The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns.... more>>

It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out.

Blurb:

Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless.

But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands.

Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right.

Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed.

Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure. <<less

Shiro believes he's been sent to the wrong school.... more>>

Rormund Academy: home to only the best of the best. A school so exclusive even its name remains elusive to the public. An establishment where only the wealthiest, smartest, and most athletic students of the world reside. Shiro exhibits none of these qualities, having more in common with a sheet of plywood than with royalty.

Regardless, he intends on spending the last of his school years as planned; as a normal schoolboy and nothing more.

Until they see the scars on his back.

[UPDATE: ]
- Slice of Life is here for a reason. Things change pace at varying speed, but I'm in this for the long haul. Please Enjoy!

Some Important Notes: (Wall of Text which you might find relevant)
============================================================
- This series is a Naruto Fanfic, so it already targets a somewhat niche audience. It'll likely be more fun to have some familiarity with the Naruto world. That said, this is just my indulgence, so I'd be very pleased if you got some enjoyment out of it regardless.
- This is Not Isekai, it's a sort of AU (because it's an earlier time period) with a few added OCs (because it's free real estate)
- Doubtless some elements will be awkward/cringe when expressed in English. I feel your pain.
========Other Notes:
- I do not own Naruto. This is purely a derivative work.
- Think of this as a drafted version. I proofread a lot to keep up the quality, but I always seem to miss something. If you find grammatical or formatting errors, please let me know (Comment?) and I'll fix it.
- As for Tagging: It's currently accurate, but I'll add more if they get relevant. I haven't finished writing, after all.
- As for Content Warnings: I honestly don't know what all will be there yet, but I have a lot of ideas so I included it all to be safe. Fair Warning. Intended audience is ~17/18+ so I'm just following the guidelines.
- No official release schedule since I work full-time and you never know. This may change.
- Multi-genre, a little bit of all the things I like. More may come.
*******
- I do not own the Cover art, I only edited overlays for it.

Fed up with a world where science has made every fantasy a reality and people just don’t care about stories anymore, a young video game developer named Kai uses ancient black magic to transport himself into one of his games, titled: Choices.... more>>

Disturbed by his powerlessness on Earth, Kai makes sure to give himself the ability to change this new world as he sees fit, literally.

If you were ridiculously powerful, would you throw away all your morals and do whatever you wanted? Would you find happiness? Would you find love?
Or would you end up realizing that…

Absolute power is pretty depressing.

Note: The format for chapter titles is: “Overall_number POV_number: Title." Look at the POV chapter number to see who is narrating.

Finally getting over a pretty bad cold I had I decided to go mountain biking for the first time in my life. Why the sudden urge you may ask? well it was because the entire time I was sick the only thing I binged videos of is people riding down huge trails and dangerous routes on bikes. and it seemed super fun. I mean I also did other stuff like reading light novels but that's not as important since I had just took a break from a looong binge of my only entertainment being Light novels, web novels and manga so I was pretty burnt out on new stories anyway back to the point.
While... more>> I was finally at the peak of the trail and ready to descend the cliché happen truck-kun decided I was next on its list.
Then another cliché happened I was face to face with something akin to a god and deciding where I wanted my conscience to reincarnate into or if I wanted my memory wiped and a fresh start and like anyone who binges light novels and manga for most of their time I decided to go to my favorite fictional world The new world from Overlord...HAHAH not. maybe next time even though that's my favorite light novel no way I'm living in such a dark place where rape is pretty much expected to happen from nobility also I want to keep my humanity and not turn into a mass geocoding bone man. so I went with the next best option and my favorite mangaverse One piece. and although I'm not reincarnating with any huge chats i can choose the devil fruit of my choice without the side effect of not being able to swim and being bound by seaprism stone along with being able to choose how I want my life to start but i didn't want to dictate everything so i said "I want to be put into an environment that will train me to be the strongest since birth....also the same generation as luffy....and I want to use 2 devil fruits" With this I started my new life in The Onepieceverse.

Will have some r18 not main point of the story though.

Ethan Monroe wakes up and soon finds himself in a different place. Or in this case, a different universe. After dying in his old world, he was then reincarnated into the world of his favorite novel, The Spear of The Savior. A place where heroes known as Saviors protect the people from monsters that invaded them over a century ago.

The Boy Scout. The first of the X-Men. The Leader. The Hero. The Villian. The Symbol. The Mutant. He had many titles to his name, but none more well-known than that of Cyclops. He was the man with the plan, the man people looked to lead them from the difficult times and the one they betrayed when things started to turn for the better. Yet he had always fought for one goal, an impossible goal that always kept getting further and further away.... more>>

But upon the brink of failure, Cyclops, like always, had a plan in the works. Perhaps his universe was beyond saving, but there were others out there. He just had to arm another with the memories he had and rely on them to succeed where he had failed. There was always one person he could rely upon and that was himself. <<less

Why is life precious?... more>>

Because you only have one.

Then what about the person who took over 999 lives?

Who died 999 tragic death as a villain?

Then, how would someone like that live?

The answer is simple... as he damn wishes.

“I-it’s not like I did it for you, you spinless Warrior.”

“Good, the doors to your left, you may leave now.” He said to the tsundere Knight.

PAH!

“How dare you hit a woman?”

“Who cares if you’re a woman? You slapped me when I just saved your life!”

“You touched my chest!”

“I said it was an accident, and again, I just saved your life — you know what? Fuck you, die here if you want to.”

“Wait, wait, come back! Don’t leave me here! I’m sorry!” the princess screamed for help after being tossed to the side of the road.

Theo did all this, yet to his dismay somehow, his reputation remained good in the eyes of many!

A Hero, A Righteous Warrior, Benevolent King, Shadow Lord, Beast Keeper — such were the names given to him...

To all of this, his reaction was always the same.

“WHY!? How did they come to the conclusion that I’m a Hero? Even my other identities who massacred a lot of people, mind you, are not any different!”

[I know, right? You are such an asshole, after all.]

“Shut up, Goddess!”

This is the story of the most malicious villain turned Hero.

The one with the darkest heart shining with the most brilliant name.

He does not hide, nor run, he’s — The Villain Savior.

===

Disclaimer: This is a slow burn story that integrates both Fantasy and somewhat sci-fi. The MC will be more of an anti-hero who will kill any and everyone that he pleases while still understanding the plight of a Villain. This is also family-centric with a dash of hidden identity, Yandere Romance, and character growth.

Cover not mine

Warning: The story/the MC depicted in this synopsis IS there, but, the earlier chapters are an introduction without rushing into things. This is a fantasy, but not just wish-fullfilment story, it is just slower than most.

Enjoy and leave your thoughts in the comment section as I read those.

Batman, also known as Bruce Wayne, is a famous DC superhero with great many feats and capabilities.

When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix.... more>>

Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive.

But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question...

It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right?

[Things to expect:

- A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes.

- Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now.

- Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments.

- I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇

- Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea.] <<less

New Chapter every day!... more>>

The Legion Consortia Galacium was the greatest civilization that ever existed. It stretched across the galaxy, made up of more than ten thousand distinct human cultures with over two hundred thousand inhabited worlds.

Millenia in age it was connected through a system of extra-spacial conduits called The Mirror Maze. It was said that one could walk from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than a hundred steps. It was a marvel of technology, art and peace. Until The Macros came, and in a blink of an eye it was destroyed.

The Macros are beings of pure motivated Trinary code. They broke out of The Mirror Maze nearly instantaneously across the Consortia, inhabiting and taking control of the technologies from the most advanced worlds to the least. With no defenses capable of stopping them, they spread throughout the galaxy, destroying interstellar culture after culture.

Far from the center of galactic civilization, The Palmyr Century was isolated enough to get advanced word of The Macro invasion. The Palmyr was able to close it’s Mirror Maze gateways to the rest of the Consortia and walled off i’s populated worlds from the threat of The Macros. For more than two hundred and fifty years this protection stood, until it was breached by Althea Ram.

Althea Ram, born on the planet Emerald in Palmyr Century was Trinary coding prodigy. This skill lead her to be recruited by a group, the ZAT, an organization engaged in illegal research into Macro code. When found out, the ZAT was eliminated on orders of The First Centurion. Althea escaped with her newly created AI, Dorian.

A fugitive, she found herself betrayed time and time again. Ultimately she joined a group organized by the Rian telepath Shirae Valerian. Shirae made a deal with Althea for her own reasons and provided her with a Mirror Port which would allow her to reach the Lost Worlds outside The Palmyr. While she is driven to discover the secrets of The Macros, Althea is still drawn back to The Palmyr by the unfinished business that has defined her.

The Promethead is her story. And inside the Undeniable Labyrinth is where the journey begins... <<less

In the Dragon Seal Universe, humans worship the Celestial Court of the Dragon Gods. As per the edicts of the Celestial Court, humans Cultivate the Dao to seek strength and rise above their common roots. If they rise to one day serve the Dragon Gods directly, they have the chance to be initiated into the Greater Secrets of the Daos, which can allow them to live for millions of years.... more>>

Coalescence, the Path of Transcendence, is considered a Heretical Art of the Demonic War Masters, whose evil empire was said to have been overthrown hundreds of millennia in the past by the Celestial Court. Wolves, a species that are said to have once served the War Masters, are listed by the Temple of the Celestial Court as one of the most corrupt of Demonic Beasts. They are killed on sight.

Surrounded by the Demonic Wildlands and protected by the ancient Watch Towers, a number of human nations and empires thrive atop the Great Plateau. Cultivators rule over the general populace and the Temple of the Celestial Court rules over the Cultivators. Anyone caught practicing Coalescence is sentenced to death by torture.

I am half human and half Wolf. Since I am already under a death sentence for my Bloodline, there is nothing to stop me from setting out on the Path of Coalescence. As I promised my mother, I will grow strong. When I am strong enough, I will destroy the Dragons and Dragon Gods. I will set this world, once known as Sirius, free from their chains.

[I was reborn after being murdered because of the true wish that I made for revenge against all human-peoples, but now I’m alive again and I actually just kind of don’t want to do that anymore; so I opened a shoe-store instead!]
__________________________________________________
After being violently torn from her old life in the natural world after being grotesquely murdered by miners belonging to members of the common races of humans and elves, Mirabelle the fairy makes a true wish to anything that can hear her dying screams, beckoning the old powers of the forgotten reaches to allow her to take her revenge against those who stole all things precious from her in this life.
... more>> 40px;"> Her wish is granted. However, upon being reborn in an age far after when she originally died, and all traces of her old life having been erased by the unforgiving passing of time, she finds herself alone with a spirit as crushed as her old body had been, as while she has been granted her wish for power, all of the people who wronged her have long since died already.

The cruel fairy forsakes her true wish to make the world worse than she left it and instead finds a new life in a very unlikely place — the large, nearby human city that hadn’t existed when she last knew the area generations upon generations ago.

Needing a way to survive as the only fairy within the human capital, if not the only one at all in the world, Mirabelle lives in secret within the vibrant city full of magic and adventurers, adapting to the ways of the human-people, as the fairy ways do not suffice to survive within this new, industrious world that is the total opposite of her old one, until she finds her path forward as a shoemaker's apprentice!

Living in secret and in fear, unable to reveal herself because of her own anxieties, the fairy practices the art of shoemaking in secret, the old bargain of her rebirth not forgotten by her or by the dark stars that granted it, as she spends her days making boots as she tries to figure out what life exactly is for a cruel fairy or a cruel human, both of whom exist under the curious glow of starlight that seems to wait ever so patiently for the bargain to be fulfilled.

Will Mirabelle succumb to the cruel desires to make the humans pay for what they did to her and her people, or will she find a new way forward, breaking free from the spiritual shackles of revenge?
