《I should care because?》Naming ceremony (edited)
Advertisement
I awoke early in the morning, right before the maids came to check on me. I got a book from my nightstand and started reading. If you must know, I long gave up on exercising. Who cares what that old man says, besides she should be busy with other things.
That was before objects came falling at me and I lamented at my life. Ah, back then I didn't have to do any of these things. Dodging came easy in a way, I was used to the stillness of my surroundings in my past life, so of course every movement in the air felt foreign and easily felt by me. By then I had to give up on reading the book, though I still clutched it in my hand less a sword fell and stabbed it through the middle. I wouldn't say that that would be the first time it happened.
"Wake up brat!' the maid yelled harshly. I slowly got out of bed, if I didn't she would probably slap me. It would be easy to dodge, but that would create too much attention. She tossed me a dress and headed out of the room.
Ah, I wonder what made her like this today. She was a maid with a rather harsh temper, but that was just her. Perhaps her husband cheated on her again, dare I say that she should've just broken up with him.
Hmm, she should be fired, but who am I to say anything. But truly, she is too violent, perhaps she's just too delicate for this world.
Time skip
I waited patiently for the doors to open, and when they did, I was met with the sight of half the nobles standing on the sides of the red carpet which led to my parents and a large crystal ball. I heard gasps when some of the nobles saw my face.

I gracefully walked towards my parents, who were smiling brightly at me. They didn't visit often but they were still loving. I sent a small smile at them which made their smiles brighten even more. I curtsied to both father and mother then kneeled down in front of them.
"I dub my daughter Silence Pendegraft," Father said with a smile. I felt the weight of a sword on my right shoulder, then my left.
How ironic that my name didn't seem to have changed. My title has stayed the same, perhaps it is Fate's doing, I do wonder how he himself is doing.
"You may rise," father said. I got on my feet and mother gestured towards the crystal ball.
"Pour your mana into this crystal ball," my mother said. I placed my hands on the ball and poured a drop of my mana into the ball, which then shone a faint light. Half of it was blue and the other white. I knew what it meant, I had the two weakest magick in this world. At least, that was what they believed. This was a simple world, there are some things they have not yet graped, it is inevitable that they would think this way. I looked to my parents whose eyes turned cold and distant. That is, if you didn't look too closely. Hmm, most likely for my protection.
This was a world ruled by the strong, though there is a monarchy, the stronger you were then the more control you had. It wasn't rare for a few beings to have more power than the monarchy, though they weren't interested in political affairs. Besides, the monarchy had the power of the people behind them. Of course, that was a double edged sword.
"Out," my father commanded in an icy tone, his gaze directed at...those behind me. Yes, great beauty is terrible. What can I say? I was just too beautiful for this world, it would be fine if I were a commoner, but as for now.... Ah the heir, me, is too weak yes? Many factions would mostly start to clauber my father, how pitiful, perhaps I shouldn't have done this.

Being cold to me, would only bring good and no evil. This way, the chances of me getting kidnapped in order to get my father to surrender would only get smaller. If I seemed to have no value to my parents, then what was the point in spending money to use me as ransom?

Skyclad

Now if only she could find some clothes... Cover art by SourMonkey and Tox DISCLAIMER: This story has multiple characters and different points of view. Morgan is the main protagonist but she does not move through an empty world. This is a bigger story than just one main character fighting the monster of the week.
8 152I Became a [Biologist] in a Fantasy World!
I loved Biology - always have, and always will. Unfortunately for me, years of fruitless research whittled away what little joy I had left in what I did. Escapism came in the form of reading isekai works, where the stresses of real life seemed so far away.Luckily, I was summoned to a fantasy world of magic, dragons, and other mythical beasts. I didn't even need to deal with the Demon Lord threat, since it seemed that my summoning was a mistake, and all they needed was the Hero who was coincidentally summoned together with me! There was no revenge subplot, no hidden trap directed against me, and they even paid me compensation for their mistake. At long last, I could finally do what I ever wanted to do - experiment for the fun of it!With my new class as a [Biologist], none of this fantasy world's mysteries will be left untouched. Even if the Demon Lord himself comes knocking, nothing will stop me from researching every nook and cranny there is to discover of the magical biology of this world! ----I write extremely casually, and purely for leisure. Updates will likely be irregular, depending on when inspiration strikes and whether I can spare the time to work on this. Don't expect too much out of this, and certainly not anything close to professional quality! Inspired by an overconsumption of Japanese light novels, manga, and anime... expect their influence to slowly but surely take hold.
8 213Overture of an Odyssey
Awakened in a dungeon by a voice calling him "Harbinger", Hyx had no recollection of his memories prior to this peculiar situation. There are only two things he remembers, his name and he comes from earth. Facing the countless aberrations of the dungeon, he came to realize he is not on earth anymore. Now faced with such reality filled with dangerous monsters, hostile environments and difficult choices, his humanity and morals will be hanging on a thin blur line between black and white if he wishes to survive. This is a story of a seemingly normal human's transformation into a monster. A tale of a boy's rising among terrors of the foulest. An overture of a tragic and epic odyssey. A/N: This is a novel inspired by japanese light novels and web novels. Also, I'm not really good at English as it is not my first language. I am aware of the grammar mistakes and inconsistency in my writing. Please pardon me for this and by all means, point out any mistakes spotted. I will be grateful for that.

8 238Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
