It all starts with a video game. A simple video game. Sako and Kiyomi purchased a brand-new MMORPG called "Qurecynthia", only to get sucked right into the game when choosing their classes. It is quite the inconvenience for Sako as she has a life to get back to. For Kiyomi, not so much. But still, they must find a way to return to their reality. Fortunately, death is not permanent, but there are potentially heavy penalties, such as varying degrees of pain and losing all their gear.... more>>

There is at least one way, and that is to defeat the Demon Lord, the hardest boss in the entire game. It is a tall task. They must prepare themselves by grinding out levels and obtaining endgame gear, then maybe they will stand a fair chance against her despite the fact that hardly anyone can vanquish her: her stats and abilities are absurd. And sadly, the moderator they encounter refuses to nerf her.

Sako and Kiyomi will have to be smart and persistent in their ultimate goal. It will take much time and much effort. But each has a head start: Sako is a martial artist, and Kiyomi is a veteran of video games. With these two advantages, they are already much more powerful than the average player.

...But they are still just high school girls, so mistakes are inevitable... <<less

“Bring Hell From The Heavens, For The Throne Of Volk” -motto of the Volk First Royal Airborne as of M31.004... more>>

The Volk System is mired in conflict as embers from the Burning of Prospero make their way to its relative sanctuary. A humble standard bearer risks their life to accomplish an impossible task and is rewarded with lifetime service to the Crown of Volk and its soon-to-be wearer, one Freya Foxway. It's a long way to have come for an orphan raised by the proprietor of a bar in the seedier parts of Sokarin, but the gods' favour is always earned and this soldier will not yet reach Valhalla. After all, they still have work to do.

While this is fanfiction for Warhammer 40k/Warhammer: the Horus Heresy (it’s a whole thing ask about it at your own risk), I like to think that prior knowledge of the universe is not required for full enjoyment. If you'd like to learn more about something I mention ask about it in the comments!

Note for Warhammer nerds: this fic does take place during the Horus Heresy, however, I have never read any of the books and I do not intend to. If I commit a lore crime, you are welcome to call me out, but note that I am not bound by the cannon. (For example: I will include female space marines. If you don’t like it then please keep that to yourself! Thanks!)

To seek strength is a human instinct. It is birthed by the urge to satisfy human nature. The urge to abuse this strength, too, is in the nature of all humans, suppressed barely by ideals in the form of spiritual mentorship.... more>>

Accordingly, when the road to attaining strength is opened for a meager share of a population, billions must suffer.

For the human civilization of planet Triton, this was a century of self-discovery. For the common man, this was an era of envy. And for the mages blessed by the architects of human civilization, this was a stage to pursue unprecedented glory and power.

It has been 97 years since the humans of planet Triton became conscious of their origin, a mystery spanning beyond their planet, spanning beyond many millennia, waiting to be uncovered in the treacherous sea of stars. The architects have resurfaced, all twelve of them, from the dust left in history by epics and myths.
Beyond the common man's vision, the architects orchestrate their own plans. Beyond the architects' plans lie their common purpose, their hopes and dreams for the all races, every form of life, and all that lies beyond life.

And tonight, a miracle beyond it all has been sparked; a miracle...that may not bring forth fortune, but the shadow of an erased truth; a miracle birthed by brutality and vengeful hunger.
And among all mentors of human instinct, vengeance presents to you your most magnificent self, and to mankind your most abominable form. <<less

The tale begins with how most ends: kingdoms unite to fight the Blighted Multitude, heroes lead the brave thousands, the final stand for survival was at hand. But the tale would not have a victorious end, unlike those sung by the bards. ... more>>

As half of the lands had fallen to the march of the Blighted Multitude, so will the other—defeat was what Hiero, a Draecontyr, one who stole power from the dragons, foresaw. Hiero sets in motion a plan to destroy all, the continent, along with the Blighted Multitude, gambling there’d be a handful of survivors to continue onward. A bleak future, but the only option in his mind.

Three centuries later, Hiero awakens.

Being alive was the least of his surprises. Expecting a land ravaged by unquenchable flames, with a handful struggling to survive, he instead beheld a kingdom where peace and prosperity abound. Follow Hiero as he pieces together lost history and prepares for its repeat. For if he is alive, so too is the ancient evil he tried to bring down with him.

He comes to realize that the greatest threat to his newfound haven may originate from within his own being.

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

A generation after the last Great War, the world prospers while leaving the BloodStar Empire sequestered and alone. However, things begin to change as the next BloodStar heir aims to make new allies in a world more willing to forgive her empire’s tragic past of violence. The beautiful and young Xenia BloodStar is a world-class beauty, a calculating politician, and an immensely powerful ki user. In an established world ruled by Master Families, will the Princess BloodStar use her beauty and power to elevate her empire on the world stage? Or will she follow in her mother’s footsteps of violence and war?... more>>

For those interested, there is an uncensored version (about 10% longer) with more sex and more violence on the Patreon (all posts are free and public). But be warned, if you know Xenia, then you may not be surprised to know she likes to mix her sex and violence together. If that's not your thing, then I'd stick to the story here on Scribble Hub which has 100% of the actual story and still has sex but is often abbreviated or less violent. Thank you all!

John Thomas is the typical thirty-something nobody. He spent most of his life growing up being the underdog. From his time in elementary to his high school years, he endured the ridicule of bullies or being the ass end of someone's joke. To say he's never seen the opposite sex would be an understatement. Too good for his own good is what his mother always told him. It's the age-old story of the Isekai protagonist. For him and everyone else his age, that changed the moment the Great war began. Overnight, the nations of humanity draft millions to fight in an unwinnable war that threatens to wipe humanity out. John, like countless others, fought from... more>> the age of 16 to the age of 27 in a world war against a powerful unknown enemy. He becomes a marine gaining critical training and knowledge.

Ten years after the end of the great war, his life will change.

One day, while on the way to work at night, his car suddenly burst into flames. A freak accident that leaves him dead. Or so he thought. Now he wakes up in an unknown forest.

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.
