Transmigrated into a Fantasy World with No Clue What To Do

After dying in a tragic accident, Michael Yoon wakes in a world of magic, transmigrated into the body of Beira Braemar, the daughter of a powerful duke. Stripped of her old life and trapped in a body that finally reflects the person she always knew herself to be, Beira must navigate noble politics, dangerous magic, and a future already decided for her, including an engagement to a prince she doesn't remember. But something is wrong. Memories that aren’t hers surface without warning. Magic responds to her in ways it shouldn’t and unseen forces are beginning to move behind the scenes. Forces tied to ancient powers, twisted bargains, and something far older than the kingdom itself. As Beira struggles to reconcile who she was with who she’s becoming, she must decide: Is she living someone else’s life, or finally claiming her own? (Updates Saturdays at noon cst.) (I am also releasing this story on Scribblehub and Royal Road.)

The Chemistry of Healing

Olivia Hartwell is a scientist, not a hero. After a mysterious catastrophe tears her from modern England and strands her in the kingdom of Eldenoor, Olivia finds herself trapped in a world of magic, prophecy, and looming civil war. The first problem is survival. The second is finding a way home. Neither should involve treating wounded soldiers, arguing with healers, or questioning centuries of accepted medical knowledge. Yet as Olivia searches for answers, she discovers that healing magic can close wounds and mend broken bones while people still die from infection, disease, and poor care. For a scientist trained to look for causes rather than symptoms, the inconsistencies are impossible to ignore. Travelling with a company raising support for a prince seeking to reclaim his stolen kingdom, Olivia becomes entangled in a conflict she never wanted. Along the way she finds friendship, purpose, and reasons to care about a world she never intended to stay in. But some wounds leave scars no magic can erase. ________________________________________ A character-driven portal fantasy featuring medicine, magic, political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and the collision of scientific thinking with a world shaped by magic.

I Command

Some voices are born to be heard. Others are born to be feared. Shelly Halton was never given the chance to be ordinary. Born into a noble family, her existence became a secret that even her own blood feared to expose. But beneath the whispers, the shame, and the doors closed against her lies something far more unsettling than her appearance. Something that should have remained forgotten. In a world where a single voice can change everything, Shelly will discover that being silenced and being powerless are not the same thing. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Singing has always been a part of her life, but there are moments when her own voice feels strangely unfamiliar—as though it carries something she has yet to understand. Two girls, each with a voice of her own. Two lives moving toward a future neither can fully see. But the world is not kind to those who are different, and power rarely comes without a price. As secrets linger beneath the surface and the boundaries between fear, freedom, and ambition begin to blur, their paths will lead toward a conflict neither can simply sing or command her way out of. Because when the world refuses to listen, what is left for those who were born with voices that should never have existed?

The Ending Reader

People say every person dies twice. The first time when their heart stops. The second time when they are forgotten. Vael learned that earlier than most. In the rain-soaked megacity of Nexarum, he lives with a curse that allows him to hear the final words people will ever speak. Most are meaningless. Some are horrifying. But one night, inside a Dead Scene where reality twists into nightmare, he hears a silver-haired girl whisper: “Thank you for finding me again.” The problem is she says it like they have already loved each other across countless ruined worlds. As the city collapses beneath endless rain, fractured timelines, and horrors born from abandoned stories, Vael is dragged into a war against the inevitable end of humanity itself. And at the center of it all stands a girl trying desperately not to fall in love with the boy destined to erase himself for her sake. Because in every timeline, the world ends. And in every ending... Vael dies for her.

By the Grace of God

After a mysterious book appears on his shelf, Konrad Weiss, a history teacher, gives in to a temptation he’d normally resist. He plagiarizes its contents, unaware that the book is a gateway to another world. And, unfortunately, finds himself dragged into that very world, a place of horrors, magic, and secrets hidden from mankind's eyes. In the age he now inhabits, history and mythology have become indistinguishable. In the year 2065, following the Third World War, Espers pursue the mysteries of the body through science and physical evolution, while Magicians delve into the mysteries of the soul and the Supernatural. Each has their own goals, but they share a common purpose of combating the horrors within the dimensional portals, confronting the unknown, as well as negotiating humanity's survival with the gods. And here knowledge is feared, forbidden, and sought after by only a select few. But as fate would have it, Konrad is what one might call... a seeker of knowledge.

Gaia's Second Champion

Pulled from the River of Souls by a goddess, I’m given a choice: become her champion and defeat the enemy, or cease to exist. A second chance at life. Sounds simple, right? Yeah—no. The goddess is hiding something. The power I asked for? Not what she gave me. It was supposed to save my life, now it takes them. Yeah, that’s going to have consequences. My first friend? A Fae creature with secrets she’s too stubborn to tell, burdened by a past she regrets, and a punishment keeping her trapped between who she is, and who she used to be. Together we’ll fight, survive, and perhaps change things, and one another, if we live long enough. As we travel a world that doesn’t trust champions or Fae, the truth about the goddess’ struggle begins to unravel. I wasn’t brought here to save this world. I was brought here for something else entirely. This is an isekai romantasy, a tale about second chances and forgiveness, found family and the bonds that keep people together. It’s also about a fish out of water MC stumbling his way from one potential disaster to the next and the FMC who fights at his side. WHAT TO EXPECT : NO harem A romance integral to the plot Spice, mild to heavy, beginning in Vol 2 2 POVs Dialogue heavy, with fun banter Pulpy-style prose Updates M/W/F, large backlog, 60k+ new words/month.

Cultivation: My Wives Are All Immortal Bigshots

✨ Cultivation (Detailed) ✨ Slice of Life ✨ Physician & Alchemist ✨ Yang Body ✨ Romance ✨ Sword Cultivator ✨ Spirit Chef ✨ Scholar ⚠️ BEFORE YOU PROCEED ⚠️ - This novel is based on an Eastern cultivation power system with sects, clans, and Dao concepts, while also incorporating Western fantasy elements such as elves, demi-humans, and more. - Both English and Chinese names are used throughout the story. If this style doesn’t suit your taste, this novel may not be for you. - Romance is a core element... expect gradual development, wholesome sweetness, and plenty of heartfelt moments. Yes… maybe a little too much sweetness. - The cultivation system is detailed and clearly defined, progressing step by step through Body, Soul, and Spirit cultivation. - This is my first novel. Please give it a chance for at least the first 12 chapters... I’m confident it won’t disappoint you. Su Wen was looked down upon by his companions; while they had already reached Peak Foundation Establishment, he was still 'stuck' at the Qi Refining stage. What they didn’t know… Su Wen: “It’s not me who’s trash… it’s you. I’m cultivating an Unknown-Grade Body, Soul, and Spirit technique, passed down by my mortal grandfather!” “Wait… my grandparents are mortals? Then how do they even know cultivation techniques?!” “The girl I treated after she failed her Heavenly Tribulation… she wants to marry me… but secretly she is…?!!” “That elf girl… I…” “That White Tiger…” “That Black Dragon…” "From a small village to the top of the world, he will become the greatest… Husband." What to expect: - A smart, prideful, and clever MC who fools countless villains with his BS - Heart-warming interactions with his wives, occasional chaos, and charming screw-ups - Detailed cultivation system (Soul, Body, Spirit) - Hard work, training, and dedication - Wives causing chaos wherever they go What NOT to Expect: - System or cheat powers (MC and wives achieve everything through hard work) - 2D characters (Every character is unique; not every woman is meant for the MC. Those who are, are special and few) - Weak humans vs. overpowered demons/beastmen (strength depends on cultivation) PLEASE SUPPORT ME VIA PAYPAL/KoFi FOR CONITNUOUS UPDATES....

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.
