Summary
"I was right there!" - Astarion.
Sometimes seeking out new experiences might not what you expecting. After installing a secret mod, I found myself within the Forgotten Realms, for real, fighting for my life and for those adorable companions that we meet along the way.
It is also said that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing as events depicted within a video game aren't necessarily going to be the ones you are expecting to encounter. Starting with a heavily modded custom honour mode run might not have been the smartest idea after all. Still, I get to meet and be with the amazing people who just need a little help from a friend.
A/N ~ if you are reading this you've most likely played the game and will have a good idea as to what happens within the progression of the game.
This is an ongoing, serialised novel that seeks to cover the majority of the story.
A first person narrative which I've chosen to create, taking a journey where the parameters of the game no longer matter or are applicable. The encounters and major events of BG3 are mostly the same as you would expect yet circumstances and choices made in the story drastically alter future events and outcomes.
Enjoy

Summary
When a routine mission through the Void takes a disastrous turn, a lone Tenno finds himself stranded in a universe not his own—one without Orokin tech, without allies, and teeming with unstable powers called "parahumans." Cut off from the Origin System and with no way home, the Operator must adapt, infiltrate, and survive in this fractured new world. But Earth-Bet has secrets of its own and not all of them are eager to stay buried.
Caught between old instincts and new rules, one Tenno walks the thin line between Warrior and Hero, searching for a path back while leaving a mark that won't be easily forgotten.

Summary
Una línea alterna a la historia de los primarcas de Warhammer 40k. Cada uno de los hijos del emperador sufrieron destinos diferentes, definidos por los lugares y sociedades en las que creció cada uno. Entonces ¿Qué pasaría si este inicio hubiese sido distinto? ¿Que sería de Macrage sin Guilliman? ¿Cómo hubiese sido Angron sin los clavos del carnicero? El destino es cruel a veces, y puede que aquellos que hubiesen sido grandes, vean escapar ese futuro por los caprichos del universo. Esta es una historia en la que aquel que llegó a obtener la gloria en otra línea temporal, ahora será convertido en un chiste cruel, y aquel cuya existencia fue una tragedia, tenga ahora lo que nunca se le permitió. Esta no será una historia de herejías, sino algo diferente. Pero a pesar de que ya no llegue a ocurrir aquello que sumió a la galaxia en llamas, puede que el final de todo termine resultando más oscuro que un universo donde sólo existe la guerra.

Summary
Just yesterday, I was minding my own business, living a peaceful life, but I was killed by a stool. Well, who knew? Perhaps calling those guys "DoWerasts" was a bit of a stretch...
In any case, after death, it wasn't hell that awaited me, but something worse: a distant, bleak future and Tzeentch, who granted me the power of endless reincarnation, effectively immortality. It sounds good, but in practice... in the distant, dark future, there is only war and forty thousand ways to die in the name of someone else's goals. -

Summary
[Dark Slavic Fantasy | Grimdark & Gore ] WEEKLY UPDATES: THURSDAYS
Nayden's fingers slipped on his slashed side, blood leaking between them.
"This is only... a test," the boy rasped, staring at the ash-choked sky. "The Light will..."
The Whisperer stepped back, avoiding the sticky red cobblestones.
"The puddle beneath you has a different opinion," he noted dryly. "Your god is silent. With a hole in your gut, you have minutes left. Try not to bleed on my boots."The Gods didn’t just abandon us. They left us to be eaten.
When a failed ritual summons the Zmey, prayers to Perun become worth less than gutter mud. The age-old war between the Solar Order and the Whisperers fades into the background.
Nayden, a soldier who survived by a "pathetic error," must ally with his enemy. The cynical Whisperer, hiding his magic's toll behind a mask, sees the boy as an anomaly to be ruthlessly used—or broken.
Surviving this rotting world is merely the beginning. Within their forced alliance lurks a darker psychological game of sadistic devotion and toxic manipulation, ready to devour them both.
Or: Body horror, collateral damage, and heroes who are just monsters with better PR.

Summary
Mahoutokoro doesn't teach you magic. It teaches you how to be a weapon.
Kieran Morgan returned to Britain as a stranger, bearing the cold discipline of the Jade Halls and the invisible scars of a tragedy he refuses to name. To the students of Hogwarts, he is an enigma—a boy who bows too low, speaks too formally, and moves with the lethal precision of a predator.
He wanted to survive his final years in the shadows. He didn't expect Hermione Granger.
Guided by her relentless sense of justice and a memory of the boy Kieran used to be, Hermione is the only one who refuses to look away from his trembling hands and haunted eyes. As the Triwizard Tournament turns the school into a political minefield, she becomes his unlikely bridge back to humanity.
But with ancient conspiracies stirring and the graveyard calling, Kieran’s deadly skills might be the only thing keeping his friends alive—if his own broken psyche doesn't shatter first.
What to expect:
A grounded, psychological take on the Wizarding World.
Slow-burn, canon-compliant character dynamics (In-depth Hermione).
High-stakes action rooted in Mahoutokoro discipline.
No Harem. No easy fixes for trauma.
