After the alarms, sirens and nuclear warnings, Kai wakes up in an empty white room. With no idea what to do, he just waits for anything to happen...hoping something will happen. Only when the voice of...something... breaks him out of the monotonous life of the white room, he realises the problems he will have to face just to survive.... more>>

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Sammy was just another struggling college student when she got transported to another realm and transformed into the wholly (holy?) different form of a goddess. Now she has to acquire followers to appease the ever helpful System.

The worst part was that her powers had something stupid to do with mirrors. Go figure.

Progression fantasy god game from the seat of power — care to take over (er, save) the world, one follower at a time? Extremely (multi) class-based LitRPG system inspired by alternate TTRPGs as well as good ole DnD. GURPS as well. Does not ignore human/deific/fae nature as having sexuality, but there is no smut nor is the focus there. Definitely is there for amusement!

Romantic subplot included — slow-burn from the beginning (you won't even know who) with doubt and anxieties to tackle, but has inevitable resolution.

- Third-person POV
- Leveraging unusual abilities/ creative problem-solving
- Geeky, sassy, snarky, but lovable MC
- Pop-culture references

The Grand Myth Retold.... more>>

Pangu split the chaos to create the world but sacrificed himself in the process. His corpses incarnated into all things. His eyes became the sun and moon, his breath formed wind and clouds, his voice transformed into thunder and lightning, his bones turned into metal, and so much more.

How could a world be bereft of life?

Numerous lifeforms came into being, including dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and, of course, gods. The mighty heavenly emperor, Di Jun. The kind creator of the Underworld, Empress Pingxin. The beautiful lunar goddess, Changxi. The heroic sun slayer, Houyi.

And most famous of all, the inheritors of Pangu, the Three Purities. Laozi, the Heavenly Venerable of Virtuous Way; Yuanshi, the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning; Tongtian, the Heavenly Venerable of Numinous Treasures. There was one teeny problem.

"Why the hell am I a girl?" Tongtian roared at the heavens. <<less

Dark One is set in the kingdom of Vorthe, a land that has earned its peace and stability as a result of the efforts and sacrifices of past heroes. But alas, calamity draws near! A being of unearthly hunger for chaos and destruction, which leaves ghost cities in its wake — a creation of the Cataclysm from eons past — will soon be awakened. ... more>>

The Royal family goes to great lengths to cover this up as the utmost of secrets. However, our protagonist, Jerome, was reborn in Vorthe to inherit this Ancient Dark Power.

Jerome will embark on a journey to rescue his friends and family who will be displaced all around the kingdom of Vorthe, all while escaping condemnation brought down upon him by the will of powers he should never have raised his hand in resistance against. All these he does while keeping the Beast inside him at bay. But it bides its time, waiting...

For a moment of weakness.

Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Longevity is not uncommon, but immortality is a thing of legend! <<less

aka "This Experimental Project To Save The World Made Me Grow A Penis, Now What?!"... more>>

In the not too distant future Earth has been overrun by the creatures from Outside the multiverse, an event that has since been dubbed 'The Invasion'. Humanity has been decimated, but some enclaves of organized resistance have emerged. One of these is Base 15, the military base housing Project Divinity, a way for people to awaken god-like powers and face the Outsiders head on.
One of those tasked with awakening the latent potential of her peers is Elaine Caldwell, for whom the idea of being swarmed by attractive women she needs to bond with *should* be heavenly.
Except the drugs that gave her this power had some unforeseen side effects. Ten whole inches of side effects she hasn't quite come to terms with, to be precise.

Join her and her teammates as they fight back against the darkness that has taken over the world and gradually find out who and what caused the Invasion. Oh, and watch as Elaine gets to grips with the additional equipment she gained along the way and finds out that maybe, just maybe, a futanari gathering a harem of hot girls and traps doesn't have to stay the stuff of doujins.

"In time, you will realize that you hold more magic than most can fathom."

A lesbian science fiction retelling of Ragnarok and the events leading to it.... more>>

It has been a millennium since mankind abandoned its home. Corporations have carved up the heavens, and brought humanity to the stars with them to finalize those borders in blood. Their weapon of choice: Einherjar, ten meter tall humanoid mechs, powered by an exotic energy source as-of-yet barely understood.

Just under the illusion of peace sold to the public, mercenary pilots fulfill the wills of those who hold the reins of power. Pilots like Aria, a conscript turned freelance mercenary aided by her illegal and fully sentient AI companion, Nimue. After taking what seemed to be a routine job for a routine client, Aria and an erstwhile rival, Maks, find themselves facing down something older, more territorial, and far more deadly than any corporate force. And what’s more, their encounter has drawn the baleful eye of the deranged leader of the Penrose Foundation upon themselves. <<less

"Six severed Wills, their blessing now a curse.
"Six mighty rulers, in conflict they traverse.
"Six weeping armaments, blood they doth embrace.
"And when six converge as one, a Mother's lostward wish shall finally take place."... more>>

The land is fractured. The people are divided. Humanity's creator has perished long ago; now, they are doomed to stagnate under the celestial expanse, nations waging war on each other in a desperate attempt to hold dominion over what little authority remains.

Yet, not all is forsaken. A Comet has been birthed by the earth and sky. Their descent brings forth a rare boon long thought lost to the ravages of despair: hope. And so the forces of the world begin to move in earnest, bewitched by the promise of a brighter morrow.

One is a winged King, their Will confined to the gilded cage that is duty.

One is a malicious Corvid, gaze transfixed to the horizon whispering of conquest.

And one is a nameless Knight. Forgotten. Slumbering. Ready to fulfill its purpose.

Six Wills. Six rulers. Six armaments.

When six converge as one, humanity shall finally reach out to the Stars.

This is a rewrite of an already completed novel that finished running in December of 2023. It is not on Scribblehub, rather a website called RoyalRoad under the name of Aegis: The First Attempt. If you want to peruse it while waiting for the new chapters to come out, please feel free, but I first began writing it while very inexperienced with prose, grammar, and pacing in general. Thus, the quality of it isn't as polished as I would prefer it to be, so I'm doing a full rewrite to really bring this world of mine the love and care it deserves.

Updates: Wednesday and Sunday

I would also like to give a warm thank you to HWPerfidy for creating the cover art for this novel, and to Wong40k, GabbieMok, and X-luminoux-x for the art/mixing in subsequent volumes. I am spoiled to receive such help. <<less

“Lying deep within Alistar’s kingdom is a power said to rule the world. At least that's what everyone believes... and why they chose to betray me.” Having lived a pitiful life, Cassian tragically perishes along beside his unrequited love interest, becoming swept away into the protagonist role of his unfinished webnovel, "The Water God and his Silver Dragoness.” A place where gods are worshiped, kingdoms collide to fight for an old ancient power, and spirits cause mayhem in the streets.... more>>

Leon is quite the flirtatious and eccentric person that Cassian was infatuated with in the real world, however, Leon is only a side character here. The notorious leader cares for this world’s most powerful characters and Cassian is the heir of Alistar’s kingdom with the male lead constantly falling into his lap, but despite being given a second chance, his new life as Crown Prince seems to be spiraling out of control. The script keeps changing, characters are developing beyond their existing roles, and this world seems to want to watch the downfall of their main protagonist. <<less

In a realm where the infernal flames have inexplicably frozen over, transforming Hell from a domain of fire and brimstone into a desolate icy wasteland, lies a tale of unexpected journeys and hidden destinies. Among the few who dare to traverse this frozen Hell is Snow, a young woman whose ordinary life was upended when fate pulled her from the mortal world into the depths of the underworld.... more>>

Alone in a realm far from everything she once knew, Snow navigates the treacherous ice with empathy and a mysterious ability that sets her apart. But her solitude is short-lived. Fate soon brings her together with two strangers, each with their secrets and stories, forging an unlikely alliance in the face of the unknown. Together, they embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of Hell's transformation and challenge the very fabric of the celestial realms.

Yet, as they venture deeper into the icy heart of the underworld and beyond, Snow and her companions find themselves pursued by dark forces. Unbeknownst to Snow, her arrival in Hell has set events that threaten the balance between Heaven and Hell, making her a target for entities seeking to maintain, exploit, or upend this balance.

Bound by an ancient oath and driven by a destiny she is only beginning to understand, Snow's quest is one of discovery, duty, and the pursuit of destiny against the backdrop of a world turned upside down. "The Frost Maiden's Oath" is a narrative of hidden truths, the courage to face them, and the exploration of the thin line between salvation and damnation. It’s a story about the paths we find ourselves on, the allies we choose, and the relentless spirit required to confront the shadows of our worlds and of ourselves.

Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over.
But that's all about to change.... more>>

An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong?

As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought.

Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start?

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.

Here we have the tale of the gods, not of Earth, but of a new world, and how they find their own purpose, in the Game of the World.
