The Redman's Game

In a world where destiny is not a choice but a shadow that devours, a boy with no name, hunted by the death of the only person who ever believed in him, Dot wanders a brutal continent, searching for answers… and for a reason to keep living. Joined by a cynical mercenary, a guilt-ridden chain-wielding rogue, and a defiant young noblewoman, Dot becomes the unwilling center of a gathering storm. Gods stir. Ancient bloodlines awaken. A conquering Monarch rises in the north, while the Allthing secretly breeds living weapons to maintain their iron order. As the lines between monster and man blur, Dot must confront a devastating question: Is he fighting to protect what little he has left… or is he simply becoming the very force that will end everything? In a tale of cycles, guilt, found family, and the terrible cost of strength, one broken boy will either break the wheel of fate — or be consumed by it.

Reborn in the Mist

Jason knew how he was going to die next. He's been Yagura for a month now and there's a Tailed-Beast living inside him, he knew how he was going to die next. Nobody wants to die, not even those that have done it before. Navigating the world as Yagura Karatachi, Elite Jounin of Kirigakure and Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Beast would be dangerous enough on its own but as a Kage-candidate for Fourth Mizukage, he's far too attractive for the likes of Obito and Madara to ignore. The true Yagura is destined for a near decade under Obito's genjutsu and his village the piggybank of the Akatsuki's plans. He can't let that happen and not just because he's caught up in it now. *** Allo, just wanna say this fanfic is my second go at envisioning a character in the position of supreme power; Kage. As Kages don't regularly do missions and violence often comes to them instead, there will be fewer fight scenes until Yagura/Jason begin to face the big threat to the Shinobi world. As such I'll mostly be exploring what *right* decisions Kirigakure could have taken and the challenges to those decisions post 3rd shinobi war, as well as trying to pre-empt Obito's Akatsuki with the current Kages; Onoki, Ay, Rasa, and Hiruzen/Minato. As an aspect of the fic, it will be very Yagura/Kiri-centric with other villages and characters having interlude chapters in between. I am taking this route because, well, it's interesting and I want to discover more of what Kirigakure and its Legendary Swordsmen could have been. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

The warrior of ashes: Tales of the chaos

In a world on the brink of destruction where myths and legends blur together, a prophecy remains the only perspective for the future. It foretells the ultimate struggle between good and evil—the destruction or the salvation of the world—born from the blade brandished by the Warrior of Ashes. However, for Thiongane soldiers like Pierre, this story is nothing more than a tale, a tall story. Amidst the constant horrors and the permanent anguish felt during every new battle against the Djinns for three centuries, they have never seen even a shadow of these Boechins and their radiant powers. And Pierre’s only experience with the gods had long since convinced him that they should expect no favorable divine intervention. But whether one believes it or not changes nothing. Despite himself, Pierre finds himself in the heart of the most tragic and ferocious battle he has ever known, unaware that it is the fruit of manipulations by entities beyond all human conception. And in the ashes of this tragedy, the story of a boy was meant to begin. The first cog in a cruel destiny whose mechanism seems unstoppable. The first prisoner of a web already woven. Georges Badji.

Hit Kiss and Run!

[The adventure of a former secret military operative and a content creator with an insatiable thirst for sensation is only just beginning. Everyone, grab your snacks!] Janya stared at Orn as if the girl had just saved the world—with nothing but lip balm. “Seriously? You brought face powder to a freaking firefight?” she muttered, counting the last few bullets in her magazine. Orn smiled and patted her own cheek. “I’m not dying ugly!” Janya let out a deep sigh and glanced at the girl beside her, who was busy applying lipstick. “What kind of stupid logic is that?!” “Content creator logic.” Orn winked. “Trauma first, go viral later, P’Kirin.” Janya briefly stared up at the sky as bullets whizzed towards them. For a split second, she considered giving up on life altogether. “If we make it out alive,” she said quietly, “I’m leaving you in the middle of the jungle. For real this time!”

This isn't the otherworld I imagined

Mark always imagined being summoned to another world would lead to an incredible adventure. A legendary weapon, extraordinary powers, perhaps even a grand quest to defeat a Demon Lord, you know the usual. Instead, he gets three ordinary abilities, a mysterious book, and a kingdom with a rather unusual problem: its population is declining. As if that weren't enough, the summoning gateway breaks, leaving Mark stranded in a world he never asked to visit. Now he must learn to survive in a place where his expectations are practically useless, his abilities aren't quite what he hoped for, and the kingdom's problems may be far more complicated than they appear.

The Vilainouss Duchess steals Everything

Da-young was South Korea’s finest agent. Accustomed to dangerous missions, betrayal, and death, she had nevertheless believed that she had finally found someone she could trust. But during her final mission in Afghanistan, the man she loved betrayed her and condemned her to die. As she drew her final breath, a single thought crossed her mind: “So this is how my life ends... If I ever get another life, I’ll never believe in love again.” But death was not the end. Da-young awakens in a completely different world, inside the body of Stella Von Thalion, the legitimate heir to a powerful ducal house. Stella once had everything a young noblewoman could ever desire: a title, an inheritance, and an important place within her family. But everything was taken from her. Accused of a crime she did not commit, Stella was humiliated before the nobility. Her own father refused to believe her. Her stepmother despised her. And her half-sister, Angelia, the woman who pretended to be sweet and innocent, gradually took everything that belonged to Stella. Her title. Her inheritance. Her place within the family. And even the man who had once been destined to stand by her side. Eventually, Stella was sentenced to exile, far from the capital and everyone she knew. But when Da-young discovers Stella’s memories, she quickly realizes that Stella was never the true villain of this story. She was simply the perfect victim. And Da-young refuses to suffer the same fate. Now, she is Stella. A new life begins. A new Stella—colder, more determined, and above all, far more dangerous. She also possesses something no one in this world knows about: her grandmother’s ring. A mysterious ring capable of summoning whatever objects she desires, though its powers still hide countless secrets. With her experience as an agent, her knowledge of the modern world, her mysterious power, and her newfound magical potential, Stella decides to completely change her circumstances. First, she will take back control of the Von Thalion Duchy. Then, she will reclaim her inheritance. And finally, she will bring down, one by one, everyone who played a part in her downfall. But Stella does not simply want revenge. She wants to build something that belongs entirely to her. She no longer needs her father’s approval. She no longer needs the Emperor’s love. She no longer needs the nobility’s recognition. Everything that was stolen from her will return to her hands. And while Angelia continues to play the role of the perfect empress before the court, Stella silently prepares for her return. Because this time, the former victim will not ask for justice. She will take it herself. They exiled her, believing she would disappear. They forgot one thing. A true villainess does not need to be loved. She only needs to become powerful enough that everyone is forced to respect her. I am Stella Von Thalion. And I’m going to take everything back.

But beneath the whispers, the shame, and the doors closed against her lies something far more unsettling than her appearance. Something that should have remained forgotten. In a world where a single voice can change everything, Shelly will discover that being silenced and being powerless are not the same thing. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Singing has always been a part of her life, but there are moments when her own voice feels strangely unfamiliar—as though it carries something she has yet to understand.

Inspired by the masterpiece Reverend Insanity, Desire was once an ordinary human from Earth who was abruptly ripped away from his modern life and thrown into the brutal, lawless world of the Myriad Edge Continent. In his first life, he lived through misery, betrayal, and relentless struggle. For six hundred and fifty years, he shed every trace of useless sympathy, moral weakness, and naive emotion. He learned that in a world ruled by strength and swords, only personal benefits and eternal life truly matter. He schemed against righteous sects, butchered demonic path masters, and climbed over mountains of corpses to reach the peak of mortal power, only to perish under the siege of countless enemies before he could step into the immortal ranks. Yet death was not his end. Carrying six hundred and fifty years of memories, cruel wisdom, and complete knowledge of future events, Desire awakens in his youthful body on the very day he first arrived on the Myriad Edge Continent. Surrounded by bewildered mortals who still cling to illusions of justice and modern ethics, Desire looks at the vast world with eyes as cold as ancient ice. He does not seek revenge, nor does he care for petty hatred. He cares only for one absolute goal: cultivating the supreme sword arts to attain true immortality. To achieve this, he will manipulate friends and foes alike, sacrifice entire kingdoms, and exploit every resource without hesitation.

Imagine dying on Earth and waking up mid-chase—hunted by armed guards and a man riding a horse big enough to be a monster... Well, that's what happens to Edric. Survival is Edric Veyra’s only priority… until he learns the truth. He didn’t reincarnate into a nobody. He woke up as Edric Veyra, last heir to a fallen house that once helped found the kingdom itself. A house now reduced to whispers, half-remembered stories, and something people would rather forget. Before he can make sense of it, a System activates—less a blessing, more a forced tutorial. Fragments of the original Edric’s memories flood in, incomplete and unsettling, as if someone tore pages out of his past. Along with them comes a weapon that shouldn’t exist anymore: a rune-engraved flintlock capable of firing elemental shots, a relic of techniques long buried. Hunted by beasts, criminals, and forces that seem far too interested in whether House Veyra stays dead, Edric is left with one question that refuses to let him run forever: What really happened to House Veyra—and who made sure it fell? To find the answer, he’ll need to grow stronger, form uneasy alliances, and survive long enough to uncover a truth powerful enough to erase a founding pillar of the nation.
