A Song of Ash and Empire

The death of the sun only brought eternal night. The gruesome loss from which the new sun is stagnant in rising. His progression towards Godhood, succession of the golden champion, and freedom to choose his destiny, the path of the sprouted sun.

This is a SI story sort of but it's mostly just for fun. I like card system stories and I wanted to do one myself. The Mc isn't me but he will do what I would do or what I would want to do in a situation. Also, none of the art belongs to me, obviously, and it also uses BronzDeck’s Chaos Gatcha.

Reborn into the world of Naruto, Senju Hikaru understands one truth immediately: power is never given—it is taken, measured, and controlled. Born into a weakened Senju clan with abnormally low chakra, Hikaru chooses the path no one envies—ANBU. In the shadows, he learns that survival isn’t about ideals or heroism, but about timing, restraint, and knowing when to strike. A mysterious system allows him to cultivate strength through seeds and fruits—chakra, sealing arts, Sage power, and more—but growth is slow, costly, and unforgiving. Hikaru plans every step, hiding his true abilities while navigating Konoha’s most dangerous figures: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, and Namikaze Minato. He doesn’t fight fate. He positions himself above it. As war fades and conspiracies rise, Hikaru climbs the ranks of ANBU, turning missions, secrets, and corpses into leverage. By the time the world realizes what he’s becoming, it’s already too late. This is not the story of a hero. It’s the rise of the man who will stand at the end of the ninja world.

Powerful, invincible, and immortal! Having transmigrated into Mahito, I am about to embark on the path of an immortal god! Of course, there is a prerequisite—I must first survive. I'll be uploading two chapters everyday for this story. 50 Powerstones = 1 bonus chapter I don't own the image in the cover if you own this and want it taken down I'll do so immediately.

In the world of One Piece, Arton, a sketch artist, suddenly finds himself face-to-face with a Celestial Dragon—and not in a good way. Lucky for him, he awakens a system that allows him to gain strength by writing in a diary. Fired up for some payback against the Celestial Dragons, Arton embarks on a journey, and not just for retribution but also to meet beautiful girls such as Nami, Robin, and Hancock—characters he's drawn a million times before. As his journey unfolds, Arton starts scratching his head, wondering why women like Uta, Vivi, and Hancock are lining up to join his crew. Nami throws him a compliment, "Thanks, Arton, you're the best." Carina playfully proposes a trade, "Nami, you keep the treasure, and I'll have Arton, okay?" And Nico Robin teases, "Arton, you're into more mature women, aren't you?" ***This is a translation*** original: https://b.faloo . com/1299406.html

[Harry Potter Fanfiction + Mastermind Genre + Strategic Scheming] [Early stages focus on survival and growth; a slow burn] [Ambition and the desire for conquest hidden behind a trustworthy smile and seemingly sincere words] Tver, the most brilliant graduate in Durmstrang’s history, has arrived at Hogwarts. “One day, Muggles will use science to observe magic, expose our secrets, and build mathematical models for every spell. When that day comes, what will wizards do?” “Be locked away like rare beasts in cages?” “Or…”

Transmigrated into the world of Coiling Dragon, Locke arrived just as the First Faith War was beginning. With an affinity only for the Water element, he had no choice but to focus primarily on survival. Starting with the most basic spell, Water Mist Technique, he gradually unraveled the profound mysteries of the Law of Illusionary fog, setting himself on a path dominated by illusion magic.

I died in Tokyo. Stupid way to go—literally hit by a delivery truck while thinking about instant ramen. Then I woke up in Isabel Nyx Raven's body. The villainess. The one the entire kingdom despises. The one who dies screaming in every single game route. Here's the thing though: if I'm DOOMED anyway, I might as well be LEGENDARY. So I learned dark magic from a 70-year-old grimoire keeper who looks like death personified. I corrupted the Crown Princess into practicing forbidden curses. I publicly humiliated Prince Aldric in front of the entire court and made it CLEAR that I'm not the desperate girl who needs his approval—I'm the one he should be terrified of. I built a cult of students who will commit crimes just to impress me. I made a deal with a sarcastic Shadowviper familiar. I caught the attention of a dangerously charming foreign prince who practices dark magic openly and looks at me like he understands exactly what I am. And I did it all while walking a razor's edge between genius and catastrophe—one misstep away from heresy charges, underworld entanglement, and the Crown declaring war on my house. The church is investigating me. Rival kingdoms are circling. My fiancé hates me. The underworld thinks I'm their newest weapon. And Prince Riku? He's either going to be my greatest ally or my most beautiful disaster. But here's what they don't understand: I'm not playing to survive. I'm playing to be UNFORGETTABLE. Even if it kills me, I'm going to make sure the world never forgets the name Isabel Nyx Raven. Watch me burn it all down. (("I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com))

Born an ancient heir to the Kings of Winter, a child discovered by Brandon Stark through greenseer dreams is embraced as a secret of the wolf pack. Loved by his kin but cursed by fate, he is forced to watch from the shadows as the Mad King’s fire consumes his family one by one. Too young to strike and too small to lead, he remains the silent witness to the fall of Rickard, Brandon, and Lyanna. Now, standing in the cold halls of Winterfell with only Ned Stark by his side, the boy who was "not meant to be" must decide if he will remain a ghost of the past or the frost-born future of the North.

MC died at my desk at 28. I woke up as Matt Donovan—the human punching bag of The Vampire Diaries. But something came with : few strong powers :1. HEMOMANCY (Blood Manipulation) Control blood outside bodies → shape weapons, shields, projectiles. Evolves to sensing blood, then full internal control (stop hearts, puppet bodies). His blood also heals wounds. 2. DEATH IMMUNITY Can't permanently die if death connects to anything supernatural (vampire kills him, compelled human kills him, supernatural weapon, etc.). Enters limbo, then resurrects. Nearly impossible to truly kill in Mystic Falls. 3. BLOOD BOND CREATION One drop of his blood in a supernatural's mouth = loyalty bond (like sire bond). Works on vampires, werewolves, witches. Duration and strength grow with practice. 4. TERRITORIAL CLAIM Mark areas with blood = personal territory. Senses supernaturals entering, boosts allies, weakens enemies inside the zone. 5. BLOOD MAGIC AFFINITY Any spell using blood as a component costs him 1/10th the normal price. Not a witch, but can fuel blood rituals cheaply. Im uploading this into royalroad.com .
