In her countless years on the Zarine's Military Battle Zerg front lines, Franca, a special light mecha user, was suddenly tasked to train the new arrivals.... more>>

Upon seeing the recruits' faces that were more suitable to enter the Entertainment circle, Franca was stunned.

'Aren't these the guys who were on her past life's fragmented memories?'

The absurd fragmented memories that Franca categorized as her past life while growing up are starting to make sense.

'I'm in a novel.' Franca thought, making the recruits' training three times harder.

'I'm a villainess, the one who keeps interfering with the shous' (recruits) love advances towards the aloof flower gong (my direct superior).' Franca then decided to make sure that the recruits had no time for romance.

At the end of the training period, Franca blinked at the possessive recruits who were fending her direct superior away.

'Another strategy to capture the aloof gong?' Franca bit her sandwich while watching. <<less

"If the path to salvation leads through the halls of purgatory, then so be it." -Ahzek Ahriman, Cheif Librarian of the Thousand Sons... more>>

Prospero will burn.

Prospero will burn at the hands of the Sixth Legion – the Space Wolves – for the crimes of Magnus The Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons and The Crimson King of Prospero. The people of Prospero will die out, ceasing to be, Magnus The Red will sell his soul and the loyalty of the Thousand Sons to the malign influence of the Ruinous Powers, and the Space Wolves will be known as butchers forevermore.

But one Space Wolf will not stand for the butchery of the people of Prospero or his fellow Wolves' blind obedience to the orders of the Emperor. He will rebel against the chafing restrictions of the Imperium and his place in it, and open his eyes to the cruelty of his calling.

His name is Katlan, for now. He will choose to desert and leave the Sixth Legion with whatever forces he can, and perhaps, he will finally do something about the insatiable emptiness which has been gnawing at him for over a century and a half.

(This is Warhammer 40k/30k fanfiction; this time though, it has been read by two separate proofreaders who knew absolutely nothing about Warhammer 40k or 30k, who have both told me that it was still understandable and enjoyable despite their lack of knowledge of the lore. And for Warhammer nerds: it should be obvious, but this story takes place during and after the Burning of Prospero. and just like my other Warhammer 30k fanfiction, you can call me out for my lore crimes, but you cannot stop me from committing them.) <<less

It is said that the innocent suffer the most in war. While this is true, it is not just the innocent who suffer. Whether it's a soldier who just obeys orders, a general who sends his men to die, or a family who lost everything in the war. Everyone suffers in war. And everyone suffers more if it's a long war with no end in sight.

*Author's Note*

I have mostly written this in-between calls at the station and I draw a lot of inspiration from how crazy the job can get sometimes. MC is as close as I could get him to some of the toughest, smoke-diving, no no-nonsense people on the planet. (I work with some real badasses and I have always wanted to explore what would happen if we threw one of them into another world.)
I have had a ton of fun writing this, thanks for giving this one a chance.

Six decades ago, the gods of Akkarris gave a prophecy. The Ravernal Empire, a bloodthirsty conqueror of incredible power would invade the world they lived on and enslave every last person if nothing were to be done.
Needing a powerful ally, the world's brightest minds united to create a superintelligent and self-governing artificial intelligence, guided by the god of machinery, Mekanus. It gave itself the name of Arkon, and settled on the inhospitable and barren continent of Oxanda, creating Sector Zero of the Akkarrian Contingency. ... more>>

After twenty-five years of preparation, the light-wings descended and the sky turned dark for a moment. A short yet violent war ensued, with the Ravernals eventually being forced to flee by both organic and machine. The victory came with a cost though, as many cities were left in ruins. Calm followed for three decades, the Contingency's vast industrial capacity lending it to be an economic power, and its airtight security letting it hold international summits between world leaders.

Learning of the sorcerers' next target, the gods spoke to the pantheon of Aelna and came to the conclusion that the AI will be sent there to slay them once and for all. This new world had fantastical beasts, powerful magic and a wide variety of cultures and nations. It would have made peaceful relations with the rest of the nations, warned them about the threat and prepared alongside them for the final fight.

Of course, this didn't happen. In a legendary display of Murphy's Law, the summoning process goes horrifically wrong. Vital blueprints gone, critical infrastructure shattered and its army a shadow of its former self. Arkon must now recover its power and navigate its way through this very minor wrench in its plans.
How will the machine and its legions adapt to the new world? How will they change the events of history?

This story is based off of Summoning Japan by Minorou, but will diverge from its plot considerably.

Lilith Von Allistar has a singular goal she pursues with the fervor of a mad scientist. Immortality. She wants to see the end of the world as she knows it. See what the end of all humanity is like. She wants to see civilizations rise and fall with the times. ... more>>

Most of all she wants to see humans develop. Ever since she was a child she always wanted to know what it would be like at the end of the human race. Will they become deities? Creating their own universes and controlling the power of the sun with metal spheres like some of the history books attest they could.

Will humanity crash and burn before the finish line? If so how and why? Before everything is destroyed, Lilith wants to learn everything the world has to offer.

She wants to learn every skill, have every experience at least once and ideally interact with all the greatest figures of humanity. For that reason Lilith cannot die. She refuses to die.

Yet now she finds herself embroiled in a succession dispute between her siblings. Their fight over some gaudy chair is enough to endanger her life and that's too important to lose.

Yet Lilith finds herself in a pool of her own blood soon after the conflict starts. She was weak. Born with the curse of albinism Lilith can do nothing as she is murdered.

Lilith wasn't satisfied yet. She still needed to survive. She claws and scrapes at the floor leaving bloody hand-prints in her wake as she desperately tries to think of a solution. Any solution will do. She doesn't care what she has to become. She will see everything this world has to offer.

Which is when she's given a second chance. Upon her death she is contacted by Cognitionis a supposed sub-routine of some system. It notifies her and the rest of humanity that the isekAI project has finally begun to enter it's final stages.

Lilith is reborn as everything she wanted to be. Now she's strong, she's immortal and she's the progenitor of vampires. Lilith soon realizes she will need all the helpers she can get. She doesn't mind sharing immortality so long as she gets to see it all herself.

These new instincts though. Blood being the most delectable meal she ever ate and having the smell of a 5 star restaurant is fine by her. Why is her vampire side so arrogant and prideful though? What happened to never spending on vanity? Why is bowing her way out of a situation suddenly not an option? Lilith never cared about appearances or pride or 'the good of the race'. Why is she now forced to consider such things when they make staying out of trouble remarkably more difficult?

Even as a walking corpse Lilith can't just peacefully watch the world progress. The succession conflict is far from over, new forces are emerging and Lilith is apparently one of them. She'd do anything to survive yet her instincts tell her she should never bow to anyone, make a show of how powerful she is and spread her kind across the world like a plague.

She must now protect her immortal life, appease these new instincts and make sure she doesn't miss important events along humanity's journey. She doesn't want to be too distracted or this will have all been for naught. <<less
