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.
Fortress City has Super Villains, who have evil lairs, and in them they make super weapons. But when a bioweapon is granted super powers of its own, will Fortress City be able to handle the Super Minion?
Cover by Vitaly S Alexius
What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it?
Well, the people of Earth are going to find out, and it's not going to be pretty.
The moment the barrier that kept supernatural powers out collapsed, the only thing keeping the little pieces of floating rocks and the tiny people living on them intact, was the System’s intervention.
Mia, being one of those tiny people on the little floating rocks in the middle of the void, had much bigger problems though. Like goblins trying to get a nibble out of her guts.
It’s not all bad though, she might have monsters trying to eat her, have disturbingly pointy ears and an obnoxiously pink mane of hair, but she seemed to have some talent for magic.
Everything is going to be just fine. Right?
Expect:
- Female, Gay MC
- An MC that doesn't miraculously take to fighting goblins to the death like a seasoned murderhobo.
- Arcane Magic! UNLIMITED POWAH!(not really)
- A mostly benevolent System.
- I'm still figuring out the rest, so that's about it for now.
- MC starts out as a bit of a doormat. She slowly starts getting better at around ch 12 though. It's called character development, even if my MC is dragging her leg a bit too much at the start.
Schedule: Monday 6PM CET and bonus chapters on Friday 6PM CET (if there are any)
Dr Uru'Nav Xant, Department Head of Research, has been detailing his interviews with the newly discovered 'Creator level' intelligent species 'Human'. The Subject of his study, Jasmine, displays many unique and interesting quirks, the most intriguing of which is the incredibly strong 'frequency' she is able to produce with the help of an implanted alien translator. Together the pair navigate their way through cultural misunderstandings, corporate politics, animal companionship and uncover the mysterious circumstances of the human's abduction.
Combining memorable characters, exquisite world-building and an exhilarating pace, Transcripts is an emotional read that will have you ready to take on the universe!
Most of the professional isekai-ers known as Forerunners arrive on worlds in the midst of crisis. Be they invading armies, impending calamities, or unstoppable monsters, the Forerunner Program prepares and sends out teams of five to intervene in apocalypses across the cosmos, then to rally the full force of their saved worlds to create a portal home.
The Forerunners do not prepare to land in endless uninhabited wilderness with no gear and with broken Systems. But if Oliver, Alyssa, Henrietta, Clark, and Jacob ever want to get home, those are exactly the conditions they'll have to tend with. And when faced with a problem that requires the manpower of an entire civilization and only five people to work it, only one option presents itself:
The Factory Must Grow.
