The Doomsday Reaver

The Doomsday Trials had one purpose: forge the ultimate warrior with the ultimate progression system. Not one place, not one time. All of time, to fight across every age of man, from the brutal stone age to a future of demonic hordes and twenty foot mechs. But the plan failed. No-one advanced. Everyone died and the trials were forgotten. Then Felix falls from the sky. Naked. Broken. Five hit points. Oh, and there’s a sabretooth tiger about to decorate the jungle floor with his guts. Great. Blasted to the dawn of humanity, Felix awakes in the savage past. No tutorial, the system hasn’t even been updated in centuries. But this place has rules and stats, and Felix knows how to exploit the hell out of both. Suddenly he’s doing what hasn’t been done in centuries – winning, advancing. Because the trials never needed a perfect warrior. Just an obsessive gamer. Right, plan. First? Don’t die. Next? A working HUD. Maybe some pants Chapter release 5x week M-F. 20 ahead on patreon 300k already written across three volumes. Cover by Alan Gomes

Shadow Emperor

Immensely powerful yet wildly down-to-earth, Xylan Miirak has never been particularly interested in putting up a front- even with the responsibilities of ruling his people. No amount of politics, bureaucracy, or public perception stops him from unabashedly being himself at all times, for better or worse. For the past ten millennia, he’s been able to keep this up, no doubt in part due to his quick wit and unmatched power and skill as a Level 7 Kinetic Sorcerer. Despite having to worry about ruling an interstellar empire, Xylan still has to worry about things like being a husband, raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and generally finding time for a life outside of work. Unfortunately, his life is about to get a lot more interesting. The evil warlord Romulus has unleashed his merciless Kymaran hordes upon the Andromeda Galaxy, and Xylan’s people are first on his list. Apparently, he wasn’t busy enough already.

Reborn in the Mist

Jason knew how he was going to die next. He's been Yagura for a month now and there's a Tailed-Beast living inside him, he knew how he was going to die next. Nobody wants to die, not even those that have done it before. Navigating the world as Yagura Karatachi, Elite Jounin of Kirigakure and Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Beast would be dangerous enough on its own but as a Kage-candidate for Fourth Mizukage, he's far too attractive for the likes of Obito and Madara to ignore. The true Yagura is destined for a near decade under Obito's genjutsu and his village the piggybank of the Akatsuki's plans. He can't let that happen and not just because he's caught up in it now. *** Allo, just wanna say this fanfic is my second go at envisioning a character in the position of supreme power; Kage. As Kages don't regularly do missions and violence often comes to them instead, there will be fewer fight scenes until Yagura/Jason begin to face the big threat to the Shinobi world. As such I'll mostly be exploring what *right* decisions Kirigakure could have taken and the challenges to those decisions post 3rd shinobi war, as well as trying to pre-empt Obito's Akatsuki with the current Kages; Onoki, Ay, Rasa, and Hiruzen/Minato. As an aspect of the fic, it will be very Yagura/Kiri-centric with other villages and characters having interlude chapters in between. I am taking this route because, well, it's interesting and I want to discover more of what Kirigakure and its Legendary Swordsmen could have been. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

The World Forgot My Name

Stars are disappearing, and nobody remembers they ever existed. Across the universe, entire stars vanish without a trace. No explosions, no warnings. One night, they are there. The next, the sky looks as though they never existed at all. Far above an endless sea of clouds, a boy named Kael spends his nights drawing the stars. He doesn't know why he does it, only that he feels an odd sense of loss whenever he looks at the sky. Then one night, he watches a star disappear, and a strange thought crosses his mind. He has seen this happen before. Kael doesn't understand the dreams that follow, the strange symbols that keep appearing in his drawings, or why a mysterious girl seems to know more about him than she should. But as the Silent Rift, an ancient scar in the fabric of reality, begins to stir after centuries of silence, he finds himself caught in something far bigger than he can imagine. Somewhere beyond the stars, forgotten beings are beginning to awaken. The Thirteen Primordial Fragments hold secrets tied to the very beginning of existence, while an entity known only as ZERO watches events unfold from the shadows. And somehow, Kael is connected to all of it. The more he searches for answers, the more he begins to question his own memories, his identity, and the world around him. Because if the universe is truly being erased, then why does it feel as though it is trying so desperately to forget him? And what will happen when it finally remembers?

The One Punch Demon

Julien is a young high schooler and a self-proclaimed loser. Everyone's punching bag. His classmates bully him daily and he had been wishing to disappear because he couldn't take it anymore. "If this was a video game, I would punch all of them with a single punch." He thought about fighting back but never had the guts. But in video games, he was untouchable. Number one worldwide on his favourite game, ABYSS ARENA. He had few challengers and none of them lasted long. It still wasn't enough to satisfy him though. One afternoon after getting bullied, he logged on, took out a challenger in under a minute, then he was still bored that he switched to story mode. He had been using his favourite character, Sorin, a powerful fighter, strong enough to challenge Lennon, a boss who had proven to be an opponent Julien simply couldn't beat. He gave up and let the game run on its own. Lennon made his final move and sent Sorin flying into the sky. The crowd erupted screaming Lennon's name. Julien closed his eyes in jealous. ‘If only I was famous like Lennon.’ Suddenly He saw himself falling. He was inside Sorin's body, actually, he was Sorin. Falling from the sky, he drove one punch straight into the celebrating Lennon and knocked him out. Sorin stood victorious. Julien (Sorin) cheered. "Yeah!" But the voice that came out wasn't his. It was hard and deep. Instead of erupting with cheers, the crowd remained quiet. Then the system screamed. "ALERT. ALERT. ALERT. Arch Demon detected within the Arena premises. This is a Code Red. All defense forces, converge on the Arena immediately." He had been given a second life inside a fighter's body — but that second life came with a problem. He was a demon. The entire Varenhold State was now hunting him. He was saved by Clara, an elf girl who helped him escape and showed him the ropes of this new world. What Sorin didn't know was that Clara was on a mission. A prophecy had foretold the coming of a powerful demon — and the person who sent Clara wanted Sorin to become the next Demon King. When Clara found out the truth after bringing Sorin in, she refused to hand Sorin over. She chose to become a traitor instead. With her trusted team of girls by her side, they fled with Sorin. But the threats kept coming. Sorin's fiancée in another state had her own agenda. She wanted his power, and she was willing to become an enemy to get it. Now the whole world is after him. Arch Demons aren't allies to any race. Every faction wants him captured, controlled or dead. How will a boy who just wanted to beat a video game boss survive a world that was never meant for him?
