Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Marvel: My Eyes Defies Fate.

I thought I was lucky. One moment, I was just another nobody grinding through life — the next, I woke up in a whole new world. No monsters. No systems. No dragons or dungeons. Just… skyscrapers, smartphones, and social media. Modern Earth. Or so I thought. Naturally, I did what any anime-loving, pop-culture junkie would do: I decided to "create" Marvel. Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men, Avengers — all those epic stories from my original world didn’t exist here. I was going to become the next Stan Lee. Famous. Rich. Untouchable. A god of pop culture. But then... Something felt off. I started noticing things. A building named Stark Industries. A news broadcast about a kid in Queens stopping a car with his bare hands. Things that shouldn’t exist. That’s when the truth crashed down like a meteor: I wasn’t in a normal world. I was in the Marvel Universe. No cheats. No systems. No comic book plot armor. And me? Just a regular guy. Or so I believed. Until my eyes began to change. the Ultimate Eye, granting me different Eye prowesses Each ring… a weapon. First Ring: Geass — The Power of Absolute Command and foresight. Third Ring: Sharingan — Perception. Prediction. Illusion. Fourth Ring: Tenseigan — Gravity. Light. Creation. So my Sharingan can evolve? Guess I'd be getting the Rinnegan. I don’t know why I have these powers. But I do know this: In a universe crawling with gods, mutants, monsters, and alien empires — I won’t be a background character. I won’t be collateral damage. I will rise. I will unlock every ring. And when I do… not even the Celestials will stand in my way. Because I’m not just here to survive. __ ********************************** Join our discord server Link: https://discord.gg/Mr8Q62CH Support us on patreon (+Gain access to chapters in advance) Link: patreon.com/Zphyr_ **********************************

One fateful night, while struggling to fix a game-breaking bug that granted players an absurd amount of upgrade points, his exhausted heart gave out. But death wasn't the end for Yu Chen. He awoke in a world strangly familiar... he had transmigrated into the very game he had been working on, now inhabiting the body of a notorious tyrant emperor, Arkanos Bloodbane, whose empire was on the brink of destruction. Surrounded by enemies, with rebellions simmering within and war on every front, Yu Chen, now Arkanos, quickly realizes the gravity of his situation. But to his shock, he discovers that he still has access to the game's system interface—complete with the million upgrade points from the bug he had tried to fix! With his knowledge of game mechanics, strategic mind, and a wealth of upgrade points, Arkanos sets out to turn the crumbling empire into an unstoppable force. He begins by summoning legendary heroes, deploying advanced technologies never before seen in this world, and revolutionizing his military and infrastructure. As he pushes his empire to greatness, Arkanos must navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial court, fend off treacherous factions, and outmaneuver the rival nations that seek to destroy him. But with each victory, he realizes that this world is not just a game—it's his new reality. The stakes are higher, the dangers more real, and the consequences of failure more dire than ever.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

The Shadow Legacy: Aiden ( A Lost Legend warrior )

Shadow Nexus: Origins – Novel (Aiden’s Story) Disclaimer: This is a prequel to The Unknown World of Shadows. You can read it before or after the original novel—both orders are fine and will not spoil the story. Long before the Non-Space threatened multiple dimensions, Aiden stood as a legendary warrior, humanity’s first line of defense against a growing darkness. Gifted with extraordinary mystical powers from his past life and wielding the Nexus Beacon—a lost ancient weapon of immense magical energy—Aiden could face forces that would have destroyed ordinary men. As dimensional rifts began to tear open, shadow creatures emerged, feeding on fear and distortion. Aiden assembled the Shadow Seekers, an elite team of warriors whose skill, courage, and magical abilities rivaled any force in existence: Fenrir, a master of sentry magic and elemental combat, unmatched in both defense and offense. Kael, the youngest member, with lightning reflexes and an uncanny ability to sense danger before it strikes. Liora, the brilliant strategist and mystic, capable of manipulating magical energy to shield the team or attack enemies with precision. Torran, a stealth expert and shadow manipulator, able to move unseen and strike with deadly efficiency. Veyra, a mystical scout whose vision pierces both darkness and illusions, uncovering threats hidden to ordinary senses. Gareth – Shadow manipulator, stealth and magical versatility Together, they fought to seal the rifts, unaware that their actions were shaping the very essence of the Non-Space itself. Amidst the battles, Aiden discovers a horrifying truth: the Eclipse Hound, the ultimate predator of the Non-Space, is already forming, drawn to the energy of the Nexus Beacon and the dimensional tears. To stop it, Aiden must face impossible challenges, confront betrayals within his ranks, and pursue the mystery of the lost Nexus Beacon, whose power could turn the tide—or doom them all. Shadow Nexus: Origins is a tale of courage, sacrifice, and the birth of a legacy—a legacy that will one day be inherited by Evelyn, whose journey unfolds centuries later in The Unknown World of Shadows. Mystery, magic, and shadowed threats intertwine as the first battles of the Non-Space begin, and the story of Aiden, the lost legend, emerges.

Transmigrated Into One Piece With The Strongest Haki.

Ashveil found himself transmigrated into a vast and perilous world dominated by pirates — a realm where the seas stretched endlessly, and only strength determined one’s destiny. Not long after his arrival, fate threw him into a clash of wills against none other than the world’s strongest man himself. That brief but overwhelming encounter left a mark, and in a twist of fortune, Whitebeard personally acknowledged Ashveil’s spirit and appointed him as the Zero Commander of his mighty fleet. From the very start of his journey, Ashveil awakened the mysterious Conqueror’s System — a cheat-like power that allowed him to grow stronger each day in the most unexpected ways. By simply signing in daily and even doing something as ordinary as basking in the sunlight, his strength would rise steadily toward unimaginable heights. In this ruthless ocean where pirates reigned supreme, Ashveil believed there was no conflict that could not be crushed with a burst of King’s Haki. And if there ever appeared a situation where ordinary Haki was insufficient, he had only one solution: to unleash the overwhelming might of his Haki! For in the end, no apologies were necessary when his Haki was destined to be hundreds of millions of points stronger than anyone else’s. ___ Disclaimer: This story features an overpowered main character, though not at god-tier level from the start. If you dislike OP protagonists, this may not be the story for you. Additionally, the narrative will explore multiverse concepts in the later chapters. ___ Read chapters in advance at [email protected]/Zphyr_ Check out my other fanfics, you might like em.

Chronicles of the Abyssal Drifter: [One Piece] [Naruto] [Bleach]

In the turbulent seas of the New World, betrayal had already sealed its mark. Teach’s hands dripped crimson, Thatch’s lifeless body sprawled beneath him, and the sky roared, thunder splitting the horizon. Yet even in the wake of murder, Teach’s voice quivered with disbelief. “Where is it? The Dark-Dark Fruit... vanished? Impossible... I killed him for nothing?” Far beyond those seas, in the war-torn Shinobi World, another shadow stirred. Black Zetsu stood frozen, his gaze locked upon the ominous dark energy now coiling around Madara Uchiha. His words trembled with desperation. “Where… is my mother?!” Madara, touched by confusion yet cloaked in power, could only murmur: “She was… consumed. Devoured by this darkness.” Zetsu’s silence screamed louder than any battle cry. And in yet another realm, in the sanctified heart of the Seireitei, a quiet storm brewed. Aizen’s eyes, sharp with curiosity, lingered on the man before him. “Sensei, what’s the name of your Zanpakuto?” The answer came like a whisper from the abyss, calm yet absolute. “Kaguya-hime.” Three worlds, three shadows of destiny, all bound by the same unfathomable darkness. ——————— PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/AlexandrusTL 100+ advance chapter! ——————— SAUCE: https://wap.faloo.com/new_942969.html ——————— NOTE: The other two worlds won’t appear for at least 400 chapters. This story is structured more like a One Piece fanfic that eventually moves on to Naruto and Bleach once the protagonist has fully reached the peak of each world. If you're looking for a crossover where the MC jumps from one world to another, this might not be for you.
