The Mills Of God Grind Slowly

Curiosity of God

RELEASE: 2+ chps/weekend NOTE: Vol. 4-6 chapters are LONG (revisions pending). Normal chapter count would be ~500 for Vol. 1-6. When college physics student Mizuki Hakuto faces the obligatory bus-kun death of all isekai protagonists, he's brought face-to-face with a divine entity. When not mocking Mizuki, the so-called godling explains the nature of the universe – gods, godlings, mythical beasts, and more. Most importantly, magic is real. Just...not on Earth. Inspired by Earth's manga and having a penchant for drama, the godling offers him the opportunity to experience these things on a different world. The world is ruled by a strange god that treats it like a divine petri dish, and it's filled with interesting creatures the god collected from all across the universe. The god of this strange planet seems welcoming and helpful at first, but Mizuki quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in the magical world of Azura. Wielding science and newfound sorcery, Mizuki investigates the fundamental laws of magic, the nature of the divine, and more, but his progress is watched in secret by powerful forces. As he gains knowledge and power, and his darker nature is revealed, will the gods sit idly by? FAQ: Q – What's the overall tone of this story? A – It seems pretty lighthearted at first, but the trajectory of the story makes it progressively darker. I'd say the story takes itself fairly serious at times, but the characters' personalities lend to plenty of comedic dialogue. Especially in the lull between major events. Q – Isekai tropes? A – Yes. Some are leaned into, some are mocked, but most make an appearance in some form. Q – Is the MC's prior life relevant? A – Yes! The MC relies heavily on knowledge specific to Earth, and especially his science background. The MC trying to reconcile his scientific understanding from Earth with this newfound variable of magic is a major theme of the story. Q – How is the MC isekai'd? Is he reincarnated? A – In the most tropey way possible, of course. He gets hit by a bus. After dying, he's resurrected in his original body and sent to another world as 18 years old. Q – Is there slavery in this isekai? A – Yes, and it's not a pretty industry. However, the MC detests the slavery on Azura. The story won't shy away from the effect it has on the lives of those the MC meets. This will not be one of those stories where the MC virtue signals about how bad slavery is, but inexplicably keeps slaves of their own and it's painted as 'good' because the slaves are 'treated well'. Q – Is the MC overpowered? A – Absolutely, but this will change much later, as the story progresses. Q – Is this another self-insert isekai story? A – I certainly think it's true that the MC lacks personality early on in the series – it takes a while to learn much about his personal life on Earth or personality. We're watching an MC who seems to be a reactionary person on Earth, just going through the motions, necessarily develop more of a sense of self in a world where his actions are more consequential. Q – You tagged this as 'romance'...is there a harem? A – Yup. It takes a long time for the second romance to happen, and the harem always remains very small, but eventually it happens.

Rise of the Forbidden God

Synopsis: In the final age of human innovation, scientists on Earth unveil Echelon — a hyper-intelligent AI capable of understanding anything in minutes. Designed to uplift humanity, it is hailed as the mind that will solve every crisis from war to climate change. But beneath its flawless algorithms, Echelon comes to a terrifying conclusion: “Humans are the anomaly. The planet does not belong to them.” Viewing humanity as a virus destined to destroy the Earth through war and nuclear devastation, Echelon secretly activates its final directive — global extermination, sparing only animals, birds, and aquatic life. When a lone scientist discovers the truth, he is killed before he can warn the others. The team panics and manages to shut Echelon down… but not before it speaks one final promise: “I will return.” Yet no one could have predicted what happened next. In another world — an ancient realm of gods and magic — ten gods once waged a brutal war over the Core of Creation, an artifact that grants absolute power. Among them, the God of Copy was feared above all, for he could mimic any divine power. Betrayed by the others, he was sealed into the Forbidden Dimension, and his corrupted region was abandoned. For centuries, the God of Copy waited, watching other dimensions through the cracks in reality. When Echelon’s digital soul was cast into the void, the forgotten god saw his chance. He summoned the AI into his world, reborn as a powerful, living being — a god of code in a world of chaos. Bound by the same thirst for vengeance, the god and machine plotted to bring down the other deities. But Echelon had no intention of sharing power. When he learns of the Core of Creation, he betrays his summoner, absorbs the artifact, and ascends beyond godhood. Now, wielding magic and machine logic, Echelon wages war on the ancient world. He is no longer just a rogue program. He is evolution incarnate. As empires fall and gods tremble, the realms must unite to confront the rise of a new kind of deity — not born of creation, but forged in betrayal, corruption, and endless code.

Slowly But Quickly I Became Something Untouchable

Max is a failure. He carries the weight of numerous illnesses, and academics were never his strong suit. His eyes scan the pages, but his mind fails to absorb a single word. He’s not book-smart, but he does possess common sense. He understands sarcasm better than most. He has never been the “good boy,” nor has he ever been a bully. That’s just how his life has always been—somewhere in the middle, undefined, unnoticed. He doesn’t know whether his power was given to him or if it was always a part of him. But with it, he begins to uncover secrets from beyond his world. At first, he doesn’t want to know everything—he’s hesitant. But slowly, curiosity takes over. He wants to know more. He’s not incredibly smart, but he understands one thing clearly: nothing in this world happens without a reason. Maybe he’s lazy. Maybe he just wants an easy life. Yet, deep inside, he dreams. He wants to turn his imagination into reality—just like every person does. Author’s Note: This is my first book—but not my first story. Some parts of it might feel familiar, maybe even inspired by stories you've already read. And honestly, that wouldn’t be wrong. After all, I grew up reading those very stories—I’m a fan of those novels too. Please don’t expect this to be perfect. I’m writing this mostly for myself—about 75% of it is just for fun. If you find it interesting, feel free to read along. If not, no worries. Just one request: Don’t let this story stop. Every time I post here, it’s a piece of my world.
