《I'm in Free! Iwatobi Swim Club?》Chapter 2

Yes. You had short, (hair color), shaggy hair, a rather nice build, and a sexy face. You were dressed in the school's uniform and you noticed it fit nicely. 'Oh gosh. I'm falling in love with myself!' You thought as Gou walked up. "So... how do you like my work?" You just blushed as she continued. "Oh, and other characters don't know about me or any other worlds. Including your own. So don't say anything. Okay. Let's get your schedule and then I'll introduce you to the guys." Turns out you had all of the same classes as Gou, and a few also had one or two of the swim club members. Gou was leading you to the pool when you heard a loud whine. "Rei-chan! Why can't you just heal already!?" Followed by some exasperated yelling. "Nagisa. It will take approximately two weeks, one day, and four hours for my ankle to heal completely. And why do you still call us Chan?" Then someone intervined. "Guys calm down. I'm sure Gou can find someone." And then a splash. "Haru! Couldn't you wait!?" We turned the corner and all eyes went to you. The blush couldn't have been stopped. But luckily you had Gou. "Guys, this is (name). He can fill in for Rei at the competition!" Nagisa beamed. "Wow! He has a girly name too! It must be destiny!" Rei sighed, Makoto smiled and waved, and Haru just went back to swimming. 'Jeez Haru. Why is my favorite character so rude?' You thought as you inwardly sighed. Nagisa started pulling you to the locker rooms after Gou handed you a duffel bag. Makoto followed. After being assigned a locker you finally peeked into Gou's bag. 'A boy's swimsuit? But- oh wait...' you turned around and yelped as they had both started changing. "What is it (name)-Chan?" Nagisa asked. 'Oh right. This is normal. I'm a guy so it isn't wrong that they're changing in front of me. Wait, so I change too? Oh Jeez. This is really awkward.' You thought."It's nothing." You said as you headed to the bathroom. You pulled your shirt off and admired your abs for a moment. 'Just like the other swim club members' You fangirled for a moment before quickly changing. At the beginning of practice, All three of the swimmers practiced in their style of swimming and then it was your turn. You dived just like you did at your real school, and began swimming. You found it so much easier with these guy muscles. And were still testing them out when you finished your laps. Everyone was staring at you. "What? Did I mess up?" You asked. Rei spoke up from his bench. "Far from it. You did amazing! How do you swim at such speeds while maintaining your form that well?" You fought the blush, since even Haru was impressed. "Well, I've been swimming since I was five-" you began before Nagisa interrupted, "Then how come we've never seen you as kids? The only swim club from around that time was the one me, Haru, and Makoto went to. And now that I think about it, how come i've never seen you around this school either?" You desperately searched for an answer but Gou had your back. "He just transferred here from America." But Nagisa was still curious. "Then how does he speak Japanese so well?" 'I'm speaking Japanese?' You thought. But once again, Gou was there. "He studied it before coming here." Which finally satisfied Nagisa. You sighed in relief. 'This week is going to be tough.' You thought. While walking to the apartment Gou said you could use, your phone buzzed in your pocket. Your best friend was calling. 'Does reception even work in animes?' You answered nonetheless and she was ecstatic. "(Name)! Have you watched the new episode of Free!? They just came out with the second season today and in episode one, Rei hurt his ankle and Gou found a new swimmer with your name!!! How swag is that!! And he looks and acts like you! Do you know the writer or something? And where are you, I stopped by your house but no one was there." Oh jeez. "You wouldn't believe me if i told you." "Try me" you sighed and made a cover story. "Im helping the writer make new episodes and in return I'm a guy on the show." "No way that is too cool! Talk to you later then!" You hated lying, but what else could you say?

Decompose!
Dear diary. When you read stories about some people missing and returning after years of absence claiming they were living in another world, your first reaction is to scoff and dismiss a story as a tall tale, right? I know I did. All the time. Until it happened to me and I no longer did. That day was today. Some god of thunder smote me. If it were Chris Hemsworth, I wouldn't mind but it was some barbaric Hitite god that abaondned Earth some four millennia ago. Yes, what can I say? I love the seventh art. I have more hours watching movies than any other activity, including sleep. What? Do you think I'm exaggerating? Maybe I am. I'll really miss hollywood the most. And my biggest regret is that I never got to visit the holy city of cinema. I did not come to another world to be a hero even though there was hints that they hoped I'd save it. I did not come with overpowered abilities able to, dunno, leap tall castles in a single bound, faster than a speeding crossbow bolt, be more powerful than a eight-horse carriage, the bounds. No. After the asshole god that murdered me brought me to his world, he gave me some boons from his discount bin and "The Power of my Soul (tm)". Forgive my french, I hope you understand I am rather upset at dying. And he somehow decided that my power is to recycle stuff. How awesome is that? Not much at first, I must admit. At least I got all my camping stuff and equipment with me. There's no lycra in the other world. I'll make it someday, but that day is not today. So here I am. In another world, in the middle of nowhere. I'm no heroine. As the song goes, I'm your basic average girl. And I'm assumed to be here to save the world. But almost everything can stop me, because I'm not named Kim. Wish me luck, diary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This novel is going have the following features: slow-paced slice-of-life No GameLit / LitRPG elements. Movie references. Sandra likes the seventh art. Journal / diary style crafting (includes chemistry, engineering and metallurgy) low magic technological advancement (for Sandra, at least. She is not against sharing though) personal relations clash of perception between the modern and ancient customs. bits of tension, fighting, and plot here and there. I won't repeat myself though. Once she crafts a good batch of soap, for example, she'll just note, "I crafted soap again." Once it is estabilished how she obtains compound X, compound X2 that is obtainable from the same process will also just be mentioned. I'll try to be as realistic as I can with the crafting, chemistry, and technology. Cover: Public Domain Image by StockSnap from Pixabay. No attribution required but we do it anyway.

A biomechanical engineer, fed up of society builds himself a robotic body based on his complete knowledge of the human body. Upon transfering his consciousness to the new body in a process of manual reincarnation, he or rather the humanoid is transferred to another world. Spoiler: Author Note This is basically a novel for fun so don't expect a regular schedule but at the same time if this gathers a lot of interest, I will do my best to update it so that I can meet a regular schedule.
8 62World Renewal Project
Joshua Campbell -- just your regular nobody. A geek who spends more time playing games on his phone, than he does interacting with the rest of the world. Definitely not a guy who might end up having to save the world from God's "World Renewal Project". Definitely not someone who might end up becoming a hero, forming an endless harem, and become recognized as the most powerful, most perfect, most exceptional hero of humanity! Definitely not!! Or, is there more to the story of his life, which not even he is aware of at the moment??
8 116Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
8 120Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday
