“I’m alive...again?”

Adam died and was brought into a fantasy world. Then he died again, and has been reborn into a new (?) fantasy world. His life, as before, is in the hands of the dice. Come and join Adam as he rolls his way in and out of trouble. 

The story has a very slow pace, and has elements of really light hearted, wholesome stuff, and really dark, gruesome stuff. 

Sequel/Reboot of Beyond Average. You don't need to read Beyond Average, but it will explain a lot about Adam. <<less

"All right, boys and girls, quit sucking your ma's teats. It's high time we bloody earn our paychecks!"... more>>

Born in times of turmoil, orphaned at a young age, and raised amongst rowdy sellswords, young Reinhardt Edelstein joined the mercenary trade as well when he grew up.

When misfortune finally caught up with them, and the mercenary company he had been part of fell into an ambush and was decimated, he survived by chance, along with a few others.

Then he found the baton of responsibility passed on to his hand, as the adopted nephew of the late captain.

Stuck behind enemy lines, with only the tattered remnants of the once proud company around him, he strived to do his best, to rebuild the company to its former glory... Should they survive the current conflict.

Would he succeed in etching his name in the annals of history? Or would he end up as a mere footnote instead?

Only time will tell…

Chapters will range from 1-2k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

The pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all Dream ever wanted. As he grew up though, his naivety vanished and he found that the world was nothing more than a prison that would allow neither of those things. However, after giving himself up to the endless abyss expecting to disappear, he found himself awoken in a new world! ... more>>

Magic, skills, science, technology, and the secrets of the universe within his reach.

Dream found everything he ever needed and wanted, and he would go on to unintentionally dominate the lands with his unprecedented ability to fuse the world of the arcane with the world of science.

This is my first work. Take that for what its worth.

With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. ... more>>

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her last love. The more she pursued, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. ... more>>

Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury.

______________________________________________________________Volume II______________________________________________

Things should have been easy for Rylonvirah. The exiled drow matriarch has finally reunited with the love of her life, Lyria. But from the north descends a new threat, the Cambion Warlord, in his bid for ascension, to claim the title of the demon lord, rallies his horde.

Will Rylonvirah and Lyria reforge the broken bonds between them? Will the Warlord drown the world in a sea of fire? While enemies both old and new beset Rylonvirah, her greatest obstacle is Lyria herself— and the pregnant secret that she harbours.

===== Series Info=======
The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible.

The yuri/GL Is an **extremely slow** burn one.

Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats.  Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality.  Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways.... more>>

But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests.  A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible.  Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level.  Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves.

This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand.  This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence.  This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia.  But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever...

They live, eat, sleep, and die with their swords.

Swordsmaster Nova was one such being, fated to die on the battlefield with his sword. However, one faithful encounter with the Hero's party changed his life forever.

He learned friendship,
Camaraderie,
And he learned how to love.

Yet, fate is cruel. In the final battle against the Demon king, he sacrificed himself so that his friends can escape.

Five years after his death, he is reborn as a baby; the grandson (and later, granddaughter) of an Otherworlder; a child of a prestigious Swordsmen family—with all his previous life's memories intact.

Will he spend his new chance at life like before, rolling around desperately on the battlefield?
Will he leave his past life behind and make new connections?
Will he try to contact his retired comrades?
Or will he do all of those above?

Ignoring that the demon king's retinue are still at large, and the neighbouring kingdoms are restless because of what had transpired, the world is stirring, the winds of change are blowing, the world on the brink of another evolution, the consequences of which will be more far reaching than anyone realizes.

Destiny however has plans of it's own. Chris, a young man discovering the truth about himself, and Rachael, a young woman hiding who she is, are both about to find themselves intertwined in the fate of the world.

When secrets come to the surface, the results can be far beyond what either party considered. Especially when they hail from an earlier age...

This story is the sequel to Dawn Weaver, and takes place some years after the first.

However, it can be read independently of the first book (while knowledge of the first book may make some things clearer, it is not needed at all to understand most of what is going on and enjoy the story for what it is). The two main characters are new characters, as is the majority of the cast.

Note that this story is much heavier on the transgender themes than Dawn Weaver, it and comes into it from very early in the story. The gender bender element itself don't come into play until much later however.

It is also not an Isekai story, at least not from a technical viewpoint.

I can’t guarantee a stable release schedule.

General Summary

High School student Leila has always been a fan of fantasy novels. From romance to dark fantasy to humorous parodies, she's read them all. But being such a hungry reader has turned her into a critical one who is not afraid to dock a five-star novel to a three. One such novel to feel her wrath is a high-ranking, best-selling grimdark series whose ending made her want to puke. Angry about the characterization of the female lead turned villain of the week, she gives a scathing review and berates the author publicly. Going to bed right after, the teenager expected to wake up with a response and maybe some upvotes. 

Instead, she finds herself being cursed to live in the story she dunked on as the character she watched gets written into an utter dumpster fire. Cleo is described as a seductive and skilled assassin prodigy whom the main character fell for at first sight. The definition of the best girl and Mary Sue. But by the end of the series, she's number 100000 of a nameless harem of badass but sub-servant women, one of which's taken her place as the MC's fiance. Leila awakens right where she stopped reading and the worst scenario possible: her execution.

Leila must not only survive till the original series' main character, the crown prince, is five feet under, but she also has to take down every obstacle in her way. Because the plot isn't going the way it was planned, enemies are around every corner and if she loses, she never returns home. <<less

[A/N:
-Sybil is very masculine looking and will occasionally be misidentified as a guy and there are going to be parts when she pretends to be a guy for fun and profit.
- Throughout the story there will be vomit-adjacent actions (i.e. cubes)
- Warning: Bugs
- The orcs, elves and dwarves aren't Tolkien types and I've done weird things to them
-While gay stuff is definitely in the future, Sybil is currently a child and is uninterested in Romance, she'll get into it when she's older and I'll be sure to announce it with bells
- I have a brain that actively works against me so it'll take a while before most of the tags become relevant in the story] <<less
