survival

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

It all began with one challenge. Kairo, the untouchable king of campus. A cocky, magnetic heartbreaker every girl dreams of. A walking sin with a smirk that ruins and a charm that destroys. A Casanova who collects hearts like trophies… and never keeps one for long. Then there’s Sara, the quiet nerd who loved him in silence. Not just his body, not just the fantasy every other girl wanted, she longed for all of him. His heart. His soul. His love. But when a challenge pulled them together, his goal was to win the game. Hers was to win him. And somewhere in between, everything changed. What was supposed to be fun became chaos, twisting Sara’s already fragile life into a disaster she never saw coming. Yet, when everything crumbles, she clings to the only thing that keeps her alive, her secret blessing. Her heartbeat. Her reason to keep going.

He woke up in Konoha. That should’ve been a dream come true. Except… he’s not Naruto. He’s not a side character. He’s— Naruto’s mother. Uzumaki Kyūsei never asked to be reincarnated into the world of shinobi… let alone become the Nine-Tails’ jinchūriki and the future “sacrificial parent” of the protagonist. In a world where fate is already written, where heroes rise on the corpses of their loved ones— He refuses to die for someone else’s story. So what does he do? He avoids danger. Avoids the “chosen one.” Avoids Namikaze Kaoru—the girl who should become Naruto’s father. But fate isn’t something you can just walk away from. Because inside him lies the Nine-Tails. Around him, war is brewing. And unseen hands are already reshaping the shinobi world.  What starts as a lazy life of freeloading quickly spirals into something far more dangerous— a clash between destiny and defiance. And this time… The story won’t follow canon.

Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike. Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back. Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.” He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end. Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.” Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.
