Pablo Drake is dying. No one can name the disease consuming him. No one knows how to cure it. Most refuse to speak of it at all. Pablo refuses to accept that. In a world of magic and Treasures born from the human soul, he searches desperately for anything that might buy him another day. Every answer draws him deeper into a reality where dreams are punished, pain is easier to bury than face, and saying “that’s enough” has never made anything stop. He will lie. He will fight. He will cling to anyone who makes tomorrow feel possible. Because Pablo does not want to die nobly. He wants to live. But his illness is not an accident. It began with something he did to survive, and curing it will mean confronting the one truth he built his entire life to escape. If survival means waking up, will Pablo still choose to live? --- In the year 497 AS, three years before the promised prophecy is said to be fulfilled, Pablo must set out to sea and discover his destiny. He'll meet wonderful characters, make alliances, and upset some people. He must use and master his Treasure in order to keep going, even if he doesn't know why. This is the story of Pablo Drake and his rebirth.

[Naruto] Time Travel: Starting with Hashirama's Cells Betraying the Leaf: Sasuke's Path to Godhood The Otsutsuki God, Shibai, descended. And the Shinobi World was erased. No amount of willpower, friendship, or Jutsu mattered. Sasuke Uchiha watched his wife, his daughter, his only true friend, and his disciples get slaughtered like insects. In his dying breath, sacrificing a Mangekyou Sharingan for Izanagi, and with the final desperate help of Orochimaru, he rewrote the timeline. Drip. Drip. Sasuke opened his eyes. Cold rain battered his face. He was standing at the Valley of the End. Across from him was a young Naruto Uzumaki, shouting about bonds and bringing him back to the Hidden Leaf. A blood-red Mangekyou spun in the moonlight. This time, Sasuke didn't feel rage or petty rivalry. He only felt the cold, calculating weight of the apocalypse to come. To hell with playing ninja games. To hell with the hypocritical will of fire. If a mortal body cannot kill a god... then I will become a monster that even gods fear. Abandoning the original timeline's foolish path, Sasuke embraces Orochimaru's forbidden research. Fusing the pinnacle of Uchiha ocular power with Senju Hashirama's cells, he begins his ruthless evolution. From Wood Release to the Rinnegan. From a rogue ninja to a true Otsutsuki. But is becoming an Otsutsuki enough to stop Shibai? No. He will have to devour them all. [What to Expect] Ruthless MC: Pragmatic, cold, and utterly unforgiving. No "Talk no Jutsu." Extreme Evolution: Scientific ninja tools + Bloodline fusion. Watch Sasuke hack the genetic code of the Shinobi world. Fast-paced Action: Curbstomping original timeline threats with future knowledge and absolute power. Dark Progression: Walking the path of a supreme deity, sacrificing whatever it takes to save the future.

Before time, before matter, there was the Absolute Being—an existence born from nothing and existing within an endless void. That void, stretched infinitely in every direction, offering no sound, no light, or any change. Eternity passed in silence, and isolation became the Being’s only companion. To escape the crushing stillness, the Absolute Being began to create. From within that emptiness, emerged countless worlds—each one shaped by different laws, each seeded with entities and lifeforms of staggering variety. To all of these creations, the Being granted power—forces that allowed them to build civilizations, wage wars, forge peace, and govern the fragile balance of their worlds. Some used their gifts to protect existence, while others sought domination or annihilation. Entire histories unfolded beneath the Being’s distant gaze. All of it served a single purpose: entertainment. The struggles, triumphs, and tragedies of mortals filled the Void with motion and meaning. Yet as ages turned into eternities, even creation itself grew predictable. The rise and fall of worlds blurred together, and the Absolute Being found itself once more staring into boredom as vast as the Void it had tried to escape. At last, the Being reached a single inevitable conclusion. If creation was no longer enough… then there was only one way left to truly escape boredom. And so, the final experiment began. A/N : Volume 2 and onwards will contain much darker themes, controversial topics and scenes, as well as a few adult content. Please bare that in mind when reading it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.

Long before recorded history, the world was said to belong to Primordial Creatures beings of immense power who shaped mountains, seas, and skies through their will alone. Though they faded into myth, their essence never truly vanished. From that ancient world flows Qi, the living current that binds soul to flesh, beast to human, and life itself to the balance of the world. As humanity grew, they learned to observe the creatures around them. Shrines were built, traditions were forged, and through generations of study, humans discovered that Qi was not simply magic but a reflection of the soul’s true nature. By awakening it, one could transform into a beast form, a manifestation of the spirit within. Yet Qi is neither good nor evil. It can be shaped into Order, bringing stability and harmony, or twisted into Chaos, unleashing volatile and destructive power. Both paths demand balance, for those who lean too far risk corruption, instability… or losing themselves entirely. Runes and ancient artifacts can guide the flow of Qi, enhancing its power or bending it beyond its natural limits. But every shortcut carries a cost. In this world shaped by power, belief, and forgotten truths, a boy named Vyvian, from a quiet village, sets out on a journey to train and awaken his own abilities. But when he returns home, he discovers a truth so devastating that it shatters everything he once believed. With the past behind him and the future uncertain, Vyvian is forced to walk a path far greater than he ever imagined, one that will lead him to question the very foundations of the world itself. For in a world where the soul determines power, and power shapes destiny… the greatest danger may not lie in beasts and relics but in the truth humanity was never meant to uncover.
