“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”.

What does it mean to be a “Hero”?
Long, long years of bloodshed and violence while serving in the US Army has quenched the flames of passion and desire to help others in Mark Floyd’s heart, leaving him as an empty shell of the man he used to be; mind haunted by nightmares, body broken by alcohol (and more).
But as long as even one ember remains in a person’s heart, there is still a chance for the passion they held to be rekindled. Mark is about to get that chance, and the choice that he makes may lead him to a new hope, or destruction.

The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. ... more>>

People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects.

In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes.

Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn.

Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides.

Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished.

The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it.

Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost, inheriting the title but not its privileges. Oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions.

But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life?

---

Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggles to break free from the influence of her family.

Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world?

---

William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own.

Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler.

---

The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole.

Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it.

Which one will you be?

This is an exploration. I throw out random ideas to see where the story goes!... more>>

Inspiration for the 1st chapter is:- What would happen if a Demon Lord is put in a Slime's body and acquired memories from earth? Would he gain knowledge on A.I and Supercomputers OR would his head be filled with Sound Cloud rappers and Tick-Tock memes!?

I think we already know the answer! So, hold on to your butts’ ladies and gentlemen!
There is a new meme lord coming to your Isekai!

A retired secret agent was sent back in time to complete one final mission.... more>>

The story took place in a modernized magical world of Myr with its relatively advanced civilization of electricity and firearms. Almighty magicians had long died out leaving behind powerful magical beasts that roamed the world, and humanity that strived to survive with their technology.

Alter Norn was a 42-year-old ‘Bookman’, an operative of the largest secret information agency ‘The Archive’, that had retired from active duty.

Suddenly summoned by the head of the organization for one last assignment in his life, never in his wildest dream would he have guessed that he was about to be sent back to his 15-year-old self to accomplish the mission.

***

Back in time, while getting more and more entangled with the would-be heroes, key figures, and powerhouses of his generation because of the assignment, Alter, the average run-of-the-mill agent, realized that he was moving further and further away from his own supposed history with every step he took to complete the mission.

Alter was aware that he would eventually have to choose between the burden of the mission and the temptation of correcting his own personal mistakes in life.

This is a cross-over fan fiction I wrote a while back, before I ever got the idea for "Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess." I have never actually posted it anywhere permanent, I was just posting chapters in the LCD for Death Mage (Full name, The Death Mage Who Doesn't Want a 4th Time.)... more>>

Since this was originally posted in the LCD for Death Mage, it assumes the reader has a lot of knowledge of the Death Mage lore while picking up the slack for the reader quite a bit more on the Overlord end.

The setting is that Sam, Van's ghost carriage friend, has evolved to a point he can carry people between worlds. Van is currently on vacation, and has brought along Sam (of course, because he's the driver,) Rita, Saria, Gufadgarn, and the ghosts who are always with him. Everyone else stays back in Talosheim.

On the Overlord end, it is soon after Ainz has taken control of Erantel. Literally, chapter 2 clips chapter 1, part 1 of the 10th lite novel in its entirety in order to more accurately introduce Ainz, only changing a piece of the very ending in order to modify it from traveling to the dwarf kingdom to them taking notice of Van and his party.

Anyway, I've received some demand from the LCD readers to re-post this story in a more accessible place. So, I will begin posting it here. <<less

“Have you ever felt completely bored out of your life?”... more>>

“Have you ever doubted the reason for your existence? Your purpose?”

“Is there a tiny spark of curiosity inside that boredom? Wanting to explore? Wanting to know more?”

“That’s me? Just a fun loving guy bored to death in the most literal manner. I lived an uneventful life as an orphan. Studied hard, got a job but never married. I guess sudden heart attack leaves you no chance to think about the future. One of the things you should know about me though, I am a very humble person.”

“If you compare me to the regular tramsmigrators of the legends then you might be mistaken. After all, what abilities does a salesman could offer in a world filled with magic, right?”

“You have been warned. If you still want to read, follow my adventure where I embrace the romantic adventures of every fantasising males and females. The adventure of a Hunter.”
