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

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

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.

Arwyn has just bought Fantasia, the first fantasy-based VRMMORPG, with 99% realism that you can play while you sleep. In the game, she becomes Fey, a moon elf starting in the magical Elvenwood.

Oh, and there's something strange about the NPCs in this game... See if you can figure it out before Fey does. (No, they are not self-aware AIs.)

[Chapters 1-27 of Fantasia have been edited and republished as an ebook/audiobook titled A Wild Fey Has Appeared! Fantasia volume 1 and will be available on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited and Audible June 6. The chapters unfortunately have to be taken down from other sources but ongoing chapters will continue to be available for free online.]

When his sister had won an additional Dive Gear in a lottery, after already buying one in the mall along with a game, Yoruto decided to sell the one they'd won since he's not into all of that since junior high.
However, his sister wanted otherwise and begged him to keep it so that he could play a recently released VRMMORPG game, Umbra Frontier Online, with her.... more>>

Unable to refuse his little sister's plead, Yoruto gave in and went along with his sister's request; jumping into the world of Umbra Frontier Online, or UFO for short, as a beautiful dark elf woman named "Yoru".

Why did he choose to make a female character, you may ask? Well, he didn't. He just pressed the Random button at the character creation screen and rolled with whatever he got out of it.

In a world where individuals possess extraordinary powers, Suijin Shimizu stands out with a rather unique mutation—his head is a spray bottle. ... more>>

Born into a society teeming with superhumans, one might assume that being a mutant is no big deal.

However, aspiring to become a hero when you're far from the conventional mold is an entirely different challenge.

Suijin Shimizu is determined to rise to the occasion and achieve the coveted position of being the number one hero.

One of the few who understands the true essence of Suijin's potential is his steadfast friend, Shoji.

Their deep bond is rooted in shared experiences and mutual support. Shoji, who himself grapples with the challenges of a unique quirk, recognizes the strength within Suijin's unconventional abilities.

Yet, the world outside their friendship can be unforgiving, casting judgment and doubt upon Suijin, labeling him as "inferior" in a society that values conventionality.

Step into the life of Suijin as he embarks on a remarkable journey, navigating the complexities of this super powered society.

Join him as he strives to fulfill his mission of becoming a hero against all odds. In a world where quirks define destinies, Shimizu's tale is a testament to the fiery young spirit and unending dreams! <<less

Join the crew of the Osiris. A team of misfit mercenaries who do whatever they can to survive on a podunk, backward planet in a bizarre galaxy where money, status and connections mean everything. Where a new crew member who only ever wanted to be a chef finds that A.I's are our friends, cybernetic enhancements are not always a good idea and shoes can most certainly be effective weapons. Read on as the Osiris crew become embroiled in seedy corporate business and a ruthless terrorist plot. <<less

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.

A young man from Earth is living his life as best as he could, though it seems boring. Despite his efforts, no rewards awaited him. Fed up with everything, he often found himself wasting time. His routine was monotonous: wake up, go to school, come back home, and indulge in whatever entertainment the internet offered until late into the night. After a few hours of sleep, the cycle would repeat.... more>>

This pattern continued until a fateful encounter. During his second year of college, on his way home, he came across an injured kitty on the roadside. He tried to assist, but it appeared to be too late for the little creature. Or so he believed.

In an unexpected twist, before he could act further, he was kidnapped. The abductor? A house. The kitty wasn't spared either, and both of them disappeared into the structure, never to be seen on Earth again.

Suddenly, the young man found himself in the ancient House of Magus. This wasn't a part of the material world; it seemed to exist either in the spiritual realm or somewhere in between.

Now, witness this young man's adventures as he encounters the beings that inhabit this house and its surroundings. As he tries to settle into his role as the housekeeper, he must also manage the myriad challenges thrown his way.

"Wait, what do you mean the kitty was the primary target? Am I just collateral damage?"

A journey filled with amusement, self-discovery, and a fair share of frustrations with his unconventional tenants begins.

Mostly stress-free story about daily life of Mc living in fantasy house with non-human tenants. There will be some action once in a while but it is not the main theme.
This is basically opposite of my other novel which is way more grim. In this there won't be probably even bloodshed.

*Readers can expect*

- Weak to very strong progression (with both cultivation and system growth elements)

- Complex, flawed characters who make mistakes and grow throughout the long story (often making hypotheses that are later disproven)

- A balance of action, worldbuilding, mystery, and eventually crafting (MC sucks at engineering, but loves it)

- Vast universe with conflict, threats, and world building.

- Many tropes, some subverted

Hah...

A dating simulator with the elements of levelling up, killing demons, and somehow even trading with aliens of the greater unknown. And for some psychopathic reason, the developers chose romance as the main focal point of the game.

However now that I’m here, how am I supposed to prevent love from ruining the world?

I swear it now-

Terry Barclay is a directionless young man. While a talented musician, he has no prospects for a career in his isolated, country town. Fortunately, an organization called Skyfleet is recruiting, an exploratory and peacekeeping armada of flying ships. One which is manned by humans and creatures alike.... more>>

After only two years of service, he will be able to join Skyfleet's Orchestra of Lights. Though before he can get there, his path will intercept the intrigue of the greater world and its colorful characters. These include a cantankerous dwarven scientist, a radicalized socialist princess, a rock golem dreaming of being a star chef, a snarky former pirate, a mysterious priest, and a friendly queen of a hive of giant insects who also have a love for music.

As a threat from over the horizon digs into the shadows, will Skyfleet and its new recruits be able to rise to the challenge? Or will the flying armada crash and burn, taking the republic it serves down with it? The future is always up for grabs... if it speaks in half-truths.
