"Survival of the fittest is easier said than done...why couldn't I have been reborn a bit bigger, huh?"... more>>

If waking up in a new world wasn't bad enough, an idealistic teen starts her new life as a newborn dragon not by being embraced by a loving family, but having to escape two hungry kobolds wanting some grilled lizard for breakfast. Now, status screens obscure her vision in a hostile forest filled with vicious magical monsters, as two concerning Titles welcome her to her new life.

Equipped with fragmented memories from her past life and the game-like mechanics of her new reality, the young dragon must face trials and tribulation, undeterred by the reaper's scythe inches from her neck. Despite her challenges, she is determined to find civilization. For nothing will stop her from fulfilling her one true desire: to become an Idol.

Matthew wasn't sure what to expect when he decided to end his life. He thought maybe something along the lines of either the pearly gates or eternal flames. He definitely wasn't expecting to wake up to the sight of a crimson forest and a castle on the hill, nor did he expect to end up in a world where women chased men and men let themselves be chased. He certainty wishes his gamer system was stronger though.... more>>

Pokémon. A world of childhood dreams and fantasy. A world where kids get to bond with unique animals, go on fantastical journeys, explore the unexplored, and test the strength of their bonds in the heat of battle! But in the end, that is all it is: Fantasy. ...Or, at least, that was how it was supposed to be.... more>>

Waking up in a Pokémon world would be any 10-year-olds dream! ...Not so much for an 18-year-old. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Pokémon games and even played the new ones occasionally, but it was not my entire life like it had been when I was a kid. I grew up and moved on to other things; Like hot girls, music, and other games. Even so, Pokémon would always hold a special place in my heart.

So, imagine my surprise when I suddenly woke up to find myself living in a real Pokémon world! One day I was an 18-year-old college kid, and the next I was a baby living in what was supposed to be a fantasy. To top it all off, I retained all my past memories...well, sort of... The only problem was that this world was only vaguely like the one I knew from the games, manga, or anime. To my complete astonishment, I found that it was much more...realistic. It was like someone took all of the Pokémon media and lore and smashed it together with reality until it created something that kinda made sense.

This is the story of how I, Finn Cambridge, once Max Fraiser, was born into an unsettlingly realistic Pokemon world as the son of Jessie and James from Team Rocket. This is the story of how I became a Pokémon Master.

And I formulated a plan.

This guys was stupid.
Moronics.

Why would you try to weaken your warriors ?
Why don't you try to make them stronger ?

I could use their technology to do so much.

So much more.

Reinforcement in combat ?
Re-supply in action ?
Overpowered weapons and tech ?
Virtual training room ?
HUB-helmet ?

Load the AC-DC soundtrack and join the winning team.

What do you mean the fight is over now ?

You didn't really think I looked how to do all of that without The PLAN ?

Tighten your belt and grab your socks, it's time to playback the game.

She is seen as a rare treasure by many, and if anyone finds out about her true identity, then it is a game over.... more>>

Using the excuse of ‘going on a mission’ to explore the green lands, she ventures out of the sea to an exciting adventure where she meets many different people.

And on beautiful land, she meets an odd creature.

He looks like a human, but is too handsome, too silent, too cold and most importantly, has an amazing voice that can be compared to hers!

This must be what her father told her about special beings! Forget about searching for the stolen pearl! Forget about rescuing the mermaid guard! She has to follow him and observe his daily life!

She thought it was going to be easy...

But wait, what is this talk about becoming an idol? Does she really have to enter that TV program to keep seeing her target? Fine, she doesn't mind, as long as it will help her see him then she doesn't mind! <<less

Follow the journey of a young Sara Weiss' journey into the world of pop music and idols.... more>>

Through a series of misunderstandings, Sara finds herself somehow auditioning to become an idol for the next girl group being deputed under the luxurious Petel Entertainment company. Through this twist of fate, a spark is lit inside the heart of Sara and the path to becoming an idol begins.

Author's Note: This will be a rather casual story, don't expect arrogant rivals or evil corporations after the main lead/group. My desire to write this story came from 1. being unable to find any other story of a similar nature (of decent length at least) 2. recently becoming a fan of K-Pop which is an obvious inspiration. 3. To write something casual in my free time, so don't expect countless updates.

Note on the world setting: The story takes place in a fictional world and while there will be some resemblance to idol culture in South Korea, most things will be vastly different. There will be no hierarchy system or anything like that for example and the culture will be less conservative in general. There are a couple of reasons for this, one simply being my hesitation to write about something I am mostly ignorant about, but also because I just like to write about fictional landscapes that I can shape as I please.

Note on romance: I currently have no inclination to include any romance at the moment, though if I do, it will highly be likely that it would be a girl love romance, as I'm a fan of those. But for now, no romance in these early stages of writing. I'll update the genre and tags accordingly if this changes. <<less
