In the country of Emelan, there are those who are born with the Gift. These people are commonly called mages. The mainstream form of magecraft is Academic Magic, which can be taught at any University across the country; provided you are born with the aptitude. Some mages are born with more of the Gift than most, these mages are capable of Ambient Magic and are born with a natural magical speciality. Unfortunately, magekind has long been divided, due to inferior jealousy and fear of their unpredictable power.
In the aftermath of the Ambient Genocide Resurgence, ambient mages, now more than ever, need the sanctuary of the Winding Circle; a temple established to protect and foster ambient mages. But as a wicked blood mage gains power and an unstoppable magical plague spreads across the country of Emelan, ambient mages are hunted in exchange for cures.
Mages in the present might not realise that looking to the past for help might have sealed all of their futures.

Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended [Part One] (Discontinued)
As a player, imagine having the power to reset your stat points at will - one moment, a warrior cleaving through enemies; the next, a mage wielding devastating spells; then an assassin vanishing into the shadows. No limitations. No weaknesses. Just absolute dominance in any scenario. You would be unstoppable. A god. The cost? To escape a life of poverty, Daisuke attempted to hack the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online. But things take an unexpected turn and he's transmigrated into the body of a newborn NPC - stranded in one of the most lawless, cutthroat regions of the game where ambition and cruelty reign. Fasten your seatbelt and follow Daisuke as he carves out his own piece of paradise in a broken world and forges his name into legend. What to expect: » Slow start, leading to an immensely satisfying power-up » Dark & Brutal Beginnings » Unlocks abilities at chapter 33 & the atmosphere becomes a bit more vanilla » Weak To Strong Male MC » Fast Leveling + Rare Magical Items » Stats + Hidden Abilities + LitRPG System » Explosions, Special-Grade Monsters, & Epic Battles

Shapeless Hero
Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.) If it wasn't obvious already: Cover art made by yours truly.![Transmigrated As An Adventuring Prince?![DISCONTINUED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/279898602-256-k277557.jpg)

I died in my previous life because of an incurable disease. I thought My life has ended "It's the end for me" but seems like I had another story waiting for me. "Oh My baby...!" A beautiful women in her mid 30's called. I guess she's my mother. "She looks just like you" A handsome Man also in his mid 30's said. He must be my father. "Wow...! She's soo tiny" A boy atleast 5-6 year old. At last, He's my brother. "What should we name her, honey?" My father asked. "Shurina. Shurina Agnes" My mother named me. Wait- Shurina? Agnes??? ISN'T IT THE NAME OF A SIDE CHARACTER IN THE NOVEL "Saintess that runs a business"??!!! What do I do? It seems like I've been reincarnated in a Novel that I read in my past life. Hmph. But who cares?! I'll live my life lavishly!! "Shurina!!! Let's hangout!" Oh. I forgot. Shurina Agnes was the FL's Bestfriend. Here goes my Peaceful and Lavish life. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* This book might contain some grammar and spelling mistakes. Please ignore that. There won't be any mature content. Just some Foul language.
Rimelion: The Exploiter
What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done
