Tarrin Vex is a liar, a thief, and a conman—nothing more. Born in the slums of the Lunarian Union, he was never meant to be powerful. Never meant to be chosen. He doesn’t have a noble name, a rare bloodline, or a single reason the gods should care. So when he awakens—when that cursed mark burns itself into his skin—Tarrin knows one thing for certain: He wasn’t ready. And worse, they’ll throw him into war anyway. In a world ruled by the Awakened—those gifted with power born from ancient, warring gods—Tarrin has no sword, no training, and no interest in being a hero. But the battlefield doesn’t care. The system is brutal. The monsters are real. And the deeper he goes, the more he realizes: the gods that built this world didn’t leave it behind. They buried something in it. Something waiting. Tarrin Vex has one weapon: his mind. And if he’s going to survive the frontlines, the betrayals, and the secrets the Awakened dare not speak… he’ll have to con everyone—including fate itself.

Synopsis: Bloodline Ascendance In the harsh, unforgiving lands of the Mortal Realm, Kaelen Thorne is just a simple, struggling villager, fiercely dedicated to his parents and his innocent little sister, Lyra. His life is one of quiet desperation, until a catastrophic incident shatters his peaceful existence, forcing him to unconsciously unleash a latent power that catches the eye of Elder Valerius from the Azure Sky Sect. Discovered for a potential hidden talent, Kaelen is taken as a disciple, thrust into the treacherous world of cultivation. Little does he know, the burst of power was merely a flicker of his dormant Apex Genesis Bloodline—a forgotten heritage that traces back to primordial chaos beasts, granting him the unparalleled ability to transform into composite, devastating beast forms and command cosmic forces. As Kaelen battles his way through the cutthroat sect, facing envious rivals and life-threatening trials, his bloodline awakens in stages, granting him strength beyond imagination. His path to power is not a solitary one. With his family firmly by his side, uplifted and protected as he ascends, Kaelen embarks on an epic journey through vast Spirit, Immortal, and even God Realms. Along the way, his undeniable charisma and raw power attract a growing harem of beautiful, sexy, alluring, and powerful women. From the ice-cold Saintess Ling Feiyue and the dangerously seductive Seraphina Vex, to the regal Empress Anya Volkov and the ancient Lyraea Whisperingleaf, each wife brings unique strengths, challenges, and passionate intimacy to his life. As Kaelen rises, he cultivates not only his own strength but also a powerful lineage. His wives bear him progenies who inherit astonishing combinations of their parents' powers, amplifying the might of the Apex Genesis Bloodline and ensuring a legacy that will span eons. Confronting tyrannical emperors, cosmic abominations, and ancient secrets, Kaelen must master his unique transformations, forge an indomitable empire, and protect everything he holds dear. "Bloodline Ascendance" is a sweeping saga of a humble youth who defies destiny, wields unmatched primordial power, conquers realms, and builds an ultimate dynasty forged in passion and loyalty, ascending to become the supreme progenitor of a new, dominant cosmic order.

He was a man. Then he woke up in a cage... with boobs. And a dick. Not even a woman. Not a man either. A futa. No memory of how it happened. No warning. Just a System… and a caged body no one explained. Dragged like cargo. Treated like a thing. Then the orcs came… Not to kill her—but to keep her. Not as a slave. As their holy breeder. And they worship her like a fertility idol—with teeth, tongues, and wombs ready. Every night, orc wives brawl to earn her body. And every climax… levels her up. Strength. Stamina. Skills. But her body isn’t hers. Her role isn’t hers. She’s just trying to survive. “Is this really how I’m supposed to get stronger?” In a world where women rule and men obey. She was a man. Now she’s a futa—and every orgasm brings her closer to godhood… or ruin. But this world doesn’t care about her past—only what she can give. Whether she’ll rise, serve… or get bred into something unrecognizable. WARNING: This is a gender-bender futanari novel. MC was a man, now has a female-coded body with both parts.

In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched streets of Veridia City, one name is whispered in terror: The Vexillum Consortium. A monolithic crime syndicate whose tendrils choke every facet of life, they are the unopposed gods of the city's rotten heart. Their law is fear, their justice is death, and the police are nothing more than their neutered pets. To stand against The Vex is to beg for an end too brutal to imagine. When a desperate girl, Elara, makes a final, futile run for her life after witnessing the murder of her brother, the entire city turns a blind eye. She is prey, and The Vex are the hunters. Cornered in a dark alley, her hope extinguished, she collides with a man who is not from this city, a man with eyes that burn like embers. Kaelen "Kael" Ryker. He was only looking for a restaurant. But when he sees the girl's terror and the arrogant smirks of her pursuers, something ancient and cold within him awakens. They thought he was just another sheep to be slaughtered. They were wrong. He is the wolf the shepherds pray will never come. This is not a story of a hero. This is the story of a monster who hunts other monsters. The chronicle of a man whose power is so absolute, it inspires not just hope, but a terrifying awe. Watch as he dismantles the city's fear, piece by bloody piece, and builds an empire on its ashes, gathering a harem of deadly, beautiful women who are drawn to the irresistible gravity of his strength. He is not a hero. He is the FEARBREAKER.

There once was a Skeleton Demon King so dreadful that even the gods were vexed by him. “If you do our work for us, we’ll turn you into a human.” However, the gods deceived him with a fraudulent contract and sealed him away. “Now that the Demon King is gone, let’s eliminate all demons.” “For demon subjugation and evangelism alike, let’s entrust it to the precious [Saint] on our behalf.” “As for that insolent Skeleton Demon King… let’s torture him for life, imprisoned within a maggot.” That’s definitely what happened, and yet. “Oh my, baby Saint, you’re awake?” He had become the Saint? Moreover, the son of a Duke of the Holy Empire that sustains the gods? Then, if he destroys this country, won’t the gods also be destroyed? “Oh my, why does the baby Saint seem so pleased?” “Baby Saint, this is the hateful Skeleton Demon King’s toy. Would you like to break it once?” “The great gods have reclaimed everything from the Skeleton Demon King who insolently challenged a god despite not knowing his place.” …Let’s destroy this country. Let’s destroy it while taking the gods’ backbones as well.

Forty-seven hours of straight gaming, six energy drinks, and one massive heart attack later, I'm living inside my favorite game as the final boss everyone loves to hate. The good news? Unlimited power, incredible looks, and access to the kind of women who make porn stars look like nuns. I'm talking about curves that defy physics, tits that could smother a man to death, and asses that inspire religious experiences. The bad news? Everyone expects me to be a manipulative bastard who treats people like fuck toys and destroys planets for fun. The worse news? I'm discovering I'm really fucking good at both. My name used to be irrelevant. Now I'm Lord Raven Vex'thara, Crown Prince of the Dominion Empire, and apparently hung like a space horse with the kind of face that makes women drop their panties and men question their sexuality. Death, it turns out, was the best thing that ever happened to my sex life.

So to begin, this is technically a skyrim fanfic. Why isn't it in the fan-fics then? Simple! It's based on a game and I don't feel that counts as a fan-fic. Second, I've read like a few skyrim stories here lately. I liked them, as a bethesda fan boy... Well, now I need to take a crack at it. I literally start a new game of skyrim every new year. Its my tradition, so I felt I had to do this. If its bad, ah well. If its good, GREAT! Overall though, I feel we need more skyrim based stories or fan-fics. It has the perfect setting for the transmigration genre. Now read at your own risk.

He was a physicist from 2030. Now, he’s a seventeen-year-old cadet in a war-torn future, where humanity fights monsters from other dimensions. When Darian Vex is pulled into a catastrophic rift experiment, his body is destroyed but his consciousness survives, transmigrated into a brutal future Earth unified under a single military regime: The Federation. In this new era, children are trained from birth to kill dimensional beasts and awaken powerful companions known as Rift Beasts. These creatures evolve, bond, and grow stronger with their hosts, governed by a mysterious system of tiers, talents, and beast cores. But Darian knows nothing about beasts. Nothing about cultivation. Nothing about surviving. Until, during a desperate trial, he kills his first monster and forms a bond with something no system can classify: A Sovereign-grade Void Dragon, mistaken for a Rare-class serpent by Federation AI. Now, with power he barely understands, a system he doesn’t trust, and enemies rising all around him, Darian must navigate a world built on strength, secrets, and slaughter. He must train, evolve, and survive long enough to reach the stars because the beasts aren’t the only threat. Out there, in the void beyond the Rift, something far older is watching.

In A World full of power and magic, once a hero now a walking corpse, a living reminder of what the world did to 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.

When I woke up, I was still covered in glitter. And not like cool anime afterglow glitter. This was shame glitter. Sticky. Cursed. Eternal. “System…” I croaked. “Am I dead?” Status: You’re alive. Barely. Dignity: Deceased. I sat up in the crater, back cracking like popcorn. Across from me, Vex was still embedded in the metal wall. She twitched. Groaned. Alive. Somehow. Note to self: Rubber chickens are now S-class weapons. I wobbled to my feet, still riding the high of a half-dead win. My Core was faintly glowing—a dull, exhausted purple like it had just run a marathon while telling knock-knock jokes. And that’s when the sky glitched. Literally.

Axel, Kai, and Vex were inseparable, three boyfriends navigating the chaos of school, life, and everything in between.

Just one boy… and the fire refusing to die inside him. But in Olympo, power isn’t measured by effort, nor talent... It’s measured by impact.
