Who was 'I'? Why had I stepped into his shoes? 'I' didn't know. But I knew one thing. Even if I wasn't the real deal... from here on out, I would be Seol Jihu. And I was going to do things my way.

An indulgent self-insert story into the Second Coming of Gluttony with the usual power trip fantasy stuff. Some things change, others remain the same, and the end game... Well, small ripples become huge waves.

I've had this lying around for a while and kept adding to it for fun here and there, but since it's gotten pretty big, I figured I'd post it for people to read and get some enjoyment out of it if they can.

Enjoy!

Sara wakes up in a place she doesn't recognise, not remembering what happened to her, or how she might have gotten there. And soon discovers she isn't in a body she recognises either. Not even a human body!
The world she finds herself in is from a newly released VRMMORPG called Moorhold Online, and she has to figure out how she wants to live her new life.... more>>

I started posting this on AO3, and that will probably remain my priority, but formatting options are somewhat limited over there, so I wanted to see if this place would offer more in terms of letting me make the story to look as I want it to.

The text is somewhat updated over the original edition, but it isn't quite a v2.0. More a v1.1.

I am really not familiar with how this site works, so I don't know if I've handled the tags and everything correctly.
Real life issues have interfered with things on the writing/posting front, but I hope to still be able to post once or twice a week. Hopefully things will pick back up eventually. <<less

An anomaly meets his end after a short, miserable life where his emotional capabilities were forcibly stripped from him.... more>>

While his soul was on its way to the cycle of reincarnation, it was intercepted by an outerversal goddess who happened to take interest in its peculiarity.

Offered three limited wishes and a choice of a modern world to reincarnate into, he (now she–

“Wait… What do you mean by ‘now she’?! Don’t just gloss over such an important detail, goddammit!” An adorable baby’s voice echoes throughout the room.

He, now she, experiences a normal childhood for the first time–well, as normal as it could be–while preparing herself for her upcoming adventure in a third world.

Making new friends, spending time with her family, hacking into secret labs–Cough! Investing countless hours into learning everything possible, she meets her second end due to a fated accident.

She (now it–

“Like I said before, don’t gloss over something like this, idiot!! This is a matter of life and death for me! …You’re just messing around with pronouns at this point.” A fish roars in a cryptic bubble language.

She, now it, finally sets out on a grand, thrilling adventure where her insane luck, prophetic intuition, and an unexpectedly nice evil goddess are her best companions!

Watch how she weaves around the agendas of some unfathomable divine beings, destroys entire ecosystems for food, protects all whom she treasures from harm at all costs, and somehow gets involved in a three-way war between humans, demons, and elves!

I'm not a native English speaker/writer, so don't expect expert level writing. If you find any writing mistake, you can point them out in a comment and I'll fix them asap!

I started writing this fanfic out of boredom and due to the lack of "So I'm a Spider, So What?" fanfics on the internet, so don't expect an award-winning level plot with gripping . I would appreciate constructive criticism and new ideas to add to the mix.

The whole gender bender thing is just there cause I wanna write about a female protagonist even though I don't know much about women's life perspective. You can just ignore it and consider this a fem mc fanfic.

I will mostly focus on the "So I'm a Spider, So What?" world, but the protagonist might go to other worlds for a number of reason. In such cases, I'll either create an entire new fic where I post such arcs, or normally add them here with an attached tag behind the chapter name.

I try to keep a semi-regular update schedule, but I keep in mind that I'm college student with limited time and a busy unstable schedule. Missed or delayed uploads will be fairly common.

The elements in this fanfic are not mine except for my own additions to the worldview, specifically (The protagonist, the new monsters, the OCs etc...) and they all belong to the author of the wonderful novel "So I'm a Spider, So What?", Okina Baba.

What would you do if you got summoned to another world without your consent?... more>>

How about... Getting summoned by a dark cult and at the same time, losing something within you that will make you question if you are still yourself?

Casimir Kismet is just your regular weeb who has a hobby of cosplaying, has a loving adorable little sister, supportive parents, and friends with a common hobby as him.

An ordinary but content life if he must say.

But, not anymore.

Everything changed when he got involved in a disastrous dilemma of getting summoned to another world by a federation of dark cultists and turning him into something he never had imagined he would become. At the same time, he obtained a skill that gave him the ability to copy skills by just seeing them cast.

Changing his life forever.

Every coin has two sides, there is no such thing as pure evil or absolute righteousness. And if one is evil or righteous, it cannot be easily recognized.

But, the real question is, which side would you let come out the most?

His CONQUEST is about to begin.

But before that, let me tell you these fair warnings.

This is not a story of a hero. You have been warned.

Not everything is actually what they seem. Do not be fooled.

And most of all...

Don't show him your skills. <<less

But this story will focus on a MAN-MADE Tumor.

Abused and abandoned, Portia must fight in order to survive the new world she has found herself in.... more>>

Portia has lived a difficult life on Earth.
Born with a large birthmark covering her left eye, she is seen as 'imperfect' by her parents, unlike her sister Marigold, who can do no wrong.
Throughout her life, Portia has suffered tribulation after tribulation as she showed no talent in any subject she was tested for.
Her imperfections were only worsened by the environment that surrounded her:
Parents who demanded excellence; A sister who was wholly exceptional; and a society that mocked her efforts.
Every day is hellish when it seems that no matter how hard you try, it is ultimately meaningless.

One day, however, Portia and the rest of her class were suddenly transported to the world of Effigia.
Thinking this is a second chance for her, Portia looks upon the situation favourably.
Only to be cast away and sent to her death due to her lack of ability.

Left for dead Portia has nothing.
Her hopes of surviving are quickly destroyed when she is almost killed by a monster that appears from the surrounding forest.
Portia resigns herself to death as she loses against even the weakest of monsters: A slime

Only this encounter will not be her end; rather, it is just the beginning.

Weight of Broken Promises is an attempt at trying to tell a story of making a life in a hostile and decaying world. Expect an incredibly long story and a slow burn.

Relationships will be plentiful but often strained, tested, and outright messy. (Also queer. Did I mention queer?)

This is a story less about answers and more about making the most of desperate circumstances. Complete with a lot of feeling delicate and vulnerable afterwards.

Partial knowledge of most story threads are widely known, debated, and often twisted to suit agendas or perspectives. Most characters are working from fragments of an understanding or trauma most resonant to them.

New Chapter every day!... more>>

The Legion Consortia Galacium was the greatest civilization that ever existed. It stretched across the galaxy, made up of more than ten thousand distinct human cultures with over two hundred thousand inhabited worlds.

Millenia in age it was connected through a system of extra-spacial conduits called The Mirror Maze. It was said that one could walk from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than a hundred steps. It was a marvel of technology, art and peace. Until The Macros came, and in a blink of an eye it was destroyed.

The Macros are beings of pure motivated Trinary code. They broke out of The Mirror Maze nearly instantaneously across the Consortia, inhabiting and taking control of the technologies from the most advanced worlds to the least. With no defenses capable of stopping them, they spread throughout the galaxy, destroying interstellar culture after culture.

Far from the center of galactic civilization, The Palmyr Century was isolated enough to get advanced word of The Macro invasion. The Palmyr was able to close it’s Mirror Maze gateways to the rest of the Consortia and walled off i’s populated worlds from the threat of The Macros. For more than two hundred and fifty years this protection stood, until it was breached by Althea Ram.

Althea Ram, born on the planet Emerald in Palmyr Century was Trinary coding prodigy. This skill lead her to be recruited by a group, the ZAT, an organization engaged in illegal research into Macro code. When found out, the ZAT was eliminated on orders of The First Centurion. Althea escaped with her newly created AI, Dorian.

A fugitive, she found herself betrayed time and time again. Ultimately she joined a group organized by the Rian telepath Shirae Valerian. Shirae made a deal with Althea for her own reasons and provided her with a Mirror Port which would allow her to reach the Lost Worlds outside The Palmyr. While she is driven to discover the secrets of The Macros, Althea is still drawn back to The Palmyr by the unfinished business that has defined her.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).
I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it.

I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works.

While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate.

I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself.

What if on everyone’s birthday, they got a skill card encapsulating their past year? And what if it's [Resist Hunger] seven years in a row?... more>>

Renalia had dreamt of gaining new abilities and lifting her parents out of poverty with her new Deck. But none of her skill cards help the family peat harvesting business.

Her Deck interests others though, as the Baron recruits her into his entourage. In a bigger town, she finds ways to make money, aided by her Deck’s hidden ability to loot skill cards from monsters.

The money helps but she has to learn that it does not wipe away all debts nor buy the happiness that she wants. And it certainly does not deal with the increasing appearance of monsters.

 - Slow-burn coming-of-age story with decks of skill cards.
 - Very light game mechanics with skill cards. No stat boxes, experience points, health, stamina, etc.
 - Young and weak protagonist, but proactive and not whiny. Eventually strong.
 - Please note that this story is more focused on characterization, rather than the deckbuilding and LitRPG elements. The latter is so light that I'm not even tagging it as a 'LitRPG'.
- Contains tragic events. Not meant for kids even though the MC is a child.

A man on a mission to conquer the world…of coffee!... more>>

Ryu, a 20-year-old shut-in working a dead-end job as a barista, dreams of a lavish lifestyle being waited on hand and foot (some cute maids would be nice). When a freak accident delivers Ryu an untimely death, he is unceremoniously transported to the world of Cerulia where knights, dragons, and faeries alike are not concepts of old or creatures of fantasy, but very real and particularly dangerous.

Ryu finds himself in the peaceful Kingdom of Kaffa, far from the conflicts of warring states. In this kingdom, the currency is coffee, status is coffee, and fame is coffee. It’s the dream of every aspiring Coffee Brewer here to join the ranks as one of the monarch’s Royal Brewers. It’s a place ripe for the taking with his skillset.

There’s just one catch: outside the kingdom lay untamed wilds that defy the laws of nature, populated by strange and savage flora and fauna. Sourced in these wilds, ingredients for coffee are difficult to come by, and foraging for them is a perilous undertaking. Can Ryu manage to navigate this seemingly treacherous lifestyle? Or will he succumb to the dangers that lurk within the Wildlands?

Testing out a new series. Feel free to comment with your thoughts as this is my first attempt at an Isekai/LitRPG (Please be nice). If people enjoy it I'll serialize it daily since chapters are fun and easy to write for me. <<less
