What a wrong way to reincarnate after being murdered by one's best friend!... more>>

Nekohiko's throat was slit as he was ascending his throne as the Supreme Divine Emperor. A moment later, his murderer claimed that very throne for himself. To add the insult to the injury -- Nekohiko's name was erased from all the history books as though he had never existed.

Driven by intense resentment, Nekohiko refused to die. He reincarnated. He had to find out how someone who loved him and who he loved back could destroy him so utterly along with everything Nekohiko stood for.

The only problem was that he reincarnated as a... tree. No, much worse than that. A cut tree. A simple wooden log sent to a workshop to be shaped into, let's say, a table, or a chair, or maybe -- if fortunate -- into a bookshelf for the new Emperor.

Until Nekohiko meets a soul that understands his pain and is willing to help a poor tree log gain shape that is far more fitting for a human bent on nothing but sweet, slow revenge.

Or, even better -- several shapes.

I will release a chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

See the Glossary for more Information about the romance (ML section). Or in general -- for pictures and miscellaneous stuff about the book. ^^

The story is a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns and will involve a lot of mystery-solving to understand the motivations and goals of different characters. Action sequences will happen when the plot calls for them, but they will all require buildup to greater impact. The main themes are emotional and psychological explorations of identity, desire, fate, and intent. Characters will grow and develop across present arcs but flashbacks to provide context and mystery clues to their behaviors will be in order, yet without overpowering the present narrative (Flashbacks are episodic slice-of-life and do not have their own plot line).

LONER MEETS GODDESS ... more>>

Takei Tanaka, an average high schooler, goes about his life in an uninterested manner until he stumbles upon a girl in need of help. That girl turned out to be Akari Akazawa, the number one beauty of his school. Due to some circumstances, they end up spending time with each other which results in their relationship blossoming into something new. A romantic comedy filled with 99% fluff and 1% seriousness is about to start!

Written in the style of Japanese web novels. This is the original work of an amateur writer, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.

High schooler Sawatari Mikasa has it all: An aptitude for sports, above-average grades, lots of friends, and a little brother that she loves more than anything in the entire world. However, after learning of the boy, Yuu's sudden hospitalization one fateful day, she rushes to check on him in a panic, and it all gets cruelly ripped away when her negligence throws her into the path of an oncoming car.... more>>

When she awakes, she finds herself before the being known as 'God', who offers her a second chance at life in a new world. She accepts, and only has one question:

"What happened to Yuu?"

But God would not give her an answer, and before she knows it Mikasa is brought to a world of magic straight out of a fantasy novel.

...

...However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that.

Having somehow retained all of her memories of her previous life, Mikasa — now Micah — makes it her goal to find out what really happened that day. Did Yuu survive, or did he die too? Was he also in this world somewhere? Even if she has to become God's enemy, or even that of the world's, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure her brother is safe.

He needs her, after all. And deep down inside of her heart, made fragile by events of the past, she knows... she needs him too.

"'Find Yuu' or 'Find God'. I don't care which comes first."

Micah's journey to find her 'Happily Ever After' had begun.

Shiro believes he's been sent to the wrong school.... more>>

Rormund Academy: home to only the best of the best. A school so exclusive even its name remains elusive to the public. An establishment where only the wealthiest, smartest, and most athletic students of the world reside. Shiro exhibits none of these qualities, having more in common with a sheet of plywood than with royalty.

Regardless, he intends on spending the last of his school years as planned; as a normal schoolboy and nothing more.

Until they see the scars on his back.

Nevertheless, her story did not end here. Who is to say that Death is our last path? For her, it was just the beginning. She had been given a second chance. Reborn as a Goddess in the very own world that she created, it was now only up to her to write her own story.

Three hundred years ago multiple meteors broke into earth’s atmosphere and landed in various places. The meteors change the world. By releasing strange substances into the earth, air, and water the planet started to change. It was not until ten years later that the first batch of superhumans was born. They had abilities that could not be explained. Superspeed. Superstrength. Magic. The superhumans showed the world that all of it was possible. They called the abilities EXO and the people who wielded such an ability, EXO users.... more>>

They quickly found out that not every EXO was the same. One EXO user had one EXO ability and what that ability was could be categorized into one of three types. Offensive, Defensive or Support.

The government was the first to act after five years. Every EXO user must be subjected to whole new laws and they must get their abilities under control. Specialized schools were built all across the world that were made to train them. Under the pretense of saying it was to develop their abilities, the government was actually building an army. Humans were not the only ones to change… <<less

Sophie liked to think of herself as a tough sort of woman, a survivor. As an average person, she survived hell on earth and returned to tell the tale. Give or take.... more>>

In a tragic freak accident, she and the survivors of two plane crashes were trapped on a strange uninhabited island. It took 8 years for help to locate them.

Of the original 288 missing passengers and crew, only 22 people remained. The world went wild, everyone wanted to know what happened. What went on there?

In a true Lord of the Flies fashion, it was humanity at its worst. It was hell on earth, a miniature apocalypse in the middle of the ocean.

Sure Sophie had survived, but even after years of intensive therapy, she isn't always happy about it. Those who murdered her brother were now rich, those who raped and left her baby sister to die were famous. The kings of that hell island, monsters wearing human skin, had all sold their stories and were now living the good life after. Try as she might move on, hell has followed her home.

Till she wakes up 13 years back in the past that is. Less than 1 day before her scheduled flight to hell.

Crystal Rose, A fox Faunus with silver hair and fur, but instead of having one tail, she has two. She was given away by whoever her parents are so that she could be experimented on and that was her life for the better length of her childhood. She can't even feel pain anymore, that's how much she has been damaged.... more>>

Now after she has gotten out of that hellish place with the help of her Semblance, her life should get easier, right? Utterly false, no matter how much she wants to be left alone, how much she wants to be free, her 'captors' just don't allow her that privilege by trying to hunt her down and effectively turning her into a self-defending torturing murder machine.

Why a self-defending one? Because she doesn't kill or attack people on her own accord, she only does it if and when she gets attacked. So for years she has been fighting and fighting so she could feel some of the freedom that she wants.

There Is only one person that she owes payback, a person who is the bane of her existence. She vowed to herself that he will be the only person she'll ever kill without any self-defense, she'll go for the kill, but not before making them pay for the life she's been living.

But because she was locked away for most of her life, she is out of touch with the 'common' and the 'standard' that other people are used to, so because of that, she's been ostracized even more, not to mention that her being a Faunus, already has given her more hate than she deserves.

The only shining beacons in her life are her adoptive moms, her girlfriend, and her Wife, it helps her a lot, knowing that she at least has somebody.

But... as there's darkness and light in every corner of the world, she has her own darkness, in a form of ???

*Author's Note*

I have mostly written this in-between calls at the station and I draw a lot of inspiration from how crazy the job can get sometimes. MC is as close as I could get him to some of the toughest, smoke-diving, no no-nonsense people on the planet. (I work with some real badasses and I have always wanted to explore what would happen if we threw one of them into another world.)
I have had a ton of fun writing this, thanks for giving this one a chance.
