Updates: Everyday Privilege: cheap P.S. I would like to thank Homeless_straycat for the cover and Hansora for the fonts. ~ “Beautiful”, she murmured. Even within very little light, Master exuded a commanding presence; his stance was upright, and yet, he was soft enough to have the little pink tassel still on his waist. Just as she reached the end, Master took a few steps forward and raised his hand “Could I have the pleasure to escort you, Miss Asano?” Hatsuki’s eyes were expressive as they blinked a few times, staring to the core. Her hands, which were carefully pinching the hem of the skirt, left loose and stared at the Master for a few seconds. “You may, Sir…” She placed her hands on Yuki’s cold palms. His fingers little by little intertwined with her fingers while his free hand reached for her chin. The tip of his index fingers brushed on her soft skin as his face gently leaned towards her as well. Hatsuki had an unreadable expression, as though everything that was happening was just a dream. Feeling that Hatsuki’s focus wasn’t on him, Yuki swiftly glided Hatsuki, making her feel the presence. “Raise your head, You are now the strongest woman in the after realm” ~ After realm, under realm, and hidden realm all mean the same.

Ashes Of Deep Sea

Duncan Abnomar was transmigrated to a magical world. Most of the lands of the world had sunken, and the surviving humans could only live on islands. Due to an unknown reason, the world was also contaminated and strange phenomena and things would randomly appear. Humans had developed steam gear technology, and the islands were connected through boats. They survived by studying strange phenomena that happened all around the world. However, as the captain of a scary-looking ghost ship, Duncan was facing a huge challenge. "How the heck do I steer this ship?" Highly recommended by experienced editor: MC is transmigrated to a world mostly covered in water and far from civilization. He becomes the captain of the ghost ship, the 'Homeloss'. He steers through the fog and adventures through the broken world and the unknown deep sea. As he discovers the ruins of abandoned civilization, he would also stumble into the war between the strange phenomena and the devil gods. The story takes place in a combination of ocean and Chutly mythology world, a new and interesting background. It’s an attractive story to read due to the author’s sense of humor and mastery over the ambiance of the story. --------------- Another-style introduction: "On that day, a thick fog engulfed everything. On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship. On that day, he crossed the dense fog and faced a completely overturned and shattered world – the former order was completely gone, and peculiar phenomena dominated the endless seas beyond civilized society. The island city-states and the fleets challenging the sea have become the only lights of civilization left, while the shadows of old days still lurk in the deep sea, waiting to devour this dying world again. But for the new captain, there's only one pressing question – Does anyone know how to sail this damn ship?!"

FFF Class Auto Hero: The Weakest Class Turned Out To Be The Strongest?

"Oh Lord Lunareio, you are the only one who can save our world." ... My name is Rikuya Takatsuki, and I didn’t ask to be summoned to some fantasy world with my classmates. But there I was, expected to be a hero and protect the Kingdom from Realm Eaters, dimensional monsters chewing through reality. Apparently, all the races summoned forth heroes of legend, which was sort of a shocker to me since it wasn’t the cliché "slay the demon king" trope. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. While everyone else got flashy powers and legendary classes, I was slapped with the FFF Auto Hero class—no skills, no perks, and no respect. The kingdom handed me some pocket change and politely told me to scram. Fine by me. I was all set on enjoying the easy life in this new world anyways, when out of nowhere a bunch of cultists kidnapped me, claiming I’m their prophesied god or whatever. They gave me a mansion, unlimited snacks, and zero responsibilities, so of course, I played along. But then my so-called useless class kicked in. Turns out Auto Hero means my body hijacks itself whenever there’s danger, turning me into some kind of unstoppable killing machine. Efficient? Sure. Ethical? Not so much. Now everyone thinks I’m this terrifying cult leader who takes down monsters, corrupt kings, and anyone dumb enough to stand in my way. While my classmates enjoy their shiny hero lives, I’m here in the shadows, leading a cult, toppling kingdoms, and pretending I have some grand plan. The truth? I’m just winging it. I mean... what’s the worst that could happen?

(BL)Alpha Made

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)

To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought, and that humanity may not be the side that she should be fighting for. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination. This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and world building, everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience. Public Spotify playlist for Volume 1 is under the name: TLAR - Book 1 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07czy216X1xB6F1mfRtl31?si=3cff937234e64589 Volume 2 playlist: TLAR - Book 2 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7dxCyfh3i4EV2SaEj0iVZs?si=9636c983657c475d This is rated 'No one under 17 permitted' for (very) mature themes, including drug use, assault, discrimination against same sex couples, language, violence etc. Please note that no storyline is chosen for shock value, and most are taken from personal experience, and hopefully handled with the care, respect and sensitivity they deserve. Disclaimers are added against any chapter that may cause distress. The main couple is a man and woman but there are also LGBTQ+ characters and relationships spread throughout, hope you enjoy!

The Sect Master Only Accepts Protagonists

Lin Fan one day is searching for games to play when he comes across an interesting title. However, when he goes to play, he finds himself transported into the game world, as the Sect Master of the Moon Embracing Sect. The once-mighty Moon Embracing Sect had long since fallen into obscurity, but Lin Fan has devised a plan to survive: the game mentioned an increase in power and talent with each disciple accepted, with the rewards dependent on the talent of the disciple. And what better disciples to accept than those with a protagonist template and the children of destiny? Thus, he established a unorthodox admission policy: - Those with missing parents and annulled engagements, automatic admission. - Those who talked to rings, old men in paintings, or mysterious artifacts, automatic admission. - Those who had survived more than three near-death encounters, automatic admission. - Those whose enemies enjoyed sneering arrogantly before getting crushed, automatic admission. - And, of course, those who carried the aura of a protagonist, automatic admission. The strategy seemed foolproof—until the Fifth Elder excitedly brought news of a candidate who checked every box. Lin Fan was thrilled… until he heard the name: Tang. Danger alarms rang in his mind. This wasn’t a disciple; this was a walking catastrophe! Without hesitation, Lin Fan rewrote destiny itself, erased the sect’s involvement, and carefully redirected this disaster-child toward their greatest rival instead. As he barricaded himself in closed-door seclusion, one thought haunted him: Had he just saved his sect… or doomed the entire world? A cultivation comedy where tropes are shattered, clichés are exploited, and a sect leader does everything in his power to outmaneuver fate itself! ================= Translated but with some things removed or added to make it more readable and logical. Where I found it and My Source: https://popularnovels.org/novel/97 Release Schedule: Mon-Fri at 12:00 AM EST.

Live a normal life in this new? World.

Synopsis:Main character troupe, there's seem to be countless of them but if you read enough series, all of them seem to be the same. In a world where every hero gets an overpowered weapon ("Legendary Weapon Chosen One" trope) an SSS-rank skill ("Instant Overpowered Protagonist" trope) a loyal spirit that turns into a lover ("Summoned Companion Becomes Love Interest" trope) our protagonist… gets none of that. Reincarnated into a fantasy world ("Isekai/Reincarnation Protagonist" trope) MC was supposed to be the next great hero. Instead, he remains weak— no hidden power ("Secretly OP But Hiding It" trope) no god-slaying sword ("Magic Sword of Destiny" trope) ( F-rank to SSS-Rank weopon) and definitely no harem of devoted followers (“middle age man to child”trope ) ("Accidental Harem" trope) While others rise to greatness overnight (" Protagonist Gains Power Instantly " trope) he struggles to survive in a world that rewards strength above all else. But true power isn’t always about flashy skills or legendary weapons. Through patience ("Hard Work vs. OP Cheats" trope) wit, and sheer stubbornness, he carves his own path—one that defies fate ("Protagonist Has a Grand Destiny" trope) and the clichés that bind it. This is the story of a protagonist who refuses to be special in the way the world demands… and yet, somehow, might just change everything. Updates: Three times a week, with chapters averaging 1,000 words. If you enjoy the story, please support it! !
