Who was 'I'? Why had I stepped into his shoes? 'I' didn't know. But I knew one thing. Even if I wasn't the real deal... from here on out, I would be Seol Jihu. And I was going to do things my way.

An indulgent self-insert story into the Second Coming of Gluttony with the usual power trip fantasy stuff. Some things change, others remain the same, and the end game... Well, small ripples become huge waves.

I've had this lying around for a while and kept adding to it for fun here and there, but since it's gotten pretty big, I figured I'd post it for people to read and get some enjoyment out of it if they can.

Enjoy!

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

Disclaimer:

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

This story is primarily hosted on my blog -- https://samaran-daybreak.com/ -- where all the art/map assets can be found as well as the latest chapters. <<less

What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship?... more>>

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran that had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which caused his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wanted to spend some time in his grandfather’s mountain cabin, to unwind. Away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, Islamic terrorists… and that is just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens.

Can he become more than he ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be, while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things:

1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore… anyone’s, but his own.
2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him.
3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about—will rue the day they were born.

You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more.

A novel where the protagonist is an absolute pushover, yet every women he meets seems to fall in love with him.... more>>

He wins by sheer luck despite being strong himself, yet he spares those he defeated just for them to come back stronger than before.

Arrogant nobles that are jealous of his strength and harem are everywhere, yet he humiliates them without suffering any political backlash.

And I, Theodore Gray, lived in a world precisely based on such a novel as a mere extra that wasn't even mentioned once.

Although I had no intention to interfere with the plotline since it would only mean suffering for me, I was already too entangled in it to back out now.

WARNING: I cannot stress this enough. If you don't like confusing stuff and MC killing innocents (adults and/or children) (not senselessly of course), then this novel is clearly not for you.

If you're here for the GB tag then you'll have to wait until chapter 76 until you somewhat get what you want.

Full Title: An Author's Guide: How To Survive As Your Dark Fantasy Novel's MC!
================
"Novels are written and read as an act of defiance against the fact that we have but one life to live."... more>>

Zayne Morgan, 24 years old, was a decently successful web novel author, who just finished his web serial!
Because of a request from one of his biggest and most frequent donators, he agrees to the idea of his next work being a revised version of his previous one, but with a twist!
The concept of his new novel is that he gets reincarnated into the body of his MC!
Interested by the novelty of the idea, Zayne agrees after a few changes.

But he never expected that he'd actually get reincarnated!

Good news, he gets reincarnated together with his Girlfriend. The love of his life.
Also good news, because of the aforementioned donator's love for vampires, his girlfriend, Luna, is the last remaining vampire in the story's world!

Bad news... the story he wrote was a Dark Fantasy.
A Dark Fantasy Zayne started writing when he was younger, and had various problems with his family and life in general.
A Dark Fantasy that he'd filled with a large number of serial killers, cannibals, psychopathic murderers, demon summoners, and much much more!

Now, Zayne must strive to use the knowledge of his own novel's world to avoid all the dangerous things his angsty, edgy teenager self wrote, and carve out a place where he can enjoy his married life with Luna!

=====================================
DISCLAIMER: There will be NO HAREM for the MC here. Unless he wants to die at his lover's hands.
Or my drunk self gets a hold of my laptop and makes this a harem.
=====================================
Chapter Length: 1.5k words minimum. The norm is 2000+. It can only be more, never less.
Current Release Schedule: Whenever I finish one!
=====================================

Hello, I'm Lire from the Philippines!
This is a story with characters based on a short story I wrote right after a breakup, way back when I was still too shy to post anything.
The characters in the short story were fifteen, but here, they're already adults and they've been a couple for a pretty long time.

For now, this is a Scribblehub-only novel, but I plan to post it on Royalroad when it gets enough chapters. If you have an account there, please support my novel there as well! (Once it's up there, that is.)
I have around 20 chapters in my backlog at the moment, so if it looks like it's doing well here, I'll post more.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that I make. English isn't my first language, so it'd help me out a lot if you do.

As I mentioned, this was originally written to be posted on Royalroad, and RR does NOT allow smut.
Hence, no smut scenes have been written. (Probably never, since I'm bad at them)
The MC and his lover have sex (naturally), but I do not portray that.
I'm very sorry, citizens of Smuthub!

If you like my work, why don't you try another one of my novels? It's titled [Glimpse of Eternity], and it has a significant amount of chapters out already! (Although it's also a bit rough around the edges since it's my first baby.)

Here's my Royalroad profile, if you're interested!

When he came to his senses, Hiroshi Kishino, an ambitious highschool student, found himself in possession of the body of a game’s character. Except, said game character didn’t exactly leave.... more>>

Moreover, it was Harold Stokes, the story’s most hated character who was even given the title King of Trash by the players.
After a painful, mind-splitting lifelong process of sharing eachother’s memories, and the subsequent ripping apart and re-patching of their egos, how will the two work together to fully utilize Kishino’s knowledge aqcuired from his overly curious mind that also never stopped overthinking the realism of the various worlds he tried to write for his manga?
Oh, and maybe also avoid death using game knowledge along the way. Harold seemed particularly adamant about that one.

BTW: This is intended to be absolutely readable by itself as a stand-alone, but it is a fan rewrite of My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending by Izumi.
My original intent was to rework (I do love the original btw) some of the stuff I didn’t like, put a small twist on a few parts, and to go deeper into some aspects of the plot and characters that I felt could have been further explored. So, mostly keeping to the source material, but as a send off point and rough guideline. So obviously, it’ll have spoilers, but if you’re not going to read My Death Flags, you don’t have to worry about that.

NOTE: I am aware that many people would like me to finish this story through to the end. But please, if you feel similar, do keep the feelings to yourself.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, read the reviews. <<less

Doesn't every reader dream of traveling to the worlds of their favorite novels at least once, even if it's just a passing thought?... more>>

Unfortunately, no matter how much they wish for it, their dreams ultimately remain as figments of their imagination...

However, for one particularly special reader, Leo Lock, that was no longer the case!

Suddenly hearing a strange voice in his head, Leo fainted only to find out that he took over the body of a character from a fantasy novel he once read upon waking up, realizing readers' number one dream! But...

[ Target: Reach the epilogue. ]

The only lead he had to going back to his reality was an impossible task! The character he took over already had its death date confirmed!

Facing this inconceivable situation, Leo couldn’t help but question everything, including his own reality...

Would he manage to go back to his normal life? Or was that simply the beginning of a much bigger change beyond Leo's expectations?

Yet, Fate has other things in store for Astrape. Armed with the knowledge of the future, and seeing how weak the Protagonist was compared to her novel counterpart, Astrape was forced to interact with the plot.

A dark, science fantasy tale of a man, Subject 513, sent to another world as an experimental test subject.... more>>

WARNING: This is not your typical isekai, wish-fulfillment story. You have been warned.

In the year 2022, a mass-transit of test subjects occurred inside the confines of a vast, underground research facility. The 500 or-so individuals taking part in this secret experiment -- labelled: The 1st Beta Phase -- were force-transferred to another world under the direction of Project Prometheus.

These test subjects had one, singular role: to act as "baseline tests" for future, planned experiments.

Among the individuals taking part in the experiment, was Subject 513…

...sirens blared throughout the 4th Research Facility as an anomalous event transpired within one of the many transfer pods...

“Subject 513: missing. Force-transfer procedure has been cancelled. Foreign matter detected.”

Those were the last words uttered by the life-support system monitoring Subject 513’s vitals, as it shut down indefinitely.

As 513’s consciousness faded into the void, his physical presence left on Earth crumbled to dust, blanketing the floor of the transfer pod he was stored within, in grey ash...

...when he awoke, the last few years of his life had seemingly been plucked-away from his memories. And to make matters worse, he found himself trapped under the gaze of a ravenous beast, ready to tear him apart...

Join Subject 513 on his grueling journey of struggle, misery, and search for purpose, as he navigates through an unfamiliar world alone.

What to expect:
-Gore
-Horror
-Humor
-Multiple character focus
-Psychological elements
-Survival
-Tragedy
-Stubborn MC
-Dark, Science-Fantasy Isekai

My goals are to:
-Become a better writer
-Release on a set schedule
-1-week cycle (currently)
-Create exciting scenarios
-Deliver an immersive experience
-Provide a rich, expansive fictional world

How the chapters are divided:
-Normal chapters provide the Micro aspects of the story
-Interlude chapters provide the Macro aspects of the story
-Supplementary chapters provide side stories and miscellaneous information such as maps and journal entries
-All chapters are EQUALLY important

She had welcomed Death with open arms, and was more than happy to spend her afterlife floating in the void. Until a Goddess decides she has better plans for her and offers her a choice any fantasy loving geek would die for. However after accepting the offer she learned the hard way that one should always read the fine print, especially when dealing with a God. ... more>>

Now she's been dropped into the world that inspired her favorite game. Except the body she now inhabits is that of the final boss of the game, only 8 years before she comes into her cataclysmic powers. She now has to avoid the machinations of a family that at best wants nothing to do with her and at worst wants her dead. Avoid any and all Heroes with a proclivity for decapitation, complete a Goddess's vague Quest to save the fate of the world, tame every cute magical beast she can get her hands on. Oh and probably find a way to smack said Goddess who thought putting her in the body of the character with the worst Tragic Backstory™ was a good idea.

Liliana Rosengarde might be Fated to Fall but this little bird just found her wings and won't be hitting the ground anytime soon.
