The Polish Commonwealth has historically been a powerful nation with a weak governing body. Things have been made worse when a series of conquests made by a succession of kings hungry for glory leaves the empire with a faltering economy, angry and a practically empty manpower reserve. To make matters worse, the Scandinavian Empire is pushing in from the North posing a threat to the Commonwealth's Baltic coast provinces. Furthermore, the Commonwealth, the current ruling nation of the Holy Roman Empire, must find a way to push the Dutch out of HRE lands without declaring full out war with England and Scandinavia being involved, which would lead to a very large and disastrous war for Poland and her allies. Not to mention that the peasants are ready to rise up against the monarchy and overthrow serdom, the system that the Commonwealth relies on stay alive. With the clock ticking down for the Commonwealth, difficult choices will have to be made in order to maintain balance in Europe.

From The Other Side
After the Countryhumans witness a boring teenager get hit by Truck-Kun on UN's birthday, they find themselves dealing with a cliche anime Isekai world named Arachnid after a gateway opens up, connecting both worlds. However, it appears King Sadan, the king of the Atreti Empire (or The Empire), wants a taste of ruling over all of Pangea. In the world of Arachnid, the CH have to deal with dragons, knights, monsters, and the supposedly "main Isekai character" that goes by the name of Hinkari, that has a personality of a rock and oddly has a harem, who views them as a threat and the villains of his story. Tensions are rising as the CH have to find a way to calm the situation down before citizens of both sides get killed in the crossfire, all while trying to not get killed in the process. Or before something that was put into a slumber long ago wakes up and wreaks havoc to both worlds. -- Spoilers: This story is suppose to make fun of the typical/cliche Isekai anime shows. The story line is inspired by GATE: And So the JSDF fought anime (mainly on the first few chapters before it starts going into a different path) Art cover done by me! (Yippee I made my own book cover for once)
Dutch Empire becomes a great power
The Dutch Empire that was strong is hurt. The British had stolen numerous trade posts leaving them with Dutch lands in South America and the Dutch East Indies. But with a large chunk of the world still uncolonized the Dutch will expand and show the world that the Dutch are not down yet. (I can't give all historical intel on this one due to some of the info I am putting in here being guesses. For example I don't know what Great Britian and their colonies are so I knew for a fact that I am likely wrong with their land size.) Best to admit it now thoughComplete

For the growing resistance has finally managed to recruit the greatest criminals of the 26th century to spark the beginning of the greatest rebellion in human history. Unfortunately for them, the 'greatest criminals of the 26th century' are teenagers. And even in this day and age, teenagers still bring their insecurities and petty rivalries with them, wherever they go. So, this is the question: can this team of misfit criminals bring a golden age of peace?

Pokemon Cyberpunk | Neon Legends
Welcome to the world of Pokemon, a world where supernatural and mysterious creatures call home. All Pokemon come in different shapes and sizes. Some are used for battle, some are seen as pets or companions, and others help in all sorts of ways in society. Pokemon coexist with humans, and both work together in order to further progress into the future. But what if the future wasn't as "sunshine and rainbows" as they thought. The world became plagued with a deadly deep-red, smoke-like miasma that devoured and corrupted all that was unfortunate in getting in its way. Because of this, most of the population was forced into multiple civilizations protected under highly defensive domes. But one city in particular, stood out more than the others. The largest protected bastion located in the region of Neo Radia. It's a region home to the strongest resistance, the Royal Guards; highly skilled Pokemon trainers who protect their dome civilization and find ways to be able to reclaim the outside world. But where there is light, there's shadows that hide in the darkness. WARNING!!! Strong and foul language, violence, mature situations, etc. The images and videos shown do not belong to me, they belong to their respective owners/creators. Now I don't guarantee that this will be a safe and comfortable ride. Please enter at your own risk and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE BUCKLE UP!!!
