The Gods Need A Better Storyteller

After dying in a fire, a librarian finds himself before Geshich, the god of stories. Desperate for another chance at life, and avoid the dread of death, he pleads for a second chance. Geshich agrees, on one condition: this time, his life must be worth telling. Reborn as Caleb Lightbane, he finds himself in a medieval world turned on its head, where women are superhuman warriors and men wield magic. Determined to avoid a dull and uninteresting life, Caleb searches for a narrative worthy of divine approval, unaware that his desire for a good story may get him into more trouble than its worth. When he accidentally kills several figures he believes to be bandits in the woods, Caleb stumbles upon a horrifying discovery: a trunk containing a strange and alien substance and the dismembered bodies parts of young girls. Wracked with guilt and curiosity, he spends months studying healing magic, eventually succeeding in restoring them to life. But when the girls awaken, Caleb panics and invents a lie. He tells them they were sacrificed by an evil cult devoted to a god of Entropy, casting himself as a chosen savior: the Prophet of Light. Trapped by his own fabrication, Caleb’s situation worsens when he carelessly creates a clone of himself, one who eagerly volunteers to play the role of the Evil Prophet. From opposite sides of a sometimes carefully constructed myth and sometimes random bullshit they came up with, Caleb and his clone begin to shape their followers into warriors and zealots, forged by faith, lies and gas-lighting. To sustain the illusion, the two prophets engage in deliberate theatrics: staged confrontations, fake prophecies, and calculated displays of mercy and cruelty, all designed to be seen and remembered. And their antics may have caught the attention of more than just Geshich. (2-3 Chapters a week. Usually on Tuesdays and Thursday, sometimes Saturday. But there will be a hiatus between volumes.)

The forgotten reader

Before the first world formed and before the gods learned to shape creation, a single constellation watched the infinite realms unfold. This being was known as the Forgotten Reader. He could witness every life and every possibility. He could understand every secret the gods tried to hide. He could observe the rise of civilizations and the collapse of universes. Yet he could never touch any of it. He possessed infinite knowledge but no ability to act. His existence was an eternal prison of silence and boredom. Then he discovered something new. A concept with no mind and no form. A spark of potential called Gamer. He reached for it in desperation, hoping to escape the curse of observation. The universe punished him for it. His memories shattered. His authority collapsed. His soul was forced into reincarnation. The strongest constellation vanished from the heavens. Far away, in the year 3028, a child was born in the Oasis Archdukedom. The full moon filled the pristine white room with silver light as the third child of the Oasis family entered the world. He appeared ordinary at first. No overwhelming mana. No elemental awakening. No signs of genius. Then his eyes opened. They flickered between water blue and a deep purple that resembled the glow of distant constellations. On the back of his hand burned the Twilight Wolf mark, the symbol of the true Oasis heir. The captains and elders stared in shock. The Twilight Wolf had chosen again. His mother named him Raine. Inside this newborn slept the broken soul of a cosmic being. Inside him pulsed the Gamer concept that the universe tried to erase. Inside him stirred a power that no god wanted to see rise again. Humanity was already locked in a brutal war against nephilim, mythics, and beast men. Demons and elves had become uneasy allies. The Cult of Outer worked to summon beings who wanted reality to collapse. The gods watching from above. The Outer Beings watching from beyond reality. All of them sensed a shift.

Douluo: Reborn as a White Tiger, Sacrificing Zhu Zhuqing at the Start

Bai Lu transmigrated into the Douluo world and became a White Tiger. Just after breaking through to the hundred-thousand-year level, he was targeted by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. After a fierce battle, although he successfully drove it back, he himself was gravely injured. “If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger recovers and returns, I’ll definitely die.” “But if I forcefully transform into human form now, I’ll probably die even faster!” At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who was being relentlessly hunted, appeared within Bai Lu’s field of vision. A plan immediately formed in his mind, rather than transforming while severely injured and failing to escape death, it would be better to sacrifice himself and become a Wisdom Soul Ring to create a god! “Little kitty, do you want to live? Do you want to control your own fate?” “Take a deep breath, the pain is normal!” Bai Lu carried out the sacrifice at extreme speed. In an instant, the fusion was complete, and he successfully became Zhu Zhuqing’s Slaughter Skull Bone, Wisdom Soul Ring, and second martial soul. “Little kitty, your body is really easy to use. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Zhu Zhuqing: ??? — Tang San: “I feel like I’ve always been living in her shadow.” Qian Renxue: “Such a genius, I must completely conquer her!” Bibi Dong: “A member of the Zhu family may not be unusable for my Spirit Empire!” Silver Dragon King: “Explain something to me, what do you mean a soul master has charged in here?” “Cultivate diligently, or let the Slaughter Skull Bone be your brother!” Bai Lu: “Would you all like to come inside the bone for a chat?” — Standing before you now is— The Empress of Star Luo Empire, The Pope of Spirit Hall, The Conqueror of Heaven Dou Empire, The one sacrificed by the God-Killer White Tiger, The Usurper of the Asura God and Sea God, The Ruler of Soul and Death… Zhu Zhuqing! — Schedule: 9 Chapters/Week — For Advanced Chapters: [[email protected]/TheAbsoluteBeginning]

Max Bennett: From A Bennett's Perspective[TVDU OC SI] (GAY MC)

Max died of cancer and was transmigrated via your typical R.O.B entity, only to the world of TVD, where bloodsucking vampires run rampant and self-righteous witches have boldly declared themselves 'servants of Nature.' He gets reincarnated as Bonnie Bennett's cousin, but with the added bonus of having unmatched magical potential and hard-to-hate persona. He'll turn snarky, devious villains into his husbands or his allies and bring the supernatural community to its knees. By the time Klaus comes to town, Max had already ressurected and upgraded Kol Mikaelson and Mason Lockewood. By the time Ken came rolling in, Lucien Castle, Ryan Clarke and Kaleb Westphall had already joined Max's harem. With pre-known knowledge of cannon, Max has no intentions of letting all he saw on TV happen irl -- At least, not entirely anyways.

For some reason, Yohan had started to see random visions of the future in his dreams. Yohan lips curled up as he gazedl at the charming women before him. "I'll be needing your help though~" “My body is quite picky, but if an energy is pure enough, it adapts, and I power up immediately.” Yohan woke up in a strange martial world, where being skilled in pleasure arts was a respectable feat. The world of Ashwyn was in constant threat from the ten dangerous labyrinths, where demons and monsters dwelled. Not only that, over a hundred years ago, an epidemic swept the realm—Eros Overload Syndrome in men and Mana Crystallization Disorder in women—killing countless people and nearly collapsing civilizations. Though medicine and regulation eventually brought stability, these conditions became a part of daily life rather than disappearing entirely. Their existence reshaped society in unexpected ways. Relationships grew more complicated, industries surrounding relief, medicine, and pleasure flourished, and new crimes and professions emerged alongside strict laws and regulations. Amidst all this, Yohan received a quest from a mysterious woman: Tame the 7 succubus queens hidden in the dungeons to fix the collapsing world. Yohan met an attractive woman in the subway station and a remote control fell out of her pocket. When he picked it up, he saw a hint of panic flash across her face. Yohan suddenly felt mischievous. He wanted to watch a good show. So he pressed the button with an evil grin. The subway station exploded. That's how he ended up dying. He found himself reborn in the magical world of Everniel. Even though the world was in constant danger of mystical portals appearing, connecting it with the monster infested islands, it was also full of opportunities. Awakening stone being one of them. But Yohan failed to awaken any magical skill at the prime time. This didn't stop him from trying to be better, richer in life. There were many profitable professions besides being a Hunter after all. As he planned to research colleges and his future career paths, a mysterious girl sneaked inside his house. "Your soul is different from the rest," she declared. "These impure stones will never trigger your awakening." To Yohan's shock, her appearance started changing and a mature demoness appeared before him. She licked her lips. "But let me give you a gift~." And so, Yohan gained his first ever magical skill... The ability to see through anything, be it a monster's weaknesses... Or people's filthy desires.
