Jack Smith’s life ended rather abruptly. Spinning out on ice while driving a truck was not the most magnificent method to depart this earth. A mediocre man he had led an ordinary life until his death. Now with a second chance at life, he decided that this time he would be exceptional. This time he would finally live up to his name. After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

Armed with a system and determination to do his best he sets out like any other reincarnated soul in another world to find his place and achieve great things. There is just one small problem with getting started in this endeavour . . . he is yet to be born!

Welcome to a progression fantasy with a twist. What might you be able to achieve if your race to the top began before your body had even been born?

Join our hero as he masters the language, magics and skills of the Compass Kingdoms but his first great challenge will be learning to walk once more.

Warning 1: Be prepared for the MC to spend an entire book's worth of words and time as an infant but hopefully you will enjoy it nevertheless.

Warning 2: Grandfather is legally abusive to MC for a couple of chapters but he is removed from that situation around chapter 30. To be edited out some time in the future. <<less

Book club, chess club, maybe a photography or science club? Those are the sorts of groups most high-schools have. Our school's different. We've got a supernatural club. The members are all witches, and they investigate hauntings, werewolf sightings, magical phenomena, and other weird stuff like that. ... more>>

All sixteen-year-old Alicia Crimsonmane wants is to become a mage, to follow in her mother's footsteps, and to be acknowledged once again by her esteemed wizarding kin.... more>>

So, Fate grants her wish. She is now The Child of Miracles, the wielder of the strongest essence in the world of thaumaturgy...

With the consequences her head is the most wanted bounty in the entire realm, and a burden to gather anomalies like herself to save the conflict-ridden magic world from impending doom.

But will she remain unwavering in her conviction, even if it means seeing her innocence clash with the harsh realities she is bound to encounter? Or discovering that her world stores ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶ far more treacherous truths she never imagines?

Because magic is not just flowers and fireworks after all...

===========================================

What to expect in this story:
What to expect in this story:
1. A slow, classic progressive fantasy narrative that focuses not only on the characters but also on the intricacies of magic, spells, and the individuals who practice them.

2. No blue boxes.

3. The main character, while deeply passionate about magic and the mystic arts, struggles with her own inability to wield it. She possesses a vast knowledge of magic trivia and learns to control her anxiety over time in order to prevent her habitual impulsive actions.

4. MC is "Scottish" (inspired) so expect some of the dialects and the foreign terms as part of the world-building. But along the way, the dialect will be reduced along with MC travelling outside her hometown. The translations for these terms will be provided in a dedicated glossary in the first entry. Feel free to share your feedback regarding any terms that may have been overlooked.

VOW, Veil Of Worlds. Merely another game in the industry, just that it's the most advanced technologically, one that gives you much more freedom than any other. That's the mindset a seemingly ordinary student takes when logging in for the first time, and that's the mindset he... or maybe she very quickly realizes to be too simple, too lacking. Because the feelings and changes she herself experiences and sees in others might just make a part of another, much greater truth.... more>>

A story placed in a world of VOW, a new game made with full dive technology, and the world hundreds of years after Earth became but a reminder for future generations and humanity found their new homes among the stars. And where far more than desolate systems lie, even more so behind the veil that is the fabric of reality.

Story mostly from one POV, first person perspective.

Ellie would not fail.
Geoff would not try.... more>>

High-achieving Ellie Gardner meets intentional slacker, Geoff Cobalt, throwing their previously steady life trajectories into chaos. Ellie is an adopted daughter of a midwestern crime family in dire straits, sent to Orange County, CA not only to get a college degree, but to make connections with another local emerging crime family, the Sinclairs. Geoff is the secret grandson (also adopted) of a legendary supervillain. Despite this, he prefers to eat junk food, light fires, steal, and play video games. Therefore, Ellie is recruited to keep his college studies on track in exchange for training from his grandfather. She needs to study, survive, and learn to budget both her money and time between her many obligations. She can't do it on her own. But when everyone is putting on a front (including herself), who can she trust?

And while they don't realize it, there are many hidden eyes on them.

"Ellie was on her own.
Geoff was on his own.
They only had each other."

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

Megacles has a pretty good life. Also, she is horny, lonely, bored, anxious, and a bit of a drunk. She decides to fix all this with science. It works okay, until she accidentally builds a doomsday device. At least she’s not bored anymore.

Mr. President has inherited a broke, corrupt, government. Unemployment is high, nobody pays taxes, the healthcare system is collapsing, and the government is using systemic blackmail to cover it up. He has a plan to fix it all, he just needs to steal a trillion dollars to get started.

Super Science and Fast Romance is a near future, science fiction, romantic comedy, political psychodrama. It’s fun. It teaches how to fix everyday problems with lasers, evil robots, and mass hallucinations. These solutions work really well. Only a couple people die.

Any money made by this book will be spent on drugs and super hot lasers. <<less

Echo thought he had the perfect fresh start. Offered reincarnation into a world of swords and magic. Able to grow stronger by going on adventures. One quest gone wrong changed all of that. Lured into a trap by a sadistic, mad mage. Collapsing on the brink of death, he is captured. Subjected to the power of an artifact, reborn as a monster in human flesh. Killing other monsters, consuming their hearts, evolving - growing stronger from every foe devoured. Strong enough to survive. To get revenge. To devour even more.... more>>

What to Expect:
- JN Light Novel Inspired: This story is my native English speaker 'take' on the JN Light Novel.
- Gradual Start: Chapters 1-9 develop the world / characters / rules of the System.
- Rapid Evolution: Chapter 10 and onward the story gets much darker as Echo evolves.
- Custom System: LitRPG with occasional stat screens + Power-Stealing for rapid growth.
- Romance Elements: There's an MC and Side Character straight romance. LGBTQ+ representation is present. All sexual content is strictly 'fade to black'. Nothing explicit.
- Point-of-View Swaps: The story is primarily told from Echo's POV, but there are well-marked breaks to pivot to his party, side-characters, and villains.

ABOUT:

David "Moz" Morrison is a former English teacher, unrepentant geek and occasional boardgamer.

"Of Magic & Monsters" is my take on shows such as Buffy and Supernatural, with a British spin. Expect a blend of action, humour, mystery, thrills, chills, gut punches and rug pulls. (You have been warned!)

Morally grey areas and never quite being sure who the villains really are is the arena the books occupy, so don't expect easy black-and-white or good vs evil style conflicts.

It's worth noting now that the books as planned will switch character view points from one book to the next as the ongoing story progresses. I'm currently editing and uploading Book 1 at a pace of 3 chapters per week whilst also writing Book 2, provisionally titled "Bloody Vampires"

If you'd like to support the writing of the story and read advance chapters, there's a Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/OfMagicAndMonsters - all support is very gratefully received :)

This story is a slow burn and has many lead characters and points of views, so don't expect too much in the first few chapters. I'm a very, and i mean very, slow writer so I'll only be updating this once a week on Saturdays. I also release mini intermission chapters in between my regulars updates sporadically.

This story is also written in a weird experimental playwright style to allow quick and easy conversation between multiple people to occur at once. This style might not might not appeal to some.

Also, if it wasn't obvious, most of the artwork you see in this series is AI generated. <<less

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage. Instead of dying, he wakes up a cyborg. Turns out his boss wasn’t just an eccentric inventor, and the old man just gave him a shining opportunity to be a hero.

Except that’s just the beginning, and things are about to get a lot more complicated.

His boss has his own agenda. The boss’s daughter has her own power armor. His roommate works for an evil corporation.

And Emmett is small fry. Just a Class 1 hero.

Superheroes aren’t just masks—some work for corporations, or for the government and the military, and even as mercenaries in wars. Shadowy cabals pull the strings of hero and villain alike. The city of Belport might be peaceful for now, but most of the world is in turmoil. If Emmett is going to have any chance at making a difference, he needs to get stronger. A lot stronger.

How much of his humanity will he hold onto and how much will he trade away?
