On a parallel Earth, in 1902, something truly bizarre happened. In the middle of Nowheresville, Kansas, the Spire appeared overnight. The jagged, angular structure was a mile and a half wide at the base, but narrowed as it stretched into the heavens. Glowing with a neon blue light, it beckoned onlookers to approach, to investigate, to enter and try their hand at climbing its many floors. Many people did, and none of them were seen from again.... more>>

It took the federal government only three days to completely cordon off the area, and only three weeks to erect walls that sealed off the Spire from the public, under the guise of protecting them all from the dangers within. In no time at all, however, the military had figured out not only how to survive in the Spire, but how to extract valuable technology from it. The existence of the Spire remained an oddity, and a curiosity for most people, who would never know just how great of an impact the structure was having on the world around them.

Now, in 2002, after one hundred years of exploiting the Spire, the United States has expanded its reach to encompass every nation on Earth. They still bear their names and cultures, but everyone answers to Uncle Sam and his repository of highly-advanced tech. Tech that must be retrieved from the Spire on a regular basis, if his grip on the world powers is to remain ironclad. To that end, children are tested for aptitude with the skills necessary to survive in the Spire, and those with high scores are offered extremely lucrative jobs as Runners, retrieving tech and escaping before the denizens of the Spire catch them.

Erik Abergsen doesn't know any of this, however. He's from our version of Earth, and he's a trained member of SEAL Team 4, stationed in Rota, Spain. When a mission goes sideways, Erik finds himself launched laterally into a world he barely comprehends. Armed with weapons of a bygone era and dice, for some strange reason, he begins his own training at the Pentagon and quickly discovers that there is far more at work here than meets the eye.

Curses, secrets and an intriguing family history. Born into a world that would have been better left hidden from me.

In a not so distant future, humanity entered a new golden age. The artificial intelligence M.A.R.T.A. proved to be humanity's salvation; the AI took control... more>> of many human institutions (except military) and offered controlled solutions to many of the problems that almost decimated humanity years before. In the year 2057, that same AI gave humanity a dire warning; months later, a terrible threat put humanity once more in jeopardy, a new war began, and a new age started—the age of the giant machines, the age of the exo-pilots, the age of the exoskeletons. <<less

College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Her awkwardness and nervous stuttering meant that just talking to people was hard enough, not to mention romance.

Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that.

Faced with five handsome leads to pursue, the future looks bright and filled with possibilities. But as she fumbles through grueling classes, terrible advice, and gaming the system in Heartthrob University, it seems that getting isekai'd might not be the magical cure-all she hoped for. But that's ok. Even if cruel reality threatens her do-over, she can always try again.

And again.

And again. <<less

This story takes place in a fantasy variant of our modern world with ancient Gods, with multiple differing character perspectives and excerpts at the start of each chapter. These excerpts are largely the character's own opinions, they are not correct. Also, unless said otherwise, most characters lie to achieve their own goals. Only believe the character's own perspectives for their own thoughts, but please do understand that everyone is biased in some way or another.

This story features progression of powers and technology, ramping up from swords to rifles into modern style of warfare and then further beyond. It is a slow-burn.

For most of Baron’s life, he's felt the loneliness of the modern age that's haunted him since starting middle school.... more>>

Thankfully, now that he had been in college for the first half of his freshman year, he found real friends that seemingly understand him, unlike the people that surrounded him in the past. This has, unfortunately, started to make it increasingly difficult of a task for him to balance college, a newly found social life, and Spriggan’s altruistic vigilantism in the extradimensional Haven of York.

In the mundane world, the chance to go to a college party fell into his lap through the connection of his new friends. It’s a great chance for them to make lasting memories - before Spriggan stumbled into the conspiracy of a magic black market that dragged them all into something deeper and more sinister than they could have imagined.

The Living Scripture: Flame & Breath
She doesn’t cast spells. She breathes judgment.... more>>

Max was never supposed to survive.
Marked by flame. Branded with breath. Chosen by a Scripture that lives.

When a holy war stirs beneath the surface of the modern world, Max becomes more than a vessel, she becomes the verdict.
Her body glows with divine glyphs. Her soul speaks in decrees. And her enemies?
They pray she doesn’t speak their names.

But not everyone believes in the sacred anymore.
Whispers call her cursed. Her closest ally betrays her. And as forgotten powers awaken, including the boy born to unmake everything she protects, Max must choose:

Burn the world for Heaven’s will.
Or rewrite the rules herself. <<less

Imagine a shonen sports story. But, it’s not about baseball or soccer. No, this one is about playing a MOBA video game!... more>>

And no, it’s neither League of Legends nor DotA. A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL MOBA, the one MOBA to rule them all - Classmancers!

The game has become so big, that even schools recognize it as a sport. They even allow students to participate in Classmancers clubs and compete against other schools! Who will be the one going to nationals!?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Yuel, a team sport is like a chessboard that comes to life. There’s no greater fun than deconstructing every opponent and predicting twenty of their moves in advance.

And, Classmancers is the ideal stage for such psychological warfare, for it’s a sport in which game theory reigns supreme. At least, usually, it does.

There are also goofs like Lars, who got -200 IQ, yet boast godlike mechanical skill that triumphs against all odds. He’s like your typical OPMC which a cheat, except the cheat does nothing for his intellect.

Yuel and Lars are like water and fire. In other words, 100% compatible! That’s why they form an unlikely duo and set out to dominate Classmancers’ competitive scene!

However, to challenge their OPness, the two will run into rivals who are just as OP! Some of them will turn their teammates immune to Yuel’s psychological attacks, while others will redirect Lars’s almighty strength against himself.

In this harsh environment, the two will keep struggling, struggling, and struggling some more, following their promise to reach the pro scene.

Cait just got hit by a truck. The truck didn't make it. Yesterday, she was just a regular chick with a dick who had never had a problem that wasn't her own fault. Now she might be the toughest thing on the planet, but in a world that seems like it has less rules by the day, will just being tough be enough?... more>>

Nick just hit a beautiful woman with his truck. Worse, it was because of distracted driving. Worse than that, he'd been distracted because he'd suddenly found himself with 13 arms, no head, and a purple ball where his body should be. Hopefully that girl doesn't hold a grudge.

Thrust into the world of superhuman Altereds, Cait and Nick now have to find their new place in the hero organization AEGIS, and defend their home from the myriad dangers presented by World of the Waves.

Oh yeah, and they'll also find the time to crush some ass along the way.

This work was written and completed in Japan, published from September 13, 2010, to February 21, 2013.

Synopsis
The story follows Shingo Iwatsuka, a seemingly ordinary male university student who, aside from being laughed at and ridiculed by fashionable girls, was otherwise normal. Along with Anna Shinozaki, Shiori Okamoto, and other companions he meets, Shingo vows revenge on the girls who mocked him, using his stunning cross-dressing looks as his weapon. The narrative depicts his growth, both mentally and physically, through this journey.
Note: Recent (real-world) economic situations in Japan and globally, epidemics, natural disasters, incidents, and accidents are intentionally omitted to maintain a distinct separation from the story. The setting is a fictional city in a hypothetical Japan.

Setting: Hayasegaike in Arai Ward, Fujiura City, Minami Prefecture-commonly known as Segaike. This is a massive downtown area with numerous skyscrapers, said to be a hub for fashion and trends. It's famous for attracting stylish and cute girls (among whom "High Collar Street" is particularly popular with girls).
Fujiura City is a large city within the fictional 48th prefecture (Minami Prefecture), which does not exist in reality and is located in or near the Kanto region. <<less

Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

It's mine. <<less
