I died. Then, I was reborn in a forest surrounded by monsters. The only logical thing any sane person would do is train their magic for a thousand years. However, the forest became lonely, so I decided to go on an adventure!
Aperio had been a slave for as long as she could remember. She toiled away in the palace of her masters, her body forced to obey, her mind no longer caring that she did. Her only joy was the small inconveniences an error in her work could bring, the resulting punishment a small price to pay. When the news came she was to be sacrificed in a grand ritual, she welcomed it—for most, death was a cause for grief and mourning, but for Aperio, it was her only way out.
However, during the final stages, something went wrong. Fate intervened, and Aperio found herself in a world she no longer knew, with powers beyond her wildest dreams. No longer a slave to the Empire, she set out to find her place in the world, and enjoy true freedom for the first time in her life.

Please do keep in mind that this story is a training exercise for me, if you have any critique that extends past ‘it’s garbage’ I would love to hear it.

Natasha Novak was a fairly known artist from an Earth devastated by pandemics. One day, she was playing an online game and falls off her chair as a moment of luck brightens her otherwise monotonous life, and dies of a stroke due to hitting her head.
Reborn in Galeia, a world of magic, she sets out to explore this brand new planet and maybe find others like her. Join her and her companions as she faces a world with a culture alien to her, meets Gods, and takes part in adventures all over the globe.
Not all is fun and games, however, as she is part of the most powerful species on Galeia, a Halve. Shady organizations that seek to free the world’s inhabitants of the yoke of higher beings want her dead, overpowering instincts leave her unnaturally willing to fight, and worst of all… she spent a million years in Hell before being reborn.

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."
All my life, I never once know what it is to be a family. My parents did not care about me and didn't let me start with my siblings.
Even when I diagnose with Terminal Illness by the doctor, they did not care about me.
The only thing that accompanies me in this lonely hospital bedroom is the game called Second Life. Sadly, all good things must end, and so is Second Life.
I decide to stay inside the game until the end and wait for me to release my final breath.
However, I'm reincarnated to another life when I open my eyes. I promise to enjoy my Second Life in this world.
Now, if only this woman stopped calling me a villain for a second, that would be great.
Summary: A chance encounter and ripple effects change the state of the board completely when Robert Baratheon has a bastard son with a woman from beyond the stars during his rebellion. In the wake of tragedy and great loss, that son will find himself tested in ways beyond his wildest expectations.
