just another tale

ugh_diza
Everyone believes heroes change the world. This story is about everyone else. When nineteen-year-old Kael stumbles upon an abandoned leather-bound book with only three words etched on its cover, Just Another Tale, he expects forgotten legends. Instead, the pages begin writing his life... one day before it happens. The strange part isn't that the predictions come true. It's that every chapter insists he's a side character. No matter what Kael does, fate twists events to make someone else the hero. Kingdoms rise, monsters awaken, ancient gods stir, and legendary warriors receive the glory while Kael is left picking up broken swords, delivering messages, and surviving disasters no one remembers. Until he notices something impossible. Every "hero" eventually disappears. Their stories end. But the forgotten people they saved become pieces of a much larger tale, one that has been quietly rewritten for thousands of years. As Kael digs deeper, he uncovers a secret hidden between the lines of history: the world isn't shaped by heroes. It's shaped by the people no one notices. Now, with a book that refuses to tell the whole truth and enemies who erase memories instead of lives, Kael must decide whether to become the hero everyone expects... ...or remain just another tale that changes everything.

A Stark new Rob rewritten & continued!

A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones belong to George R. R. Martin. I'm simply writing a fan story set in his world after what was season 5- what they are calling an ending. Welcome! This story was inspired by the many amazing authors who have expanded upon or created wonderful worlds I love, especially A Song of Ice and Fire. While I admire Martin's incredible world-building, I wanted to explore a different direction. This is an original character (OC) as Robb Stark story. In this timeline, Robb dies in a stable accident early on, but he is replaced by a reincarnated fan and veteran, a history professor who possesses knowledge of the world and its future. This is not a tech-uplift fic—expect modest improvements in tactics, engineering, logistics, and sanitation, but no guns, trains, or miracle medicines. The Old Gods and some others, as well as magic, play a bit more in this story, but not in a way of high fantasy The story follows a capable Robb who knows what is coming and intends to change history. Don’t expect the White Walkers to be the final threat, and if all goes according to plan, this story will exceed 300,000 words. I also take a different approach to Westerosi politics. Some events and alliances in the canon never made much sense to me, so this story explores how things might unfold with a more experienced Robb making different decisions—including preparing for dragons. Thank you for giving my fanfic story a glance. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
