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.

In 2030, two planets collided; Earth and a planet filled with magic called Lumina. Since then, billions died due to a surge in monsters, refugees were scattered around the world and new countries were formed. Lumina's magic met Earth's technology and soon cities began to form adventurers and armies to combat the ever-growing presence of monsters. However, this leaves thousands displaced, millions of people live in poverty, the poor only get poorer and the rich get richer.... more>>

The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag.

Why are they screaming?

Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world…

Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest.

Hey, this is my first attempt at writing a story and is initially practice.
With this story I'm not yet entirely sure where to go, maybe someone else will be the zombie king.

Eventually, I do wish to split this story into two.

I just hope whoever reads it, will enjoy some of it.

Have a good day all of you.

Generations ago, two alien species depended on a symbiotic bond that was decimated by the Earth-man's arrival.... more>>

Nala, a gentle farming alien of blue, happens upon an injured warrior of red. She nurses him back to health, only to realize that he's not just any fighter, but the king, a specimen highly coveted by the humans she serves. To make matters worse, he's in heat and desperate for assistance. She's in an impossible position. Hand him over to her masters or save him and risk her own neck.

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>>

Hiro Chikakane would answer 'yes' to all of the above. Although he heroically decided to reject his otaku self, his fate had other plans for him.
One day, during his very first date with his very first actual 3D girlfriend, both of them get hit by the infamous truck and find themselves transported into... a harem, rom-com light novel with a ridiculously long title.

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

NPC, mobs, capture targets, secondary characters... ... more>>

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.

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
