When everything in existence suffers a change, or welcomes it, and what is to come has finally come - would it beget with its origination the terror, deathliness, tragedy, torment and devastation? Or would it, by any chance, differ from its authentic nature and reality?... more>>

In the deepest of the first starless dark blue night, its point of origin vastly different from the one where everything 'began'... a beautiful hand reaches to taint the most fearsome. Would its origin bring chaos to it all?
--- *** ---

What are the words that hold the utmost power? What are the thoughts that break it all? Which are those who shine brightest, gloom darker, and explode defiantly against reality who prevail?

Any lifeform of the world, no matter how advanced and evolved; all become subject to terror for the very same ones:

One, afraid of the dark. Two, of the violent forces of Nature. Three, of Injustice.

It's not about having the reason on your side; it's not about having the power to demand for subservience and is not whether one is right or not... It's about taking it all with your own hands!

No darkness is gloom without light to obverse it; no light shines brighter without endless emptiness. But it is only one that is; only that has been; only one that can; that will; that KNOWS.

One little grain of sand can evolve into a dried-up sea; one little animal can become a monster; one sole thought can become reality... But can any of them regress, lose it all, suffer nonsensically, and beget — 'all that exists and there is'?

Would they be willing to? ...Can they do it? ...Do they understand?

Synopsis for dummies:

Born in a world where every imaginable thing is so advanced even the earth one can step on moves and thinks, met with the pureness of nature at birth, and touched by the unimaginable.

To see the future is for fools. To long for the past is too late. But to see ahead is the only road.

What might be a long and arduous lifelong objective for one can be a simple step for others. What others can't see might be sensed by someone else. And to walk as one never betrays themselves... is glory.

When the bells ring, the heavens change, the world trembles, and a change is called upon... Will there finally be that something that has been missing? What the world had lacked all this long? What... the world deserves? Will a person change that? Will they do it all alone, terribly consumed in coldness and leaving horrors wherever that person walks? Or will there be a returning change that the world has even forgotten for... ever?

Even the smallest of rebellions and uprisings... can be the start of everything.

Grace Pastel is a young girl who lives a cozy life in Jubilife city with her father, and for her, Pokemon battles are just something that she watches on television or online. Entertainment to be seen at a distance. After turning fifteen, she watched as young people her age got ready for their first journey across Sinnoh, all aiming to become the Champion. She usually scoffed at them, wondering how one could throw away a comfortable life in the city to risk their lives in the wild for an unobtainable goal. And yet when she was asked by her father to deliver a package to her mother living two towns over, something clicked in her... more>> brain.

Suddenly, she decided that she wanted to be the very best.

Imagine a shonen sports story. But, it’s not about baseball or soccer. No, this one is about playing a MOBA video game!... more>>

And no, it’s neither League of Legends nor DotA. A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL MOBA, the one MOBA to rule them all - Classmancers!

The game has become so big, that even schools recognize it as a sport. They even allow students to participate in Classmancers clubs and compete against other schools! Who will be the one going to nationals!?

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

For Yuel, a team sport is like a chessboard that comes to life. There’s no greater fun than deconstructing every opponent and predicting twenty of their moves in advance.

And, Classmancers is the ideal stage for such psychological warfare, for it’s a sport in which game theory reigns supreme. At least, usually, it does.

There are also goofs like Lars, who got -200 IQ, yet boast godlike mechanical skill that triumphs against all odds. He’s like your typical OPMC which a cheat, except the cheat does nothing for his intellect.

Yuel and Lars are like water and fire. In other words, 100% compatible! That’s why they form an unlikely duo and set out to dominate Classmancers’ competitive scene!

However, to challenge their OPness, the two will run into rivals who are just as OP! Some of them will turn their teammates immune to Yuel’s psychological attacks, while others will redirect Lars’s almighty strength against himself.

In this harsh environment, the two will keep struggling, struggling, and struggling some more, following their promise to reach the pro scene.

He looked at the mask that was still on the table and stared at it. He grabbed it and said with a mix of sorrow and regret, “Looks like this is the end for us buddy. We can finally put all this chaos to rest.”... more>>

Or so he thought.

As Liam was getting ready for the inevitable doom that the world promised, he was suddenly transported without warning. Not to a castle, not to an academy, not even to a King's audience room where a princess was waiting. Instead he is transported to a Tutorial Area hidden away in a cavern.

Here he learns that magic is real, monsters exist, classes are a thing, and potions need a new recipe. This is all great and everything until his starting class is suddenly changed due to some foreign interference in his body giving him a Non-Combat Class...Crafter.

As if things couldn't get any worse he has to find a team who would accept him, try to figure out how to survive in the Portal he was assigned to, and kill monsters while trying not to die. However, the first two things on his mind is to fix the nasty taste left behind from drinking potions and trying not to lose to Upchuck Roulette.

New Arc starts after Tutorial 140. New Arc starts with Adventure 141.

All chapters below 141 are the Tutorial Arc while Adventure 141 - current are part of the next Arc. Working Title Arc is New Arrival Mayhem Arc.

Chapter release scheduling will be Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

New word count after Chapter 140 is roughly between 2500 to 4500. <<less

And so Arascus, God of Pride, waited. He waited for his defeat as the forces of Heaven & Hell combined descended upon him. He waited as they tried to kill him. He waited as they locked him away. He waited for a thousand years in that dark prison.... more>>

This story takes place in a fantasy variant of our modern world with ancient Gods, with multiple differing character perspectives and excerpts at the start of each chapter. These excerpts are largely the character's own opinions, they are not correct. Also, unless said otherwise, most characters lie to achieve their own goals. Only believe the character's own perspectives for their own thoughts, but please do understand that everyone is biased in some way or another.

This story features progression of powers and technology, ramping up from swords to rifles into modern style of warfare and then further beyond. It is a slow-burn.

I don't use any AI to write, I'm not against AI personally and I've used it for the cover. I just work a lot. <<less

"All right, boys and girls, quit sucking your ma's teats. It's high time we bloody earn our paychecks!"... more>>

Born in times of turmoil, orphaned at a young age, and raised amongst rowdy sellswords, young Reinhardt Edelstein joined the mercenary trade as well when he grew up.

When misfortune finally caught up with them, and the mercenary company he had been part of fell into an ambush and was decimated, he survived by chance, along with a few others.

Then he found the baton of responsibility passed on to his hand, as the adopted nephew of the late captain.

Stuck behind enemy lines, with only the tattered remnants of the once proud company around him, he strived to do his best, to rebuild the company to its former glory... Should they survive the current conflict.

Would he succeed in etching his name in the annals of history? Or would he end up as a mere footnote instead?

Only time will tell…

Chapters will range from 1-2k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

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

Expect:

-War, with little to no punches pulled.

-Army building

-Tragedies, and dark Comedy/gallows humor.

Do not expect:

-Much in terms of romance

A young orphan works hard every single day, trying to single-handedly keep his parents’ business alive, all the while tortured by a terrible curse.... more>>

Then came the day that a wizard became his mentor - and he learned that his entire life was a lie… His parents didn’t just die, they were brutally murdered; he was not cursed at all; his uncle was not in fact his uncle; and he could channel magic! Struggling to rise above the tragedy of his horrific past, he is now thrown into an entirely new world.

Day by day he must push himself to catch up with his new peers, learning the secrets of this vast new world, while studying the arts of combat, weapons, and magic!

Where do his strengths lie? What are his talents? Is he strong enough to overcome the obstacles in his way?

And why is he considered so unique?

The secrets of the academy, of the missing ambassador, of the hidden dragons, and of the empires and kingdoms marching to war in the east - all have been hurled into an abyss so deep that they should never be found.

Yet Yaric grew up in the abyss, and watching his new world get dragged down by the secrets, Yaric is forced to plunge right back in. But as Yaric already knows, staring into the abyss is easy. Falling in is effortless. Rising back out however, that may not be possible at all!

Only for those who want more than a brief synopsis...
What to expect:

The mc is kind of overpowered, but not in a typical way. And definitely not in an obvious way. He does get more overpowered as the story develops though. Again, not in a normal way.

Yaric is central, but many side characters are very important. The world doesn’t revolve around him.

There will not be any training montages. Power is gained through effort, and training and learning is part of the journey. Some will likely consider the story ‘slow burn’ – the mc is discovered to have magical potential, and then spends many years studying. Lore is revealed as the mc learns. The journey is the story.

The mc’s journey will include training missions, fulfilling appeals (effectively ‘adventuring’), diplomatic missions, small scale skirmishes and large-scale wars encompassing multiple nations. Mysteries and crimes will have to be solved along the way. There will be monsters, creatures hiding in the dark, and apocalyptic behemoths. Oh, and there will be dragons. Very important dragons. They’re coming!

There will be combat, martial arts, different kinds of magic, and various forms of crafting. Different nations have different cultures; politics, trade, and wars between them are important. Battles aren't just groups of soldiers slugging it out. Ok, sometimes they are...

It might take a while to get there, but there are overarching plots over and above the minor plots and story arcs. The main plot starts right at the beginning.

The world:

It's less medieval and more Roman Empire/Ancient China, if they both had magic and 1000’s of years of extra development. Just like they had occupations such as administrators, secretaries, lawyers, architects, acrobats, firemen and accountants, so too does Malvec and the surrounding nations. The sapient population includes humans, elves, dwarves, draugr and lichs. Wildlife includes ogres and vardøgers, trolls and gnolls, hellcats and nightwing bats. And much more!

Technology is more advanced, due to 2 main differences between those empires and nations like Malvec
Time: Civilization has been around longer - by thousands of years. Mass production is common. Assembly lines have been developed. Various forms of schools and education are widespread. Steam power, internal combustion engines and electricity are practically the only things missing. Essentially power generation and storage.
Food: Mages drastically enhance food production, making populations both larger and more diverse. A much larger % of the population take up other jobs.

Leray Series: 04-09/19... more>>

The Leray world which Danny and Taylor have found themselves in is filled with magic wielders combating other with their own unique spells and weapon combinations, and Jane is the strongest of the three. Even though Jane's dream is to become a Leray master on this epic journey, the situation doesn't turn out as she would expect.

Against Nyar's advice, the trio walks too deep into the practice of Leray magic, getting too involved in matters more difficult to handle. Darkness lurks in the shadows, and new evils awaken to shift the world on its head. Those who specialize in dark magic prove how easy it is to bring an entire nation to its knees, one little step at a time. <<less

Dr. Kintovar's agenda takes center stage as they grapple with their identity, their powers, and their connection to a past life. Will Roselle survive long enough to fulfill their creator's missions and recover her memories? <<less

“No one rules alone. That goes double when ruling something vast, like a world. Or worlds. Or entire star systems. But if you get dropped into a universe that you really don’t want to be in? With powers that, at best, attract a cult of child kidnappers? And at worst, well. You might not need that advice after all. You won’t live long enough to need it.”... more>>

Knowledge is power. Question is, will power through knowledge be enough?
No. It really, really won’t be.

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

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.

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

'The UnderCurrent Incident' of 2022 gave humanity it's first glance at alien life, although not in an expected way.
It allowed for a VR-like vision into the lives of an entire race of people separate to our own. This novel serialises their story, the story of 5 ordinary pilots partaking in an interplanetary war of galactic proportions.
With no way of knowing if this glimpse into a foreign society is an alternate reality or some distant planet in our own universe, it would only take so long for the public to demand a guided tour - Now you hold that very thing in your hands, with exclusive access to the project and transcripts from the original experiment's team.

Now on Royal Road and coming to Scribblehub!
This is my own original work, with obvious inspirations from the likes of Gundam, Dune, 1984, Evangellion, Grimgar and anime in general.
All ideas and concepts shown are my own, though I do Parody some things.
A fair amount of research has gone into many of the topics in this book, but I am by no means an expert in any.

I'd love to share some of the research I've come across on mecha, living in Space, and amputees. Amputees in particular is a worthy topic we should all be more educated on - You may find this video link a brief intro into that world; https://youtu.be/piiFI8QafHs

There is a degree of deconstructionism towards the mecha genre involved with an onus on taking a more practical look at the features of that mode of storytelling, giving actually worldbuilding explanations for some of the fantastical equipment involved and using the likes of military structure and resource management in conjunction with the story, but hopefully this is something anyone can enjoy with no prior knowledge of the genre traditions.

Thanks for reading! <<less

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less
