Trapped on a dying Earth, humanity desperately exploited technology to access the parallel world of Hovestile, a realm of magic and monsters. ... more>>

Hundreds of talented individuals were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Nonetheless, the natives of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. The humans from Earth who accepted this task were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, individuals with the ability to improve their natural abilities through fragments of the world's System known as "stats." Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with an innate talent for magic.

Alphonse Kneller is one such outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead.

As he begins to abandon hope, Kirie and Asa—two young feline demihumans—rescue and heal him. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract, a strange tome of equivalent exchange created by an ancient alchemist.

Accepting the contract and a bond with the two sisters, the three new comrades journey into the world as an adventuring party. They are the first members of the guild known as GRIM.

This story is planned out as a massive project spanning multiple volumes.

Do you think that you are a true otaku? The weeb that consumes one terrible rom-com light novel adaptaion after another? Do you think you are so experienced in the field of cliche-packed harems, that you might as well just get isekai'd into one and guide your confused friends toward the 'True End'?... more>>

As something of a scientist himself, Hiro is faced with the most weeb challenge of all - To perfectly recreate all the rom-com cliches and thus finish the storyline with the help of totally original cast of The Main Girl, The Tsundere Childhood Friend, The Not-Related-By-Blood Younger Sister and (not so) many more.

Will Hiro and the team discover the secrets of the anime-esque world they found themselves in? Will they actually make this goddamn maid cafe in the 'School Festival Arc'? And most importantly, will Hiro decide... WHO IS THE BEST GIRL??? <<less

Roman of House Trambelio, or Roman Trambelio for conventional reasons happens to be the object of disdain for many a people and rightfully so, born... more>> into a major magus family with a partially defunct leg and lacking one eye, Roman would no doubt be disdained by the mostly elitist and aristocratic Magi.
Maybe even thought of as a breeding mare. The fact that he was engaged already spoke volumes upon volumes regarding that.
But,
It wasn't as if all hope was lost. Yes he was slightly crippled and no type of healing worked but, had anyone sought to understand why it was so? If they did, did they ever succeed?
The truth of it was, they didn't.
Roman had died before and reincarnated, passed through the origin of all creation, the Root, retaining a self. Some part of his soul was sapped hence the dysfunctions but he'd gained much for it, a power that may shake the very world given time to truly manifest.
Question was, what would he do with it? <<less

Fighting against the system, helping to raise protagonists, becoming the shadow king of the academy, and becoming a threat even bigger than the final boss himself?

That is what we are to them.

Isekai Heroes, overpowered identityless children of god. The self-proclaimed protagonists of this world's history.

With their unlimited God-given charisma and luck, they enslave the mind and body of the blooming talents of the age, rendering them useless.

The complete lack of pride of the Isekai Heroes always makes them the playthings of the royalty and the church of the time. Although there may be some initial conflict with them, in the end they will forgive any inhuman actions of the organizations and befriend them to the point of fighting to the death for them.

Meanwhile, the side characters can only surrender in front of the divine plot of god and remain in the background of the canvas of destiny.

...

A spark.

A spark is all it takes to ignite that canvas.

And engulf the whole world in the flames of independence.

She enjoyed the sounds around her: rustling leaves, snow, winter—the season's name is winter. Musing, she hummed a sound, distancing herself from the noise of people being killed.

Lumia Emelisse will never leave her home planet. A weak heart made sure of that. She's content with it, unlike her twin brother, Sol, who has spent his life studying the stars. He wants to escape to distant cosmos, but Lumi is fine where she is in her shop... right?
That is until an ancient army takes over the entire planet in seconds, lead by a queen of her darkest nightmares, and she seems to have a vendetta against the Emelisse family specifically. Lumi escapes only through dumb luck, but soon finds herself on the other side of the universe.
Lumi is in an unknown galaxy, surrounded by aliens and fighting a ticking clock to get anyone to listen to her pleas. All she has is a dysfunctional group of smugglers to help her, each caught in their own personal war. Yet, when she learns the Queen has a closer tie to her family than she first realized, she knows Sol will be the one to pay for it. The answer to why leads to a mysterious song calling out from somewhere between the folds of space. It promises a power that could bring an end to these tyrannical monsters, or offer the already powerful queen an undefeatable godhood.
Between criminal organizations, exploding cats, and weapons that change form on a whim, Lumi's only choice might be to follow the music to the very edges of the universe - but how much of herself will she lose along the way? <<less
