Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all?... more>>

This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it?

This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me.

The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape! I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier.

Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler or line break. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time.

Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.

also, I will only be posting once a week. you can find me at my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/Vransolis
I also post a royal road which you can find here https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/36458/world-of-alvarra-rise-of-the-vampire-lord <<less

The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again.... more>>

But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close?

The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace.

Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit?

Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra. <<less

“Everyone wants to help someone; be someone. Sometimes it's possible, sometimes the tides of fate take over. How does it feel⁠— being at the hands of fate for an entire life. I wonder, how would it be? To be free…” ⁠— Leah... more>>

Unbeknownst to him being reincarnated in the middle of an ancient process; a sacred ritual, a ritual that has been disrupted⁠ and broken. Born as a natural enemy of humanity, and now an enemy of its own kind. In a world ran by weird laws and an odd system. How will he get out of this mess?

Upgrade path to dungeon failed?! Like I'd care!

Ehh... I became a girl?! Although, that's the least of my worries…

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.

“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”.

What does it mean to be a “Hero”?
Long, long years of bloodshed and violence while serving in the US Army has quenched the flames of passion and desire to help others in Mark Floyd’s heart, leaving him as an empty shell of the man he used to be; mind haunted by nightmares, body broken by alcohol (and more).
But as long as even one ember remains in a person’s heart, there is still a chance for the passion they held to be rekindled. Mark is about to get that chance, and the choice that he makes may lead him to a new hope, or destruction.

Vincent, a college student from Earth, has been transported to another world full of strange powers and fantastic monsters. Ideally, this would be the start of his journey to become a legendary hero, build an everlasting empire, and gather a personal harem.... more>>

But no one said that this new world would be easy…

After escaping an assassination that accidentally befell him, he was forced to become a Dungeon Master. What will an average programmer student do when he finds out that he can code the dungeon?

Vanquish those savages above with his tech and savviness — along with an army of golems?

“Wait, this world isn’t even medieval?!”

With all the questions piling up in his head, Vincent is set to uncover all these secrets! And… conquer the world, perhaps?

The hard reboot of “The Programmer’s Dungeon.” It has an almost completely different plot, cast, and storyline, so expect tons of improvement from the old one.

This is a softcore LitRPG story; there are stats but no levels. Also, the LitRPG element isn’t the main focus of the story itself and is more of a support.

Falling prey to the machinations of his younger brother, Jonas IV Helen Hadin III was quickly disowned by his father, Duke Hadin, then shipped away into exile in less than a week to a colony of the Motherland. Worse, it was in the Orcish Continent.

A Land of Myths and Legends.... more>>

It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery.

In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time.

Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles.

It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity.

These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another.

Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them.

Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness.

And yet, the Tree keeps its silence.

Until now…

Under the light of the three suns, the scorching sands of The Great Desert test any who are brave and or foolish enough to cross its vast and treacherous expanse.... more>>

With each passing year, it becomes more and more of a necessity as The Great Desert is ever expanding. Omid knew this as he signed onto a caravan crossing. He knew of the dangers and ancient magics that this unrelenting land holds. He knew of ancient kingdoms long lost, buried by the sands. He knew of the strange in-human inhabitants, the true masters of The Great Desert seeking to expand their dominion and drive humanity to the edges of the world.

When he is offered the chance to learn magic from a master, Omid agrees eagerly at the chance to discover such ancient arts, and to even dream of defending against a hostile world and all that would claim to rule it. But nothing in this formidable domain is ever easy, nor simple, nor as it seems.

Be vigilant, act with cunning, and always remember to choose your words wisely.

Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole.

His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire.
Life isn't done with Mark yet, however.

For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled.

When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for.

Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense?
Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World?

[This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency.

The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.

This story is a passion project of mine, thus is being done mostly for fun. I originally came up with the idea of this story when I was in grade school, but gave up on it.

Recently, i have come upon a lot of free time where i have been reading other stories and the idea to write my own finally resurfaced.

I think i have all the main plot points outlined but there is much detail that I'll come up with as i write.

That being said, i don't know how frequently I'll be updating the series so please be patient. I'll only be writing when i feel like it, and I'm a noob.

I hope it is at least interesting enough to spend your time reading. Comments welcome.

Thank You <<less

When Luke, who had always existed as nothing more than a wallpaper character in his own life, is abruptly thrust into the pages of a mediocre novel, he desperately seeks a way to regain the quiet existence he once knew.

Short Interview with Luke

Character A: What's a wallpaper character?

Luke: An unknown character, ranked lower than the side characters. Basically a nobody.

Character B: Isn't that just a background character?

Luke: It's not. There's a subtle difference between the two. At least a background character had a role but I don't.

Character A and B: If that's the case, why you're here then?

Luke: (Silence)
