Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them. ... more>>

With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City. 

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

A medical student died because of negligence of the authorities. Later, he is granted a second chance in life with some boons. But being an Otaku and Naruto fan, he chooses to live in the chaotic world of Naruto.
The story will follow canon for the initial part with a new plot. Major changes will reflect in the later part as our MC grows up. The story has strong AU elements and the power scaling is ramped up to explore various foreign elements in Naruto. Everything in its entirety will be a part of the Naruto series with details and speculations of my own.
This story is my original creation, and I post it on... more>> Scribble hub and Webnovel. You might find a few initial chapters on Royal Road.
Note:- The starting 40 chapters or so have poor grammar and various mistakes since I was a new writer back then and lacked experience. But I am working on editing them.

Warning:-I don't own Naruto or any related stuff except my MC and Original characters and jutsus. (Yep, there are lots and lots of original jutsus in the story.)

From the endless Primordial Chaos, three Gods were born.... more>>

They eventually grew bored of the emptiness and decided to fill it with stars and worlds inhabited by mortals, and they were pleased.

Giving some of those mortals the opportunity to ascend to Lesser Divinity by specializing into a particular concept, they entrusted to them the mission to keep creating more worlds, and more mortals.

And thus, was born the Great Game of Creation.

Lilith, Goddess of Conquest, Lust and Domination, would be one of the Lesser Deities participating in the next Great Game. She only needed to select a few Champions to send to the worlds she would give birth to, where their actions would serve as entertainment and allow for bets between the watching gods.

And fate delivered a candidate to her very doorstep.

About this series:

It is a wish-fulfilment fanfic, but avoid the worst mistakes of the genre.

No, the protagonist won't receive absurd powers at the very start for the sole merit of breathing or being 'lucky'. He will start will only a minor heal on a long cooldown, and will have to train like a maniac and drop sweat and blood to get ahead. It will take him months to become significantly above average, and years to become the strongest.

No, girls won't fawn over him just because of his pretty face. Things will be more realistic and transactional at first.

The protagonist is benevolent, but also ruthless, and will often use underhanded methods to get what he wants. Or should I say, who he wants.

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

English isn't my first language. I hope this will still be readable enough not to be uncomfortable for you readers, and I welcome constructive criticiscm.

Tags: No Yaoi or Futa, but there will be a smattering of Yuri, especially in the third arc. There will be BDSM, a lot. A variety of kinks will be explored, but you can expect plenty of bondage, latex and pet play. If you dislike those, this one may not be for you.

Cover by Tim Gibbons. I will replace it upon request. <<less

Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A threat from another realm threatens their world, and only a goddess whose domain is far too intimate for Zaren’s liking is convinced of its existence. She needs Zaren to prepare the world for a war nobody believes is coming before its too late. The only problem? Her deal involves resetting Zaren’s level back nearly to one.... more>>

Alone and with only a shadow of his former power, Zaren has to collect both levels and allies in the hopes he might stand a chance against the looming threat. But the world he’s trying to save isn’t quite the one he left behind. The rules have changed, and he needs to learn how and why before he stands a chance of saving anyone.

But if Zaren wants to have a chance at completing his impossible task, he’s going to have confront the scars of his past and unravel the darkness that lurks within him. A task that might have more to do with his mission than he previously thought. Luckily, those put on his path, seemingly by fate itself, seem more than willing to offer a helping hand. And, if he plays his cards right, quite a bit more.

(All characters involved in explicit scenes are 18 years or older)

What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-While not the first story I've ever written, it is the first erotica I've ever attempted so expect me to be somewhat inexperienced in those areas. Feedback is always appreciated.
-Dark themes, traumatic pasts mixed with lighter moments that will slowly head towards happier waters as Zaren fights against the world he finds himself in.
-Longer chapters, almost always over 5k words
-A competent MC with a tortured past doing his best to move forward
-Occasional other POVs from various characters, sometimes not immediately relating to the current characters (though they will always factor in eventually)
-Plenty of smut. Though it isn't the main focus of the story and doesn't start too strong, it will ramp up over time.
-LitRPG elements with less emphasis on number crunching and more on the end results so as to not bog the reader down with numbers and data
-A wide cast of characters, races, skills, classes, etc.
-A world that isn't openly smut-themed in nature, but there might be some secrets Zaren uncovers as he explores it...
-No NTR, incest, furry, or generally taboo kinks

-Current Update Schedule is Tuesday/Friday at 6pm CST.

A hero summoning circle. An inevitable death. A magical contract. ... more>>

When a dimensional portal opened and an army of monsters invaded Earth, Kalysto Luna’s life was turned upside down.

Awakening with magic, and zero mana, a violet-colored window appeared before her:

[Do you want to survive?]

But survival means so much more than she could’ve predicted. In enemy territory, Kalysto will discover what she can do as a dual-system user. And what she was meant to become.

She thought that going to another world would be safer... She was wrong.

“Don't trust anyone... not even yourself."

Release Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. (GTM-5)

Luna Ashflow is not the type of girl one would typically expect. At the very least, not internally. In her previous existence, she was a despondent young man, a solitary individual who had once made an effort to rescue someone's life but tragically ended up being shot and killed in the process. Upon awakening, she finds herself reincarnated in a new world on the verge of transformation and war. To navigate this changing landscape, she must learn the language and secrets of this world to support her new family and confront the challenges brought about by the imposing crisis that looms overhead. While also striving to build upon her new identity and purpose so that... more>> she could leave a lasting impression on this second chance at life.

When the President said to immerse ourselves in the project, this was NOT what I had in mind!... more>>

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…

Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.

But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?

They say every hero needs a villain. In the world of Strarth, the Goddess of Heroes Afa certainly thinks so. Unfortunately she doesn't have either nor is she allowed to bring any to the world of Strarth. Fortunately for her all her superiors are currently asleep and won't be waking up for a couple decades. What's more another strange entity who has the ability to grant her wishes offers her a deal she just can't refuse!... more>>

The deal is simple, the strange entity brings to the world of Strarth someone who Afa can mold into a villain and then Afa can summon a few hand picked heroes from this backwards planet called earth. What's not to love?

This is where Bryson Colin Coldwater comes in. Falling from the sky on a cold rainy night an infant Bryson is found in the garden of the Coldwaters. A noble elitist group that is known to rule their land with fear. Throughout Bryson's life his family call him the chosen one, and that their family has been chosen above all others. A perfect upbringing to bring up a egotistical villain.

Unfortunately, for Afa, and fortunately for Bryson, he does not quite develop in the way she wanted him to. Over the course of Bryson's life, he will be in countless different scenarios and situations that are made to turn him into a villain that will be defeated by the heroes in the future. Bryson will unknowingly resolve these conflicts in any other outcome but the one Afa wants.

In this strange game of chess, watch as the world of Strarth's most terrible evil villain faces of against his destiny. <<less

I thought I was invited to a new game world, but it was a different world! ?... more>>

Full dive VR game “World Maker” for one person.

The game, which was based on “manufacturing”, had a huge amount of item data and gained popularity because it allowed unlimited creation depending on the user’s imagination.
The main character, Rion Akizuki, was also fascinated by it and started playing, and is a heavy user who continues to play several years after its release.
Her goal is to “make all items”. And her wish is finally fulfilled.
A system message arrives to her. “I need your help in a different world.”
Rion, who had heard rumors that a sequel was being developed, said, “Is the sequel an online game and an invitation to be a tester?”

――However, the destination of the teleportation wasn’t a new game world, but a different world.

Survive in the world that has become “real” by making full use of the knowledge of the game era!

From the bustling corridors of high school to the far reaches of a distant planet, Chloe's journey is a rollercoaster of emotions as she tackles her own anxieties while battling the forces that threaten to plunge Emiarhia into carnage. The augury that once loomed in the background now demands full attention. As the saviours inch closer to understanding the intricacies of Emiarhia's plight, a dark underbelly is revealed. A shadowy presence soon emerges from the depths and seeks to exploit the cracks in Chloe's newfound armour. Earth becomes a battleground of its own; a stage where the traces of intergalactic strife reverberate. Torn between duty and sentiments, Chloe learns that the greatest battles are not always fought solely on distant planets, but also within the recesses of her own heart. Her choices become even more critical as tension escalates. After all, any choice or misstep could spell ruin. When friends weaken and foes strengthen, the line which severs light from dark becomes dangerously blurred. Who can be trusted in this abattoir full of power, betrayal, and turbulent dualities?

**Starshrouds and Nervesbane** is a spellbinding trilogy that immerses readers in a tale about self-discovery, resilience, and the extraordinary odyssey of a plain girl who was never meant to remain in the background after all. <<less

In a world engulfed by the endless expanse of blue, the formation of Azur Lane marked the dawn of humanity's last stand. This coalition, forged by the major factions—Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Iron Blood, and Sakura Empire—stood united in the face of a terrifying adversary: Siren. These enigmatic entities, emerging without warning, carved a path of devastation across the oceans, threatening to erase the world as it once was.... more>>

Desperation fueled innovation, leading to the creation of KAN-SEN—Kinetics Artifactual Navy-Self-regulative En-lore Node—living embodiments of hope designed to turn the tide against the Sirens. These warships, imbued with human form and unparalleled combat prowess, became the vanguard of humanity's fight for survival. For the first time, the looming shadow of extinction began to wane.

Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, a mysterious figure arose—a Commander, shrouded in secrecy. No one knew their true origin, nor the depths of their abilities. But one truth echoed across the factions: this Commander was humanity's last hope. With unwavering resolve, they led the KAN-SEN into battle, time and again defying the odds, and snatching victory from the jaws of despair.

This Commander was more than a strategist, more than a leader. They were a beacon of salvation, a symbol of defiance against the Sirens. In their hands rested the fate of the world, and with every battle won, they etched their legend deeper into the annals of history—a Savior, forged in the crucible of war.

This is the story of a sole Commander, where their life was turned around upon a certain unexplainable incident. The incident that will reveal every secret of the world and its surrounding about Siren. <<less

Five years ago, humanity learned they weren’t alone in the universe. Hopelessly outmatched, the Earth’s armies fell to the unending onslaught of the machine menace, The Sylan Empire. When all hope seemed lost, a group of brave warriors emerged and fought back, holding the line against the coming doom. ... more>>

Teams of these warriors began to appear across the globe, fighting off the Sylan at every turn. They were not invincible and many of these Rangers lost their lives defending humanity from the invaders.

Minneapolis had no Ranger team despite many incursions by the Sylan. Nicole Hayes struggled to find her way after losing her parents in the last incursion, but a chance meeting at the annual Renaissance Faire set her on a different course.

One she didn’t want, but would take up anyway, because if nothing else, it would give her inevitable death meaning.

She is The Reluctant Ranger.
__________________________________________________________________________
What to expect:

Lots of sentai inspired action and a fair bit of violence and gore.

The Rangers don't always have clean wins and sometimes innocents pay the price for it.

Nicole is an openly gay woman so expect a WLW romance subplot.

The characters drive the story, so I try to give them time to shine outside their uniforms as well as within.

Nicole is not in a good place mentally at the start, give her time to find her footing.

Posting Schedule: M/W/F Update schedule going forward.

I have over 70 chapters drafted at the time chapter 1 is going live and I am doing a thorough edit pass before posting each of them. I plan to drop the first ten chapters fairly quickly, then scale back to ensure I can maintain the same level of quality hopefully though the end of the story. (Which I'm not even going to attempt to estimate, scope creep is already getting to me) I intend to keep a minimum of a ten chapter lead for those that support me on Patreon. (Though those chapters won't be as heavily edited as those going live for the public)

Being a licensed monster hunter is all Nero ever dreams about. Fame, glory, and prestige are all noteworthy perks, but the biggest perk is the fortune that comes with contracts to kill, and moreover, the Hunter Games.... more>>

A game show where ranked hunters fight in an arena to entertain their sponsors for hard cash is the fastest way to get rich. For Nero, money means getting his sick mother better again, a challenge that his poor family has been struggling with for years.

However, there is only one thing standing between Nero and his destiny—he has no meta-skill.

Only the supernaturally gifted few stand a chance to enlist in Hunter Corp, and Nero isn’t one of them. Until one day he wakes up with a superpower after surviving a monster attack, and then, he gets another… and another… and, another?

The norm is one meta-ability per gifted customer—Nero’s multi-meta phenomena is a rare case that is turning the heads of not only his squad mates, but the entire hunter corporation. And the reason is a dark secret that only one girl could reveal.

A famous web novelist finds himself burnt out and creatively bankrupt—until a strange, talking book thrusts him into a magical world.

A reincarnator in the anime "My Hero Academia." Into a canonical but rather useless character from Class 1-B at U.A. - who, with the right approach, can reach the level of All Might.

W͟h͟a͟t'͟s͟ ͟u͟n͟d͟e͟r͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟c͟o͟v͟e͟r͟:

✔ Own plot growing on the ruins of the canon - YES.
✖️ Do you need to know the original to read? - No.
✔ Humor, daily life, action - YES.
✖️ Overpowered MC loaded with plot devices from the start - No.
✔ Logical progression from weakling to monster - YES.
✖️ Canon bashing, everyone is dumb, and I'm the only smart one - No.
✔ Respectful treatment of the source material - YES.
✔ World-building, explanations of phenomena and idioms (so-called "filler") - oh YES!
✔ Romance - YES.
✖️ And no, there won't be a harem or explicit content.

0. Early Access: ▶ https://www.patreon.com/XAN3ON ◀ - there you’ll find 7 or more additional chapters, download option and something else.
1. Volume 1 = buildup. If you think the protagonist knows best - you only think so.
2. No need to be familiar with the original story; I try to explain all the important points.
The canon (of the series) is as unshakable as a rock, with adjustments for the actions of the main character… or rather, that’s what Niren thinks. I didn’t specify exactly which main character :)
3. The protagonist himself has only seen the first 5 seasons of the anime, hasn’t read the manga, isn’t familiar with the spinoff, and hasn’t even heard of the movies.
4. There’s a lot of reflection, world explanations, various plans, and elaborate strategies.
5. I weave cool elements from Japanese culture into the narrative.
6. I made the cover myself.
7. And finally: comments motivate me.
Discussion of the plot, my characters, their abilities, cool fan art of the characters. Fact: books that receive active comments tend to gain popularity a bit faster. Plus, like many others, I simply enjoy reading ideas, thinking through theories, and making guesses. <<less
