Sulphur & Lightning

Osu. The word meant outcast. A creature lower than all his peers and set apart by the gods. The world of Reigina, disparate in its races and traditions, still maintained a universal treatment for such souls. Born into this world as one such creature, Elijah Brimstone must navigate the muddy waters of a society that despises him and unravel the tangled threads of his past that shaped who—and what—he is. Secret beings. Arcane texts. Mysterious metals. Who could sound the depths of such a world? Was he on a fool's errand or on the stairway to Heaven? WHAT TO EXPECT: Well-researched cultivation. Western alchemy. Authentic African folklore and culture. Cosmic horror Competent main character with clear limitations. Lots of action. Unique array system. Industrial age fiction. Sulphur & Lightning combines Eastern and Western Alchemy traditions with Nigerian and African folklore to present a story that's both familiar and foreign. Lycans. Elves. Cultivation. Sorcery. Clans. Castes. Everything you're used to in fantasy, and more.

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.

Finding himself alone in a forest that is clearly not on Earth, he must learn to navigate this new world and more importantly, the System that governs it.

He'll conquer dungeons, discover runes and be drawn into battles against enemies he didn't even know he had, all while making new friends along the way. Torn between returning to his old life and the friends he left behind, or making a new home in this world filled with magic, he will have to decide where his heart truly lies.

Read on KU: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCW5F55J He read the novel no one else would, and now had a System to show for it. Merlin Tyrrell’s favorite web novel, Singularity Mage, came to an end, and with it his dream of getting into one of the most prestigious Mage Academies on Earth. Evaluated as Deficient—a Mage who could cast no spells—Merlin could only watch as his wish to be able to protect those he loved from the dangers Dungeons and Towers posed was snatched away from his finger tips. That was, until the author of Singularity Mage sent him a gift for being his sole reader until the end: the System of the novel’s protagonist, and his greatest Skill: Reader Mage Now possessing the ability to analyze and deconstruct spells on the fly, maybe—just maybe—Merlin can finally achieve his goal and end up becoming the greatest Mage to ever exist.

Reilfear

He had never believed in fantasy. All tales of heroism and righteousness, destiny, they always felt like lies. Where force rules all, law is but the mirage. After being abused, isolated, and plagued by misfortunes in his youth, he knew only one truth: the powerful always got whatever they wanted. Then one calm New Year's day, reality began to fall apart. Individuals vanish. Cities collapse. The sky shatters like a pane of glass. And an inexplicable, luminescent blue phrase lights up: "This world has been written." The entire world began to be systematically erased, but as for him, he was unaffected, like an overlooked error the world failed to delete. Standing amidst this collapsing reality, he confronts the horrifying question: "What if the world has never truly existed? And, was I not meant to be in it in the first place?"

The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could rewrite the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they truly deserved? I was just another failed author, writing stories that nobody read and that never sold. Seeking to improve my craft, I picked up the most popular novel of the time, “Solo Player”, hoping to learn what made it so successful. Yet as I read, frustration grew inside me. The story’s development was promising, but its ending was truly awful. Then, quite bitterly, the moment I finished the book, I found myself transmigrated into its world. Did I become the protagonist? A villain? Or perhaps even an extra? No. It was far worse than I could have imagined. I had become the most worthless character in the entire novel, someone nobody ever cared about. A character readers saw only as fuel for the protagonist’s growth, his greatest burden, and the person every reader hated. “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my complete knowledge of the novel’s events, my worthlessness was about to change. I had decided not only to become the strongest but also to rewrite the story’s terrible ending. “I won’t let you go inside a dungeon. It’s too dangerous.” …As long as I could get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way. And for some reason, the Constellations would not stop bothering me. [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1,000,000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right at your face!] There was clearly something wrong with the Constellations this time. [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2,000,000 Plot Points and fully healed all your wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her and gifted you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but demands more!] [He has sponsored you with 500,000 Plot Points and the [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply could not stop showering me with gifts, as if I were some famous streamer performing for their entertainment. “I am grateful, but please… just leave me alone already…”
