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.

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

*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.

-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

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

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

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.

Note: Volume 1 is a mix of Gate cannon and original work. Volume 2 is mostly a copy of the Italica Arc. Starting Chapter 25 is when the book becomes mostly original with only light story arcs from the gate cannon but with my twist.

written by Takumi Yanai and illustrated by Daisuke Izuka and Kurojish, all rights remain with them.

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.

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?

In a world ruled by pirates, Jack stands out as a fearsome warrior who only seeks two things: battles and women. He is a man who enjoys the thrill of the fight and the passion of the flesh, and he wanders the world in search of both. With the Bodily Refinement Bead, a powerful tool that enhances his strength and agility, he takes on any opponent who crosses his path.... more>>

Starting his journey from the West Blue, Jack encounters a variety of challenges and obstacles, each one more difficult than the last. He faces off against other pirates, marauding sea creatures, and even mythical beasts from ancient legends. But despite the dangers he faces, he remains fearless and undaunted, always ready for the next challenge.

Along the way, he meets many women who are drawn to his strength and his charisma. Some of them are pirates, while others are innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of his battles. But no matter who they are, they all fall for his rugged charm and his unbridled passion.

Despite his love of battle and women, Jack still has a heart. He cares deeply for his family, especially his beloved daughter, who he adores above all else. And while he seeks the thrill of the fight, he is never cruel or malicious, always treating his opponents with respect and dignity.

As he travels the seas, Jack encounters many legendary figures from the age of pirates, including the likes of Garp, Roger, and Xebec. But he does not see them as enemies, only as worthy opponents who he would love to fight someday. And with each battle he wins, he grows stronger, more skilled, and more determined to live life to the fullest.

In the end, Jack's journey is one of adventure, passion, and excitement. He is a man who lives for the moment, never afraid to take risks or face danger head-on. And whether he is battling pirates on the high seas or seducing women in exotic locales, he does so with a zest for life that is truly inspiring.

**I am currently writing three novels simultaneously - One Piece with Bodily Refinement Bead, Bleach with Soul Cube, and Naruto with Divine Purple Card.

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

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

In a universe where former Captain Gin Ichimaru gets a second chance at life, he reincarnates as a silver-haired, ice-blue-eyed whippersnapper named Kazuki. Our hero, born in the rugged streets of Rukongai, is destined for greatness, or at least that's what we're all hoping.... more>>

Before the notorious Aizen could even hold a Zanpakuto, Kazuki's path intersects with a certain Isshin Shiba. Taking one look at the crafty twinkle in Kazuki's eye and sensing his incredible spiritual pressure, Isshin, in a fit of inspiration or insanity (it's still up for debate), decides to adopt him into the Shiba Clan. Because who wouldn't want to bring home a random Rukongai kid who might or might not have been a former Serpent Captain in his past life?

Kazuki's life takes an interesting turn as he swaps the harsh streets of Rukongai for the chaotic and boisterous Shiba household. Sharing a roof with the vivacious Kukaku, the exuberant Yoruichi, and our very own future-clinic-owner Isshin, Kazuki learns the true meaning of the phrase 'a blessing in disguise'. From mastering the art of making tea to dealing with Yoruichi's mischievous antics, every day is a new adventure.

Just when Kazuki begins to think he can get used to this semi-normal life, his journey takes another detour. Destiny knocks on his door, armed with an acceptance letter from Shin'o Academy. Join Kazuki as he trades his days of home chores for the Shinigami life, getting schooled in the ways of the Gotei 13, and navigating the awkward teen years (again!).

Expect familiar faces, plot twists at every corner, and a steady supply of sarcasm as Kazuki crosses paths with the ever-stoic Lisa and others. Will he uncover the secret to his past life, or will he be too busy surviving explosive Kido classes and Hollow hunting?

"Second Time's the Charm" is a thrilling, humorous, and at times absurd dive into a world where second chances come wrapped in a Shinigami robe and a packet of washing detergent. Strap in, because the world of Bleach has never been this chaotic, or this much fun!
-------
You have been warned!!!

Slow-paced storytelling: The novel focuses on slice-of-life events, so you should be prepared for a leisurely narrative with a slower progression of major plot points.

Memory retrieval: Kazuki's memories from his past life(Gin Ichimaru) will gradually resurface over time. If you prefer a story with immediate recollection or rapid development, this may not be the right fit.

Harem elements: The novel incorporates a harem dynamic, with Kazuki attracting the romantic interest of multiple characters. While this adds to the romantic subplot, some readers may have personal preferences or find it off-putting. I am thinking of 10 or so Harem members and not Gotta Catch 'em All.

Limited action and battles in early chapters: While there will be battles and action sequences, the focus of the story lies more on character development and interpersonal relationships. Readers seeking intense combat scenarios or continuous action may need to adjust their expectations.

Romantic comedy elements: Kazuki's interactions with Yoruichi provide moments of humor and levity, but the novel also includes romantic comedy elements. If you are not a fan of romantic comedy or prefer a different genre, please take note. <<less

In the grungy back-alleys of Meteor City, where chaos is order and danger is as common as air, a peculiar baby is found by Feitan, a teenage delinquent with a flair for violence and a suspiciously stylish cloak. This isn't just any baby, though. Oh no! This little one is Haruto, the reincarnation of Meruem, the terrifyingly powerful King of the Chimera Ants, now reborn into the messy world of humanity.... more>>

As it turns out, having a past life as a hyper-intelligent, super-powered ant king doesn't grant you any exemptions from diaper changes or terrible twos. Haruto, now an infant with an already apparent air of majesty and an oddly intense gaze, becomes the unlikely little brother of the unsociable Feitan.

With Meteor City as their chaotic playground, the mismatched pair navigates the ups and downs of brotherhood - including squabbles over candy theft, unexpected life lessons, and the occasional Nen-powered brawl. Soon enough, they are joined by Phinx, a boisterous fighter with strength and ambition in equal measure, and Canary, a young, no-nonsense girl with a mean right hook.

As Haruto grows older, his kingly traits shine brighter, albeit coated with the cheeky charm of a child. Slowly, fragments of his past life as Meruem trickle in, and he starts aiming for greatness - because why settle for a backyard kingdom when you can aspire for the world?

Prepare for a roller-coaster of laughs, squabbles, heartwarming brotherly moments, and just a dash of existential crisis as Haruto, Feitan, and their motley crew tackle life in Meteor City head-on, always reaching for the stars... and maybe the occasional ice cream truck.

This fanfiction combines humor, brotherhood, and the trials of growing up in Meteor City, providing an entertaining exploration of familiar characters in a fresh setting. With Haruto's kingly personality and the eccentricities of his newfound family, the stage is set for a journey full of laughter, growth, and meteoric ambition.

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And... more>> she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with satisfaction tingling beneath my skin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”
