An ancient, dreadfully powerful dungeon core that had once been sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter, though in a much reduced state. ... more>>

A temple monk on her way home for a vacation is distracted into exploring a newly born dungeon due to the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, leading to an entirely unexpected chain of events.

A kitsune whose death caused a goddess to pity her fate and revive her as a reincarnated dungeon.

Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient dungeon.

Expect a mix of dungeon building, romance, and adventure, with a touch of 'slice of life' 

The primary romantic relationship is poly and mutual.

Mild content warning:  Occasional swearing, "fade to black", Public Displays of Affection, typical fantasy violence (no unnecessary gore), rare instances of "disturbing content", and never in detail.

Copying from Royal Road. After I am caught up, the release schedule will be every Sunday & Thursday

“ Min ge I have no problem with brown skin but it’s a problem if you 4 four different shades and your face is having a crisis is it brown or red, please wear a hat before you collapse.” Wu Nan spoke with concern.

This story is an original work. It’s fantasy and none of the characters or events are real. The setting is 1970 China where resources are scarce.( Countries have citizens since the dawn of mankind with different skin tones but their racial traits are the same). It includes gers (males that can become pregnant) females and males but the setting is still the same. <<less

Neir Featherburn Agustus is a typical office worker who works a standard 9-to-5 job at a large call center.... more>>

His life wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either; he was a decent middle-class single man. He did, however, have one feature that set him apart from the norm: his Agustus family curse Bloodline. The Agustus family was known to be cursed by the Goddess of Love, Ishtar, for a crime his ancestor had committed.

"You were given love, but you betrayed it, and now that I've decided to take it back, you curse at me in such a way sixth Agustus... heheh... fine... you want love, I'll give it to you." No, in fact, I will shower you and your entire family with so much love that it will be the very thing that kills you."

As a result, Ishtar cursed the Agustus family with the curse of obsession. The curse is simple: any male of the Agustus bloodline will be loved to death by his lovers. In summary, Neir is a Yandere magnet; as a result, Nier does his hardest to keep his distance from the other sex out of fear for his life. He didn't want to end up like his older brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and cousins, all of whom had died within the previous two years, making him the last true Agustus.

As if it wasn't horrible enough, the world and his everyday life were now in danger. And it all began on that fateful day when the world's voice appeared.

[Attention all Gaian subjects: the day of judgment is here.

Aria is deep in the closet that she could feel the icy winds of Narnia. She prefers that to the alternative of coming out. ... more>>

For her, visiting comicons, watching favourite girl ships was an outlet.
Getting into a LARP marriage with a beautiful girl was an indulgence.
Driving the girl home was impulsive.
Now, Aria's carefully crafted world is upside-down.

Her new girl has allure, and, devotion to coax her guarded heart to come out.

Forging a romantic bond with the girl should be easy, right? Except for the scorn from homophobes, and disapproval from her own family and finally, Aria's own mind.

How far could she trust a girl who claims to be an ACTUAL alien and that their LARP marriage to be real?

Threats both local and extra-terrestrial, keep piling up, but a year and a day, and Aria's life should be back to normal. Her new girl should be gone.

Except, Astra intends for more from the adorable human girl. She could never leave the side of her new wife. And she would do anything it takes to make her fall in love with her.

============================

Author Notes:

The story is set in contemporary, present-day world with slight elements of sci-fi, futuristic technology, even those are confined to space opera genre.

This story contains, elements of coming out, homophobia, transphobia, subtle misogyny, every day microagressions and the acceptance of self.

The MC is a dumbass and her struggles are, at times, adorable and at time cringeworthy with an equally baffled and hot roomate/wife. Her fears range from extemely valid to superficial ones. This is the story of an MC who knows what she is but lacks the courage to accept.

There is a transcharacter but the revelation and implication comes late in the story. Hence I have not added a trans-tag, so as to not mislead readers. <<less

How long would you attempt to survive in a never ending cycle of death, looping you to the start of your life every nineteenth birthday? To Evangeline, it only took seventeen attempts before quitting, enjoying her benefits of restarting rather than stressing, as there were never any consequences.... more>>

In her first life, she died on her nineteenth birthday, and she begged to not die like that. After being reborn, she thanked the gods for her gift and redid her life differently, only to die at nineteen on her birthday again. In her third, fourth, fifth all the way to seventeenth lives, she made numerous attempts only to die on her nineteenth birthday.

After all of that time, she realized what a joke it were to try and break the cycle, rather than enjoy the fact she could get away with anything and everything, resetting her life, and doing whatever she wanted on whims. That was until in her twenty fifth life, something went awry. with the worst timing possible of having a one night stand with an unknown man and smiling as she fell from the window, the cycle broke. instead of dying, she found herself saved by the mysterious stranger, dealing with the consequences of her actions for the very first time, biting off way more than she could of ever chewed. <<less

This is what happens to Amy, 27-year-old depressed office worker whose only joy in life comes from reading crappy shojo isekai web comics. In typical isekai fashion, she wakes up as Lyra Venvaris, only princess to the Lycium kingdom and the villainess of a story called 'A Romance of Thorns'. But not just any web comic, the worst web comic Amy has ever read. Terrible plot, underdeveloped characters and a male lead that is a grad 'A' dickwad rather than an actual hero.

What's a girl to do? It's an isekai, obviously change everything.

Convincing herself it's purely out of the goodness of her heart, the ever-practical Decca proposes a marriage-of-convenience. He needs a wife; and she could definitely use someone to talk to (other than the 250-year-old skeleton she's piecing together on her dining room table.)

But, she didn't really think he'd say yes!
