    What if the life you always dreamed of was only a step away- but to claim it, you'd have to give up your own? When ordinary people across the modern world begin to wake up in strange new bodies-mages, warriors, queens, rebels, and scholars-they discover a secret: lives can be borrowed. Each night, they cross into worlds that aren't theirs, living destinies they were never meant to hold. For Arjun, a weary student drowning under expectations, it is the intoxicating power of magic. For Maya, a struggling mother, it is the reverence of a royal court. For Kenji, a broken recluse, it is the strength of a legendary knight. For Selene, a brilliant lawyer, it is the desperate trust of rebels in a dying land. And for Dante, haunted by war, it is the gentle peace of a scholar's life. But every borrowed moment has a cost. The more they live in these other worlds, the more their real lives unravel-jobs, families, and identities slipping away. Worse still, their choices ripple across the fabric of realities, binding them together in ways none of them understand. Now, as the fractures between worlds widen, each must face the ultimate question: Which life will they choose to keep... and which will they let die? Isekai: The Borrowed Life is a sweeping, character-driven fantasy of desire, identity, and sacrifice-where every escape comes with a price, and no choice is without consequence.

    Salt, vinegar, everything sinister, a signal, a mad scientist and three marginals. That is all it takes to make villains. In a world shattered from the inside, where everyone seems to be under the control of the signal Tower and escape the reality, Berserk, Brat and Brute try to find their own way, dealing with their fights and their goals. Because a person is whole universe. Tw: childhood traumas, eating disorders, mutilation... (If you want to understand the lore go read The PowerPuff Girls, not really necessary, but can be useful) The characters don't belong to me, but to Craig McCracken neither the cover (IG: Racketballs). The world building is inspired from Little nightmares. I apologize in advance for the mistakes and grammatical errors. I'm not an English speaker.

    Needle has always felt ignored and left out in the BFDI universe; she was constantly mistreated, ignored, abandoned, and even tortured. Because of this, she almost attempted suicide by hanging herself, until Pencil stopped her. Regardless, she was desperate to find a way out. She suddenly escaped and entered to the real world. The other contestants tried to look for her, to no avail. She meets her creators (Cary and Michael Huang) and gets in a relationship with both of them before getting married 3 years in. This is why she always wears two wedding rings instead of just one. Additionally, she changed her name to Nilli Huang so she could blend in with the human species. You might be wondering what she's doing now. As of the year 2024, she is now a songstress, an ASMR content creator, an inventor and a seamstress, and she has become very popular on each job. A few additional notes: - This is my first official fanfic. - There might be a sequel sometime in 2025. - I swear to Satan that none of this is official... - The actual fanfic on Google Docs is 68 pages long.

    Enter the tower. And forget the way down. Every floor is a story. Every story is a trap. Every trap is wrapped in beauty. The birds whisper of a ruler with wings of gold. They say he owns the sky. They say he owns their minds. But the stars are changing, and the lost wayfarers are climbing. This tale is nothing like it seems. Note: English is not my first language, I'm using AI to translate it in order to make it accessible to a wider public. Feel free to correct me on any error you may find on the matters of syntax and grammare.

    {Book 2} When falling, we learn how to fly. When a star falls, it means a wish has been granted. Some just so happen to have fallen in love while others fell to their demise. Descend to ascend once more. Let the sun, moon, and stars be our wings. An infinite light of radiance exists beyond the darkness. It isn't the dark that is bad, it's the evilness hiding within tainting its beauty. Everything which exists shines brighter amidst the night. Fight with all your might and take flight to what is right.- Mia B. Geminius, cover made by me Eleven star constellations: A fallen angel warrior 2 archangels 1 human star 7 deadly sins They need the 12th star to stop Achernar Crosswell, a contaminated star that fell who was once human, being consumed by darkness, lost all humanity turning into a demon. He wants to reign hell on earth to destroy the planet due to his hatred for humankind. Orion with his star related brother Rigel, Esther, & Cassiopeia join forces with the seven deadly sins to defeat evil. With good, there is always evil to balance this world out. Evilness doesn't always have to win if goodness overpowers. We don't need to see God to believe. God is the universe. We see, hear, and feel God all around us. As long as you have God in your heart, no evil shall ever enter, your heart, mind, & soul. When you wish on a shooting star, your wishes come true. Stars wish upon stars too. God gifts them blessings to have consciousness. (Thank you for your precious time, please pardon a few typos. I've finished editing stuff but if I overdo it, the pictures I've added may get deleted as most of the views were from me, so hope you don't mind too much)

    In 2024, the Deva Software Corporation releases the Samsara Virtual Reality Headset alongside their flagship title: The Pure Lands, a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (VRMMORPG for short). This single release promises to revolutionize gaming and the way we interact with others online. By October of that same year, Leon Cris is College graduate with no plan, no career, and overall no prospects outside of his mysterious "uncle Rick" who's bankrolled his life so far. For his twenty-second birthday, this unknown "uncle" gifts him the Samsara Headset with a note telling Leon to "Come Find Him" in a specific server on the game, a role-playing only server. Now Leon has to navigate the player-created world of the game, dozens of new influences on his life in the forms of friends, inspirations, and allies, forge connections, and meet the father he never knew, all while figuring out what he wants to do in life outside of this new game. Inspired by hit works of fiction like Hunter X Hunter, Sword Art Online, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, Black Clover, One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the works of Studio Ghibli and more, while also taking thematic inspiration from religions such as Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, "Come Find Me" is a story about living your life to the fullest and finding a family that will help you do that. As of November 11th, 2022, this story is COMPLETE.

    Evelyne was never the helpless princess in the tower, no matter how much the world tried to write her that way. Caught between the so-called hero and the feared villain, she realized that neither of them were truly good, nor were they truly evil. They were just men who wanted to control her, to shape her destiny to fit their own desires. But Evelyne was done being a pawn in their battle. She would not be saved-because she was never theirs to save. As she flees through the kingdom, hunted and betrayed, Evelyne must carve her own path, defying the roles forced upon her. Through dungeons, alleyways, and stolen moments of freedom, she refuses to be captured again. But the past is relentless, and when she is finally cornered, she faces one last choice-one final act of defiance that will decide everything. This is not a fairy tale. There is no happily ever after. But for the first time in her life, Evelyne holds the pen. And in the end, she will write her own story.

    [Book 1 of 'The Rebellion' series] The coldness within my heart was all I felt. In my lonesome, it took hold of me. That coldness was all I need...it was all I had. Memories errupted so easily, the coldness within grew quickly... Nothing compared to 'him'. Nothing could neither changed nor broke him. Nothing could ever faze him... He got away with everything, leaving his pitiful mistakes covered in dust. He ignored everything around him. He only saw what he wanted, and nothing but his own desires surrounded him. I'd looked to him, but couldn't. I'd questioned him, but shouldn't. So instead, I took all the pain and misery I was placed in.... But no more. I will not take his blows while I fall. I will not freeze over at the cost of my life. The solution? To fight back.

She has gotten by playing it safe, and resisting the urge to look back. Deep, passionate connection was always enticing, but never seemed to be worth the risk after her first taste of heartbreak. One evening, she settles into her bed to crack open a new book before she falls asleep. It was something she'd done countless times before. This daily ritual, however, would lead her into a whirlwind she can't explain with logic and never expected to find...

    Fake love describes the relationship of two people who know they don't belong together but continue anyway, knowing the destruction to follow. What happens when it's only one sided? How can someone bound to destroy you be your soulmate? So I'm writing this story to help raise awareness about black lives matter. I want to figure out a way to read to donate or write for black lives or something. This story doesn't have anything to do about Black Lives Matter specifically but I will link petitions and donations etc. BLACK LIVES SERIOUSLY MATTER!!! Still working on the description guys but enjoy the story!
