The Universe is the perfect dish, cooked and prepared by an Almighty hand, and Lei will slowly learn the greater truth that is the Dao of Cooking.... more>>

It's hard to adapt to a new world, especially to an ancient one. So when Lei found himself in a Xianxia world, he thought the best thing to do was to go against all these strange things with the only thing he knew -- Cooking. Though, he had to admit, the hovering screen before his eyes that told him to 'Feed People' certainly helped in that decision.

Come along, and watch as Lei starts with a makeshift stall, then dives into a sect full of cultivators, and conquers the heart of these cold-blooded people who can command the winds and the skies with his tasty, a touch too strange for this world, dishes.

What to expect:
- Gourmet chef cooking seasoned wings, heart-warming soups, grilling spiritual beasts.
- A sort of different system that has complex skills.
- This is not a slice-of-life story.
- Our MC will cultivate, although a touch more different than others.
- The LitRPG elements will be light. There won't be any stats. <<less

Hullo, there. My name is Daisuke Colen, born in England by two English parents. Why do I have a Japanese given name, you ask? It's a long story. ... more>>

Do you mind if I ask you a sort of.... odd question? No? Right.

Suppose you were feeling homesick, so you decide to skive baseball practice. Along the way home, you run into a handful of delinquents, who try to give you a hard time. You easily dispatch with them and go about your day.

Would you expect to get never involved with them again? Or you expect them to kidnap your cousin, which leads to you dueling their boss, which then leads to you becoming a target of an even greater group of "delinquents", which then leads you into joining a secret organisation?

You'd expect the former? Yeah, I did as well.
Rather unfortunately, I got the latter.

This is how my enigmatic life begins to unravel. <<less

Star had always run from her past, too afraid to look over her shoulder and find it lurking there. When she discovered she was bound to a dragon—things got more complicated. Now, corporate and government agents also chase after her—giving her another reason to run.... more>>

There’s no fleeing some battles—it’s a lesson that was bound to catch up, eventually.

<Note>

This story is a combination of perspectives (1st, 2nd, and 3rd). Star's is in 3rd, the dragon is 2nd, and Prometheus is 1st. This is intentional and there's going to be a shifting of this over the course of the story. So, it's not an error, rather, it's a feature. :) <<less

Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside.  After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whole world is flipped on its head when the heavens crack like stained glass, and 1/150th of the world's population is transformed into creatures and granted an unusual Leveling System.  A large subsection of the world population is turned into beasts, fae, or aberrant people, while others are granted powers from historical and mythological figures, such as King Arthur, Saint Charlemagne, or the dreaded Leviathan.  Wait, now there are alien toads... more>> popping out of Crystal Gateways?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This series will not solely be centered on the MC, as I intend to have it focus on a few characters depending on the arc and situation at hand.

Simultaneously, once I get far enough into the story, I intend to add in side stories. Once I am that far in, I intend to add in side stories. Furthermore, once I add enough side stories, I will add a page with a list of side stories apart from the main story. I will add a link to it once I’ve reached that point.

Fair warning!

Long ago in a galaxy far far away...... more>>

A young girl is brought into the Jedi Order to be raised as one of their own. A young girl with memories from another time, another land.

Soune Argent wants a quiet life.... more>>

However, such a privilege is rare on Durendel.

Pockets of civilisation are kept in check by growth-hungry corporations and a stern-handed government. Any and all actions are watched by an orbital ring ready to stifle conflicts before they can start, scouring outcasts and undesirables from the face of the scarred planet. All for the sake of maintaining peace.

Soune Argent is a victim of this peace. Narrowly saved from the destruction of her home as a child, she was raised in and taught to survive the chaotic lands that litter the world. Now alone once more, she seeks to claim a spot for herself within an Oasis' and finally live a life free from struggle. The path to peace is hardly a straight one, fraught with conflicts and conspiracy. Along the way, Soune discovers she isn't quite as alone as she thought, or that the history of the world is as straightforward as it seems.

To survive on Durendel is a struggle, to thrive even moreso. To be happy is a fight against the system, a fight worth picking.

Inspired by a myriad of settings and stories spanning from the peaks of high fantasy and sci-fi to low, grounded character driven dramas; Stray Stars blends dark fantasy elements into a conflict-fueled future, focusing on the people who struggle against that world and the connections that are forged from it. <<less
