Synopsis

Life in The City was perfect. The Goddess raised us, sheltered us, and defended us from the Demon Lord and their horrifying minions that roamed the wasteland. The sacred aurora that surrounded The City was the ultimate sign of her benevolent protection, keeping us safe.

My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I’ve been treated as an outcast, a freak, and a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For the other citizens, magic was the invisible manifestation of Goddess’s love, but to me, it was just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And once I’ve seen a spell, I can understand it, and then I can break it apart.

When I graduated from school, I had expected to be given the job of a ditch-digger. Instead, I was shocked when I was dubbed the next hero.

Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It’s a suicide mission. But once I was shoved out of the aurora, I found out that the outside world was drastically different than what I had been told. The demons, dragons, and orcs might be my best shot for surviving the insanity I’ve been thrown into.

Warning: This novel contains descriptions of violence, graphic sex, unconventional relationships (M/FF+ harem), and limitless adventure.

Isekai’d Shoggoth

Cytotoxin

It begins as a usual isekai story.
No, wait. It`s worse. It's otome isekai. And I`m the villain.
Of course, there must be some kind of cheat to make up for it. It's that kind of story.
And my cheat is... being a shoggoth. Which apparently includes being a genius with setting up all sorts of production. Because "engineered to be universal labor" backstory for that race, I surmise.
So... Screw it, full steam ahead. Let's see what I can make out of this world and it's ikebana-based magic.

[VANILLA STORY]

I was a very average person.

I didn't really had any ambition or goal in my life, just doing whatever I was told to do-school, tuition, home, that's it.

I had no life outside this.

And then this life also came crashing down, when I died.

But I got a second chance, I am now in a fantasy world, where sex can be bartered for money, a free-use world, here magic and swordsmanship, rule the world.

NOTE - (1) - There will be no NTR, but our mc will be stealing girls.

(2) - No Netorase (sharing), our mc will not be sharing his women, I don't like it.

(3) - Free-Use will be there, but Mc's women are not going to participate in any of these. So don't worry about NTR. I hate NTR, so I will make sure nothing like that happens.

Do tell me what my mistakes are because this is going to be my first novel.

Starting chaps will be slow and full of mistakes, so forgive me for that, but after that, the pacing will become perfect, and about mistakes, I am trying my best. So please be patient.

A devil decided to have a "fun night" on Earth, and Harry "Potter" never got his Hogwarts letter. That didn't mean he wasn't magical though… Occasional SMUT / LEMONS

"You may now kiss the bride."

But no kiss ever came.

I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me.

Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help.

Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible.

Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way!

*Additional Tags*: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves

*Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content

*What to expect*: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot.
The plot exists but it *very slowly* becomes relevant.
Also, *slow* character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters.
Detailed environments and extensive world-building.
Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy.
Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered.
*Lots* of descriptive sex scenes, it is treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service.
A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other.
Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language.

Dragon’s Justice 2

★ 4.55

Bruce Sentar

Zach is back. Life has been good since they dispatched a rabid alpha wolf, tricked into dark power.

His hoard is growing steadily, with odd jobs working as Morgana’s partner and they’ve been hired to deal with the swamp troll migration as the trolls pass through Philly on their way to Florida for the winter.

As if he doesn’t have enough to deal with, the Order of the Magi come to town for a convention and tensions grow taut between magi and the paranormal council.

When trolls become overly aggressive and they find a magus skinwalker behind it, Zach can’t stand by. Someone has to answer to an angry dragon for attacking his new mate. Politics between the two groups be damned.

Reunion

Chase Kilgore

Not long ago, Ash learned he has a monster living inside him…

Now he’s counting down the days and preparing for the inevitable encounter when the elemental is set free. Still, Ash has a District to protect and tasks given to him by the Nightmare Queen.

One such task leads to the discovery of a strange device and a tattooed goblin who knows its secrets. As Ash and his friends work to unravel the mystery, some of those close to him experience reunions with old enemies. While sins and memories of Vas haunt District 114, the Coalition emerges from the shadows and sets its sights on Ash.

…Is it a threat or his greatest weapon?

The Alpha 7: Protect. Procreate. Prevail.

Eric Vall

The north has been silent since my pack mauled over a hundred of Theo Finch’s betas.

Too quiet.

But I’ve waited long enough. It’s time to hunt down my parents’ killer and slaughter that alpha once and for all.

Unfortunately, he seems to be one step ahead of us, and closing in on him in the middle of his enormous territory will take more planning and money than I’ve ever invested in a mission before.

Then again, now that I’m rich and only getting richer, I may as well destroy my enemies in style.
