Float Like a Stone — an Iwa Story

by Poncho_o

Illogical? Maybe. But since when did reincarnation make sense? A better question; of all the nations in this godforsaken world, why the hell was I reborn in Iwagakure no freakin’ Sato? And right in time for the Third Shinobi War? Seems like I have two options. Become Iwa’s answer to the Yellow Flash, or pray for a second reincarnation. At least I have the power of the Gamer on my side…wait. I don't? GOD DA— [OC, Subversion of the Gamer Trope]

If I had to be isekaid to a JRPG with harem, can't I be the harem protag instead of a harem member?

by FengLengshun, randomguy13

"Yeah, I want to put someone in the role of a character in this JRPG franchise I'm playing. You know for shits and giggles, and out of around 120 people that died in the same minute as you, your name was picked randomly", so said god to me about a JRPG with harem that I know nothing about. "Okay god, if you're going to isekai me there, can't you at least have the decency to let me be the harem protag?" And god replied, "lol, no"

In conclusion

by Not_A_Good_Doctor

Arasaki Hifumi was a fairly average woman. At 24 years old, she had long curly dark blue hair, stood at a respectable 5 feet 6 inches, and had a bust size she would regrettably prefer not to say aloud.She, like the vast majority of the world's population, had a quirk. It was aptly called Conclusion, and was fairly straightforward. She was able to tell if something was true or not if she made a deduction.A weak quirk that would somehow upend Hero society.

Life is a Kusoge

by Kageka

Intelligence was a stat. Charisma was a stat. Luck was a stat. All these numbers congealed to form a path and the world marched down it steadily. Victory goes to the one who calculates the farthest down the winding little lane. This world may have a fancy interface, fantastical creatures and larger-than-life heroes but it was business and politics as usual.

Ranma 1/2

Minus One Plus One

by ayellowbirds

It was a pretty common trope in manga and light novels, around the time I got sick. A character in a fantasy world has an accident or gets sick, and either realizes they had reincarnated from another life in another world, or winds up getting a reincarnated isekai'd soul newly layered onto theirs. I'd read a dozen stories like that.I just never expected to wind up in one myself, and especially not in the world of Ranma ½.

What makes a human?

by Tharapita

DMC 0 - the Sparda prequel we never got.2000 years ago, Sparda was not as he is today. He was like any other demon, cruel, unfeeling, power-obsessed, and callous. Something happened. Something happened within Sparda. Something happened that wrenched the course of history onto an entirely different track. It did not happen quickly, and it did not happen with huge fanfares. It is not within the legends told. But that does not mean it is a story not worth telling. Today it is told. This is the tale of how exactly The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda 'woke up to justice', and why exactly he rebelled.
