I was always alone... Throughout my life, loneliness was my constant companion. People looked at me with disdain, for I was an orphan without parents. Growing up in isolation, I lost touch with how to interact with others. With each passing day, I grew more distant from my emotions until I scarcely recognized myself. The warmth of family and friendship felt foreign to me. In the end I became what I hated the most...... more>>

That was until I was reincarnated as Lucas Nightstar, granted a second chance at a happy life with a loving family. Now, I would do anything to protect them, live my life to the fullest, and was willing to destroy anyone who dares stand in my way of my newfound peace. Yet...

Little did I know what fate had in store for me.

The protagonist of the story is a young girl who feels disappointed and unloved by her mother. She believes that her mother expected her to be a perfect daughter, but she never felt like she could live up to those expectations. She longs for love and acceptance but feels like a failure. One day, she decides to escape from her strict home and goes for a walk. However, she is tragically hit by a car, and as she lies dying, she reflects on her life and accepts her fate. But was the act of the driver really their fault?... more>>

Note: This is a story done in first-person point of view, designed to be a continuous, flowing narrative. The story is presented in parts rather than traditional chapters, each part seamlessly connecting to the next, creating a sense of progression and development in the protagonist's life. But I'm just an amateur writer, so I know that there may be some rough spots or inconsistencies in the narrative. There's also some time skips. <<less

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

____________________________________

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Lust was reduced to the point of being a sin.

Is it really a sin?

If it is a sin then there is no next generation or not future at all.

……………

I was betrayed on the very day I let my guard down,

Sold to thugs and became the bitch of many,

Got my revenge using my body to gain prestige on the dark side of the world?

On the day I was fucked my 10 thousandth dick target, I got two invitations.

One is the will of lust and the other is to enter the real word.

……….

So the world I have lived till now is a sanctuary,

There is the real world and a fantasy world.

All the fantasy worlds are literary works like movies, anime, and other stories.

From the will of lust I got the special perverted patch for the fantasy system.

OK, the series has 5 books written (3 and 5 need edits) and I'm writing the 6th. I'll put out 2 chapters a week on Sunday/Wednesday. My chapter sizes were out of this world and I've tried to make them more compatible with this format; sorry if things get too long/short.

Books 1,2 feature Helen/Mackie as protagonists; 3/4/5 Demia/Melindra; and book six introduces Zoe. Not a lot of sex scenes until deep into the series, as a warning.

Closest parallel to the series in Nine Princes in Amber. The Edens get along better...maybe too much better. Incestuous themes warning. <<less
