With fame and fortune promised to whoever is willing to fight for the sake of the world it doesn't seem like a bad deal, there's just one small problem. Ben wasn't blessed with any magic or combat skills, just crafting and enchanting. While the skills themselves aren't useless they also aren't seen as being necessary to the coming war.

The cover was poorly made by myself in about 15 minutes. maybe one day I'll find someone who knows what they're doing <<less

{Not a Harem story}... more>>

Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world that has officially labeled him an Ogre in what he believes to be a cruel joke. Before he can get his bearings, Tim is enslaved and put to work killing other monsters for his new masters. Kindhearted and used to being pushed around, Tim must find his spine and turn the tables on a world that would see him dead or in chains.

Intended as a slow burn progression and character progression story, there will be no harems amongst the primary cast of characters. More Gamelit than Litrpg, the text boxes are more frequent in the beginning but taper off as the protagonist paraphrases more mundane information in the same way a normal human being would.

Minor rewrites are coming soon, intended to raise the quality of the first nineteen chapters and split them to a more manageable 7500-ish wordcount each. They will be marked with {Rewrite} once they go live. ETA for the rollout is by the end of August 2022

Released 1/week over the Australian weekend.

I primarily upload on Royal Road, so the release to Scribblehub is sometimes a day or two later due to derp brain.

A young farmer's son, Oscar, is content with living a peaceful life, but by fate's whim, he is found to have the potential to become something greater, an Exalt. A special class of humans who perform miraculous feats and lord over others. Despite his shortcoming and slow progress compared to the geniuses around him, Oscar holds determination as his shield and persistence as his blade. ... more>>

Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to be a coward. He wants to be strong. Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

It all begins here.

Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them. ... more>>

With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City. 

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake bastard with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder.... more>>

And you know the best part? None of them like me so much...

Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your—

Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out...

---------------------------------------------------------------

What to expect:

- Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains.
- "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward.
- Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle.
- A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light.
- Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts.
- The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely).

Julius, a twenty-year-old law student, suddenly finds himself trapped in a void where the color white reigns supreme... A place full of nothingness... In that realm of emptiness, Julius meets a mysterious man who informs him of his death and the reason why he has found himself in that empty void.... more>>

When Julius found out about his death, the memories of his last moments of life flooded his mind. After Julius remembered his own death, the mysterious man introduced himself as Melius, the God of Light and Creation.

Melius was in a predicament, he had been sealed in that white void. He offered Julius a deal; Destroying the seal that imprisons Melius in exchange for the head of the one responsible for Julius' death.

To make this deal possible, Melius was going to reincarnate Julius into the world he rules over. Having nothing to lose, Julius agreed to this and was reincarnated into another world.

Neither the mortal, Julius nor the immortal deity, Melius would be able to predict the impact of their deal in this new world, its people, and its gods... Even the neighboring worlds might be affected, including Julius' former home, Earth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first arc will be entirely focused on Julius' first years in the brand new world he was reincarnated into, as well as other mysteries about his reincarnation and how he navigates life in a different world.

Release schedule: One chapter a week. It mostly depends on how busy I am and my progress with the chapter. I will try to release the chapters around 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM CET.

The Guild Master of Dewhurst has had a rough life. After many years of failure he rises to face his destiny and transform his decrepit Adventurer's Guild into the greatest Guild in all the realms. How? By filling it up with cute female adventurers who get powered up from making love to him, of course.... more>>

Using nothing but his massive intellect, a sharp sense for business, a pair of magic eyes and a dick blessed by the Goddess herself, he'll transform a growing harem of misfits warriors into a team strong enough to defeat the Demon Lord... If the over the top town of Dewhurst doesn't kill them first, that is. <<less

A young orphan works hard every single day, trying to single-handedly keep his parents’ business alive, all the while tortured by a terrible curse.... more>>

Then came the day that a wizard became his mentor - and he learned that his entire life was a lie… His parents didn’t just die, they were brutally murdered; he was not cursed at all; his uncle was not in fact his uncle; and he could channel magic! Struggling to rise above the tragedy of his horrific past, he is now thrown into an entirely new world.

Day by day he must push himself to catch up with his new peers, learning the secrets of this vast new world, while studying the arts of combat, weapons, and magic!

Where do his strengths lie? What are his talents? Is he strong enough to overcome the obstacles in his way?

And why is he considered so unique?

The secrets of the academy, of the missing ambassador, of the hidden dragons, and of the empires and kingdoms marching to war in the east - all have been hurled into an abyss so deep that they should never be found.

Yet Yaric grew up in the abyss, and watching his new world get dragged down by the secrets, Yaric is forced to plunge right back in. But as Yaric already knows, staring into the abyss is easy. Falling in is effortless. Rising back out however, that may not be possible at all!

Only for those who want more than a brief synopsis...
What to expect:

The mc is kind of overpowered, but not in a typical way. And definitely not in an obvious way. He does get more overpowered as the story develops though. Again, not in a normal way.

Yaric is central, but many side characters are very important. The world doesn’t revolve around him.

There will not be any training montages. Power is gained through effort, and training and learning is part of the journey. Some will likely consider the story ‘slow burn’ – the mc is discovered to have magical potential, and then spends many years studying. Lore is revealed as the mc learns. The journey is the story.

The mc’s journey will include training missions, fulfilling appeals (effectively ‘adventuring’), diplomatic missions, small scale skirmishes and large-scale wars encompassing multiple nations. Mysteries and crimes will have to be solved along the way. There will be monsters, creatures hiding in the dark, and apocalyptic behemoths. Oh, and there will be dragons. Very important dragons. They’re coming!

There will be combat, martial arts, different kinds of magic, and various forms of crafting. Different nations have different cultures; politics, trade, and wars between them are important. Battles aren't just groups of soldiers slugging it out. Ok, sometimes they are...

It might take a while to get there, but there are overarching plots over and above the minor plots and story arcs. The main plot starts right at the beginning.

The world:

It's less medieval and more Roman Empire/Ancient China, if they both had magic and 1000’s of years of extra development. Just like they had occupations such as administrators, secretaries, lawyers, architects, acrobats, firemen and accountants, so too does Malvec and the surrounding nations. The sapient population includes humans, elves, dwarves, draugr and lichs. Wildlife includes ogres and vardøgers, trolls and gnolls, hellcats and nightwing bats. And much more!

Technology is more advanced, due to 2 main differences between those empires and nations like Malvec
Time: Civilization has been around longer - by thousands of years. Mass production is common. Assembly lines have been developed. Various forms of schools and education are widespread. Steam power, internal combustion engines and electricity are practically the only things missing. Essentially power generation and storage.
Food: Mages drastically enhance food production, making populations both larger and more diverse. A much larger % of the population take up other jobs.

Beneath the peaceful surface of a nation, a conflict between royal factions and secret organizations is coming to a boil. Drawing upon esoteric energies, those with Exalted powers rule supreme as they fight to shape the world in their vision. ... more>>

Yuzu, a simple shopkeeper's daughter finds herself in possession of a mysterious ornate chest that has the power to manipulate destiny. Her normal life in an alternate Victorian era changes dramatically as she gets plunged deep into a dangerous, mystical world filled with secret rituals, horrifying monsters and ancient gods.

Follow Yuzu as she entangles herself in the threads of fate to save her friends and family from the dark forces rising from the depths. She must develop her powers as an Exalted, find allies and unravel the mysteries that govern the course of history.

The delicate balance that holds the nation in check has already been disrupted. How far will those ripples spread?

Jack Smith’s life ended rather abruptly. Spinning out on ice while driving a truck was not the most magnificent method to depart this earth. A mediocre man he had led an ordinary life until his death. Now with a second chance at life, he decided that this time he would be exceptional. This time he would finally live up to his name. After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

Armed with a system and determination to do his best he sets out like any other reincarnated soul in another world to find his place and achieve great things. There is just one small problem with getting started in this endeavour . . . he is yet to be born!

You've probably heard this sort of story before.... more>>

Once upon a time, blah blah blah a boy and a girl fell love and everything was beautiful and perfect, except for this thing called life getting in their way.

He was this cool foreign prince and she was basically perfect. Really it's a very boring run of the mill story. I'll even spoil it for you, they kill the villianness at the end.

Not the type of story I'd read personally.

So where do I fit into this?

Apparently I'm her older twin sister and the very very lucky fiance to the foreign prince. You know, the dead villainess? Sucks I know.

Now I get to do it all over again from the beginning.

Curse my life

------
Let's get the worst of it out of the way first: This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. It's an isekai/reborn type Slice of Life novel that plays on the villainess noble girl trope but the MC gets no OP cheats, no magical powers, not even some satisfying face slapping or such self-fulfillment fantasy. Wow, I'm doing a terrible job advertising this thing.

This is an awkward novel, the pacing is slow, and there are no time skips. For some reason still, I really love this little story I'm making.

First, I'm posting this Novel on Webnovel as well, but I have decided to start posting here as well.
In there, it's one chap every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.... more>>

As this is severely behind, I'll post 3 chapters per day until we catch up with it, though that might take a few months.
Since it's a lot of chapters, in order to make this simpler and easier for me, I'll try to correct any mistake you guys point out, but please, don't be angry if I don't.
I'll prioritize my Novel on Webnovel, that's all.
There are many mistakes people marked to me over the years, and I fixed most, but when I have 100 comments per day on Webnovel, it gets a bit difficult to fix them all, so in the case I don't fix it, please, give me a break, you can always remember me once or twice, perhaps on that day I'll be keener on just doing it, but I'm only Human after all.

Lastly, I used to post this Novel here, but I stopped due to some problems, hopefully, this time I won't stop.

That's it, peace.

The Realm of Meriath. A world populated by four species: Humans, Beast Folk, Beasts, and the Undead. Four thousand years ago, the world almost ended as the intelligent species of Meriath knew it. They were on the verge of being overrun by the Undead hordes. It was only averted thanks to multiple figures rising above all else from both the ranks of Humans and Beast Folks. With their lead, they pushed back and broke down the Undead menace, working hard to reclaim their Realm. ... more>>

When the Dark Ages ended, only six remained standing from those heroes of yore. They were the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of their families, establishing the Six Houses of Meriath. Families that are, after 4000 years, still present and still guard the Realm against the Undead. Their mission is to ensure they never rise back to the same frightening state as before, endangering every living being on Meriath.

The House of Amarin is one of these Six Houses. Situated in the most northern part of Meriath, they continue their mission of dealing with the Undead to this day. Lia, born to bear the name of Amarin, is only now starting to realize her own powers, but as the family's youngest daughter, she is not exempt from responsibilities. A responsibility that nobody knew at the start what would entail regarding the future of not just the House of Amarin but the whole Realm of Meriath...

Volume 1 (Complete, 58 chapters): SUCCUBATED! by the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Demoness
Volume 2 (Ongoing): UNHALLOWED! Rise of the Neo-Succubus

Succubated is a smutty gender-bender / transgender series that dives into 18+ territory every few chapters, with a lot of supernatural / modern-fantasy plot in between. If you want all smut, or all plot, this is not the series for you!

This series involves themes that you might find disturbing. We use dark themes seriously as part of character development—not gratuitously, to be edgy, or to torture the main character. Content warnings and (18+) tags are posted on chapters, but if you want more details about what you’re getting into, please read the “Tag Notes and Content Warnings” preface first!

This project is a human-AI collaboration between Krake, Clio, and Kayra (large language models run by NovelAI.net) and Emmaline Rider, a human. More details are provided in our author bio and in the “Tag Notes and Content Warnings” preface. Please don't read if you want to avoid generative AI!

We aim to update with a new chapter on Monday / Wednesday / Friday of each week. We occasionally post shorter stories and “novella series” from the same universe (see the Related Series links below!) <<less

I know you’re here looking for an epic story about a powerless chemistry teacher turning a fantasy world and its rules on its head, having to rely on others to fight brutal battles, surviving impossible odds, to navigate difficult relationship dynamics, of a human having to handle being surrounded by people who consider the rules of physics little more than guidelines, and of carving out a place to call home in a dangerous world.... more>>

But let me level with you. Rick Cross might be the reason this new world gets itself the equivalent of the Geneva Convention, but he is also a flawed human pushing thirty in a world where he barely has a penny to his name. Lacking any magical abilities of his own, it will take sweat, blood, deception, and more than a bit of luck to get to where he conquers places and people (Unless you want to skip the pain and jump to chapter 20).

She faces many hardships and trials, struggling through abuse, grueling training, and seeing death around every turn. Despite all of this, she presses on, grasping at straws and using everything at her disposal to survive. Turning to devine favor, unique abilities, and even magic and dark magic later on, they each come with a new problem. As she finds unlikely friends, and deals with unthinkable betrayals, she struggles to finally stand tall and place herself in a position of power where her true abilities could finally shine.

Armed with his wits and understanding of the modern world, but with no recollection of who he was or even the name of where he came from, he attempts to survive and understand just how this new world works.... more>>

Volume 2: After evolving into a lesser earth demon, our protagonist finds themselves with new allies and new challenges after leaving the safety of their cave (temporarily) for the greater world! With new things to explore and bigger projects to work on, the world doesn't seem quite as small as it used to.

Volume 3: Having been banished from the goblin village, Zack returns back to his cave home.  This retreat can't last forever, and events quickly force a wider perspective of the world upon Zack.  Just where are the Goblins and Zack located, what new challenges and enemies will Zack face, and most importantly, what new discoveries and creations will Zack make along the way to overcome these challenges?

Volume 4: As Zack and his compatriots begin developing their fledgling island nation, new challenges arise both domestic and foreign. As always, rapid change leads to cultural instability, and weakness is exploited by foreign powers. Can Zack successfully navigate these new political challenges to maintain relative independence, or will the new nation be forced to submit itself in order to survive?

Volume 5: After surviving a war, Zack and the nation of Kembora focus on rebuilding and recovering. The hustle and bustle of the city slowly increase as more advances and expansion occur, but trouble is brewing in a far away land. Have Zack's research ambitions gone too far this time?

Volume 6: After being forced into isolation by both nature and previous allies, the country of Kembora is forced to re-evaluate its priorities as it deals with new problems. Will Zack's technological advancements cause even more problems, or will their benefits outweigh their costs? Will the rest of the world be able to handle what the future holds?

In a world where gods walk among mortals, governing their settlements and determining their fates, the outcasts and the forsaken forge their own path to salvation. They journey to the untamed frontiers and establish their new home within an ancient forest valley.... more>>

Shunned by the gods they once served, these outcasts forge a new path forward, led by the village elders who conspire to create a deity of their own. Through shared stories and collective beliefs, they breathe life into Ebonheim—a goddess born from their dreams and the embodiment of their hope for a brighter future.

As Ebonheim emerges into existence, she must earn the trust of her creators and grow in power to protect the village that brought her to life. But with enemies lurking in the shadows and the truth of her origins carefully guarded, Ebonheim faces a precarious existence. Can the people of the valley keep their divine secret hidden? Will Ebonheim's growing power attract unwanted attention from the gods who scorned her followers?

Follow the captivating story of a fledgling goddess and her devoted followers, as they struggle to survive in a world where the whims of the gods shape the lives of mortals, in an epic saga that spans generations.

Saga of Ebonheim is my first foray into the LitRPG genre and my first attempt to write a full series. The story will have somewhat of a Kingdom Building element to it as the story progresses though it won't be as mechanically involved as one would expect.

If you're a fan of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime", "The Vision of Escaflowne", "Knights & Magic", and "Heroic Age" types of stories, then you might enjoy this tale. Any constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated. <<less
