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.

'Kinsoriel, one of the oldest dragons across all of Gairemeer, was the target of many. This wasn’t of any issue to him though, he relished it in fact. Dealing out death to so-called heroes was almost a hobby for him. That ended today, however. This time, his enemies had a hidden weapon on their side, one that would force this scaled menace to become the thing he hated most; a man. Now in the body of a man, the dragon must make a life changing journey to regain his true form, seeing the world through a new pair of eyes.'... more>>

That was how it was supposed to happen. In an inexplicable event, the dragon avoided what was written out for him, instead bringing the Author of this world with him. If that wasn't bad enough, the book that gave him the power to do anything in this setting went missing at the same time. Figuring out how this happened can come later. At the moment, Benjamin- the Author in question- needs to get his book back to put things the way they should be. But to do that, he'll need to get on his human loathing main character's good side. Can they put aside their differences long enough to get what they both want? Or will they destroy one another? <<less

Chika is an adventurer who completely idolizes and idealizes her profession. In her mind being an adventurer means being capable of anything, and being able to use any and every skill in existence. Art, science, math, every kind of magic imaginable, every weapon imaginable. In other words, she believes an adventurer is someone who lives in a sandbox environment, a place with absolute freedom to be anything and everything you want.... more>>

Unfortunately for her, those days have long since passed, and in current times adventurers divide themselves into ranks and classes, preferring specialization in order to then form teams. Teams that she is left out of because there is always a supposed better option.

This is the story of how the adventurer Chika climbs her way from going without food for over a month to becoming the founder of the 11th great guild and eventually becoming one of the few people to ever live that is wealthy enough to obtain a legendary mithril coin.

Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to cancel him for speaking his mind. War is just too triggering for the young minds of this generation.

But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.

But Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them all.

What happens when myths become our reality? For Saxon, it means a lot more mysteries he needs to solve.... more>>

From gods like Hermes to scientific theories like Schrödinger's cat to legends of human history like King Leonidas to cryptids like Bigfoot, anything can become a myth. It is avatars who bring those myths into reality. In exchange, they are granted powers based on their interpretation of the mythos they embody.

Saxon is one such avatar, but that's not all he is. Saxon's a detective too, and despite his passion for wild theories, and willingness to bend the law a li̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ lot to test them, he's pretty good at what he does.

So when avatars start exhibiting unnatural behavior, Saxon may be the only person who can figure out what or who is the cause.

Rein, on the cusp on adulthood, found his family and town destroyed by forces beyond his understanding. Thus, the destiny within his heart called to him to seek out the cause of his calamity. So begins his journey as an advancer-- a title given to those who use magic to shape the world to their will.... more>>

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

The Trials of Veridonia tells the intertwined stories of Saraya, an architect of peace, and Raylon, a warrior torn between his desire for solitude and his noble duties, in the shattered world of Veridonia. Following a divine rebellion that fragmented the land into sky islands, Saraya embarks on a quest to reunite the divided territories under a banner of peace and equality, facing resistance from gods and vampires alike. Meanwhile, Raylon, heir to the Celestia family, grapples with his powerful legacy and the expectations it brings, as his path crosses with Saraya's mission. Together, they navigate the complex politics of sky islands, confront personal and external challenges, and fight for a unified future. "The Trials... more>> of Veridonia" is a narrative of resilience, the search for peace in a conflicted world, and the sacrifices made for the greater good.

A misunderstanding allowed Orion to be summoned before the goddess of war instead of his best friend, who had initially annoyed the goddess. ... more>>

Luckily for Orion, the misunderstanding was cleared by the goddess’s sister, who also allowed Orion to understand the true reason behind his summoning.

With his mind made up to not only live as he pleases but also prevent the two goddesses from fading into obscurity, Orion’s soul safely transmigrated into the game world.

Upon waking up in this new world, Orion discovered he had woken up in the body of a prince who also happened to be a villain in the game.

In the game, Prince Orion Azvameth was fated to not only lose his half-sister and her mother but was also destined to lose his personal maid, who sacrificed herself for him.

As if the cruelty he was meant to suffer wasn’t enough, his kingdom was destined to be plagued with both internal and external problems while he was destined to die at the hands of the protagonist after being used as a puppet by a Greater Demon.

With all this weighing on his mind, Orion vowed to not only change his fate but also that of those he cared about.

However, his actions were bound to create a butterfly effect, and what better way to defy the odds than by ruling the world. <<less

Readers can expect a comedy, grimdark, action, strategy-based novel with a complicated plot. The story will be extremely long with over a 1000 chapters and I hope for it to make a change in some people's lives once it is finished.... more>>

The reason I am writing this story is for myself. Recently over the years, the media seem to be hailing evil characters or the people that go against their humanity and fight God because they disagree with something. I wanted to portray a story where the MC wants to be closer to the Lord but has to commit sins to follow the destiny given to him by the Lord. The other reason is I wanted to write an accurate description of the nature of our Lord to the best of my abilities. This story is meant to give the true image of what a human is and what a God is.

It will be a long slow burn and I hope you enjoy the story

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.

Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

Have you ever wished to live your life in a different world? To forget everything in your life and escape into your own Fantasy Story? To not just have an Avatar that just appears and does things, but to act as an actual person within this world, with their own family, friends, background, and life?... more>>

Fantasy Story Online, the latest VRMMORPG experience, promised an incredibly immersive virtual reality experience, giving any player the ability to create an entire background for their character. A new family, a new home, a new life, and a new story. With its unique approach to virtual reality, making it seem as if your character itself was truly reincarnated inside a fantasy world, the entire industry of videogames was sent into a storm.

Enter Paul, a young man in his nineteens, just entering the second year of college and getting ready to dive into this fantastical game, eager to have a better year at college after working out and gaining some more self-confidence. The thing is, he has social anxiety, and he’s having a really hard time socializing.

Until he met Chris, perhaps his first friend in college, a slightly bratty tomgirl that only wants to poke fun at his social awkwardness, but that is his only hope to learn how to socialize. And perhaps to learn what love is.

When these two souls find themselves inside the Realm of Eternal Night, Obscuritas, as both a Crippled Vampire Prince and a Half-Incubus, they will have to work together to navigate their new second lives in this virtual fantasy world full of Evil Gods, Demons, and the invasions of Eldritch monstrosities every Saturday night.

Yet Fantasy Story Online is a fair game, where it gives a Flaw, it also offers a Trait, and after learning that their characters have become the reincarnations of the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Emperor, who once battled inside the ancient Realm of Murim, things are bound to become crazy and break every conception of what this game even was about to the other Players.

How will Paul deal with the harsh, ruthless politics of the Imperial Vampire Family?

And how will Chris survive this harsh world as a being who must drain the life force of others to sustain himself?

And will Paul ever survive Chris' shenanigans?

Who knows? Maybe even the most unlikely pair will end up becoming the only hope for this war-thorn Realm!
