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.

Gate: War of Two Worlds. A Gate story loosely based on the Gate manga/anime. It starts similer and then goes on its own stories.... more>>

It is a story when a alien Empire invades Philadelphia throught a magical Gate in the year 2025. The US leads a NATO-led war in Humanity first interstellar war.

A Ranger united called Vanguard-7 is led by Major Sharpe. He will have to face the unknown of this world while facing his past and upholding his ideals.

Being summoned to another world, Claude Evers finds himself in an all too familiar situation: He is a hero, destined for GREATNESS. There's only one problem - his attack and magic capabilities are basically zero. He must rely on his wit and personal abilities, rather than his attributes, to succeed. That, and his mysterious 999 Critical stat, which appears to be maxed out.... more>>

Faced with no other choice, Claude becomes his master's... chef? With such fearsome enemies in this new world, what solutions can Claude hope to cook up?

This is a tale of a normal man who delivers delicious food while cutting his way through his opponents by exploiting critical attacks on weaknesses. And the many other summoned heroes who possess advantages that Claude doesn't have. This new world is not what it appears to be.

Tibs survived by picking pockets; until he’s caught.... more>>

Instead of losing a hand, he’s sent away and told he must now survive a dungeon.

How is a kid who knew nothing more than his street supposed to survive a dungeon that changes each time he goes in it?

Being sent into an ever-growing dungeon becomes his life, facing ever-changing threats to him and the people he tries so hard not to become attached to. He’d like to run away, but where the dungeon means he might die, the guards have made it clear trying to run will ensure he does.

But his street taught Tibs to get back up after he’s beaten down. So he isn’t going to just give up. And maybe, just maybe, if he’s tough enough to take a chance on people, and on a deal for power he’s advised against taking, Tibs can not only survive, but beat those who seem to stack the odds against him. <<less

Volume One: Colorless... more>>

-Who is Autumn Aubrey?

A Maiden of Zenithcidel that has escaped after being branded a thief by The Circle of the Nine Mothers for stealing The Well, an ethereal construct housing the memories of every sorceress that has ever lived.

-Who does Autumn Aubrey say she is?

Dani Matthews, the girl that just moved in to the third floor room of a old boarding house. She is definitely a mortal and not magic, her face is undoubtedly her face and not an illusion, and her little blue kitten can absolutely not talk. Trust her, she wouldn't lie to you.

Hidden away on the mortal plane after running away from Zenithcidel, Autumn is forced to relive the near infinite memories housed within her mind to try and free herself of her debt. With a impatient landlord, a antagonistic familiar, and a dark entity threatening to reveal her identity and send her back to the restrictive confinement she narrowly escaped, can she withstand a threat to her fragile freedom so unexpected that the collected wisdom of uncountable sorceresses couldn't prepare her for?

Making a friend.

TLDR:

- Updates twice weekly, every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:00 PM EST

- Weak to strong MC

- Focus on MC's mental state and psychology

- Soft magic system that grows harder as MC learns more.

- Long. (Currently have 13 volumes planned if all goes well.)

- Talking kitten. <<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>>

First, I'm posting this Novel on Webnovel as well, but I have decided to start posting here as well.
In there, it's one chap every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.... more>>

As this is severely behind, I'll post 3 chapters per day until we catch up with it, though that might take a few months.
Since it's a lot of chapters, in order to make this simpler and easier for me, I'll try to correct any mistake you guys point out, but please, don't be angry if I don't.
I'll prioritize my Novel on Webnovel, that's all.
There are many mistakes people marked to me over the years, and I fixed most, but when I have 100 comments per day on Webnovel, it gets a bit difficult to fix them all, so in the case I don't fix it, please, give me a break, you can always remember me once or twice, perhaps on that day I'll be keener on just doing it, but I'm only Human after all.

Lastly, I used to post this Novel here, but I stopped due to some problems, hopefully, this time I won't stop.

That's it, peace.

He gains a second chance in a parallel world studying and researching for decades in order to find a way to travel to other worlds, only to once again die alone, overworked, alone, and bored, achieving nothing.
In the end, he achieved power, respect, and fame, but he still wasn't satisfied.
Yet destiny has something reserved for this hardworking man.
Will he now achieve his dreams in a world of magic and Gods, with power from another world? Or will he be shunned for being different?

Wrath. Greed. Sloth. Hubris. Envy. Gluttony. And Lust.
Hell's an interesting place, filled with interesting people.... more>>

It's been a couple of months since the incident at the Brimstone Institute of Demonics, where a dreaded Devil held the school's populace hostage and forced one of its staff to fight him, one-on-one. Though much time has passed since Cobalt Trayer ripped Diate's head clean from his shoulders, he remains haunted by the sanguine memories of that day, and finds himself struggling more and more with the infernal pain deep in his stomach.

As stress begins to pile up, between his students' upcoming final exams and his own personal struggles, Cobalt finds himself suddenly becoming the victim of his own reputation as he is sought out and tracked down by forces unseen.

The afflictions of an Incubus carry many ramifications, and he will be judged for them. <<less

-Demands to Survive an Otherwordly, Endless War: Resilience, Coordination, Lots of Guns, and a Hint of Love and Fun to Keep You Sane...... more>>

That's what it takes to live for misguided, ill-fated soldiers, born with a sole purpose, cursed with infertility and limited mortality, with no hope in a better world. Could they see their end of days and be spared of such a nonsensical burden, or would they die trying? The world of Echobyss explores that struggle at a large scale in a constant, fast-paced war that explores the inner and global conflict of the people doomed to live it despite how pointless it may be. <<less

Sixteen-year-old Thenio Iterune has a simple plan for his life: Work hard. Do well in school. Become a qualified wizard. Earn a good living. And maybe even make his parents proud of him someday.... more>>

Unfortunately, the plan isn't going too well....

Thenio's magic power is becoming increasingly difficult to control, which leads to a series of accidents that are about to cost him his hard-earned spot at the Kafron Royal Academy of Magic. And things don't get any better when he finally discovers the source of his problems: He has an extremely rare and unstable magic affinity. And it's going to do more than just get him expelled. It's probably going to get him killed.

Before he knows it, Thenio has gone from diligent student to disabled dropout. And forget about career plans...he'll be lucky if he even lives long enough to need a job in the first place.

Enter Iggy, a tiny black dragon who loves chasing birds and has a remarkable nose for magic. He takes an immediate liking to the scent of Thenio's unique magic and convinces his wizard partner, Ariom, to help find a way to stabilize it.

Are a genius enchanter and his slightly crazy dragon familiar enough to keep a chronically explosive boy alive? Maybe. But that's before demons get added into the mix....

Updates are irregular at the moment, but I'll get back to a weekly schedule as soon as I can.

When the First Wizarding War ended, and Lord Voldemort chased out Dumbledore from Hogwarts, he became the undisputed leader of the Wizarding World, cementing his rule as the new Minister of Magic. Yet everyone in power knew the war was far from over; it was now waged behind closed curtains and under the table. Behind the veil of secrecy, those still loyal to Dumbledore continued to fight, waging guerilla-like warfare against him and his forces, drawing in other countries' wizards and witches, opposing Voldemort and his plans to dominate all magic. ... more>>

The Anguine family, home of pure-blood wizards, part of Voldemort's new Ministry of Magic, were often tasked with confronting the Order of the Phoenix, raising their reputation year by year. Born into the Anguine family, Conrad just came to age, ready to attend Hogwarts to start his studies. He was excited to go to a school he had heard about from his father many times, but times have changed. It is not like in the old days. But who knows? One day, the school may return to what it was before the Era of Darkness.

---- Author's Notes:

Dear Readers! I'd like to welcome you to my first foray into writing fanfic and into doing a book from a first-person point of View. As to what to expect, let me give you more details so you won't be disappointed if it is not your cup of tea!

- An alternate timeline: Voldemort killed the Potters and Harry as a baby. He never lost his body, thus winning the 1st Wizarding War.
- Of course, a battle is still going on in the background, but that will only come later in the story.
- Being in an alternate timeline, the dates may be a little bit off, but the story will mostly play out in the same time frame as the original.
- Being an altered history, some main characters will not show up, and I mainly mean Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Or any of the Dumbledore supporting cast. (at least for a good portion of the story). For obvious reasons. If this is not what you want, please understand that I am going for a familiar yet different story than the original. I am taking inspiration from the original plot, but I am not planning mirroring it 1:1.
- Of the returning characters, some may have altered personalities, although I will try my best to remain true to their book counterpart. But I will also think up "what would they have done" scenarios and modify their personality to match the alternative world we are in. I hope you will still enjoy it; that is my goal. To entertain you.
- There is no transmigration, no isekai tropes, no reincarnation, no knowledge of in-lore events, none of that. The main character is someone who is born in-universe.

Lastly, the story should be able to maintain my plan of 3 chapters per week. (I plan to post mostly on the weekends). I will take this slowly, focusing more on slice-of-life elements, exploring, and learning magic. Coming to age. Things like that. Thank you for reading so far down on my description, and I hope we are going to have a great, fun time together! <<less

*The above is the novel blurb for the first book of this series. Keep in mind that this is a tragic, grimdark progression fantasy, so there are many sad moments that help to characterize the protagonist throughout the series.

What do you do when your final hope fails? What do you do when the people you are trying to protect are the reason for your own destruction?

That is when you recall. You recall each and every step that led to this, think, and try to find a solution for it because nobody else can. But the story is neither yours nor mine. This story is about Ahnaf, a normal high school guy living a perfect life in England with his mom. Suddenly, things take a turn when an accident occurs, and he starts developing superpowers.

Inspired by Sword Art Online
They called it "The Game" – a hundred floors of brutal challenges where the elite advance and the weak are culled.
When the mandatory neural interface activates on your 18th birthday, there's no logging out. Your body lies in stasis while your mind fights for survival. Miss your weekly killing quota, and it's game over – your consciousness "preserved" for purposes no player truly understands.... more>>

Three strangers enter this mandatory death game: Alexander, the privileged corporate heir with combat skills engineered into his genes; Elijah, whose inexplicable connection to the whispers of preserved minds grows stronger with each ascent; and Lyra, an Unaligned sector rat with illegal neural modifications who shouldn't even be there.

It's not until Floor 4 that fate forces them together – Alexander and Elijah with their pre-selected team, Lyra surviving alone through technical ingenuity. They were never meant to trust each other. Their alliance should have been temporary – a means to survive the Green Realm's deadly forests and the killing quota that demands blood each week.

But as they rise through desert wastelands, underwater cities, and volcanic hells, they discover The Game is far more than a sadistic entertainment system.
It's population control. It's consciousness harvesting. It's preparation for something coming from deep space that humanity isn't ready to face.

And at Floor 100, only three options await the few who make it: return to a privileged physical existence, join the digital consciousness collective, or become part of the mysterious Project Ascendant.
Unless these three can find what the system's designers concealed – a hidden fourth option that could transform not just their fate, but the very foundation of society on Terminus.

In a world where reality is stratified and your mind is the ultimate commodity, the deadliest game isn't played with weapons, but with the code underlying existence itself and three unlikely allies whose bond transcends conventional relationships

Note - if you aren't interested in the backstory, they start in the game on chapter 26. <<less

Dear Inspector,... more>>

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player.

Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign?

Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good.

Sincerely,
Randel, the Mad Painter <<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.
