Summary
They open their eyes and the whole world changes, they have no application, no skills, and definitely no quirk! Yet still they are here, in an "abandoned" city with robots attacking everywhere they look. So they act, and that's where all their problems begin, because by all rights, this is not where they should exist...

Summary
Shiki Eiki, revered Yama of Paradise, had never once expected to run into any issues regarding her Cleansed Crystal Mirror. None whatsoever. So when a strange man confronts her, seemingly overriding its power, she finds herself in over her head regarding how to deal with the problem.
All this, during a time of peace no less.
Now, normally, she'd ask for a certain shrine maiden's help in the matter, but that's not the only trick the stranger is packing—around him, she finds herself grounded. Worse, he has no spell cards, so a danmaku duel's out of the question. Confounded, and concerned as she cannot get a single read on the man, she experiences a moment of uncertainty. But in Gensokyo, not everything is as it seems. And with its newest stranger, things may be worse than just at first glance—nor as simple to deal with as the standard incident. As she works to uncover the man's motives, life, and other necessary details, she may just find herself wishing she hadn't encountered him at all...

Summary
A human/mutant/alien Pokemorph ex-superhero shopaholic, a black Maine Coon cat who gets his jollies from scaring people, the cat's overly stoic human daughter, a socialite alien fox, the fox's fight-happy alien wolf friend, the shopaholic's evil child double, an overly conservative maid with emotional issues, and the Goddess of Nature team up to save the maid's boss from getting married to someone who is essentially "Evil Tony Stark" in all but name.
Yeah, it's that kind of story. But in a land where the impossible is possible, zero context is good context. Brace yourselves, readers: it's a weird world you're traveling to.
Vaguely inspired by the 'Ice Hunters' chapters of Xomniac and the Cross-Brain's One Piece fanfic "This Bites!". Any story notes will be compiled into the final chapter, so if you have any questions (and you most likely will), please be patient.

Summary
Decades ago, a Turian patrol fired on an unknown, heavily armed reconnaissance force attempting to activate relay 314, sparking a war with a new, militant alien society armed with an almost entirely alien technological paradigm.
Though peace was brokered by the council, the Alliance's refusal to join the Council, their belligerent response to external aggression and their embrace of Sapient AI has kept tensions between them simmering.
When a rogue Spectre with an army of hostile AI turns a joint operation into the spark of a new war, keeping the peace will fall to an Alliance Commander and a Spectre. And keeping the peace may well prove to be harder than unraveling the mystery of the rogue Spectre, and his connection to the doom of the Protheans.

An attempt at a Warframe/MHA crossover fic that spiraled out of control in a fit of sleep deprivation-induced insanity.

A Crash Course in Monster Hunting by Dryzern

Summary
Monster Hunting. An art long since rusted in the world. The machinations of the Mamono Lord changing the very foundation of the world from violence to debauchery. Mamono seek lust in place of blood now. The notion of blood-soaked battlefields becoming rarer and rarer.
Some seek to claim what they believe is their rightful place as the true keepers of the world and guide the world. Others seek to corrupt the world into one of hedonistic desires where all are free to be what they wish no matter how depraved. Those in between wish to carve out their own spot in the world to call home before the chance is lost.
And some really wish that they had not been roped into this shit again.

Creation is Endless, Forever Changing. Sometimes things breakdown. If this happens in sequence, whole regions vanish from everything. I got drafted to prevent something like that from even being a possibility. At least I got paid.
I have a Patreon & a 'Go Get Funding' for people to support me. I am also taking commissions. If you are interested, you can contact me via my profile.

Some people just want to watch the world burn. After all, when actions have zero consequences, why not indulge in the basest desires and most selfish whims? It's all fun and games in the end.
Too bad Earth Bet didn't quite get that memo.

Summary
Some people are born to change the world; Antares Black was destined to remake it. But the threads of destiny are not so easily rewoven, and in pulling one, he risked unraveling them all.
⦁
Note: Just a heads-up—this story's not super fast-paced or non-stop action. There will be action, sure, but it's more on the slow-burn side with lots of slice-of-life moments. Again, WARNING: glacial burn. Turtle-speed narrative. I really just want to be able to sit back, explore the world, and mess around with the whole Player concept without stressing over keeping things tight and fast. I repeat: slow-burn. Once more for good measure—slooooow paced.
If that sounds like your vibe and you decide to give it a shot, thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy it.

Summary
It is 2011, the astral realms are coming closer to the material, and the 6th world is beginning.
But instead of a capitalist hellscape starting in the 90s granting corporations the powers of governments it is arriving on a world facing a slow apocalypse where super powered individuals called parahumans reign supreme.
On one dark and lonely night Taylor Hebert goes out into the city of Brockton Bay on her first steps to becoming a super hero. Instead of facing something small like a mugger or a small time villain she runs into Lung. The Dragon of Kyushu who faced the Endbringer Leviathan — a Kaiju that destroyed the islands of Newfoundland in Canada and Kyushu in Japan — in single combat.
Facing the Dragon in single combat she draws the attention of a mentor spirit. The Dragonslayer appears before her expecting her to die but revealing the existence of magic in her last moments.
When she is saved by an unlikely group of teenage villains the Dragonslayer begins teaching her the ways to magic and she becomes one of the first true mages of the 6th world.

Summary
Hirrus Callabryn is cursed. Afflicted. Infected.
He’s also aware. For once.
After a player-led event turns his once peaceful town into a band of ravenous monsters, Hirrus obtains a sentience usually unobtainable by non-player characters. It might be a gift of the gods, or a mistake, but Hirrus doesn’t care. It means he can track down and find the players responsible and stop them from doing it again.
Thing is, players don’t like their plans being interrupted. And in this game, there’s no resurrection until the weekly reset. Will Hirrus be able to cut a path of destruction across the land to get his revenge, or will the players be able to overwhelm him and bring him to justice?

Its strongest suit is the later reactions of the main players in the
Game of ThronesInner Sphere. If you don't enjoy the first chapters or they seem chunky, bear with it until the end of the first reaction chapter and you'll not regret it.Chapter 45.

Summary
The main question, she thinks, isn’t her chance at survival or whether she’ll stick to the plot. No, it’s whether she should change the flawed system that thrives off war and child soldiers. Arguably, she’s in the best position to fix it. People would certainly be more willing to listen to you if you threaten them with the giant fox demon in your gut. But what would the cost be? Her morals? Her humanity?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all.
(In which a human rights lawyer is reincarnated into a world without morality, without logic, and most of all, without laws. Helping the world was easier when people weren’t ninjas.)

Bookmarker's Notes
This could be an all time great if it doesn't fall into the trap of never giving the protagonist a break or a win and makes it through the quality slump that tends to happen around 200k words relatively unscathed.
