You follow Ulne, that have heard stories about people with magic in a mountain sins he was a kid, and now that he is an adult, he choose to go to the mountain and see if the stories is true.

Di Yan is reborn into the shinobi world as the most overlooked prince of the Land of Fire’s Daimyo. Ignored. Disregarded. Powerless. That is how his story begins. But mercy is a luxury for those who never intend to rule. Through ruthless strategy and calculated bloodshed, Di Yan eliminates every rival in the struggle for succession and seizes the throne. Yet one problem remains: One nation. Two powers. The Daimyo rules the state. Konoha controls the military. Is that not the true betrayal of the Land of Fire? To centralize authority, he begins where all revolutions begin — by breaking the old order. Konoha must fall. From there, the Five Great Shinobi Villages follow in relentless succession. War of annexation sweeps across the continent. The era of divided shinobi nations collapses beneath imperial ambition. At last, Di Yan proclaims himself Emperor — the first to unify the entire shinobi world under a single banner. But conquest alone is not his greatest weapon. He awakens a mysterious ability: The Deep Resonance Replication System. Through profound chakra synchronization, he can analyze, replicate, and evolve the abilities of others. The Sharingan. The Byakugan. Wood Release. Advanced genjutsu. Unique kekkei genkai. One by one, the greatest powers of the era fall into his grasp. Even the Akatsuki begin to question themselves. “Compared to him… who is truly the villain?” And legends of the past whisper in disbelief: Madara Uchiha. Hashirama Senju. “Can the shinobi world truly be unified?” A ruthless emperor. A collapsing era. A world forced into unity. History will not ask whether he was kind. Only whether he succeeded.

Ok it's my first time writing a synopsis so I'll try my best and NO THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION: --------------------------------------------------------------- Humans become either good or evil through the process of learning. However that rule is not absolute. There are rare moments of goodwill shown by evil men. There are bad intentions shown on a whim by a saint. This contrast is what makes humans into humans. But ultimately at the beginning of it all, the only truth they know is the existence of truth. This is the story of a kid born in this world with absolutely nothing to call his own, unable to understand his surroundings and the people around him. While not so much at the beginning this is ultimately HIS story. During this time he will meet many people and see many things. He will struggle to undertsand the things happening around him and will most likely not be able to succeed at everything he tries. His life started changing after meeting a man who is more greedy than anyone else, is more vocious than anyone else, more arrogant than anyone else and the list goes on and on. And well............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ the rest is in the story so maybe you should think about reading it

Core Premise After The Rending, a catastrophic event that tore open dimensional rifts, humanity survives by forming Pacts: soul-binding contracts with mythical beings. Those who wield these bonds, known as Predators, defend the world against the Hollows, monsters pouring endlessly from the rifts. Main Protagonist: Kael Ashford Kael Ashford (17) is blind, orphaned, and deemed unfit for service until a desperate accident traps him in a forbidden dungeon. There, he encounters Lucifer, the Morningstar, a fallen Mythical-tier being. Through cunning and will, Kael reverses the pact, gaining dominance over Lucifer and awakening Lightless Sight, a unique ability to perceive the world through energy rather than vision. Assigned to the 79th Vanguard Unit, “Graveyard Shift”, a squad of rejects and misfits, Kael fights alongside: Lillian Frost (Athena) – compassionate idealist Gyro Kagune (Achilles) – reckless optimist Marcus “Forge” Steelhardt – hardened veteran leader Yuki Tsukino (Nyx) – silent shadow assassin Dante Cross (Loki) – theatrical illusionist Together, they survive missions through ingenuity, trust, and unbreakable bonds. Secondary Protagonist: Levius Vedi Levius Vedi (18), known as Humanity’s Last Cry, bonded with Leviathan at age seven after brutal training in a mythical realm. Cold, precise, and overwhelmingly powerful, he once slaughtered over 26,000 Hollows in a single day. Though seemingly emotionless, Levius is driven by an unwavering sense of justice. His rival-turned-ally Lura Venici (Phantom Phoenix) challenges his belief that strength alone can save humanity, forcing him to confront the value of compassion and connection. Central Conflict The Hollows are evolving. Led by intelligent commanders and guided by the enigmatic Herald, they are no longer mindless invaders but an organized force. The Herald identifies Kael’s unprecedented bond with Lucifer as a threat and marks him for elimination. At the same time, corruption within the Predators, embodied by disgraced Commander Raze Vulkan, undermines humanity from within through political manipulation and class division. Key Themes Seeing beyond sight The cost of power Found family Justice versus revenge Hope born from collective will Long-Term Trajectory The story builds toward The Second Rending, a prophesied convergence of dimensions that will either save or erase existence. Kael must evolve Lucifer beyond Tier 5, master his Awakened State, and decide whether to sacrifice his bond to seal Nihil, the primordial void that birthed the Hollows. Levius confronts whether his upbringing made him a hero or a weapon, seeking redemption through protection rather than annihilation. The Graveyard Shift rises as legend, proving that unity and care can surpass perfection. Genre & Tone Dark Shonen/Seinen featuring strategic combat, political intrigue, psychological depth, clear power progression, and found-family dynamics. Attack on Titan meets My Hero Academia meets Fullmetal Alchemist, centered on a blind protagonist who sees the truth more clearly than anyone alive.

​Most heroes get chosen by destiny. Shunya got bought by a cosmic loan shark. ​On the dying planet of Blood-Stone, being a 'Zero' means your life is worth less than dirt. Shunya willingly shatters his own ribs every day just to earn three copper coins for his mother’s medicine.

Defaulting will result in immediate termination.] ​There are no free stats here. Three minutes of superhuman strength? That costs 5 years of his lifespan. Fusing a broken bone? That’s another debt. The System demands he become a monster, harvesting the lives of his enemies just to pay his daily installments. ​But as Shunya bleeds his way up from the slums, uncovering the devastating secrets of the '16 Divine Fires' and a white-eyed girl, he realizes something dangerous. He doesn't just want to clear his debt anymore. He wants to bankrupt the universe that made him suffer. ​They called him a Zero. But even the gods will soon learn... the count always starts from Zero.

But Marie's awakening has made her sensitive to what he's been concealing for years. So, what will he do? ***** When the Space Stones fell, they brought superpowers to a world that had none.

In her final week before leaving for the academy, Marie senses something monstrous at her ordinary high school. High on the rooftop, a presence radiates such overwhelming death that it paralyzes her with primal fear. What will she do? And how will Roy respond? *********** what to expect No Harem Slow-Burn Romance Subplot: The romance is secondary to the plot Heavy Themes: Expect deep dives into morality, guilt, and the psychological weight of a dark past. An OP protagonist who would rather die than use his power. Politics: A world where words are as dangerous as weapons and every move has a consequence. This doesn’t really come into play until later arcs. Calculating Protagonist: A smart, competent MC who thinks before acting and won't be easily manipulated. Character-Driven Drama: While there is a lot of action, the core of the story is the internal struggle of a man trying to outrun his own soul.

The world ended not with monsters, but with human fear. Betrayed at the moment everything collapsed, he died powerless — watching others seize the future he never reached. Death should have been the end. Instead, he awakens at the beginning of the apocalypse, bound to a sword that does not grant power freely. Every strike demands a price. Pain. Blood. Something far more precious. In a world where strength decides survival, mercy becomes a liability. If power must be paid for, then he will choose how much of himself he is willing to lose — even if the blade devours him piece by piece. Because in the apocalypse, strength is never given. It is bought.

I fixed the soil. I fixed the water. I fixed the crop yields and the infant mortality and the seventeen diseases that kill farmers before their children learn to walk. I did this in the Southern Domain first, and then I did it everywhere else. People thanked me. Some of them fought me. The ones who fought me died, and the ones who thanked me lived longer and ate better and their children grew up without the particular look that hungry children have. I am going to fix everything. When I am finished, no one will suffer. No one will starve. No one will bury a child. A girl from a dead village thinks this is a problem. She may be right. I cannot determine why. ........ I spent thirty thousand years at the bottom of a well, listening to people eat dinner. I know what rice sounds like when it boils. I know the difference between a child running and a child being chased. I know that the old man told the same fish story four hundred and twelve times during my last century of consciousness, and the fish was never the same size twice, and nobody corrected him, and I loved him for it.

Beni was never meant to stand out. Ignored, underestimated, and easily forgotten — he lives where most people stop looking. But invisibility is not weakness. It is freedom. The freedom to observe, to understand… and to control. While others chase power through force, Beni studies something far more dangerous — human nature itself. Every fear, every desire, every hidden flaw becomes part of a design only he can see. Soon, events begin unfolding with unnatural precision. People move as if guided. Secrets surface at the perfect moment. Conflicts ignite… then disappear. No one knows who is responsible — only that something unseen is shaping reality from the shadows. As hidden networks form and influence spreads, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: Beni isn’t just playing the game. He is rewriting the rules of control, loyalty, and fear. But when a mind begins to reshape the world… what remains of humanity — his or everyone else’s?
