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?

Long ago, humans triumphed over dragons, imprisoning them into human mortals now known as dragonoids. These dragonoids endured centuries of enslavement at the hands of humans until they were liberated by the Dragonoid Rights Law. However, this newfound freedom spurred the dragonoids to rally their forces for decades, culminating in the overthrow of the human kingdom as revenge for their centuries of subjugation.... more>>

Within the fallen kingdom of Alterra, Lysander Faradeiss stands as one of the last surviving humans. Armed with Regression Magic, he embarks on a mission to eliminate Hiraya Misteltein, the catalyst of the impending war between humans and dragonoids. Yet, destiny weaves an unexpected path when a long-forgotten magic, the Vesryn Pulse, binds their fates.

"Vesryn Pulse: Lysander of the Regression" chronicles the high-octane journey of a man thrust back in time, determined to rewrite history. As he grapples with the dire consequences of altering the past, Lysander learns that the price of salvation may be greater than he ever imagined.

*All Vesryn Pulse novels are standalone, but they are all connected and might spoil each other* <<less

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

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.

1897, as the world teeters on the edge of war, Völundr, Ambassador of the Society of Nations, gathers a diverse cast of individuals with extraordinary abilities. Steve, a devoted single father, and Alice, his mischievous daughter, will join Völundr as they must confront their haunted pasts. Some of the members seek redemption and vengeance, while others yearn for a place to belong.

She will stop at nothing until those who wronged her face the consequences they deserve.

The fate of the world rests on the shoulders of this unlikely group of heroes as they battle against forces both seen and unseen.

What to expect?

- A time when technology is gradually turning from Steampunk to Dieselpunk.
- Political intrigues.
- Alternate historical drama + Fantasy.
- Multiple lead characters.
- Magic meets Science.
- Shonen anime-style fights.
- Kaijus and destruction.
- Lots of waifus and husbandos 
- It may contain some mild Fantasy Violence, but nothing too graphic. (Check out my Patreon for an Uncensored version)

Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. A life of war and pain left him with nothing and nobody, and with the fight for the world over and done with Zaren was ready to simply disappear. To leave behind the world that held nothing more for him, taking with him a powerful weapon he knew would cause untold suffering if it fell into the wrong hands. As far as he's concerned, the world was better off without him or the blade in it.... more>>

But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A deity 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.

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. Something is affecting the world in ways he has to figure out before it gets him killed, and he isn't sure its only mortals behind those changes. Changes that seem to mesh oddly well with certain...benefits provided by the goddess who contracted him.

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.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-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 Monday/Wednesday/Friday, but I will occasionally drop extra chapters if I have a lot stored up or if I feel like more than one chapter is necessary.

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
