He's been skipping classes, hasn't been to work in days and isn't responding to his friend's urgent text messages. For someone who loves his mundane routine, like Xander, this behavior is significantly out of character. But when you're inducted into a death game against your will, attending your business class suddenly becomes low priority, especially when your professor and former classmates have turned into nothing but creepy shadows walking around.
Kissing his much loved routine goodbye, Xander follows a guy who had just frozen an old man in time, then chopped him in two. Will he get chopped too? Or will he manage to survive long enough to exit this new reality where throwing fireballs, summoning swords out of thin air and making ordinary objects explode are commonplace?

Fairy Tail: Shadows (3rd Book In the "Intertwined Fates" Series!) by Cryptic_Eyes
21 parts Complete
Book #3 Lucy sacrificed herself to save Fiore; to stop the machine Loren and Lores constructed to destroy everything. But in order for it to have been destroyed, Lucy forced Natsu to let go of her over the cliff, falling to her death. But...wait. When Loren approaches a devastated Natsu she says that the one responsible for their mind control was a man long forgotten, who's true purpose was to get his one and only true prize: Lucy. And, Loren tells Natsu and the others they can rescue her, but they have to go to the place where shadows lie; the Black Stars. {Used from my previous story, Fairy Tail: The Luminous Star of Caballeen!} There, Lucy is trapped, being held as a trophy by the man and frozen in time. If Loren and Lores open the portal, they can go inside and save her. However, there is a catch; only one person can go inside. And, as soon as they enter the Black Stars, they would be overrun with Shadow monsters; hundreds of them all over the place. The man who has Lucy has control of the Black Stars, and would send the pursuer into different realms to battle different monsters. But Natsu doesn't care. He'd do anything to get Lucy back, and to save her from being trapped all alone forever. Automatically claiming he'd go and not let anyone else take his place, Natsu dives in to the land of the shadows; the Black Stars. Will Natsu save Lucy and bring her home, back to him and the others? Find out what happens in all the chaos in Fairy Tail: Shadows.

My Stolen Jewel by Roseheartisbored
43 parts Complete Mature
Jacob, an abusive, jealous, and manipulative man, just cannot seem to impress his ex in front of his new partner. Rather, he can't win him back. In the City of New Lunadia, where people are hybrids of humans and "spirits" such as wolves, zombies, or elemental forces of nature, there are two of them who's lives are about to change. Elli Fox, a 21-year old telepathic vampire who is also a famous popstar, Sunny Fox, Elli's wife, a 21-year old shadow spirit with powers of infliction, teleportation, and increased strength, and Noah Woodson, a 21-year-old empath with the power of light manipulation and creation. They were highschool friends who hadn't seen each other since college. One day, they bump into eachother at a party. Noah uses whatever chance he gets to tell Elli about everything, but also, to confess about how he truly feels about his friend. Elli and Sunny keep him their little secret. Elli loves Noah so much and wouldn't wanna see him get hurt. But it doesn't stay a secret for long. Hearts are broken, sparks fly, and most importantly, fists are thrown. This story will occasionally be edited, as I may not like how things sound over time. I am progressively getting better at writing smut. If you read this book again and notice some changes, don't worry! I'm just trying to make it better. I wrote this about a year ago and I have grown a lot since then. This book contains LGBTQIA relationships, people, and detailed sexual scenes. If you are against the LGBTQIA, i suggest you read another book and leave no hate. Because you don't have to. Thank you!

Highest ranking achieved: #8 in human experimentation #9 in infected #14 in plague Disclaimer: this is a BL story that means both the main characters are boys. Its also tagged as 18 so be warned. This might not just include sex but also violence, gore, abuse and rape because that's how a real apocalypse is. If you are uncomfortable with that I advice you not to read.

To Survive A Harem System - Lucas Owens' Edition by SoulDipper
42 parts Ongoing
A fan parody of My Daily Life With A Monster Harem by UnknownFate25. Lucas Owens is a curious case. He certainly looked average: He goes to school, has a nice family, a few good friends. Although he was a bit less social than most, he was mostly normal. Except for his tendency to imitate a few characters from media and games he likes... He's just the average guy you would barely notice in a classroom other than when he is near his group. It all changed when he wakes up to the [Harem System]. He is thrown head first into a new world: The world of the Supernatural. It surely didn't help that this system strongly favored Monster Girls! How is Lucas supposed to survive with many monster girls after him!? Can he even handle the new attention brought on by this [System]? This journey will be littered with many trials to overcome. Paths intertwined, the red threads have been connected... The Wheel of Fate is Turning! Heaven or Hell? Let us begin! This parody is primarily concentrated in approaching the combat and adding a lot of references to what I, SoulDipper, have an interest to. Including, but not limited to, fighting games (Guilty Gear and BlazBlue in particular) and whatever I can get my gremlin hands on post-production of this parody. This story is set in an alternative "timeline" with slight changes here and there but having same ideas and locations. Furthermore, romance is not going to be the main focus in this parody. If anything, this might be considered as an anti-romance in my very "capable" hands.

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸

Synopsis: Ghosts Of Our Pasts

1 part Complete

This is a synopsis of my Ghosts Of Our Pasts story, which is book 1 in the "Final Reckoning: The Fate Of Jinx" trilogy. I wrote this as a convenience for people who might be interested in reading book 2 (Champions of Zaun), but are daunted by the 240K words of the first book. (No judgment here, I get it!) Or if you just want to refresh what happened after reading the entirety of the first book! This synopsis, though long, should allow you to catch up on all the main (and side) plot lines.
