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:

On a random day, at a random place… I died. ... more>>

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?

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...

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.

. . . .

Warning 1: Be prepared for the MC to spend an entire book's worth of words and time as an infant but hopefully you will enjoy it nevertheless.

Warning 2: Grandfather is legally abusive to MC for a couple of chapters but he is removed from that situation around chapter 30. To be edited out some time in the future. <<less

"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.]
====================================
Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! (Started on May 9, 2022!)

Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with general grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve.

I'll try my best to make as few mistakes as possible though!

Constructive criticism is also very welcome.

Anything to make my first brainchild, the best it can possibly be!

Reincarnated in the world of My Hero Academia with the quirk "Lucifer".... more>>

————————————————————————

A heads up since despite the concept people are still asking a lot.

The main character has a quirk turning him into the devil/Lucifer so obviously he isn't going to be a good guy.

He is a selfish manipulative scumbag. I would term him as an anti-villain. The mirror to an anti-hero. Where an anti-hero does heroic work through non-heroic means an anti-villain would strive for villainous goals by using heroic means.

Though I personally don't consider this a harem fic the main character definitely isn't monogamous. If you don't want to read about a main character that happily sleeps with multiple women this isn't the fic for you.

[Volume 1] Rosalie Edgeworth: the queen bee of Lassen Academy and Janet Fleming’s two-faced nemesis. Why does the school seem to revolve around Rosalie? How can Prince Blaise not see her for the bitch she really is? And why won’t the Prince even listen to Janet’s side of it? In the aftermath of Rosalie’s latest schemes, Janet finds the answer in unexpected allies: ghost-clones of herself, a weird little-sister shop owner, a bespectacled folklore otaku, a sluggard knight, three ghost-obsessed girls, and two former saintess candidates, among others. Meeting these people leads Janet to the truth about Rosalie’s identity and a dangerous conspiracy surrounding her.... more>>

[Volume 2] Lady Lilian Dorian has been impersonating Rosalie Edgeworth to keep control of the Prince and Classroom 1-3C with rumors, sex, and spells. After uncovering the truth, Janet and her school mates find themselves outnumbered and in need of allies. So they keep a low profile amidst a school investigation as they train their powers with more allies: three talking statuettes, the talking bust of a former knight-at-arms, a talking suit of armor, a duke with a cousin complex, and an overprotective marquess father. Despite the hellish training, Janet plays Lady Dorian’s two-faced game a little too well for Lady Dorian to take things lying down. <<less

Official Title: The Criswell's Curse... more>>

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with satisfaction tingling beneath my skin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”
"

Some clarifications and notes:

- While this is a School Life/SoL Novel, it contains dark and traumatic content. I advise you to be aware, as I won't put warnings to spoil avid horror readers.

- Multiple characters with some exploration, town-building, and politics. There's something for everyone and I never write a perspective without you knowing something new afterwards.

- The Game World of Callixtus has an entire map, along with special ranking, magic systems, races, classes, and commands/spells. I'll make a list once enough information is given.

- This book contains Drama and Romance aspects, though they'll be naturally occurring and won't be the focus of the story.

- There are a lot of characters both in Callixtus and in the real world. At some point, I'll create a fandom/wiki so you'll be able to visualize them all with art, along with a ranking chart of the different academy brackets. <<less

Evelyn is a painter. Her first real love was captured forever in her first oil painting. She was her first model ever. When her first lover died of illness, Evelyn learned how fleeting true beauty can be.... more>>

It took several months to convince Rachel, her second lover, to model for her. She became her first model for her sketches with charcoal, and other pencils. When life's circumstances took her away, she learned that love can also be fleeting.

Now, she seeks something more permanent. Something where she can preserve the beauty she once loved, and prevent her lovers from leaving her. A sculpture of her lover was the key, but who would be her first?

When she first saw Eva outside her small art gallery, which was also her home, Evelyn could see true beauty in her eyes. They were haunted, and carried a sense of betrayal within them. Her too slender form spoke of her life, as did the bruises on her legs.

Evelyn began to sketch furiously. She wanted to preserve that look in her eyes, so it would not be lost to time, or circumstances.

When Eva walked into her gallery, Evelyn knew what she wanted. She wanted Eva to model for her, and become what this perverted artist dreamed of for the last ten years. To turn a beauty into a work of art.

She wanted to preserve the beauty of her lovers before they left her alone. Three little words were on her lips, and they made Evelyn squirm in excitement.

Model for me.

Warning - There may be things you find offensive within. There is betrayal, signs of abuse, perversion, murder, drug use, manipulation, seduction, girl on girl smut, vampires and mind manipulation, and references to underage sex (not graphic).
This is entirely a work of fiction, and one that came out of a dream.
