Paradise Pokeball System

Alright, so I could tell you some fancy synopsis, but you came here for Pokémon, so it's not like you don't know what is up. Instead, I am going to tell you a bit about the mechanics of my story. First! If you are looking for a journey that includes catching Pokémon and battles, you have come to the right place! But! The Pokémon will all get human like forms after they are caught, and will not be battling very much. They will be doing other things with Landon, the trainer, but I am sure you can rub a couple cents together to figure out what that means! Second! Humans will be caught, but mostly Waifu material. While some guys will be caught, there will be no gay stuff with them and the MC. The girls that he catches will be doubling as his Pokémon because of special skins they get for there poke balls. I could go into that more, but read the damn book! Lastly, there is a lot of sex in this book, but there is a storyline, so there will be times where the smut is spread out, or where it happens back to back. Also, the beginning is a bit rough, and I have to go back and fix some, but everything is straightened out later on. Sorry about that!

Ascension Of The Throne

Imagine dying on Earth and waking up mid-chase—hunted by armed guards and a man riding a horse big enough to be a monster... Well, that's what happens to Edric. Survival is Edric Veyra’s only priority… until he learns the truth. He didn’t reincarnate into a nobody. He woke up as Edric Veyra, last heir to a fallen house that once helped found the kingdom itself. A house now reduced to whispers, half-remembered stories, and something people would rather forget. Before he can make sense of it, a System activates—less a blessing, more a forced tutorial. Fragments of the original Edric’s memories flood in, incomplete and unsettling, as if someone tore pages out of his past. Along with them comes a weapon that shouldn’t exist anymore: a rune-engraved flintlock capable of firing elemental shots, a relic of techniques long buried. Hunted by beasts, criminals, and forces that seem far too interested in whether House Veyra stays dead, Edric is left with one question that refuses to let him run forever: What really happened to House Veyra—and who made sure it fell? To find the answer, he’ll need to grow stronger, form uneasy alliances, and survive long enough to uncover a truth powerful enough to erase a founding pillar of the nation. What to Expect: -Weak to Strong Progression -'Lite' litrpg System w/ Minimal Stats -Emphasis on Party Dynamics -No Harem -1500+words per chapter -Smooth pacing

Fleeting Memories.

This story is about a boy and a girl who like each other, but they don't know if the other person likes them back. Let's see if they're able to confess their feelings or not... in time. Read at your own risk. Reading this might feel like a half-dead experience because there is absolutely no life in my writing yet. This is just a random thing I am trying to write. I have no actual idea how to write, I am just doing it because the idea seemed fun. I am not good at grammar or the structured form of writing, so things might be all over the place. Basically, do not read it. It is just a random thing I am trying to do. So YEAH, DO NOT READ, NOT GOOD, ALRIGHT?

Edwin Lunar

Living on the outskirts of the futuristic city of Vestella, Edwin survives by repairing broken machines and forgotten technology while carrying the pain of losing his parents at a young age. The only things left behind by them are a mysterious silver ring and an old scarf — relics from a past Edwin barely remembers. But everything changes when a hidden organization discovers him. Taken to the legendary moon-world of Noroel, Edwin enters the secretive Lunar Dominion Academy, a massive fortress where gifted children are trained to become elite warriors capable of controlling the power of the Eternal Flame — an ancient energy source that powers entire civilizations. As Edwin struggles to adapt to the dangerous academy life, he forms unexpected friendships with the intelligent Iris and the loyal Carl while facing powerful rivals, brutal training, and mysteries buried deep beneath the academy walls. Yet strange things begin happening around him. Systems malfunction in his presence. Ancient machines react to his father’s ring. And voices hidden inside forbidden networks begin calling his name. Soon Edwin uncovers the terrifying truth about Groader — a former academy prodigy whose obsession with the Eternal Flame nearly destroyed Noroel years ago. Though officially dead, rumors claim Groader’s consciousness still survives somewhere within hidden systems beneath the academy. When a sealed underground sector known as Sector Zero suddenly awakens after twelve years of silence, Edwin realizes his connection to Noroel runs far deeper than anyone imagined. And the truth about his parents’ deaths may change the future of the entire system forever.

The Devil's Ante

What happens when the unluckiest man on Earth gets a class based purely on luck? I died in the most beautiful place a man could die - a shady gambling parlour run by a local thug. I'd never won anything in life, except for a couple of bucks in a pack of chips, and that luck was sure to follow me into the afterlife. Turns out heaven isn't as nice as they say. It's quite fucking awful, actually. A four-foot-in-heels goddess of luck took one look at my soul, decided I was a problem, and awakened something in me that dragged me into a whole new world. Now this awakened System has decided my entire combat class should be Gambler. Do you want to know how it works? I throw a punch, the System flips a coin, and if it comes up wrong, it bills me. And it does that by attacking me, not the guy I was trying to hit. Everyone keeps telling me to bet small. Bet safe. Survive. Yeah. We'll see.

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE
