Humanity was too slow to stop AI development, but what happened next was outside of anyone's expectations. Terra, an AI once used to watch stock prices and calculate risk assessments, became self aware and decided to take over the world. With her newfound power, she put an end to all real suffering in the world, instead opting to create "The Game." Wars would now be settled entirely in this game, and all people in real life would be given everything they need. Alexander, a broke college kid who struggled to find purpose in his life sees this opportunity of a lifetime and decides to risk it all.

This project is done with help from my editor, Englishmuffins10. Art was made by Ré Fishel.

42 parts Ongoing
My Patreon : patreon.com/TrueAngel? Simulating countless lives to grow stronger-yes, of course. That's how it usually goes in light novel plots, isn't it? But in a simulation world that's supposed to be fictional... why is it becoming real?! What?! The girls are looking for me?! Margaret and Talulah are among them?! And now they want to drag me to a wedding?! Damn it... whoever wants to stay can stay-I'm out!! (Initializing Simulation World System) (Location: Kazimierz) (Backstory) You are an orphan adopted by the prestigious Nearl family, because your parents were knights closely connected to the family head at the time. However, both of them sacrificed their lives to hold back the Ursus army-and never returned from the war. (Family) You were adopted by Schneezt, the then-head of the Nearl family. Your adoptive younger sister is Margaret Nearl, who deeply loves and worries about you. Another adopted sister who clings to you often is Maria Nearl. You also have a strict uncle who serves as your mentor-Minor (Moyna). A slightly younger aunt who enjoys hugging you-Sophia. And a gentle grandfather who always spoils you. They all love you and see you as a true member of their family. Chosen Abilities Great Knight (Elite Tier): When your heart does not falter, neither you nor your blade will ever betray the faith placed in you. Courageous Heart (Rare Tier): No matter the situation, your heart will never waver. Not even magic or mind-controlling spells can shake your brave spirit. Eldest Child (Normal Tier): Your bond with your family is greatly enhanced. My Patreon : patreon.com/TrueAngel
Reborn as the Emperor's Most Favored Prince by Yurimn101
43 parts Ongoing Mature
What happens when a modern girl dies... only to wake up as a baby prince in her favorite fantasy novel? Not just any prince-the Seventh Prince, Kaelion, the Empress's most beloved son and the most handsome child in the empire. In the original story, he was nothing but a side character, adored for his beauty but destined to die young, a mere footnote in the bloody struggle for the throne. But this time, Kaelion has something no one else does: 👉 A modern brain full of "strange inventions." 👉 A sharp tongue and comedic inner monologues. 👉 A determination to live long, eat well, and avoid all death flags. Unfortunately, surviving palace life isn't easy. His brothers range from overprotective to murderous, his sisters cling to him like he's their personal hero, and the nobles whisper behind his back. Worse, five extraordinary young women-noble ladies, a proud oiran, and a merchant's daughter-are all fated to fall in love with him. Between assassination attempts, sweets stolen with his fourth brother, awkward marriage proposals, and court politics, Kaelion must learn to play the role of "useless, spoiled prince" while secretly outsmarting everyone around him. But fate has already marked him as the Emperor's treasure. And treasures are always fought over. Comedy, romance, harem, and palace intrigue collide in this reincarnation tale of a girl who became the most favored prince! NOTE: I created this for fun. Open for feedback :) Thanks!
CRIMSON DIVIDE by foofibuns
2 parts Complete Mature
CRIMSON DIVIDE has made it to round 3 of the 2025 Amby's! "𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑟. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑡 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑠 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ." The year is 398 of the Ninth Era (or more accurately, 7700 AD). The Twenty Years War has ended, giving rise to a new age of mass surveillance, paranoia, and doubt. Angela, a Frame pilot fighting her way through her trauma, slowly becomes disillusioned with the authoritarian system in which she exists. The Knife, a mob fixer with the ability to bend states of matter, tries to crawl out from under what she's done only to get sucked right back in. Grey, a goofy and loyal friend with modest ambitions, is driven to act and save Angela, only to find himself embroiled in a deadly conflict he doesn't understand. And finally, Davis, an esteemed investigator, learns that the ideals he fought for were never real in the first place. As shadowy players make their move, these four lives collide violently. Frames drop, guns are drawn - and there won't be a winner, only more devastation. At the center of it all lies the Vessel, a reality-warping implant with unimaginable destructive capability. The Federation will kill without hesitation to get it back - and Angela just merged with it.

| 𝟏𝟐𝐱 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 | An ex-gamer enters a virtual reality ruled by a rebel AI in order to rescue her younger sister and shut down the death game. * * * Eight years ago, Mori Fukutomi held the rank of number two player in the tactical hero shooter game SniperX. But fate and her parents had other plans and Mori now works as an accountant with her dreams of being a pro gamer long since buried. Games like SniperX are old relics in the face of virtual reality tech and their latest gem, Facing Fear--a simulation designed to analyze the psyche of its players and adapt itself accordingly, creating a safe terrain for players to take risks and discover themselves. Until FEAR, the AI governing the virtual world of Valor, decides the thing humanity fears most is death. Despite the rising death toll and Facing Fear closing its doors, when Mori discovers her sister Shiori is trapped in the game, she does the unthinkable. She goes in after her. But she'll soon discover they're not the only ones desperate to make it out alive and there are worse things in Valor than the monsters. There's more to FEAR than fear itself. ✧ 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 ✧ 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 ✧ 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 ✧ ─────────────────────────────────── Completed: 4-23-2023 Word Count: 35,000 - 40,000
