Note from Authors:
Hi, Mr and Mrs Mooncat here. Our work is quite different with distinct local flavors as it is based on our ancestral home in a small Asian country, Malaysia (although currently, we're residing on the moon). Hence, expect a lot of footnotes, local food, places, and slangs within ;) It's a fun way to get to know Malaysia from the eyes of the locals. Besides that, we also employ simple easy-to-understand English sentences to accommodate a vast spectrum of readers with very minor elements of romance. It is very friendly to both men and women, young and old without any harsh elements (yet). We love writing and illustrating ASTHW; it has already become our prized golden child (apart from our two toddlers at home haha). Recently, we have started writing ASTHW side stories besides the usual auxiliary articles for ASTHW. Interested readers could only access them either by subscribing with us on Patreon, or sponsoring a chapter through Ko-fi. Please check our respective sites for more details.

Mrs Mooncat isn't able to write as much as before and has decided to reduce the number of chapters per month to be more realistic. The change will take effect from June 2021 onwards.

Do reach out to us through our email to send fanarts, questions, suggestions, requests etcs. We will come back to you as soon as we can (wink!)

The Demon Lord has won. The Chosen are dead. The gods are cut off from the world. The Hero, despite everything, has fallen. The world is doomed and can no longer be saved. However, there is still a small hope. While what has happened cannot be fixed, it can hopefully be stopped from ever happening in the first place. The hero is granted another try to set things right, with just a few changes to their story.... more>>

Again and again the hero tries, living through life after life, struggling against what they believe to be impossible odds. In a final desperate gamble they give up everything they ere, the title of hero, their powers and their birthright to be given a new chance with the knowledge of all of their failures at their fingertips.

But if the Hero of Legend with all of their divine abilities can’t save the world, how can a little girl?

In the Avalyne Empire, there is only one way to achieve greatness: exhibition matches. Those who possess the power to bestow god-given gifts known as Crests stand tall and proud as nobles, supporting their knights who wade into battle for the sake of glory, victory, and honor. Knights and nobles alike study and train at Avalyne Academy to hone their skills and participate in academy-level matches, all while forming lasting bonds to become fully-fledged pairs.... more>>

Among those students is the so-called "strongest knight" Medrauta, yet despite her title, she hasn't managed to win a single match. Instead, she's impressively racked up over two-hundred losses within the course of the very first month. However, when she's faced with the prospect of expulsion due to various circumstances, her life gradually begins to change.

As Medrauta struggles to truly become someone worthy of the title "knight", she gains new friends, hope, and experience.

[This is a reimagining of the story The Tutorial is Too Hard by Gandara.]... more>>

On New Year's Eve, Lee Ho-Jae decides that he wants to die. The universe seems to hear him for the first time in his entire life, and just as the clock hits 00:00, a message pops up inviting him to the Tutorial. Lee Ho-Jae accepts. But at the prompt to choose the difficulty level, is there anything the former pro gamer can do but pick the very hardest--appropriately titled Hell?

And so begins Ho-Jae's true descent into Hell in every conceivable form, thrusting him into a world where pain is the currency needed to gain power, and the only ally he has is his own flesh and blood. It doesn't take much for the human mind to crack and crumble, but to build it up again is even harder. In the spiral of white madness that Ho-Jae finds himself tumbling into, will a hand reach towards him and pull him out, or will he just drag them down with them?

3 releases a week, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 EST, or 02:00 the following day CET.

This story is loosely based on the concept and story by Gandara, but is apart from the setting and name of the main character different on almost every conceivable level. You do not need to read the original story to read this, and doing so will change very little of your experience with the story. It is almost recommended not to read the original if you enjoyed this one since the original has a vastly more lighthearted tone in comparison.

Thank you, and I hope you'll enjoy the story! <<less

Fanfic of this Twitter manga: https://twitter.com/sasakisaki9646/status/1241338062560317440... more>>

I started writing this for fun way back when the artist was actually working on this specific one. For those who have heard of it, they ended up canceling it 30 days in, leaving the story incomplete. They did have another one set up that I really enjoyed, but since that ended up getting a different ending than I expected, it seems a shame to leave the original off the way it did. So here's my take on it. First 30 days are chapters written based on the image of that day, anything after that is my plotline.

Of course, credit goes to sakisaki9646 for the original story and characters. Image is also theirs, translated by Eidetic Memoscans. <<less

I know you’re here looking for an epic story about a powerless chemistry teacher turning a fantasy world and its rules on its head, having to rely on others to fight brutal battles, surviving impossible odds, to navigate difficult relationship dynamics, of a human having to handle being surrounded by people who consider the rules of physics little more than guidelines, and of carving out a place to call home in a dangerous world.... more>>

But let me level with you. Rick Cross might be the reason this new world gets itself the equivalent of the Geneva Convention, but he is also a flawed human pushing thirty in a world where he barely has a penny to his name. Lacking any magical abilities of his own, it will take sweat, blood, deception, and more than a bit of luck to get to where he conquers places and people (Unless you want to skip the pain and jump to chapter 20).

New money rich kid. War General. Amnesiac. Most people live one life, Virgil Darko has lived three. ... more>>

It's been six months after losing his memory and Virgil has only just begun to adjust himself to prison life in Shrieker's Veil - the greatest island prison in all of Xyra. And it's problem after problem for Virgil, who's lost his memory and who can't seem to understand why everyone hates him. Or fears him.

After one prison fight, Virgil is sent to his cell starving only to be met with the most unlikely partner ever; Prince Ritcher. The prince, who's come all the way from the mainland to offer Virgil the greatest gift he could have, his memories. The task seems easy, for Virgil to read his diary and to make a thread between all the loose thoughts and images in his head. At a cost.

Virgil is forced into a choice to forget who he was, or remember all his tribulations in a bid for Ritcher to figure out where his partners in crime retreated to. Will Virgil be able to sell out friends? Friends he doesn't even remember anymore?

Or maybe sometimes past lives should be forgotten. <<less

Rex was poisoned and died in the parking lot of a local diner. He worked at an arms manufacturing plant, as a nameless engineer. He died in his middle age and left behind all his regrets. ... more>>

He did not see any bright lights, nor did his life flash before his eyes. He just felt burning hot pain, that eventually became numbness. He was then carried from this world as death claimed him.

When he next opened his eyes, he had returned to his youth. The world he found himself in wasn't his own though. He was in a mine on an island. He discovered he might be the only human in this world. Finding himself forced to labor in the mines if he wanted to eat, he began planning to leave the island.

Rex will quickly realize it doesn't matter where he goes when he is the only one of his race. He will discover magic, and try to build a new civilization. He will aim to build a country free of war. This is the story of the legacy he will attempt to build, as the only human in the world. Surrounded by different points of view, and cultures, Rex will have to grow to overcome any obstacles he may meet.

This is my first work on the website. It will be updated every week with extra chapters when I have time.

I also go deep into some things like modern weapons, and how they work, Rex is supposed to be an engineer after all. This is way more in-depth than other books I have personally read, but do not attempt any of this at home. None of the information is complete, you will more than likely harm yourselves.

Warning: this book contains, swearing, scenes of sexual intercourse, death, rape, depression, grief, and depictions of cruelty.

I have done a thorough clean-up on the book and removed a lot of errors, so it should read pretty well now. If you see any errors that bother you please point them out.

Rikki was a young girl with a brilliant mind and a talent for strategy games, but tragedy struck when someone looking to get revenge on her sister hit her over the head with a metal pipe. Her life had ended.... more>>

Siya is a young girl with a frail body and a brilliant mind. Unfortunately, She was born into a world where strength is the only thing that anyone cares about, and even though she can slow down time and think faster than anyone else with her unique abilities, it only helps so much when you're overpowered by everyone around you. According to law she should have been put to death rather than coddled, but her father was unable to let his first born daughter be murdered as a helpless child.

Siya was spared the death sentence, and her weakness kept hidden from the outside world. Now she is closing in on her fifteenth birthday, and she is quickly reaching the age of enrolment at the royal military academy, where she will be rigorously tested. If she can't show that she is up to par, she won't be the only one that's punished.

Since early childhood she has been undergoing strict training to try and make up for her weak body, but she hasn't been progressing nearly fast enough. What will she do now? Give up and accept her fate, just keep trying, or maybe... Turn to magic, which was outlawed long before she was born.

This is the story of Siya, the greatest strategist. <<less
