Horizon before dawn

Joao_Matias_5451
A young man is thrust into the unforgiving world of Horizon Zero Dawn as an outcast. Will he survive, carving out a place for himself in this harsh, machine-filled wilderness? Or will he meet a grim fate, trampled by a Strider? Follow Noir, our snarky and not-so-lucky protagonist, as he embarks on a wild and unpredictable journey. Along the way, you’ll meet the characters you love (and maybe hate), and witness how his presence changes the world as we know it. What to Expect: Slow-Burn Beginnings: The first chapters will focus on setting up Noir’s character and the challenges of his new reality. Romance (Eventually): Expect romance much later in the story—when the time is right. No Smut No Harem Action-Packed Adventure: Get ready for violence, explosions, and plenty of destruction. Familiar Faces: Noir will meet Aloy and Rost early on, but not immediately. Their interactions will be pivotal. A Complex Protagonist: Noir is a natural leader who won’t shy away from doing what needs to be done to save this dying world. He’s not a hero, nor a villain, a neutral karma protagonist walking a morally gray path. This is my first fanfic, so please bear with me! I’d love to hear your thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, and how I can improve. If you spot any grammar issues, feel free to call them out. Your feedback is everything to me. Whether you like it, dislike it, or feel compelled to throw some stones my way, it all helps me grow as a writer. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you’re kind enough to leave a review, I’ll light an incense stick in your honor (because that’s all I can afford). Love you all.

Game of Thrones: Joffrey the Ruthless Emperor

Joffrey Baratheon was supposed to be the monster who lost everything. Instead, he woke up with memories of a future where dragons burn the sky, White Walkers march south, and his own head ends up on a spike. Now armed with the [Heaven’s Will Role-Playing System], he doesn’t run from his villainous destiny—he weaponizes it. By perfectly acting out ever-shifting roles (Eccentric Ruthless Overlord, Hot-Headed Iron-Willed General, Concerned Military Advisor), he earns god-tier skills: unbreakable poison immunity, long-range “Stargaze” spying, and more. While the realm still sees a golden-haired princeling, Joffrey is already three moves ahead—poisoning plots before they hatch, forging royal records, spreading rumors that topple schemers like Littlefinger, blocking Tywin Lannister’s return, and dragging Ned Stark south early to use him as a human shield. He gifts Robb a wolf-headed sword, charms Sansa with songs and berries, drags Bran through every secret passage in Winterfell, and even shares wine with Mance Rayder without blinking. All while the Hound grumbles, Tyrion laughs, Cersei schemes, and a very angry Three-Eyed Crow whispers through the heart tree: “Kid. Don’t steal my people.” In the deadliest game of thrones Westeros has ever seen, the boy who was born to lose has decided the only way to win… is to become the emperor heaven itself chose. And the realm is about to find out exactly how dangerous a competent Joffrey can be.

Villain: After I Laid Flat the Female Lead Came Chasing After Me (18+)

Fang Chen discovered that he had transmigrated into a fantasy novel and became the villainous holy son in it. Villains usually have great talent, strong backgrounds, and high status. He possessed a Dao Body physique and was the holy son of the Cloud Sky Holy Land, second only to one and above ten thousand. He was also devoted, always pursuing the female lead Lin Luowei and being completely loyal to her, but the female lead mistakenly believed he was the enemy who wiped out her clan and despised him deeply. She was even taken away by the male lead through a carefully designed hero-saves-the-beauty scheme. Fang Chen: “With such good conditions, why not behave well instead of being a simp.” At the same time, Fang Chen obtained a system. In just over half a month, he directly broke through a major realm, and his cultivation soared. And the female lead unexpectedly could hear Fang Chen’s inner thoughts and discovered that Fang Chen was not the enemy who wiped out her clan, but her lifesaver. The real enemy turned out to be the male lead’s father. The female lead’s character setting completely collapsed, and her attitude toward Fang Chen changed by 180 degrees. Fang Chen’s laying flat caused the male lead to have no one suppressing him, losing many opportunities to improve himself, and the normal plot of showing off turned into being slapped in the face instead. Female lead: “Fang Chen, I misunderstood you. I want to become the woman behind you, sheltering you from wind and rain!” Male lead: “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don’t bully the poor young man. Those who bullied me will pay the price!” Fang Chen: “Male and female leads, stay away from me. I want to lie flat!” After lying flat, Fang Chen discovered that the character settings of the male and female leads had collapsed!

Sold To The Cruel Prince

He claims she belongs to another man… but he looks at her like she’s already his. Aveline Willowgrave was born to wealth, dignity… and a future she would never live to claim. At ten years old, she watched her parents die. The years that followed were worse. Her uncle stole her inheritance, her home, and her freedom. And at last… he sold her. She was masked, chained, and priced like livestock before a room of hungry men. Just as the crowd surges forward to strip her bare, a single voice cuts through the auction… A bid so high it silences the entire hall. A knight from Greenvale. He does not save her. He buys her. And when he removes his helmet, Aveline’s breath catches. Theron. The quiet orphan boy she once mocked when her world was still soft and golden. Now, he stands before her, powerful, controlled… and impossible to read. He tells her she was never meant for him. She was purchased as a gift, for Prince Vaelor of Greenvale, the Crown Prince whispered to be as cruel as he is untouchable. Cornered between slavery and a fate worse than death, Aveline makes the only choice left to her. “Don’t give me to the prince,” she whispers. “Take me as your mistress instead.” But Theron did not return to her life by accident. He has his own reasons. His own secrets. And as Aveline is drawn into Greenvale’s glittering court, she begins to wonder... Why did he choose her? Why did he disappear days before her parents died? And why, when he looks at her now, does it feel less like hatred… and more like something far more dangerous?
