Naruto: The White Spider of the Leaf

ReinSTR
A young 12-year-old boy is mysteriously reincarnated into the world of Naruto and arrives in the Hidden Leaf Village with the memories of his past life intact. But when he's only 8 years old in this new life, his parents, outsiders who had hoped for a peaceful life in the village, are tragically killed during a trip outside the hidden leaf's walls when their son is still young. Now left as an orphan, Shirokumo enters the Ninja Academy with little more than his wits and a strong determination to survive. To be quite frank, life in the academy is anything but easy. As an outsider, Shirokumo faces scorn and ridicule from both his peers and teachers who see him as nothing more than an unwanted orphan. Even worse, his lack of natural talent makes him seem destined to fail as a ninja. Who would care for someone like that? And to make matters even more dire, Shirokumo soon realizes the time period he's been born into: the Second Great Shinobi War is on the horizon, and he has all but four or so years to prepare for it. He realizes this because he's in the same class as a young Namikaze Minato, which means he's likely to be swept into the horrors of war at an age when he should be enjoying his childhood. No Talent No High-Standing Family Background No Cheat Skills No System How will Shirokumo survive all on his own in this cruel world of Shinobi? Read along to see him become the White Spider of the Leaf! (P.S. Weak-to-Strong MC and No Harem, I'll be taking my time with developing him so don't expect a character that is gonna be broken from the get go. This will be a slow burner, and if that doesn't strike your fancy you can move along to the next webnovel.)

Forged in Chaos: A Transmigrator’s Tale in the DC Universe

Waking up in an alleyway in Gotham City was not how Ethan Reyes expected his day to start. The last thing he remembered was crashing on his couch after a long gaming session, only to find himself in a world he recognized all too well—one filled with gods, monsters, and vigilantes dressed as bats. It took him a moment to realize the city wasn’t just a detailed dream. The distant sirens, the oppressive skyline, and the neon flicker of a nearby ACE Chemicals sign confirmed it. This was Gotham. And that was bad. Then came the pain. It burned through his veins like molten fire before settling into his fingertips. A strange, instinctual urge filled his mind. His gaze landed on the dumpster beside him. Scattered around were a broken switchblade and a rusty pipe. Before he could think, his hands moved on their own, touching both objects. A pulse of energy surged through him, and suddenly, the two items fused—the broken switchblade now embedded itself within the pipe like a makeshift spear. "Holy—What the hell was that?" Experimenting further, he picked up a discarded smartphone and a pair of cheap sunglasses. Another pulse of power, and—bam—a pair of futuristic-looking AR glasses now rested in his hands, displaying HUD information in his vision. That was when it clicked. He had a power—an ability that allowed him to fuse objects together. The results? Unpredictable. Some combinations worked beautifully, while others... not so much. And in a world where Batman, Superman, and the Joker roamed, a power like this was both a blessing and a curse. Survival in Gotham Ethan quickly learned that Gotham was not kind to the weak. Without money or connections, he had to rely on his ability to survive. His first breakthrough came when he fused a lockpick set with a stolen smartwatch—creating a device that could crack digital locks. He used it to raid an abandoned weapons stash, arming himself with gear of his own making. He also experimented with weapons. A standard pistol fused with a flashlight? Now it fired tracer rounds that illuminated targets. A crowbar fused with an electric baton? A shock club capable of stunning enemies. But Gotham was filled with predators. And soon, they noticed him. The Underworld Calls Word spread fast about a "mystic craftsman" who could create bizarre but powerful items. The underworld took interest. First came the low-level thugs, hoping to use him for their own gain. Then came the bigger players. The Penguin wanted to recruit him. Black Mask wanted to own him. And the Joker? He just wanted to see what happened if Ethan fused a grenade with a rubber chicken. It was Batman who intervened first. The Dark Knight, ever the strategist, saw the potential of Ethan’s abilities. But he also saw the danger. In the right hands, Ethan could change the landscape of warfare. In the wrong hands? He could unleash nightmares. The question was—whose hands would he end up in? Survive or Be Consumed As the months passed, Ethan found himself walking a razor’s edge. If he wanted to thrive, he had to be smart. He had to stay ahead of both heroes and villains, mastering his power before someone forced him into a corner. Because in Gotham, there were only two kinds of people: Those who adapted. And those who became stories whispered in the dark.
