The Light of The Shadows

Himanshu was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old—an orphan scraping through life—until a heated argument about Karna and Arjuna became the last conversation he would ever have. Struck down by a god’s wrath for daring to question divine actions, his life ends abruptly… but not completely. Before his soul can fade into oblivion, he is summoned by Lord Shiva. Declaring that Himanshu’s death was unjust and premature, Shiva offers him a second chance—one bound not by mercy, but by purpose. A sacred duty awaits him in a world where Dharma is on the verge of collapse. Reborn in the era of the Mahabharata, Himanshu quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The timeline exists. The kingdoms stand. The great war approaches. But the one who anchors destiny itself… Lord Krishna is missing. Without Krishna, the balance between Dharma and Adharma begins to shatter. Heroes waver. Villains rise unchecked. Fate itself grows unstable. Armed with three extraordinary boons—a mysterious system that rewards his actions, unnatural luck, and unmatched talent in all arts and combat—Himanshu steps into a story that was never meant to unfold this way. But in a world where destiny has lost its guide… Even the smallest change can birth unimaginable consequences. As he navigates alliances, alters events, and challenges the very will of the gods, Himanshu must confront a terrifying truth: Is he here to save this world… —or to decide if it deserves to be saved at all? ====================================== (Author note:) This story was a heavy A.U and all those characters belong's to the OG creator of the epic.

They called him the weakest student in three hundred years. They were wrong about everything else, too. Five hundred years ago, the sky tore open and the Void Rift let monsters called the Abyssborn pour into the world. The Order of Wardens has hunted them ever since — sealing rifts, burying secrets, and repeating the same story so many times that no one questions it anymore. Alden Blackwood was supposed to be a footnote. Dead last in his class. First to wash out. Until the night a forbidden relic called the Soul Ledger chose him — a system that turns every kill into permanent power, at a price no other Warden has ever been warned about. Now every monster he harvests brings him one step closer to strength the Order has never seen... and one step closer to a truth it has spent five centuries erasing: the Abyssborn were never invaders. They were people. And something above the sky wants it to stay that way. Follow Alden through the Rift Trials, the Order's hidden hierarchy, and a continent-spanning war he never asked for — as he claws his way from Blackthorn Academy's dead last to the one person capable of exposing the lie the gods themselves built the world on. Power has a price. Alden Blackwood is about to find out exactly what he's willing to pay.

In the beginning, there was only the Void—and then came the Primordials, godlike beings who forged the multiverse from nothing. Among them stood Kaelthar, the Primordial Dragon, an embodiment of cosmic balance and raw power. He led the charge in the ancient war against the Outer Beings—eldritch entities of chaos that sought to consume all of existence. After a cataclysmic battle that shattered dimensions, Kaelthar sacrificed himself to seal away the chaos, entering a deep slumber beyond time itself. Eons passed. Worlds evolved. Gods rose and fell. And the multiverse forgot its guardian. But now… **he awakens.** As chaos begins to stir once more, Kaelthar rises—not only to protect creation, but to explore it. With the strength of the stars in his veins and the desire of a dragon burning in his soul, he sets out to travel the **Omniverse**—from the anime worlds of warriors and magic, to the comic realms of gods and heroes. Along the way, Kaelthar encounters powerful and alluring women—goddesses, queens, sorceresses, and killers—each drawn to his overwhelming presence. Some challenge him. Some desire him. All must decide: resist or surrender. Bound by duty but driven by desire, Kaelthar’s journey is one of conquest, passion, and cosmic battles as he reclaims his place as the **supreme being of all realities**. --- DISCLAIMER This is a wish fulfilment and with huge harem(pokemon style) if you don't like it don't read it be warned. also there's r18 content so be warned.

Five years ago, the sky tore open. Rifts bled monsters into the world—beasts beyond reason, nightmares given flesh. Nations fell. Borders vanished. Civilization collapsed into factions and fortified cities, clawing to survive a reality rewritten by cosmic horror. Amid the chaos, a new kind of human emerged—Hunters, awakened with powers no one understands. They are soldiers, mercenaries, and weapons in a war with no end. Ha Joon is not one of them. Or so he thinks. Plagued by memories he doesn’t trust and a name tied to shadows, Ha Joon is pulled into a brutal training program hidden deep within the forest. Overseen by Chi Long—an enigmatic woman whose discipline is as cruel as it is surgical—he is stripped of comfort, humanity, and choice. His only company: Eun Byol, a former idol kidnapped and thrown into the same nightmare, her spirit breaking as she’s forced to become something she was never meant to be. Together, they must survive Chi Long’s merciless tests, the monsters that lurk beyond the trees, and the truth buried in their blood. All while two names—Ash and Tears—haunt the edges of the world like ghosts. Whispers say they’ve seen the end. And it begins again with Ha Joon.

In 1990, he traveled to an island country in a parallel world and became the president of a game company. Aoki Haruhi, who had already understood the direction of the next 30 years, could not fail.

Reborn as the sarcastic, black-haired twin of Draco Malfoy, Orion had a simple plan: ignore the pureblood politics, torment his father with logic, and push magic to its absolute breaking point. When a blue screen popped up on his eleventh birthday, he thought he’d hit the jackpot. A System? In a magical world? It was the ultimate cheat code. At least, until it spoke. Enter Sparkle: a sentient, sarcastic, and aggressively unhelpful "System" who refuses to give him quests, stats, or a manual. Instead, she demands he "live his life" and stumble blindly into obscure conditions to unlock rewards ranging from useless Gobstones to legendary Phoenix Tears. Now, Orion must navigate Hogwarts with a brother who has more hair gel than brain cells and a voice in his head that treats his life like a reality TV show. He doesn't want to be a hero; he just wants to figure out if setting a mountain troll on fire counts as an achievement. *** Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor any characters in this fanfic, except for the idea of this fanfic story.

Takayama Kaito reincarnated expecting the usual: broken powers, flashy magic, or some overpowered unique ability. But what he got was a normal world. Worse, one straight out of a completely ordinary slice-of-life anime. No enemies, no magic, no cheats. Resigned to his fate, everything changes months later when he’s summoned,.along with millions of others,.into a brutal conquest game between Lords. His task: develop a territory, summon units, and survive. And of course still no cheat. Yet another disappointment. But everything shifts when the Tower of Worlds opens, a weekly event where Lords are sent into other worlds to complete missions. It’s there that Kaito finally discovers his trump card: those worlds are fictional stories he knows from his past life! While others struggle to adapt blindly, he already knows the characters, key events, and even the endings. With knowledge as his weapon, he begins his journey to become the Supreme Lord of Gaia.
