Lilia would rather sleep all day than go to class. Avoiding her problems sounds like a better idea than getting hurt. But that was just a typical day for a girl living on a military school compound surrounded by the greenest Wastelands that ever existed. It doesn't help that she and five others were in hiding. Her species were the ones responsible for almost destroying the human race. Well, at least she wasn't alone. However, that brings about another source of problems.... more>>

Do they all get along? No. Are they stuck together for the rest of their lives? Yes. Do they all need therapy? Darn, right, they do.

So this is Lilia's (Bryson, Druid, Heather, Terran, and Shadow)'s story; I hope you like it.

My friend photographed the picture. She allowed me to use it for my novel.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

It's been a couple of years, so I am reposting and editing. This is the best way for me to know where I'm at and where I need to go with the story.

Thank you. <<less

Slimes are stupid!
Annoying little pests that don't think about anything.
How would they? They don't even have a brain.
They don't even think about what they do, dissolving anything in their reach.
That's worse than a beast acting on instinct, that's just following a program.
A plague of mindless balls of goo.
If it were up to me they should all get eradicated.
At least that’s what I thought.
Until my life was turned into a mess.... more>>

Erick is just a normal dude who is definitely, positively, probably not transgender (no matter how envious he is of other trans girls). Or at least he that’s what he thinks, until his best friend shows him a trans femme forum.

Maybe she could even deal with all this gender stuff, if it wasn’t for the fact that she’s also started having weird hallucinations of a far off world. Is she losing her mind? The warrior girl who starts to share her thoughts and perceptions doesn’t seem to think so. In fact, it seems she knows a lot more about their strange connection than she lets on.

A story of friendship, plurality, magic, romance, and the power of self love.

In a time, now remembered only as myths and legends a great scourge threatened to consume the universe. It was an age of war unlike any fought before and since. A war of such fantastic scope, and extent that age-old enemies joined together in historic alliances. Entire worlds lay devastated, and vast fleets were raised to wage war across galaxies.

The ultimate fate of the precursors and their enemy has been lost to time, but neither has been seen since the Great War of Legend. To this day relics of that great war can... more>> still be found.

Myths have existed for as long as humanity has, to describe that which we could not understand, but almost all of these are told from the human (or some other outsider's) point of view.

Arc 3 - As the dust settles from the clash in arc 2, the corruption spreads and catches the attention of larger players within the universe, but as the crew some come to find, someone doesn't need to be corrupted- to be thoroughly corrupt. Might meets desire as the Rewritten expand their operations and show the universe that they are here to stay whilst Diego tries to find a way out of his new situation.

18+ only - This is a very adult story from the very beginning with strong focus on futanari on male action, it does have good story elements however (so i've been told) - if that doesn't put you off, please continue. Features anthropomorphic characters, violence, corruption, aliens and an awful lot of goo.

This is a rewrite of the first arc of my Sweet Venom series, which can be found here - https://www.scribblehub.com/series/367460/sweet-venom/
as the original was written over 10 years ago at this point and I wanted to try writing something that was a little more modern and placed less of a focus on Diego getting is ass wrecked, at least from the beginning anyway.

Level 1 (GREEN) - Vanilla sex scenes, likely to be male on female
Level 2 (AMBER) - More diverse and "saucier" sex featuring the corrupted cast and futa biology
Level 3 (RED) - Scenes involving more alien biology, more fetish based work, potential soft non-con
Level 4 (BLACK) - Unusual fetishes and potentially offensive scenes with hard non-con being a possibility <<less

Volume 1: Prologue to Adventure is now out on Amazon in Ebook and Audiobook!

Amazon Summary:

An intelligent young man embarks on an epic journey through a virtual world in the first volume of this near-future fantasy/adventure series.

Declan has never cared much for VRMMO games. No matter how many times his best friend, Matt, has urged him to get into the latest craze and escape the monotony of their broken-down reality, he always finds something about the build or the engine that drives him crazy. But when an AI hacks into his Somatic Implant and invites him into a secret virtual world, he can’t resist the chance to explore.

The lush, post-apocalyptic landscape of Gaia is unlike any simulation Declan has ever encountered, and it’s only the gateway to the even grander and more realistic world known as Indiri. Soon, Declan and Matt are going on wild quests as their avatars—Dustin the Magic Myconid and Noam the Tiefling Bard—navigating a world of travelers and fighters to make their way to Indiri’s high-fantasy lands.

But Declan’s journey isn’t always smooth. And as he encounters digital gods, dangerous guilds, and powerful forces attempting to use him as a pawn, he must learn to forge his own path . . . or risk becoming an NPC in his own life.

Prologue to Adventure is an explosive start to an intricately plotted fantasy series filled with heart-pounding adventure and enchanting characters

However, both of them managed to survive thanks to Soru's mysterious power, which he already possessed before their arrival on the other world. This power he possessed was soon found out by Reika, whom she dubbed it as "Power-Shift" ability.

With Soru's ability and Reika's adaptability, they ventured into this new world together. Although their personalities didn't match well, they discovered places that seemed unreal, meet new people and friends, and awaken their innermost emotions which they thought won't happen. <<less
