"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power."... more>>

At the tender age of ten, Kagami Ken was thrust into a life of excruciating pain, burdened by a unique illness that haunted him relentlessly.

Years later, a severe episode renders him comatose for six whole months!

Good news, he wakes up. Bad news? An unshakable intuition foretells that his days were numbered.

Driven by an irrepressible longing to seize the moments he's always been denied, he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. In a twist of fate, a surge of altruism compels him to make an astonishingly generous donation to an unsuspecting charity organization.

Little does he know that this act of kindness will capture the attention of a God-like being!

With aid from fate and his powerful acquaintance, he now finds himself reborn as Reivan Aizenwald — the half-human, half-warbeast baby of the Aizen Kingdom's royal family!

On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What chaos will he bring to this new world!?

Join me on this captivating journey and discover the untold tale that awaits within these pages!

Synopsis #2:
Tired of cookie-cutter isekai protags whom you care nothing about?

Well, have I got news for you!

[Glimpse of Eternity] is a character-driven [Reincarnation Isekai] story where I — the author — aim to have YOU care about the main character!

Feel happy when good things happen to him! Become saddened by the tragedies that afflict him...

Laugh along with him as he laughs and cry when he cries!

What are you waiting for? Give it a shot!

====================================
Disclaimers and Miscellaneous Information:

[This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated. It's like that thing One Piece did. Y'know, 25 years of filler? Goddamn. Except here, it's just 200+ pages.]

[Chapter Length: 2000 (It can only be MORE, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)]

[Chapter Release: Sunday, 11:46 pm(GMT+8). Depending on certain factors, I may post more.]

[I have sworn to the heavens that I will write this story to completion. Unless my story ends before I can finish this one, I will continue.]

[If you absolutely cannot stand stories too similar to anime/light novels, then please don't waste your time and find something else. The story's not actually styled as a light novel, but it shares some themes. Hell, the MC is Japanese. The signs are already there, so don't ignore them.]

The Devilish Genius of Time and Effort. That Cheating Bastard. Idiot Savant. A man known by countless names in the Three Realms, one who collected every treasure, every ancient art, whose Dao of 'Accumulation' made him the richest and most hated person even amongst the Eternal Emperors.... more>>

The strongest Transcendent, the one envied by all beneath the heavens. After breaking past the bounds of existence, he-

"I'm heading home."

"W-Wait! Master!"

-Promptly packed his bags and returned to Earth.

A story about a laidback overpowered guy who underestimated how hard it is to be abnormal in a normal world and gets swept up into the flow too quickly... And also ended up opening an idol agency.

Thus begins the tale of John Smith and his daily adventures back on Earth.

Jack Smith’s life ended rather abruptly. Spinning out on ice while driving a truck was not the most magnificent method to depart this earth. A mediocre man he had led an ordinary life until his death. Now with a second chance at life, he decided that this time he would be exceptional. This time he would finally live up to his name. After all, a jack of all trades is a master of none but ultimately better than one.... more>>

Armed with a system and determination to do his best he sets out like any other reincarnated soul in another world to find his place and achieve great things. There is just one small problem with getting started in this endeavour . . . he is yet to be born!

Welcome to a progression fantasy with a twist. What might you be able to achieve if your race to the top began before your body had even been born?

Join our hero as he masters the language, magics and skills of the Compass Kingdoms but his first great challenge will be learning to walk once more.

A cliché setup. What if I was in his shoes? What would I change? How much would change? On the day that Seol Jihu betrayed his younger sister and stole her car, 'I' took over. ... more>>

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!

However, things begin to change as the next BloodStar heir aims to make new allies in a world more willing to forgive her empire’s tragic past of violence. The beautiful and young Xenia BloodStar is a world-class beauty, a calculating politician, and an immensely powerful ki user.

There are those who enjoy a more vanilla style of lewding, and then there are those who prefer the mint chocolate chip with a side of calamari style of lewding. Damian is one such man. Ever since he was a teenager and was visiting sites much too mature for his age, he has been in love with taboo pairings such as a beauty and a beast. However, there is a problem.... more>>

Damian not only has many bizarre tastes, but he prioritizes consensual versions of his interests above all else. Alas, very little of such content is available.

Fortunately, thanks to one of the latest VRMMORPGs to hit the market and cash shop items, he can finally become all the monsters that he could ever dream of becoming to thoroughly (and consensually) enjoy his friends and other visitors inside of his virtual dungeon! And, of course, there will be monster girls. What better to use on monster girls than actual monsters?

Thomas was your bog-standard high-school kid; approaching the end of his senior year, he wasn't quite sure what he wanted to go into in college, but that was fine, he had time.... more>>

Well, perhaps not as bog-standard as all that; his parents died around his tenth birthday in a tragic plane crash, and he was taken in by the grandfather of his childhood friend, Ellie, whose parents had died in that very same crash. There was something...different about the grandfather, more specifically his occupation - despite living in the middle of nowhere with nothing of import within miles, he somehow had some incredibly confidential job that neither Thomas nor Ellie knew anything about.

Until shortly after Ellie's eighteenth birthday, that is. The grandfather took them to a fantastic world known as The Outlands, where he revealed that he was the head of the Freelancer's Guild, and made preparations to show the two the ropes of freelancing.

But...when their stats were measured, things took yet another turn. In a monumental coincidence, it turned out that Ellie had the best stat growths possible, immediately marking her for stardom, while Thomas had the worst possible. Such misfortune would usually mean that he was wholly unsuitable for the business, but...the Goddess of Fortune had seen his bad luck and took pity on him, granting him her strongest blessing.

And, thanks to that blessing, he soon found himself on a path of great change, both for himself, and the world as a whole...

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. ... more>>

With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity.

The Order wasn’t free. Each year cities sent their armies to Falling Fields to gather Orbs, the lifeblood, the source of the Flows that were expended to manipulate the Order and Entropy fields. Cities rich in Flows had tractors for their fields, air conditioning for the homes of the wealthy, and armies bristling with guns and tanks. Those without struggled to survive, always wanting more.

With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men.

[I have a big backlog of chapters, so I'll aim to post several a day until I catch up.]
Book 1 has 138 Chapters and 3 Epilogues. The highest tier on Patreon is up to Chapter 12 of Book 2. patreon.com/tomwrath

It is the year 802.

Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father. His father has amassed a great fortune as a merchant, he could buy and sell the castles and lands of the lords of the city, but there is one thing his money can't buy: nobility.

Tiberius has been trained and honed to compete for the Griidsuit. Winning the suit comes with the founding of a new noble house that would satisfy his father's grandest ambitions. Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth.

Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.

I have categorized this story as a LitRPG, but it might be more accurately called lite-LITRPG. I'm new to the genre, but I'm having fun playing with it, so please, be forgiving and don't expect the hardcore stat sheets I've seen in some other stories.

What to expect:

-Light LitRPG elements woven organically in Tiberius's growing affinity for the suit. If you don't like LitRPG then these elements won't effect your experience.

-Gradual progression, starting at very weak.

-Light romance elements.

-Game of Thrones-esque land of intrigue, warfare, alliances, betrayals, and plots.

-A Fallout meets Middle-Earth world of medieval cultures melding with the futuristic.

-A complex system of cities manipulating Order and Entropy.

-Pitched battles.

-Blood Prince, unlike A Time of Change and Broken Chains, has essentially one POV character.

-Superhero combat.

-Mysterious histories, worldbuilding, lore.

This Story is set 200 years before "A Time of Change and Broken Chains", but can be read at the same time, or before, or after. I've called it "Book 2" but it really doesn't effect the experience if you start with Book 1 or Book 2. I think you should start with this one :) You could even read it as a standalone. <<less

To live a quiet life away from high society, 14-year old Alex left home and created a new identity. She changed her name as well as her gender. ... more>>

The catch? She'd lose it all if anyone found out.

To prevent exposure, Alex stayed in the side lines and avoided unnecessary interactions. Her cold demeanor drove the other students away. They eventually learned to leave her alone. After that, it didn't take long for two years to pass by as she spent her days in blissful peace.

Her secluded life had kept her safe. 

Until…

That shattered when Logan Parker caught her with extensions in her hair, make-up on her face, heels on her feet and boobs in her dress.

Not one to give up, Alex needed to fool him.

But how?

How will she keep this web of lies afloat? Will her true identity stay as a secret? Or will her borrowed time be over? 

Take a peek and discover the biggest secret in this fiction world!

On her last life, she was the devil. If not for her waywardness the people she cared about would not suffer. If not for her pride she could have lived a good life. After rebirth Sena vowed not to let herself fall into the trap again. ... more>>

Wait, who said you must abuse enemies as soon as you made a come back?

She was born with a golden spoon, educated by an intelligent mother and loved by many. Better use it wonderfully this time.

Drugged and slept with a stranger?

Well, not Sena.

Evil best friend? She doesn't have one.

Although she doesn't have them, the people she loved does!

As a capable side character, this time it will be her turn to protect them. As for those who harmed them... hehe, a few occasional slaps is enough. Everything seems to be on track so how could she mess up?

She was about to fulfill her wish of a good life when a certain person popped up then suddenly the 'sleeping with the stranger' thing was dredged up.

Hey, that was done in a completely mutual agreement. No hard feelings.

Him: What if I wanted to pursue?

Sena: Fart, we've gone over this--- you, d-don't come close. We've talked about this. We've clean the slate!

Him: Did you hear me agree?

Sena: ( ･ᴗ･̥̥̥ )

This novel is made purely for enjoinment (there will be plenty of loopholes and expect plenty of cliché) so please don't take it personally. Male lead is a healthy adult man, don't expect him to be as indifferent and pure as a monk because that's impossible given his background setting. Names of countries are deliberately changed and character names are chosen in random. Author's English is average but we will try to deliver a smooth narrative to lessen your headache. :)

And by the grace of gods, got reincarnated in a world that has put a label over my head of Otaku.

'Rise of the Thunder Emperor. '

Same clichè dense hero and harem of beauties involved in an Academy setting.

I would have accepted my fate if I had gotten in some mob's body but no…I had to be a villain who was destined to taste the awakened power of the protagonist, firsthand.

I planned to manage my life through this whole mess and if possible get that milf teacher on the way too.

But why the heck this hero is behaving like he knows what I am going to do?

Why are these heroines not performing their roles and turning yandere for me but not the protagonist?

And the milf I tried to trap is now flirting in the middle of the whole school?

Why did things turn out so hectic?

“Isn’t that what I am doing? I am letting you go... to meet all the people you’ve killed,” Ophelia’s smile turns psychotic as her cheeks begin to blush underneath the bloodstains, “Can you hear their screams...? Because I can... And they are begging for your attendance.”

Hazel used to be someone else—someone ordinary. But that life ended the moment she was touched by Hemotropis luxura, a rare virus that transforms its hosts into something eerily beautiful and undeniably different. ... more>>

The odds of infection are impossibly low—0.005%—but those who survive emerge as flawless, hyperfeminine beings, no longer fully human.

Now, Hazel moves with unnatural grace, speaks with unsettling calm, and wears a face no one forgets. The virus didn’t just change her body—it rewrote her place in the world.

Living quietly with her younger sister, Stella, Hazel tries to maintain a sense of normalcy. She still sleeps, though dreams rarely come. And when they do, they’re never quite comforting.

Then she meets another infected woman in a city still struggling to understand the truth of the virus. And Hazel begins to realize the transformation was only the beginning. <<less

Luna Crimson, a Queen, Royalty of the highest caliber, a Battle Maiden unlike any other, there were no equal. Just like her name suggests, almost everything about her is 'Crimson', her hair, her eyes, but most importantly, the large amounts of blood rivers that she has seen.

Blood-thirsty, narcissistic, and somebody who only cares for the people that she so chooses to care about, everybody else is of no concern to her, but she can also come off as childish at times, why that is? Only she knows... And only she'll ever know, for the sole reason she's living a new life is because of one certain moronic 'god', she'll never forget how he called himself 'Zeddicus' for she loathes him, to her he's not a 'God', just a poser, a jester.

And now, she walks in the world of wizards and witches, magic and spells, but even inside this magical world, there are people that are less special by default, just because they don't possess the ability and innate talent for the wonders of magic. Therefore they are kept out of it completely.

And because the Queen saw that the world which she now resides in is peaceful, or as 'peaceful' as a massive world can truly be, she decided to just have fun and do what any single thing that she so desires, after all, who's going to stop her? Absolutely nobody... And if they dare? Well, The Queen wouldn't mind going back to her roots and showing them what a feared Battle Maiden can do.

And so, the Queen walks the grounds of Hogwarts, doing just what she decided and what did she decide? That's right, doing whatever it is that she wants. And her primary 'want' is getting herself some wives and so The Queen aims to do that... And why not grab the whole school at the same time and become a Queen of Hogwarts, that could be an entertaining activity to do, right?
