From Zero to Stardom: The Radiant Rebirth

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?

Ascent of the Mushro-noid

"Hello there, as you heard from whatever those strange words are, I’m basically a mushroom, but in reverse, instead of leeching energy off dying things, I give energy to… the dying? To those that ask for it? No no, that’s not it… hmmm… oh that’s right! To those that need it! Well, that’s how it was supposed to go, but something unexpected came up, I would say they are going completely overboard as they tried to off me. All I know is that I helped someone in dire need of it and now, I’m being chased by these scary people, I can hide pretty good, but they are looking for me thoroughly, and they are somehow tracking me, all I can do is keep running, or would that be jumping? Oh, it doesn’t matter!” "I heard something over there!" ‽ ‽ ‽ "Oh shoot they heard me moving, I have to get going now, bye whoever you are, I wish you a good life!" Follow a unique little mushroom in a fantasy world where both nature and civilization are at the top, neither dominating nor succumbing to the other. Nature, monsters, animals, as strong as ever, and the humans, orcs, elves, demons, you name it, are just as proficient, each in their own way. Monsters hunting, killing, dominating the others... the sentient races gathering and growing for survival and betterment in their lives, and in the middle of all that, is our small, uncanny, mushroom friend… well, lets see what happens, shall we?

BNHA (MHA): Hero Prodigy gets a Femboy System

A fanfiction inspired by another author's work, they discontinued but I really liked the general idea and wanted to do my own version. WARNING: Contains violence, dark themes, prostitution, rape, abusive themes, adultery, drugs and etc. I also took the liberty of making the villains more like actual criminals than broken heroes, they're basically fucked up. Like real criminals. Also, title clearly says femboy, don't cry about gay this or gay that. If you aren't into rape and other themes, this is clearly not for you. If this gets popular enough, I'll update every chapter with art and character portraits. Nao Ichijo, suburban city boy born and raised in Tokyo. Parents were prestigious heroes and he himself was a proud hero student, hoping to one day join the ranks of U.A and graduate, and work at a hero agency his parents found themselves in. Yet as he failed the entrance exam, a sort of depression took over him as he mindlessly boarded a train home. His failure, his parents disappointment... when a villain suddenly grabbed him and gagged his throat, coating his body with a slimy fluid. As he felt his consciousness fade, he saw a dream... [System activated... prolonging airways... sustaining life... attempting resuscitation...] [Wake the fuck up asshole.] He hadn't died yet, and as his eyes kicked in he was in an alleyway far off, about to undergo surgery, organ traffickers. And yet the only thing he could focus on was the text box infront of him. [You have been selected as a candidate.] [Detecting genitalia... Detected: Penis (7in) ] [System is not optimized for make hosts. Would you still like to continue? Y/N ]
