AN: taking a break, be back soon. Currently writing: 86th Move Science, the process by which all of our modern lives are made possible. Yet this aspect is denied or rendered irrelevant in most isekai stories. Look on, and ponder the question... Just how powerful is science? Tag: Empire/Civilization Building, Exploration into high sci-fi concept, Hard Science Fiction, Dark, Realistic AU, Genderbend, Slow Romance. Inspirations: Worm, A Ghost of a Chance, Scientia Weaponizes the Future, other CYOAs (namely Built in the Heavens), Xeelee Sequence, and Isaac Arthur's exploration into Sci-Fi. Warning: this story contains dark, gory, and body horror elements in certain sections of the story. Inspired Inventor, if you are familiar with CYOAs you should know where it came from and what it does. However, should you be unfamiliar, this should catch you up to speed. Inspired Inventor- You are the world's first Tinker 12. Each day you have five charges which can be spent to improve your tinker abilities within a specific area or theme. A single charge would make you a good tinker within an area, around Tinker 4-5. Each additional charge doubles your abilities(around a two-point bump up). A single charge in Cybernetics can have you creating robotic limbs centuries ahead of modern technology, spend some on medicine, and create a cure for cancer within the hour. All fields are applicable for this power, meaning spend some charges on Political Science and create forms of government that are overall superior to any we have on Earth. if you own the cover, please prove it to me so I can credit you. Slow romance (first time writing it) Also: AU and semi-OOC due to more realism in the story.

Frankenstein Rituals : Grimm's Rise Again Series Part 1

Frankenstein Rituals : Grimm's Rise Again Series Part 1

Logan White-Black is the main character of this story and he intends to fulfil that role by doing whatever he wants to do, even at the cost of others. Logan wakes up in a child's body, in a time that was slowly being forgotten, in a world different from his own, it's a good thing then that he already knows exactly what to do to, to become a powerful wizard after reading so many fanfic's based around the exact situation he was in. House Elf's for the win!!! ... A semi self insert of me into the world of Harry Potter, what I would do if I was reborn in that world with my memories intact. It will be a semi self insert as the MC is getting reborn into another body, not transferring over his own. This story doesn't have any lemon scene's since I'm terrible at writing them but there are mentions of such act's and actions like them, hence the R-18 tag. This also won't be a harem, even when in the beginning the main character is in a 'complicated' relationship. My end goal is a normal relationship and I have already decided as to who I would like for him to settle down with. My writing has improved since the very beginning, but that doesn't mean it is good so please have some patience when you see for yourself just how bad it really is. Hope you enjoy reading my work regardless, and I try to aim for 1 chapter a week, give or take a couple days. If you want to read ahead of the public chapters go check out my Pat reon (Up to Cha 140). I've moved this complete over to Pat reon as per what was said in the last chapter. ... World's so far : Harry Potter, Hitman : Agent 47, How I Met Your Mother, Jeepers Creepers, Jumper, The Addams Family (AU), Attack on Titan, Wanted. ... Have some idea about my story? Comment it and let me know. Paypal.me/DrakeGrimmhound Pat reon.com/DrakeGrimmhound

And… She loves someone she shouldn't love. ******** She was sent to him to retrieve the information, but her fate twisted when she fell for him... *******SNIPPET******* "Luna." She said. The girl’s eyes were so captivating that Xiao Tianyao couldn’t be able to draw his attention away from her, as though something was sucking his soul. “Beautiful…” He kept repeating the same word in his reverie. “… All the palace people from the Kingdom of Xinghe will be sentenced to death.” The eunuch added some information before he ended the decree. Afterward, the soldier from before stepped forward and was about to grab Luna’s hand with intention to drag her away, however, surprisingly Xiao Tianyao held his hand before he could touch her. “Stay away from her.” Xiao Tianyao said coldly. With puzzled expression he inquired his General action. “But, General… the decree said we have to kill her.” “I want her.” He said with finality. “But, Prince Xiao Tianyao your action is against the Imperial decree…” The eunuch retorted. Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything anymore when he helped Luna to stand up, ignoring all of the questioning eyes as he walked away with her in his embrace. Xiao Tianyao unexpected attitude baffled everyone who were presence there. *** “Prince Xiao Tianyao decision can’t be justified.” The Eunuch mumbled. “All of you retreat for now. I will try to talk with The Prince. Leader Feng Chang, follow me please.” Both Feng Chang and the Eunuch rushed into the palace hall to the direction of the Emperor of Xinghe’s room that Xiao Tianyao had occupied. When it was only the two of them, mocking smile appeared on their lips. “Inform to the Emperor that Young Miss Luna will handle it beautifully.” Feng Chang said as he slow down his pace. “Young Miss Luna ability is simply unimaginable.” The eunuch announced it in amazed. He had heard about the mind controller ability to mess with other people mind, but never saw it with his own eyes. Only when he saw Xiao Tianyao was so beguiled by Luna, he knew that the mind controller’s ability was a calamity for their enemies. Feng Chang didn’t say anything when he saw the eunuch gloated face. ********************************************* ##Meet me on instragram : jikan_yo_tomare Disclaimer : cover picture is from pinterest.com Check out my other stories: **PURPLE DUSK TILL DAWN: dearest through the time **The Love of a Lycan
