"What do you mean you're immortal?!"
"I mean... I can't stay dead for long..."

"Except a chihuahua with arthritis could beat me in a fight, if I wasn't able to run away"... more>>

It's said that a good cultivation story ends with the main character gaining immortality. Well, I say that that's boring, we all know the main character is going to survive everything, it's just a matter of how. Instead, why not start where most stories end? Well, I can't say that being weak isn't captivating in its own way; let's start there. Hated by the heavens, as is the cliche standard, what else... Broken engagement? Worry not, felines don't have to deal with the hassle of engagements nor the shame of a broken one.

What should an immortal cat do with his life? Simply finding fish to eat is hard enough, and now he's got to push past the limitations the heavens cursed him with? Well, what's a death or two to a cat that wants his fish, especially if it's a cat with more than nine lives. Eating tasty fish is the most important thing in the world after all. And he's got all the time in the world to find the best fish of them all.

(Author's info/comments about the subject) First off, I write whenever I have time and am not dealing with my numerous health issues, so... I write kinda slowly and sporadically. I'm sorry about that, I wish I could change it, but... I ain't got a magic wand. If I did, I would make myself healthy - well, no, I guess the first thing I'd do is make more magic wands, but assuming the standard rules for wishes - wait, this isn't something for the description of a novel. I'll end this tangent here, but I'm keeping it in because it might be funny to some people, and I'm not sure what to replace it with.

Put under Fantasy, might be more like Xianxia, but I wanted to be safe, as I'm not too familiar with the genres. Always looking for suggestions of tags I've missed. Some of the other tags won't play a role until later. <<less

Hi I'm ProbablyATurnip, just a guy doing some writing for fun. You can expect chapters twice a week from me on Sundays and Tuesdays while I experiment with figuring out the right number of commas to use at any given time. Let me know any thoughts you have I look forward to chatting in the comments

{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.

Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. ... more>>

Volume 1: Prologue to Adventure is now out on Amazon in Ebook and Audiobook!

Amazon Summary:

An intelligent young man embarks on an epic journey through a virtual world in the first volume of this near-future fantasy/adventure series.

Declan has never cared much for VRMMO games. No matter how many times his best friend, Matt, has urged him to get into the latest craze and escape the monotony of their broken-down reality, he always finds something about the build or the engine that drives him crazy. But when an AI hacks into his Somatic Implant and invites him into a secret virtual world, he can’t resist the chance to explore.

The lush, post-apocalyptic landscape of Gaia is unlike any simulation Declan has ever encountered, and it’s only the gateway to the even grander and more realistic world known as Indiri. Soon, Declan and Matt are going on wild quests as their avatars—Dustin the Magic Myconid and Noam the Tiefling Bard—navigating a world of travelers and fighters to make their way to Indiri’s high-fantasy lands.

But Declan’s journey isn’t always smooth. And as he encounters digital gods, dangerous guilds, and powerful forces attempting to use him as a pawn, he must learn to forge his own path . . . or risk becoming an NPC in his own life.

Prologue to Adventure is an explosive start to an intricately plotted fantasy series filled with heart-pounding adventure and enchanting characters

In a world where individuals possess extraordinary powers, Suijin Shimizu stands out with a rather unique mutation—his head is a spray bottle. ... more>>

Born into a society teeming with superhumans, one might assume that being a mutant is no big deal.

However, aspiring to become a hero when you're far from the conventional mold is an entirely different challenge.

Suijin Shimizu is determined to rise to the occasion and achieve the coveted position of being the number one hero.

One of the few who understands the true essence of Suijin's potential is his steadfast friend, Shoji.

Their deep bond is rooted in shared experiences and mutual support. Shoji, who himself grapples with the challenges of a unique quirk, recognizes the strength within Suijin's unconventional abilities.

Yet, the world outside their friendship can be unforgiving, casting judgment and doubt upon Suijin, labeling him as "inferior" in a society that values conventionality.

Step into the life of Suijin as he embarks on a remarkable journey, navigating the complexities of this super powered society.

Join him as he strives to fulfill his mission of becoming a hero against all odds. In a world where quirks define destinies, Shimizu's tale is a testament to the fiery young spirit and unending dreams! <<less

After three decades, Simon's life isn't what he hoped it would be. Taking his destiny into his own hands he decides to find another world where he can be the hero he was always meant to be. It turns out there's more to combat than having lightning reflexes with his controller though, and the path to being a hero is more brutal than he can imagine. Death after Death is a dark, sardonic take on the Isekai genre with roguelike elements. It explores some of the common tropes in a different light. ... more>>

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.

Unfortunately, it seems to be earth. Japan to be specific. Naruki City. Hmm sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe it was on the news or something. Oh well. Worse yet he has to learn Japanese from scratch, he has no special powers or system. What kind of lame reincarnation is this? No isekai, no powers, no system? Why even reincarnate. Also it seems to be the past, no smartphone and computers are backwards as all hell. Things just can't be worse.

That is until he unfortunately dies again. However as he lay there bleeding out and slowly dying he finally realised he wasn't reincarnated on the real Earth. This was the world of Bleach and he was attacked by White and infected by his hollowfication poison. Can't he catch a break? He doesn't even get a chance to become a regular spirit and maybe a Shinigami. Just a mindless hollow.

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!

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.

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

At the tender age of 11, a young boy without a name committed many gruesome acts. Murder, theft, arson, and the list continued to grow. He was born into this world pure and innocent and corrupted by the very monsters who birthed him, thus they turned him into one as well.... more>>

His abilities were unnatural; he was a monster in human form, a superhuman. At 11 years old, he could flip a grown man with ease. The only thing that was normal about him was his enjoyment of stories. He enjoyed watching and reading whatever he could get his hands on.

He didn't understand emotions, but he always felt something when he finished the jobs assigned to him. When he snuffed the life of a woman and her children, or when he burned the cars of men and women while they were still inside, or even when his own mother strangled him to death with a wire; the young boy felt a sensation in his gut that would never fully surface—a feeling that he desired to understand.

Then, following the death at his own mother's hands, he woke up in another world. More specifically, he was in the body of a baby. As he struggled to see what was around him, he heard a voice that was impossible not to recognize—"I AM HERE!" He heard the voice proudly proclaim.

Given a second chance at life for a reason he did not understand, will this young boy—now turned young girl—finally be able to experience a life worth living? Or will the ghosts of his past come to haunt him?
