts. There's going to be things that are hard to stomach, things that will make you uncomfortable. If that's not something you like, that's fine. Not every story is for everyone, maybe this one won't be for you.

To allay some questions this story is not designed to be a torture porn sort of fic. But that doesn't mean I will shy away from talking about characters being tortured or abused. I also won't skip through those portions of the story in an attempt to get them done more quickly. These things need to run their course in order for the importance of the circumstances to fully be imparted into the story. If you as a reader need to skip over these moments, that's perfectly fine. I do that myself in certain fics/shows when I start feeling uncomfortable. That's just a natural reaction. Anyway, I've gotten a couple of people who haven't been happy with it, and that's fine. I don't begrudge those people for disliking these parts of the story, I'm just putting this out there so that future readers come in knowing what to expect instead of being unfortunately blind-sided by my nearsightedness on the situation. I definitely should've had a warning up way earlier for people about this.

A web novel author is suddenly reincarnated into the world of his oldest novel as an extra he doomed to a miserable end.... more>>

To escape this fate, she decides to use her knowledge of the novel and her skills as a Prophetess on behalf of the Duke of the North, another extra who was only mentioned in a few lines and who died "heroically" against a Dragon to usher in the era of his son, the protagonist.
