CHRONOBOUND: FRACTURES OF TOMMOROW

BeyondKajiu
Aoi Takamura is a 19-year-old engineering prodigy living in New Eidon City, a society rebuilt after the “Zero Hour” event wiped out half the world’s population twenty years prior. The government claims the event was a natural disaster but Aoi discovers something that changes everything: His late father’s wristwatch, once thought broken, activates and opens a fractured timeline, giving Aoi visions of alternate realities where different versions of himself either saved or destroyed the world. Haunted by these fragments and hunted by the Time Reconciliation Authority (TRA), a secret organization that eliminates those who tamper with time, Aoi uncovers a dark truth: he was at the center of the Zero Hour in several timelines. Now, each fracture threatens to collapse reality altogether. To stop the impending collapse, Aoi must travel between timelines using the ChronoWatch, gather fractured versions of key individuals (some allies, some enemies), and confront his “other selves”. Versions of him twisted by fear, love, guilt, or rage. But the more timelines he visits, the more unstable his existence becomes. The Aoi from this world is starting to disappear, and one version of him is willing to erase all others to become the “Prime Aoi” and rewrite reality permanently.

Reincarnated as the Villainess — So I’ll Become the Most Iconic One

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))
