Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be?
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... more>> jealous. Not at all.

Only for him to wake up again on the day of.... more>>

「BOOK 1: The Two Fools 」
The Bleak Walker named Nolan fought through the light's war. He marched on with his fellow rank-and-file soldiers and held the line for the Heroes against the army of the Overlord of Demons, so that they can save the world from the darkness. As he dies again he found himself back in time before his meeting with the Burned Woman.
This is the tale of a worn-out soldier who had already helped saving the world.

「BOOK 2: The Hearts of Steel 」
The Tower of Nimrod looms and covers four cities; a symbol of arrogance for the inhabitants of the Mesial Continent; a continent where the many races gathered, yet speaking a single language. The Bleak Walker found himself in this new world where the threat of darkness is not present; however, forces of chaos gather, intending to break the tower that symbolize the unity of all.
This is the tale of the fallen.

「BOOK 3: Pale Shine's Fury 」
He awoke in a world that he knew nothing about. In this world he could only dare to survive, knowing that he was lost. This is tale of the unknowing and the Tale of the Pale Shine's Fury. This is the tale of the Lost.

「BOOK 4: A Moment of Silence 」
A vast ocean before him and an island that seems so still compared to the rest. Far from home, Nolan found himself living with a young man named Arel who owns a farm in an island sitting on an ocean. This is the tale of a man who found the happy ending of a world that was truly saved. The tale of a Transmigrator and a Reincarnator...

「BOOK 5: The Weight Of All Things 」
A traveler roamed a land that has been saved by heroes. However, the world isn't as kind to stop.
Powerful beings are in constant wrestle for power. These beings plots in hopes that they could assert their dominance and rid of the spell that has saved this world. Against people who take on the role of monsters. <<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>>

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.

The universe will know her wrath!

Name: Paradox
Species: Snake, ?
Description: A tiny snake with great potential.

That was who I was. That was what I was. A tiny snake with great potential. The sole creation of the Great Core.

It was just us, the Great Core and I, tucked away in our little corner of the World Dungeon. Together, we hid from the bad-things and the Coreless of the world outside - safe from the horrors that would consume us.

Until, one day, the Coreless found us. Until they tried to steal away my creator. Until, with no other option, I swallowed the Great Core that had made me.

Only after that did I become what I was always meant to be.

At last, I became the Great Core's Paradox in more than name.

[The Endless Cycle] began.

Thus begins the story of a little snake zealot and his journey to greatness.

This story may also be found on Royal Road.

Despite being a young master of the Zearthorn sect, Neave is not a cultivator. And if he can have his way, he never will be. Years of daily beatings, bullying, and abuse haven’t been enough to make him change his mind, and the ultimatum from his father won’t be either. ... more>>

Forced to choose between an arranged marriage and a path of cultivation, Neave makes a third choice. In a desperate, last-ditch attempt, he enters a secret vault and encounters a treasure.

A book he should have never touched. 

Trapped in a hellish time loop of death and suffering, he fights waves of demons in an impossible challenge of skill, creativity, and perseverance. 

What will happen when he finally returns? 

Oblivious to the apocalypse he had become. 

Unaware of the horrors he had dragged outside.

The Jester of Apocalypse: Etenity, the first book of the series, is available on Amazon with Kindle Unlimited and Audible!

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!

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch.... more>>

Disclaimer: Please note that this work will also be made available on Royal Road and Webnovel, in addition to its publication here.

Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes.

But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him.

And he succeede—nope.

She happened.

A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game.

"Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!"

Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit.

Usually, the devil did the tempting.

But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill.

What to expect from this story:

A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing.

Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance!

Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. <<less

Ian Dunai is trapped in the only maze an arch-decemancer can't escape.
Time.
Only 1% of the population is blessed with magic affinity at birth. Fewer still have high enough affinities to rule. Ian’s decemancy eclipses all, granting him ultimate control over Death. He conquers cities with a thought and turns them into ruins with a gesture. But overwhelming power isn’t enough to escape the time loop or reveal its purpose.
When Ian discovers a critical clue that he missed years ago, escape is finally at his fingertips.
Little does he know, he's been stuck on layer one.... more>>

A librarian embarks on a risqué adventure to break a painful ejaculation curse placed on him by a succubus ex-lover. To do this, he teams up with a group of kink-plagued beauties to travel the land and gather specific sexual energies by engaging in some really freaky stuff before the clock runs out and terrible consequences ensue. ... more>>

If that’s not enough, he’s being hunted for his cum, which—thanks to his curse—is now a highly potent, magical substance that triggers an overwhelming and addictive rush of ecstasy inside any recipient. One powerful and determined pursuant proves to be extra trouble for our librarian as he learns she will stop at nothing to make him her personal pleasure cow.

Warning: this story has just about every unconventional relationship you can think of, and then some. Stuff to make you slap your forehead and snort milk out your nose.

Expect a high fantasy world full horny, sentient creatures with a touch of D&D that rides on the edge of the absurd. It’s a smut-comedy of horrors for readers who enjoy a few snarky laughs alongside their erotic lit. It's not for everyone, but maybe for you, if you're willing to dip into the weird side a little bit. Every character is depicted as age appropriate. Please enjoy. <<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.

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.”

Yes yes, let's get it out of the way. The title is obviously a play on Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
And while I do plan of trying to go for the same sort of vibe, I want to make two things clear:
1) this is most certainly not a fanfiction
2) while I may be a bit inspired by the general vibe of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it's been years since I read it so don't really expect any similarities
