A Sorcerer's Footsteps
The mind maggots have hatched. Their little honey-coated silver tongues whispered sweet, sweet lovelies into their fleshy hosts. Only whispers though, only ever whispers and nothing more... To utter a single syllable just the tiniest bit too loud would surely frenzy their new homes, stopping them from performing their cattle-like tasks. Only one remained unnoticed by the charismatic boat flies that swarmed the lands, unseen by the eye's of nobles and peasants alike. An arcane apprentice, who mere months away from graduating to a fully-fledged magician of the empire. Without any idea as to why he was spared from the telepathic tongues of swarm, or even how they even came to be, he marches on. Forced to wander a world alone. Armed with nothing but a few spells, a gnawing feeling of hopelessness, and bushel of apples.
8 169Isekai Battle Royale: I was an MMORPG player transported into an FPS World!
Dreams are a funny thing. Brent Davies, teenage MMO junkie and light novel enthusiast, once dreamed of being transported into a fantasy world based off of a video game where he could start a new life with new skills and powers. One day, the young man’s dream comes true, but it isn’t the kind of game he was expecting. There are guns, bombs, and a bizarre pink rabbit mascot who expects him to fight the 99 other people who were brought to this new world with him. A new life of glory and riches may indeed await, but Brent will need to survive first. And maybe learn how to shoot. A LitFPS where not everything is as it seems.

8 189Eyes of the Divine (Yandere!Eyeless Jack X GN!Reader)
As a child, you were exposed to the deadly secret this world hid as fiction. You came face to face with Slenderman, an entity known for making children and adults alike vanish, as though they'd never existed.But you...you survived. After the experience, you were given the ability to see his servants, the people he'd brainwashed into becoming murder machines. You saw what you called their 'corrupt' form and their 'original' form. Despite the fact that you could see them, they never payed attention to you or the people around you.That was until you moved out to achieve your dream of being a digital researcher. After that, a particular attitude towards you changed drastically.(this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work.)
