Four friends with differing beliefs are forced by a higher being to take part in a Battle Royale to decide the collective morality of mankind.

That boy was supposed to save our world from the wrath of the Demon King. And while the King is dead, an even worse threat has arisen: the boy himself! I don't know how he came to this world, but I'm going to be the one to take him out of it. The only problem is, I've heard he's super strong. As in, destroy-the-world-if he-so-much-as-sneezes strong. What am I, a prince of a lowly kingdom going to do about it? Honestly, I have no idea. What I do know is that I'm the only one willing to step up. ... more>>

Sure, there's the hero part, but that worm also stole my attendant to add to his collection of girls! Joke's on him, I've got one of his girls as my companion, though this one seems to be dumber than a sack of rocks.

Just my luck.

Together, we'll travel to the Demon King's palace to somehow put a stop to this threat, or my name isn't Anno, third prince of Cross! <<less

Atlas, the emperor of Ceria, invaded the once prosperous planet of Rennaya, searching for the Legendary Rennayan. A being capable of bending the will of all four elements; fire, ice, earth, and electricity.... more>>

Before the invasion, the king of Rennaya gathered the blood of over a billion of his people. Synthesizing and experimenting with it, all to recreate the legendary being. He then entrusted his young son, Osei, with the task of bringing his sibling to life, on Earth.

Osei accomplished the mission and kept the Earth safe, but was captured in the process. Twenty years passed and Osei returned to Earth, as a runaway slave. Shaking Tobi's world with his real identity and awakening the dormant powers within him. The only problem is, Earth is no longer safe... <<less

The Alpha. A Smart AI that had reached Sapience, one given to Leonard Church, the human the Alpha was created from when he started the Freelancer Program, one of many programs that were intended to help Humanity win the Great War against the Covenant. A War that Humanity was losing. In secret, Dr. Leonard Church, Director of the program, knew he needed more AI, but he only had the one, Alpha.... more>>

So, in an act of cruel desperation, or perhaps something else, The Director saw only one option. Over the course of months or years, the Director had the Alpha tortured. Pieces of its mind and soul broke off, like a brain removing a memory that caused too much harm. From this torture, nine AI fragments were created, Beta, Gamma Delta, ETA, Iota, Theta, Sigma, Omega, and finally, Episolon.

Each was a key aspect of the Alpha's soul.
Beta was the Alpha's failures and mistakes.
Gamma was its Reasoning.
Delta was its Logic.
Eta was its fear.
Iota was its happiness.
Theta was its trust.
Sigma was its Ambition and Creativity.
Omega was its Rage.
And Epislon...Epsilon was its memory.

With no way for any more fragments to be extracted from Alpha, the Director has memories planted in Alpha's mind and gave Alpha a body before sending it off to a location where no one would look, with an identity that no one would look into.

After quite a lot, Alpha discovered who it was, and what it was. The Alpha and all other fragments died in an EMP blast, taking down everything the Director built up over the years. However, there was one fragment that survived. Epsilon, Alpha's Memories. <<less

In a world transformed by the sudden emergence of what was thought of myth and legend, humanity is forced to survive in a new world that is growing increasingly more dangerous.

My choice to become an Adventurer and face the horrors of the new world head on would have unforeseen ramifications for me and more people than I ever realized.

Only time will truly tell what those ramifications are as I am forced to deal with far more than the dangers I expected. <<less

In the year 2020 the United Forces of Earth (UFE) were preparing for the second interplanetary war against the Martian Empire.... more>>

By the time the Martian invasion force managed to arrive at the shattered celestial satellite known as the Moon, the Earth's landmasses and its orbital defenses were nowhere to be found, leaving only a blue water world was once known as Earth the cradle of mankind and their objective for dominion.

Meanwhile the UFE finds itself in a mass confusion as its entire continents, islands and even the entirety of the Earth Orbital Defense Forces (EODF) were transported into a somewhat super Earth-like planet. While the United Earth council were relieved enough to call this unexpected phenomenon a blessing and salvation there is still the lingering unknown beyond their current borders and sphere of influence.

Familiar yet different civilizations with their odd tech disparities between each other, existence of arts-magic, half-breed races and questionable hostile endemic wildlife. Along with the so called divinations claimed by the natives of an impending armageddon return of the Sorcerous Empire.

The UFE now finds itself a choice between total annihilation or total assimilation of the new world.

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?

What happens if you're reborn in another world where the Goddess of Chaos has taken a liking to you?

Chosen unwittingly for a task of grave import, one man finds himself caught in a struggle between normalcy and greatness.
Will the blessings of the gods be enough to guide him and his new ward safely through the rising threat of a great sealed evil?

How will a man who was not raised a warrior overcome the difficult tasks before him?
How can a man allow a child to be named Chosen Hero to face the rising threat of the Great Demon Lord?

All these questions, and more, will have to be answered before it's too late.
Thankfully, the man is not facing these mysteries alone... though he's not sure exactly how he feels having the Goddess of Chaos nearly-always-present as a 'shoulder demon'. <<less

A man named, Teotro turns out to be a villainous character from the novel, "True Heir."... more>>

When he found out that he was a character from a novel, he tried to change his fate.
But to know the existence of the novel was daunting.
Before he could change his destiny, a mysterious force far more potent than any known system, dragged the man into a completely different world.

And a.. Different body?

“What in the name of Divinity is this?!”

In this new world, Teotro is driven by an unwavering goal to unravel the mystery behind his unexpected journey and perhaps even find out the truth about a certain world. <<less

In a world where power isn’t just a privilege but a birthright, those born with supernatural abilities stand at the top—revered, feared, and often consumed by their own arrogance. The powerless? They’re left to survive in the shadows, treated as nothing more than an afterthought.... more>>

Xavier was never supposed to escape that system. Created through the Superior Project, he was meant to be a weapon, nothing more. But fate had other plans. A scientist with a conscience risked everything to save him, giving him a new life in a foreign land. There, he found something he was never meant to have—friendship, family, and the freedom to choose his own path.

But the past doesn’t let go so easily. As his powers begin to surface, so do the questions. Is he any different from those who see themselves as superior? Can he hold onto the humanity he’s found, or will power twist him like all the rest?

And when the people who made him come looking, will he run? Or will he finally face the truth about who he really is? <<less

"Any who don the title of 'king' or anything of the sort in my presence is nothing more than an ignorant fool. This is my land and I shall be reclaiming it soon. I am Cacophony, the Vampire Empress!"... more>>

As those words left her lips, every cell in my body reacted. It was unreal—no, it was otherworldly. Her beauty, her power, and her overwhelming arrogance. It might've been then that I realized that my normal life had ended.

How did it come to this?

Ah, it was curiosity. Yes, a deathly curiosity brought me to that graveyard that day.

It was there that I stumbled upon her coffin. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing then, and even now I have no idea what possessed me to touch it—that single moment changed the course of history for the entire world. I found myself delving into a completely unknown world.

Should I regret it? Maybe. But the truth is, I don't.

Exploring the world’s hidden secrets, forging unexpected bonds, and living alongside the revived empress—it’s exciting.

"Even if it's wrong, I think I'm going to enjoy every moment of it." <<less

There are infinite universes, with infinite worlds, and an ever-changing endless tide of energy and life filled these universes with color, power, and laws and limits.

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

/// BOOK II of the **Starshrouds and Nervesbane** series \\\... more>>

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

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)
