All Oscar Bromley wants is a little peace and quiet. An alchemist with no friends, family, or aspirations, Oscar has consigned himself to a life of misanthropy. Unfortunately, his half-vampiric side is acting up. Haunted by hungers he cannot control, violent intrusive thoughts, and an alter ego that hunts at night, it seems there's no one to save him.... more>>

Or so he thought.

Alabastra Camin is a thieving urban folk hero and adventurer extraordinaire. She, and her partners in crime Faylie and Tegan, are Oscar's (begrudging) old acquaintances, shop regulars, and thorns in his side... Yet they may just be the key to solving his blood curse. They're intent on taking him on an adventure, where they'll lie, steal, cheat, uncover a dark plot of conquest, rediscover some buried personal truths, and maybe even fall a little bit in love.

Whether he likes it or not.

Witch Hunt is a web serial set in a gaslamp fantasy world, where swords and sorcery meet speakeasies and swank. Expect gratuitous violence, fantastic modernity, explorations of personal autonomy, trans rights and trans wrongs, struggles against the rising tide of patriarchal authoritarianism, strange magic, and magic strangers.

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.

Note: I have given up on the foolish people who keep asking, even though I have explained repeatedly.

1. Aoki's body is special, don't ask again.

2. I use the theory that if one has a little Chakra and uses a little Natural Energy, it might be possible to use a limited Sage Mode; this is a theory, A DAMN THEORY!

3. The "Little Chakra" disease is just an addition to the storyline, BECAUSE MASASHI KISHIMOTO never discussed the bodies of Guy, Duy, and Lee! So I think Aoki has a slight resemblance to them.

4. Why is there such a strange disease? Because it’s not even in the story? That’s BECAUSE MASASHI KISHIMOTO never discusses anything in detail; Medical Ninjutsu is never explained in DETAIL! Even Fuinjutsu is never explained in DETAIL!

5. So don’t ask again and give bad reviews if you haven’t read to the end, just wait, damn it! I will explain it in the upcoming chapter. <<less

He was reborn in a foreign world as a young mercenary, waking up surrounded by corpses, lost in a land where power is taken, not given.... more>>

He knows that to have a fulfilling life this time around, he can't only hope that doing the right thing will be a reward in itself. He knows that he is no hero. And that heroes don't get paid... So, he is done being a pawn. If the world wants to take advantage of him again, he’ll take up the gloves and deal with it—on his own terms.

Author's notes:

Hey-ho! First things first, this is my first try at writing an anti-hero type of MC. I will try not to do it in the edgy way but more in the "I play by my own rules" type of way as he tries to cut out a slice of pie for only himself in the new world. Of course, not from the get-go, as I want to develop the character gradually, focusing on how his personality blooms and shifts throughout the story. If all goes well, he will slowly grow from a nobody to a proper underworld boss by the end.

As for the current chapter release schedule, it will be Monday-Wednesday-Friday. <<less

After the great collapse, the grand city of Argia remains a spiraling city that beacons all in the world to its walls. A land thought holy and cursed and the only place on earth where humanity has chained the devils that ended the world into their will. ... more>>

A city ruled by power, money, and souls. Where great criminal syndicates have gained the power of demons and bent reality to their will, but below it, a new force has arrived the demon hunt that aims to eradicate all demons within the city, they are the only ones that can kill that those cant be killed. To wage war against demons is to wage war again the city itself and to defeat their enemies they too will have to take on the cruel games of the city, money, power, and souls will call forth a hidden war within the streets.

These are the chronicle of the devil hunters, the man, and woman that have decided to hunt the most powerful demonic rules of the impossible city by calling demons of their own. A vagabond that called for a demon to be unseen in the unforgiving city. A woman that shares her mind with a demon seeking the top of the grand city. A man whose body twisted into an inhuman shape all for the sake of vengeance. All of the hunters seek to destroy the evil within the city. When silent falls whose tale will be sung upon the sky of the city? Who will stand on the top of the last bastion of humanity? A cruel hunt begins among those who sell their soul for the dreams shining on the grand city lights and those who wish to snuff out its light.

Nero Prince, a man from Earth, had been betrayed and cheated on by those he once held dear—his family, friends, and lover. When given a second chance at life after his death, he was offered the opportunity to transmigrate into the Marvel Universe as Nero Principe, the last surviving member of the once-powerful Principe crime family. Along with this new life came the Familia System, a mysterious power that allowed him to summon characters, abilities, and items from other fictional worlds. However, Nero Prince, scarred by his past betrayals, chose not to accept the offer. He realized that no matter how powerful he became, he would always live in the shadow of Principe’s life—his relationships... more>> would never be truly his. He relinquished the chance, gifting the Familia System and the future it promised to Principe himself.

Nero Principe, now awakening with memories of another world where his life was just a story, is driven by a different ambition. Once too weak to take revenge, he had buried his desire for justice deep within him after his family was slaughtered by Kingpin. But with the Familia System in his grasp, Principe now has the means to reclaim his family's legacy and avenge their deaths.

With the Familia System now at his disposal, Nero Principe's ambitions extended far beyond the criminal underworld that had once enslaved his family’s legacy. He wasn’t interested in merely ruling over the fragmented remnants of New York’s crime syndicates like some small-time mafia boss. Nero's vision was far greater. Now armed with the power to summon characters, abilities, and items from fictional worlds, he saw his newfound strength as a path to something much larger—the chance to reshape the very fabric of the Marvel Universe itself.

Nero wasn't driven by blind revenge. The slaughter of his family by Kingpin had scarred him, yes, but vengeance alone wasn’t what fueled his actions. It was the simple truth that now, for the first time, he had the means to act. His goal wasn’t just to topple the criminal empire Kingpin had built; it was to claim power on a much grander scale, transcending the petty turf wars of New York's underworld.

He gathered his closest friends—people he trusted not just with his life but with his dreams. By his side is Maria Valdez, the love of his life, whose calm and creativity help guide him. His inner circle includes Nigel, his wise mentor; Anthony, a fierce protector; Sofia, a tech genius; Diego, a charismatic tactician; and Donald, a resilient medical expert. Together, they weren’t just rebuilding the Principe name; they were creating a new force capable of influencing the entire Marvel Universe.

Through achievements and quests, Nero earns powerful allies and items from across fictional worlds. Now, with the Familia System, he can influence events on a cosmic scale, rewriting the future of the Marvel Universe.

Warnings

First and foremost, Nero Principe will share the existence of the Familia System and his memories from Nero Prince, with his closest circle—Maria, Nigel, Anthony, Sofia, Diego, and Donald. The Familia System guarantees their loyalty, and Nero, in turn, will never betray their trust by keeping secrets from them.

Diego, one of the main characters, is openly gay. While his sexuality will be hinted at throughout the story, he will not have any romantic involvement with Nero or other members of the main group.

This is not a harem or R-18 novel. Maria is the love of Nero's life, and their relationship will remain exclusive from beginning to end. No third parties will interfere, and while their bond is central to the story, there will be no explicit sex scenes.

The novel will feature POV shifts, where chapters may follow summoned characters or other figures from the Marvel Universe. Nero won't always be the focus. <<less

The usual for Cheshire.

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

Cheshire, from inception, was a cornered cat forced to fight for every inch when others were gifted miles from birth.

That didn't stop her.

While others were born with unbelievable cheats she studied the world to create the foundation of her own path to godhood - creating mystical arts that allowed her to fight both dragons & gods - even taking advantage of her mortal nature. Uniting countless "copies" of herself from across the multiverse to become a force to fierce that none dared to challenge them. Yet the Cheshire responsible for all that was unable to achieve immortality unlike her counterparts who had essentially split into two different factions only kept together by her.

Through these factions, one growing through training while other via experimenting on their bodies & souls, she managed to cut out a little slice for herself where the souls of children would be able to forever forget about the tragedies of their lives. Able to play in her little garden. However she could only expand her lifespan for so long so decided to go out as the warrior cat she was.

What she didn't expect... Was to wake up again.
