The curve between us

After transmigrating into the Naruto world, he obtains a villain template and starts as a major antagonist from Demon Slayer—Kokushibo, Upper Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki. He originally wanted to live a laid-back life, but fate drags him into the Third Great Ninja War. This is a story about a villain. It’s a long story—take your time reading it.

Willa had been pushed through fifteen foster homes and just about had enough of it. On her eighteenth birthday, her only wish is simple—survive long enough to escape the life she’s trapped in. But that night, a monster crashes into her home and mauls her to death. Except, she doesn’t die. When Willa wakes, she finds herself inside a hidden supernatural academy, surrounded by beings she never knew existed. Worse, everyone believes she is someone else—a girl who mysteriously vanished two months ago. Only Willa knows the truth. And she intend to keep it that way. Pretending to be the missing girl may be dangerous, but it’s still safer than the life she left behind. At least, that’s what Willa thought. Until she meets them. Seven powerful beings bound to her by a fated connection that should never exist. The bond is forbidden. Cursed. Dangerous. Impossible to ignore. As Willa struggles to resist the pull between them, she begins to uncover a truth far more terrifying— the academy dark secrets, who she really is, the ancient power rising inside her, and the enemies older than legends hunting her. Because the monster that attacked her that night wasn’t just meant to kill her. It was meant to erase her from existence.

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

In the blood-soaked darkness of Crime Alley, eight-year-old Bruce Wayne watches his world end. The gunshots echo. His parents fall. And in that moment of ultimate despair, something impossible happens—a soul from another reality crashes into his dying consciousness. Two minds. Two lifetimes. One body. The child's raw grief merges with an adult's strategic brilliance and meta-knowledge of the DC Universe. Bruce Wayne gains something no hero in this world has ever possessed: perfect awareness of what's coming. Every villain's origin. Every crisis. Every tragedy that will unfold across the years. But knowledge alone won't save Gotham. It won't stop Darkseid. It won't put him on equal footing with Superman or Wonder Woman. That's where the Lock-In System changes everything. **[LOCK-IN SYSTEM ACTIVATED]** A mysterious power awakens within him, granting three absolute advantages: First, intelligence enhanced to 2.5 times normal human capacity—a genius mind that will only grow sharper. Second, a Proficiency Panel that guarantees progress in any skill with dedicated effort—no talent required, no limits imposed, only inevitable mastery through work. Third, a Pocket Dimension offering an extra twenty-four hours every single day—time enough to train, study, and prepare while the rest of the world sleeps. Bruce Wayne will not become the broken, self-destructive Batman of the original timeline. He will not limit himself to peak human ability. He will not throw himself at gods and monsters with nothing but gadgets and grit. Instead, he'll take ten years to plan. To train. To acquire power through every possible means—technology, genetics, magic, and beyond. He'll manipulate timelines, recruit heroes before they fully form, and position himself not as Gotham's Dark Knight, but as Earth's unquestioned strategic leader. The Justice League will form. But this time, it will be built on his terms. His rise will be legendary. His power will rival gods. His control absolute. By the time Superman arrives. By the time Darkseid looks toward Earth. By the time the universe notices this backwater planet—Bruce Wayne will be ready. Not as Batman. As something far more dangerous. The only question remaining: How far can one man ascend when given infinite time, guaranteed progress, and perfect knowledge of what's coming? **Welcome to a DC Universe where Bruce Wayne refuses to play by the rules.** **Welcome to Batman: Locked-In.**

In a world ruled by the Celestial Weave, the age of eighteen brings a definitive judgment of power. But during his final rite, Hasphien receives nothing. Labeled "Threadless" and cast into the shadows of a society that measures a person’s worth solely by their magic, he becomes a target of mockery and scorn. Desperate to protect his son, his father, Thiago, takes a dangerous gamble, gifting Hasphien an artificial power no one else could ever have—a gift meant solely for him. But the moment the transfer is complete, a terrifying truth is unearthed: Hasphien wasn't empty. Deep within him lies a dormant force feared to awaken. No longer just an object of ridicule, Hasphien is thrust into a lethal war on two fronts. As the alien power clashes violently with the devouring void locked inside his soul, he must control the raging storm within—or become the catalyst that tears the world apart.

James Carter was nobody special—just another face in the crowd, another casualty of circumstance. When he dies and wakes up in Gotham City, he realizes with creeping horror that he's landed in the DC Universe. No system. No cheats. No destiny waiting for him. Just a dead-end job, an empty apartment, and the certain knowledge that in this world, ordinary people die screaming. But James has something nobody else does: he knows what's coming. He knows Superman just made his debut. He knows Batman is starting his war on crime. He knows that in a few short years, gods and monsters will walk the earth, and anyone without power will be collateral damage. Most people would despair. James gets to work. With only his mind and his memories of comic books as weapons, James begins a calculated ascent from powerless nobody to something more. Every advantage must be earned. Every power must be taken. Every relationship must be built with care. Because in a universe of Kryptonians and speedsters, of magic and metahumans, there's no room for hesitation. The heroes are rising. The villains are plotting. And somewhere in between, one man is playing the most dangerous game of all—trying to survive long enough to matter. This is the rise of an extra. This is the story of someone who refused to be nobody.

She became the youngest Grammy winner in the pop music world, and the youngest Annie Award winner for Best Animated Feature in animation history.

On top of that, she owned toy brands and fashion lines that set global trends… She is Isabella Haywood, from Great Britain. People often attribute Isabella’s success to her talent and hard work. But Isabella herself would say— “I believe the key to my success was that, at ten years old, I got to play Hermione Granger.” “Without Harry Potter, there would be no me today.” . . . . This is a translation! I do not own anything!

A transmigrator from Earth finds himself in the world of Naruto. By fate’s twist, he is reborn as the son of Uchiha Kagami—the famed disciple of the Second Hokage. Yet originally, “Hayashi” was nothing more than a background character, destined never to appear on screen.
