The young yet talented Miya Yuna is no stranger to interplanetary danger on a large scale. In her youth, she charged the frontlines, jumping from planet to planet through raging gunfire, mecha-brute assaults, and angelic bombs from sub-orbital artillery ships. Then danced with crickers, or space criminals, who practiced slitting children's innards to appease green goddesses in the sky. But the cricker underground was brewing as a new entity was providing mecha-wear, genetic mutations, and weaponry to beings hellbent on universal domination and those who'd look the other way to escalate their own agendas.... more>>

But to Miya, it's all the same; As long as she's able to give them another asshole through their skull.

In a universe where unchecked progress blurs the line between science and the impossible, can one young alien-hybrid protect entire galaxies—or will she become its next greatest threat?

Dying should be as bad as it gets. But when Kanin's soul is snatched from its path to the afterlife to be bound to a bottle of ink, he's cast into a new world where his sole purpose is to perform a senile wizard’s yard work.... more>>

Determined to evade magical errands, upgrade his fragile body, and return home (preferably alive), Kanin teams up with an elf trapped in a toy octopus to find a way to break their spells.

- A dash of humor and horror
- Light LitRPG with slow but steady progression
- Non-human underdog MC (I mean, he's a glass bottle)

Those fools under-powered my summoning ceremony and I was 'left with the bag'. With inadequate soul potential, I've had to curse myself to create an opportunity to live, perhaps live well in this new world. Or...maybe I just totally screwed myself. Even the goddess got curious when she realized what I had done.... more>>

“So, she finished. I wonder what took her so long to decide...WTF! Interesting! Let’s mark her for further observation to see how things turn out. This girl is perhaps the most entertaining thing to happen in the last few millennia. Hmm, let’s mess with her just a little bit. Tweak this here...and...a little over there. Heheheh. This will be FUN!"~Goddess

She tweaked my status settings after I had spent so long on them just to make things a little more entertaining. Well, at least she only changed some cosmetic and semantics stuff. None of the vital parts of my status were ruined.

In a world where rank, blood-ties and religion are intertwined; Silika Everest lived an idyllic life as the third child of the Marquess of Oblon, spending her time causing trouble for the estate servants and playing with her siblings to her heart's content.... more>>

Until a fateful day when a game of hide and seek turned into tragedy. When she woke up, her life had turned on its head, everything she had now slipping away from her.

That day her quiet life began— an unforgiving life where all odds are stacked against her.

****************

Hi there! This is my first webnovel story! I hope you will enjoy it and help me make it better!

I try to keep my chapter lenghts between 1,500-2,500 words

The story will follow Silika, the young daughter of an aristocratic count who becomes handicapped and must adapt to a world not designed for people in her situation. She will have to struggle through her disability, religion, family, abuse, trauma and politics. The world will not be kind to her, but she will find her place.

The tone is a bit darker at times in this story, but not in 'edgy' or 'grimdark' ways. They reflect the main character's struggles. There will be happy times, funny times, but also sad times and painful time. The main character will grow and learn in what I hope will be a very interesting experience for you all to read! <<less

He holds the key to unlocking soul bonding, a power as beautiful as it is devastating. Can Kira trust him to wield this forbidden magic for good, or will he succumb to its corrupting influence?

Time is running out. Every day, young men vanish, sacrificed to fuel the king's twisted immortality. Can Kira master this forbidden magic before the next tribute claims her loved ones?

>> The story of a soldier and a rebel as they unravel the mysteries, plots, and lies of everything they've ever known. ||BL Fantasy Adventure||... more>>

...

The world is shadowed in the remnants of its past splendor; Creator's splendor. When the One True God fought Envier to stop him from destroying humanity, many of the glorious temples and towers that Creator had helped build were destroyed. After subduing him, she secluded herself away in heartbreak and the ruins were left; tragic monuments of grandeur humanity can never recreate.

Kiol is the Society's best soldier. He killed the Cult of Envy's leader and eradicated her nest. He does what he's told without question and his targets always fall—without exception. Until he chases down Nirin in the middle of a raid, the boy whose life he spared once already and finds himself inexplicably saving again. He feels a connection to Nirin unlike anything he's felt before, even knowing the boy is a cultist and a rebel. But bringing Nirin into his life engenders a complex web of emotions, secrets, and lies that changes Kiol's life forever and forces him to question everything he's ever been told. <<less

Kenn has powers, it's not a weird ability to have in this world, rare, yes, but not impossible. Superheroes exist in this world. So how about he gave it a go? Helping people doesn't sound so bad.

At the dawn of a new era, on the verge of the industrial revolution, the world was on the brink of great discoveries and changes. But, while scientists and explorers were pushing the boundaries of their countries and the possibilities of technology, one continent remained hidden, shrouded in mystery and legends whispered about it in the dark corners of old taverns.
This newly discovered continent, known among adventurers as 'Novus Mundi', became the last refuge for those eager for wealth, power, and discovery. From all corners of the world, people with different skills, hopes, and dreams headed towards Novus Mundi, driven by tales of unexplored riches and wonders.... more>>

As newcomers arrived with advanced tools and knowledge of machines, led by the early stages of the industrial revolution, they were not prepared for what they found. Novus Mundi was not only home to unexplored natural beauties and resources but also a world of magic and mysteries. The natives of this continent, wise in ancient arts and in harmony with nature, wielded magic in ways that technologically advanced strangers could scarcely imagine.

The island was home not only to people who lived in harmony with nature, using magic for everyday life, but also to wondrous creatures that legends depicted as myths. From peaceful enchanted forests hiding fairies and nature spirits to dark caves inhabited by ghouls and monsters from nightmares, Novus Mundi was a world where magic and science collided and intertwined.

The conflict and cooperation between colonizers and natives, technology and magic, became the foundation for new stories, legends, and conflicts. While some sought ways to exploit the continent's resources, others sought understanding and harmony between the two worlds. Through this conflict and cooperation, Novus Mundi became a living stage for adventures, discoveries, and, above all, a new chapter in human history. <<less

On August 24, 2024, the anniversary of the patenting of the waffle iron, the destruction of Pompeii, and one of the sackings of Rome, Meghan wakes up to find herself transformed into a dragon.... more>>

Actually, she's always known that she was a dragon, but stuck in a human body. Or, at least, that's what she told herself and everyone else when she was 9 years old, back in the 80s. But now, at 50 years old, her old childhood dream has suddenly, and without warning, become true. She's hit dragon puberty, and her neighbor Rhoda thinks maybe she shed her old skin and ate it in her sleep. Or something like that.

And the thing about it is that everyone else seems to be taking her transformation for granted as well. Like it was inevitable or something.

Still, the whole thing is so wild and bizarre and such a huge change for everyone that her simultaneous gender transition is a second thought, hardly even commented on. Maybe it's because of where she lives, in the Pacific Northwest on the I5 corridor, where a lot of people are just really cool about everyone else's identities. Well, almost everyone else's. Well, some people.

There are just a couple of problems.

She's not the only dragon to come out of the closet on that day. Maybe 1 in 200,000 people on the entire planet has turned out to be a dragon. And draconic instincts are pretty strong and disruptive. They're territorial.

And, of course, there are whole groups of people around the globe who, while somehow not surprised by this turn of events, certainly object to them. <<less
