Carried away by a raging river, Elian was sure he would die. Yet Death decided it was not his time, and when he reopened his eyes, an unfamiliar blue sky greeted him, and a little fluffy creature who was calling him a Hero.... more>>

Maybe he did die. Perhaps it was a test before the afterlife for the Gods above to measure his mantle against an insurmountable challenge.

Sure enough... He didn't need to wait for long to learn why he appeared in this alien land called Susaria. It turns out that he is not the first to be summoned into this world, but he will most likely be the last. His predecessor, the Hero Dalen, made sure of it.

After saving the world from destruction, a celebrated figure, a living legend in the people's eyes, decided it was his right to rule the world with an iron fist. Elian had to realize it would be his quest to stop him... The question was, will he be able to do it? Or will he be just the next Hero in line, waiting to be defeated?

--- Author's notes:

Hey-ho! I am happy you clicked on my story and are considering checking it out! For my returning readers, welcome back! Here are some quick notes on what you need to know about this story if you need a bit more information than a traditional synopsis:

- I decided to make this part of my Cosmos series, but it only has vague, faint inklings, as I do not plan to include cameos or direct references here. This is just another realm, somewhere in the vast cosmos.
- The chapters in this book are 3/4 of the length of my usual chapters. This choice was made consciously, as it helps me write it consistently in tandem with the other books. Also, this story is going to be shorter than the others.
- Expect a story about a classic Good vs Evil scenario. I just wanted to write a fun hero's journey story for a change of pace. Of course, this does not mean I will shove 2D characters into it, but the motivations are more straightforward than my usual settings. Someone is here to dominate, and someone is here to stop that from happening.
- The release schedule will be six chapters per week, from Monday to Saturday, 16:00 UTC+2. You can read twelve chapters ahead, so two weeks over the public chapters on my patreon! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=91260409
- Also, this story was the very first I wrote back in high school, many years ago. I still have it printed out. When I found it, I decided to rework it because now I can do so much more with the core idea. So, while this is new, it is a story I have already told as a teenager, so I have a clear plot laid out before me that I am simply expanding with my now improved skillset.

This story is just to explain various powers and anatomy of different characters that appear over time in my other stories. Let it be clear that although there may be different characters with the same powers, they will have different limits. In other words, I can create two characters with fire powers, but only one of them can use that power to its fullest capacity.... more>>

(Author's Notes: As more characters appear and gain power, they will be added to an existing chapter. An example is Jean Gray and Charlie Xavier where they both have telepathy but until this very moment only Xavier has appeared.) <<less

Amidst a brutal, never-ending war, one hero stands above all others as a beacon of hope. The Knight Templar – Pilot of a towering... more>> mech, its cape billowing, armour gleaming white and sword aflame – An unstoppable protector of the weak, an ace among aces.
But behind every hero is a valiant maintenance crew. Without them, The Knight Templar would surely be a man like any other.
Kris seeks to be an integral part of that crew, a person the one true hero they believe in can lean upon.
But with the war growing ever more delusional, a new doomsday plan is uncovered that threatens to wipe out the fragile resistance of Remembrance entirely. Can Kris and the rest of the Caravel's crew come together to prevent this threat, or will even The Knight Templar be engulfed in an unescapable inferno?
Can a hero really exist in a war of tragedies? <<less

In a world where almost everyone has a superpower, I'm one of the few who was born without. But that is not something I'm upset about. Superpowers are for humans, and I spent all my life working my way to stop being one. I don't need to be born with the ability to fly, breathe fire, shoot lasers from my eyes, or have an indestructible body. I worked tirelessly to be able to do all of that and more.... more>>

Now only if I could beat the last villainess with her detestable superpower, I would be the strongest being in the world.

All that Flinn ever wanted was the love and affection of his family. The acknowledgment of his cold father, caring sister, and indifferent older brother. It was to the point he became a runaway to join the Hunting Guild. His desire was strong.... more>>

Despite being an ordinary person, Flinn amassed enough fortune to enter the most expensive academy in the world. One that was famous in making the strongest MagiKnights in history.

Ultima Academy.

As soon as he became 18 of age, he finally chose to return. Changing his appearance and improving on his own unique style. Growing in a way that was suitable for his own talents. He was a simple fighter, but his dreams were great.

The only thing that got in his way were these weird people hanging around him. They kept on trying to gain his favour and ask him to make contracts with them. Flinn called the police.

He was not going to fall for their nonsense. It wouldn’t be long before he was accepted.

At least, that was how Flinn dreamed… <<less

"My child, the moment you drew your sword and became king, the knights of Camelot were all shouting the same name - Arthur!"... more>>

The witch's whisper reminded Arthur of the day when he drew his sword. Arturia and Merlin wanted to tear him apart from their questioning and weird looks.

"The people yearn for your glory, and the Saxons fear your power." Arthur glanced at the crazy fanatics surrounding the castle, as well as the Saxon laborers who had just been captured by Gawain. "You are a kind, honest, enthusiastic, righteous, and wise King!"

In a world where people are born with two special traits that give them some abilities and even superpowers, Aleph was born with only one trait for some reason. However, he dreams of living another life in a different world... a past that he didn't know was true or just an illusion. ... more>>

Thanks to those dreams, he becomes self-aware of his situation much quicker than the others. He is a war orphan, and eventually, when he is able to work, he becomes a slave for people he didn't even know and who sent his parents to their deaths. He is forced to live that kind of life for many years without any choice.

At first, Aleph thought that his trait would be useless... some people can run super fast while others have super strength, but he can only heal a bit quicker than the others. His way of thinking changes as he begins to work, and his traits start to level up. Not only that, but his body also starts to become stronger in response to all the work that he does. His trait not only heals him but can also repair his body and make it stronger afterward.

With that new knowledge, Aleph decides to train for many years to become strong enough to free himself. But when his chance is finally approaching, he learns that the world is in chaos. Wars never stop, and thousands of people die with each battle. No matter where he goes, death and battles will chase him. In a world like that, he can't just become strong enough to free himself—he has to become strong enough to make real change. <<less

The Usual. Reborn as a Noble of Somekind. Into a world of Swords and Magic. He has broken abilities that make no sense. Nonsense, just got that. Meets a lot of girls who follow the protagonist around but he never actually sleeps with them, so like why is he putting up with them. Yada, yada, yada.... more>>

Except this is different. I know I may sound desperate in trying to justify this to you, but I swear it is. You see this time our protagonist is from the future, and while only being like twenty or so, has centuries of experience gained inside VR games.

Also, I am going to use a cliche isekai setting but have our protagonist a bit more down to earth. Wait, does that saying still count?

They say that one's karma is determined by one's actions.
One's destiny forged through blood, sweat and tears.
And one's fate, already predetermined. An inevitability.... more>>

But, what of karma and destiny ? Do those not matter at all at the table in front of fate ?
Every living human and creature is fated to die one day. Then, do your evils committed not matter at all ?
Going through gates of heaven, depths of hell, or the fields of Avalon. Is it your choice ?

"Such a contradictory belief." he thought often, despite not being religious.

So... was it his fate to be robbed of his life, work, and family ? His relationship wasn't the best with his family, but he did his best to slowly fill in the cracks he had made.
But that didn't matter anymore. His chances were taken.

By what ? Why ? How ?

"I... I didn't ask for any of this." he lamented, pressure in his throat welling up.

Was it his fate to die meaninglessly and wake up in this foreign, powerless body ? This body, this beauty, this world. It felt so wrong.

How was he to live ? Could he even accept this ? Will he... accept this and move on ?

After the death of his father, Shen Zhihao succeeded him as the leader of the Yinhai sect. A prestigious position that should bring admiration, and perhaps envy, from his peers. Due to his beauty and demeanor, everything indicated that Shen Zhihao would become a role model for the rest of the disciples.... more>>

However, few anticipated that Shen Zhihao would be a two-legged rat (not literally) who didn't hesitate to impose his will (literally) on all those he considered inferior. A true tyrant.

A dictator who did not foresee that the day would come when his banished older brother would return from the dead to seize his throne. And, finding himself without a clear way to defeat him, Shen Zhihao would have no choice but to venture into the unknown, traveling to another universe to find the chosen one who could assist him in his fight.

He did not count, however, on the fact that once he arrived in this other world, the promised ally had been dead for thirteen years. And that, in his place, there was only an individual named Zhao Xian, a descendant of the man who was supposed to help him, and whose combat skills could be rated between zero and none.

As if that weren't enough, the portal through which Shen Zhihao arrived on this mission of seeking help closed, and with no way to communicate with his clan, how could he return?

Will Zhao Xian be his salvation after all, or on the contrary, will they both end up being each other's downfall? <<less

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... more>> 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. <<less
