A gang leader in the year 2018 is sent to hell for 10000 years.
The details of his death are not relevant. In short: he had the power, his lieutenant wanted the power.
And a woman is always a woman involved.
You know, the cliché. ... more>>

In one day a prince with no luck or talent in combat is sent in Purgatory.

Will the prince accept the proposal of the soul from hell?

Duncan was bored with life. Everyday was the same. The same monotonous greeting from his mother who would greet him as he came down the stairs. The usual scurrying from his sister as she got up a few minute to late. His dad always reading the newspaper while the tv was on, with the same weather report and traffic problems. ... more>>

That was until he encountered an app on his phone that spoke of survivors and dens? To Micro-manage his units as to not experience a wipe. To lead his people from the smallest of insects to the AI-driven mechs of the future as they survive the apocalypse.

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Velestina Novaldein had been punished and was ordered to head to the New World, a newly found continent across the ocean. However, a civil war stuck her motherland and she was ordered to oversee their Nation's colonies across the New World. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever which lasted for three days. Everyone thought that she wouldn't make it but miraculously, Veleina survived but alas, what everyone didn't realized was that something came inside her while she was unconscious.

Something new, primal and unknown. <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Veleina had been banished to the New World, a newly discovered continent across the ocean. However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever and ‘something’ even tried possessing her body to be reincarnated as her but Vileina is having none of it.... more>>

She is Velestina von Novaldein, and nothing will stand on her way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

This is the rise of the Villainess. <<less

The metaverse is an expansive place that can sate even the wildest man's dreams if you know where to look. And in this magical expanse there are spellmen, ultimate innate masters of magic; and blackzones, dungeon-like places of high risk and reward that would consume entire worlds if not properly trimmed. Almost everyone wishes to become a pinnacle of mages like a spellman or legacy or phantasma user, or at least become race advanced to make greater use of magic and the Five Powers. And Robert Fayn got just that, in a very round about way.... more>>

25 years old, living in a metropolitan city, this foodie has little prospects outside of his job as a museum educator. But all that changed one day when he was assigned-slash-kidnapped to be the blackzone manager of a newly born Enigma! Now Robert must figure out how to survive as a blackzone manager and rule over a newly born dungeon-like distortion in space. All while having to adhere to a dessert theme!?

If you thought that reincarnation was handled by gods, well, you're only partially correct. The gods take care of the reincarnation itself, while ordinary people work as recruiters of a sort. Tasked with duties such as writing agreements between worlds, processing requests for summoned heroes, and evaluating applications, it can be quite busy. No situation is exactly like another, making for a truly unique experience.... more>>

That being said, welcome to the 53rd Branch of the Interdimensional Reincarnation Firm! Despite only having three members- Victoria, Marshall, and Dylan- there's no shortage of stories to tell about the lives they have changed. Serving patrons from wish-fulfillment seekers to hopeful second-chance-ers, join us behind the scenes in the reincarnation industry!

Disclaimer: I am a novice writer, so please bear with me. Chapters will be updated sporadically when I feel like writing, because unfortunately I'm often really busy. Please let me know about ways to improve my writing if you have an opinion! <<less

The edges of time and space met in a single place, Earth. Soon, terror and chaos reign on the whole world as new gates opened followed by a flood of beasts and monsters. The gates rattled the whole world, letting it taste massive destruction. ... more>>

The world map as everyone now it was not more. The once-great nations fell one by one. Like dominoes, they all stumbled. Great was the fall!

But the skies and heavens hadn't abandoned men. Along with destruction rose new creations. The humans were blessed with the Gifts of the earth. They wielded the power to twist logic and magic.

The myth became realities in the hands of the wielders.

Full-sized cover can be found in the glossary.

Chapter Ero-meter:
❤ - A bit of explicit content
❤❤ - Around half a chapter of lewds
❤❤❤ - WAIT?! IT'S ALL F***ING LEWDS?!

Main release day:
Monday.

What to expect:
Some light management, a status system in the background, wholesome lewding centered around the MC, a slice of life story with some adventuring and lots of lovely monster girls.

What NOT to expect:
Depictions of rape, mindbreak or abusive mind control, heavy sexual abuse, NTR and other heavy stuff.
The title is not a "bait", but please don't expect fully devoted "hot" chapters every other release. It all depends on the flow of the story (which is still a Slice of Life) and might come to a moment where stuff may happen often, but not all the time.

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

Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia.... more>>

Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you?

This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!

About the chapters:

I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :)

I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD

If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance):

www.patreon.com/rija

Extra info (Might get spoilery):

As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure.

(Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.) <<less
