He's been skipping classes, hasn't been to work in days and isn't responding to his friend's urgent text messages. For someone who loves his mundane routine, like Xander, this behavior is significantly out of character. But when you're inducted into a death game against your will, attending your business class suddenly becomes low priority, especially when your professor and former classmates have turned into nothing but creepy shadows walking around.
Kissing his much loved routine goodbye, Xander follows a guy who had just frozen an old man in time, then chopped him in two. Will he get chopped too? Or will he manage to survive long enough to exit this new reality where throwing fireballs, summoning swords out of thin air and making ordinary objects explode are commonplace?

To Survive A Harem System - Lucas Owens' Edition
An AU fanfic of My Daily Life With A Monster Harem by UnknownFate25. Lucas Owens is a curious case. He certainly looked average: He goes to school, has a nice family, a few good friends. Although he was a bit less social than most, he was mostly normal. Except for his tendency to imitate a few characters from media and games he likes... He's just the average guy you would barely notice in a classroom other than when he is near his group. It all changed when he wakes up to the [Harem System]. He is thrown head first into a new world: The world of the Supernatural. It surely didn't help that this system strongly favored Monster Girls! How is Lucas supposed to survive with many monster girls after him!? Can he even handle the new attention brought on by this [System]? This journey will be littered with many trials to overcome. Paths intertwined, the red threads have been connected... The Wheel of Fate is Turning! Heaven or Hell? Let us begin! This parody is primarily concentrated in approaching the combat and adding a lot of references to what I, SoulDipper, have an interest to. Including, but not limited to, fighting games (Guilty Gear and BlazBlue in particular) and whatever I can get my gremlin hands on post-production of this parody. This story is set in an alternative "timeline" with slight changes here and there but having same ideas and locations. Furthermore, romance is not going to be the main focus in this parody. If anything, this might be considered as an anti-romance in my very "capable" hands.

------------- "Why're you staring at me?" I ask teasingly. I hear him letting out a breath, of embarrassment or guilt I don't know. "I may have unintentionally hurt you, on several occasions. I may have done the wrong thing more than once. But despite all of that I still like you, hell if I know I might love you. I've never felt the way I feel about you for anyone else before. I can't stop thinking about you. Your laugh, your smile, your voice. How you manage to pull a joke at a time like this, to how peaceful, and beautiful you look when you're sleeping." I smile.

Decades after modified radiation bombs decimated the earth, the survivors of New Australia live in fractured Zones-regions ruled by scarcity, controlled by gangs, and governed by fear.

By night, she's Viper-a deadly ghost in the underworld, wanted for assassination. Vi has only one goal: escape Lake Darling and disappear. For good this time.
