Balthazar was just a random giant crab enjoying his life in a fantasy world full of bothersome isekaied adventurers, but then he had to go and accidentally discover the secret of attributes and levels. And also pie. With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day.... more>>

Follow Balthazar as he does everything to find a baker... except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Witness how adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home. And cheer for a crab who makes great new friends by simply buying them.

New chapters every Saturday for the time being, fresh off the bakery!

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries? <<less

Do you have a dream? Who hasn’t, right? But do you have what it takes to pursue it?... more>>

Ever since childhood it was my dream to travel the world; experience new things; meet new people. It, however, couldn’t be – my severe illness gradually limited and finally destroyed each of them: from going to the North Pole and seeing Aurora Borealis with my friends; through going camping in neighbouring forest with my family; to just leaving the confines of my room in the hospice and craving simple human touch. My terminal illness slowly took everything from me, giving me only misery. And when I had nothing more to lose – it finally took my life.

That would be the end of a story – but by a sheer cosmic coincidence, a powerful entity picked up my lost soul and gave a body of my dreams: strong, fast, vivacious, beautiful – a perfect body. Then I was left in a completely new world – one brimming with magic, unknown creatures, breathtaking scenery, and various peoples with vivid and fascinating cultures.

I couldn’t realize my dreams in my past life. This time, I can do everything I ever wanted – and fulfil even desires I had no idea I had.

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. For Millennia the ancient powers fought in a vast war for survival against an endless menace. The Victor? No one knows. 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.

A group of aliens desperately seeking technology to help them in their own war has found one such relic of this ancient war. An ancient battleship that lies dormant on the edge of their borders. Their very presence awakens that ship, and the ship soon finds itself confronted with the mysteries of the past and a mysterious power in the present.

The universe is on the brink of destruction due to the war between gods and dark entities. It falls upon a hybrid to fix this. It falls upon a lord of order to fix this. It falls upon a god and dark entity, Zephyr, to fix this.
...
As you can imagine, this story is a reincarnation tale. The main character is an anti-hero, sometimes entirely villainous. I've added some entities to the Marvel universe that have never existed in this universe before, and I'm sure these entities will fit in well.
- There won't be any romance in the early stages.
- You'll see plenty of blood and slaughter. If you can't handle it, I recommend not reading it.
- The perspective may change throughout the story.
- There will be arcs not found in the Marvel timeline.
- This is not a masterpiece, and aside from another novel I've put on hold, this is my first written work.
- I drew inspiration from the game League of Legends.
- English is not my native language, so you'll see plenty of grammar mistakes. <<less

When fate drags Stryg from his forest home and into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade he must learn that some monsters live everywhere.... more>>

Issa’s shadow powers are a curse, and they are going to kill her. While the potent magic helps her and her sister Kyrae get by on the muddy streets of Ess’Sylantziis, the cost will drive them both to the brink. Will the Temple of Jaezotl that rules over the jungles of the Empire of Jii’Kalaga from its great stone ziggurats actually help them? Or will the pair of sisters—one a lamia, and one an elf—be driven from the shadows of insignificance into the light of the Empire’s power games?
And just what kind of entity is Issa linked to that is neither god nor mortal?... more>>

Scales & Shadows is a fantasy novel with a character-driven plot, elements of drama and political intrigue, and a dash of late romance set in a misty-jungled land of elves and snake people.

"How endlessly dull."... more>>

Noah and his friends are transported to another world in a severely flawed summoning ritual, and are consequently significantly weaker than what they should have been.

And yet, they defy all odds, and still manage to seemingly defeat all demons and find themselves confronting the Demon Lord.

They are less than fleas before him.

With deep psychological scars, they are replaced by heroes far surpassing the historical standard, exiled and left to rot.

But they refuse.

Fairies are a myth.
Tiny creatures that live in the forest, flitting around on butterfly wings, doing whatever they please for their own enjoyment.
Each of them readily displaying their character and magic through their individual colors.
And if you are not careful, they make take you as their entertainment.
So beware, or the fairies might catch ya.... more>>

Yeah, sure.
They are merely stories told to frighten children.
Something parents say to ensure roaming kids come home before dark.
There has never been proof of their existence.

No thinking adult would ever believe the tales.
In every legend, these doll sized creatures wield far more magic than any mage.
That is simply not possible!
Surely, they cannot be real!

But my belief is not necessary.
Not when the impossible wishes to turn my life into a fairytale.

My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God.... more>>

I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away...

That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated.

Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage.

Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

This story will follow a certain {Roaming World Boss} as she experiences life once again in a far different world than it was when she initially was born. Being a girl who doesn't focus on others and does what she wants to do - though getting a 'tad angry' when things don't go right - she ends up experiencing what can only be called an wild life.

Only made more wild by her race as an Oni being discriminated against for being the only race with neither qi nor mana - being anomalies of insane physical ability, however. They weren't 'strength cultivators' though and neither did they pretend to be which only caused more trouble for them as a minority - being heavily damaged in number after the {Second Great War} where they acted as vanguard to pull the gods down for their thrones (more in actual story).

This all not being helped by being a traditional matriarchy; built around women using their strength to 'coerce' their men and each other; in a place where patriarchy was standard.

But...

Violence speaks and nobody is better at being Violent than Violet.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Let me get this straight, this story will be kinky with giant Oni perni being plentiful and what follows with that. Other than that there may be some more stuff so consider yourself warned.

I'm going to go ahead and say it but I love Violet and made this story primarily just because I want to write more with her in a way I simply couldn't in the other two novels. Can't just have her be around all the time because then everything would just end with a punch...

I'm open to idea's about possible plot points and such as I plan to... Well plan less I guess? Just have Violet experience things with no real greater goal than to 'experience'. I truly think that, although she's Violent, Violet is a very lovable character that is just a little cutie I can't help but appreciate.

She doesn't talk much but I have a feeling I needn't explain much on that as it won't take long to figure her out - she's not dumb but just prefers to keep things simple and avoiding what she sees as 'pointless'. This can also lead to her getting wrathful when people get in the way but doesn't discard those who really care for her and is regretful when she hurts someone she doesn't mean to. This section wasn't meant to be about me gushing but telling you guys you can recommend tags and plot points but yea!

I plan to make this a Saturday release I hope everyone enjoys!

(PS. I plan to speed run child life so yea)

Early chapters may seem confusing but that's because it's adapted from my first novel and I don't exactly want to re-tread ground they already know and burry them in information they already know.

Sorry but no real fix for that.

If you want to borrow/use my characters or world I don't mind as long as you hit me in pms so we can get the details down accurately!

Crossovers are a bit of a long term wish of mine tbh. <<less

Hello everyone this is Pride from Shadow Library.

First I just want to tell you all, that this is my first novel and English is not my first language so there will be some mistakes.

second. I hope you enjoy the ride with me as we delve deep in the story. my goal is to write a story I want to read later and I hope you share this passion with me as a reader, and always remember: The only thing that matters is a good story.

One more thing, the story sometimes delves into dark themes, especially when the MC displays his brutality, so please read with caution.

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>>

Death and Reincarnation.... more>>

Kuroe Makoto, the tomboyish ace of her high school track and field club, never spared a thought for these things before. However, when she falls asleep in her Tokyo home after an exhausting marathon and wakes up in a fantasy world, those concepts become her reality. And unlike in the common light novel setting, she isn't reincarnated as the naturally good-looking and talented human hero who gathers a harem effortlessly.

In fact, she isn't reincarnated as a human at all. She is reborn as 'Chaos', child of the demon queen and heir to a kingdom at war with humanity.

Maou Shoujo Magical Chaos puts the Japanese high school girl in a tentacle monster, in this strange tale of a sound human mind possessing a horrifying creature's body. Join Chaos on her oftentimes humorous but also perilous journey through a world of sword and sorcery, as she discovers a newfound appetite for life, terror, and demi-human girls.

A competition between the sun god Lumos and the moon goddess Luna escalates. A competition is held to determine which side will triumph. To do this, each side is allowed to revive four souls in the world and shape them according to their own wishes within certain rules. Who will win in the end and decide the dispute? How do the souls who act as champions of the respective deity fare in a medieval fantasy world full of magic and monsters?... more>>

Lena(now Lava), whom accepted an early death, is now fated to live the longest!... more>>

After losing her mother, Lava was taken into a human orphanage and finds a new family to care for.

Threatened by the pending demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom funded orphanages to squeeze every unknown talent from its citizens.

Lava must now deal with those that want to use her power for their own gain.
Having strength doesn't make you invincible, no matter how strong you are, those you care about will always be your weakness.
Reality can be dark, and not everything will just fall into place perfectly.

Just so you know, this is focused on being 'realistic', plot armor will not bail the MC out and MC is not immune to being a pawn. I expressly wanted to avoid nonsense like an MC saving someone that just happens to be important.
As such, I don't have a problem with getting dark, reality is dark, sometimes you can't expect everything to just work out.

--
Keep in mind this is my first ever attempt at writing.

The beginning chapters are really bad at pacing and description, and I did a lot of redundant stuff trying to come up with a way to drive plot. It wasn't until past ch.23 where a plot came to me.
That I rushed the first chapters and didn't give any backstory really came back to bite me later on. <<less
