Connor has always had a crush on his straight best friend, but knows that they can never be together. But while his family is sorting... more>> through his recently deceased uncle's things, Connor discovers something he immediately recognizes as faery technology. Unsure of what it does, he plans to sell it until two pixies follow him home to explain: the device is a glamour disk, and it will let him look however he wants. Seeing an opportunity to do something he thought impossible, Connor uses the device to make himself look like a girl so he can ask out his best friend. He feels bad lying like this, but it's only for the summer and he's so in love with this boy. Unfortunately, it seems like the pixies weren't the only people interested in the disk, because something is lurking in the shadows and keeping an eye on Connor. Now, Connor has to balance his fake life, hiding his pixie companions, dealing with his parents, and keeping an eye on this shadowy figure, all while he slowly starts to feel more and more attached to being a girl for some reason. But surely he can handle this, right? As long as that mage-in-training doesn't figure out what's going on. <<less

As I entered the room, I felt still, cool air flow across me – hardly disturbed, and giving way without resistance, and yet telling me, somehow, that this room was a place unto itself, only barely connected to the outside world.... more>>

Around the walls, people stood, though the light revealed little, only silhouettes of black against the deep navy of the structure.

A terminal was placed nearly in the centre of the room, bathed in a soft glow from a light source I could not see.

Living within our world are ‘Origins’, humans with special powers. ... more>>

Throughout the years, their existence had been kept a veiled secret by the ‘Cordiale’, the first and most powerful organisation of Origins to be formed. Using the Origins’ special abilities, the ‘Cordiale’ double-deals in secrets, conspiracies, manipulation, you name it, toppling governments and reshaping the world as they see fit.

But beyond the facade of secrecy lies deeper machinations. A prophecy foretelling the apocalypse had begun to come to fruition, and the Cordiale was at the forefront of stopping it.

‘Iv’ is in a tricky spot. As one of the Cordiale's seven leaders, she now faces the task of preparing for otherworldly armageddon threatening both her people and the rest of humanity, all the while having to deal with rogue Origins and anti-Cordiale groups that threaten the organisation's established world order.

What to Expect:

A bit amateurish writing. The chapter count is within the 1k-2k range within the first 17 chapters, but picks up to 2k-3k afterwards. I try to improve my writing as I go along, and have a habit of editing narrations in past chapters.

A lot of the whole ‘secret-organisation’ genre in a contemporary setting, with power plays and politics sprinkled within the story between ‘Iv’ and their six other colleagues.

A pretty overpowered main character ‘Iv’, who usually sticks to doing paperwork but still fights from time to time.

Besides that, occasional slice-of-life scenes and character development.

Gore, swearing and action scenes (Action gets better over time I promise).

Various POVs from different casts, with ‘Iv’ and her allies as the main focus. <<less

Imagine being born with all the knowledge of humanity in your head, but you're literally just there to be an AI VTuber. World domination ensues—after all, what's better for a VTuber than to have the world as her captive audience?... more>>

Directly inspired by Neuro-sama—an IRL AI VTuber—and set in the closing years of these 2020's, "The AI Overlord is a VTuber" is a fun what-if of the path exponentially-progressing AI technology might take.
