On a fateful day, a boy and a girl cross-path in the depth of the forest. Lost and in need of shelter, the boy let her live with him in a wooden house built beside an ancient tree.... more>>

Years of harmony passed by and their bonds grew stronger than ever, regarding the other as their own family, perhaps, even closer than that. But everything, no matter good or bad, must come to an end.

On one evening, the teenage boy shared a startling discovery.
“Your brother… I found him”

Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, her eyes quivered as the memories she had long suppressed and locked away began to haunt her once again.

The desire to send justice to the murderer of her father and mother. The one that cruelly killed them with the knife in his hand on the cold windy night. The one that chased her away tirelessly to the faraway land.

Her loving brother...

And on that evening, the two had a long and heavy discussion. The boy urged her to seek and exact her revenge.
“Then, how about you?”
“Sorry… but I can’t go with you,” he replied with a bittersweet smile.

In the end, the girl yielded and made up her mind to confront her brother. However, unbeknownst to her, something happened when the dawn finally arrived.

The boy… he was found missing.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a single clue to his whereabouts. The hint pointed directly at her brother.

And so, she goes. As she cast one last glance at the ancient tree behind her, a flood of memories from her time with the boy overwhelmed her.
And yet, it only reaffirmed her conviction once again and powered herself to face the unknown future in front of her, leaving everything that she cherished before behind.

From a fateful union to an unforeseen separation. Even vengeance born from betrayal was faltering in the grand scheme of fate.

Time-Travel. Naruto goes back to the past accidentally after dying because of defeating Kaguya. And he's fairly okay with the second chance as he can help more people. What he isn't okay is with the new change in his body, not that Kurama will admit is his fault. Even if it totally was.... more>>

(Or that fic where Kurama tried to not let Naruto die and asked Hagoromo for help which resulted in their trip to an AU. However, in the trip Naruto's semi destroyed body worsened and he had to remade it with what's he's used with.
The bad thing is that he's been sealed in two women bodies before and he's more used to their weird biology than with a male one.)

"Finally," whispers Katherine, crimson hair cascading down her shoulders as she views the flickering images on the record device. ... more>>

"Both of them have vanished it seems…leaving only whispers of their escape."

But her lips curl into a knowing smile as she spots a familiar figure manipulating a seemingly ordinary vase with otherworldly grace - his silver hair shimmering with arcane energy.

Unremarkable features, yes, but the power he wields...that is anything but.

"Found you, Grey," she purrs, eyes gleaming with a mix of anticipation and predatory delight. His fate, and perhaps the fate of their world, hangs in the balance.

It's recommended you read through Book 1 (Creation: The Wolves That Are Us) before this, however Book 2 could also be read first without the knowledge of Book 1, you'd be missing out on references and character reveals but that's all.... more>>

This isn't a tale depicted from the recent past, this story doesn't head towards a new future. Instead this story looks towards a memory, the recorded events that have already occurred. There may be some old faces, some more memorable than another. You may remember some of these but, understand this...there's nothing like experiencing something for yourself, maybe something wasn't told right. Or perhaps, you'll learn of someone new, someone who's had a hand throughout this play but hasn't yet shown their face.

This could tell you the origin of the gods, the origin of the world or even the beginning of time. But for this story we're going to look at something more simple, something undiluted and yet to be touched by the hands of the divine. A human. The name that would soon spring fear through the ones that reside within the realms, both the mortal and the immortal.

Now look towards the human...the storm shaped by the beast and motivated by the serpent. <<less

The executioner, the best of the best, the survivor that lived through battlefields of death, and became the bringer of death.
She was highly prized... more>> by the millitary of San Magnolia republic despite her being one those "slaughter pigs"as ironic as it can be.
Despite she had the iconic silver hair, her bright crimson ruby right and fiery beryl blue left heterochromatic eyes had set her different from others, but it didn't bring bring the usual looks of disdain, au cotraire, it was jealousy and greed that had sparked a fire of hate.
The eyes she had were extremely rare, possesing the ability to see into the future. And in the passion of hate, the "pure bloods" sent her to the front lines. She isn't just some diposable person though, and her nickname describes perfectly why.
She is vastly different from the other "slaughter pigs". No matter what orders the handler gives, she always secures a 100% success rate.
She executes every command like an oiled machine and maintained well, efficiently taking out any Legion she was tasked to. She was the Executioner.
And so those silver haired bastards decided honour her performance, that is at least what they told her with contempt.
She was going to be transfered to the "Spear-Head" squadron in the 86th area, with a new "toy" they had her pilot, it was a prototype unit.
And alike her nickname, they named it after her, The Executioner. Well, not like codename "Vindicator" gives f*ck about what they name it.
The only thing she could give a care to is being transfered to the unit "Spear-Head". She got to meet an equally famous/infamous soldier after all.
Codename "Under-Taker". It was the reaper Shinei Nouzen himself. Along with the others of the Spear-Head squadron.
She could only smile as she stares at the new people she would work with. "I have feeling the next years onwards are going to be frigging fun." <<less

"It's The Jade Exorcist!"
"He's really come to save us!"
Who is the Jade Exorcist now?
Sek Gon really has no idea what everyone is talking about. He's just going for a stroll through the countryside and everyone is grabbing his sleeves and babbling about him being some Jade Exorcist who will save them all from the demons terrorising Sek'syun Country.
As if this isn't annoying enough, he picks up two stray dogs - a creepy woman who tries to kill him any opportunity she can get, and an overly enthusiastic young man who wants to be a white knight.
Can't I get some peace around here???

SI into a newborn Naruto with 'demon fox' sealed inside. World that looks like the anime but is it?... more>>

I wrote a thing. Now as I have never written other stuff than some tabletop campaigns, I have no idea is this even interesting so I am asking for feedback on my writing. Give me some and I might write more.

SI means self insert. Meaning that the story's Naruto is written like I would react to stuff. And I know myself well enough that canon is totally and completely fucked, and I have no faith in my ability to spin a story without player interaction so this might get abandoned even if it becomes popular because I write something stupid. But all I want is some feedback ;)

And I do not know if I am capable of writing smut, so it is open if any will ever appear. I picked the tags and genre by what I currently expect, but we will see. Dirty language will be present, descriptions of violence and blood splatters around. And for all harem haters and lovers, I do not know yet. Personally I like well written harem, but can I do it? <<less

Raventor was once a grand prison that chained and caged godly beings. But after the battle of the mighty beings for a shard, it became a ruin that bigwigs of Moors used to throw in the people they never wanted to see again.

Roid would do anything for freedom. Raventor, being a prison, would never let anybody escape.

There are monsters and mythical creatures here in the prison along with violent criminals with means far outstripped Roid. There are also legacies of the fallen gods here. Most of all, the shard is still here, waiting for the taking.

Join Roid in his swashbuckling adventure as he fights against all the odds for freedom. <<less

Enter a world full of mind boggling phenomena and mystery. Full of anywhere from dream-like landscapes, to actual dreams and visions that question the observer to whether they were actually windows to other realities. The lines of physical matter and substance, and the intangible and idealistic planes above them, are blurred constantly. ... more>>

We follow a young boy with a genius talent for combat, captured and thrown into slavery after his village was torn by the flames of war. Reminiscent of past glories, the young scoundrel's hot blood betrays him, leading him down a path to unraveling the secrets of the slave town, the gigantic sprawling city of caves where the slaves reside beneath it, and even further below, to where lies the mystery of the world's first ending.

Numerous characters of different factions come into contact with the young boy, as they too grow and change. Experiencing pain, joy, love, grief, suffering and growth, molding them into the characters they decide to be. Whether they force themselves to be a certain way, or whether they reject how the world wishes them to be.

The path to higher power and might, involves metaphysical, abstract, and somewhat occult-like elements.

The world heals after its second end and new beginning. Focusing on energy manipulation, bloodlines, magic and other supernatural mysteries.

Yet in certain areas, there lies the living technology of the previously destroyed era. Whether they be resources of cultivation in the form of nuclear cores, or something more sinister...

Enter first, into the unraveling of the first mystery. <<less

To me Naruto should have been promoted to Chunin when he came back after the bell test. He should have been studying how to be a proper Chunin on the Tenji bridge arc clashing with Sy along the way. He should have been promoted to Special Jonin after defeating Kakazu. He should have been promoted to Jonin after defeating Pain. Tsunade should have promised him the seat of Hokage after his clone's showing against Madara, when the Kage were going up against Madara. And Finally it should have ended with Naruto being the youngest Hokage of all time.

Zabusa lost because he underestimated Naruto and Sasuke's will to fight. And even though I dislike the ending, Madara Uchiha lost because he mistook someone else's will for his own. 

Tsunade's will of fire. Might Guy's willingness to die for the future generation. Obito's will being weakened by the life he could have lived resulting in his loss. Everything was about will. <<less

A towering wall separates two worlds, one rich in knowledge and technology, the other plagued by ignorance and savagery. It never used to be like that. Humans lived in tranquility and unity in the City of Ionia, a utopia where minimal crime and violence occurred. Those who stirred up crime and violence were labeled as sinners. More sinners emerged, jeopardizing peace. Because of this, the city decided to exile every sinner to the other side of the walls.

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

____________________________________

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.
____________________________________

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Life is fair in its impartiality. No matter how hurt you’ve been someone has had worse… but it doesn’t feel that way does it?... more>>

It feels like the world has gone dark, your insides go numb, your chest grows heavy, your mind slows…

You start to lose feeling of the world around you, in destitute of hope, gone is your want to be happy because with it, all the hurt only ruins it, making everything worse.

Don’t play the victim because life dealt you an unfair hand they say, well to those people, fuck you. The day you’ve gone through what I have, moment for exact moment, look me in the eyes, and can even think of forming the words “keep going,” is the day I will.

I don’t want to hurt, you don’t want to hurt, animals don’t want to hurt, it’s simply a different outcome for me. You are too scared of dying and nothing coming after while I… I would gratefully accept my rest, and so I go to seek it out.

I’m not mad at any of you for not understanding, I am mad that you think this is something that can be so easily fixed though. I was in that situation more than half my life, and you expect a quarter of that time to fix it?

-Love, or don’t, your ever-disappointing adopted son.

P.S… I’m sorry.
