This story will follow a certain {Roaming World Boss} as she experiences life once again in a far different world than it was when she initially was born. Being a girl who doesn't focus on others and does what she wants to do - though getting a 'tad angry' when things don't go right - she ends up experiencing what can only be called an wild life.

Only made more wild by her race as an Oni being discriminated against for being the only race with neither qi nor mana - being anomalies of insane physical ability, however. They weren't 'strength cultivators' though and neither did they pretend to be which only caused more trouble for them as a minority - being heavily damaged in number after the {Second Great War} where they acted as vanguard to pull the gods down for their thrones (more in actual story).

This all not being helped by being a traditional matriarchy; built around women using their strength to 'coerce' their men and each other; in a place where patriarchy was standard.

But...

Violence speaks and nobody is better at being Violent than Violet.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Let me get this straight, this story will be kinky with giant Oni perni being plentiful and what follows with that. Other than that there may be some more stuff so consider yourself warned.

I'm going to go ahead and say it but I love Violet and made this story primarily just because I want to write more with her in a way I simply couldn't in the other two novels. Can't just have her be around all the time because then everything would just end with a punch...

I'm open to idea's about possible plot points and such as I plan to... Well plan less I guess? Just have Violet experience things with no real greater goal than to 'experience'. I truly think that, although she's Violent, Violet is a very lovable character that is just a little cutie I can't help but appreciate.

She doesn't talk much but I have a feeling I needn't explain much on that as it won't take long to figure her out - she's not dumb but just prefers to keep things simple and avoiding what she sees as 'pointless'. This can also lead to her getting wrathful when people get in the way but doesn't discard those who really care for her and is regretful when she hurts someone she doesn't mean to. This section wasn't meant to be about me gushing but telling you guys you can recommend tags and plot points but yea!

I plan to make this a Saturday release I hope everyone enjoys!

(PS. I plan to speed run child life so yea)

Early chapters may seem confusing but that's because it's adapted from my first novel and I don't exactly want to re-tread ground they already know and burry them in information they already know.

Sorry but no real fix for that.

If you want to borrow/use my characters or world I don't mind as long as you hit me in pms so we can get the details down accurately!

Crossovers are a bit of a long term wish of mine tbh. <<less

"I am the rigid mountain you won't be able to overcome. With my ability alone, none of you would stand a chance against me." - Shin Soru... more>>

The eccentric Shin Soru and not-so popular Mitsuha Reika were both students of Class 1-A at Itami High School. Strangers at first, their fates began to intertwine when both of them were mysteriously teleported to another world by a strange pillar of light.

Upon their arrival, they were welcomed by the harsh nature of this parallel world. The vast lands were filled with peculiar monsters, followed by a multitude of dangers and threats. However, both of them managed to survive thanks to Soru's mysterious power, which he already possessed before their arrival on the other world. This power he possessed was soon found out by Reika, whom she dubbed it as "Power-Shift" ability.

With Soru's ability and Reika's adaptability, they ventured into this new world together. Although their personalities didn't match well, they discovered places that seemed unreal, meet new people and friends, and awaken their innermost emotions which they thought won't happen. <<less

This is a 'science meets magic' type of story where the science aspect will eventually get wilder and more complex.
Expect at least two chapters per month.

Disclaimer: I am neither a physicist nor a biologist, so you might want to take everything with a grain of salt. There may be errors or even deliberate omissions to serve the plot, and I might take some liberties now and then.
It is best to consider that the magic system merely draws inspiration from science, like most works of science fiction.

Lastly, some chapters contain AI illustrations generated and edited by yours truly. I'd like to think they incrementally get better over time. <<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.

MC reincarnated as her in game character in another world but with a small twist, she knew about it ahead of time and had time to prepare. She made sure to farm all the items that would be more useful in the real world than in the game. Gold bars may be low level crafting material in the game, but you wished you had a few stacks of them in real life.... more>>

- Very overpowered MC.
- Comedy focus, with occasional serious moments.
- Multiple POV's, and first-person POV is used frequently.
- MC is selfish, playful, slightly erratic, and determined to mess with other people at every possible opportunity.

But with all that wealth and power, what would be her goal?
Is it to lead a shadowy organization or to be a Legendary adventurer? Maybe to make her own business or even a kingdom, having her own religion that worships her as a God is also an option.

But why should you limit yourself to a singular goal? Given the opportunity, you might as well do as many of them as you can.
She wants to experience every popular cliché, visit all the cool places, do every cool thing she can possibly think of and, most importantly, to have a good time doing it.

After all, most people aren’t one-dimensional enough to be satisfied with only a one thing if they can get more. <<less
