A million years ago, the Western Continent was forever changed by the establishment of Yi City, the largest nation in recorded history. Split into many districts, it was the greatest accomplishment of its creator, but its glory did not last long.... more>>

Now, it is separated, and even those connected to the ruling families may be reduced to servants. Yi Wei is one such servant, but even when she isn't being ordered around by the likes of her aunt, she struggles to make any progress in her cultivation. Her own talent seems subpar, and the strange, inert characters floating around within her dantian don't help in the slightest.

However, her life will be changed by a simple accident that will set her onto the path of growth and discovery. The Planar Continents hold many mysteries, and the path she has chosen gives her no choice but to investigate them, for that is the Path of the Ascendant.

The main content of the story is already complete and chapters will be released daily, with exception of bonus chapters, which will come out alongside main chapters.

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.

The Slayer and The Vixen. The world's greatest monster hunter and bounty hunter, respectively. Through their combined efforts, the world has been able to enjoy an era of peace for nearly a decade since the end of The Drazah War. But when their identities and the source of their power is revealed, all of their admiration turns to terror and they're deplored as the worst Fiends alive. Wanting nothing more than to service the world they feel responsible for, the pair must find new ways to help those who fear them. These Fiends are For Hire.... more>>

Fiends For Hire is a Modern Fantasy that is a blend of Action and Slice-of-Life with Anti-Hero leads. The series is currently over 3,500 pages long.

What to expect:

-A lot of Slice-of-Life. This series could be also be known as 'The Daily Lives of Anti-Heroes.' There is still a lot of Action, Comedy, World-Building, and Conflict, but Slice-of-Life is the main focus.

-A slow burn main plot. Not every chapter may seem like it's building towards the ultimate end, and some are just for fun. But virtually every chapter has new lore, world-building, character development, and/or subtle clues hinting at the mysteries of the series.

-Overpowered and Eccentric Characters with a lot of unique abilities. As the series progresses, OP vs OP fights and conflict become more common.

-Some very wholesome and some very dark moments. They are Anti-Heroes after all, so you get the good and the bad.

This series is NOT:
-Progression Fantasy -LitRPG -Cultivation -Isekai -Harem

New Volume 3 Chapter(s) every week. Volumes 1 and 2 complete!

A medical student died because of negligence of the authorities. Later, he is granted a second chance in life with some boons. But being an Otaku and Naruto fan, he chooses to live in the chaotic world of Naruto.
The story will follow canon for the initial part with a new plot. Major changes will reflect in the later part as our MC grows up. The story has strong AU elements and the power scaling is ramped up to explore various foreign elements in Naruto. Everything in its entirety will be a part of the Naruto series with details and speculations of my own.
This story is my original creation, and I post it on... more>> Scribble hub and Webnovel. You might find a few initial chapters on Royal Road.
Note:- The starting 40 chapters or so have poor grammar and various mistakes since I was a new writer back then and lacked experience. But I am working on editing them.

Warning:-I don't own Naruto or any related stuff except my MC and Original characters and jutsus. (Yep, there are lots and lots of original jutsus in the story.)

An indulgent self-insert story into the Second Coming of Gluttony with the usual power trip fantasy stuff. Some things change, others remain the same, and the end game... Well, small ripples become huge waves.

I've had this lying around for a while and kept adding to it for fun here and there, but since it's gotten pretty big, I figured I'd post it for people to read and get some enjoyment out of it if they can.

Returning to a previous life she doesn’t remember, Tori wakes up in a fantasy world as the heir to an empire. One where magic called cultivation rules. While doing research and kickstarting an industrialization, she has to deal with a family of transmigrators, politics, and spirits. Maybe she’ll even figure out why some of them keep trying to kill her.... more>>

Life in a different world has its challenges, even if it’s the life you’re supposed to lead.

Fantasy Races, Magic, and a Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk Setting in a futuristic Earth.

This is a romance/small harem at its core. It starts slightly slow (couple chapters) but expect it to transition more into the romance as the story goes along. When the romance happens, it will be a fast progression. I'm not sure if I could consider this a Yandere story or not, but two of the characters in the story could fall into that category, so I have that as a tag just in case. Please, if you think some of my tags are wrong, let me know. I'd be more than happy to change them. ^_^

The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently.

Blurb:

Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless.

But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands.

Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right.

Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed.

Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure. <<less

What is important is I seem to somehow be in the starting room of my novel… Although the room isn’t that unique by itself. After all, a pure white marble room with no doors somehow doesn’t seem that unique in the omniverse anymore. What is important and far more unique is the screen asking me to choice a difficulty level. Well, actually… It might not be important to you… For me, however, it is kind of important. You probably don’t care…

This might seem like a simple decision for anyone in my situation. But... I value my life enough that I would just choose easy mode and be done with it. Unfortunately, this decision isn’t that simple... mainly because (if this is my novel) there is the slight issue with that plan. The corrupted monsters, monstrosities, slowly leading this universe toward destruction… Ugh... Right about now I wish I could punch my past self who wrote that crap…

Author here! Now for whatever reason you decided to read this description (I cannot really imagine why). I would like to quickly mention that my story has taken inspiration from many other tales that exist specifically mentioning Novel’s Extra and Tutorial is Too Hard as major influences. While there is some suggestive content that would (probably) bump the age rating up to 13+, there is no explicit sexual content in this story.

My current plan for releasing chapters is to release two per week.
