The Ballad of Barbatos in the Dungeon City

Venti, who was in truth a reincarnator from Earth, had completed his grand mission as Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. Diverging from his original tragic destiny, Venti utilized his knowledge of the future to create a "Perfect Mondstadt." Through his intervention, Rostam the Wolf survived the cataclysm of Khaenri'ah and now leads the Knights of Favonius toward a golden age. Rosalyne—who was destined to become the vengeance-filled Crimson Witch—now lives happily as Rostam's wife and the city's protector. Even the Dragon Dvalin was freed from poison and suffering. After voluntarily surrendering his Gnosis for the sake of peace and sending off the Traveler, Lumine, to continue her journey, Venti intended to enter a long slumber beneath the great tree at Windrise. He wanted to retire, enjoy his wine, and let the winds blow peacefully. However, fate had other plans. When he opened his eyes, Venti was not greeted by the blue skies of Mondstadt, but by the grey clouds shrouding Orario. He was stranded in the Labyrinth City during the Dark Age—a time where the Zeus and Hera Familias had just been decimated by the One-Eyed Black Dragon, and the people's hope had sunk to its nadir. Evilus ran rampant, and despair gripped the streets. With no Mora, no Gnosis, yet with the elemental power of wind still swirling within him, Venti decided to strum his lyre once more. "This world is far too rigid and miserable. Looks like they could use a little 'freedom,' don't you think?" This is the story of how the most unserious Wind God shook the foundations of Orario, charmed the hearts of maidens with songs and smiles, and brought about a storm of change that would save the city from destruction.

Saikon: To Stand As One’s Self Once More

Ryo Kenzaki was just a high schooler. Ordinary. Forgotten. Content to fade into a crowd and wait for the end of the day. Then a star fell from the sky, and everything changed. In a moment of instinct, he pulled a bleeding woman from a crater—and learned that the world he knew was a lie. The Human Realm exists on borrowed time, separated from the Hunting Realm by a crumbling threshold. On the other side, monsters wait. Creatures born when Hunters break—warriors twisted into something that only remembers hunger, their humanity consumed by an endless need to kill and feed. When a Spider creature hunts Ryo across burning ruins, he's dragged into the last sanctuary: a dojo at the edge of both worlds, run by a woman who expected his arrival. Tsukihime offers him a choice—one that isn't really a choice at all. A blade. A Kizugami—a weapon forged from wounds themselves, blessed with a terrible awareness. It doesn't serve the wielder. It judges them. And in the moment Ryo touches the hilt, he feels it: the blade seeing into him, searching for something, finding him wanting. But there's no walking back. A Kaimon hunts him. A cosmic Eye watches from the sky. And somewhere in the gathering darkness, something vast and inevitable is moving toward the world's end. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. Never wanted to inherit a curse he didn't deserve. But fate, it seems, has already made its choice for him. The only question left is: when everything is stripped away—when he's forced to become something other than human—can he still stand as himself once more? Or will the blade consume him like it has consumed all the others?

DXD: Kaiser

DxD: Kaiser Power is not inherited. It is forged. Kaiser Godwill was never meant to exist. Once an ordinary young man with an unfulfilled hunger for something greater, he dies and is granted a second chance in a world where angels descend, devils rule from the shadows, and dragons embody primordial law. Reborn into the wealthy Godwill family in Kuoh Town, Kaiser awakens not as a mere human—but as the descendant of an ancient being long erased from history. When his bloodline resonates with the primordial shadow dragon Nyxarion, the Abyssal Sovereign, Kaiser’s evolution begins. Unlike traditional dragons who rely solely on overwhelming force, Kaiser creates something new—an original power system built upon structured cores and abyssal energy. As his strength grows, so does his understanding of the supernatural world’s fragile balance. Stray devils stalk the night. The Church watches cautiously. The devil factions rule Kuoh from behind polite smiles. And the canon events of High School DxD are approaching. But Kaiser has no intention of being a side character in someone else’s story. Calm. Analytical. Ruthlessly efficient. He trains relentlessly—mastering martial arts, refining abyssal spellcraft, and testing his strength against the hidden monsters of Kuoh. Every battle sharpens him. Every decision moves him closer to a single goal: To stand at the apex—not as a pawn of angels, devils, or fallen— But as a sovereign force unto himself. As factions begin to notice the quiet distortion forming in their territory, one question remains: Will Kaiser join the game… Or will he rewrite its rules? This is a High School DxD fanfic. I do NOT own High School Dxd.
