Donald, the Barbarian

Donald fears he is going insane--and with good reason. Every male member of his family eventually succumbs to insanity, but Donald is not having any of that (it makes it hard to meet women and have a good time when you're chained up in the barn to keep you from eating your own toenails) so he sets off to become a hero. That, he figures, is the best way to become rich and famous, something he desperately wants. Not so much for the wealth and fame, but rather because--as everyone knows--the rich and famous are never 'crazy', they are 'eccentric'. So, if he must go mad (and he certainly must, since it's a family tradition), Donald would much rather have people say of him "that's the eccentric hero, Donald" than "that crazy old git, Donald--he eats his own toenails". So he sets off to find fame, fortune, and eccentricity accompanied only by his horse, Duncan. Fate, however, steps in to lend a hand and Donald soon learns that being a hero (especially a barbaric one) involves a lot of sweat and beating people over the head with heavy, sharp implements. . .

Mondays with the CEO
This is a story of how fast things can change from awesome to terrible, a story of how when you are in the middle of a shitshow, you do not see a lot of the fun things that are happening and only get to see them when taking a break from them. So, imagine a guy entering his first real job in an awesome company where he is promised the career of his life. Then, just out of the blue, a boss is replaced by another boss. The replaced boss decides to change another boss, and the changed boss also decides that it is enough for a man to serve as CEO of an awesome company for 30 years. Once you run a bankrupt company, and within less than 5 years turn it into a huge money maker in a hopeless holding company for the next 25 years, everyone forgets that this was all done by a person who actually knew what he was doing and as a result they think that every Tom, Dick, and Harry is capable of keeping on doing the same job. That would be a great chance to give that company to an amateur who has married the daughter of the right guy. So, this all leads to meeting two of the biggest fools on the planet. One fool becomes the new CEO, and the other one acts like his bestie while he is really the slave. The watchdog takes all the pride he can in it and holds onto his position as if it really means something. It is crazy how some like being worthless just to make more money. "Mondays with the boss" is my version of everything that happened to me in two years. Most of the book is based on my minutes, and the rest is a mixture of my imagination and memories. Let me make something clear here. Names, faces, and any semblance of sanity have been changed for entertainment purposes. Any resemblance to actual events is purely accidental. So, my fat former boss, do not even think of suing me.Complete
Re:Villains
Two villains work for a guild that do mob/gangster like jobs for income. Like they take a job request (like an assassination) on the board and if they complete it, then the guild gives them the reward money. However the two main villains could never successfully complete a job because they are clumsy, their powers suck, or they always get defeated by a hero. The only income they receive is pity change from the guild. The guild members pretty much call them lame villains and that heroes walk all over them. The guild starts seeing them as a waste of money and space so they start to evict them. The main characters would have nowhere else to go, but see a request that's asking to kill one of the top heroes in the area. They grab the form and accept the job....Complete
From His Perspective
You might think you know human history, but you've never viewed it From His Perspective.....you like a good laugh, right? In the beginning, there was darkness and The Boss liked the darkness. He'd spent years creating the darkness. He was proud of the darkness. Unfortunately, his assistant Norbert liked to snack while working and had a very sensitive nose. Had he not been in charge of monitoring the black holes this may not have been a problem but, as it was, a violent sneeze launched a single biscuit crumb into the darkness, and it was no more. A huge explosion rocked the Factory (better known to us as Planet Earth) and, for The Boss and Norbert, the real work began - they had to deal with life. Life, as they found out, had an awful habit of not staying true to their designs, however carefully they drew up the blueprints. Suddenly, there were fish who wanted to live on the land, a dinosaur who went around killing everything it met, and then, of course, there was man - the Boss' most distinguished and regrettable invention.Complete

Riku operation babysitter 3 chaos in the veins
Welcome back to the most dysfunctional family in hero history! The grandkids are in high school now, Fid is somehow smart (and nobody's ready for that), and Riku... well, Riku just had another baby - little Rikarius, a giggling lightning gremlin who eats waffles faster than physics should allow. But things take a chaotic turn when Riku starts coughing up blood - not the dramatic "anime cool guy" way, but the "someone call Lytework before I short-circuit" way. The Chaotic 5, the grandkids, and what's left of everyone's sanity band together to find a cure for the mysterious "Thunder Virus" before Riku turns into a walking lightning battery. Expect explosions. Expect jokes that should've been illegal. Expect Fid quoting Einstein while Riku tries to eat the test tubes. Between blood tests, school detentions, and Venm nearly blowing up the hospital, the only constant is chaos-chaos with heart, waffles, and shocking puns that'll have even Crim facepalming. Because when your family's the cure and the problem? That's not medicine - that's Operation Babysitter 3: Chaos in the Veins.Complete
Twilight (MHA x M! OC insert)
In a world where 80% of the population has developed unique mutations in their genetic codes, giving them "superpowers", or "quirks", as they call it, it doesn't take long for fantasy and imagination to emerge out of the earth. And further, it doesn't take long for roles of "Heroes" and "Villains" to rise up as well. But... Who coins one as a "hero" or a "villain"...? The person themselves...? Or the people around them...? Light... Dark... Dusk... Dawn... Two sides of the same coin... Twilight... --- Kageyama Kazuma is a 16 year old boy, aspiring to follow his late father's footsteps, and become a hero who saves people. But... Not all can go as planned, or wished, right? So was the case for Kazuma as well, as his quirk soon found itself being held accountable for Kazuma being coined the word "villain" by those around him, before he could even begin his journey to becoming a hero. His only light in this darkness being his mother, is willing to do whatever it takes to keep that smile she treasures so much to never leave the boy's face. But... Being a human at the end of the day, she can only do so much. Follow Kageyama through his journey to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the entirety of Japan. What awaits him on this journey? Friends? Love? Hardships? That's for you to find out. [This is a rework of my first book ever, "What It Means To Be A Hero"] --- I do not own any claims/rights to the My Hero Academia verse, all rights go to Kosei Horikoshi.

Hero Time (Composite Ben 10 reader x Multiple Crossovers)
"In a world where Grimm, Danger Beasts, Monsters, and notorious villains run rampant, there are those who stand against them. Benders, Huntsmen, Heroes, people who have the power to fight them, for the sole purpose of defending the innocent. At least some of them. Other guys just want to prove how powerful they are, and push around people without powers. I learned that the hard way. My name is Y/n Tennyson. I'm 20 years old, and I am in possession of the most powerful alien weapons, in the universe. When I was little, people like Bakugo and Issei picked on me everyday, just because I was too powerless to do anything. So one day, I decided to drop out of Union Academy and went on a cross country road trip with my grandpa and cousin. Then on our first stop, I went out on a walk where a meteor fell out of the sky and crashed right in front of me. But, as it turns out, it wasn't a meteor, but a pod containing a watch that, once stuck upon your wrist, could turn you into any alien you want. Needless to say that my life went uphill from there. I traveled across the galaxy, saved it from blowing up. Fought a giant alien, AS a giant alien. Stopped a race from destroying the universe. Blew up my watch. Got a new one. Dated a tennis player, and broke up with her. Fought a giant alien, as a giant alien AGAIN, this time in Tokyo. Killed an interdimensional demon along with my archnemesis. And made friends with a Slimebiote named Skurd. Now me and my friends are unlicensed heroes who defend the world from destruction. Mainly because it's the right thing to do, but partially to show Union Academy what kind of hero I am now. And I can't wait to see the look on their faces."

SUN DOGS
Humans... always trying to speedrun their downfall. They tore the world apart, then acted shocked when there was nothing left. The apocalypse came and went. No glory in it. Just ash, blood, and fools dying confused. Then they rebuilt it. Because they never learn. Now the world stands again, but, you know... it's real dodgy. Yeah. It's dark. Rotten from the inside. Evil... everywhere. Real dick for brains, motherfuckers running around doing heinous things. Real bottom-tier pieces of human shit. Not hidden either. It walks openly, smiling. But even rot knows fear, and there's a dude that scares the absolute fuck out of every last one of those sadistic bastards. Abram Karasu. If that psychopath decides you're on the menu, your fate was signed, sealed, and notarized before you even heard his footsteps. So don't embarrass yourself by begging. Seriously. It doesn't make him merciful... it just pisses him the fuck off. He doesn't give speeches. He gives brutal honesty. And every lesson comes delivered with all the warmth of a goddamn kunai straight to the face. The guilty know him for the way he kills. Slow when it needs to be slow. Painful when pain is deserved. Accurate. Unmoved. Brutal. He tears evil apart piece by piece, making sure nothing crawls back afterward. No loose ends. No second chances. When retribution moves through him, doors don't matter. Walls don't matter. Your just fucked. Still... he isn't devoid of emotion. God, no. Don't get that twisted. Under all that carnage and maniacal euphoria, there's a normal guy who's just trying to live his fucking life. He's a rare kind of person. Hard to find. The innocent see it. A hand offered. Protection given without a word. He's no hero. Heroes care about being seen. Karasu is just a guy with insane power that chose to use it to do remarkable shit. People say his methods are... Unorthodox. Yeah, that's the word...
