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.

At least one update every day. :fingerscrossed:

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!

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?

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. :)

Author is lazy...

Preview:
‘So it’s either him or me...?’ the maid looks forward and sees the man's eyes compelled by horror. The slave was now grabbing him by the hair, forcing his body to be kneeling on the floor as his torso was widely exposed. 
“You said you would let me go!” the man screams at the top of his lungs.
“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.”

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. Now she lives a new life in a new world, but a new life doesn't transfer to a 'new' her, she stayed the same.... more>>

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?

In which a well-intentioned Earthling with all the idealism of a Disney princess decides to bring some much-needed civility to the cutthroat world of cultivation... with social media.... more>>

Long Synopsis: “Choose wisely, for choice is what makes the Cultivator.”

That was the one true maxim of this world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Where the strong flayed the weak to take what they desired. Where the heavens weaved stories on behalf of their favoured children, using all else as mere pawns for their means. For aeons unchanged did the cultivation world remain, with traditions and taboos set in stone.

But that’s ancient history.

The flickering screen showed the Red Heavens Supreme Patriarch live-streaming his Dao of the Sigma Tyrant Podcast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Vixen kickstarting the Nine-by-ninth-wave Feminism, and the Trans-cended Cisgolden Buddha hustling his Self-help pyramid scheme to his untold number of followers.

Even the Foreign Gods and Immortal Devils came down to lurk beneath the dark web 24/7, illegally trading pirated video-game mods and contraband mp4 files for the newest fad Crypto-spirit stone.

Finally, deciding enough was enough, the mortals rose up, armed in all-caps, and cancelled every cultivator online for even the slightest microaggression, triggering the conservative heavens to bend the knee, or be demonetised.

When he was but a mortal, Yung—previously Jung—a soul adrift from a far gentler world- had merely asked this innocent question: “Is such cruelty truly necessary?”

“No!” He judged; his modern sensibilities would not allow it. In a world where he could cultivate to be anything, he chose to be kind. Thus, standing upon the shoulders of all the great thinkers of Earth, and with the help of his rich foxy sweetheart, he had set out with a dream to make the heavens merciful.

But alas, lady fate was fickle after all.

Yung turned the television off with a confused, ashamed, and profoundly remorseful heart.

He had achieved his dreams. But at what cost?

A school where locking students up is mandatory; teenagers who are locked up within this classroom face discrimination from society; a school where treating students cruelly is increasingly prevalent. Being treated like an object is just so unjust. But isn't it true that the school where these pupils are distinguished is also the institution where they are feared?... more>>

Nowadays, teens are preoccupied with making plans for their future. They began amassing information for their respective occupations in order to flourish in life. However, there are some teenagers nowadays who are not fond of this type of behavior. These teenagers are more focused on doing something illegal that no normal human could ever do; illegal trading, robbery, gambling, gang management, and others; they are busy living their lives to the fullest through the use of cruelty—- the best example of this being the students who are all gathered up in one classroom.

Not until---

A new transferred teacher, who's willing to change the students for good, has been consigned to this class.

Mr. Travis Mortal, a charming, brilliant, and well-mannered instructor, should educate these students of his own volition. And, in order to break away from this unjust system, the students had no idea what's the real deal of this teacher. As they all go through their journey as one, Mr. Travis faced some consequences related to his past. But for him, the students are his first priority.

Will the students cause even more mayhem towards the end of the school year? Will they continue to be the same? Or will they grow and urge themselves to be on the side of peace?

Authors notes: This is the first novel that I am posting on scribble hub and I hope that it goes well. Though I have no clue how to judge that.

This is inspired by table top Call of Cthulhu and overall Lovecraftian horror (Not the actual books written by Lovecraft since I haven't read any of them) That I hope to put a twist it. Though it will all be mostly orginal conent ( I hope).

“It all started when I found a wallet. Routine maintenance on a fifteen-passenger van and out drops a... more>> wallet. That gets me fired. The next day I am in Fort Meade, home of the National Security Agency. They have a job for me. For reasons of their own, they want me to do a series of YouTube videos on car maintenance for women. Odd, right? Six months later, I am popular enough to warrant an invitation to a big convention and a chance to meet auto executives. One was from China. The guy was gorgeous. Treated me right. Would I go with him to China? Absolutely.
Loved the man, lived with the man, almost married the man. Change in direction (he married someone else). I stayed in China and did some tourism videos for Chinese cities. That somehow led to bit parts in local movies. Bit parts became bigger parts. The movies I did were of interest to the Chinese government, and to our government. My interest was in the director. Loved the man, lived with the man, decided he would be my husband and the father of my children. Complications along the way? Yup. But he was the one. I was sure. Well, mostly sure.” <<less
