After a massive earthquake ripped the west coast of North America into a new archipelago, an easily accessible form of energy was discovered to be pervading the atmosphere from the rubble. After a surprisingly quick global recovery, reports of demons tearing through reality and being fought off by people wielding strange weapons and magic surfaced worldwide. Nicknamed Magical Girls and Magical Guys- or just MGs- these figures quickly became the new center of society’s attention and pushed the world into a new age of uneasy, but mostly complete, peace. 

If you ignore the demons.

In stark contrast to the traditional image of an MG being selfless, caring, and trustworthy heroes, Silvia feels much more at home committing petty theft and getting into places she really shouldn’t be- out of simple boredom and an opportunistic personality. This roguish streak makes it all the more surprising when a Semiseelie offers to form a contract with her so she can become a Magical Girl- just after she got back from her most recent ‘excursion.’ And just before demons are set to open a Breach practically on top of her head.

Now living the dream of almost everyone but herself, Silvia is forced to navigate many of the things she hates: attention, expectations, and the nagging feeling that something is trying to kill her. 

Oh yeah, and demons. Can’t forget about those.

========

What to expect:

Chapters ~1,500 words in length every Sunday and whenever else I get around to it.A somewhat slow pace, but with many shenanigans.A very- and I mean very- slight touch of LitRPG / system stuff. Not too much filler. I hope. And no promises; my writing process is an enigma to even me sometimes.

========

I hope you give the story a chance and find something to enjoy.

“Would you like to make a contract?”

When eldritch horrors known as the Anathema began tearing through reality to invade Earth, aliens calling themselves the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity. Individuals were chosen and gifted with the ability to use magic and advanced technologies to combat the existential threat. Over twenty-one years later, the so-called “Magical Guardians” are still hard at work keeping the peace. With their flashy outfits, superhuman abilities, and reality-defying spells, they are the part-time heroes and full-time idols of modern society.

But none of that really matters to Mai, whose biggest problems are dealing with her family, classmates, and the ever growing dread of her imminent future. As far as Mai is concerned, mundane problems are more than enough to worry about, and the idea of magic and monsters might as well be nothing more than daydreams. At least, they were until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion… 

A Dark Magical Girl LitRPG with sci-fi elements. Note: Slow burn and slow, gradual introduction of LitRPG mechanics that become a focal point once introduced.

Please be aware this story contains intense violence, gore, traumatic situations, and other potentially unsettling content.

Chapters tend to be longer but with inconsistent updates.

This story is inspired by Stray Cat Strut, by RavensDagger. The "point system" for buying items is based on SCS's system. Magical girl Familiars are also a shared concept as both stories are in the magical girl genre. Some of the major differences between the two stories is this has a substantial LitRPG system including levels, stats, skills, magic, and also a generally darker tone. The first "arc" of the story is, however, an introduction into the world and characters, and as such, the LitRPG elements do not come into full play until later.

Grew up an orphan and had to join the knights, swore to protect people so they didn't have to suffer what I did. Eventually succeeded at the cost of my life, and was offered a new life but there was a catch. I was cursed to become a spider, and now I'm just trying to find my way again with my first ever friend in a new world.

Trying my hands on litRPG
It will have many of the same themes as my other story (Adventure, Fluff/Romance, Slice-of-Life, Progression)

Pacing may slow down at certain points and probably in the future so be warned.

A Journey in Darkness is the story of a human girl who finds herself displaced far, far away from home, in a new world filled with wonders to discover and perils to overcome in her very own way.

Waking up in a cave in her pajamas will only be the start of her problems.

Will she find a way out? Maybe. Will she get eaten while searching for it? Probably.

Is she going to be quite unhappy with the menu offered? Absolutely.

Hello! I’m Mr. White and this is my first story. I hope you will like it!

In this tale you won’t find a powerful main character conquering the new evil world with only the power of his tortured soul. What you will find is a normal person growing and finding her way despite the hardships she encounters in a world that is not so black and white.

I will be posting every Tuesday and Friday and I’ll try to keep as large a backlog as possible.

English is not my first language so I hope you will inform me if you find any mistake in the chapters.

Reborn to Rescue a Video Game World! After dying during a worldwide pandemic, ordinary college student Asteria was given a fresh start in the world of a popular video game. Her mission: to protect mankind from a forgotten danger. However, shouldn’t the original main character of “Tales of Vesterland” be given his chance to shine? Now, armed with ALL the cheats, she’s decided to let the hero do his thing while she saves the last boss and gets rid of the real villain who’s been hiding behind the scenes. Join this OP adventurer in her hilarious candy-fueled quest to befriend the hero, save the villains, and have fun!

It's a slightly risque slice-of-life comedy set in a world of technology and magic.

Also starring: Sariel. He thinks he's hot stuff because he has it all - looks, superhuman abilities, and a great fashion sense. Too bad that the process that gave him superpowers has a secret side effect...

Note: Multiple POV characters (male and female)

Cover: Warm Tail

Volume One is now available on Amazon as "I Will Save the Villain."

Volume Two is now available for pre-orders on Amazon as "Villain Rescue Scheme."

Winner of the 2022 Stabby Award!

Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic.

An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?

Adventures? Right this way!

A Grand quest? Nah.

Friends and loot? Heck yes!

Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food.

Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.

Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move.

Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws.

The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there!

I’m going to be posting M-W-F

I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue.

In the year 2057, the world has become a corporate-run utopia for the super-rich, and a hellhole for all the rest. 

Catherine 'Cat' Leblanc is an orphan that is about as far from super-rich as one can be. When the Incursion alarms start blaring and the sky starts raining hungry xenos, it's just another blemish on an already piss-poor afternoon. 

A cyberpunk magical-girl alien-invasion LitRPG.

It’s exactly as wild as it sounds.

On the surface, Xi Tianyi was the only son of Sword Empress Xi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, the number one expert in the Huang Realm. His birth was noble, his status exalted. But the truth was that Xi Tianyi was actually a reincarnated man from a world known as Earth.

On Earth, he was no one special, but with his new life, Xi Tianyi aims to reign invincible: past, present, and future. Among his goals was to travel back to Earth and reunite with his family.

However, as Xi Tianyi proceeds further on his Immortal path, he discovers that rather than the protagonist, why does he seem more like the cannon fodder villain?

Volume 1 is now available on Amazon!

Jai survives smugglers, assassins, Cultivators, and petty young masters.

She has progressed to the Qi Gathering Realm for cultivation and claimed her barony as a reward.

Now it's time to make the most of the Heavenly opportunities she has encountered.

For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing.  I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like!

Warnings - I tend to info dump.  I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold.  So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen

I prefer the first-person narrative.  I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter.

I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

I put all the warning tags to give myself creative freedom, but the story isn't filled with excessive gore or swearing.

This is my first time writing other than for school projects. The gender-bender tag is only for the beginning because I wanted to try writing from a female's perspective and needed an excuse for why my MC reads a little tomboyish. The gender-bender fades into the background over the first few chapters; please don't let the tag keep you from trying out my story.

Synopsis:

Second chances are rarely earned and even rarer given. Follow a new life in a new world where anything is possible. Our MC wakes up, stuck as a baby, needing to decide how she will live her new life. Let's see what future she can forge when hard work rewards her with status points and skill levels.

Author's Note: I'm currently slowly going back and rewriting my earlier chapters, so if you're starting to read this for the first time, try not to be alarmed if the quality suddenly goes down after reading a few chapters. I started writing this story almost three years ago, and I think I've improved as a writer since then. I appreciate your understanding; enjoy.

To Enter Five Peaks Magical Academy you must have a familiar. Abigail hoped for a bird, maybe an owl like her best friend's, or a cuddly cat or loyal hound. She would have been happy with a particularly smart toad, even.

Instead she got you.
