Reborn as the Dark Lord... Born to make friends.... more>>

After living 50 years as a human scientist, being reborn as a fire-wielding harpy is a bit of a shock. Not to mention, Fyre now has the physiology one might expect from someone with two X chromosomes—along with that of a bird. However she's much more concerned about the Role that's appeared at the bottom of her game-like stats sheet: The Dark Lord.

That's probably fine... Right?

Stuck in a freezing cave, Fyre forms a pact with a ravenous and morally ambiguous Dungeon Core, which helps tunnel a path to civilization. Though she now has some semblance of shelter, the community she joins is barely scraping by itself. But with the power of her fire—and science!—she believes she can help build a thriving metropolis.

There's just one hang up: These people were forsaken by the gods for the very power Fyre now wields. She can't abandon the lives of the people who have come to rely on her. But reviving the lost civilization might mean incurring the wrath of the heavens—and embracing her role of The Dark Lord.

What to expect:

- A trans MC (there's the genderbender tag for a reason!)
- Cozy kingdom building
- A unique take on Dungeon Cores
- Magic approached from a scientific perspective
- Girl Love (BUT it's a very slow burn! Like, only expect the smallest flickers of feelings to start developing in the first 50 chapters!)

What if you found yourself reborn as a planet? What if that world was a prehistoric planet filled with dinosaurs? Dealing with a new cultivation system, progressing technology from the stone age to interstellar travel, let’s see what Max can accomplish.... more>>

Max was a biology student on the brink of completing his PhD after years of research.

Little did he know his life would drastically change. Max was fascinated by Earth, nature and its history in general.

His hobby was collecting old interesting things, and while going through an antique shop, he found an ancient-looking amulet with strange characters.

Despite his interest, the shop owner did not acknowledge the amulet's peculiarities and sold it to him for dirt cheap.

Wrapping the amulet around his neck, Max was on his way home before a run-in with a thug ended up in his untimely death.

Yet, as he bled out on the floor, the strange amulet began pulsing on his chest before he was whisked away, and he found his consciousness stretching over a strange planet that resembled the accounts of the Mesozoic Era in Earths history.

The strange amulet housed a self-proclaimed, one who informed him that he has become a World Spirit, the consciousness of the very world itself.

Finding himself as the consciousness of the world, he now inhabited it, but there was more to it than that; it turned out he was a world cultivator in a land of mythical beings.

He must continuously progress his cultivation to further the limits of his world and push the boundaries of its development to prepare himself to face things that can even threaten the globe as a whole.

It turned out that things such as natural disasters were the least of his worries; a large asteroid hitting his world ranked among the lowest threats, with other worlds using each other as cultivation resources in wars between realms that strips planets of their resources turning them into barren planets.

However, that was not even the worst of it, with existences known as World Eaters it turned out that even planets have natural predators, and Max must do everything he can to survive. <<less

Reincarnated as a Wood Elf named Sylvie, she quickly found that Elves may not be the peaceful beings they are often portrayed as. Valued for her talents by High Elves, she finds herself conscripted to fight their wars. In a world with fanatical creatures, terrible dangers, and treacherous dungeons, the peaceful life Sylvie imagines quickly unravels. Though Sylvie quickly teaches her foes a lesson: Messing with a powerful Druid is unwise. <<less

Dago. A cynical descendant of wicked wizards with an insatiable appetite for women, power, and gold.

Hera. An empathetic healer whose impeccable reputation the reformed villain would like to borrow.

Upon hearing that a marriage could help him get a promotion to a government position, Dago doesn’t feel like laughing. But when a marriage candidate arrives at his flying castle and asks for help in breaking a curse, his draconic instinct tells him that her ability to change sugar into gold might be worth more than all his businesses combined. It doesn’t matter that the phoenix witch’s fiery gaze easily sees through his greed. What counts is that she is desperate enough to consider making a pact regardless.

Dago silences the whisper of remorse and from the icy depths of his soul, he summons his personal charm. But there is one thing he forgets to take into account.

He might not be the only one who knows how to intrigue.

Enya was an ordinary student until she found herself stranded in an alternate world with mystical powers, filled with magical wonders and realms.... more>>

In this new world, she was the Queen of a small Kingdom about to be ransacked by bandits.

The Former Queen, ordinary in every way apart from her title, felt helpless in her predicament—that was until she closed her eyes and found she had brought something from Earth with her.

‘Magical Beast Online’ was a game Enya was absolutely obsessed with. In this game of bloodlines and beasts, you grow your character until you resemble a Mythical Creature. Starting from the lowest point, Enya strived to grow to the peak of the game, to achieve something she never could in the game, to grow from a weak bird to a Phoenix!

As Enya grows, so does her Kingdom; eventually, she will become known as the Phoenix Queen. <<less

In a dual world, our reality intersects with another dimension inhabited by monsters and supernatural events. The Earth has been divided into two interconnected realms following an invasion by creatures from this other dimension, leading to the appearance of portals allowing these beings to cross over. As the inhabitants of Earth struggle to adapt to this chaos, a stark contrast emerges between the "Awakened"—those who have gained supernatural abilities after this merging—and ordinary humans who live under their shadow.... more>>

Ryo, a student at the Academy for the Awakened, aspires to gain special powers to protect his family and face the challenges ahead. He is adopted by a loving family and feels isolated at the academy where he remains unawakened. He suffers from bullying due to his background and faces conflicts with arrogant peers like Kazuya, who flaunts his power over the weaker.

In a world filled with social conflicts, class disparity, and discrimination against beings from the other dimension, Ryo navigates the challenges of being caught between humanity and the Awakened. He fights for justice for his family, for his world, and for those who suffer from discrimination. While dealing with academy issues, Ryo also discovers that greater forces are working behind the scenes to destroy the remaining balance between the worlds.

As threats and divisions escalate, Ryo faces a significant test of his abilities and decisions, striving to protect his loved ones and confront enemies intent on undermining everything he stands for. <<less

Your answers are in the heart of the labyrinth…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Parents missing.... more>>

A deadbeat uncle.

A city designed to keep the low-born down.

These are the smallest of the daily challenges for Telgar Uthden. He has one goal: to get into the Elysium Academy to train and stand shoulder to shoulder with the best delvers of the Varistok Labyrinth, a sprawling nexus of dangers and a source of vast power and wealth, just below the crown city. All he needs is a summon to qualify for the academy.

But the summon he finds through a string of events is one of the most dangerous, prideful, and loud denizens of the entire labyrinth. Even worse, their summoning bond is busted, and now they must work together to survive the academy’s lessons, adversarial students who love to pick on a lowborn, and the labyrinth itself.

Telgar’s only saving grace is that he’s a freelance summoner, able to bond with more than one summon and utilize their powers in combinations that might give him the edge he needs. Too bad the only reward of survival is his 7 am lesson the next day…

What to expect:
+ A mage academy litRPG story with 80-90% from Telgar’s POV.
+ Weak to strong MC, and his allies grow in strength beside him. He’s generally good-natured but won’t mind throwing an underhanded dose of justice against adversaries.
+ Slice of life, school setting, and plenty of coming-of-age drama.
+ Dangers won’t be present every five seconds, but they are there. <<less

Elion Hayes never planned on being hunted.... more>>

He was just a university student scraping by, no real direction, no grand purpose—until a night out turned into a waking nightmare. Because apparently, were-beasts or beast-men are real, they’re everywhere, and they don’t appreciate humans getting in their way.

Now, Elion is on the run with a 'cowboy' from another world (yes, really), a best friend who’s way too excited about all of this, and a growing list of reasons to regret every life choice that led him here.

At the center of it all? The Beast Rings—ancient artifacts infused with the power of monsters. Some grant strength beyond human limits. Others corrupt, turning their wielders into nightmares. And the Lord, the shadowy figure pulling the strings, plans to unleash thousands of them across the world.

Elion isn’t a warrior. He doesn’t have some legendary bloodline or divine blessing. He’s just learned about Mana Gates and barely unlocked the first three of the 118 Mana Gates that allow someone to tap into their true power and to control the Beast Rings.

Before he could gain any real progress, the Lord’s most elite enforcers—the Zodiacs—and all kinds of beast-men are already closing in.

The mission? Retrieve the corrupted Beast Rings before they fall into the wrong hands. Defy the Lord’s plan before the world is overrun. Survive long enough to figure out why, out of everyone, he’s been thrown into the middle of this.

He and Jordan may not have been prepared for any of this, but their new ally, Ronan, isn’t giving them a choice. If they don’t fight back? The world as they know it is done.

What to Expect:
[+] Weak-to-Strong Protagonist – Elion starts at zero, but survival means learning fast.
[+] Shapeshifters & Monster Battles – Think were-beasts, but worse.
[+] Clear Progression – Unlockable powers, evolving abilities, and high stakes.
[+] A Race Against Time – The Beast Rings are spreading, and humanity is not ready.
[+] Ancient Powers & Forbidden Arts – 118 Mana Gates to unlock, each one unlocking something deeper.
[+] Humor Meets High-Octane Action – Snark, survival, and a world that doesn’t play fair.
[+] Massive World-Building & Hidden Secrets – The Beast Rings didn’t start in this world… and neither did the war.

The first mistake? Getting involved.

The second? Thinking he has a choice. <<less

“You can all suck my dick!” a little girl with red hair shouted, her chest puffed out in pride.... more>>

“What did I say about using such a language!?” her father raised his voice to the sigh of relief of the emperor and the other guests.

“Ah! Sorry Dad! Ahem, let me correct myself” The little girl cleared her throat before ‘correcting’ herself, “Because I am missing such a tool, you may all suck dad’s phallus apparatus and savor it to have the chance to experience having class in your mouths for the first in your miserable greedy lives… with due respect, of course.”

“Better.” praised the dad as the pair raised their middle fingers before stepping out of the ball room.

Ashten decided to adopt a child after a friend told him he wouldn’t be able to raise a kid because of his — being himself.

In a world once dominated by beasts of unimaginable power, humanity clung to survival with the fragile shield of magic. These creatures—swift as storms, strong as mountains, and capable of wielding the very elements—were gods of the land, while humans were little more than prey. For centuries, mankind fought valiantly but always at a loss. Then came the day everything changed.... more>>

He was known only as the First Crafter. A mysterious sorcerer, both revered and feared, who unearthed an ancient, forbidden art not of this world: the Beast Slaying Art. From it, he learned to extract the heartstones of fallen beasts—the very source of their might—and forge them into rings that could grant their power to men. With the first Beast Ring, created from the heartstone of a Swiftfang Wolf, the First Crafter became more than human. He moved faster than the wind, struck with deadly precision, and for the first time, man stood equal to beast.

But power breeds ambition. The secrets of the Beast Rings did not remain his alone for long. Kingdoms, empires, and rival sorcerers, driven by greed and fear, hunted the First Crafter, tearing his knowledge from him and spreading it across the world. Humanity gained a weapon of unparalleled potential, and with it, the balance between man and beast was shattered forever.

Now, Beast Rings are both a blessing and a curse. Wielded by Slayers, they are tools of war, ambition, and survival. The beasts that once ruled are hunted, their numbers dwindling, while humanity fractures into kingdoms vying for dominance. But as old powers awaken and chaos grows, whispers speak of a coming reckoning—one that could unmake the world as easily as the First Crafter’s creation once reshaped it.

Amid this storm of ambition and blood, fifteen-year-old Kairon Falken lives a peaceful life in the quiet village of Tenang, unaware of the truth surrounding his origins. Raised by his strict yet loving Aunt Myra and ever-cheerful Uncle Garin, Kairon dreams of adventure, of exploring the mountains and forests beyond his sheltered home.

But secrets have a way of surfacing, and Kairon is about to be thrust into a legacy he cannot yet comprehend. In a world where Beast Rings hold the power to change fate itself, Kairon must face the ultimate question: Will he rise as a savior, or will he become the harbinger of destruction for both beast and man? <<less

This is a Fanfic of Harry Potter and HP: The Lost Son
I was inspired to write this after reading The Lost Son fanfic but was frustrated when it went on hiatus. This is my own take on the story with plans to go well in the future. If the author reads this, shoot me a message, I'd love to collaborate!
You can look forward to seeing some familiar favorites with a few OCs and, while the first few arcs will be mainly focused on Hogwarts, after graduation things take a drastic turn from the original.

Links to a photo album will be added later to help you see the characters and settings mentioned in the story. A link to a playlist will be posted that you can listen to as you read to help you really immerse yourself in the story.

PLEASE READ:
This story is a harem smut story but I'll try and do it in a way that lewd scenes can be easiliy skipped for those not interested. Lewds will come a bit later but Plot > Smut. Once they start, I'll have quite a few of them and they'll be descriptive. Romance between 2nd cousins (Nymphadora) so take that as you will.

Lastly, I plan to post a few chapters a week, no specific schedule due to work and obligations, but so long as my readers give me constructive feedback, I will keep posting my writing. <<less

After saving the world from destruction, a celebrated figure, a living legend in the people's eyes, decided it was his right to rule the world with an iron fist. Elian had to realize it would be his quest to stop him... The question was, will he be able to do it? Or will he be just the next Hero in line, waiting to be defeated?

--- Author's notes:

Hey-ho! I am happy you clicked on my story and are considering checking it out! For my returning readers, welcome back! Here are some quick notes on what you need to know about this story if you need a bit more information than a traditional synopsis:

- I decided to make this part of my Cosmos series, but it only has vague, faint inklings, as I do not plan to include cameos or direct references here. This is just another realm, somewhere in the vast cosmos.
- The chapters in this book are 3/4 of the length of my usual chapters. This choice was made consciously, as it helps me write it consistently in tandem with the other books. Also, this story is going to be shorter than the others.
- Expect a story about a classic Good vs Evil scenario. I just wanted to write a fun hero's journey story for a change of pace. Of course, this does not mean I will shove 2D characters into it, but the motivations are more straightforward than my usual settings. Someone is here to dominate, and someone is here to stop that from happening.
- Also, this story was the very first I wrote back in high school, many years ago. I still have it printed out. When I found it, I decided to rework it because now I can do so much more with the core idea. So, while this is new, it is a story I have already told as a teenager, so I have a clear plot laid out before me that I am simply expanding with my now improved skillset.
