A killing joke

A young man is reincarnated into the Pokémon world as Giovanni’s son and sets out to become the new boss of Team Rocket. Under the name Damian, his organization shakes the region after the Saffron City battle, where several Champions are taken out of action. Amid rumors and scandals, he’s also accused of “kidnapping” Cynthia—but Damian denies it, insisting they’re together by choice and that she’s temporarily stepped away from the Champion role

The Spirit Trials follows Mark Lydo, a boy from a poor but caring family in a world where power is gained by bonding with spirits from the astral realm. At sixteen, individuals are tested for their compatibility with this realm, those who succeed can form spirit bonds and train to become stronger, while others remain ordinary. Mark’s life is upended when his city is destroyed by monsters, leaving him as the sole survivor of his family. Driven by grief and anger, he forms an impossible pact with a mysterious spirit named Finn Silver, gaining the chance to pursue strength and revenge. He travels to a distant country to attend a prestigious academy, where he trains, competes, and begins to uncover the dangers of both the world and the powers he now holds. As Mark grows stronger, he faces increasingly difficult challenges from rival students to deadly monsters, and learns that larger forces may be behind the destruction he seeks to avenge. ----------------------------------------------------------- Release schedule: Daily This story is also available on RoyalRoad and Patreon.

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

Reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters, Victor didn't become a heroic knight or an all-powerful Archmage. Instead, he woke up as the Principal of the Abyssal Academy—a bankrupt, crumbling school for the continent's worst villains, dark mages, and assassins. The teachers are embezzling funds. The students are trying to assassinate him daily. And the "Heroes of Light" are planning to raid the school and execute everyone in thirty days. But Victor isn't sweating. In his past life, he was a ruthless corporate tycoon, and he just awakened the [Tycoon's Ledger] System. He doesn't need to fight with magic; he fights with capitalism. A student tries to stab him? Victor survives and charges them a 5,000 Gold "Practical Exam Fee." The Heroes of Light are invading the campus? Victor sells the broadcasting rights to the Demon Realm and opens a massive betting pool. Armed with his ledger, a cold heart, and a brilliant mind, Victor is about to show the magical world that the most terrifying power isn't a Tier-9 Fireball. It's compound interest. Welcome to the Abyssal Academy. Your tuition is due.

> Hello! Thank you so much for your interest, I really appreciate it. But I need to be honest with you — this story wasn’t supposed to be published yet. It was still in development and was only meant to be released after I finished my other works. Unfortunately, someone accessed my account without permission and published it early, out of order, and without my consent. I'm already working on fixing the situation, but I wanted to make it clear that this release was not authorized by me. I’m really glad you're excited about the story, and when the right time comes, it will be launched properly — the way it was meant to be. Thank you for your understanding and for supporting my work. After waking up in a strange, empty place, I saw a floating robot introducing itself as Rob. As a nerd, I immediately imagined I'd be reincarnated in One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball, or maybe even High School DxD. But then, Rob dropped the bombshell: I was going to be reincarnated in Twilight... as Bella Swan’s brother. Memories of endless teenage drama, awkward glances, and vampire love triangles flooded my mind. I groaned, trying to convince Rob to have mercy on me and not send me to that nightmare world. "Please, Rob," I begged. "Anything but Twilight. I can’t handle that kind of drama." Rob paused for a moment, analyzing my desperation. Then, surprisingly, it offered a solution.
