Livia Katrina Valentine regains her memories of her past life just as she triggers her own death flag. Rather than a token of strength, her memories haunt her in their steep clarity. <<less

Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context.... more>>

Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn.

I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James.

... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh.

The Demon King has decided to quit ruling The Great Floating City of Arcadia and give it to the humans and non-humans. He no longer has an interest after he had gotten everything he wanted in the world. After he left, his subordinates thought that he was already dead. But it was just his puppet. As for his actual body, he slept in his room for eternity since he wouldn't die.... more>>

The Demon King's favorite toy is his puppets. Because of those, he became a total shut-in in his room. While he was in his eternal sleep, the hero woke him up through his dead puppet. Forcing him to come after her, get out of his room, and destroy that puppet.

When he came out of his room, no one recognized that he was the Demon King as he always used a puppet. His subordinates didn't know that he was the Demon King they followed. Concealing his true identity to his followers, he soon realized the current life they've had after he left. A new chapter unfolds as he experiences the new world around him.

-- WARNING --

As I have already written in the title, this series is subject for a rewrite. I've taken into considerations the comments and suggestions the readers have sent to me through different mediums no matter how plain or absurdly cruel they are, I must accept that they wouldn't leave such comment if they weren't interested in the first place. Whether I like it or not, I must rewrite the whole story.

I'd like to thank those who supported me throughout the journey, and those who believed in me. <<less

To live a quiet life away from high society, 14-year old Alex left home and created a new identity. She changed her name as well as her gender. ... more>>

The catch? She'd lose it all if anyone found out.

To prevent exposure, Alex stayed in the side lines and avoided unnecessary interactions. Her cold demeanor drove the other students away. They eventually learned to leave her alone. After that, it didn't take long for two years to pass by as she spent her days in blissful peace.

Her secluded life had kept her safe. 

Until…

That shattered when Logan Parker caught her with extensions in her hair, make-up on her face, heels on her feet and boobs in her dress.

Not one to give up, Alex needed to fool him.

But how?

How will she keep this web of lies afloat? Will her true identity stay as a secret? Or will her borrowed time be over? 

Take a peek and discover the biggest secret in this fiction world!

You know the setup: A young man on Earth hit by a speeding truck who ends up in a generic fantasy world.

But what about this: A young man in a generic LitRPG fantasy world hit by a carriage who ends up in modern-day San Francisco, and yet still wants to be a hero anyway? That's how Systemless starts, and boy does it never let up.

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

The system can be accepted by anyone who decides to Class Up using the world’s various Sorting Scepters. From then on, leveling up will be possible, but it could come at the cost of one's life. All actions one takes, from combat to breathing, take from their pool of LP (Life Points). Run out, and so too will they perish. The only way to replenish one's LP is to level up and learn new skills.

Eryk Solbourne chooses the [Adventurer] class, destined to explore great worlds, fight magnificent beasts, and inspire others. Now he is a D-Rank hero, but he will forge a powerful destiny for himself... and he will do so in a new world, after The Goddess reincarnates him in a brand-new Earth that is in desperate need of his abilities.

Join Eryk Solbourne and his two Earthen friends Francis and Delta as they adventure across the United States and try to achieve the impossible: becoming the ultimate hero in a world where levels don't even exist.

That was until she was saved by Leo, a fairy who protected the Galaxy Kingdom. To pay off her debt to him, she was stuck with the task of reuniting the two sides after the capricious kings had a war over... something.

Unfortunately, things weren't easy for Leo either as he worked to save the couple, unlocking the secrets of the kingdoms' administrations in the process. What he didn't expect was to find himself falling for an elusive messenger named Sinclair throughout it all, but would his heart allow them to come in?

After awakening in an alley with a several year chunk of memory completely gone, answers are sought. Something tugs at our hero's mind, pulling them across many miles to a strange house in an unfamiliar city. But perhaps that which seems seems sinister at first may lead to love, discovery, and the return of a more authentic self. And, strangely, an innocuous kink collar is the key.... more>>

"You're not about to carry me out in bridal style again, are you?"... more>>

"Do you want me to?" He couldn't help but smirk. Her face from their date surfaced in his memories. He found it just as amusing as back then. Revenge never tasted sweeter. Would she make the same reaction right now?

It was tempting but the venue wasn't the best place for it.

"No!" Eve protested a little too loudly. She pressed her fingers against her mouth and scanned the premise. As she predicted, hundreds of eyes watched them. A groan escaped her lips. She buried her face on the side of his chest, inhaling his cologne.

"Are you sure?" Ambryan asked, genuinely concerned now. He held her chin and raised it. His violet eyes met her hazel ones. The blush on her cheeks had magnified in saturation. He couldn't tell anymore if it came from embarrassment or the alcohol.

Either way, it intrigued him on how much redder she could possibly be.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I'd be gentle this time."

==============

Eve faced the most difficult decision in her life when an opportunity landed on her desk. And that is? To join a special dating site for the most eligible bachelor of the country,

Her boss.

As a secretary, Eve knew affiliations between her and her boss were forbidden. She must stay in his shadow where she didn't pose a threat to his lovers and his admirers. She had taken measures to fit the job, even changing her style of appearance.

Ambryan Hathaway, CEO of Eros Productions, disliked false information. The only ones he allowed were the ones he initiated himself. In order to please his mother, he had participated in the game of love with a string of flings.

Unfortunately, his mother had enough. She must find a way for him to open his eyes and his heart to meeting the right girl. That one spark would be enough for her son to consider marriage.

And who would be the better candidate than his own secretary?

Humanity was close to conquering the Galaxy at the peak of its power. All the other species were either absorbed into the fold, becoming citizens of the Hegemony of Men or were pushed towards the edges of yet-to-be-explored parts of the Milky Way. But everything has its end... and the end for Humanity came way too suddenly. Nobody knows, not even today, what caused the collapse more than 5,000 years ago, but one thing is certain: No humans have ever been sighted again since then. The Galaxy was changed once more, giving birth to new empires, climbing up on the ruins, left behind their hated foes, the ones who previously conquered them.... more>>

Today, those who call themselves the descendants of Humanity, those who carry their genes, a result of their previous interbreeding of species, are ostracised, hunted, and persecuted by the rest of the Galaxy. Sylen belongs to such a branch of "humans," carrying genes from his ancestors and from another species. A mix. A hybrid. A mutant. She traveled with her grandfather, salvaging, searching for old tech from a bygone era, and trying to get by. They were just sailing back home after a successful find when another life-changing event happened right before them; The rediscovering of a living, breathing human out in the emptiness of space!

Maybe the answers to what happened back then are just around the corner, or maybe it should have been left unanswered all along. <<less

Lucas lost everything. His abusive father pushed his mother to the brink of death. His younger sister turned into a chip for blackmailing and lost her life. Left alone in the world without his loved ones, he decided to end his life to meet them in the afterlife.... more>>

Instead of dying, Lucas was born as a baby without his past memories in a world of cultivation. He had a loving family of mother and older sister. Even without his memories, as Lucas grew up, he knew in his heart that he had to protect his family from all the evils and strived to become stronger.

With his growth, Lucas occasionally started to see many heart-rending visions, which affected him greatly and affected the way he looked at others, including his family. The revelations shocked him. He couldn't trust anyone, even his once close family and friends.

What were those visions? How will Lucas cope with the unsettling revelations and his chaotic feelings?
Will he become estranged or strengthen his bonds with his family and friends and gain the love and warmth that he once longed for.

Read from the perspective of Lucas and join him on his journey of growth, acceptance and love.

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

So what happens if you feel like you belong nowhere... then find out you do belong somewhere... and that place should be impossible? There’s no such thing as magic or werewolves, especially only a few hundred miles north of Toronto, right? And what could be in Jesse’s missing past that would make him fit in there?... more>>

Jesse’s been having a tough time at home with his adopted parents, and even life on the streets, with the one friend he trusts, has more appeal. During a particularly bad moment, he finds himself some way north of the city he lives in, and things just keep getting stranger from there: Haven, the village he stumbles over, is not only primarily pagan, but a substantial percentage of the population can do insane things. Like manipulating light into doorways linking places, or fixing injuries with a touch, or changing into wolves.

The early part of his life has been a blank to him as long as he can remember, but the more time he spends in Haven, the more hints there are that a place like this is where he belongs. But how did he come to be alone several years before, with no memory? Is there unfinished business lurking in his past that can come back to haunt him in his new life? And how much danger are his Haven friends in because of him?

Very much an Ugly Duckling tale. Only with fewer ducks. ;)

This was my first finished novel. Comfort playing with gender and experimenting with other diversity came later. There *are* intimate poly relationships and a sort of non-exclusive MM friendship-with-benefits. V0.01 of Black Wolf was written during the mid-1990's, while I was in my late teens/early 20s. While it has undergone three or four major overhauls since then, updating it to take place later proved not to be a viable option. I realize some readers may find concepts like the absence of cell phones and Internet rather alien.

** Content warnings: minimal gore/violence (largely wolves fighting bad things), occasional bad language, the only sex is a non-explicit masturbation scene. The MC does start off homeless and there are a couple of mild scenes around this. References to drug/alcohol abuse, childhood abuse, and thoughts of self-harm, but not described in depth and not shown as positive. There are a few things I might do differently these days (Naomi in particular - love her but don't know that she's well-handled) so please be forgiving! ** <<less

Kayla hates traders.

When a powerful man intent on revenge starts hunting her, Kayla realizes the only way to save herself may be to accept Carl's offer. But that would mean surrendering to OmniLab and giving up everything she knows.
