When a shadowy infiltrator is betrayed and killed by the very empire he served, he had expected to burn in hell for his committed deeds.... more>>

But instead of waking up in the fiery pits of damnation, he finds himself in the body of a child in an impenetrable, ever-present darkness with not a speck of light in sight.

Utilizing every bit of courage and wit gained from his past life, he tries to survive in this new alien world.

However, little does he know that his first steps are just the start of a journey that will lead him through thousands of worlds. In his struggle, he will encounter countless empires of men, machines, demons, cyborgs, titans, unknown species, and even gods. All connected in the diverse web of worlds known as the Darkbbound Dominion.

Despite the overwhelming numbers, armies, and sheer power of these civilizations, he will soon learn that even the mightiest empires and gods steer clear of the cosmic nebulae of darkness surrounding the dominion, for within the dark lie terrible, terrible monsters.

* This story has a proper litRPG system with all the associated RPG parameters but they're going to come up in later chapters

* Rather than the traditional game-like system headed by an omnipotent god, the system in this story is very unique and organic. The system is a natural part of the universe and is not led by any god. Every living being (including gods themselves) in the universe is subject to this system.

* The story has a lot of fast paced action scenes with generous amounts of blood and gore so it is fiction for young adults and adults.

* The protagonist starts out as a boy but throughout the course of the story he will grow to an adult.

* Updates will be every 5-7 days, trust me I want to go faster but with a new born and two jobs this is my limit :( <<less

When your day goes to hell and you find yourself kidnapped, strung up from a magical tree, and left to bleed out, what do you do next?... more>>

Fortunately, Riordan Kincaid is a tough, gives-no-fucks honey badger shifter. Unfortunately, now that he's survived the first attempt, a death mage and their cult are determined to finish the job by whatever means necessary, pursuing Riordan across the wilds of rural Michigan.

Ghosts and spirits are outside of his specialty, and heaven help him if he has to cast actual spells, but Riordan isn't going to make this easy on his enemies. Even if that means breaking his long exile, turning to the local shifter community for help, and dealing with a bureaucratic department of mages. And don't even get him started on getting licked by a damn spirit bear.

Now he just needs to figure out what will kill him first: his enemies, his past, or his own attempts at using magic? Or will Riordan beat the odds and prove that honey badgers really are that hard to kill? If so, what will he do with a life once hung upon a tree that's more than a tree?

[Series includes profanity, violence, discussions of death and loss, pissed-off badgers, and surreal spirits. It includes LGBTQ+ characters, including a MC who is homoromantic asexual.]

"You do so enjoy employing hostage takeovers, Neil. It's about time you're on the receiving end don't you think?"... more>>

My father said those words to me while Bree was pinning me down on the floor. She wore nothing but her underwear and an oversized hoodie, that only covered up to her slender snow-white thighs.

I asked him what he meant exactly, but he only chuckled through the cell phone and said,

"Well, I guess from today onwards you're going to be taken hostage by an angel."

With that, the phone call, as well as my normal life, came to an abrupt end...

The story of Neil Dameson starts out as if it were any other regular day. He woke up, ate breakfast, took a limousine to school, and fired a couple of incompetent employees. It was the usual life of an everyday teenage millionaire. Then out of thin air, an angel named Bree appeared before him and gave him the powers of an angel. He then could see people's life spans and took on the mantle of being a "Death Watcher." With his newfound powers, he had to use them to save humanity from the threat of the "Overshadows." The Overshadows" were evil dark angels who lived eternally by stealing the life span of humans and threw the world into chaos. The weight of his duties only heightens when he finds out that he dies if he fails to save even a single human life. Forced into a situation, where Neil has to become the reluctant hero everyone wants him to be, and with his life at the mercy of the angels, he truly was a hostage.

Book 1 in the Nath'aniel Series
Mages, a subspecies of humanity which were forgotten to the pages of history. They were able to wield the energies of magic easier and quicker than any other group that attempted to learn the mystic arts on Earth. And today centuries, if not millennia, since their disappearance the Earth is different. We have planes and tanks, internet and radio. But it has other groups appearing as well. The Enhanced, people empowered through science to be better, stronger than the average person. And Mutants, those born with the rare X gene that grant them wondrous powers of varying application, that can trigger at any time. Sometimes at birth, puberty, or... more>> when you discover you wife and children dead in a trench. With some being as strong or stronger than an Enhanced, to people being able to manipulate metal and turn the various tools of the modern day against their user. But what would happen, when a group of these naturally Enhanced, the Brotherhood of Mutants, on the run from the law were to find one of the last bastions of the Magi. And perhaps the last mage.

This story is inspired by other Marvel fanficion, but takes concepts from outside of Marvel. This world is not the MCU, it is not the 616. It is a world inspired by them. Also it holds rules and mechanics inspired from the Fate Anime series, namely the concept of Servants. Humans empowered by myth and magic to be more than they are. This is novel 1 of a planned series, how long will it be I am not certain yet. But I did not want to just shove you, the reader, into a wild and twisted world, but rather build up to it, so some of you may see it as a slow burn. But hopefully for those of you giving it a shot, you will find it and the characters an entertaining distraction.

Sexual Content is ticked because there is sex hinted in one chapter of this book, but later books may be more blatant. (This is not smut). Gore is ticked because combat it semi realistic, super powered people will tear and rend normal opponents apart. Strong Language is ticked because some characters will be swearing.

Each chapter will be between 2200 and 2800 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500 words). [Note i do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 word longer]
Updates will be on Tue, Thur and maybe Sat or Sun.

Hellooo, well not to make this too long I'll just say that this is written for fun. So there will be mistakes of all kinds.

English is not my native language and I don't speak it fluently let alone write it this is mostly done with translator so have mercy plus it's my first time writing, sep, the perfect mix for a disaster but there's faith.

The cover art is not mine and if the artist wants to remove it I will gladly do it.

I accept constructive criticism, suggestions or ideas from anyone. <<less

Synopsis: While unabashedly erotic, the story hopes to tap into a variety of emotions of a diverse cast of characters. It mainly follows Vieno, who is related to the infamous incubus, right as he moves into a new home run by a Yuki-Onna.... But...what is the strange infatuation she has for the MC? And what is that sound? What is she doing with her hands?
Oh my how lewd~~~... more>>

Details:
The format is more episodic. I have plans to do a prequel novel of Vieno that maintains the eroticism but is done in a more linear, story driven format. It will probably take a LITRPG/adventure type format.

Despite the above, "My Landlord Can't Stop M********ing!!" is part of the River of Falling Snow canon. Like the "adult" mod, dlc, or patch of the universe. <<less

It was a freak accident. Someone ran the light at an intersection and before I knew it... my world turned black. But I didn't die then. Instead, I was forced to lament and regret over all of my failures. Lament about how this so-called genius was lower than dirt even at the very end.... more>>

And that should have been it. After my consciousness faded, I should have disappeared.

But I woke up.

James Brooks is an average high schooler in New Atlantis, a city teeming with superhumans. Despite his dad being an ex-hero and his sister Ren a genius scientist, James often feels overlooked, seeking refuge as a top battle mage in "Endless Fantasy II," an online game.... more>>

His life takes an unexpected turn when he walks away unharmed from a superhuman fight. James discovers he can morph into his game character, but with a catch: his avatar is a female demoness.

The setting is an alternate 2013 shaped by a Cold War experiment gone wrong, granting a fraction of people superpowers. However, this story isn't about superheroes; it's a blend of Mystical and Urban Fantasy, focusing on magical and mysterious elements that stay hidden from most of the world.

Anyways, as I'm not a native English speaker and this will be an experiment on my part, I will rely on AI as an editor & proofreader. If this doesn't bother you, then feel free to stay. Also, keep in mind this is my first attempt at writing something, so the way I write might change as I experiment with different styles.
