The map is on your skin and the hunt is on.
Kaleb wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters with a new tattoo that he doesn't remember getting. A sadistic and wise cracking system tells him that he's one of 10,000 people who have been transported to Celestia. The catch? They each have a piece of a map on their skin and some very powerful people are vying to collect those pieces.
He'll face monsters and cultists alike as he has to fight for his right to not be skinned alive in a world full of people who desperately want to do just that. The only way to ensure his safety, is... more>> to gain power.

Welcome players, to Celestia!
You are the newest residents of this little slice of heaven, lucky you.
This is a world filled with peoples of all races, monsters, magic and even the odd dragon or two.
How great does that sound? It’s literally every nerd’s dream come true right?
So, what’s the catch?
You’re being hunted!
That’s right folks, all 10,000 of you have been gifted a brand-new tattoo, completely free of charge. Each tattoo is a wholly unique and different part of a map. The Celestial Map to be precise, not that I expect you to know what that means.
Our prestigious hunters are oh so very eager to put that map back together again, piece by agonising piece.
They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake. They want to skin you all alive so run or you’ll get flayed!
The map is on your skin and starting now, the hunt is on.
Good look out there, players. We hope you enjoy your stay in the idyllic and welcoming world of Celestia.>

Furukawa Sairyoku died after being hit by a truck. Fortunately, he got a second chance in life as he was transmigrated in modern Japan.... more>>

However, he transmigrated right directly in the middle of the road at night, where a truck was speeding right at him!

When he was about to curse his bad luck of being about to be isekai’d twice by Truck-kun, a beautiful girl with sakura pink hair blocked the impact for him and saved him from the truck accident!

She was none other than Tsukuyomi Tsukasa, the Waifu from Tonikawa: Over The Moon For You!

Infatuated by Tsukasa, Furukawa Sairyoku confessed his love for her despite his injuries.

In response, Tsukasa replied, “I’ll only go out with you if you marry me.”

***

After that incident, it has been two years since Furukawa Sairyoku last met her.

At that time, he awakened the Dimension Sign-In System where he could sign-in every month and obtain items and abilities from other dimensions.

However, on a fateful night, he not only met Tsukasa again, but also heard a notification sound in his mind!

Jason knew how he was going to die next. He's been Yagura for a month now and there's a Tailed-Beast living inside him, he knew how he was going to die next.
Nobody wants to die, not even those that have done it before. Navigating the world as Yagura Karatachi, Elite Jounin of Kirigakure and Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Beast would be dangerous enough on its own but as a Kage-candidate for Fourth Mizukage, he's far too attractive for the likes of Obito and Madara to ignore.
The true Yagura is destined for a near decade under Obito's genjutsu and his village the piggybank of the Akatsuki's plans. He can't let that happen and... more>> not just because he's caught up in it now.
***

Allo, just wanna say this fanfic is my second go at envisioning a character in the position of supreme power; Kage. As Kages don't regularly do missions and violence often comes to them instead, there will be fewer fight scenes until Yagura/Jason begin to face the big threat to the Shinobi world. As such I'll mostly be exploring what *right* decisions Kirigakure could have taken and the challenges to those decisions post 3rd shinobi war, as well as trying to pre-empt Obito's Akatsuki with the current Kages; Onoki, Ay, Rasa, and Hiruzen/Minato.
As an aspect of the fic, it will be very Yagura/Kiri-centric with other villages and characters having interlude chapters in between. I am taking this route because, well, it's interesting and I want to discover more of what Kirigakure and its Legendary Swordsmen could have been.
Anyway, hope you enjoy. <<less

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

Hello and welcome to a (mostly) fluffy little slice-of-life story with some other bits and bobs in the mix.

DISCLAIMER:
Fair warning that the MC is not exactly right in the head, nor do I claim her to be. She will do certain acts or think certain ways that may not sit well with you or even trigger something or other; viewer discretion advised. I ask of you to keep an open mind, and if that doesn't work out, leave this page immediately and never look back.

In short, have an open mind, don't be an asshole, and have fun.
Also, please be gentle with me as this is my first story and I sometimes have difficulty taking criticism well.

EXTRA DISCLAIMER FROM THE FUTURE~
Some of you may feel some apprehension toward the series when reading the early chapters (1-10) or so due to the nature of some things (cursing and whatnot). There are two reasons for that: a realistic one and a 'copium' one. The realistic one is that my narrative writing skills were just bad at that time, and it was before, how you say, I found my (writing) voice. The 'copium' one is that it shows the slow change in environment that our little one faces, going from a tough and cold situation to an incredibly warm one, hence the change from a colder tone to a warmer, more goofy one. Whichever one you choose to believe is up to you. All I can say is to keep on reading as it gets much better after those chapters and that the focus of this story is the whacky and unpredictable adventures of a child who was reincarnated into another world as a child but with a longer childhood by human scales.

Also, should I find myself the motivation to do so, I may do what every new author does and rewrite those chapters to be more consistent.

UPDATE (March 2024):
Due to the fact that I am in the midst of finishing a Mechanical Engineering degree, chapter releases will be significantly delayed. Please remain patient and grab a cookie from the cookie jar while you wait. <<less

A story of the Becoming Monsters universe by Ai Love! Five years after the Change overtook the world, transforming many into fantastic Races and granting Classes, life moves on. As Honoka Jefferson faces her trials in Boston, this camera is focused a country away.... more>>

Jeremiah Kithkin is an Incubus, with a bit of a problem. His wife, Lucy, is a Succubus. He can feed from her, but she cannot feed from him. Their desire for monogamy would kill both due to the Hungers imposed on them by the Change. They are also a Surface Hunters, two of the few remaining folks in Seattle who hunt down monsters that escape from the local Dungeon. Thing is, that work has dried up as the city got wise to how things work. He struggles to make ends meet.

As attacks rise and life takes a turn for the frantic, Jeremiah finds himself facing down curses, former Guildmates, Demons, and the local underworld as he seeks to preserve both his marriage and the lives of those in the city he swore to defend. This is, of course, complicated by the Demonic women who keep crossing his path.

Lucas Grey was an orphaned child, raised by his army veteran grandfather after his parents and older brother were taken from him by a drunk-driver while he was too young to even be able to spell his own name. His roughneck grandfather made it his mission to teach Lucas whatever he could; survival skills, self-defensive combat, basic automotive maintenance, and, most importantly, how to be a good man. Lucas has two goals in life, make his grandfather proud and have a happy family with lots of children. Then the unthinkable suddenly crashed into reality. The first bombs fell while he was driving home from university, erasing the mountains on the horizon and sending a wave... more>> of fiery annihilation racing his direction. A searing white flash is the last experience of Lucas' short life. Then the pain begins. A post-apocalyptic survival harem 300 years after the collapse of civilization.

NOTE: There will be smut as the story progresses, but all adult content depicted will be consensual and absolutely no NTR. Relationships will primarily be romantic and long-term. MC will be an adult mentally, but his teenage hormones will affect his better judgement sometimes.

Everyone has a story to tell, made from the moments in the lives we share.

Reed and Lumina share their lives together, but each of them came from different backgrounds; each of them went through their own unique experiences.
