As the first light of dawn pierces the horizon, the tranquil village at the edge of the Twilight Vale is shaken to its core by a sudden and sinister event. Viktor, once a guardian of arcane secrets, now stands condemned, his dark mastery over life and death bringing him to the brink of execution. But an unforeseen calamity halts his demise—a mysterious affliction strikes the village chief, stirring fear and chaos among the villagers.... more>>

Granted an uneasy reprieve, Viktor is thrust into an unlikely role as the village's last hope. Bound by a desperate pact, his quest for redemption leads him deep into the heart of a world where the boundaries of reality are woven with threads of ancient magic. With each step into the forgotten woods and beyond, the land itself challenges Viktor, testing his resolve and forcing him to confront the haunting specters of his past.

As the quest progresses, the very fabric of the vale seems to unravel, revealing long-buried secrets and a creeping darkness that may stem from Viktor’s own actions. Now, standing alone against the gathering shadows, Viktor must decide whether to seek salvation through the redemption of his soul or further entangle himself in the web of dark forces that threaten to consume the vale and everything he holds dear

Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over.
But that's all about to change.... more>>

An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong?

As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought.

Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start?

In late 2023, unknown insects began to swarm the earth. They reproduced and mutated rapidly, leaving devastation in their wake. They ravaged human life, ending the world as we knew it, leaving nothing more than death and destruction. These swarms infected communities, which turned humans savage, violent, and hungry for blood. They desecrated the earth, eroding it into uninhabitable wasteland. ... more>>

More than three centuries after the insects first invaded, Selene Jackson is living daily life doing administrative work in the underground bunker where she was born and raised. After several years of doing the same menial work, she grows dissatisfied with her life. She finds work tedious and her boyfriend inattentive, slowly beginning to crave experiencing the world outside the bunker.

Eventually, she earns a trial run as a Huntress—a group of inhabitants that traverse outside in search of supplies, survivors, or to remove any threats. Becoming a Huntress means Selene must work closely with her brother's best friend, the notorious King Belmont.

When Selene's brother goes missing during an expedition outside the bunker walls, she makes it her mission to find him and bring him back home safely at any cost. This sets her and King off on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, turning both their worlds completely upside down. This upheaval makes them question everything they've ever known, including those they trust the most.

The Tides of Luna is a story about survival and strength, and the beauty that can blossom from those moments of darkness. <<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:
- 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.

"In the bustling city of Lumina Prime on the planet of Primitia, a pod of humanity seeks sanctuary from a galactic rebellion, only to face a new threat - a demonic invasion. Led by the determined Lysandra, humans and neighboring civilizations unite to defeat the malevolent demon lord, banishing him from their world. But victory comes with a sinister twist - some demons remain, masquerading as impostors, consuming identities to infiltrate human society. Yes, there are literally sussy impostors among us.... more>>

Enter Vernadette, a vigilante driven by grief and fuelled by vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her parents to the demon horde, she roams the city's shadowed alleys as the Scarlet Serpent, determined to purge Lumina Prime of its demonic infestation. But her solitary crusade yields little progress, and as hope fades, she finds herself at a crossroads. She's literally just like me(Batman) fr.

Damien, a downtrodden mobster trapped in a downward spiral, stumbles upon Vernadette's path amidst the chaos of a demon assassination. Their fateful encounter ignites a spark of purpose in both souls - Vernadette, seeking a way to pierce the veil of darkness shrouding her city, and Damien, yearning for redemption in a life marred by regret and betrayal. He's literally just like me(Loser) fr.

Bound by circumstance, Vernadette and Damien form an uneasy alliance. With Lumina Prime teetering on the brink of chaos, Lysandra grapples with the looming threat of the Impostor Epidemic. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.

As Vernadette's relentless pursuit leads her closer to uncovering the truth behind the impostor epidemic, she must confront her own demons and reckon with the consequences of her actions. With Lumina Prime hanging on the edge of chaos, the looming threat of Jerma, the demon general turned renegade, casts a shadow over the city's fate. Can Vernadette and Damien unravel the sinister machinations of Jerma before it's too late, or will Lumina Prime succumb to the darkness that lurks within?"

Okay guys, that's the synopsis. Now, we ball.

Sussy Baka Impostor Amogus Jerma. I know, brain rot writing style before GTA 6 fr. But yeah, all this, inspired by the whole sussy wussy Jerma impostor. Not like, copying events like Among Us games and that, just the elements of "impostor amogus" and names like Jerma will be incorporated, but generally, it's a story of its own. Btw, the name Jerma is from Jerma, but in no way represents him. Jerma fiction here is different from Jerma real fr, it's just names that are similar not their personality. I'll be making YouTube videos explaining our thought process soon, just search "The Ordinary Observer" then look for Yapping Sessions. So yeah, tune in, and that video will go live once the first chapter is published! Also, my boy, Rob, incredible work, great characterization. Him and I are in charge of the characters and dialogue, T.O.O. handles the plot. For parts that are serious, fr, and ong, that's all Robert, everyone. Amazing work from my boy, actually. Made me tear up sometimes especially on the Maverick mom part which was really tragic, but enough of that, LET'S START THIS ALREADY DAMN! Now, I recommend that you turn off your brain and just enjoy the story we want to tell :D

Also, vices aren't cool and they are very bad for your health. Do NOT imitate the people smoking in the story, very bad. If you already have a nicotine addiction, I recommend you lessen until you stop. Also, any gory subjects and pushy issues, don't do that in real life. They're there only to intensify the story, an artistic choice, and to make a statement that we are not playing HAHAHAHA

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO LISTEN TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE ALL TIME CLASSIC, BACK IN BLACK ALBUM BY AC/DC SO YOU CAN GET A FEEL OF THE STORY! <<less

A story I wrote back in 2021 for a friend. Meant to be a bit spicy, but nothing explicit! It's kind of like a diary. Switching back and forth between the two main protagonists in the 24 short chapters. This is all there is to it, but who knows, if it get's popular, I might pick it up, and continue!
All kinds of feedbacks are welcome! While my writing style probably changed since, I'm sure there are things I could still learn from this short. Don't forget to rate it! And please let me know, what, and why you hated, or loved about this story. There is always room for improvement. <<less

After the death of his father, Shen Zhihao succeeded him as the leader of the Yinhai sect. A prestigious position that should bring admiration, and perhaps envy, from his peers. Due to his beauty and demeanor, everything indicated that Shen Zhihao would become a role model for the rest of the disciples.... more>>

However, few anticipated that Shen Zhihao would be a two-legged rat (not literally) who didn't hesitate to impose his will (literally) on all those he considered inferior. A true tyrant.

A dictator who did not foresee that the day would come when his banished older brother would return from the dead to seize his throne. And, finding himself without a clear way to defeat him, Shen Zhihao would have no choice but to venture into the unknown, traveling to another universe to find the chosen one who could assist him in his fight.

He did not count, however, on the fact that once he arrived in this other world, the promised ally had been dead for thirteen years. And that, in his place, there was only an individual named Zhao Xian, a descendant of the man who was supposed to help him, and whose combat skills could be rated between zero and none.

As if that weren't enough, the portal through which Shen Zhihao arrived on this mission of seeking help closed, and with no way to communicate with his clan, how could he return?

Will Zhao Xian be his salvation after all, or on the contrary, will they both end up being each other's downfall? <<less

As the two of them navigate their own messy lives, managing their relationship alongside their secrets, what will they learn about each other?

(Story is vaguely Worm related in that it borrows setting elements. No planned canon worm characters, but I won't discount the possibility of them showing up if I feel like it. This story will be a little heavier than my normal fare, so there may be some more intense themes, especially when it comes to some of the Capes and their powers.) <<less
