We started off as nobodies with no purpose, money, family, just orphans. We were nothing to society. No one wanted us. Bullied, insulted, and spat on, we were called filthy rats. My sister, Debby, and I had to fend for ourselves. We slept on the streets in the cold and ate leftovers thrown away by passers-by. Surely, the experience still haunts me. We are well-off now. People bow to us and treat us like queens. They should have seen us then. I bet they would have done the same thing the others did. It’s been a journey, a sad and terrible journey. Something I wouldn’t wish for anyone...

What happens when the age of soldiers ends? When ancient power awakens and reshapes the very rules of rule? All thrones will tremble. Not all will stand.

And the moment everything warm in him died. He did not come to rise. He came to remind them. The Abyssal Frostwyrm is not dead. It is waiting.

(Please make sure to read the note at the very bottom first.) The youngest and most feared admiral in world history—Ravien Duskbane. Renowned for his brilliance as much as his ruthlessness. To him, nothing matters except power, control, and victory. But one night, he falls asleep and never wakes up. At least, not in his own world. --- When I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar room. The first thing I felt was discomfort. Luxurious silk sheets. Gold-embroidered mirrors. Heavy velvet curtains. But that wasn’t what truly unsettled me. There was a large mirror in the corner of the room. And the person staring back at me… wasn’t me. Long, blood-red hair. Eyes of the same hue. This wasn’t my body. At first, I thought it was a dream. There could be no other explanation. But then—pain. A sharp, stabbing agony piercing through my skull. And with it, memories that did not belong to me flooded my mind. The Pendragon family. Noble blood. Yet a child seen as nothing but a stain. Nameless. A half-blood. A forgotten existence. Discarded at birth. Banished to a distant land. Erased from history. By the time the pain subsided, I understood the truth. This was the world of a novel I used to read whenever I was bored. The Dark Lands. And me? I was a mere extra. A nameless shadow never even mentioned in the story. At first, I was calm. But soon, the very existence of this body made me sick. Not from anger. Not from weakness. But from the sheer revulsion of being trapped in a body that wasn’t mine. I reject this. This body does not belong to me. And I will never accept anything that isn’t mine. So I chose to die. Without hesitation, I moved. I drove my hand straight into my heart. But I didn’t die. My breath caught. I tried again. And again. Over and over. But every single time, my wounds healed. It didn’t take long to understand why. In this world, every person is born with a unique, unchanging Fate Ability. And this body's ability? "Flesh, Blood, and Bone." It regenerates endlessly. No matter how much I cut, slash, or tear myself apart—death is impossible. But there must be a way. Someone in this world must be able to kill me. And then, a name came to mind. The protagonist. Perhaps he could end me. Wait. No. I refuse to die like that. To perish at someone else's hands without a fight, without struggle… That is beneath me. I am not someone who sits around waiting for salvation. If I truly wish to die, then first, I must rise to the top. Dying without battling the strongest beings in this world would be a disgrace. So, I will start with power. First, this kingdom. Then the continent. Then the entire world. I will rule, conquer, and seize everything. If I can truly reach the peak—then the strongest will come for me. And only then will I find someone worthy enough to kill me. Could there be a more honorable death than that? ------ [General Content Warning – Please Read Before Proceeding] Dear reader, This novel touches on many shades of darkness.

[A Naruto Fan Fiction - Self-Insert OC] They say life gives you lemons. I got dropped into hell with ghost-white skin, eyes that scream 'target', and the potential for power that paints an even bigger one on my back. This world runs on blood, lies, and chakra. Child soldiers are the norm, peace is a prelude to the next massacre, and gods walk among mortals, ready to prune the timeline. My knowledge of the future is a flickering candle in a hurricane – useful, perhaps, but more likely to burn me alive. Survival isn't about friendship or ideals here. It's about control. Control of chakra, control of information, control of the monsters hiding inside and out. It's about becoming strong enough that even fate has to blink. Forget destiny. Forget heroes. This is about clawing tooth and nail through the wreckage of a preordained future, just to see another sunrise. This second life isn't a gift. It's a sentence. And I intend to survive it. What to Expect: [Calculated Progression]: Strength isn't given, it's seized. The MC leverages knowledge and desperation to climb from vulnerable child to formidable power, facing realistic setbacks and limitations. [Focused Narrative]: Follows the protagonist's perspective closely. The pace reflects the meticulous planning and gradual unfolding of events necessary for survival and manipulation. [Brutal Realism]: Combat is deadly, consequences are permanent. Explores the grim realities of the shinobi world – espionage, political maneuvering, psychological tolls, and the cheapness of life. [Altered World]:A different time-line from the original naruto. [Explored Mechanics]: Delves into the intricacies of chakra, Kekkei Genkai development, techniques and many others. Includes original concepts. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or its associated characters and settings. All rights belong to Masashi Kishimoto and related parties. Original characters and plot deviations are my own creation.

When he moved into a new apartment, hoping for a fresh start, he met his reclusive neighbor, Ryul. He was a mysterious man who avoided interaction and had scars covering half of his face, making him appear even more intimidating. They never quite got along, yet whenever Jihoon found himself in trouble, Ryul was always there to help. Just when Jihoon started to wonder if there was more to him than his rough exterior, Ryul’s persistent ex-lover returned, unwilling to let go. To put an end to the harassment, Jihoon impulsively claimed that he and Ryul were dating. What began as a simple lie soon entangled them in a relationship neither had expected, one that might change their lives forever.

The apartment building stood like a monolith on the edge of Old Rowen Street—its windows dark, its facade weathered by time and neglect. Ansel had driven past it dozens of times before, never once thinking he’d one day live there. But now, with two suitcases, a dwindling bank account, and a past he couldn’t outrun, it was home.
