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

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.

Binding herself to a monster was the only option Lyra had to save the woman she’d started to love. Worse, as part of the bargain it was ensured that Lyra’s magic, her soul songs, are cursed and sealed. To call on them without permission will inflict horrid pain that damages her soul.... more>>

Her new master is also the most gorgeous and terribly striking woman Lyra has ever laid eyes on, and this monster knows how to use that to break her new charge's will. Now Lyra must learn new ways to weave her magical songs into dark and agonizing melodies, else prove herself nothing more useful than a soul to be devoured.

What To Expect!

1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the worlds. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Her affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
5. Weekly updates, but also extra weekly updates because this writer has no self-control and needs help.

Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.

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.

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
