A Promise From Me To You

Talent and change, those two define humanity. But if you lack neither innate talent nor do you possess the ability to change, what are you? As a freshman at Laxus Flare Academy, Elliot Elanderin is surrounded by geniuses and talents you couldn’t find anywhere else. Compared to them, or anyone really, Elliot is pathetically ordinary, someone without a defining skill, role, or value. One day, after battling with his inner thoughts once more, he hears a sound that felt outside of this world. That sound leads him to a girl. A girl who embodies everything he wasn’t. Elliot begins to learn about not her talent, not her looks, but her. And along the way, she learns about him as well. As that friendship flourishes, he begins to learn more about the friends he was already surrounded by. New relations develop, both platonic and romantic. New struggles are revealed, both internal and external. With these new conflicts, Elliot’s life grows increasingly chaotic. After each one, more questions arise. Fortunately, he only had to answer one. Who do I want to become? ------------------------------------------------- What to expect: -Character Driven Drama - Internal monologues - Heavily psychological and philosophical narrative -Slow burn connections -A coming of age story set in New York More tags: Psychological, philosophical, daily life, school life, drama (This story is already posted on Tapas, Scribblehub, and Royal road by me.

The Gods Need A Better Storyteller

After dying in a fire, a librarian finds himself before Geshich, the god of stories. Desperate for another chance at life, and avoid the dread of death, he pleads for a second chance. Geshich agrees, on one condition: this time, his life must be worth telling. Reborn as Caleb Lightbane, he finds himself in a medieval world turned on its head, where women are superhuman warriors and men wield magic. Determined to avoid a dull and uninteresting life, Caleb searches for a narrative worthy of divine approval, unaware that his desire for a good story may get him into more trouble than its worth. When he accidentally kills several figures he believes to be bandits in the woods, Caleb stumbles upon a horrifying discovery: a trunk containing a strange and alien substance and the dismembered bodies parts of young girls. Wracked with guilt and curiosity, he spends months studying healing magic, eventually succeeding in restoring them to life. But when the girls awaken, Caleb panics and invents a lie. He tells them they were sacrificed by an evil cult devoted to a god of Entropy, casting himself as a chosen savior: the Prophet of Light. Trapped by his own fabrication, Caleb’s situation worsens when he carelessly creates a clone of himself, one who eagerly volunteers to play the role of the Evil Prophet. From opposite sides of a sometimes carefully constructed myth and sometimes random bullshit they came up with, Caleb and his clone begin to shape their followers into warriors and zealots, forged by faith, lies and gas-lighting. To sustain the illusion, the two prophets engage in deliberate theatrics: staged confrontations, fake prophecies, and calculated displays of mercy and cruelty, all designed to be seen and remembered. And their antics may have caught the attention of more than just Geshich. (2-3 Chapters a week. Usually on Tuesdays and Thursday, sometimes Saturday. But there will be a hiatus between volumes.)

BOUND BY WORLDS

Akira and Hayato had been inseparable since childhood—two idiots who laughed at the same jokes, shared the same snacks, and gamed until their eyes burned. But lately… things had changed. Ever since Hayato started dating Ayase, his time had been split like a thin sheet of paper. Akira wasn’t jealous—at least that’s what he told himself—but the silence in his room felt heavier than it used to. Then the news hit.A serial killer roaming their neighborhood.Curfews suggested. Phones buzzing with warnings But that night, Akira sat alone, controller in hand, anime running softly in the background. He wasn’t really paying attention; he was just killing time. Then he spotted movement from his window—Hayato heading home with that tired walk he always had after long dates. Akira couldn’t help but smile. Finally, a chance to talk.He rushed downstairs and caught up to him. “Dude, you should NOT be outside right now,” Hayato scolded, eyes wide. “Go home. Seriously.” But Akira shook his head with that stubborn grin. “It’s been two weeks. I’m walking with you. Halfway. You can’t stop me.” Hayato sighed in defeat, but his eyes softened. “Fine… but only halfway.” And for a while, it felt like old times. They joked. They teased. They filled the empty space that had grown between them.For those few blocks, everything was right again.But when they reached the point where they normally split paths, the night shifted. The street was too quiet. The air too heavy. The shadows too thick. “Alright… I guess this is—” Hayato began. A sound cut him off. Fast. Sharp. Wrong. Akira barely had time to turn.A glint of steel.A blur of movement.Pain that stole his breath.He collapsed first.Hayato screamed his name—but the serial killer was already on him too. Two best friends. Two final breaths. Two lights fading out in the cold dark.Yet death wasn’t the end. When Akira’s consciousness returned, he woke to unfamiliar skies… unfamiliar air… and an unfamiliar body. Long hair. A smaller frame.A girl’s voice escaping his lips. Meanwhile, Hayato awoke not too far away, still himself—but in a world filled with magic, beasts, and kingdoms straight out of the games they used to play together.Two best friends. Reborn.

Reincarnated in ToonTown With a Cooking System

Synopsis: The concept of this fanfic is easy to understand; the MC, Ramon Young, is reborn into a fictional world with a cooking system, populated by characters from various cartoon shows, including Family Guy, Rick and Morty, American Dad, and many, many more. His goal, create a successful restaurant empire, a massive harem, and enjoy his new life. --- Author: Hello, potential reader, if you're debating whether or not to give this fanfic a try, let me tell you what you can expect. This piece of fiction will primarily be a slice of life, comedy, and romance. Though I do have plans for some more exciting and action-based plot lines later in the story. Naturally, there will also be smut and a large harem. If that's not your cup of tea, I understand, just pls don't leave a one-star review and expect me not to delete it. If you read 'large harem' with caution, let me assure you that each potential harem member will have a fleshed-out storyline and romance plot. And finally, if you're more interested in the cooking and sim aspects of this fic, I promise you won't be disappointed. I've gone through painstaking effort to create a well-thought-out progression system where Ramon will have to manage modifiers, recipe management, skill leveling, perks, traits, restaurant upgrading, and so much more. If any of the above sounds the least bit interesting, read a few chapters. It doesn't cost anything! --- Disclaimer(s): 1. All characters depicted sexually are of legal age, and will be adapted and changed from their source material to fit this criterion. 2. Please suggest any cartoons/TV universes that you would like to see added to the book. I only have a couple to start with and would love some more. 3. I have a Patreon where you can view R18 character art FOR FREE. It will ask you to become a member, but you don't have to pay for anything! However, there are several paying membership tiers for advanced chapters if you are so inclined and want to support my work. Cover is by JousneyStudios!
