So here I am—Nash, the most unmotivated hero you’ll ever meet. One day, I’m binging my favorite shows, and the next, I’m the new big boss of a Warden guild. Timing has never really been my thing. Between the Malefics, who think chaos is their calling card, and mythical beasts that just won’t stay in their hidden lairs, I’m constantly juggling crises and wrangling spoiled brats during my coffee breaks. And Mana, that subtle energy, can be a decent buddy… even if it doesn’t really get the concept of “snooze.” So yeah, between naps, I’m wading through high-stakes missions, magical artifacts, and guild meetings. And if the world needs saving, I’m here—ready to do it in my pajamas. That’s Nash, your guild master, set to ruffle even the coolest dragons! --- Discord: https://discord.gg/HrY5epthyw Participated on the Webnovel Rising Star II

The odyssey of a young man and how he found himself at the final battle between the legendary hero and the evil Demon king

I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

Stories... They are one of the major essences of life -- abundant everywhere, yet barely noticed. Don't believe it? Think... That colleague of yours that recently got fired, do you think of them often? Regardless, their life is a story. The old man you saw while walking down the street, how is he now? You probably don't know, but he has his own story. That acquaintance you've always known to be an orphan? They definitely have a story. Finally, that web novel author whose writing you mocked? They must have quite a few, including their own (you might just be part of one). The difference is that the ones deemed uninteresting and clichéd are not seen, heard or read by outsiders. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This specific story is about a man who thought his life was decent - maybe even better than that with his recent achievements. And it truly might've been if the poor soul went unnoticed by the cruel hands of fate. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try and read this newbie author's attempt of granting this man a story that would be considered his... and only his.

Zaraya Canwell is a warrior that uses a rather unique fighting style. Those who attempt to do battle with her will not find themselves facing off against a weapon, but rather, the tall, curvaceous woman’s huge backside. Using her rear to her advantage, Zaraya combats her foes by sitting on their faces, where she squashes and smothers them into submission while her lustful, dominating side emerges with their face submerged in her big butt. Set in a fantasy RPG world, classes from all walks of life set upon the unassuming village of Unkergotten, where those who intrude or threaten the safety of the townsfolk will face the wrath of Zaraya- and her booty. This story will be updated sporadically, I’m just doing it for fun and letting my background of erotic literature bleed in.

Potentially the worst hero in history check! hero complex broke check additional points being calculated” said the system unenthusiastically while innerly freaking out. ‘A hero with a broken hero complex How interesting and unexpected’ thought the system. “Would the host like a second chance and more power?” said the system trying to get on with it. ‘what the hell?! aren't I dead? maybe god has granted me a chance to do better, I knew the gods haven't forsaken us’ the hero thought clearly remembering piercing his heart but calmly composed himself with signs of his hero complex returning. “No idiot I doubt you could handle speaking to a god without them accidentally killing you, would you like to restart or not?” said the system forever shattering the hero complex that showed signs of resurfacing. “yes!” the hero said without much thought at the chance to do better and protect his friends.
