The gods exist. The Supernatural is real.
But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil.
They say Ignorance is Bliss. But for Adam, such Bliss woven by a lie is worthless.
In his opinion, Ignorance may be Bliss but --- Knowledge is power.
This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around.
----
He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother.
But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed.
His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality.
The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans.
An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us.
Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his.
To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary.
---------
The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality.
I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it.
We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore.
This will be a long road and I would be happy if you are willing to walk this road with me.

-------------------
Jack Saunders and Anna Saunders were just ordinary siblings who shared a love for Japanese culture and anime. However, their visit to the bustling streets of Akihabara in Japan took a dark turn when a mysterious magic circle appeared, trapping Anna inside. Desperate to save her, Jack tried everything he could to break through the barrier of the spell, but he was unsuccessful. He could only watch in anguish as the summoning spell whisked his dear sister away.
But this was not the end. When Jack discovered that multiple people were being summoned at fixed intervals, he realized that if he could break the barrier of the summoning spell, he could transport himself to the same world and save Anna. Despite the seemingly impossible task and the toll it took on his sanity, Jack dedicated himself to relentless study and research. He delved into every scientific subject imaginable, seeking a way to predict and break the summoning circle.
Two decades later, Jack succeeded. Armed with modern technology, full body augmentation, and the most advanced AI implanted in his brain, he finally broke into the fantasy world.
But the challenges awaiting him were far greater than he anticipated. The threat of a demon invasion loomed over the world, and corruption festered among humans. And the so-called summoned heroes?. Nah, it was just all part of a big lie.
Thus, Jack knew he had to grow stronger—and fast!
This is the tale of Jack Saunders, of his relentless journey, of his struggle against overwhelming odds to reunite with Anna.

I've read and watched so many isekai where the MC past life is just a loser. So, I thought, why not make the MC actually a strong, successful man? Why not make him a gigachad who forced his way into another world instead of getting transported there passively? Why not have him prepared himself with everything he could before he enters the other world?
Thus, this is my attempt in writing my own Isekai story where the MC's life on Earth actually matters, where there is an actual goal that is set even before the story begins.
Of course, it will still be full of anime/ isekai cliche that I love. Especially the beginning, it's inspired by The Rising of the Shield Hero. Therefore, some chapters can be dark and disturbing.

****
This book is an epic fantasy with dark undertones, one might call it grimdark but it’s not without humor.
I have seen complaints about the middle part of the novel, namely around chapter 60-70 some have said that it get too slow and I admit I made pacing mistakes there but the novel gets better right after and I believe some of the best content I wrote happens after that part so please make it through to join me and the rest of the readers on my journey.
WARNING: I don’t write brain-dead characters. Romance and harem, which are not the focus of the story will take time.
This novel was inspired by Soulsborne, all of it.

Beyond the Frozen ranges and through the Twin peaks of cruelty, the world of men ends. And this is where the Lord of destitute hibernate. His army of monsters, the destitute, consist of orcs, ogres, goblins and whatever cruel creature one could conjure. They come to the land of men, plunder, murder and take their women as playthings. They take their blood and feed it their lord – feeding him strength.
On another part of Deimo, closer to the borders of Deino, lives a boy. He is not like the others around him, for his hair is blonde and his skin is pale. What's more, his father's hair is red and his mother's blue. His name – Osmond Ward.
He didn't know nothing of the world, for he was merely seven. He didn't know he had the blood of the spirit of fire and water running through him. He didn't know that his family was banished, for his parents belonged to different castes; they followed different gods, and gods are selfish in their followers.
But when the monsters came to his village, and when they killed his mother, he couldn't nothing but watch. His father died on that day, trying to help him escape.
When he was taken in by his uncle, he had only thing in his mind; revenge. But for that, he need to see the world and learn. A world of Divine artifacts and chants. A world of elemental spirits and strange energies. A world of elves, the followers of light; dwarves, the followers of metal and rock; lizard men, the follower of sands, and demi-humans, the followers of lightning. A land of beasts and monsters.
The land of Graeae, a land of beauty and nightmares.

As a soon-to-be chieftain, Ashlani's responsibilities were numerous, complex, and often boring. As a recently reincarnated keelish (a reptilian pest), his responsibilities only extend to 1. survive another day, 2. keep his belly full, and 3. kill anything that keeps him from numbers 1 and 2. Oh, and, if the opportunity arises, take revenge on his friend turned brother turned murderer.
Ashlani was sent on his inaugural hunt as the chieftain-to-be of his tribe when he was shot in the back by the man he was closest to, the one he called his closest friend. Post-mortem, he was greeted by a [System], the elect, singular keelish representative. Now, his focus must be on continuous growth and evolution, to awaken to his grand potential, and lead his new people to a new age.
This is a reboot of my previous novel, Ashlani's Reincarnation, a grimdark take on a LitRPG reincarnation novel. This is a slower, more methodical approach to story, and I hope that its quality will reflect that. I update five times a week, usually weekdays, but if I miss a weekday, I make it up over the weekend.
A college scientist who is near-blind is reborn into a tentacle monster that can see everything. But will what he see with his new vision? Will he see the truth of the new world he is reborn in? Or will he see his past life flash before him as his body evolves into something ghastly? In the world of Zareth, one thing is sure. And that is the glory and honor of hunting down a Beast Born. A beast that has a human mind and soul.
Every reincarnation comes with a price.
Gods against Demons. Humans against Beasts. The Seven God Realms of Zareth are finally unleashed. Will the young scientist survive in this new system world? Watch him as he cultivates his way to the top.

I could have chosen any class, but I chose the most perverse one
I wanted everything. But I got nothing.
And I died. Frustrated, dissatisfied, unfulfilled. The darkness in my heart is as black as the darkness in which I am immersed in this oblivion.
[[ CHOOSE YOUR CLASS ]]
When I opened my eyes, I became someone else.
Different appearance, different voice, much younger, and in a different world.
I'm the villain of this story, and I have some peculiar abilities.
I could have chosen any class, but I chose the most perverse one...
I will use the abilities and powers of my secret class to obtain everything I desire and assert my dominance over others.
It will be a lot of fun!

My Magus Academy is Run by Players?! [Western Cultivation LitRPG]
“Do you want to know what it feels like to have players at your beck and call?”
Victor Asteriscus is just like any other acolyte treading on the Magus path until his comrades betray him for a broken artifact. In a moment of desperation, he accidentally stumbles upon an abandoned academy and receives a System that can summon… players?
One thing is for sure, these “players” from his old world will help him embark on a quest to develop the academy, complete various missions, and harness the power of magic. Let them kill magical beasts so that he can be promoted further? That’s too simple!
With an army of fearless, immortal players and a sassy assistant fairy under him, what’s there to fear in this world full of endless dangers and mysteries?
Come join Victor in building the greatest academy the world has ever seen and conquer the entire universe!
Contains: LitRPG, Fantasy, Power Fantasy, Comedy(?), Western Cultivation, Settlement (Academy)/Kingdom Building, Magitech, Dungeon Diving, Crafting, Strong to Stronger MC, No Harem, and much more.
Author is a great fan of WMW; however, the story has a totally different setting, magic system, and characters. This one is definitely not as grimdark as that. Other than that, this story is also based on a lot of other novels with similar setting of summoning players.
The story is a bit slow pace at the start, but it will pick up once the setting is established.
Disclaimers: Real company, website, and software names are used fictitiously and not intended to depict actual companies.
{STORY IS COMPLETED}
The strong rules over the weak. It has been a golden rule since ancient times. And so, weak people were discriminated, treated with injustice.
In this story, we follow Ava, a 10-year-old girl who got caught in the attack of her own settlement by a military force.
Through an incident, Ava realized the power within her gene, Aegis. With her newfound power capable of overwhelming any weapon and armor the army possessed, she paved her own way of finding her parents.
What follows her afterwards were nothing that could be considered as happy. At least, not from the point of view, of a 10 year old girl.

My name is Fiubun, the second child of a fatherless family. Son of a stunningly gorgeous songstress mother with (probably) angelic blood, brother to a half tiger beastmen sister with a killer sexy body, and a recently-matured, full tiger beastman myself.
But I'm a weird kid. "Too curious for my own good," others have said, and I think they're kind of right, especially when it comes to magic, but is the desire to learn really that bad of a thing? I'm a tiger, not a fucking housecat, so I can deal with a bit of danger.
In fact, I can deal with a lot of danger, but only because I have to. There are many dangerous things and beings in the Shattered Realms, and my fate seems to be set in having me meet with quite a number of them.
My curiosity will become my bane because there seems to be quite a lot of power to be gained from forbidden knowledge, but with a fate like mine, curiosity is a strength.
We live in the Dark Forest of Hatarvros, an actual city named "Dark Forest of Hatarvros" (yes, it's a weird name, but blame the rulers, who want to please the Gods, and They're pretty weird) (and also, yes, there's an actual Dark Forest outside of Hatarvros), which is near the Edge of Reality of the Vorosza Kingdom of Clouds and Moss (another weird name because Gods). Even though we're in one of the Good Nations, we still have to watch for monsters that spawn from the wild magical energies at the Edge.
And that's not the only danger. There are Trickster Gods that mess with the soulful, demons that haunt places of sin, Xenos who try to take our lands, Outsiders who attempt to subvert our religion, Tears of Reality that can pull unsuspecting people into deadly pockets of space, unpredictable Trickster Gods like Santa and Roulette, and the ever-present fear that one day a Broken Realm full of powerful beasts will wander too close to the Central Realms, and then our lands will be ravaged once again.
On the more tangible side of dangers, there's the Carrion Grove who hates all living, pirates that hide in the Warpspace, cultists of The Seven Wretched Fetuses who poison our minds, the Shadah House of Fae Rulers who want to enslave all other races, the Kamae of the High Heavens who keep starting wars, invasions of abominations from the Cursed Realms, the annoying Poop Rage Monkeys, the Wandering Elemental Gods ruining crops, and even the other Good Nations of the Central Realms who constantly bicker and raid each other.
But right now, what's most concerning for us are the rumors that the Mayor has been procuring guns. That can't be for dealing with monsters because you need experienced hunters for that, not just more weapons, so people are saying that war might be coming.
I guess it may be a good idea to learn magic so that I can at least prepare for the worst. I have some money stored, and hopefully, it'll be enough to pay the tuition of a school of magic…
--------------------
*Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content
*What to expect*: A rather slow story focused on character interactions, the MC's gradual growth and development, and the exploration of the Shattered Realms.
A bit dark but not grimdark, though it'll have its "moments."
The plot exists, but it *slowly* becomes relevant.
Detailed environments and extensive world-building.
Tactical and strategic combat.
A rather deep and complex magical system.
*Lots* of descriptive sex scenes, but not like the usual smut novel where sex is the goal of reading.
A harem where each character has a different relationship with the MC.
Occasional weird wording and grammar because English isn't my first language.
This story will also be uploaded to a number of other sites soon.

Cover is a temporary placeholder until I commission a proper one.
Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new form of bacteria: Revenants that live upon the hearts of their hosts and grant them superpowers.
In the following years, Urasaria Academy is formed to house crime-fighting students who are tasked with investigating and killing criminal hosts. In modern America, the young loner lesbian Mia Schultz is kidnapped by a headless man and given Worldwide, the ability to summon a swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria Academy, she is soon pulled into a mystery of Worldwide's true origins.
This story features a primarily-lesbian cast, although there are bisexual & transgender characters. Common themes in this character-based novel include emotional growth, loneliness and what it drives people to do, how memory alters perception, human selfishness, power and how it is wielded.
If you are tired of self-insert harem isekai and want a mature story where realistic characters go through deep psychological drama (in-between murdering the absolute shit out of criminals), then Urasaria is for you. I also promise that the story is accepting of lesbians, bisexuals, and trans people. You will not be stereotyped or fetishized.
If you would like to read other disclaimers for this work, continue on below. While this is an LGBT+ story, it does not feature:
• Coming out: All female students are already assumed lesbians (although a few are bi).
• Excess homo/bi/transphobia: Villains may use slurs, but hero students are generally accepting.
• Gay burying: There are a few secondary characters who die, but couples are safe.
• Grimdark: My approach to writing is that art should depict reality in its full spectrum of human emotion: laughter, anger, absurdity, seriousness, frustration, sadness, grief, and joy. What is silly should be treated sillily and what is serious should be treated seriously.
What this work does feature:
• Ultraviolence: Expect decapitations, ripping heads off, filling enemy's throats with scissors and snapping men as one snaps a wishbone.
• Untagged 'dark' subjects: Please note that there are characters with backstories involving trauma, abuse, or addiction. I do not intentionally provoke negative emotions in readers nor attempt to shock with trauma -- I am just trying to faithfully render all contours of an inner emotional landscape.
• I do not always agree with my characters & my characters do not always agree with me: I really shouldn't have to say this, but a character spouting an opinion does not equal me agreeing with their opinion. Read critically; sometimes, a character may be intentionally inconsistent or hypocritical to make a larger point about their character.

Cover by Konorin!
"Everyone else got transported into a video game. I was freed from my mortal shell, becoming a ghost in the machine. This is no game, it is my new reality and I intend to see everyone else recognize that fact." Voidslayer58008, in response to the slaughter of millions.
The main character isn't a good person, I'll just put it that way. I'm not going grimdark with the tone, but there will be situations that would be grimdark from a different character's perspective. I don't intend to have any explicit R18, but there will/may be situations that develop right until that point. Maybe I'll change my mind as I write more, but not right now.
Seraphic Dawn - an aurea's light (The Seraphim Covenant, #1)
The Seraphim Covenant is a mature / adult high-fantasy novel set in a grimdark "might makes right" setting that stretches across multiple planes and explores the concept of power from different angles. The main emphasis lies on the characters, their interactions with the setting and how it affects them. It features a (dark) romantic subplot between the two MCs, which plays a central, defining role of the story.
There are also soft litRPG elements and while it has a Harem Tag, neither are a focus. Polygamy and polyamory will eventually play a role.
The story follows a young immortal seraphim and her mortal champion as they navigate and brave a setting where every misstep can result in their death, enslavement or worse.
Please be aware of the Tags!
This story features adult and mature themes (such as torture, slavery, (sexual) abuse, power-disparity etc.) and the protagonists are neither saints nor are they immune to the way the setting works.
There is occasional explicit sexual content, so if that is not your cup of tea feel free to skip this story.
---
What to expect:
- A mature novel about power dynamics in a grimdark 'might makes right' setting.
- A pair of MCs that will grow to need each other quite literally.
- Developing MCs with shifting convictions, but a moral code nonetheless.
- Two magic systems, one of which is derived from the other. (Technically, there's an original third but it won't come into play for a long time.)
- A believable 'might makes right' epic fantasy setting that has been in place for centuries. The great war of old has already been fought.
- Soft LitRPG elements. There are classes & stats, but they're not a focus in a 'traditional' sense.
- Immortals, but not the cultivating type.
- A small cast of recurring characters.
- A dash of mystery. You as the reader will only know what the PoV does.
- Occasional explicit adult scenes, but not without taste.
---
What not to expect:
- Overpowered, perfect MCs.
- MCs which are immune to the setting.
- MCs who can act without consequences.
- Harem-seeking MCs. The Harem tag exists because polygamy is a reality in this setting.
- A glorification of the mature & adult themes I am tackling.
IMPORTANT: I want to maintain a posting rate of 7 chapters per week: about 10 thousand words or 37 pages.
What would you do if your dream of being transported to a magical world came true? And what would you do when you realized that this was now your new real world, and you were reminded that the real world is cruel and unforgiving?
A fantasy is just a fantasy until you live in it.
A young man who has lost everything is given a new chance by something he can only call 'divinity'. A chance to start over in a new world, to forge his own story as he searches for the truth of his lineage and the one this divinity calls 'his ancestor'.
What will you find in this book?
1: This is an Isekai Litrpg with a bit of Grimdark, there will be some vulgar language from time to time.
2: massive wars and big battles
3: Progression system with bloodlines
4: I'm a man of culture and this book will have some content for men of culture, but don't worry, I'll warn you whenever it has that kind of content so you can skip the chapter.
5: Kingdom building using a system.
