Banished at fifteen. The former mentor of nations, now a prince exiled to die.
Prince Aric Solendar (formerly Elias Veynar) was too capable, too feared, and too much of a threat to his own father. His punishment is the Gored Lands: a frozen, monster-infested frontier where only the desperate survive. He is stripped of his name, title, and tools.
But the world made a mistake: it gave Aric a Second Chance and a System.
[ Task Objective: Survive → Build → Empower → Rule ]
With nothing but his supreme knowledge of architecture, strategy, and smithing, Aric must lay the first plank of his new life. The villagers see a pale, untested boy. Aric sees raw resources. He will design cities that breathe, train warriors who will bleed, and forge a new power on the edge of the world.
His exile is not a death sentence. It is a building permit.

Forgotten
//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved.

[Ongoing] Purpose. Nootau and the Quest for the Thunderspear
"Heretic! Traitor! Monster" Once hailed as one of their own, Nootau is now a marked outcast, condemned by the voices of those he once trusted. Bound to an ancient force he never wished for, he is thrust into a world where every ally has turned enemy, and every step forward is a fight for survival. With nothing left but questions and a power he barely understands, Nootau must walk the razor's edge between who he was and what he's becoming. In the ashes of his past, he searches not just for purpose-but for a reason to keep going. !! This is currently not proofread, read at your own disclosure !! Looking for a proofreader.

The White Hare
Dying from unknown means, a man suddenly finds himself reborn in another world as... a hare? Now, with a system straight out of an rpg or an isekai lightnovel, "Jack" has to survive being at the bottom of the food chain in his new home. Luckily he has a great mom and dad to help him out. Perhaps he will even find love in this life. During his journey the man will end up using his experience in his past life to help his new family in this one. Most conflicts arise from the young buck sticking his nose into places he shouldn't or allowing his... unique tastes lead him on his next hijinks. [Also anyone is free to comment. I appreciate the reactions and feedback. This story is meant to be a time killer. It's drawn out and long winded so just to let you know.]
Very Wrong Reincarnation: Isekai with Game Nation
A college student with the name of Oliver was reincarnated in another world together with the nation he formerly created in a game that he abandoned a long time ago and needed to survive in, the war-torn and barbaric world of Pandora, which is 4.7 times larger than Earth. A weak nation will be swallowed in a mere instant by overwhelming force or be subservient to the strong. Will Oliver, as the leader of his game nation, prevail in this chaotic world? Or succumb and be crushed by the sheer challenges this world poses. Edit: Some chapters have strong violence, gore, and, to some extent, sexual themes. So be warned.
Fallout Wastelander
A guy who enjoys spending his free time gaming and working out is suddenly reincarnated into an alternate Fallout world as the lone wanderer from Fallout 3. How will he use his Fallout knowledge to survive in this dog-eat-dog world that has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland for the last 200 years with all sorts of dangers lurking around every corner? | Other information | This webnovel is not based on vanilla Fallout and has a much higher ceiling for power, i.e. higher tier mutants and people with extraordinary powers.

When Shadows Remember
You died creating worlds that could never live. Now you've been reborn inside one that refuses to die without you. After his death on Earth, Aric Vale, a game designer obsessed with control, awakens in Daevara-a fractured city that feeds on human emotion. Here, the only power is pain: Spirit Warriors consume fear and sorrow to protect the living from the ghosts that built them. But when Aric's dormant code begins rewriting reality itself, he becomes both architect and anomaly. Guided by his sentient AI Kairos and haunted by the mysterious woman Eira, who may be part of his own creation, Aric learns to harvest emotions, shape simulations, and forge myths that bleed into truth. As the Council of Daevara closes in, terrified of what he's becoming, Aric must decide whether to rebuild this world-or burn it clean. In a realm where belief can kill, fear is currency, and love is a glitch in the system, one creator stands on the edge of godhood-and madness. What happens when the architect of nightmares starts dreaming again?

Borderlands: Pandoran Warlord
| Description | Vic, a young man in his early 20s, suddenly finds himself waking up in the crazy fucked up world of Borderlands in a body not his own. He's initially troubled with the situation he awoke to like any normal person would be. However, he doesn't remain in that state for long because of the many opportunities this new chance at life could bring him. The young man could've stayed miserable about the whole scenario he's been placed in, but he decides to make the best of things and embrace the opportunity he was given out of the blue. So armed with a plethora of knowledge about the dangerous world he awoke in, thanks to the many thousands of hours he's poured into the Borderlands series and a system reminiscent of those from the games, he sets out from the bandit tent ready to stake his claim on the world and live life to its fullest. | Additional Information | I don't really care for any of the games beyond the pre-sequel, so anything written story wise after it will be ignored and probably not used. This also includes the telltale games and the upcoming Borderlands 4 game that looks like a carbon copy of 3.

The Coup
In one night he lost everything. Can he find happiness? Will love lead the way? Can hard times make bonds stronger? Excerpt: I had woken I don't know how many hours later to feel my body being moved. I had started to flail though I knew that it would do no good but it wasn't my attacker. "Damn it, stop it. We've got to get out of here before he finishes his coup." I opened my eyes to see my savior. Okay I thought that for all of two seconds. "Where the hell were you? He killed my father, he... he... you were supposed to protect him." I hit him with my hand then with fists but the little strength I'd had failed and I went limp in his arms. "You may punish me later for now I am going to take you out of here. I will not fail a second time by letting my kings only child and greatest treasure die here." He wrapped the cover I was laying on around me and lifted me. Quickly and carefully he carried me out of the castle and away from what would have been our deaths if we'd stayed.Complete
CATA-CLIMB
[TV SCRIPT] After years of humanity eating away at it's own resources the United Nations collapsed throwing our world into turmoil, Famine and thirst ravaged forcing mankind into a new era of greed and virtue, Now bolstering up was a new beginning for us to face, No longer were we firmly placed at the top of the food chain we found ourselves the ones being hunted, Due to radical science and research across the globe, Viruses continued to uncontrollably spread mutating everything they came in contact with, Three of these viruses stood toppling the rest which would come to be known as The Rot, The Altered, and The Plagued, Survival and ignorance led us down a path of isolation only growing to further one's individual standpoint, We left control of our world to governments who turned their backs furthering personal ambition, Not preventing for what would happen to the masses in a calamity, As a result the Cataclysm hit changing our world forever, An anomaly between untested atomic experiments interfused with particle matter and energy caused a gaslight explosion simultaneously struck across the world, Mutating any living creature outside during this event, Drastically changing in ways unexplainable until witnessed in the flesh, As a result humanity was withered down to only twenty percent of its once dominant population, Strung out and cornered into colonisations after years of rebuilding we attempt to adapt rather then conquer, Surviving in this new reality we've been tested to outlast, Spread across the world which was we remain thinly divided, All which was known has now become scarce or deemed extinct, Humans now find themselves on the edge of a losing battle further suffering in this dark abyss we're forced to walk through, Adapting is key to thriving in this new cutthroat environment which we have been tasked to liveComplete
