I) All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

II) The Old Realms saga is only published on Scribble Hub and RR for free. It is in the author's plans to publish it on Amazon and other platforms at some point. If you see it offered anywhere else, or someone tries to charge you for it, please report him. It is illegal to sell, or take advantage of intellectual work  without the author's permission. <<less

Our world is marked by complex challenges and remarkable technological progress. Scientific advancements have revolutionized fields like medicine, energy, and transportation, while global issues such as climate change, inequality, and political instability continue to test our resilience.... more>>

However, everything changed when an enigmatic portal materialized above the North Atlantic, unveiling a realm referred to as "The Special Region." or as researchers jokingly call it a fantasy world. This unprecedented discovery ignited the curiosity of nations worldwide, capturing the United Nations' keen interest.

With fresh motivations, the UN embarked on a bold mission: to dispatch an exploratory team into this uncharted territory. Their objective? To unravel the mysteries of the Special Region and comprehend its potential repercussions on our world. This revelation stirred a potent mix of enthusiasm and apprehension, as humanity grappled with the profound implications of this newfound frontier and its implications for our shared future.

Accompanied by a cadre of intrepid researchers and aided by two cutting-edge vessels, the Flying Dutchman and the Queen Anne's Revenge, Commander Decken pledged to safeguard his crew, even if it meant sailing into the unknown until the end of days. This is a tale of exploration, discovery, and the unyielding spirit of human endeavor, devoid of any science-fiction elements. <<less

Eager to get off earth, the emotionally-distant Violet uses her savings to buy a ticket aboard a colony ship headed out of the Orion Spur. The last place she expected to wake up after entering her cryosleep pod was a hospital bed in a solar system populated by demon girls.... more>>

Her body now heavily augmented to stave off centuries of cryosleep deterioration, Violet is given an address in her phone and thrust out into a new world which is both alien and familiar in ways she never could have imagined. If there's one thing Violet has experience with, it's how to roll with life's punches - but she soon realizes this place won't let her get away with that for long. <<less

Childhood Best friends Itsuki and Hotaru accidentally finds themselves trapped in another world where pirates dominate the open seas!!

Steven Bale, a detestable janitor, is fired from his job for something heinous. ... more>>

Now unemployed and in need of a new job, he decides to drink his troubles away. However, his life is cut short when those close to the victims come back for revenge.

When he wakes up, he expects himself to be in Hell, but he is instead met face to face with an angel. An angel that gives him an opportunity to start over in a brand-new world! <<less

It is a world nearly controlled by the necromancer, Grymr, who extends his power over the remaining kingdoms. The cruel butchery of his undead Gravers and the trapped spirits of his unfortunate victims give the necromancer an advantage as he sends his forces against the last bastions of the old world.
The last fortress island of Charax remains independent of the necromancer. However, the decrepit kingdom holds the Nalith, a sacred object sought by Grymr and the ultimate goal of his control. Unfortunately for those inside the fortress, like the society inside, the walls are just a crumbling symbol of a grand past. Strict social and economic stratification bring misery among most of the population.... more>> However, it allows the Chara clan to control the island using the help of pirates who dominate the waters.
Like many trapped in the decaying society that waits for the necromancer to overwhelm the island, Hilko hates everything about his world. He is a nobody with only a single friend who doesn’t know of Hilko’s ability to see and talk with ghosts. When the quick-witted smuggler takes a job with the encouragement of his female friend, Silna, they steal a royal artifact called the Nalith. However, he soon learns that the object holds a power that gathers spirits and can help one foresee the future.
In a forced journey of escape and discovery, the smuggler fatefully decides on a path for him. Can Hilko use the power of the Nalith to escape his fate or change his world?

I must have gone just a little bit too hard last night, because I woke up in the hold of a pirate ship. My mouth tastes like shit, words are crawling across my vision telling me to do things, and I have to join a pirate crew or die. I like to look at the bright side of things: hot girls, magic powers, and a HuD that promises rewards if I play along.
I could complain, but hey, at least I’m a magic pirate now. ... more>>

Based very heavily off of the Skulls and Shackles adventure path for Paizo’s Pathfinder system, this rags to riches pirate story will have elements of mind control, sexual content, and a main character that’s always looking out for number one without being actively cruel. <<less

The professional summoned hero, Quasi Eludo, has just recently returned from his 29th summon to a major legal and financial problem. To top it all... more>> off, Earth has been chosen as one of the source worlds for the God Games candidates. <<less

Captain Jack started as a crewmember, but with his hard-earned money, he ascended to the rank of captain in pursuit of the legendary treasure his father had spoken of. After exploring countless islands, he eventually discovers it. Yet, to his surprise, the island is not inhabited by humans, but by mysterious creatures.... more>>

This is the gripping saga of a pirate who acquires extraordinary powers, transforming from an anonymous buccaneer into a formidable pirate lord. He engages in epic battles against mythical creatures, confronts fellow power wielders, and embarks on a journey through diverse and mysterious lands. <<less

Arabella, the infamous rogue succubus, is held captive on Chestnut Island until a certain fallen angel rescues her.

This is the sequel of Futanari and Succubus (or Chio and the Succubus, as it's called here). I plan to release a new chapter about every 10th day. Enjoy! <<less

Yesterday, Vayra had nothing. Now, she’s sharing a soul with an Immortal. ... more>>

As a street urchin, she had nothing but dreams—until she was chosen to fight in a war of Gods. She’s the Mediator, a mortal avatar whose spirit can host a God, allowing her to practice a forgotten form of cultivation.

The problem is, she knows nothing. Worse, the Goddess bound to her soul is the weakest of the pantheon, not to mention clumsy and forgetful.

Vayra’s duty as Mediator is to defeat the tyrannical God of the Sea and restore balance to the universe. But first, she must venture across the high seas and to different worlds to save her little brother from a deadly poison.

She must train, earn, and fight for every inch of progress she makes. If she can’t master her power in time, she will lose her brother forever—if she isn't killed by the servants of an angry God first.

A cultivation flintlock fantasy set during the age of sail, where life-energy is absorbed from magic waters, where black powder dominates warfare, and where pirates rule the oceans.

~~~

What to Expect:

- Cultivation in a flintlock fantasy world. It’s not in your typical xianxia setting. This world is meant to have a western, seafaring fantasy feel, despite using a cultivation system.
- Weak to strong progression. A reasonably-flawed lead with immense potential for growth—when the growth is earned.
- An adventure. Characters have goals and destinations that often lead them far from home in the search for power.
- A bit of grit. Characters aren’t invincible and injuries are inevitable.
- Worldbuilding and slice-of-life. Characters won’t always be gaining new abilities and power each chapter.
- 1800-2500 word chapters.

~~~

In an era of gunpowder, cannons, and conflict on a scale never before seen, do immortals and magic still have a place? With the world against her, can Vayra turn the tides in her favour? Can she…even survive?

~~~

Story Milestones (And Rewards):

- 500 followers or 2 reviews: "Art" gallery—I'll make an extra chapter dedicated to posting any extra images in, hopefully for most of the characters.
- 750 followers or 4 reviews: I'll post "Extras" chapters, for lore tidbits and character sheets
- 1000 followers or 6 reviews: I'll make a map for the series
- 1500 followers: I'll commission extra character art to go in the interior of the book when it goes to KU (a while off, still)—but it will be shown for everyone to see, of course.

This is a re-edit and rewrite of a previous story. <<less

Chosen to transmigrate as Luffy (OC) for the first episode of the work with wishes OP.
I always wondered how Luffy's adventure would be with the most powerful and serious character, so I created this story.
The story may start off nonsensical, but I wanted to incorporate these aspects from the beginning:... more>>

Luffy Fruit: Moa Moa no mi, and Eikon Eikon No mi: Chaos Ifrit!
Powerful body with your zoan from the start.
Yamato, Shirahoshi, Kuina, and Trafalgar Lami from the beginning with Luffy!
There will be a harem.
This is an Alternate Universe (AU) with OC, so there will be some changes, such as OC -> Luffy, Law -> Lami, and Luffy (Original MC) -> Lucy. (#Genderbend)

Got it! If there are elements of Final Fantasy 16 and the addition of Eikon as mythical Zoans, I'll keep that in mind, including the possibility of colossal battles.

Valerie, a woman who was once associated with the Celestial Dragons as a child, is now a regular human who aims to make a positive impact within a world where the rich can buy people as though they were pieces of commodity and anyone foolish enough to oppose the status quo was eliminated without a second thought.... more>>

This is the adventure of a woman, whom many within the harsh seas of the One Piece world would despise her for her origins, overcoming the challenges thrown her way while making both friends and enemies, and maybe even falling in love with some of the women that she meets along her path to making the world a better place.
*********************************************************************************************** Disclaimers:
-Right now, this fanfic does not have a regular update schedule. So the time it may take me in order to update the next chapter will not be consistent.
-I think I have a good grasp on the English language. However, I can not guarantee that I will not make grammatical mistakes. And for this reason, I would like to ask those of you who read this fanfic to point out the grammatical errors that I am sure I will make as I write this story.
-I do not own any of the characters from the canon material of the One Piece manga/anime. They belong to Oda, Shueisha and Toei Animation. I only own the original characters that I create for this fanfic.
-This is my first time publishing a literary work, so I would really appreciate it if anyone who reads this fanfic to share their opinions on any of the aspects of the fanfic that you feel would help make the story interesting.
-The main character will be involved in a polyamorous relationship with women.
-More tags will be added as the story progresses. <<less

I don’t own anything from One Piece, I am just a fan who has followed the story for a long time…... more>>

What happens when a person dies and loses part of his memories. Only to wake up one day in the world of One Piece? They do what any sane person would do… Train to become strong and set out on an adventure!

What to expect from this story… Faster pacing than my other story… I hope. Trying to stay true to how fun One Piece is to read, while completely destroying the original story line. I hope you like where this story goes because I have a lot of ideas on where I want to take it.

You will get one or more chapters a week, once I have set up a proper backlog of unedited chapters. <<less

In other Fanfics- Isekaied into the world of pirates, some got a cheat OP system, and others got OP devil fruits.... more>>

But what is our MC's cheat?

A paralyzed face without any expression, a pair of scary sharp eyes, and a heart that beats wildly when nervous!

But it seems that he also has good luck. Every time he encounters danger, he escapes unscathed, which is fascinating!

Some call him the strongest pirate others call him the messenger of death.

MC: "Stop hyping me up! I haven't even killed a mosquito in my life!"
_______
Short description- A story full of comedy and nonsense, where the MC's powers are identical to that of King's (One Punch Man) with a plot armor showoff system that grants him powers that are only useful for the show, rather than actual action. These powers are essentially just for bluffs.
If you don't like this kind of story then please don't read.
