If you like game of thrones, avatar the last airbender, star wars and zootopia, then this is the story for you. A world full of humanoid animals called Anisarians divided into 12 different habitat nations. Petty squabbles and past rivalries threated to erupt into all out World War between the nations, forcing all caught in the crossfire to choose a side. In the chaos are five interconnected stories of heroes and villains, mighty rulers, and humble refugees just trying to make it through the turbulent times they now find themselves unable to escape from. Only the strongest shall rule in an age of betrayal, conquest, and atrocities. But in a world turned monstrous. Some will not give in to what instinct demand's them to be in order to survive. Only time and blood will tell who will stand victorious, or rule over nothing but an empire of the fallen. Note: Some chapters may be unfinished.

Second book of RTSSIA Series. Read Book 1 through here: https://www.webnovel.com/book/34280531508761905 --------------- Commander Hans Flemmens is no longer just a survivor. With the Construction Yard deployed and a functioning base established, he now commands an army that does not tire, does not falter, and does not run out of ammunition. But a base is only the beginning. Beyond the industrial sector lies Grefort City—a hundred-kilometer expanse drowning in millions of infected. Hive clusters lurk beneath its streets, evolving with every passing day. And somewhere within its depths, the truth behind the zombie virus and Project HELIX waits to be uncovered. To secure his foothold, Hans must do more than defend. He must expand. Strategic facilities must be captured. Power grids must be restored. Entire districts must be reclaimed—one block at a time. Yet the infected are not his only enemies. Other survivors have begun to rise. And not all of them are willing to follow. In a world where the dead never rest and the living grow more dangerous by the day—a Commander must decide: Will he save what remains of humanity… or die trying to conquer it?

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification. It is intended for mature readers interested in political strategy, historical speculation, and philosophical conflict. Not recommended for those seeking light entertainment. Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

This world of Chakra is harsh, but rewarding. Kotetsu Hoku is a shinobi just trying to protect the people he cares about. In order to do that, he will have to face against suspicious clans, ambitious murderers, beasts of mass destruction, power hungry nations, immortal beings, and individuals who might as well be gods. And before he's finished, the baton will need to be passed on. Because the fighting never stops for the first Hokage. This is a progression fantasy story. Very loose fan fiction based on Naruto. Entirely original characters, original plot, and heavily rewritten world. Sometimes, the only similarity between canon and this will be in name. This story is Noob friendly! If you didn't bother reading or watching Naruto (or any subsequent series), don't worry as this story will explain abilities and powers as they are brought into focus. For those that did view the original story, I hope you enjoy this one. It had a lot of thought and effort put into it. Even though this story is effectively a rewrite of the lore, please know that A LOT of the previously mentioned effort was put into ensuring the power system feels like a natural evolution of Naruto's power system. Basically, it's the only thing really connecting this story as a fanfic to Naruto at all. The sheer number of hours I have personally spent (wasted) trying to rationalise things from the original story are mind boggling, all for the reason of expanding on them for use in this story. Story Synopsis: The story begins with an event that seemingly jump-starts the Warring States period; Clans that should be at each other's throats are only just beginning to scratch the surface. War has yet to completely bloody the lands. The ancestors of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha take the stage alongside other important figures over 40 years before the pair are even meant to be born. Witness this new alternate history as it unfolds. Warning: Long term story. No reincarnation, no isekai, no inserts. Multiple character perspectives. If you're wondering 'why bother writing all of this', stick around and find out. Please..! (Also posted on: Royalroad, Fanfiction, and AO3!)

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying. -- This is translation but don't worry for I AM HERE, I will be the poison tester and remove all the poison I can to make the this Good story, Very Very Good.

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.

WARNING: 18+ content story. Mission: 100 power stones. Current: 34 power stones. Double update promised once mission goal has been met. Sold for three grains of rice, Elara was meant to be nothing—a pawn in a game of power she didn’t understand. But the moment she stepped into the palace, her life became a battlefield of desire, obsession, and secrets. King Kaelis, cursed and cold, rules with iron and fire. No one bends his will… except her. She cannot read him, cannot control him, and yet, he dominates her every thought. As jealousy, lust, and dark ambition clash within the palace walls, alliances will crumble, hearts will break, and even the strongest minds will falter. In a world where destiny cannot be escaped and betrayal hides behind every smile, Elara must navigate deadly schemes, forbidden desires, and a love that consumes all reason. To survive… she must become untouchable.

"Within crimson walls, every smile hides a secret, every decree changes a destiny, and every woman must decide whether to bloom... or be forgotten." When three young women enter the Imperial Palace on the same day, none of them knows that their lives—and the future of the Empire—are about to become inseparably entwined. Yu Anhai, the calm and dutiful daughter of the politically neutral House Yu, is chosen to become the Crown Princess. Bound by duty rather than love, she must navigate a palace where every gesture is scrutinized, every alliance is tested, and every mistake carries the weight of an empire. Meiqi, the clever daughter of a wealthy merchant family, is presented to the Emperor as a gift. Expecting to disappear among countless palace women, she instead catches the attention of the most unreadable man in the realm. In a court where imperial favor is both a blessing and a curse, she soon discovers that the Emperor's trust is more dangerous than anyone's jealousy. Sera, a spirited noblewoman from a distant western kingdom, arrives as a diplomatic guest only to find herself betrothed to Prince Jianyu—a proud prince who distrusts everything her homeland represents. As their reluctant partnership begins, Sera must prove that strength can wear a gentle smile, and that understanding is sometimes the greatest victory of all. Surrounded by ambitious consorts, calculating nobles, powerful empresses, and princes with hidden agendas, the three women must learn that survival in the Inner Court is not won by beauty or birth—but by wisdom, patience, and unwavering loyalty. Friendships will be forged where rivalry is expected. Love will bloom where duty first took root. And as the petals of spring fall upon the palace, three ordinary women will quietly shape the destiny of an empire. In the Imperial Palace, swords are rarely drawn... because the most dangerous battles are fought with silence.

Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script… a doomed background character. But that’s fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick’s group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside.

From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won’t follow or assist Rick’s group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

"I am the rot in your foundation. I will crawl back from hell and bury this world." Those were Red’s final words as his classmates watched him dissolve.

To bring their vision to life, they recruit the world's brightest geneticists, biologists, and medical scientists. But such an experiment requires human test subjects.

When Xia awakens, she finds herself emerging from a glass pod inside a ruined laboratory. The once-bustling facility is now silent, its halls littered with destruction and devoid of the scientists who once occupied it. Stepping outside, she is met with an even greater nightmare.
