Akuryo; It might as well have been a name to him. Well, now it was, anyway.
All his life, Ren has known one simple fact: As a shapeshifter, he would never be welcome in the world, never seen as anything more than vermin at best, and hellspawn at worst.
But when his attempt to do the right thing lands him in more trouble than he realized, he decides that what seemed like a fatal mistake might be his last chance to leave everything behind. To start over.
Simple rules are set: Trust no one, stay alone, and stay alive. Then, once the year is over, live a quiet life as a normal human.
But as friendships form left and right, fears demand to be faced, and the world unravels at its seams, there's only one thing that's clear:
Ren thought he knew by now what fate had up its sleeve, but it seems it's decided instead that it won't be that simple.
===
A retelling of P5R featuring a race of mystical humans with the power to shapeshift into any one animal. Our trickster, of course, is one of them.

I Became The Scoundrel In The Popular Dating Sim
Pro Tip: Never play a game 100 different times, no matter how addicting it is! ~My Lovely Harem School Life~ Just like the cringy name suggests, it's a well-known dating sim that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines, fun story, and most importantly, the significance of the player's choices that influence the endings. ...But why did I end up transmigrating into the scummiest character in the game, Yagami Reiji, the heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash that harassed the main cast, the trash that bullied the students, and the trash that ultimately 'steals' the heroines if the player makes the wrong decisions. A walking bad ending. Why me? And out of every possible role... why him? Now, I'm trapped in a life that isn't mine, surrounded by classmates who flinch at my presence and a father who expects me to inherit an empire built on blood. Can I rewrite Reiji's fate before his past drags me down with him? Can I live a normal school life when the shadows of the underworld are watching my every move? I've got multiple targets on my back, a reputation in flames, and to make matters worse, the original protagonist is somehow a complete moron. This isn't a dating sim anymore. This is my reality..... *** Patreon: patreon.com/Ares_00 You can access: - Up to 40 advance chapters - Updated Character Images (Free) - Fun and interactive polls - Private community - Fan requests - And MUCH MORE

(P.S. Corny description, I know. I'll try to make the quality as good as possible, but of course for those who read my 70 chapters of Bleach: New Generation, you know its not guaranteed, haha. Also, sorry for the bad quality cover) (P.P.S. Not gonna bother adding images...BUUUUUUUUUUUUT if you just send a link to one, I'll probably add it based on the context of the chapter...but don't send me weird stuff) Oh yeah, did I mention I also post the same story on AO3? Well, there you go. Anyway, Enjoy!
For Her... (MHA!Various x Reader)
BEING REWRITTEN BY A NEW AUTHOR! (@b4ts1e) !!WARNING!! This story talks and revolves heavily around very sensitive topics such as; abuse, rape, cheating, death, depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-harm, and abandonment. There are a few more other than the ones listed, but if any of those can cause you mental instability or to spiral down into a panic or anxiety attack I advise you not to read this story. You have been warned. Extra Story Details: Redstrings: At age 16 people get their redstring(s) to their soulmate(s). They can write on their skin and it will show up on their soulmate's(s') skin aswell. If one soulmate gets hurt, the other(s) will feel a small tinge on where the injury is, and a soulmark aswell {example: star, heart, etc.} Colors: Red-Normal, Black-Cut string, White-Other died Hanahaki Disease: Being the result of one-sided love, Hanahaki makes the victim cough or puke out flowers in the color(s) of their love interests' hair. If the love insterest doesn't love them back before it's too late the victim will stop breathing due to the flowers in their lungs. The only way to get rid of the disease without the love interest returning the feelings would be the victim getting them surgically removed, resulting in them loosing their emotions entirely. Star Tears: Another result of one-sided love, much like the Hanahaki. However the person will cry star shaped tears that make twinkling noises when hitting the ground. This is not removable, meaning the only way to stop the victim from going blind would be for the love interest to love them back. Copyright: I do not own My Hero Academia or any of it's cannon characters. The only thing I own is the story, and additional characters.Complete
My Key Item (Joker X Futaba) Persona 5 Royal
After months of getting to know and love Futaba Sakura, knowing that she is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with, it's all ripped away by one man. Takuto Maruki has decided that people cannot be allowed to think for themselves, and that they should never have to feel pain, well, unless you interfere with his plan. After being thoroughly trounced by the Phantom Thieves, Maruki makes one last ditch attempt to break the theives, and kills Futaba. In his blind rage, Akira Kurusu, otherwise known as Joker takes matters into his own hands, and stops the mad God in his tracks. Time reverts to its original self, with Akechi dead and gone and Maruki and Futaba alive and well, and Akira in Juvinile Detention. After being freed from prison, he finds out that something went wrong when the timeline was restored. Futaba knows him not as her lover, but merely as his friend. Now Akira must find a way to cope with this new life in Hometown, while trying to juggle the return of the Metaverse, and Futaba tries to find her way through the complex feelings she has for Joker, but can't quite explain, as well as the dreams that almost feel like memories. Will she push through and recover her memories and her love? Or will she and Akira both fade into the Mementos of what they have lost. I took a couple liberties with events and the Timeline, but overall, I stayed fairly close to the original game's story. This is a passion project that sprung to mind while driving, and now I'm hyperfixated... Welp, time to churn out a book. ENJOY READING IT!!
