Synopsis

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 kick ass!

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: Sukmayukimura (commissioned custom art)

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.”

Luminary Institute

★ 4.8

Esiyx

Nyssa has a friend count of... zero. Because she is, however, the adoptive daughter of the Luminary Institute’s headmaster, she decides to enroll at the start of the new term as a ploy to get more friends. Sure, the Luminary Institute was built for training those with high-potential powers to become the next generation of heroes or hunters, and, sure, her motivation for enrolling was a little suspect.

Yet, with the power to shapeshift into any animal she wants—fictional or real—she becomes the newest student of Class Zero.

Nerve-wracking.

The class is filled with people who have ‘problematic powers with high potential for destruction! The class has been nicknamed the ‘f- around and find out’ club by its own members! So, while her powers might fit in without a hitch, her goals in life certainly did not. After all, her ‘f’ing around’ consisted of taking five naps in a day...

Dual Souls of Dream Land Online

★ 5.0

starlet

In a world where fantasy is just a game to most, she is both a player and a native.

On one side, she was Frostina, the Frozen Witch, a top-ranked solo ice mage in Dream Land Online, feared by guilds, hunted for her defiance, and revered for never bowing to anyone.

On the other side, she is Cryssa Stelluna, a fragile noble girl of fallen grace, the youngest daughter of a once-mighty swordsman lineage, left helpless in the wake of civil war and betrayal.

Two souls, both broken by tragedy, now share a single body, reborn before the game has even begun. One was murdered disgracefully by jealous rivals in the real world. The other watched her family die by the blade, powerless to stop it.

Now, armed with future knowledge and bound to a legacy soaked in blood, they must face a challenge neither soul can escape:

Can they rewrite fate and save a dying dream world, while unraveling the mystery of who they’ve become?

A Cheap, OP Brawler

★ 4.0

Orange_Rain

A young Japanese man with eyes that take him as a 'demon,' Jinma Kotori, is killed by his former shady company and gets a second chance to live in a new fantasy RPG-like world as a bodacious goddess' 'Champion.' He begins his new life with the world's default starter class, a Brawler, and a defense-based blessing. Much to the goddess' surprise, Jinma's stats were already high for a human before the blessing was granted, and his first encounter in the new world of Raiza is a high-leveled, Special Monster ...

A typical isekai harem story with video-game mechanics and OP MC with monster girls as his main focus of love interests. Adult language, scenes, and content involving sex and gore are to be expected. Viewer discretion is advised.

This story is also published on webnovel.com and royalroad.com

But I got a second chance at life, and I wasn't going to waste it.

Original Novel

Shadowborn

★ 4.7

EApathy

Zaren saved the world once, and it cost him everything. But when a goddess seeks him out offering something impossible, he has to set aside his hatred for the divine. A threat from another realm threatens their world, and only a goddess whose domain is far too intimate for Zaren’s liking is convinced of its existence. She needs Zaren to prepare the world for a war nobody believes is coming before its too late. The only problem? Her deal involves resetting Zaren’s level back nearly to one.

Alone and with only a shadow of his former power, Zaren has to collect both levels and allies in the hopes he might stand a chance against the looming threat. But the world he’s trying to save isn’t quite the one he left behind. The rules have changed, and he needs to learn how and why before he stands a chance of saving anyone.

But if Zaren wants to have a chance at completing his impossible task, he’s going to have confront the scars of his past and unravel the darkness that lurks within him. A task that might have more to do with his mission than he previously thought. Luckily, those put on his path, seemingly by fate itself, seem more than willing to offer a helping hand. And, if he plays his cards right, quite a bit more.

(All characters involved in explicit scenes are 18 years or older)

What to expect:
-Overall plot driven with a serious tone
-While not the first story I've ever written, it is the first erotica I've ever attempted so expect me to be somewhat inexperienced in those areas. Feedback is always appreciated.
-Dark themes, traumatic pasts mixed with lighter moments that will slowly head towards happier waters as Zaren fights against the world he finds himself in.
-Chapters range from 3-7k with occasional long uploads.
-A competent MC with a tortured past doing his best to move forward
-Occasional other POVs from various characters, sometimes not immediately relating to the current characters (though they will always factor in eventually)
-Plenty of smut. Though it isn't the main focus of the story.
-LitRPG elements with less emphasis on number crunching and more on the end results so as to not bog the reader down with numbers and data
-A wide cast of characters, races, skills, classes, etc.

-No NTR, incest, furry, or generally taboo kinks

-Current (tentative) Update Schedule is Wednesdays at 6pm CST.
