A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

I would do anything to heal my granddaughter, including selling my soul. So, when a woman professing herself to be a fallen goddess appears promising to offer that exact deal to me, I ultimately accept despite my misgivings.... more>>

The woman tells me I have accidentally re-discovered a special meditation technique known as "Key to the Void." A powerful meditation capable of opening the barrier that separates the world from the void and accessing power from outside the world. But, in death, it can even allow souls to pass into the void, and she wishes to escape this world and needs me to open the way for her.

However, when my soul reincarnates into the other world, I discover several things have gone wrong. Me and her were not the only souls to cross over. There were several other former humans who were reborn here. But, more disturbingly, it seems there is also an earth-born demon here. What's more, the fallen goddess who hitched a ride with me was reborn as my twin sister.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is a hard reboot of my previous series, "Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess." You will notice some fairly big changes to this version right from the very beginning. Readers of my previous series should see the list of changes in the forward chapter (of which the name change from Aerien and Gaerien is just the beginning.) Those who have never encountered my previous series can feel free to skip the forward.

I am now going to begin uploading this series to other platforms, including Royal Road as of 4/16/21. <<less

After an exalted powerhouse uses an ancient artefact that shakes the universe, a dark soul is born.
The dark soul finds a body and takes... more>> it over. He finds out that his new life will be filled with dangers, uncertainties and schemes.
To ensure his survival and live a fulfilling life, the Dark Soul must find a solution and a path that is suitable for him to conquer adversity and become powerful. <<less

The world of gods is in a decline, will the help they seek come in the form they want or will they get something else... more>> they haven't even been prepared for.
Warning ---there will be all sorts of fucked up sexual kinks and activities that might not be for all, but for anyone who can enjoy their sexual perversion come to words that can stroke you imagination then you are welcome to read. <<less

IMPORTANT: “Rothester” is discontinued and has been cannibalized to rewrite it into a hopefully better version called “Gateway Eureka”

“A super-intelligence is only limited by its ambition. If you could do anything, what would you do?”... more>>

Megacles has a pretty good life. Also, she is horny, lonely, bored, anxious, and a bit of a drunk. She decides to fix all this with science. It works okay, until she accidentally builds a doomsday device. At least she’s not bored anymore.

Mr. President has inherited a broke, corrupt, government. Unemployment is high, nobody pays taxes, the healthcare system is collapsing, and the government is using systemic blackmail to cover it up. He has a plan to fix it all, he just needs to steal a trillion dollars to get started.

Super Science and Fast Romance is a near future, science fiction, romantic comedy, political psychodrama. It’s fun. It teaches how to fix everyday problems with lasers, evil robots, and mass hallucinations. These solutions work really well. Only a couple people die.

Any money made by this book will be spent on drugs and super hot lasers. <<less

Ashton had always been a fan of anime and manga, it was how he spent the time between his shifts managing a store selling bedroom and bathroom products. Never did he imagine that he would have his own isekai experience but his entrance into the world was jarring, to say the least. ... more>>

Waking up in a pool of blood from his desktop, he found a flintlock pistol in his hand and a suicide note that had nothing useful in it. The estate he was in was massive, and the accounting books showed that they made an incredible sum of money... Now if only he could figure out where the real one was!

Now forced to take on the role of House Lord Ashe Grayfield, the owner of brothels, gambling dens, taverns, and many other shady businesses. He can only rely on his wits and the monsters that Lord Grayfield kept as pets as a part of his sick games to try to survive in this new world, but why did the House Lord commit suicide?

With none of Ashe Grayfield's memories and a Duke knocking at his door he can only use the few bits of information he has to start an act that will become a legend.

Warning: Contains depictions of slavery, suicide, gore, sexual content, and cursing...

Some chapters will be R-18 and will be marked as such if they have NSFW content. This is not smut and the scenes will not happen very often... <<less

Amy Thorne has always abhorred making a scene and sticking out. Despite her best efforts in the past, she's never truly been assertive, and prefers sticking to the background. Excess attention is the last thing she wants. She's perfectly fine being a non-obtrusive wallflower at work and in her studies.... more>>

So when a clique of Mean Girls wannabees start sullying her good name in the Art History department of her university, what is she to do? Contacting the Dean would make a big fuss, and likely would give her the wrong kind of attention. But her subdued pride demands satisfaction! If only there was a way to get back at these girls with out jeopardizing her desire to remain in the background.

The only solution? Magic learned from the forbidden texts of her part-time job.

I will also be posting this story on Royalroad.com
I'll try to update weekly. <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Velestina Novaldein had been punished and was ordered to head to the New World, a newly found continent across the ocean. However, a civil war stuck her motherland and she was ordered to oversee their Nation's colonies across the New World. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever which lasted for three days. Everyone thought that she wouldn't make it but miraculously, Veleina survived but alas, what everyone didn't realized was that something came inside her while she was unconscious.

Something new, primal and unknown. <<less

A dark and mysterious woman has an insatiable sexual appetite and a large surprise in her pants. A (fortunate?) young man becomes her latest obsession... more>> and prolific debauchery ensues. <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Veleina had been banished to the New World, a newly discovered continent across the ocean. However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever and ‘something’ even tried possessing her body to be reincarnated as her but Vileina is having none of it.... more>>

She is Velestina von Novaldein, and nothing will stand on her way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

This is the rise of the Villainess. <<less

Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options. ... more>>

Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a system that seems to have borderline sinister intentions. In the chaos, he decides to stick to what he knows: stay out of the spotlight, grind, and survive.

Watch as Matt is dragged into a dark LITRPG set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams.

++++++++++++++++++

There’s a couple big influences here: Solo-Leveling, Squid Game, and Code Geass. If you enjoy LITRPG stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, and smart protagonists who start weak and eventually become powerful in a unique way, you’ll probably find something to like. But be forewarned. It won’t be easy.

I'll be writing this fast, so keep in mind there's likely to be typos that we'll correct as we go. <<less

Eunice finds herself reincarnated as her, halfway into the story. She must face the consequences to being Roanne and avoid death from both monarchies.

Duty to the clan is the first lesson every Serpent child learns. Yeijiro, born with no gifts and lacking the skills most valued by the Serpent, has turned his back on that duty, joining the Imperial Marshals to offer direct service to the Emperor herself.

As daughter of the Prime Minister of the Dragon clan, Corinne knows her duty as well, but when a fight with a demon puts Corinne on leave from her beloved Phoenix Guard, her mother takes that opportunity to drag Corinne into the political landscape Corinne has worked all her life to avoid.

A conspiracy against the life of the Emperor sees Corinne and Yeijiro working together, both thrown into the deep end of the Imperial Court, a world of intrigue and sex where all five clans vie for power. Yeijiro’s loyalties are put into question as he must now prove himself to both the Lord Marshal and to Miyōshi Tōru, lord of the clan Yeijiro renounced. While Corinne is drawn into a world of desire and decadence by a mysterious patron who is quite certainly more dangerous than she appears.

Yeijiro and Corinne must find a way to balance the duty they owe their clans against the growing desires of their hearts, or risk not only their own lives, but the life of the Emperor herself.

The cover photo is not mine. Please, if you want me to take it down immediately, I will. This fanfic is my love letter to Stan Lee, the MCU, and my heroes. It has no harem, just a straight honest story about a young teen. I am not expecting to earn anything from this fanfic.

For his return is now inevitable and our enemies too are making their moves. Summon them child, summon them for this world's fate is rested upon those heroes.

Sincerely, your great of a Magus of the East uncle,

Lord Protector is fantasy series following a teenage trio named Martyn Wulf, Arthur Svard, Eleanna Florens and their teacher Marie Maynard, who were summoned to a world called Lumenter by the Kingdom of Albion.

They are tasked to protect Lumenter from an old chaotic force, that previously has tried and failed to destroy Lumenter, but this trio and their teacher took a different approach on their task, rather than becoming a heroes party and venturing out to this new world, they, or more specifically, Martyn Wulf, the brain of the trio, made a deal with the King of Albion.

The deal was that Martyn, his friends, and his teacher would be protected by the Kingdom and then making Martyn as the co-ruler of Albion, where in exchange he will improve and advance Albion politically, economically, diplomatically, and maybe even technologically.

The King and his advisors accepted Martyn's offers but by doing this, he just plunge himself as well as his friends and teacher to a world of corruption, lies, betrayal, and greed.

Either way, he must play this messed up game of chest for his survival, his friends' survival, and his teacher's survival.
