Dean Koontz

I'm An Archer

Oliver Queen awakens to a rebirth in a fantastical world where divine blessings dictate one's destiny and societal standing. Without any supernatural powers or sacred blessings, he stands as an outcast in a society that venerates such gifts. Refusing to be marginalized, Oliver discovers an innate talent for archery, a skill that requires precision, patience, and practice rather than magic. To secure a place in a prestigious academy and a chance at a better life, he fabricates a blessing from the Moon Goddess, claiming it grants him unerring aim. His deception gains him admission, but it also sets him on a precarious path where each day is a tightrope walk between advancement and exposure. Amidst the halls of the academy, Oliver experiences the warmth of friendship, the stirrings of first love, and the comfort of belonging, feelings he had long forsaken. However, his inability to fully embrace these connections leaves him isolated, and over time, they begin to fade away like echoes in a vast canyon. When he's unexpectedly selected to represent his class in the school's annual competition, Oliver's secret teeters on the brink of revelation. The event includes a stringent blessing verification test overseen by the formidable dean, designed specifically to unmask impostors. With the walls closing in, he contemplates drastic measures to protect his secret, even as he realizes that running away may cost him the very things he's come to value. Determined to confront his challenges head-on, Oliver embarks on a journey of self-improvement and self-discovery. He resolves to rely on his own hard-earned skills and the genuine relationships he's begun to form. Along the way, he attempts to reclaim the friendships and affections he once neglected, understanding that true strength comes not from divine blessings but from within.

What Kind Of Vikings Are These?

Gone were the days when Dean Andler spent his nights studying in the Harvard Library, trying to boost his GPA. Now, he was free to do whatever he wanted, and life felt far more exciting this way. It had been five years since he dropped out of Harvard to chase novelty. Dean had always been a bright young man, a quick learner, but for some reason, he made the decision to abandon his academic path and live for himself. A foolish idea, they said. He was wasting his future—and his potential. Yet, something about being a daredevil, about embracing extreme stunts, never failed to capture his attention from the moment he first discovered it. Dean admits he had lived more in those five years of risking his life than in his previous 20. But all good things must come to an end. And an absolute end, at that. Dean Andler died on his 25th birthday, after jumping from an aircraft when his parachute failed to deploy. A pitiful end. However, it was also a new beginning. Dean finds himself transmigrated to ancient times, during the Viking Age. Here, Vikings exist in all their brutish and fierce glory, just as the history books described. Yet these Vikings are different—far beyond anything history had recorded. They possess superhuman strength, the ability to control the elements, and command the weather itself. Even the world is not what it should be: gigantic sea creatures and malevolent water spirits roam freely. The famed *Einherjar* of Valhalla are real, as are the various gods and their inheritances. As absurd as it all seems to someone from the 21st century, these phenomena are everyday realities for the stone-cold Vikings. Which leaves Dean asking himself: What kind of Vikings are these?

Arch Mage’s Stress Free Life after Reincarnation

Marduk, a retired archmage of the Intergalactic Association of Mages and Witches, has lived for a thousand years. After centuries of mastering magic, his position as the dean of the Galactic Academy of Magic has only left him frustrated and bored, dealing with hormonal students and their overbearing parents. Desperate for something new, Marduk turns to experimenting with forbidden magic—dark magic of souls and light magic of reincarnation. In a catastrophic moment, he opens a black hole and is sucked into it, finding himself reincarnated in the body of a comatose nobleman’s son, Nolan Anderson. Nolan, the fifteen-year-old heir of the powerful Duke Alpheus Anderson, had been bedridden for months, his weak soul unable to withstand the immense natural power his body possessed. When Nolan’s soul fades away, Marduk’s strong soul takes over, reviving the body but leaving the archmage in a world both familiar and alien—a world where magic and technology coexist in harmony. Now living as Nolan in a society where monarchy still reigns supreme, Marduk is free from the shackles of his former responsibilities. He has a new life, a new body, and an opportunity to experience all the joys he was denied in his previous existence. Determined to live life to the fullest, Marduk—now Nolan—embarks on a journey to make friends, find love, and use his vast magical knowledge to aid his new family, while navigating the complexities of a society that thrives on equality, technological advancement, and magical power. However, this new world holds its own challenges and secrets. As Marduk adjusts to his new life, he finds himself drawn to Nova Bright, the brilliant yet emotionally distant grandson of the Grand Duke. Their paths cross, and what starts as a chance encounter at a party becomes the beginning of a slow-burning romance that will challenge both their hearts and the world around them. In a world where magic and science blend seamlessly, Marduk must balance his desire for a carefree life with the responsibility of his newfound identity, while discovering the possibilities of love that had eluded him for so long.

GEEK GIRL QUEEN: Becoming Enchantress In a New World

“What would you do for me, Sir Grimm?” I look over the strapping soldier before me. “You are my queen,” he responds. “I will do anything for you.” A slow smile spreads my lips. “Alright then, take off your armor.” He looks at me with bright blue eyes, like he’s been waiting on this very command a long time coming. The clang of light metal echoes in the room as his chain mail falls away. He stands now in only crimson breeches and battle sandals. His eyes never leave mine for a second. “Divine,” I lift my hand to him, and my fingers settle over his broad chest, tracing a path down the battle scar over his left breast down to abs hard as bricks. My breathing quickens as I feel his heart beat right under my nails. In the former world; the world of Highschool jocks and cheerleaders, and geeks, and weirdos, this utterly beautiful man could never have been mine. I could never have had him. But in this world I do, along with as much men as I could ever want. In this new world, I am Queen and I rule and love unopposed. --- Alessandria Irene Forsythe is transmigrated on the most important day in her highschool social life; Prom Night. She wakes up in an entirely new world. A world like something from her History classes. Horses instead of cars and magic literally in the air. And then she learns she is also queen. A Queen with handmaidens and knights and servants, and this grand new world to rule. It’s a long way up from awkward highschooler. From geek girl to goddess. Best of all is when she learns her dayone and totally unattainable crush from her past life is now a knight in her royal guard. And now, she can have him—in every which way. Alessandria, now Her Royal Majesty, teams up with another unlikely adversary from her past to uncover the truth about what really happened on prom night. But in the meantime, as a wealthy empress with a rocking bod, she is eager and determined to explore her sexuality now that the lows of being a highschool nerd is in the past, first of which is Lance, the amazingly hot jock turned dashing warrior. Between fleeting moments of desire, she is torn. The right thing would be to use her power as Regent to restore the world back to its former state—even if she ends up back in highschool with huge glasses and unable to get all the hot guys. But she doesn’t want that now, does she? Afterall, no one remembers anything from before, except her, their Geek Girl Queen. DAILY UPDATES!!!
