Nothing could be worse than being trapped in an urban office hellscape...... more>>

Well, except being trapped in a 'system' governed, jungle hellscape instead.

See... Calvin lived an incredibly average life. He worked at a lifestyle app company as their Senior project manager, and while the pay was nice and it had great benefits, it was a mind-numbing adventure in mediocrity. On the plus side, he got to work with his amazing best friend Amy, and went home every night to his adorable pup Freya.

Well... he did, until a 'system seed' spawned in local space and ripped him, Amy, and Freya, from their regular lives and thrust them straight into the 'System Tutorial'.

In a reality shaped by nanites, where magic is real, power is measured in levels, and slaying monsters before breakfast is just a fact of life, Calvin has one simple goal...

He and his group must learn the rules of this new system to survive the tutorial and gain power at all costs because whatever nightmare awaits them on the other side might be much, much worse than they could imagine. <<less

"Know thy self, know thy enemy"
- Sun Tzu... more>>

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.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

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.

The primary ability of a transmigrator is the ability to reincarnate. Each life, each world brings a plethora of new abilities and possibilities which can be assimilated and taken into the next world. A clever transmigrator can build up their abilities in just a few lives, eventually reaching a point where they can masquerade as gods in weaker worlds, become archmages in stronger worlds, and become legends in their own right.... more>>

When Isabelle and her friends are dumped into the world of transmigrators, at first it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them the ability to visit the myriad worlds of the multiverse, grow stronger, and live practically forever, as long as they don’t make a mistake and permanently die. Every world has its own unique aspects, different magic systems to learn and use, and a myriad of interesting things to explore and discover. Each lifetime is unique, and no two worlds are the same.

However, between each life Isabelle and her friends must return to the Market. The place between lives, where transmigrators used to trade Items and Abilities and grow their power. Now, it is ruined. A desiccated shell of the most powerful civilization to exist in the multiverse, with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow fast enough to avoid permanent death.

Note: this chapter is only posted on Royalroad, Scribblehub, and Patreon. If it is anywhere else, it has been posted there without my permission.

What to expect: This is a somewhat slower-paced serial-transmigration story, centered around the adventures of the main character and her friends through various worlds in the multiverse. I want each world to feel like a complete story, so expect the story to take a little longer in each world than some other stories in the serial transmigration genre.

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory, climbing out of an egg. She has human knowledge that doesn’t seem to match her body. Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse.

Author is a great fan of WMW; however, the story has a totally different setting, magic system, and characters. This one is definitely not as grimdark as that. Other than that, this story is also based on a lot of other novels with similar setting of summoning players.

The Queen of the Varra was not a denizen of Imera. Her people were already dead, and she was the last of her kind. When she used the last of her energy to find a suitable vessel, she found Dara dying at the hands of her father. This was the perfect opportunity.

'Daughter. I have come for you.' Like a demon's voice, she spoke to Dara. 'Eat the seed, and gain great strength.' Without a second thought, Dara swallowed the seed that appeared in her hand.

For the queen, it was salvation for her people. For Dara, that voice was the gentlest tone that has ever been aimed at her. Once that seed entered her belly, she became that voice's true daughter.

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.

With her modern knowledge and skills, she prevents the tragic fate of the Duke and his lands, takes care of the Duke's children, as well as bringing never-before-seen prosperity to the commoners and at the same time helping to get rid of the greedy nobles who tormented them. . . .

However, he perhaps overdid it, as it all backfired on him in some strange way.

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.

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.

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.
