《Reborn as the Duke’s Daughter ~ The Goddesses are Ruining my Life!》Ch. 7 – A Goddess Plans My Future?! Pt. 1
Advertisement
Gathering herself after her temporary breakdown, Maven picked herself up off the floor and mustered her courage to face the reality - she was now, kind of, a demigoddess. Biting her thumb in frustration as she psyched herself up, Maven continued thinking to herself. Okay, I can deal with that. I can definitely handle the whole ‘demigod’ thing. I just need to keep that a secret and never show off any of weirdness or abnormal power. Totally easy. Then, I just need to remove the corruption of an entire country, change how demon’s are perceived by the entire world, and protect the world from aliens or godly invaders. I can totally do all that while keeping my identity secret. Yep, totally! I swear, once all this is over, I will definitely, definitely retire to the countryside and live a quiet life as a normal girl! Feeling much better after her internal monologue, having decided on a very reasonable (lol) goal for the future, Maven turned to the goddesses and said, “Okay! I’m ready, let’s do this!” Kannon, smiling a bit awkwardly after sensing that Maven thoughts had, perhaps, become a bit crooked from all the stress. Kannon responded with a halting voice, “S-Sure. I-I’m glad to see you motivated. I believe in you Maven!” Tired of being left out of the conversation, Henna jumped in at this point by saying, “Just some quick points before we send you off to be reincarnated down on Avalon…” Maven shrunk in on herself and gulped nervously, but quickly straightened her shoulders in confidence after remembering her foolproof plan. Grinning naughtily at Maven, “So, once you leave the Divine Realm you will officially begin your reincarnation. The plan is to have you begin life anew as the first daughter of a Ducal house in the human nation - the house of Daegal. The Lady of the house, Farissa, conveniently just conceived and a soul has yet to take root in the new life. I shall guide your soul on its journey through Avalon’s circle of reincarnation and the blessing Kannon gave you will ensure that you are born healthily.” A bit hesitant at having to start her new life from the very beginning of the starting line, Maven asked Henna, “Do you really have to start me off as a child in the womb? I really don’t want to begin my awesome new life in a magical world as a baby.” Henna laughed at Maven’s misgivings, “Fufufu, no need to worry my dear. Though you will be experiencing your life from the very beginning, your memory and power will remain dormant until your body is mature enough to handle the burden.” Mouth curling into a mocking smile, Henna continued, “You certainly won’t have to experience the delicious embarrassment of your diaper period. No, that joy will belong to us alone. I promise not to laugh… too much.” Shaking her head in denial at the idea of the goddesses watching her infant self and laughing at her foolishness, Maven decided it was safest for her mental health to just not think about it. She hurriedly tried to urge Henna onward, “M-Moving on… Is there anything else I need to know before I go down there?” Kannon, taking pity on her, took over the conversation from there, “There won’t be much for you to do for several years once you’re reborn. I’d recommend you practice magic, acclimate yourself to your divine spark and the plentiful mana available on Avalon. You’ll be in a unique position, with the memories and mental fortitude of an adult, so you should be able to make the most of the growth potential of a child." "I took a peek at the stories and games of your old world, but there isn’t anything so strict and limiting as a skill system here. As long as you have the proper attribute, expend the minimum amount of power, and can imagine what you want - anything is possible. Your potential is limitless, so I recommend you experiment yourself. I can help you with the light and life attributes and Henna, if she can hold herself back from teasing you, should be able to help you learn the basics of dark and death - but neither of us know anything about the new element created from blending the two, it’s unique to you alone.”

Dragon Hack
Rich's life sucks. He lives in a dystopia, His father's an abusive creep, his mother's up to some shady stuff, and he's pretty sure he's going to die a virgin. He can't do much about the first few problems, but a new darknet game might give him a shot at getting laid. But even the most well-laid plans go astray, and he ends up with way, way more than he bargained for. He gains a character with the rarest of all races: Dragon. But it's a two-way street, and strange occurances and problems soon have Rich wondering if this is truly a game, or something far more sinister... WARNING: Contains verbal abuse and harsh language. The language and sentiments used do not represent the views of the author. The dystopia portrayed is meant to be a cautionary tale, rather than a criticism of any existing group or political faction.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
