But now, she has acquired the power to seek out answers. Answers from the violent, cruel, lonely, and war-torn world around her. A long and twisting journey begins with the backdrop the Second Shinobi World War!... more>>

[UPDATE: ]
- Slice of Life is here for a reason. Things change pace at varying speed, but I'm in this for the long haul. Please Enjoy!

Some Important Notes: (Wall of Text which you might find relevant)
============================================================
- This series is a Naruto Fanfic, so it already targets a somewhat niche audience. It'll likely be more fun to have some familiarity with the Naruto world. That said, this is just my indulgence, so I'd be very pleased if you got some enjoyment out of it regardless.
- This is Not Isekai, it's a sort of AU (because it's an earlier time period) with a few added OCs (because it's free real estate)
- Doubtless some elements will be awkward/cringe when expressed in English. I feel your pain.
========Other Notes:
- I do not own Naruto. This is purely a derivative work.
- Think of this as a drafted version. I proofread a lot to keep up the quality, but I always seem to miss something. If you find grammatical or formatting errors, please let me know (Comment?) and I'll fix it.
- As for Tagging: It's currently accurate, but I'll add more if they get relevant. I haven't finished writing, after all.
- As for Content Warnings: I honestly don't know what all will be there yet, but I have a lot of ideas so I included it all to be safe. Fair Warning. Intended audience is ~17/18+ so I'm just following the guidelines.
- No official release schedule since I work full-time and you never know. This may change.
- Multi-genre, a little bit of all the things I like. More may come.
*******
- I do not own the Cover art, I only edited overlays for it.

Born into prestige and gifted with talent, Pascal was a promising officer cadet whose deeds caught even the King's gaze. At the mere age of twenty, he had everything a young, ambitious man could need to begin a promising career.... more>>

Except his habitual arrogance had destroyed every opportunity of a close friendship outside his political marriage.

Seeking a companion who meets his protracted list of requirements, Pascal decided to craft the 'perfect spell' for the upcoming familiar ceremony. If those around him were not fit to accompany his genius, then he would summon a best friend through his own hands -- one that was mature, intelligent, knowledgeable, bright, and cute as well.

He received far more than he bargained for... and in turn, so did the shifting geopolitical power balance of his world.

Disclaimer:

This is not a power-fantasy or the usual 'feel-good' story you might find on this site. If you feel that a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises due to difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you.

Daybreak is a story that delves into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that makes me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality.

Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:
- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy
- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics
- [Magical Technology]: how magic changes the sociotechnological evolution of civilization in a high-fantasy world
- [Genderbender]: exploration of gender identity, gender role, and discussion of social expectations
- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims

This story is primarily hosted on my blog -- https://samaran-daybreak.com/ -- where all the art/map assets can be found as well as the latest chapters. <<less

Born a fatherless bastard and with an impoverished, ravaged Province to Govern, Nox ZaiWin has more than enough on his plate.

And so yeah, the last thing he wanted was to become some Celestial's Chosen One.

And is that even a Celestial? Hasn't the brat just murdered more than one-hundred of his men with a single scream? Aren't Celestials supposed to be holy, pure beings, that abhor all forms of death and killing?

No other choice! No matter how sinful it may be, the brat must die!

Snow has lived most of his life locked in a dark room, explored and sold for his miraculous blood. There are a lot of things he does not understand about the outside world. But one thing is certain. He does not want to have anything to do with some scary dark monster. He wants to be free! And he’ll do whatever it takes to reach his goal.

And yet … Shit! Aren’t they stuck together now? Their life-lines intertwined?

Wait! If the dark monster wants him dead, that’s easy enough to solve. All he has to do is to successfully kill him first!

** Can't promise it will be so forever, but, for now, updates every day! Thank you for reading! ♥ ** <<less

Over three-hundred years ago, the necromancer, Emperor Keir, almost took over the entire continent of Erebu. It took a coalition of nations from all over the world to defeat him and his army of mindless undead and loyal living subjects. But that was not the end of him, he created a 'Heart' to safely hold his soul, which would allow him to return to life later. ... more>>

In the present day, an army of demons have slaughtered their way across the continent. Most of the human inhabitants are dead, a few million survive in strongholds waiting for a miracle, and the rest of the world has abandoned the continent. In desperation the Eldritch Council, which was formed to prevent the spread of necromancy and ensure Keir would never be released, has resurrected the one time Emperor.

Now Keir has to use his powers to save the continent from an endless tide of demons, while dealing with allies who don't trust him, and under the effect of several geas that limit his actions and plans.

At least these problems put being resurrected as a woman into perspective.

Fed up with a world where science has made every fantasy a reality and people just don’t care about stories anymore, a young video game developer named Kai uses ancient black magic to transport himself into one of his games, titled: Choices.... more>>

Disturbed by his powerlessness on Earth, Kai makes sure to give himself the ability to change this new world as he sees fit, literally.

If you were ridiculously powerful, would you throw away all your morals and do whatever you wanted? Would you find happiness? Would you find love?
Or would you end up realizing that…

Absolute power is pretty depressing.

Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this world was, in fact, the real one, and his... more>> soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience.

With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for.

This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on the platform a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support. <<less

In a surprising turn of events, John is abruptly whisked away into a bizarre yet eerily familiar realm, reminiscent of a game he once conquered.

Warning:
It is important to mention that this novel is primarily an experimental undertaking of mine. The release of subsequent chapters will occur solely at my discretion, without a consistent schedule.

At times, a new chapter may be posted on a weekly basis, whereas at other times, there may be an extended period of abandonment before the release of several chapters in one day. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that this marks my first attempt at writing a novel and English is not my native language. As a result, the quality of writing may fluctuate. <<less

[I was reborn after being murdered because of the true wish that I made for revenge against all human-peoples, but now I’m alive again and I actually just kind of don’t want to do that anymore; so I opened a shoe-store instead!]
__________________________________________________
After being violently torn from her old life in the natural world after being grotesquely murdered by miners belonging to members of the common races of humans and elves, Mirabelle the fairy makes a true wish to anything that can hear her dying screams, beckoning the old powers of the forgotten reaches to allow her to take her revenge against those who stole all things precious from her in this life.
... more>> 40px;"> Her wish is granted. However, upon being reborn in an age far after when she originally died, and all traces of her old life having been erased by the unforgiving passing of time, she finds herself alone with a spirit as crushed as her old body had been, as while she has been granted her wish for power, all of the people who wronged her have long since died already.

The cruel fairy forsakes her true wish to make the world worse than she left it and instead finds a new life in a very unlikely place — the large, nearby human city that hadn’t existed when she last knew the area generations upon generations ago.

Needing a way to survive as the only fairy within the human capital, if not the only one at all in the world, Mirabelle lives in secret within the vibrant city full of magic and adventurers, adapting to the ways of the human-people, as the fairy ways do not suffice to survive within this new, industrious world that is the total opposite of her old one, until she finds her path forward as a shoemaker's apprentice!

Living in secret and in fear, unable to reveal herself because of her own anxieties, the fairy practices the art of shoemaking in secret, the old bargain of her rebirth not forgotten by her or by the dark stars that granted it, as she spends her days making boots as she tries to figure out what life exactly is for a cruel fairy or a cruel human, both of whom exist under the curious glow of starlight that seems to wait ever so patiently for the bargain to be fulfilled.

Will Mirabelle succumb to the cruel desires to make the humans pay for what they did to her and her people, or will she find a new way forward, breaking free from the spiritual shackles of revenge?

If you had the power to change the world—would you try to?... more>>

In the year 2036 a young teenager, Fate Reylin, awakens a power that should have been scientifically impossible. He has long since believed that the world is a cruel place, and when he gains psychic powers, he feels that he can finally make the world a better place.

As he discovers over time, changing the entire world isn't a straightforward task. It's never as simple as just doing what you think is right. Fate realizes this as his actions have far-reaching consequences on the people, and world around him—especially on those who are closest to him.

Ultimately, Fate must come to terms with the fact that sometimes it's not your choice to make things better, but rather how you react to the world around you which makes all the difference.

This story follows the life of one man who seeks to change the course of history by any means necessary: and in doing so—he must face the responsibility of creating what he fears most. <<less
