Aren is a knight who fears one thing more than death—doing wrong. In a world shaped by conflict, where every decision carries consequence, he chooses restraint. Silence. Distance. He convinces himself that by avoiding action, he can preserve something pure within him. But the world does not wait for certainty. When his hesitation leads to loss—lives that could have been saved, harm that could have been prevented—Aren is forced to confront a truth he has long avoided: Good intentions do not protect others. Guided by a perceptive commander, a quiet but unwavering companion, and a king who sees through every excuse, Aren begins a journey not of strength—but of responsibility. To act. To choose. To carry the weight of consequence. As battles intensify and choices grow harsher, Aren must face the ultimate question: If every action risks being wrong… is doing nothing ever right? A Prayer Without Hands is a story of faith, responsibility, and the dangerous comfort of inaction—where true devotion is not found in stillness, but in the courage to act. ---------- DISCLAIMER : Hey! This is my first novel. It's a slow-burn story that may challenge you intellectually. I'd truly appreciate any feedback to help me improve, enjoy!

In the city of Vaun, all debt is visible. Every person carries their obligations in the chest like a second heartbeat, and the Bureau of Existential Accounts employs men and women to assess, administer, and when necessary, cancel what is owed. Soren Vael has worked assessments for eleven years. He is precise, methodical, and owes nothing. This last fact is, technically, impossible. When the Bureau’s best investigator dies and passes her final case to Soren specifically, he finds himself holding a record no one was supposed to find: an account eighteen thousand years old with no debtor attached, sitting in the Bureau’s oldest records and quietly taking interest from everyone who looks at it too closely. Interest paid not in money but in memory. In the things people loved and didn’t know they had lost. The investigation that follows will take Soren below the city, through organizations that predate it, and into the oldest archive in Vaun, where he will learn what he actually is, what has been living in him since before he was born, and why the entity that is owed forty thousand years of human existence has been patient long enough. The Ledger of Unmade Things is for readers who finished Reverend Insanity and Lord of the Mysteries and found nothing that hit the same way. It is a story about debt, memory, and what it costs to close the largest unclosed account in the history of the world. Volume One: The Cost of Seeing Clearly. patreon: https://patreon.com/SevAldren

Long Tian, the man once feared across the world as the Fox King, leader of the strongest mercenary group alive, has returned to China after years of bloodshed on distant battlefields. But the moment he returns, he is forced into an arranged marriage decided long ago by his grandfather. His fiancée? The cold and untouchable queen of the business world, a woman standing at the peak of a billion-dollar empire. To her, Long Tian is nothing more than a worthless man with no achievements, someone unworthy of even standing beside her. Thus, a six-month marriage contract is signed. Two strangers bound by duty. One cold and proud. One calm and unfathomable.

Hidden master. A man who walks between ancient secrets and the modern world.

Born with eyes that see too much and a body that rejects itself, Shiranui Rin was never meant to live a normal life. He was born wrong. Blue eyes no one could name. A body torn between chakra and a darker force no shinobi could understand. Migraines, pain, and whispers followed Shiranui Rin from the day he opened his eyes. Shiranui Rin was born with the Six Eyes… and every cursed technique imprinted in his brain. In the world of Naruto, where chakra reigns supreme, Rin alone possesses cursed energy — a force that clashes with his chakra and threatens to destroy him from within. Hunted for his mysterious blue eyes and burdened by constant pain, he hides his condition while training in Konoha. He is not the strongest. . . . In a world of bloodlines, tailed beasts, and war, what happens when a boy becomes the bridge between life energy and the darkness that rejects it? This is not the story of a hero born strong. This is the story of a child who survived long enough to become unstoppable. . . . [A/N]: Before you continue with the upcoming Chapters of this story, there's something important I want to clarify. This story is set in the Naruto world, but it won't follow the same narrative rules as the original series. In canon, many characters with real potential were pushed aside or reduced to hype tools so the spotlight could stay on Naruto and Sasuke. Amazing ninjas were ignored, underused, or treated like background decorations. In this story, I will try to avoid that so it won't happen. Here: Characters with talent will actually matter. Power isn't limited to a handful of people. Characters won't exist only to make the main character look good. Every skill, clan ability, and specialty will have weight in the world. That doesn't mean everyone will be absurdly strong. It means they will be relevant, dependable, and active, the way a true shinobi force should operate. So if some characters feel stronger or more capable than you remember in the OG Naruto, it's because they're finally being used instead of being overshadowed. This world is still dangerous, unpredictable, and imperfect… but it's alive, and the people in it matter. If you're ready for a version of Naruto where potential isn't wasted, and the world doesn't revolve around just two characters— Welcome to the story.

This is a fan translation of 数码骇客之追忆 The original author is 懒人zro Art is by takatomon_(rebelki01101507) Edit is by ClayTL Please support them! === Standing silently amid a world composed entirely of blood and flames. The WarGreymon, his body mostly encased in pale yellow alloy armor, stared helplessly into the sky. His expression carried an indescribable sorrow and decay. Traversing countless timelines, seeking endless possibilities, even resetting existing world lines… Even he, hailed as the "Strongest Hacker," had reached complete exhaustion. Yet despite this, he continued to drag his weary body forward, still hoping to grasp that last glimmer of hope. “You want to protect the world…” “But I just want to protect you.” And so, upon this empty apocalyptic plain, only the faint echoes of his last words lingered across the battlefield woven from blood and flame. “Wait for me—I promise I'll walk with you until the very end!” === discord.gg/wisetl
