“I was born with an extremely prestigious but combat-weak logistics class. As the son of the clan head and the next heir, that just wasn’t enough of an excuse to spare me from my father’s grueling training.

For in his creed the only strength that mattered was that grasped in one’s own two hands.

In my journey through the lands with my harem, I was grateful for his training as it saved my life multiple times when my girls weren’t there to engage in combat.

This is my story.”

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Veleina had been banished to the New World, a newly discovered continent across the ocean. However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever and ‘something’ even tried possessing her body to be reincarnated as her but Vileina is having none of it.... more>>

She is Velestina von Novaldein, and nothing will stand on her way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

This is the rise of the Villainess. <<less

This is a story I’ve started writing recently so I thought, why not post it here, right?... more>>

It’s about a boy who gets transported to a fantasy world with his friend (Super Original). But I just want to address that I’m not thinking about making a harem, falling into a dungeon or an op mc (at least not unreasonably op) story. I’m trying to be a bit different so this isn’t the only thing to the story. I already have an ending in mind but don’t be afraid to point out mistakes and give me tips about how the story should proceed. If I like your idea I might take it into the story.

It will be pretty gore and dark. But not in an overwhelming way. But more like not being afraid to depict violence. I’m not going to make a slice of life.

I’ll come out with a better description when I know what will happen xD <<less

Born a fatherless bastard and with an impoverished, ravaged Province to Govern, Nox ZaiWin has more than enough on his plate.

And so yeah, the last thing he wanted was to become some Celestial's Chosen One.

And is that even a Celestial? Hasn't the brat just murdered more than one-hundred of his men with a single scream? Aren't Celestials supposed to be holy, pure beings, that abhor all forms of death and killing?

No other choice! No matter how sinful it may be, the brat must die!

Snow has lived most of his life locked in a dark room, explored and sold for his miraculous blood. There are a lot of things he does not understand about the outside world. But one thing is certain. He does not want to have anything to do with some scary dark monster. He wants to be free! And he’ll do whatever it takes to reach his goal.

And yet … Shit! Aren’t they stuck together now? Their life-lines intertwined?

Wait! If the dark monster wants him dead, that’s easy enough to solve. All he has to do is to successfully kill him first!

Goblins goblins goblins... I hate those pesky creatures. Not smart enough to talk, but intelligent enough to kill.

Well.

In this world of madness where blood spills left and right fantasy creatures run rampart alongside crazed devotes of long dead gods all meanwhile the frickin Demon Lord is slowly gaining power in order to take over the world precisely without causing its immediate collapse, our little Gob will have quite a chance to find true strength and maybe even understand why humans often do stupid things for this weird word that starts with the letter "L".

Who knows, maybe he will even get a better name than Gob in the process...

A world parallel to our own; a deceivingly average man; a kingdom of corrupt lords and demons. Given a second chance at life, a man reborn and renamed as Ren awakens to find himself lost and alone in this new world, called by those who reside there Valentia. But a chance meeting with a beautiful vampire noblewoman and some strange ideas carried over from his home may throw what little balance this world has into a spin. As the kingdom begins to show its cracks, Ren, the noblewoman, her sister, and many others push forward to either find a path to glory - or to be consumed by the ensuing darkness.... more>>

Will Ren be able to find a new home among these new people? Or will he fall through its many cracks? This is a tale of love, war, hope, and revolution.

It's not that Darren Laneth is different, just that he... thinks differently than other people. Because they are just that, other people. Two different groups, a level of mental separation. And yet, because of a little separation, he doesn't know what to do with his life.

...

What constitutes as 'human'?

Is it how we act? How society views us? The very makeup of our bodies? This is not what he sees. What he sees is a question, a question that he's been searching the answer to his entire life, elusive and yet all around him. It is what defines a human, what they always strive for, no matter the situation. When given the ability to search for the answer, the only thing left is to take it. The story of Darren, who loses the thing that matters the most to him and searches ever harder to the answer.

Tell me,

What is happiness?

Hey, tried something new for this competition! Wanted a less fleshed out beginning and more understanding as you advanced. Thank you for the support, and I hope you enjoy! Also, putting in some tags, even though I might not use them. This story will have immoral things, so for those looking for a safe, filtered story don't search here. Also putting the harem tag, because I don't know, maybe? It's not completed, it's a WIP!

Our protagonist finds himself within a cotton fibre, one that was large enough to blanket the skies. His wife that was within arm’s reach a minute ago had now disappeared.

Embarking on a journey to reunite with his wife and one-year-old son, our protagonist arrives at the edge of a cliff. But, the landscape he presumed to be a cliff actually turned out to be the edge of his couch. He had shrunk to such an extent that his TV remote looked bigger than him.

Things that were taken for granted before now necessitated life and death struggles as our protagonist searches for his family while trying to survive the onslaught of various insects, each of which were now as huge as him.
