I'm Not A Master, I'm A Director (Creating Fate Movie In Nasuverse)

“Director Matou, the magical effects in your fantasy film looked incredibly realistic! How did you pull them off?” “They were real magic,” Shinji replied without missing a beat. “Director Matou, your historical drama was praised for its uncanny accuracy. How did you manage that?” “I had direct consultation from the people who lived in that era.” “Director, in your tokusatsu films, why does the Ultraman-like hero always use Bajiquan in combat?” “Well, that’s because the actor playing him is none other than the founder of Bajiquan himself.” “Director Matou, why do the female leads in all your films look so… similar? Especially all those Arturia actresses with the same name and face?” “That, my friend, is a long story. And it all begins with a certain mushroom-headed man—” “......” . . . . . Shinji Matou. A prodigious talent in the world of film, a renegade magi who defied the orthodoxy of the Clock Tower, and an eccentric summoner who had long since stopped pretending to get along with his own Servant. A director who blended modern cinema with ancient magecraft. A magus who saw the silver screen as a new kind of reality marble. He stood boldly before a press conference filled with journalists, film critics, and confused magi alike. “I am the greatest Master among Directors—and the greatest Director among Masters!” He declared it like a line straight out of his own movie, with all the pomp and confidence of a man who had rewritten the rules of both cinema and sorcery. The hall fell into an awkward silence. And then, in perfect unison, a thunderous cry echoed from behind the curtains— “SHUT UP AND GET LOST!” ×N A chorus of exasperated Servants, all fed up with his antics. Shinji didn’t flinch. He simply smirked, adjusted his director’s beret, and turned back to the flashing cameras. "Good! Now let’s roll the cameras! Scene one—reality itself."

Naruto: The Butterfly Effect

Walking through the streets, without looking both ways, is usually when Truck-kun sends a new soul to a different world... This is exactly what happened to poor Renji, reborn in the body of an Uchiha child named Renjiro. Panicked, afraid of the possibility of not even reaching the age to learn walking, he soon realises he still has time... It's not yet close to the boiling point, as he was lucky to be born early. Now, growing up right beside Minato, Renjiro vows to use his second life and all he knows about the world to change everything. To save himself, he is determined to protect those doomed by history and stop the tragedies that are about to unfold... But the past is fragile, and destiny does not like to be rewritten. Every choice he makes may send unwanted ripples through time, and every ripple may change someone else's future. Or simply... delay the inevitable. And when too much has already changed, who knows what would happen next? Can one soul rewrite the destiny of so many others, or will the butterfly effect turn his good intentions into a new kind of catastrophe? Hey-ho, Dear Readers! If you want to know a little more before heading into it, I thought to pop in and give you some bullet points about what to expect from this story. - OC lead to give myself more freedom, instead of taking over an existing character. - Slow progression, from childhood to adulthood. - No OP MC, but strong enough to keep the pace with the likes of Minato. - As mentioned, the MC will be growing up alongside that generation. I am aiming to recreate a Team 7-style early time, with the MC, Minato & Kushina, under Jiraiya's lead. Now, I know, for those who read the Minato one-shot, won't like it, or who knows... For me, that story had multiple great points, yes, but it also has issues when slotting it into the original timeline. Anyway, long story short, I am going to ignore that, use the original timeline as a base, and lift over those parts that worked as a whole. - I'll do my best to stick to the base lore, but I will bend it where it serves the story. Especially as things get changed and we deviate more and more from supposed events. - Lastly, I will try to keep closer to the original lore, not the Shippuden one, in terms of power creep. Sharingan use got out of hand, and although the MC is of the Uchiha clan, I want to keep it reasonable and bring back the Sharingan from the OG Naruto. That is all, really. As for romance, it may happen, but no, the MC is not going to steal Kushina, don't even think about it. His goal will be simple: to prevent the incoming tragedies to the best of his efforts, and if and when Naruto is born, he will have his parents. Expect 2 or 3 chapters per week.

At the Beginning, I Put a Green Hat on Verlaine

He transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Asou Akiya’s new parents were dead, he had no ties, no burdens, no way back; the original owner had left him nothing but a precarious foothold as the lowliest grunt in Yokohama’s most notorious port organization. For an ordinary human without a single ability, simply staying alive was set to nightmare difficulty. No golden finger from the heavens? Then he would forge his own. Four years later. Destiny finally handed him its greatest turning point. After a cataclysmic explosion rocked the city, Asou Akiya, with meticulous calculation and trembling hands, rescued a breathtaking French beauty who had lost all memory. The man had been betrayed, abandoned, left fragile and shivering in the cold; yet beneath that porcelain vulnerability burned a soul of blinding brilliance and combat prowess that touched the very ceiling of this world. “…Who… am I?” “You are a romantic French poet, Rimbaud.” “A poet?” “Yes,” Akiya whispered, voice steady as scripture, “and you are the love of my life.” From that moment, Asou Akiya placed him upon the apex of his heart and spoiled him rotten. He soothed every wound with tenderness, watered the tender shoots of love with carefully tended lies, and watched them bloom. So what if memory returned one day? He had already seized the most priceless treasure in the world. Thank you, Verlaine! The partner you were willing to discard is now my wife. 【Asou Akiya × Rimbaud (French name: Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud)】 {Mon âme éternelle, Observe ton voeu Malgré la nuit seule Et le jour en feu.} O my eternal soul, Hold fast to desire In spite of the night And the day on fire. — From A Season in Hell, Rimbaud
