Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city, even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them. ... more>>

With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City.

In a world of action, comedy, tragedy and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure themed superhero journey, that will include slice of life, action, and hopefully interesting world building. Will also contain a slow burn GL plotline I'll get to eventually when I feel like it I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

New chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. <<less

200 years in the future Earth is inhabited by aliens. After being colonized by the Regal Empire and gaining independence, Earth now has hybrids called... more>> astrals.

Ace tries his hardest, but his hardest is never enough, and is always worried he isn't as strong as everyone else, trying to prove he's a hero and a man.
One day he finds a magic watch. A watch that hates him.
His dreams of becoming a hero will finally come true. Sadly he is too focused on winning and never learns. <<less

College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Her awkwardness and nervous stuttering meant that just talking to people was hard enough, not to mention romance. ... more>>

Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that.

Faced with five handsome leads to pursue, the future looks bright and filled with possibilities. But as she fumbles through grueling classes, terrible advice, and gaming the system in Heartthrob University, it seems that getting isekai'd might not be the magical cure-all she hoped for. But that's ok. Even if cruel reality threatens her do-over, she can always try again.

And again.

And again. <<less

After three decades, Simon's life isn't what he hoped it would be. Taking his destiny into his own hands he decides to find another world where he can be the hero he was always meant to be. It turns out there's more to combat than having lightning reflexes with his controller though, and the path to being a hero is more brutal than he can imagine. Death after Death is a dark, sardonic take on the Isekai genre with roguelike elements. It explores some of the common tropes in a different light. ... more>>

Orodan was a an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. However calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself and Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death for him. Only for him to wake up again on the day of.... more>>

In a world of skills, titles and blessings; a smart time looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front, going around is not an option. Instead batter it with your head thousands of times till either the wall breaks or you do. And gain skill levels along the way.

Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be? ... more>>

Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing?

They do not.

When you are not doing anything, we stay still.

To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game.

But at least, you have your own life.

While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads.

This is my destiny.

I'm not jealous. Not at all.

It is nice of the Mandrago family to help Emily develop the skills to kill them all.... more>>

When Emily Coldstone discovers the lightning gem in the smouldering ruins of a crashed airship, her own fate, along with that of those she loves and those she hates, is sealed. Experimenting with the gem’s powers, Emily is awakened as a Mage and finds herself inducted into a secret world of magic by a mysterious entity, who sets her a task that will take her from the slums of her birth to war in the far reaches of space.

For Emily is far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Not only is Emily a Mage, she is a Mechanic; her talents combining to create a Technomancer, a being capable of building herself an indestructible body, an army of spell-flinging robots, and her very own time machine.

Han Nao, the youngest son of an illustrious general, always wanted to be a hero. He wants to move through the skies on a flying sword, unleashing blows and techniques on villains and rescuing beauties. Alas, due to his poor health which prevented him from cultivating qi, he only had to seek solace in good plentiful food and contemplative crystals showing the adventures of real heroes. Han hoped that someday he would find a great mentor who could appreciate his talent, transform him from a scum and disgrace of the clan into a hero of legends. Except he hadn't heard that his wishes were to be feared. Because they sometimes come true, and sometimes much... more>> better than one could imagine.

What Luke had been expecting was a first day as a new employee at an IT company. Instead, what he got was a first day in a completely new world, full of menacing monsters and unknown dangers lurking beyond each and every corner.... more>>

After giving a group of monsters a run for their money and almost dying, Luke's life was saved by a mysterious old man who would grant him a great power that would allow him to defy the laws of time and space themselves.

But Luke would soon learn that using such a power had a steep price - namely, his death.

This will be a story involving a magic system based on elementals and artifacts, as well as slower-paced MC strength progression, with dark and gritty undertones.

After Lumine and her friends were killed by a cursed gun, they were given a second chance at life in another world as its defenders. Lumine, now equipped with power over time, must deal with... her friends making dumb decisions that would constantly get them in near-death situations; either having dinosaurs chasing after them or having kings waging wars against them.... more>>

In this new world, they are faced with clouds that rain lava, and fire. Snakes that are used as light bulbs, a floating ocean, a nation inside of a toad, and more.

Of course, Lumine spends most of her time gaining new powers from skill cards or going on murder sprees to level up. <<less

The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality. Everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret. One that gave him an edge. He had lived through this exact series of events... 99 times in a row.... more>>

Anthony needed to take advantage of all he accomplished over the past centuries: every play, shortcut, and strategy, to save as many lives as possible by the end. He would contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever watching eyes of the system administrators, and watch his back from the scheming players that wanted the game to go their way no matter the cost.

In a world where every individual has their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Anthony must use all of his considerable experience to gain a powerful class and put the scared populace on the right track and take out threats before they become too big. There will be no more chances; win or lose, his 100th run shall be his last.

Book One is now available on Amazon & Audible, audiobook narrated by Daniel Thomas May!

A man is reincarnated in the Mass Effect Universe. At first, he was kinda scared about the possibility of dying to the Reapers, or other dangers across the huge galaxy. But, he persevered and, after making friends with Shepard and the crew, won the final battle.... more>>

He was happy and thrilled about the possibilities of his new life after the war. But, on the day he turned 28 years old, he returned back in time, to when he was a baby.

He was confused and mortified by the weird situation, but, our MC didn't let that shake his confidence. So, he tackled the plot of the game once more. But, again, after he turned 28, he returned in time. He finally had to admit to himself he was trapped in some sort of time loop but decided to continue ahead with his life(s). The problem was, this didn't happen just once.

2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times... 9 times. It slowly changed him, to the point he lost the will to try after a few cycles. He realized what he was doing was meaningless, because no matter what he did, the changes he made, nothing mattered, as he would be thrown back in time anyway. So, he deviated from the plot and started to study a variety of things and he didn't care about the fate of the galaxy anymore.

In those subsequent loops, he managed to become a master/expert in a lot of things, but the time loop never changed, and the MC started to lose hope of living a normal life.

But, after the 9 loop, he felt something different from the other cycles! Perhaps this is his final one?

Follow along and watch our MC conquer the whole galaxy, fighting the dangers inside it, and possibly getting a few girls along the way!

Official Title: The Criswell's Curse... more>>

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 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.”
"

Please read the Author’s Note before digging into the story, it is very short.
