Come one, come all, to the most realistic freak show ever shown to man!
Watch as they make water out of thin air, using just their minds!
Or would you like to see the one who can extinguish flames with nothing?
Perhaps the one who can transform into any animal?
Or even the one who can fly?
Welcome to the show.
--------------------------
The Attractions are special.
They have superhuman powers known to some as magic.
The downside is the show's restrictions.
"Only use your talents in the show."
"Obey everything the Showmaster says."
"You're too weak to do anything, so don't even try rebelling."
They've followed the rules their whole life.
What happens when a group decides not to listen?
When they decide that the show is unfair?
When they realize that they're stronger?
How will they survive outside of everything they've ever known?

Morph [EDITING] || Wattys 2017 Winner
"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people. She enjoys a comfortable life, protected from any threats against her. But when Amelie develops an ability without warning, she must try to keep it hidden from her family, her friends, and above all her father. Can she keep a secret? Will she use her powers to help the rebel organisation that has approached her? And what secrets are the people around her hiding?

The Chain of Command
If you ever saw something that you were sure you imagined or heard a sound that no one else did - then you know what it's like to attend a show starring the Novaks. "A magical act so spectacular, it had to be real." An oh so common statement after the Novaks perform. But what if I told you the magic was real? There were no wires, smoke or mirrors... Would you believe me? What if I told you the Novaks weren't a friendly family of magicians, but rather the descendants of the most notorious tribe of criminal sorcerers the underworld has ever seen? Take a trip with the Novaks to the parts of your planet you didn't know existed. Sit in the backseat as they ride through carnage, fight for their freedom, go face to face with their maker and most of all.... 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬.Complete

Reborn as a Dragon!?
Sora, a guy who was reading up on "That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime", had not been paying attention when he got struck by a moving truck. He was taking his final breaths and he said to himself "wouldn't it be cool if I was in one of those isekai things? I mean, I just got hit by a truck. I would love to have some cool powers and be able to live how I wanted to live. I guess dragons are pretty cool and they can do whatever they want, but it would kinda suck to be a slime though". After everything went black, he thought it was strange since he could move around, except he was trapped in a circular object. "Why can't I get out? Why do I feel lighter? and why do I have claws as hands!" ------------------------------- Discord: QPUjVuVmXZ ------------------------------- I do not own any of the pictures ------------------------------- Achievements ------------------------------- On 10/6/19 This LN is #1 in Overpowered!

Airie
Since childhood, Dusan heard stories about airies - the magical creatures who could bend the rules of nature to their will. Despite looking like humans, they were enemies, abominations to be hunted and destroyed. Dusan knew those weren't just fairy tales, for he had met an airie before, and had barely survived the encounter. It had left him with more questions than answers, so when his assailant crossed his path years later, he just had to figure it out - was that airie really that bad? Was the attraction and curiosity that he evoked in Dusan just a result of some magic spell, or something else entirely? Could an airie and a human possibly get along? And, in the world of humans, could a magical creature survive without his powers? -------------------------------------------------- Dear Reader, I hope you'll enjoy this story! Let me know what you think! If you notice any errors or typos, please let me know in the comments section and I'll gladly fix them!Complete
Re:zero x Rimuru
Welcome to the World of Re:Zero x Rimuru! Thank you for joining! I hope you enjoy the story. To all the amazing people helping me improve, I truly appreciate it. I'm not a professional writer, but I love storytelling. There may be mistakes, so feel free to point them out so I can fix them. I tried my best to make the story understandable, but you the readers are the true judges. Of course this story contains spoilers! It has been 1M+ years, and the world has changed-just like our beloved slime. Rimuru has evolved into a being whose rage alone could erase existence itself. Tired of ruling, he decides to resign as king and explore worlds beyond Veldanava's creation. In his journey, he discovers a land filled with humans, elves, demons, and beings known as "whites." Admiring the elves, he chooses to stay there for a while. Upon entering this world, he encounters a beautiful half-elf and her companion, Puck. Will Rimuru be able to win over the elves and the girls he meets? Let's find out! DISCLAIMER! This Rimuru has a different personality-he's more playful and childish, similar to Veldora and Milim. This story also contains strong language and mature themes. (I don't own any characters or images used in this story.)Complete
ShapeShifter (Completed)
By year fifteen, every girl and boy recieve a special beast bond and power. Kids would commonly get the powers of fire, nature, air, werewolf, or vampire. Rarely, the power of water or telekinesis. Skolris got none of these... Can Skolris keep her power a secret or will she get sent away to some experiment lab? Will she be able to protect the town she loves from constant bombings? Can she find out the secret behind an organization who steals other people's beast bonds? And more importantly, can Skolris defeat a man whose greed is so strong that he consumes the powers within others and calls them his own while at the same time, protecting her loved ones and being hunted down? A/N: I have not edited this story yet so if you are someone who hates grammar mistakes, PLEASE don't read this XD. Also, i kinda wrote this a while ago and i was a little inexperienced, so also don't freak out when things don't make sense ;DComplete

A witch shows up one late after noon and offers her magic mirror, that can show her the outside world from just looking into it. She only needs to imagine the place she wants to see and will be there. The princess though was being a jerk so the witch cursed the mirror. Making it so that the princess ever looked into it, she will become a fearsome dragon. "The princess will no longer be a princess and she will see the world she desperately wants to see. Her soft skin will turn scaled. Her silk like hair will disappear and be replaced with sharp horns. She will be the monster outside as that she is inside." Whispered the witch.Complete
The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)
I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one. Anyways give me a vote y'all Started Serializing on October 9, 2022 and finished: December 28, 2022 [Volume 1]Complete
