What happens to someone who has lost everything? What becomes of a man who lost his family and was denied justice by those in power? “The law failed me, so I will become my own justice.” Those words marked the beginning of Francis’s vigilante life.

Ki’s life turns upside down when she awakens in a fantastical world teeming with magic, mythical creatures, and ancient secrets. With no clue how she got there or why, she somehow joins forces with Demeter, a temperamental goddess with a sweet tooth. Together, they journey through lush forests, forgotten ruins, and vibrant cities in search of answers. But as Ki unravels the mysteries of this enchanting world, she begins to question the truth of her own past. Beneath the enchanting beauty of this world lies a web of dark secrets, and Ki may be more connected to them than she realizes. Is this just a whimsical journey, or is there a deeper, more sinister truth waiting to be uncovered?

Twenty-six-year-old Seren Adaeze maps things that don't exist. Not metaphorically. Literally. Since childhood she has been able to see and draw places that haven't been discovered yet rooms inside sealed buildings, corridors beneath the ocean, islands that appear on no chart but hers. She has never told anyone. She takes the visions, renders them in extraordinary detail, sells them as "abstract art," and calls it a living. Then one of her paintings sells at auction for two million euros to a buyer who remains anonymous. Then another. Then another. Then the buyer shows up in person. Lucian Veyne is thirty-five, the reclusive chairman of Veyne Industries a global empire built on deep-sea technology, rare earth mining, and an unnerving pattern of knowing exactly where to dig. He is coldly beautiful, unsettlingly quiet, and looking at Seren like she is a problem he has spent ten years trying to solve. "You painted my island," he tells her. "A place no living person has ever seen. I need to know how." Seren doesn't have an answer. But she has a feeling deep and electric and dangerous that Lucian Veyne isn't entirely surprised by what she can do. That he's been searching for someone exactly like her. And that the island she painted, the one that supposedly doesn't exist, has something inside it that both of them were always meant to find. What follows is a mystery that goes deeper than either of them planned a centuries-old enchantment, a family curse that has hollowed out every Veyne heir before Lucian reached forty, a map that can only be completed by two people together, and a love story that was written into the architecture of the world long before they were born. The magic is real. The danger is real. And Lucian Veyne, for all his billions and his silence and his careful untouchable control, is falling in love with the woman who sees what no one else can which is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to him.

Destined to save the world or destroy it! Sora's just a bullied orphan with no friends, living a regular life with foster parents who expect too much of him. Sure, he gets into a prestigious university, but what's the point? After nearly dying saving 14 children from his childhood Orphanage, the gods overhear Sora's nurse's prayers and Chronos, the god of time, comes to meet Sora. Who wouldn't want a second chance at life? Transmigrate to 7429 to the planet of Exteria, as a half Uthra (divine being), or die in 15 years from now after living a meaningless life of bedrest, even after living as a hero. Unable to say no to the deal, follow Sora on his adventures to save (or destroy) the world as he forms a party, filled with all different types of beings, meets friends, potentially falls in love, all while trying to level up and gain enough experience to unlock his true abilities: The abilities of his eyes. One Amethyst, one Aquamarine, a gift of Chronos, beautiful, perfect... with one major flaw... he doesn't know how or when they'll unlock. As a member of the King's council, Sora finds himself at the front row or a brewing war between the demons (and some unexpected allies), with tales of a hidden Elven sanctuary, legends of lost Chimera, even potentially the last of the dragons? Only time will tell! Come meet Sora and his friends and follow his story. After all, even though he starts out with SSS abilities, doesn't mean he isn't lost in a new world after being lost in his own life. Apologies to those who were currently reading. I did a major re-work and went back and made it a third person, 13+ book (violence, language, some blood and gore)

Ren Hanaki was out milking his cows when he and his entire farm got displaced into another world. Not only is he in a strange one, but also there's this voice in his head, and a gamified tab that holds his stats and hands out quests. Apparently he was summoned by the last effort of a mage to summon a grand demon, appearing in its stead.  [You have been summoned by a Mage, rejoice you'll be useful]   [You are bound.]   [The mage who summoned you has died a horrific death, you are now a free man once again.]    His freedom was nothing but an illusion as the interest of gods play out. What chaos would a man unbound by the threads of fate stir? One thing was certain, Ren was far from a mere pawn.

Year 1540 Nicole is a lowly human from the mainland trying to make ends meet as she would often paint for middle and high-class people sometimes even Purebloods which was rare in her case. She receives little money which doesn’t financially support her living. Until one day she received an invitation from the Snow Kingdom to paint the great Lord Jasper Gervassius. She reaches the kingdom and Meets Lord Jasper in the hopes of making a big income she receives more than what she bargains for. ---------------------------------- Teaser: Jasper placed both of his hands on either side of Nicole's head trapping her with his body. He stared down at her looking at his sweet innocent lamb, he couldn't help but smile at her widely. Her doe-like eyes staring back at him only made him want to devour her "Why do you play these games with me darling you know I don't like it. I think you forgot who you're dealing with." He leaned down against her lips slightly flicking his tongue in her mouth making her crave for more."My Quahneah Woman" Nicole gasped in shock as she wondered how he knew her tribe's name. Before she could say another Jasper had cupped her cheek softly placing his lips on hers and kissing her softly as he slowly removed his hands against the wall. He was wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her body closer to his as there was no space between them. As they continued Nicole started to become breathless pulling herself back to breathe, she couldn't help but look up to see Jasper looking at her with a smile that was Duchenne. His purple orbs looked into her seeing the love and adorn affection he was showing her.  "Jasper I have a question to ask you" Jasper hummed waiting for her question" What are we going to do about the tirade ." Jasper's smile suddenly became sinister as he narrowed his eyes "Why don't you leave that to me, darling."

A project manager's soul finds a new home in the rough-hewn body of a local Schitt's Creek handyman, trading corporate spreadsheets for a wrench and a fractured reflection. Transmigrated into a town defined by its eccentricities and the fallen Rose family, he discovers he is a Community Growth Catalyst—a biological anomaly capable of hyper-accelerated skill acquisition and the creation of subconscious learning networks. Every pipe he fixes and every conversation he navigates feeds a supernatural "sticky" memory that allows him to master any life skill in weeks rather than years. In a place where the motel sign is broken and the people are even more so, he isn't just fixing buildings; he's quietly upgrading the human potential of every person he touches. It turns out that a little bit of authentic connection and a lot of accelerated mastery can turn a dead-end town into an empire of self-improvement.

#WSA2026 Reji was a nobody. An eighteen-year-old buried under rejection emails, mocked for the “trash” novels no one wanted to read, and starving both for success and, quite literally, his next meal. That night, he went to sleep on an empty stomach… and when he woke up- “Where in the world am I..?” People flew through the sky and casually casting spells around them doing it as if it were second nature. And him? a failure from another world… standing in the middle of it. Before panic could settle, a translucent screen shattered his reality.

In a world where people awaken legendary beings upon turning 18— dragons capable of destroying mountains, phoenixes that set the skies ablaze, divine beasts that alter reality— Alex Carter awakened… Death. A small skeletal figure. A toy scythe. F-rank. Expelled from Celestial Academy and turned into the kingdom's laughingstock, his destiny seemed sealed. But ranks can lie. What Alex summoned was not a weak creature… but a sealed fragment of the true Grim Reaper—an existence so terrifying that even the gods joined forces to imprison it a thousand years ago. Seven fragments. Seven bearers. Seven paths to the end. While others train their companions… Alex can do the impossible. Evolve Death itself. Every corpse becomes a soldier. Every battlefield, his domain. Every soul… power. And as more fragments awaken— the world will understand, too late that what they scorned… was the beginning of something far worse than death.

Leo was always a kind-hearted man, ready to lend a hand to anyone in need. Yet, life seemed unfairly harsh, and fortune never once smiled upon him. A terminal bout of cancer eventually left him bedridden; more bitterly, those he had once helped turned their backs on him, leaving him to wither away in solitude. In his final moments, a deity took pity on Leo’s soul and granted him the chance to be reborn in a completely new world. He awoke in the form of a Half-Dragon—a creature blending the powerful bloodline of dragons with the essence of humanity—possessing a set of ultimate SSSS-rank skills. Standing at the pinnacle of power, will Leo hold onto the kindness of his past life, or will the crushing disappointments of his previous existence transform him into a cold-blooded ruler, turning his back on the virtues he once held dear?

This is a collection of finished short stories ranging across many genres. Volume 01 consists of polished (touched-up spelling and grammar) versions of my novis works I made while still in elementary, middle, and high school. Volume 000 (the Auxiliary Volume) contains the original works from Volume 01 as they were when I wrote them,* and Volume 02 is all of my no-vice works after school. *Don't bother reading the Auxiliary Volume unless you really want to. As of updating this description (04/08/26), I am still tracking down the dates of when I wrote these pieces, as I didn't have the foresight to put the dates on the documents themselves. (My real name, as it appears in the original texts, is replaced with "Final," "Sees," or "Final Sees") (Jul 19, 2018, is the earliest date I have for most of my novis stories, though they were definitely not all written on the same day.)

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and powerful magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolves stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. As they fight to clear their names and face an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Black Wolves, ironically, become the Valley’s last line of defense. And everyone's last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets JJK meets Final Fantasy meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice, mild sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N.

A ruthless Yakuza reincarnates in a fantasy world with a Gamer System… and immediately starts breaking the rules. Ryuji Kuroda was many things. A Yakuza enforcer. A violent problem-solver. A man who once made grown gangsters cry. But a hero? Hell no. Yet the day he saved an old woman’s life… Truck-kun decided it was his time to die instead. Now he’s been thrown into a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and arrogant adventurers. There’s just one small problem. He didn’t receive magic. He received something far more dangerous. A Gamer System. Level up. Complete quests. Buy anything from the System Shop. Need a weapon? Search. Need poison antidote? Search. Need a way to kill a dragon? …Search. And while the world struggles with swords and spells, Ryuji is playing by video game rules. With a sarcastic fairy goddess watching his every move, a system that might break the laws of reality, and monsters that keep dropping loot… Ryuji has only one conclusion. "If this world wants to act like a game…" He cracked his knuckles. "Then I’m gonna beat the final boss." [Find me on Instagram - @authorzima]

The Story of Your End was not just a game. Not to him. Thousands of hours — every arc, every hidden lore, every system he could exploit, every character down to the small decisions that never made it into any wiki. And the one arc no one could ever play — Academy of Endstoria, the arc that only existed as a tie-in novel so dense even most of the fandom never finished it — he read three times. Two sources. Thousands of hours. More complete knowledge of this world than anyone who had ever touched it. Then the door opened, and he went in. Not as the protagonist. Not as anyone important. As an extra, a variable that was never supposed to exist in this story. With everything he knew, the plan was simple: observe, don't interfere, let the story run its course. That plan lasted one day.
