In the not-too distant future, mankind has colonized space and achieved utopia as a civilization.

Volunteers work 25-year shifts at the edge of the explored galaxy to gather resources for the peaceful world of Earth. These workers live in makeshift colonies on the asteroids and moons where they labor. In one such colony, a melancholy woman from Neo-Kyoto opens a traditional Japanese tea room. This is her slice-of-life story as she tries to bring a little bit of Chanoyu to the distant stars. <<less

In a dazed and muddled state, Su Ruo Jin was reincarnated into the body of the eldest daughter of a ninth-rank Guozijian scholar (a government academic) in Bianjing, the capital of the Great Yin Dynasty. She watched as her mother gave birth to one younger brother, then another. Their small civil servant household, once merely struggling, had now become so poor they had to borrow money just to get by.... more>>

At just six years old, she had to stand on a stool to reach the stove, always worried about the next meal. How was this supposed to continue?

But no fear… no fear… Living in the super-metropolis of Bianjing, a bustling city with a booming economy, and bringing along food knowledge from a thousand years in the future—how could she possibly starve to death? Impossible… absolutely impossible…

In the Guozijian, and among the Three Departments, Five Directorates, and Nine Ministries—where officials gathered—who didn’t need breakfast? Then let’s start with a breakfast stall: fried dough sticks and sesame flatbreads with soy milk, sesame rice balls and eight-treasure porridge—still think the menu’s too plain? Then here come jianbing (savory crepes), xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), shengjianbao (pan-fried buns), tofu pudding, stuffed flatbreads, and lamb stew…

Cotton-fluffing, blanket-making, Songjiang cloth… oil presses, wineries, general stores… pacifying rebellions, catching bandits… the money just keeps rolling in… endlessly rolling in…

Left hand holding a pot, right hand a spatula—this is the true flavor of earthly life! In this grand, bustling capital city, here comes this little lady! <<less

"The system might give us stats, but only we decide how to play this game!"... more>>

In a vibrant, RPG-inspired fantasy world, our protagonist—a guy who’s been through his fair share of hardships—suddenly finds himself running a tavern in a land brimming with danger and opportunity. This tavern isn’t just about serving beer and food; it’s a hotspot for drama, schemes, and unexpected adventures.

He’s no chosen hero. No prophecy ever mentioned his name. All he has is a sharp tongue, a battered system interface that barely listens, and the instincts of someone who survived too much for too long. But maybe that’s enough.

Armed with a broken past and a stubborn streak, he throws himself into building something of his own. Day by day, coin by coin, favor by favor, he hustles to turn his dusty tavern into the beating heart of a chaotic region—where mercenaries trade secrets, mages drink to forget, and monsters sometimes knock twice before entering.

But the tavern isn’t just attracting business. It’s attracting attention. The kind that comes with whispers in dead languages and guests who don’t cast reflections.

Because beneath the clatter of mugs and laughter, something else is waking up. Something old. Something hungry.

And it’s not here for the ale. <<less

What not to expect:
Status screens/System. (They exist, you will just never see them.)

Author note: I have ADHD and don't take anything for it, so while I'm interested in writing this, it will take quite a bit of time between posts. You've been warned. Also content warning cause you never know. If something r-18 happens I'll put it in the chapter title for warning. <<less

Dan wasn’t expecting to wake up in a medieval village riddled with disease, poverty, and giant, acid-spitting spiders. One minute, he was in his apartment, avoiding responsibilities like a normal person—the next, he was being shoved into a half-collapsed house and told to deal with the local pest problem.... more>>

No magic. No overpowered abilities. No chosen hero nonsense. Just one skill: Buy & Sell.

Yang Yinuo, the First Miss of the Yang Family, the most renowned and successful silk merchants in the entire capital, has been neglected and abandoned from birth. Save for her beloved grandmother no one seems to care about her. When her grandmother dies, the young girl loses the last bit of protection she had. Dehydrated, starved and on the brink of death, she gets thrown out into the street by her evil. ambitious stepmother. As fate wills it, however, Yinuo gets saved by General Su and his newly wedded wife who take her in and adopt her as their own daughter, raising her with the love and affection she never received from her own family.... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> Yinuo's happy and calm life at the Su Residence, however, comes to a tragic end as war breaks out at the borders and General Su falls in battle, leaving the women and children of her found family entirely reliant on the business skills her deceased grandmother taught her. Suddenly thrust into the role of head of the family, Yinuo has to navigate her family through countless perils and hardships in a world dominated by men, while she steadily grows from a neglected and abused child into the capital's most successful business woman, capturing the cold, love- and touch-starved Prince's heart in the process... <<less

Get Isekaied, become a hero, and get taxed for all your hard-earned loot?! Death is a lesser punishment than working retail...almost.... more>>

Fiona Swiftheart became a hero shortly arriving on the world of Cepalune. Monsters became fashion trends, treasures got put into museums, dragons were beaten to tears...and then she got a bogus tax bill from the King's son, after his father went on a long-term vacation.

Faced with an impossible situation, Fiona vowed to beat this king's dirty tricks her way: by selling her hard-acquired loot, finding tax loopholes, and keep every single copper she could from going into that greedy Kings' hands. The fastest way to do that, meant opening a store and going into business again.

But the post adventuring life isn't lacking surprises when her new merchant class comes with powers no one has seen before. Thus begins her mad quest to find normalcy, hobbies and friendship in running a magical item shop with her friends--with drama and zany antics every step of the way! At least retail won't be boring...

What’re you buying?!

* A fantasy slice-of-life story.

* Feel-good storytelling, with no ‘save the world’ plot. This is a lived-in world that Fiona is a part of, and doesn’t revolve around her. She is a flawed but relatable person as she grows into her role as a competent businesswoman when confronted with reality, and what it takes to push forward.

* No math, No LitRPG. Besides taxes. And that math hurts.

* Content rating: PG-13. Some swearing, suggestive content, and comedic violence.

Adam Cabot had never imagined that he would be asked by a higher entity to manage a store. This store sold every things people could imagine. Potions, artifacts, cursed artifacts, even abilities and living beings.... more>>

Various types of customers would come, a princess an immortal, a giant, even a god. Everyone were surprised by the selections of the item, but perplexed because they could only get those by an unknown means - Gacha.

"What the hell is Gacha?
"Is it random?"
"Are you sure this thing can give the item I want?"

And then they were grateful.
"Thanks to you I can save my kingdom."
"Haha! I can finally beat that old fogey using your weapon!"
"I-I can live normally now..."

But next they were outraged.

"Please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out."
"WHYYY!? I SPENT SO MUCH!!!"
"All is hopeless..."

Such a lively scene that would occur daily in this store. If you happened to see a door that had a sign of a golden box and rainbow crystal, then you were lucky enough to be a customer of the Gacha Store.

Old Description:
Mason Peterson runs his old family gun store after his father died 4 years ago.

One day after a month of occurring, increasing levels of extremism, madness, and irritability caused by an unknown source causes his world to collapse. Resulting in a final stand against madmen that are becoming more beast than man who hate that he dare not hold their exact beliefs. He can't hold them off forever, but a gun store does not lack weaponry, so he killed hundreds of them and he will take another dozen with him.

But his endless rest caused by societal unrest was short lived, as his soul accidentally slipped through the cracks of the failing reality of his universe into the loving arms of a System. Who tasks him with selling weapons and equipment for the creation energy of other universes. But the universes do not appreciate the energy being lost, even temporarily, and the mystery of the insanity and reality cracking of his home universe abounds.

Join Mason as he dives into running and upgrading an Interdimensional Arms Store. And join his customers on some of their adventures as they fight against the fate rigged against them with modern equipment and try to understand who Mason is exactly. And maybe Mason will eventually find out what happened to his universe and who or what he's become.

In a world where everyone has powers and deities walk the same ground as humans, Astrid considers her life to be pretty average. She was recovering from sickness, moving to a new city, and opening a cafe with her lovely girlfriend! ... more>>

Those are all rather normal developments, what more is there to say?

Unbeknownst to Astrid though, quite possibly nothing is normal about her life. Her new home, Marcen’s Cliffs, is a city ruled by deities, her girlfriend, Valencia, is an otherworldly powerful deity in disguise, and her life? Well... her life is supposed to be over.

Astrid should be dead.

But with Valencia secretly apotheosizing her to save her from being sacrificed, Astrid’s been given a new lease on life and her already unique healing powers have soared in value.

Astrid, without a hint of this knowledge though, only has two questions.

Who are all these rich people who keep coming to the cafe? And... Why do their organization names seem so... weird? Church of Eternity? Federation of Obsidian? Cerulean Dynasty?

Even her naming sense is better than this!
