7 parts Complete
[Discontinued] After dying in prison because an experiment, I went back 2 years before my death. My faith in the Imperial Family, my affection for my own family, all of it could go to hell! To do that, I went to the second prince of this Empire, Azazel von Elysian to seek for a cooperation. "I will help you become the Emperor. In return, make me your Empress by becoming the Emperor. I want everyone at my feet." With this agreement, we were bound by a bond where we would crush the Empire and create a new. I will make him the Perfect Tyrant. - "Verena, tell me what you desire. I'll give it to you with all my heart." He whispered softly in my ear while holding me from behind, as if to lock me in his embrace forever. "Why are you asking me this when we already reached our goals?" He tighten his embrace, burying his head onto my shoulder. "... I'm sorry, I just wanted to know whether you will leave me or not." "Is that so?" However, it appears that as time passes, he has developed a strong attachment to me, bordering on obsession. "I'm addicted to seeing more of the feeling that arose when you smiled at me and just me." He wouldn't let me escape from his golden cage that he created for me. "I'm the only one who can save you, Verena." - "Please don't leave me. I will do all you ask of me... just, please don't abandon me... if you do, I'll kill myself." My eyes went wide as shiver ran down my spine as I unconsciously stepped back because of his threat. That Tyrant Emperor that I created is kneeling on the floor and wailing in front of me, the one who has used him for years. As if he were a child who would be abandoned by his parents. Is it possible for me to get to the desired conclusion in this way? "If you're going to hell, Verena, please bring me along with you." *** | Side Note | - Cover : Canva
The Ecstasy of Sister Amata by AbiBee
15 parts Complete Mature
Ten years after leaving their Catholic boarding school, three former classmates meet up at the headmistress's retirement, and find the past still has resonances in the present. This started as my attempt at the Open Novella Contest 2021 (20,000-40,000 words. This is at the upper end of this range.) It didn't get anywhere much, but it was an interesting experiment (and fun to plan and write). ** Music, particularly for organ, plays quite a rôle in this story. Instead of providing accompanying media, I'll list the pieces that feature here, for anyone who wants to chase them up. Apart from Beatrice's (which doesn't exist, obvs) they're all available on YouTube. -JS Bach: Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor (BWV 582) -JG Rheinberger: Sonata no.11 in D minor (Op.148), Cantilène - Adagio * Beatrice's recital: -JS Bach: Prelude & Fugue in G (BWV 541) -Dietrich Buxtehude: Two chorale preludes - 'Ach Herr, mich arme Sünder' (BuxWV 178) / 'Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott' (BuxWV 199) -Joseph Rheinberger: Five Trios (Op.189 1-5) -Niels Gade: Tre Tonestykke (Op.22) -Maurice Duruflé: Suite pour orgue (Op.5): prélude -Beatrice Sullivan: Fantasia on 'Ave Maris Stella' -JS Bach: Chorale prelude on 'Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross' (BWV 622) -Louis Vierne: Hymne au Soleil (Op.53) * For an idea of the sort of Passion setting Bea mentions in ch.8, try 'St Matthew Passion' by Orlando di Lasso. * (Written February-March-April 2021 )

Satsu to question who truly controls this magic-drenched world.

What to Expect: - Unique Evolution System: Discover how the Impetus System defies traditional ranks, offering unpredictable powers at a moral cost. - Epic Battles: From goblin hordes in forgotten villages to cosmic horrors that test sanity. - social inequality - Inner Struggles: How far would you go to protect those you love?

Rimelion: The Exploiter by MarekSusicky
81 parts Ongoing
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

The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)

47 parts Complete

I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one. Anyways give me a vote y'all Started Serializing on October 9, 2022 and finished: December 28, 2022 [Volume 1]
