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

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

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.

After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

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

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

Parturient is written by The Wolf Among the Woods, an author who doesn't use Scribble Hub, and posted with permission by KrakenRiderEmma. It takes place in the same supernaturally-infested universe as KrakenRiderEmma stories like Succubated, Redraw Me, SYNCHRONY::OVERRIDE and Samira's Curse. (See related series, below!) Unlike those other stories... this story is 100% human-written, no AI involved! Parturient will be updated whenever The Wolf Among the Woods finishes a new chapter.

Tag notes: There will be many themes in this story that are going to be hard to read by design. Gore, murder, loss, dysphoria, phobes of all sorts, identity crisis, humiliation, and the like. All of it will be mentioned ahead of time in the Chapter Notes. Especially hard chapters will have warnings at the beginning of the chapter. <<less

Mark has been reincarnated into a dead town in a bog, one that has been recently destroyed and occupied by ravenous undead. They disappear every day and return again at night, mindless and hungry, hunting for any survivors. He’ll need to use cunning and subterfuge to avoid them, because since he was transported into the body of a child, he can’t level up. At least not yet.... more>>

Bog Standard. It means “totally normal”, right? But for the small towns found in these bogs, there's no quick rescue and not much trade. Everything has to be made to last. To them, it means "excellent quality". Mark will have to prove he's Bog Standard if he hopes to survive.

This is an Isekai of excellent quality. It’s a progression fantasy set in a LitRPG world, rags to riches with an eventual OP main character. The pacing is slow-burn, incremental progression, sometimes slice-of-life, punctuated by moments of intense violence and possibly traumatic content. <<less

Fukaze Honzo is a 16-year-old student that frequently struggles with... well existing. Set in the rather 'boring' suburbs of Takabata, in Nagoya, Honzo has a hard time trying to come to terms with himself, despite his clear privileged status in society and a friendship group. He suffers from episodes of depersonalization, with him feeling like an outsider within his own body. As he starts the second year, he finally recognizes that this gloomy and negative personality might need to change, or at least improve his outlook. Just as fortune may have it, there's an idealist, maybe even naive, senpai who invites him, and his friends to a brand new school club. ... more>>

It's called the Culture & Travel Club. A club all about making the community a better place and learning all about the world. And that all starts here, in Nagoya. Despite this, Honzo still needs to navigate the absurdities of living. One day, he might start appreciating himself. Perhaps, even someone else, too.

---------------
Warning: There are some topics that might be a bit upsetting. The characters talk about murder/manslaughter and crime as well as a vehicular accident.

There is no pattern to dropping anymore but I try on Tuesdays. This is also the first web-novel I've written, so I really have no idea if it's even adequate. I literally only started writing for fun and a month later, I have now written enough for at least someone else to read. I'm really just talking about genuine social issues that apply to both my home nation and, not trying to be patronizing, Japan too within the confines of a romcom that's wholesome enough for someone to probably ignore the issues raised.

Thanks, if you're reading this and I hope you at least had a modicum of enjoyment, if you do read the story.

Also, I know Fukaze Honzo's name makes literally no sense <<less

A young man from Earth is living his life as best as he could, though it seems boring. Despite his efforts, no rewards awaited him. Fed up with everything, he often found himself wasting time. His routine was monotonous: wake up, go to school, come back home, and indulge in whatever entertainment the internet offered until late into the night. After a few hours of sleep, the cycle would repeat.... more>>

This pattern continued until a fateful encounter. During his second year of college, on his way home, he came across an injured kitty on the roadside. He tried to assist, but it appeared to be too late for the little creature. Or so he believed.

In an unexpected twist, before he could act further, he was kidnapped. The abductor? A house. The kitty wasn't spared either, and both of them disappeared into the structure, never to be seen on Earth again.

Suddenly, the young man found himself in the ancient House of Magus. This wasn't a part of the material world; it seemed to exist either in the spiritual realm or somewhere in between.

Now, witness this young man's adventures as he encounters the beings that inhabit this house and its surroundings. As he tries to settle into his role as the housekeeper, he must also manage the myriad challenges thrown his way.

"Wait, what do you mean the kitty was the primary target? Am I just collateral damage?"

A journey filled with amusement, self-discovery, and a fair share of frustrations with his unconventional tenants begins.
