Set against the sweeping backdrop of 19th-century England and Australia, Collin Peacock: Noble Blood, Convict Chains is the compelling story of Collin Peacock, a man born into the shadows of nobility, fighting to carve his place in a world that constantly pushes him aside. Born on December 13, 1805, Collin and his twin sister, Mary, are the illegitimate children of Jane Peacock, a commoner, and Lord Peter Campbell III, a wealthy sugar plantation owner from Jamaica. Though their father acknowledged them in his will, societal norms prevented him from offering more than financial support, leaving them to grow up in the quiet village of Little Fencote, Yorkshire. Despite his noble blood, Collin was a man of modest means, working as a stockman and poultry seller. His strong will and keen intellect, sharpened by an education his mother secured for him, set him apart from others in his village. Life for Collin took a devastating turn in 1836 when he was falsely accused of receiving stolen pigeons, a crime instigated by his father’s family, the Campbells, who had stopped paying the small sum left to Collin and Mary after Lord Peter’s death. The accusation led to his arrest and a harrowing trial at the Old Bailey. Despite his protestations of innocence, Collin was sentenced to seven years of hard labor in Australia, torn away from his wife Ellen and their four daughters. The journey to Australia aboard a prison hulk was nothing short of a nightmare. Collin’s name was misspelled as “Colling Peacock,” an obvious clerical error that became a new identity in his convict records. Yet, even as he faced the brutal conditions of penal life, Collin found ways to maintain his dignity. He used his education to teach other convicts how to read and write, and his skills as a horseman earned him respect among both prisoners and guards. When news of Ellen’s death reached him from England, Collin’s grief was profound, but it also marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Upon completing his sentence, Collin married Jane Brennan in Australia, and together they started a family. With his indomitable spirit, Collin seized the opportunities available to him, acquiring land and building an agricultural empire in Laidley, a town that would later become part of Queensland. Collin Peacock: A story of resilience, betrayal, and redemption. It chronicles one man’s journey from the green fields of Yorkshire to the harsh, untamed landscape of Australia. Collin’s life is a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds, as he rises from the ashes of a fractured family legacy to create a legacy of his own.

I lay there, in a river of my blood as I watched the one loved most lay headless. I looked on as the sky fell apart and our world was eaten up. We had lost the war that those bastards started. We had no choice but to enter a losing battle. We would lose everything regardless. As my soul was about to be annihilated, I was met with a bright light. One that took my soul back to before the war began. I was given a second chance by the one I love. The gods that started The War of Realms, wait for me. I will do whatever it takes to end your reign. It matters not that you had a valid reason. It matters not that it was for the greater good. What matters is that you all are the reason that everything and everyone I loved had once died. I will save them all and in return, send you to a place you can't return from. ----- Author: I have the first 11 volumes planned out. It would be nice if you gave this a try. The first 4 chapters are in the FL's POV and then we shift to the MC's POV. From there we shift back and forth between the two with some chapters being from the side characters or third person view point. P.S.: There might seem to be some female characters that aren't the FL that like the MC but this is not a harem. MC is devoted to the FL and is a loyal man.

Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new form of bacteria: Revenants that live upon the hearts of their hosts and grant them superpowers. In the following years, Urasaria Academy is formed to house crime-fighting students who are tasked with investigating and killing criminal hosts. In modern America, the young loner lesbian Mia Schultz is kidnapped by a headless man and given Worldwide, the ability to summon a swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria Academy, she is soon pulled into a mystery of Worldwide's true origins. This story features a primarily-lesbian cast, although there are bisexual & transgender characters. Common themes in this character-based novel include emotional growth, loneliness and what it drives people to do, how memory alters perception, human selfishness, power and how it is wielded. If you are tired of self-insert harem isekai and want a mature story where realistic characters go through deep psychological drama (in-between murdering the absolute shit out of criminals), then Urasaria is for you. I also promise that the story is accepting of lesbians, bisexuals, and trans people. You will not be stereotyped or fetishized. If you would like to read other disclaimers for this work, continue on below. While this is an LGBT+ story, it does not feature: • Coming out: All female students are already assumed lesbians (although a few are bi). • Excess homo/bi/transphobia: Villains may use slurs, but hero students are generally accepting. • Gay burying: There are a few secondary characters who die, but couples are safe. • Grimdark: My approach to writing is that art should depict reality in its full spectrum of human emotion: laughter, anger, absurdity, seriousness, frustration, sadness, grief, and joy. What is silly should be treated sillily and what is serious should be treated seriously. What this work does feature: • Ultraviolence: Expect decapitations, ripping heads off, filling enemy's throats with scissors and snapping men as one snaps a wishbone. • Untagged 'dark' subjects: Please note that there are characters with backstories involving trauma, abuse, or addiction. I do not intentionally provoke negative emotions in readers nor attempt to shock with trauma -- I am just trying to faithfully render all contours of an inner emotional landscape. • I do not always agree with my characters & my characters do not always agree with me: I really shouldn't have to say this, but a character spouting an opinion does not equal me agreeing with their opinion. Read critically; sometimes, a character may be intentionally inconsistent or hypocritical to make a larger point about their character.

Ajax wasn’t any average Joe Doe. Age 7, a prodigy in his school, reaching immense heights. At least, that was in everyone else’s eyes. Ajax, the Headless Demon in the crime world, eliminated his final enemy to mark his 1,300th kill for his 13th birthday. Yet, on his 13th birthday, the “kind Ajax who helped so many” died, literally. Thousands of children worldwide died at the same time. Amidst the horror of the others, these children were brought to another world where they were stuck in the same city, except it was in ruins. All of these missing children were given a system that allowed them to get stronger the more they followed its rules. Bloody deaths, gruesome and horrifying scenes, and the hope that a better day will come. That hope will disappear as Ajax stands in front of them, in a pool of blood. As they look up at him in fear, he looks down at them in delight. “A lump of exp came right to my front door!” —- Also, no romance or harem. I don’t own the picture. Owner or otherwise, let me know if you’d like it taken down.

(Note: This isn't really a sypnosis, it's a prototype chapter) Hector Oda, the undisputed Lord of Crime has found himself cornered by a bunch of spandex wearing super powered allies of hypocritical justice. "Surrender now! You heinous monster in human skin! It's over, your years of terror are over!" But the man in question only smirked, his body calmed, nearly making people think he is surrendering but– This was the Lord of Crime himself. "My years of terror are over? Heh, it does pain me to know that my years of perfect artistry is bound to be over..." He paused, placing a palm over his face with a disappointed sigh. "Artistry? You call your vile actions of massacre and terrorism ART?! Y-You! It's over! I'll make sure you spend your days in hell!" But as the heroes stepped forward, the Lord of Crime laughed– a perfect evil laugh– starting from a deep silent chuckle, all the way to a nearly high pitch sound of psychotic laugh. "Oh, dear, whoever said that it'll be bound to be over...now?" As if on cue, or actually, maybe it is on cue, one of the heroes transformed his arms into a blade of light and promptly killed the hero in the front. "W-Wha-?!" In only a few seconds, what was before a proud and just hero, is now a headless corpse. He looked towards the 2 remaining hero, a teenage girl hero and a old muscular man. "So? Would you guys be willing to perhaps join me?" The teenage girl flew in the air, palms out as she readied a telekinetic wave to blast Hector away. "You shouldn't be doing that, if I were you" "W-What makes you think I'll bend over to a villain like you!" He gave a friendly smile at that and made a gesture to the traitor hero, the traitor hero gave him a phone and he tapped a bit, the ring resounded and the teenage girl was slowly losing her patience. "What is this about? What do you mean! Tell me!" Hector didn't answer and just held out the answered phone to her. "Boss, we're here right now at the house of the hero you were talking about, what should we do next?" "Have some "fun" if I don't say anything within a minute" The teenage girl was visibly confused but it seems her patience ran out, she gathered power unto her palms and prepared to sent it to Hector, the traitor hero also went to block. "Lilith Amery, lives is a mansion within the borders of H city along with her sister, mother and some aunties, the mansion is protected by some highly trained unit I couldn't care less about and your friends, normal ones, are currently staying for a sleepover" The teenage girl, shuddered at the specific information Hector gave out. "You have 46 seconds to shoot that Mr over there instead and you'll have a home with no trauma to come back to" "Y-You devil! My sister in only 12 years old you fucki-" "Oh? She says the sister is young, you going to spare her?" "It's up to you boss!" But suddenly, without even his need to remind her that she only has 37 more seconds, the teenage girl hero shot the telekinetic wave at the old muscular hero who was silent from the beginning because he had a blade in his throat. "Release them!" The teenage girl bellowed, shaking at the paste corpse that was her fellow comrade just a few seconds ago, tears started coming from her. "RELEASE THEM YOU DEVIL!" "Release them she says" "Roger boss" And with that, the teenage girl rushed off, flying towards her home. "Well, I didn't need to tell her that her family was being held by ropes on top of their mansion's roof now do I?" "Neither do I need to tell her that releasing them might kill them too" Hector went silent for a bit, dazing at the direction of the teenage girl hero's house. "Boss! The bomb has been planted, when should we boom it?" "Boom it when she arrives and cries" With that, I stretched my arms and walked away from the building. Not long after, an– silenced because of the distance– explosion could be heard. "Welp, at least they had their "fun" before death, no?" Lord of Crime, Hector Oda.
