Promised a cure for her immortality, Petra joins a quirky crew without question. She should have asked questions.
	15 years ago she lost half her body in a totally avoidable accident in her father's non-IKEA-standard lab. He used the tissue-fusing serum he created to save her, but it left her with major confidence issues, pesky immortality, and a body that's 40% raw meat. Some people have the worst luck.
	With half a face and the body of a child zombie, she eventually runs out of options. When a profiteering scientist turns up with the serum she thought her father destroyed all those years ago, she's dragged into the middle of his villainous scheme by the ragtag team assembled to stop him. Mostly. Petra's just in it for the cure they're making. 
	Get the serum, make the cure, die. It's a simple plan. But things go south on their northwestern island when she witnesses a murder.All Rights Reserved

Transmigration of Starfire: Let's Have Some Fun~ by Tennyliz

Starfire: The top assassin feared by all, with a side hobby as an anonymous hacker who no one knew about - not even the organisation she worked for. Who would have thought she was the short, always-smiling, blonde girl who seemed to have no care in life and was always just looking for fun? And yes, if you are wondering "was?" That's because she died. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [So yes, you are dead. I am a top system who helped you, and now you will be going from world to world to complete quests and-] The system was cut off from its listings as Starfire laughed. "Really?~ That sounds like a lot of fun. I accept!" She said with a grin that took the system aback. [But I didn't even...] "Mhm?" She rose a brow and the system just went silent, deciding to sulk in its mind instead. {She didn't even allow me to tell her the reward she gets after...} If it could, it would have gone to a dark corner in the space to crouch there and sulk. {I couldn't even brag about myself and how powerful I am to bring her from the dead...} ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join Starfire as she journeys on... just for fun. Oh, right, I almost forgot! The "Head" is trying to get her to attain something, and an amused stalke- spectator appeared who might be her friend or foe. Be prepared for a dash of humor, action, world-hopping, mystery, and well... fun! Trigger warning: I shouldn't have to say this, but there will be mentions of death and dark humor here as is expected in transmigration/reincarnation stories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is my original story and should not be copied. The pictures aren't mine. - Tennyliz.

THRONEFUL FRIENDSHIP by yah-rah

Friendship... It was a sweet lie... Game of trust and betrayal. So many emotions to conceal and cover. Not allowing to give up, it won't also let you survive. The story is about friendship of a group of young people who are on their way to build a shinning future. Their friendship was irreplaceable. Seven different personalities and viewpoints, but friendship brought them together. Unbreakable and ecstatic. However something is changing in their friendship. What's going on? [Two Years Later] "You changed so much! It's like I can even recognize you" "Thanks. All credits goes to you.I changed for surviving in the middle of these cruel monsters masked as sweet humans." "Are you even the girl who was my lovely friend?" "Were you even my friend?" Suddenly the person she used to love...That person, the reason why she ended up being so pitiful said,"Can you stop over reacting? It was just a misunderstanding." Overreacting? So all of her sufferings are overreacting? Bitterly looking at him, she said,"You really disgust me..I regret falling for you..It destroyed me.." *photo credit goes to it's owners*

NightCrawler✔ by SpaceBagels

"There is something wrong," I didn't realize I was staring until she turned and stared at me as well. "So you two having a staring contest?" Jacob rolled his eyes. "And yes Iris like I just said point 3 seconds ago there is something wrong. Of course there's something wrong. Why wouldn't there be something wrong?" His voice raising as I came back to earth and looked at him. "This place is bullshit and is just bullshitting me with all these bullshit drugs telling me their bullshit will help me get better when I'm not even sick!" He gasped. "I've been here just for a few months and I'm going to die. I've only seen the sun like ten times! Ten times. No wonder everbody in here is turning pale and gross. My TAN IS GONE. I'm a fucking snowman. Look how WHITE I AM!" He exclaimed. A few nearby people looked over along with their doctors. ~~~~~~~~~~ Iris Thomson was just a normal girl. Until she turned four years old, from then every night she'd be visited by a monster named the nightcrawler. It would physically hurt her and nobody else would ever see it but her. The tall rag doll looking monster with sewn shut eyes and the widest smile breaking into various people's houses, killing their pets, stealing etc. She was thrown into a crazy hospital where she met new friends and enemies. Many secrets about her monster is uncovered and this might be the start to a problem a lot larger than Iris had thought.

Virulent by evacharya

[ONC 2023 SECOND PLACE WINNER | AMBASSADORS PICK 2023] An unwilling but gifted geneticist must find a way to safeguard humanity against the deadly pathogen she's forced to design or die trying. *** The planet's population is pushing past 11 billion and counting. With resources spread thin, widespread famine, and health systems crippled everywhere, the governments of the world are running out of ideas. Then a scientist proposes a controversial solution and the classified Project Rescue is born. But when the lead scientist on the project and his entire team mysteriously die, his young microbiology prodigy is brought into the secret government agency to take over where he left off. Ezra Mayur always hoped that her brilliance in pathogen studies would land her a secure job one day. This seems like a dream come true. Full food rations and safety for her struggling family, and a job in the field she is the most interested in. But the project is not quite what Ezra expected and her moral compass is tested when she has to choose between protecting her family or the world. *** PROMPTS that will make an appearance: 12. An evil sorcerer offers you an immense amount of power--but it comes with a price. (Modified: an evil corp offers you an opportunity of a lifetime, but it comes with a price.) 5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?

Given An Unwanted Second Chance by UndertaleFanatic981

(TW: unaliving thoughts and memories at the beginning. It gets better over time, don't worry! Trauma is difficult to overcome...) You didn't want a second chance. You didn't want to survive. You wanted the sweet release of death. But it seemed like the universe was far too cruel to allow you even that. It took away your memories, your free will to choose whether you live or die...hell, it took the one thing in life you owned! Your own name! And now it seemed like you had to live yet another cruel life, doing things you never wanted done to others. But...at least you could do things your way. Maybe this second chance wouldn't be so bad... (Reincarnated as Nightmare Sans, but unlike other stories, you have no clue what Undertale even is) (WE REACHED NUMBER 1 IN THE UNDERTALE TAG YOOOOOOOO) (9/13/25)
