| 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.

Traversing Through Beastmen World by ElectraEmerose
25 parts Ongoing Mature
Bree was a modern girl reborn into the world of shifters, as a bunny. This was obviously a cruel joke since she had died in her previous life by being mauled. In this new world, females were few due to the warlike environment. The different clans would constantly fight over land and resources. Females were considered the most valuable resource. If females refused to find at least two mates by the time they matured, they would be sold. You didn't want to be sold. Sold females were considered property and would get a mark of slavery on them. Because females were so expensive, they were usually bought by whole communities to be shared by unmated males. The mark of slavery prevented them from contracting a mate and therefor accumulating power and territory. You needed to create a strong home by contracting with powerful shifters. After contracting, they would receive your mark and become your champion. They would fight for your honor, use their magic ability for your benefit, and provide for you. In return, you were expected to produce eggs. Males could be the leader of a clan, but a female could take over large territories by contracting the strong clan leaders. After expanding her territory, a female would be considered nobility. The stronger their champions, the better their resources and territory. Larger area's typically had one queen female and her court made up of nobility. Every double full moon, they would fight for the honor to have their female enter the queen's court. At the end of the queen's reign, she could choose a new queen from her court. In the midst of all this, Bree discovered her own magic power, 'Otome Gamer.' While Bree is trying to fulfill her quests, and an ultimate goal that would change everything, a frightening darkness is spreading, and shifters start to disappear. Along her journey, Bree makes friends and discovers that fated mates actually exist. Please don't copy or steal my story or ideas. Thanks 🥰
Seison't: How the VTuber Fuckfest did I end up here? (A PMC / VTuber Fanfic) by JosephShinano
3 parts Complete Mature
Once upon a time on a planet known as Earth, we can see someone in an apartment building in a place called Ohio, USA, rolling on his bed, thinking the trillion-dollar question: "Ugh, another day of boredom. Just how much do I need to do to entertain myself? THERE'S NOTHING INTERESTING HERE!" Joseph Shinano, a former PMC commander, decided to take up streaming after a series of unfortunate 'mishaps', involving his head, a .30-06 bullet, and a funny masked man in the Middle East. Due to his injuries sustained during his time with a PMC, he opted to be an independent VTuber, who would do things at his own speed and style after learning about the concept from an unlikely conversation. Despite a shaky start, he amassed an impressive subscriber count, enough to be widely considered one of, if not, THE most subscribed VTuber. Throughout his streaming career, he would face challenges, such as the stresses of streaming, fangirls who want to fantasize about him, surviving the challenges of VTubing, and learning that the industry is no friend to the concept of a normal life. Here lies the journey of Joseph "Yamashi" Shinano, the ex-PMC contractor turned the seison't VTuber of all time. "...sometimes, I wonder if joining was a great idea. Moreso, am I ready to lose my life for them all, and their smiles?" ======================================= I do not own any of the photos/videos used in this book unless explicitly stated (Duh...) - Hololive is its own entity - NijiSangi is its own entity - Other VTuber corpos/indies are their own entity - War Robots: Frontiers is owned by Pixonic - Roblox is owned by Roblox Corporations - SAS 4 is owned by NinjaKiwi Also, cover is a filler until I make a proper book cover. Until then, the badly drawn cover will make do. [NOTE]: THIS IS ON HOLD UNTIL MY FIRST FANFIC, COLLISIONS, IS FINISHED! SO STOP OWIFUCKSQWUUD
