Laying in his own pool of blood, Lu Chen watches his wife being embraced by another man. He couldn’t believe it.

“You will always be nothing but second place.” Then a bullet went through his chest.

Before Lu Chen had lost all consciousness, endless regret begins to flow through him. The people that cared for him he ignored, people that trusted him he betrayed. The only thing he had on his mind was; a second chance.

However, it is as if somebody had heard him plead. Lu Chen was sent back to his 18-year-old body. He didn't want to believe it, yet he had to. Lu Chen couldn't waste this opportunity. What will the young man do to change his future?

Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

A cultivator is someone who can channel the natural energy through their body, strengthening their own body or performing almost magical feats. At birth, everyone manifests an inborn spell, a power belonging solely to them.... more>>

Yao Jun was born in a branch of the Yao clan, his inborn spell is considered a useless spell, a spell with no effect. Despite his useless spell, Yao Jun is steadfast and determined to cultivate, spending each day training his body to the limit.

All he wanted was to be allowed to live his life as he wanted, but fate makes a fool out of everyone, and his life would end up becoming so much more than he ever expected, taking him to the dark side of the world and beyond. When the Demon's Gate opens, what will it bring to the world?

(Quick note, you'll see that the writing style changes a bit into the story. That's because this is one of my earliest stories and I was thus not quite certain exactly what writing style was best when I first started to write it.) <<less

Liang Chen was a normal youth, one could easily find countless others like him in the Qing clan. He thought that his normal and unremarkable existence would continue for the rest of his life, a thought that was shattered when he was 12. His parents were forced to take the blame for something that they had not done, causing them to be publicly executed.... more>>

Liang Chen had been told about how just the heavens were, how they would punish evildoers and those who killed the innocent. But now his parents were dead, and the man responsible for it walks free without suffering anything. That was when Liang Chen learned the truth. The heavens aren't just, they are indifferent. That was when he decided, if the heavens won't send down their wrath on the man who caused his parents to die, then he would.

If the heavens have no wrath, then he will become that wrath.- <<less

Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all?... more>>

This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it?

This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me.

The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape! I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier.

Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler or line break. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time.

Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.

For the time being, this story is on hiatus because I have decided to rewrite it.... more>>

When it is time to start publishing the new version, I hope you all check it out. Please look at my profile page for updates!

--------------------------------------
This is the story of two people, a Human and a Goddess, who lost their memories.  The Goddess, Itarr, was sealed up for hundreds of thousands of years and has regressed to being nothing more than a humanoid-like being of red energy.  The girl, Servi, woke up near a forest and died later that night.  Instead of ceasing to exist, she was brought before Itarr, who spoke of a way for them both to live.

Even though she was content with dying and fading away, Servi took Itarr up on her offer, and their souls became interconnected.  Together, as one being, they ventured forth off into the unknown world.

-----------------------------------------------
What To Expect: After Prologue One and Prologue Two, the story becomes a slow burn, and It's filled with romance and hardships. Because of the story's slow burn-like nature, character growth and development will take time to achieve. The MC-- Servi-- is overpowered, but the tension is still there. Her conflicts, for the most part, are mainly internal in nature. She has her own sets of challenges and mountains to climb, and they are different when compared to the people around her. In short, Servi's life isn't an easy one even when she has the power to destroy an army. When the main couple gets together, expect there to be descriptive sex scenes.

However, there is a content warning because this story contains depictions of gore, rape, and torture, sometimes to an excessive degree.

Thank you for reading this!

And for the glossary, I plan to update it at the end of every Book. And I have pictures for some of the characters. I'd very much like it if you could take a look at them. You can find them in the glossary.

Note: This is my first time ever writing a story that other people can read. I will do my utmost best! <<less

King Einar, the astonishing king of the great and only continent, one day decided to choose a new heir to his kingdom from among his five most precious sons. ... more>>

By giving each of them different duties, King Einar did something unchangeable and unimaginable that day. He gave them an order and not only a task or a quest to accomplish, but he also wanted his sons to accomplish their duty with maturity, with honor, and with pride.

But nothing, he wanted to do went in order, just because of his son. The eldest and most powerful brother, "Yores", opposed this situation. He decided that it would be better, if the King gave them a second chance. But everything was chosen, and he found himself another solution to conquer his biggest rival.

Lost, against anything that he wanted to win.

So he made a deal with the most powerful lineage, "The Apocalypse Lineage," to take the throne. And by obtaining power, he started a rebellion.

After Yores took the throne, he ruled the people in such a manner for years, damaged many relationships and made himself the evilest person to ever be seen. But even his reign, came to an end.

A wolf descendant, one of the strongest lineage's people, challenged Yores. Jiro, the strongest person among bloodlines. He was so brave, so strong, and so dauntless. He was someone who changed many things. The Battle of Jiro and Yores continued for three days exactly, and their battle, being heard all over the continent, changed the entire world.

But the real story to be told was only beginning.... <<less

Synopsis :... more>>

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.

Warning :
1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you)
2. No harem (probably no romance either)
3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though)

What to expect :
1. Smart and consistent MC
2. Lots of training
3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage
4. A lot of original arcs.
5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it).

Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or it's characters (except the original characters I create)

PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward..

Do young adults get nervous when they turn 18? Sure. Do they expect to die just a few months later at the hands of their... more>> own family and estranged friends like a cliché movie? Definitely not, at least our protagonist didn't and needless to say, he's not very happy.

Janus Campbell can't fight. And unfortunately for him, that's the only way to survive.... more>>

Upcoming physicist Janus Campbell is trapped in the world of Tersaia, where shadow monsters lurk the streets, anyone can be monitored at any time and fighting is the best way to make a living; either through the Rumble Circuit, a world-wide ranking of combatants that keeps track of participants' wins and losses in competitive duels, or through slaying the constantly spawning Essencima that terrorize the population.

Unfortunately for Janus, he doesn't know how to fight. No special moves. No signature techniques. Not even a basic grab.

However, there are two people that might be able to help him out. Itzel, an avaricious woman with the ability to manipulate the wind, and Gurk, a man-crocodile hybrid of few words that can control ice, are the ones that will have to help Janus if they ever want to leave the harrowing alleys of Labrisson and rank up in the Rumble Circuit.

The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again.... more>>

But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close?

The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace.

Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit?

Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra. <<less

Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). There is also a single very brief (1-2 paragraph) netorare rape scene. It is not tagged because it is not a focus of the story.

I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes.

This story is also being posted on Royal Road.

Update schedule: Currently 1/week on Monday. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words.
