Villain Awakening: Rising to the Strongest Dragon God

Name's Julien Moreaux.. I died of terminal-illness at twenty-four. Woke up as the villain. Not just any villain, Auryn Ignisar, Third Prince of the Dragon Empire. The one who gets betrayed, broken, and executed in Chapter 47 of a web novel I'd read twenty times while dying---Yeah some mad re-read value...I know! Well, here's the thing: I remember everything. Every assassination. Every artifact. Every traitor wearing a loyal smile. The Hero who's coming to "save" the empire by putting a sword through my chest. But I'm not the original Auryn anymore. I have a System that sees through lies. An SSS-Rank Talent that lets me CREATE from nothing—weapons, techniques, power itself. And I have zero intention of following the script. Root out the spies? Done. Claim legendary relics before the Hero does? Already moving. Outmaneuver two older brothers who'd sell me for a political advantage? I'm three moves ahead. My province is dying. My wives don't trust me. The Empire thinks I'm weak. Good. Let them think that, while I rebuild everything from the ground up, not into what it was, but into something the novel never saw coming. Dragons inherit thrones. I'm going to forge mine from the ashes of a fate that was never mine to begin with.

The Dragon Conqueror

After dying an unremarkable death in a modern world, a man is reincarnated into a brutal fantasy continent where dragons rule the skies, royal bloodlines decide fate, and power is earned through fire and war. He awakens as the youngest prince of a declining royal family—weak-bodied, politically irrelevant, and quietly despised. His only advantage is the memory of a past life filled with strategy, patience, and an unyielding will to survive. In this world, dragons are not just monsters but symbols of authority, living calamities bound to ancient laws. Kingdoms rise by dragonfire and fall by dragon wrath. While others seek to slay or worship dragons, the reincarnated prince chooses a forbidden path: to understand, dominate, and ultimately conquer them—not through brute strength alone, but through intelligence, alliances, and long-term vision. Starting from the lowest rung of power, he trains relentlessly, awakens a rare dragon-related bloodline, and slowly builds influence within the royal court. His growth is gradual and realistic—marked by failures, political setbacks, and near-death experiences. As his strength increases, so does the attention around him. Multiple female leads enter his life from different walks of power: a cold royal sister bound by duty and secrets, a dragon-blooded noblewoman struggling against her instincts, a genius mage loyal to knowledge over morality, a warrior princess from a rival kingdom, and others whose ambitions intertwine with his rise. Each relationship develops naturally through shared survival, politics, trust, and emotional growth—forming a harem rooted in loyalty, tension, and mutual benefit rather than instant romance. As the story progresses, the focus expands from personal survival to kingdom building. The protagonist establishes his own faction, reforms military structures, introduces new systems of governance inspired by his past life, and slowly transforms a weak territory into a rising empire. Slice-of-life moments—training, banquets, diplomacy, family conflicts—balance massive wars and dragon-scale battles. Behind the scenes, ancient truths emerge: dragons were never meant to be conquered, reincarnation is no accident, and the world itself resists change. Gods, dragon emperors, and hidden civilizations begin to move as the protagonist’s influence grows. By the later arcs, The Dragon Conqueror evolves into an epic spanning continents and generations—where the once-weak prince stands at the center of a new era, challenging the very laws of the world, deciding whether he will rule as a conqueror, a king, or something far more dangerous. A long-form, slow-burn fantasy saga focused on growth, relationships, strategy, and the cost of absolute power.

LOTR: Children of Refusal

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!

Naruto: Making Konoha Great Again!

Year 41 of Konoha. The Second Shinobi World War has barely cooled, and peace already feels like a lie. Inside the village, factions whisper in the dark and old loyalties start to crack. Outside the walls, the other four great hidden villages are rearming, watching Konoha like wolves circling a wounded lion, just waiting for the right moment to strike. Then a hard-bitten political veteran wakes up in a body that shouldn’t be his: Hiruzen Sarutobi. And he isn’t alone in his own head. A single page appears in his mind like an official report, cold and clinical, listing five measures that will decide everything: authority, diplomacy, military strength, the economy, and education. Raise them, and Konoha rises with him. Fail, and the village goes down with the Third. So Hiruzen does what he’s always done best: he takes control. It starts with the biggest ticking bomb on his doorstep. “Orochimaru,” he tells him, steady and certain, “you’ve always been the student I’m proudest of.” From there, the plan only grows sharper, faster, more ruthless. Does he believe in the Will of Fire? He does now. Because Konoha isn’t going to survive by coasting. Recruit the geniuses. Overhaul the system. Turn “miracle” health tonics into a weapon that bleeds the nobles and bankrolls the village. Make Konoha the shinobi world’s beacon. Pull the Hyuga and Uchiha into one direction instead of letting them tear the village apart. Support the civilians. Push technology forward. Develop a universal “Hashirama vaccine.” Even the impossible starts sounding like policy. Revive Tobirama in an Uchiha body? If it keeps Konoha standing, it’s on the table. When Hiruzen steps onto the Hokage Tower and looks down at the sea of faces, the roar that rises up could crack stone. “In the name of the Hokage,” he declares, “we’re making Konoha great again.”
