Most people would leap at the opportunity to be competent, to be useful, to be powerful or smart. Most people are idiots with no concept of the pressures and pitfalls of society thrust upon those with 'gifts' of any kind. Irene has always had some sort of Competence, be it in studies or in athletics, but she refuses to call it a 'gift', no matter how others see it; having the power to alter society in any meaningful way is precious, yes, but it is a burden before it is a boon.

To be sent to a new world, a new society, and *still* be burdened with Overwhelming Competence... to her this is nothing more than a Curse.All Rights Reserved

Ash and Fire by MEW291

*Currently being heavily edited* Chapters 1-4 are edited as previews. Marked with * When Lydia's life is threatened, she seeks guidance from those who saved her in a world she doesn't know. Not one to leave something solely to people she didn't fully trust, she took the initiative to find the information herself. It was harder than she thought when paper trails and computers didn't exist. The information seemed to be tight-lipped by the Nobles and never went further down the chain. Running into more trouble than she realized, she opened more than her trust when she took a leap of faith and let someone else into her small world. There was more to him than he told her, but she dived head-first into trusting him. Around every twist and turn with no answers, she didn't see the dangers that lurked behind her by letting someone in before it put her and everyone she knew in © 2023 M.E.Watson

A Whole Different Life (Book I) by TheBluester

"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems! Warning(s): This book may contain descriptions of torture of a slightly graphic nature, sexual innuendos, mentions of rape in a chapter and possibly some graphic death scenes!

The Villainess Will Not Bring Dishonor To Her Family by Bleezei

Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!

Actually there were 8 by RedSnow1997

Stronger than 1 but she doesn't turn into a giant monkey. She has better accuracy than 2.... Somehow.... But her weapon of choice would've bee a bow and arrow. She has 3's same power but she doesn't like to use it except to get what she wants and her sister's doesn't work on her. She can transform like 6 could. She can see him like 4. The only other one that can. He was always afraid of his power drowns it out by getting high. But they were kind of her only friends minus her brother and their more dangerous sister. 5 and her liked to race each other the only difference is, is that as smart as he is she's a better jumper. But she has the most in common with 7. They're both seen as too dangerous and her powers like her sister's are awaken and work because of their emotions. She's more dangerous though because she can mirror her siblings powers. She trained herself her dad never cared about her. He always cared about his non biological children more. And he only cared enough about them to train them but he didn't care about any of them. She was born the same day they were and the same age. She wasn't born the same way though. It was more like a science experiment. He gave a serum to get the one person he trusted to have her and made it timed to the day. Maybe that's why she has their same powers or why she's more dangerous. The only thing that ever worked on her was.... I'll tell you later. But none of them remember she has powers.

Pretty, The Ninth Transmigrator and the Eight Impenetrable Kingdoms by BoriCats

Pretty was one of the ace officers of a powerful secret organization on Earth who had abilities to control their Rentom or a person's souls. Betrayed by her own uncle, she was sacrificed in a ceremony to take her abilities. Just when she was about to be killed she was taken accidentally by a mysterious force and transported her soul in a different world she once read in a book. There were supposed to be only eight people to be transmigrated to replace the eight vacant bodies of eight major characters in the book. But a ninth one was accidentally added in error. Pretty, who was clueless to know that she was not the only one transmigrated, decided to only wait for her new world to be better by the protagonist of the book, a lost princess destined to be the ruler of the kingdom, and the lackeys that helped her. Not knowing eight other people had already replaced the souls of these characters. Pretty knew what happened in the book, so she decided to find a corner and stay there. But the future that the book told was different from what she's experiencing now. The world of Sologea was on the verge of an apocalypse. Organization and monsters, both creatures and humans, not mentioned in the book started appearing and the legend of Eight Impenetrable Kingdoms was jump started for a reason unlike in the book. Now, she had a world to save but the other eight transmigrators thought they were god's chosen and decided to take the future in their own hand causing more apocalypse and problems. She just wanted to live peacefully. But a greater conspiracy and legend awaits her and if she couldn't help it, god forbid, she wants nothing of it.
