In the quaint yet somber town of Willow's End, shrouded in an aura of lingering mist and unsettling quietude, stands the Hawthorne Estate. Its towering... more>> presence casts long shadows over the history of the town, a chronicle rife with whispers of the otherworldly. Here, the Hawthorne family, led by David and Helen, finds their new abode, accompanied by their twin daughters, Aria and Ariel, and their intrepid younger brother, Max.
The estate, with its labyrinthine passageways and dust-laden chambers, holds a peculiar fascination for the twins—a fascination that turns to trepidation as they stumble upon a collection of dolls. These are no ordinary playthings but receptacles of souls, each a tragic participant in an occult legacy left by the enigmatic Morgana, whose very name evokes a hushed fear among the elder townsfolk.
What eldritch truths do the whispering walls of the estate conceal? What becomes of the cursed souls and their porcelain guardians when the rite is disrupted? These questions are the very essence of the tale spun within the pages of "The Collector," a mystery not fully disclosed, for the depth of the manor's secrets is a well far deeper than any might fathom.
Tread lightly, dear reader, through the arcane narrative that unfolds—For within the story of the Hawthorne' and their entanglement with Morgana's legacy, lies a darkness to be explored with caution, and an ad <<less

But with the sudden completion of the Zanpakuto conception, he has become a "sword person."

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "unrestricted swords."

Since Soul Society does not allow two identical Zanpakutos to exist, then I just won't use my Zanpakuto, and that should be fine, right?

Who is the strongest in the Zanjutsu category: Zangetsu or Zangetsu: Black?

Who is the number one in Assassination Techniques: Ichimonji or Suzumebachi?

Which is stronger: Kinshara or Senbonzakura?

Can the Yami no Tachi Shura and Yami no Tachi Rasetsu compete for the title of the strongest Zanpakuto?

Unlimited Blade Works, essentially "swords," all the "swords" in the world are mine. Yamamoto, even you, the head of the 1st Division, "Black," cannot take away my "swords."

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet.... more>>

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

[This is the rewritten version of The Story of a Girl and a Goddess Whose Souls Became Interconnected].
******************************
Plagued by amnesia, a girl awakens on the outskirts of a mysterious forest. Haunted by a constant voice and searing pain, she finds solace in the name given to her by the unseen speaker: Servi.... more>>

Driven by an unyielding urge to live, she cautiously infiltrates a bustling city, clinging beneath the undercarriage of a passing wagon to evade detection. Within the labyrinthine streets, she encounters a kaleidoscope of beings, their animalistic features both captivating and perplexing.

In the grim slums of the city, Servi becomes witness to the heart-wrenching cruelty of a desperate world. Seeking refuge in an abandoned shack, her respite is shattered by the anguished cries of tormented siblings. Unwilling to stand by in silence, Servi confronts their oppressors with nothing but a humble pipe, an act of courage that leads to her demise.

However, death proves elusive as Servi is confronted by Itarr, a goddess imprisoned and shackled by forgotten memories. Bound by a shared purpose, their souls are spliced together in a bid to transcend their confinements and return to the realm of the living.

As Servi and Itarr embark on an extraordinary journey, their intertwined destinies intertwine with a singular goal: to reclaim the goddess's lost memories. In a world steeped in mystery and pain, their quest for identity and purpose will challenge them, unraveling the secrets that lie dormant within their enigmatic existence.
******************************

Content Warning: This story contains graphic depictions of gore, explicit sexual content, and strong language. Reader discretion is advised. Please be aware of the mature themes and provocative scenes present throughout the narrative because it can get quite dark.

What to Expect - Overall: Interconnected: Spliced Souls is about Servi, a girl without any memories, navigating through this new life of hers as a goddess with Itarr's power over the soul. Some chapters will have images, and some of those images are R-18. All images will be within a spoiler box. The beginning of such chapters will have an Author's Note explaining if the images are R-18 or not.

What to Expect - Romance: Servi is a futanari. She becomes one fairly early on in the story, and she will have multiple love interests-- polygamy-- as the story develops.

What to Expect - Tags: More tags will be added as the story develops so as to not spoil anything I have planned. <<less

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.
