When a group of ordinary teenagers is mysteriously summoned to a fantastical realm, nothing will ever be the same again. Grey, a quiet and intelligent high school student, finds himself thrust into a world where legends and ancient prophecies rule. Along with his newfound companions—Aria, the gentle and talented magician; Amy, the resilient fighter with a fiery spirit; Anthony, the determined athlete; and Jackson, the once-arrogant otaku whose inner demons threaten to overtake him—they must learn to survive in a land of peril and wonder.

"Erik, you committed a serious crime by plagiarizing a man's work," declared the God. "There are millions of criminals committing worse crimes than mine. Why am I being punished?" Erik retorted. "Because you stole a novel from a man who used to be a hero and died protecting the planet." --- "Hello, fraud. Live in a world as me, the pathetic hero you described, and I will be your greatest adversary, the demon lord," Rome proclaimed with a chilling smile. In this novel, Erik is reborn as the hero of the stolen tale, but the demon lord Rome and the Gods won't allow him a moment's peace. Because who wouldn't? Erik stole a novel from Rome, God's favored child. He plagiarized it, catapulting himself to the position of the world's top novelist while Rome spiraled into despair, ultimately ending his own life. For Rome, the novel wasn't just a collection of words. It was a universe where he had lived through triumph and sacrifice, where every character and plot twist had been a part of his own existence. As a former hero, Rome made a wish to the Gods. He yearned to be reborn as the demon lord in the same world where he had met his end at the hands of the demon lord, with Erik reincarnated as the hero destined to fall by the demon lord's hand. Will Erik defy fate and evade the clutches of the demon lord, or will Rome exact his revenge? Or perhaps, something even more monumental is about to unfold? ---- **Disclaimer:** This novel is a work of fiction and is not based on any real individuals or events.

In the kingdom of Eldoria, a great and ancient ritual is performed to summon the ultimate hero who will defeat the Demon King and save the world from destruction. The kingdom’s mages and wizards prepare with great care, knowing that the fate of their people hangs in the balance. But when the summoning portal opens, the hero they get isn’t exactly what they had in mind. Meet Kyle McGee—a laid-back, fearless Florida man who just wanted to enjoy a day of surfing and chilling by the beach. Instead, he finds himself mysteriously transported to a magical medieval world, summoned to defeat a powerful Demon King. Armed with no magic, no skills, and an absurd sense of confidence, Kyle takes the kingdom’s expectations in stride—after all, he’s got improvisation down to an art. From riding dragons like jet skis to defeating monsters with nothing more than random objects, Kyle’s wild stunts and unpredictable chaos quickly become both a blessing and a curse for the kingdom. While the terrified villains struggle to predict his next move, the kingdom’s leaders question how someone so unqualified can be their salvation. The Princess, Seraphina, can’t decide if Kyle is a blessing or a disaster, but there’s one thing everyone can agree on: Kyle’s completely unorthodox methods are the only thing standing between Eldoria and the Demon King. As Kyle’s madness leads to unexpected victories and ever-more bizarre encounters, the kingdom starts to realize that maybe—just maybe—his chaos is exactly what they need. But with the Demon King’s forces growing stronger, Kyle may be the kingdom's last, ridiculous hope for survival. Can a Florida man with no magic save a kingdom that’s way out of his league? If he can survive long enough to figure out what’s going on, he just might. It’s a wild ride filled with absurd humor, epic battles, and the most unorthodox hero the world has ever known.

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations. His job was everything to him. Until Luxor. Luxor changed everything. Luxor changed him. Ravi was done. The tiredness etched into his bones. He laid down his mantle and vanished. He chose the most boring planet in his memory for his retirement, except this Earth was not like the one he remembered- Nests, monsters, superheroes, and villains filled the streets but that was not his business.

In a world where nearly everyone is born with a guin, extraordinary power that grants unique abilities, only a select few are chosen to become a 'hero'. Through intense training and arduous challenges, these individuals are forged into protectors, standing as humanity's hope against all kind of evil. Takumi Kurata was born with a cruel and terrifying guin. His power allowed him to instantly kill any living being by pulling its neck from its head, a lethal ability that made even the most fearsome villains pale in comparison. The power could also be reversed, bringing the victim back to life if the body was properly reframed. Bullied for his dangerous guin, Takumi initially fought back, rising to dominance and establishing a reign of terror that made even his middle school peers cower in fear. Deep down, however, he struggled with his power, believing that the very thing that could protect the weak made him unworthy of being a hero. His dream of becoming a hero crumbled as he succumbed to a life of bitterness and despair. In a society where only some individuals can undergo the rigorous training to become a hero, Takumi’s path seemed lost. That is, until he met his idol, Mr. White—a hero who reminded him that power, in all its forms, can be wielded for both good and evil. Encouraged by Mr. White’s words, Takumi found new resolve, determined to use his terrifying guin for the greater good. This is the story of Takumi Kurata, a kind-hearted yet twisted boy, torn between his dark gift and his desire to protect others, as he strives to become a true hero in a world that fears him.

Somehow, I don't know how for sure, though, I've been sent to the world of my favorite game, Skyrim. The longer I'm here, the more I notice that this world is real. Not simply realistic, but real. Everything I do has an effect on the world, either good or bad, especially in the case with the storylines. I love Skyrim, but I'm not going to be able to survive here, right? How do I get out? Getting out isn't even the beginning of my problems. The longer I stay here, the more I realize – things are different, and not necessarily for the better. -------------- As embarrassing as this is, this is a Skyrim fanfic. It's probably permanently in progress, as I'm mainly just using it as a drawing board to practice writing storylines for games. Writing it out is just a fun way I've got for going about it. I've also written this in a style so that people who haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls series of games can read it as well. I warn you, though, there's a *lot* of words. Side note: I've also got this story on other sites/apps, in case you want to read it there. -------------- This is also a challenge to That Guy Right There. This is a combination of how I would write the fanfic you made, along with the fact that I got tired of waiting for the author, That Guy Right There, to finish his story, "Living Skyrim." It's pretty good, y'all should check it out. However, Guy's mc is an asshole, so I warn you now. The puns he makes are also kinda bad. So I challenge you, Guy. I'm gonna write my version of how it'd go, and you finish yours (unless you died.) This is a direct copy from my work on my other accounts on various reading/writing apps. Check that one out, too. It doesn't matter to me which you support, cuz I'm not monetized by any. I'm just the writer, man.

___Lost Notes___ In this age of superheroes, the public safety is at the hands of these all so powerful figures. Located in the metropolis of Condor is the worlds strongest hero, UltraMan. In his decade long carrier, he has destroyed multiple conspiracies started by the city's old elite, single handedly apprehended the mafias that encroached upon the weak and feeble and even stopped several alien invasions and infiltrations. It is safe to assume that such a man would have many enemies, but with skin that cannot be pierced by any earthly means and strength that puts the legends of old to shame, how can such a creature ever be defeated? If UltraMan wanted to, he could have conquered earth at any time. So why did he not? No one quite knows. '' In any regards, he is seen as the balancing force of the world. So what happens if he is removed from the picture? What if I removed him? How will the world live? How will "I" live? ....

Kail, a 23-year-old customer support agent, found himself in an unexpected predicament – he was somehow transported into the world of his beloved RPG game, "Stopping Ragnarok." To his astonishment, he wasn't alone in this bizarre adventure. Eight other players, supposedly the chosen ones destined to rescue the world within the game, joined him on this quest. Their mission? To thwart the sinister forces threatening to eradicate humanity in Terra Mercuria. It all sounded quite epic, at least in theory. However, as they delved into their adventure, reality quickly dispelled any grandiose expectations. The warrior turned out to be rather, well, twinkish, not exactly the imposing figure Kail had imagined. The mage had an odd fascination with dark magic, which was more intriguing than practical. The healer, a girl, had an unexpected twist – she possessed an anatomical surprise that defied convention. The Rogue, meant to be stealthy and ruthless, was far too polite and kind-hearted to fit the bill. The Ranger, whose title suggested environmental awareness, displayed a conspicuous disregard for nature's well-being. The Paladin, expected to be virtuous and noble, seemed more interested in flirting than righteousness. The Necromancer, a master of the undead, harbored a comical fear of his own creations. And then there was the Hero, the one designated to lead this motley crew. To Kail's surprise, the Hero vehemently rejected his role and instead clung to Kail, the Bard, as if he were a lifeline in this absurd world. So, while their mission to save Terra Mercuria remained a noble pursuit in theory, the reality of their adventure was shaping up to be quite the comedic spectacle.

Having been reborn as a Greater Succubus, Lilith finally embarks on her adventure outside of her Village. With her childhood friends (minions) by her side, she aims to lead a life free from responsibilities and expectations. Having suffered as a Hero in her previous life, Lilith wants no part of the spotlight and is very content in accumulating her strength while behaving like a pure healer to everybody watching. Would the World Admins force her into another struggle against the new Demon Lord, or would Lilith just shrug it all away as she focuses on enjoying her own sexcapades? Follow Lilith as she adventures around the world, seeking fun and pleasures that she rarely got to experience in her first life. ... This story is a Fan continuation of a series 'A Hero turned Succubus Tale' and is in no way intented to disrespect or damage the Author's original work. While hoping for the Author to be well and healthy, while also hoping that they start to publish the story again, this series hopes to expand on the story and to cure the bout of disappointment that remained within me due to the hiatus. This story will have lots of sex, but some plot as well, so it would be a mixed bag of those things. With Lilith being a Succubus, the mature content is inevitable here, right? And, just as said by the Author 'The_World_Tree1048' before, I too admire the popular works like 'Tales of a Seductress', 'A Goblin's evolution' and a few other unnamed novels. Really great inspirations to make you feel like typing something out as well. ... I really hope to see the story till the end, but real life often hampers in between. If you guys can, please support the Fan continuation to help me keep my motivation level up, and to let me know if what I am doing is actually worth the time or not through the novel specific tier ('Tier a' possibly?) Writing Fan continuations for hiatus novels became a hobby of mine before I knew it, and I hope to continue it too! What would I do with the fundings? Well, I need to take some costly skill courses to supplement my ongoing graduation degree and to earn some big bucks in the real life too! Help me out here guys!! patr.eon.com/ImmortalGod (Remove the dot after patr) . .. ... *Cough!* S-Sorry about that... it just came out that way. Ahem... The novels I choose depends on my own preferences (Slice of life, Romance, Smut, Slow life, Comedy, Childcare, Family, etc.), while I defintely hope not to encounter a select few ones (Horror, Propaganda/Political, Ntr, some Martial Arts ones?). However, you could commission your own desired hiatus novel too. 'Tier d' of my Patreon page is specifically for Fan commissions and as long as the work stays commissioned, the releases never halt, planned to be weekly releases directly published on public platforms like ScribbleHub, WebNovel or Wattpad. Please note that there is a limit to my ability and time and I could only possibly have 5 novels Fan commissioned concurrently, other than my own picks from Tiers a, b or c. For any further than that, I would have to note them on the waiting list. The chosen Fan commissions would be mentioned on the Tier d listing, and if there are any spots open, they would be reflected there as well.
