"Ashes of the Lotus" is a haunting tale of a man haunted by his past and a girl who forces him to question his future.... more>> It's a story of forbidden love in a conservative world, of a system that crushes the sensitive, and a young man's search for meaning, truth, and a place to begin again.
From ruined classrooms to distant continents, from failed exams to quiet revolutions-this is not a story of heroes.
It's a story of survival.
Of how we burn, how we rise, and how we try-again and again-to love, even when it hurts. <<less

Planets which had previously been unhospitable to life have been geo-formed into a collection of earth like locations used for many purposes. Among these are planets that are used primarily for mining, planets that kept pristine as tourist destinations, and planets that exist only to throw out the unwanted vagrants from society. Among these, at the very pinacol of power and wealth is the cooperate planet, the shopping planet, the planet of wealth: Retailia.... more>>

Welcome to Spire: population too many. This over-stuffed metropolis feeds on the bodies the people give it and the people feeding it most are the cruel Aelfir rulers. In the shadows of the city, rebellion and sabotage is brewing. New to the Order of Our Hidden Mistress, tragedian Auriel and house-servant Rire push back against the oppressive forces they find themselves up against.

Veyn Kmerst—a sharp-witted but amnesiac student—finds himself haunted by a name—Milis. With only a lingering sense of loss, his search for answers leads him to Sielsia Serebriakova, a girl who holds the key to his past. But she offers him a deal—if he wants the truth, he must join her mystery-solving club. Veyn delves into the academy’s most perplexing cases, uncovering hidden conspiracies woven deep into the school's foundations. However, the more he learns, the more he realizes that his past is tangled with something far more sinister than he ever imagined. Because in this academy, mysteries aren’t just puzzles to be solved. They are traps. And some truths are buried for a reason. <<less

There are three expected major themes to this work:
1) Protagonist reforms his body so that he's not out of shape or constantly in pain.
2) Reforming his giant physical mess of an environment into a functional heroic manufacturing setup.
3) His ongoing unpleasant mental experiences.... more>>

In other words, it's a grind.

Like any good story, there is plenty of room for progression.
He starts out with a bunch of psychological issues and a good few physical ones. Additionally, he has the means to live modestly but still to spend his hours in pursuit of the plot.
Unlike most good stories, ... well, a lot of things. But importantly, there is NO GUARANTEE of success. If he is unsuccessful, this project will be dropped. There is no room for fantastical plot armor in this story; His final saga could very well end in demoralized failure.

The "Game Elements" tag is for the personal status sheet, which is a fairly arbitrary documentation of his performance at various sets of exercises, and other discernible attributes.

The story uses a first person narrative.

The Gore / Sexual Content / Etc tags are there because the contents might discuss such things. Definitely not the focus of the story. MC usually doesn't use "Strong Language", at least at the beginning. But he might develop into such a character.

Being the last words he heard from the person who birthed him, his world was shattered.

The dead walked, death loomed, surviving seemed impossible—if not for his uncanny, god-like luck.

And six years later, Luke transformed his grief and resolve into strength. Joining an elite military squad, he honed his skills, sharpened his instincts, and above all, learned to master the one thing that has always been on his side: his luck.

Now, with a new family by his side, he'll have to overcome obstacles that even the mightiest of men will falter. With nothing but guns, luck, and basic chemistry ... he'll give it his all.

Can he become the soldier he promised his savior he'd be??

The leader to look up to?

Or the hero he vowed ... for the woman who stole his heart?

As the line between life and death blurs, the difficulties of heroism and grief reign in. Will he rise above it, or... Will his luck finally run out? <<less

I just - - - - noticed - - - - her one day.

The first series in the world of Royaumes.... more>>

In a country where justice is boasted and pride is everything, two souls carve their paths through suffering—one bound by legacy, the other forged in fire.

Xion Joadia walks in the shadow of giants, his father and uncle having gilded the family name in gold. Yet, beneath the shining veneer of Seseri, something festers—an evil unseen, suffocating, merciless. And Xion, caught in its grip, bleeds for it. But he will not give up. Not yet.

Vaelran Sinvani was born nameless, rising from nothing but the ashes of his own ruin. He's seen Seseri for what it truly is. He's bled in it, cried in it. Hated in it. He won't let anyone ever trample him again, he swears to cleanse the world of having power over others.

Where Xion builds, Vaelran burns. Where Xion seeks justice, Vaelran delivers reckoning. Both haunted by injustice. Both devoured by suffering. Both taking it into their own hands.

Two paths, forever circling, fated to collide—or to pass like ghosts. But when vengeance and virtue blur, when the weight of the world crushes all beneath it all, the questions remain: Who is right?

And, who is the true Endbringer? <<less

“What if every version of you... ends the same way?”... more>>

Hale doesn't dream anymore.
Not because he’s tired—
But because every time he sleeps, the world tries to remember him.

And that’s the problem.

The Last Fear is a haunting descent into time loops, fractured memories, and a love so powerful it breaks reality.
When Hale begins seeing strange sketches that shift and bleed with moments he’s never lived, he discovers he may not be the only version of himself—and worse, he may not be the one Ivy loved.

As timelines collapse and ancient entities manipulate memory like currency, Hale must face the truth he buried long ago:

He’s not trying to save her.
He’s trying to be the version she would have chosen.

Featuring nonlinear storytelling, shifting identities, mythic codes, and a narrative that bends space and time, The Last Fear is a genre-defying psychological horror that asks the most terrifying question of all—

What if you were never the real one? <<less

When he lost his life, a young man, whose name is of no importance, thought that he would finally be free from the shackles of his bleak life, death welcoming him into its cold arms.
Instead he is reborn into a fantastical world that seemed straight out of a story book.
But the fantasy world he sought is just that. A fantasy. Pain, despair, loneliness becomes a close companion that refuses to relinquish their thorny hold.... more>>

Now freed and attempting to lead a life devoid of pain, he finds himself haunted by his memories. As he wonders if he's undeserving of a peaceful life, some hold out their hand to him and he slowly takes their warm and outstretched hand and hopes that he deserves it.

Healing is a slow friend. <<less
