Liang Fei is an avid reader, hardworking man and a loyal brother.... more>>

So why is he forced to play the role of a villain in a novel he never even read!? After being killed and transmigrated into his younger sisters favorite novel, Liang Fei finds himself in the tough situation of surviving in a novel he's never read and a genre he's unfamiliar with. Even the protagonist is unknown to him.

But if he's the villain, the best way to save his life is to be the best master and why not start with his adorable student, Liu Xieren.

Xieren: I don't want to share Shizun with anyone else. Be only my Shizun, okay?
Liang: That might be hard... But I think I can do it.
Xieren: [Takes his hand] So you'll be only mine?
Liang: [Blinks innocently] I suppose that's one way to put it.

The first hints of spring bring with it the Corruption – an anomaly of strange sightings and missing corpses.... more>>

Shu Haize really isn’t interested, but what was supposed to be a short excursion to locate his only friend has led to something he never signed up for. He wants to escape its grasps – wherever it's confining him – so he’s walking, roaming, heading nowhere in particular but he’s moving, letting loose in the adrenaline of battle.

There’s a cemetery of stars tonight. Shu has never had any affinity to stargazing so when he looks up, he’s hollow and lost in its immensity. Then he’s finding companions, all of them unfamiliar, and one in the form of raven hair and amused amber eyes.

“Hello?” His lips curve. “What a coincidence.” <<less

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.... more>>

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

Yan BarCarran has never felt at home. She’s an orphan among her extended family, a spacer among the ground dwellers while at school, and a one-in-a-million oddity born with the ability to use the God-given power. Still, at least at the Academy, an elite theological school where those with the power are sent to train, she knows where she stands. Her peaceful life falls apart when she receives her apprenticeship invitation at graduation.... more>>

Aymon Sandreas is the de facto leader of the Empire. He commands hundreds of powerful starships and keeps order among the planets under his rule. He’s also getting older, and the time has come for him to choose apprentices, one of whom will eventually become his chosen successor. He picks three students: the spiritual and talented Yan, the mysterious and troubled Kino, and the impulsive and striving Sid.

Now in the dead center of politics, Yan faces danger from would-be assassins and political rivals. If she doesn’t learn well enough and fast enough, she’ll die before she ever has a chance to make a difference. Between her fellow apprentices, the reformed criminal tasked with teaching her survival, and even her powerful master, Yan isn’t sure who to trust in this dangerous new world.

Sometimes, the right choice is the hardest thing to see. <<less

Nath Hosveigh, a 22-year-old bitter corner store cashier was already pissed off and miserable the day The Interface incorporated Earth into its domain. Nath is killed at home but somehow doesn't stay dead and instead, is made one of the "Special 65", a small group of people given an extra helping hand in preparation for the upcoming changes enacted by The Interface. ... more>>

Armed with a Unique-Class and limitless potential for growth, Nath intends to carve his own little space of happiness in a world gone to shit. He's definitely not a hero, and doesn't particularly like or trust anyone. He wouldn't mind leaving a group of people behind to be slaughtered if he thought it would benefit him, but who says The Interface cares about any of that?

Eventually selected and chosen by an organization that predates even the unfathomably ancient system that is The Interface for an unknown purpose, Nath maneuvers through a world of magic, might, stats, and perhaps luck.

Oh and his family hates him, so who knows what'll happen there. <<less

Once upon a time, in a distant land of lilies, 8 authors spun 8 old tales into new forms.... more>>

In the spires of the spinning wheel, a dragon-slaying saint charges headfirst into battle, seeking a prize no king can grant;
A forest nymph makes a human lord an offer too tempting to refuse, supported from the shadows by an unexpected ally;
Elsewhere, the lady “imprisoned” in the tower walks out the front door again, and a clam repays the woman who saved her life in perhaps the worst way possible.

With more than yuri to twist these once-familiar stories, is a happy ending still within reach?

In the presence of others, she was always apathetic and indifferent, making it impossible for anyone to be close to her. She was someone whose time had frozen in place, staying away from the flowing world. Someone who was always alone, sitting at the back of the classroom, quietly gazing at the deep sky. ... more>>

Authors notes: This is the first novel that I am posting on scribble hub and I hope that it goes well. Though I have no clue how to judge that.

I am currently looking for a image to use, though it isn't easy. I will eventually find one to use. If you wish to send one in, it would be appreciated and if I like it I might just use it. ( and give credit).

This is inspired by table top Call of Cthulhu and overall Lovecraftian horror (Not the actual books written by Lovecraft since I haven't read any of them) That I hope to put a twist it. Though it will all be as lightly intrusive and as original as possible ( I hope). <<less
