World Fantasy Award Short Fiction

Arthur is a single male from the US who played an eroge for almost a year and dedicated most of his fortune to it's gacha function. His goal ? Being the first, above even the creator and devs of the game. But one question, once he completed the current content available on the game, why did he woke up in the middle of nowhere ? - Author's note : This story contains heavy sex scenes, more than three chapters each, and somewhat regularly. They will also start somewhat soft and slowly approach more uncharted territories, going through a lot of tags that can be seen on adult sites, positions and further kinks if not fetishes. I do plan to make it somewhat enjoyable for everyone, and if you don't like a certain scene, you're free to skip it as there won't be any story text related in them, and if there is, it will be minimal to the point where it can be ignored. There isn't a specific publication dates for the chapters, I'll just post them once I finish writing them, can go to three to four chapter a day, to even zero for a few of them or during festivities, as I don't know what tomorrow is made of and I am certainly not a professional at this. Lastly, I hope you find your pleasure beyond this introduction and what lays, waiting for you, further in the story !

In a realm where even the faintest shadows whisper untold tales, I came to realize that the forgotten often hold the most powerful narratives." As an avid admirer of the world's most beloved series, I never imagined that one night's rest would pull me into its very fabric. "Why on earth am I stuck in this world? And why, of all people, am I him?" I had become Arthur Nightingale—Class A’s most unremarkable student. A magic swordsman barely worthy of mention, ranked 8th among the first-years. A mere footnote in the grand story. Still, with this body’s abilities and my own insider knowledge, I figured I could carve out a peaceful life. Or so I believed. "This was the only way," the voice repeated, resolute. "The only way to stop her." Little did I know how truly unique Arthur Nightingale was—or the path this journey would force me to take...

Find Out :) -----Disclaimer------- This is a slow-progression kingdom building story. The pacing may be a bit slow to reader but I will make sure that every chapters are amazing. Thus readers who like fast pace and very OP MC from start might dislike this novel. Reader can expect more macro economics than micro economics since this is building a kingdom/country instead of running a business. Also, MC will not have OP skill or ability but will balance it by making use of his knowledge and authority as a king. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!

Jason Carter always believed he was destined for mediocrity. His death was as unremarkable as his life—a freak accident that left no mark behind. But death is only the beginning. Jason awakens in a futuristic universe brimming with colossal megacities, interstellar travel, and worlds dominated by beings with superpowers, or Aspects. From the fiery strength of Solar Titans to the mind-bending abilities of Cerebrants, every individual is born with an Aspect—a manifestation of their core essence. In this world, power determines your worth. The weak are crushed. The strong rise to rule. Jason soon discovers that he, too, has an Aspect. But it’s not what anyone expects. Unlike most, Jason’s ability defies logic and categorization. It allows him to mimic and evolve the powers of beings he knew were fictional. Thrust into the harsh arena of survival, where warlords, bounty hunters, and galactic tyrants vie for supremacy, Jason quickly realizes that knowledge is power, and power is survival.
