We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course.... more>>

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory.

Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order.

It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time.

When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life.

Serenity.

------------------------------------------

While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges.

The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has.

Of course, that's only his second priority.

A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way.

The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured.

The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery. <<less

Two worlds, deeply entwined together spin through the endless void... one, slowly dying; the other vibrant and fairly sparking with life and energy. One steeped in the forgotten magics of ages past; the other locked in an endless struggle for mundane survival.... more>>

The Slayer and The Vixen. The world's greatest monster hunter and bounty hunter, respectively. Through their combined efforts, the world has been able to enjoy an era of peace for nearly a decade since the end of The Drazah War. But when their identities and the source of their power is revealed, all of their admiration turns to terror and they're deplored as the worst Fiends alive. Wanting nothing more than to service the world they feel responsible for, the pair must find new ways to help those who fear them. These Fiends are For Hire.... more>>

Fiends For Hire is a Modern Fantasy that is a blend of Action and Slice-of-Life with Anti-Hero leads. The series is currently over 3,500 pages long.

What to expect:

-A lot of Slice-of-Life. This series could be also be known as 'The Daily Lives of Anti-Heroes.' There is still a lot of Action, Comedy, World-Building, and Conflict, but Slice-of-Life is the main focus.

-A slow burn main plot. Not every chapter may seem like it's building towards the ultimate end, and some are just for fun. But virtually every chapter has new lore, world-building, character development, and/or subtle clues hinting at the mysteries of the series.

-Overpowered and Eccentric Characters with a lot of unique abilities. As the series progresses, OP vs OP fights and conflict become more common.

-Some very wholesome and some very dark moments. They are Anti-Heroes after all, so you get the good and the bad.

This series is NOT:
-Progression Fantasy -LitRPG -Cultivation -Isekai -Harem

The Cataclysm. ... more>>

The end of the world.

When one wakes up in a world destroyed with rot and overtaken by the undead, survival should be one's number 1 priority.

However survival is no longer an option.

As he awakens one day, Marcus finds that he is no longer alone in this world.

Ever.

[It is only through experiencing death and destruction... that you will truly know the meaning of suffering.]

[And the demented nature of humanity.]

[And what better place to experience such things... than in a world which has been ruined?]

This is the story of a man and a monster.

[Man and monster... are they not one and the same?]

This is the story of Number 7. <<less

It's been a couple of months since the incident at the Brimstone Institute of Demonics, where a dreaded Devil held the school's populace hostage and forced one of its staff to fight him, one-on-one. Though much time has passed since Cobalt Trayer ripped Diate's head clean from his shoulders, he remains haunted by the sanguine memories of that day, and finds himself struggling more and more with the infernal pain deep in his stomach.

As stress begins to pile up, between his students' upcoming final exams and his own personal struggles, Cobalt finds himself suddenly becoming the victim of his own reputation as he is sought out and tracked down by forces unseen.

The afflictions of an Incubus carry many ramifications, and he will be judged for them. <<less

I started posting this on AO3, and that will probably remain my priority, but formatting options are somewhat limited over there, so I wanted to see if this place would offer more in terms of letting me make the story to look as I want it to.

The text is somewhat updated over the original edition, but it isn't quite a v2.0. More a v1.1.

I am really not familiar with how this site works, so I don't know if I've handled the tags and everything correctly.
Real life issues have interfered with things on the writing/posting front, but I hope to still be able to post once or twice a week. Hopefully things will pick back up eventually. <<less

When your heritage as a dragon is the least of the secrets kept from you, danger and adventure are close at hand.... more>>

Drenar and his best friend Julia found a magical creature bestiary that revealed a startling truth: they're Awakening into their draconic forms, and their latent powers tied to it are slowly kicking in. While grappling with this revelation, a mage insurrectionist organization responsible for their changes rears its head, tries to coerce them to help them tear down the current mage government, and threatens both worlds of consequence.

Those rebels made a BIG mistake, threatening a bunch of teenage dragons who don't want their world to fall to pieces. They band together, along with others they find along the way and forge their own path to defend the world against the rising evil of the Talons and their leaders. Foes that include the deadly and enigmatic CEO Valosterla, a maniacal dragoness who sings as she slaughters her enemies.

Prepare for a journey of daring heroes fighting for what's right, while they shine a light to guide the way...Witness the rise of the Luminaires!

What to expect: A coming-of-age fantasy story of daring heroes fighting to save the world. The characters are the heart of the story, from dragons, to Kitsune, and more.

Rating warning: PG-13. There's some language, violence, and some content that might not be for everyone (trauma, grief, and others do get touched on). Heavy chapters will be noted, so there will be fair warning.

Filian has a lifelong friend. Nothing weird, just a best friend she's known all her life-- though Rosa is everything BUT normal.

And then suddenly a local duke waltzes in and claims her as his illegitimate daughter, and Rosa doesn't even bat an eyelash. Then she's enrolled into the Academy, and she's suddenly all jittery and afraid. Then she starts talking about probabilities? Plans? Routes? Secret targets?

Filian the commoner is as lost as she could ever be, and it's not going to get better anytime soon. Oh boy.

This is the story of a man who woke up one day and realised that he became a ship. A broken ship that's stranded in space with a skeleton as a captain, but nevertheless a ship!

Now, S.A.S. Abyssal (Self Aware Ship Abyssal) roamed space freely, wanting to find her purpose in this endless void. Along the way, she upgraded herself, found other Living Cores such as herself, got herself a maid, got into a dogfight, went space mining, upgraded herself further, steered through a minefield, encountered a supernova and even found genetically engineered catgirls!

Also, it turned out that there was some sort of crazed bounty hunter out for her blood! But wait there was more! She also somehow got herself involved in an intergalactic space war!
