Persona: The Phantom Masquerade.

Persona: The Phantom Masquerade.

BonVoyage
After making a bet with the owner of the Velvet Room. The God of Control decides to cheat by changing the soul of the Trickster who is supposed to defeat him. Placing another soul into the protagonist of Persona 5 Royal. Follow Ren Amamiya, the impostor, as he slowly begins to spread his influence. All in an act to bring entertainment to those who are watching his actions. And maybe, in order to do something more, hiding his actions in plain sight to those who observe him. With the assistance of his persona, Tartuffe. he will be able to see through the masks that humanity wears. Gaining a deeper insight into those around him. ~Now, onto the part where the author talks about the story~ To those familiar with Persona 5, my goal for this story is to create a new version of what happens in the game rather than basically rewrite everything. That includes the way the confidants develop, as well as the way the story progresses. For those unfamiliar, I also try to explain everything in a way that you will be able to follow along even if you have never played Persona 5, though I highly recommend the game to anyone who hasn't played or watched a playthrough of it. Yes, it will have the harem and the R18 in the future. However, unlike novels that are 90% lemon, and he gets the girls two chapters after meeting them, the story and romance will progress at an actually reasonable pace. So, the relationships with each person will develop naturally as they do in the game. Lastly, I want to talk about the three pillars of this story, which are the confidants, the Metaverse, and the mix of both. For the last one, I mean chapters in which one of the confidants is developed while also learning more about the Metaverse and the mystery surrounding it. Throughout the story, I will try to weave the three of them as best as I can in order to capture the appeal of the game. Anyways, that's it. Hopefully, you all enjoy the story. --- --- --- Also, I opened a discord https://discord.gg/WTgN9J3YgK. Pretty barebones at the moment cuz it's brand new. But feel free to drop by.

I Can Get Stronger Just by AFK’ing—So I Joined a Chat Group

The transmigrator Bai Ye awakens a “Heaven Rewards Diligence” system: every skill on his status panel has proficiency, and any real training steadily turns into growth—effort in, power out. But the real cheat is AFK mode: the system provides three AFK slots. Whether it’s a talent trait or an ability trait, once slotted in, it will generate continuous gains automatically, letting him stockpile progress even when he’s not actively grinding. He assumes that’s the whole blessing—until, years later, an invitation arrives from a cross-dimensional mutual-aid chat group, linking him to people from entirely different worlds… and opening the door to even bigger opportunities (and chaos).

The Candle Keeper

Five hundred years of cycles. Fifty civilizations fallen into silence. After witnessing the end of the world time, I sacrifice everything to send my memories back in time, waking in my 16-years-old body. This rebirth is no salvation. Centuries of memories crushed my mind. My once-peerless talent faded. The Qi I newly awakened—— the mysterious, stable energy that powers this world —— remained weak and chaotic. I live in a civilization that has forgotten how to dream. People no longer look to the stars. No one explores the cosmos, no one dares to unleash their creativity. Dangerous thoughts are erased, and minds are quietly controlled. I sense the truth beneath the calm: this world is not at peace. It is more like a delicate cage. I hunt for the legacies of ancient powerhouses. With my frail Qi, I uncover buried history. Changing the doomed course of the future is my first purpose. Yet I do not yet know: Boundaries exist to maintain us, not imprison us. Silences are survival, not weakness. The path I believe will save the world may be the key to its destruction. In this life, I still strive to save humanity. But the one obsession in my heart is to save my little sister, raised in chains. Holding a candle of memory, I seek my liberation in the dark.

Survival in a mafia romance game requires seduction, betrayal, and choosing the right mob boss. But thriller writer Tisha is armed with something far more dangerous: basic common sense.

It’s a battle of mafia romance tropes versus the laws of physics, and Tisha is bringing a heavily dented throwing knife to the gunfight. [50 Chapters]

Gods of Pangaeos

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.

My Wife Is a Scientist

In a world full of fools and sages, I am the one who goes beyond foolishness. I may be a simp sometimes. But for me, She is my whole world. I see you cannot understand the mystery of love: to love is to suffer. Here you have your king of cosmos and the queen of destiny. Do not listen to him: he is a simp, being in love with a girl who barely had friends. Go away, Author. You have no girlfriend, nor money. So we should put you in your place. Last novel was a failure. I am getting ready to continue this book: Philosophy, love, paradox, romance, weird harem, Christianity, other religions, power, politics, gods, the logos, the fool, babies, impregnation, theology, university, daemon, seriousness, and conflict. D should get a girlfriend to be honest. Shut the fuck up! you are a simp. Sorry. This novel can be kinda schizophrenic.
