Mahabharat: Shiva’s Last Variable

Himanshu was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old—an orphan scraping through life—until a heated argument about Karna and Arjuna became the last conversation he would ever have. Struck down by a god’s wrath for daring to question divine actions, his life ends abruptly… but not completely. Before his soul can fade into oblivion, he is summoned by Lord Shiva. Declaring that Himanshu’s death was unjust and premature, Shiva offers him a second chance—one bound not by mercy, but by purpose. A sacred duty awaits him in a world where Dharma is on the verge of collapse. Reborn in the era of the Mahabharata, Himanshu quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The timeline exists. The kingdoms stand. The great war approaches. But the one who anchors destiny itself… Lord Krishna is missing. Without Krishna, the balance between Dharma and Adharma begins to shatter. Heroes waver. Villains rise unchecked. Fate itself grows unstable. Armed with three extraordinary boons—a mysterious system that rewards his actions, unnatural luck, and unmatched talent in all arts and combat—Himanshu steps into a story that was never meant to unfold this way. But in a world where destiny has lost its guide… Even the smallest change can birth unimaginable consequences. As he navigates alliances, alters events, and challenges the very will of the gods, Himanshu must confront a terrifying truth: Is he here to save this world… —or to decide if it deserves to be saved at all? ====================================== (Author note:) This story was a heavy A.U and all those characters belong's to the OG creator of the epic. Except the Mc and Oc. And I would never disrespect them. I hope you guys give me your opinion and idea's. WARNING: If you don't feel like you dislike A.U on Mahabharat then there is a chance you might not like the story. And the story won't just follow the book or any serials. It's A.U so might feel a mix kind of feeling. Bye guys I hope you enjoy the story.

Oops, I’m Kimimaro? Guess I’ll Be the Final Villain!

[100% ORIGINAL - HIGH-QUALITY] "Kimimaro Was Wasted, So I’ll Fix That!" In canon, Kimimaro was a joke. One of Naruto’s forgettable side antagonists, dead before the plot even mattered. Locked in a cage by his clan, dragged out only to die for Orochimaru, and discarded by the world. A sickly prodigy wasted as nothing more than a pawn. Then I woke up as Kimimaro. The tragic flower meant to bloom for others and wither in silence? Not this time. I know how his story ends, and I refuse to repeat it. Bonds? Chains. Devotion? A joke. Weakness? Death. If my clan betrayed me, I’ll betray the world. If they put me in a cage, I’ll put the world in a cage of bones. I’m done being a pawn. I’m done being a tool. And I’ll never be forgotten. If you want to be cherished, you need strength first. So I’ll climb the staircase one step at a time… until the whole world kneels to me. Warnings: * MC is generally amoral, power-hungry, and sometimes outright villainous. * Yes, there’s a harem involving both canon and OCs, kept logical and believable. * NO system, no stats, no cheat menus - just Naruto-world plotting and power growth. * This isn’t canon. Expect many fitting OCs, fan additions, etc. Ripple effect plot changes also pile up hard. * Timeline purists beware: the original story itself had inconsistencies. Don’t expect “perfect” chronology. * Expect darker politics, deeper worldbuilding, and deliberate writing quality. [REMEMBER: This is 100% not a translation. Not low-tier and garbage 'writing', and definitely not robotic or AI-like in appearance.] Other titles I had in mind: "Wait, I’m Kimimaro? Yeah, This World’s Screwed" "From Orochimaru’s Tool to Everyone’s Tyrant!" I'm also the author of - - - - - - - > I’m the Last Senju, and the Hokage Wants Me Dead! & Wait, I’m Fugaku? I Think The World’s Mine Now!

The route to become the Emperor is a given? Nah, I still don't want it..." "Oh? I'm courting death you say? Unfortunately for you, death is already my woman..." ======= Almost 200,000 words (Around 170 Chapters) available for free! What to expect (Updated June 2026) : -Male protagonist who is trying to find who he is in the beginning and increasingly becomes level-headed and ruthless to enemies. Divine Emperor of Death is his calamity title the world gave him and not his personality, so don’t expect MC to be utterly black-hearted here. -Growth style from young to old, a epic adventure that takes itself seriously as the chapter and volumes advances -Harem. Slow-burn romance for the first two hundred chapters and it increases in pace once MC takes on second wife. Harem is treated extremely important here with their own personalities and flaws. No trophy wives. MC doesn’t abandon harem members to go off on a solo adventure. -Character-driven story with long-term growth. MC makes a few mistakes in the beginning and works to rectify. -Logical cultivation system with nearly no mistakes in terms of power leveling battles. -Unique blend of many types of architecture and eastern fantasy, but mostly latter since this is a cultivation novel. -Quick battles, no-nonsense approach to most enemies, and epic battles, tribulations and actions with lasting consequences. -Magical beast, calamities, strange lifeforms and locations. -The main character is not overpowered at the beginning, he'll have to climb his way up. And his treasure is simply dangerous to use, which makes it extremely challenging for him to survive. -Growth arc, adventure arcs, revenge arcs, romance arcs, epic tribulation arcs, family arcs and many more. -Regular updates (2 chapters/day) + bonus chapters and mass releases when possible ======= Some words from author: English isn't my main language, so please bear with it if you found some mistakes. The first few hundred chapters do have grammar mistakes since I was a beginner at that time. Please bear with me until the grammar and the content gets fleshed out. This is an epic (long form story) instead of a quick wish-fulfillment novel as we follow the story of Davis from the start, so it's bound to be slow but steady. There are epic moments at certain points which my readers have praised repeatedly. Also, the [best harem novel] in the entire Webnovel according to my readers in Discord. ======= Want to see more official art of the story and discuss the story with others? Join the Discord!

Despite being pursued as Villain, All the Heroines are on me (dropped)

Unexpectedly, Su Mingyuan, who had saved enough money, unfortunately, encountered a turbulent flow in time and space when he crossed back to Earth, and the time went back to his first day as a villain. Everything has to start again. “It’s merely a matter of starting over; the required villain value is less than half what it was the last time, and my acting abilities have improved significantly since the last time. I’m able to deliver stronger performances and am able to acquire a greater number of villain values more quickly…” Su Mingyuan is optimistic and confident. “Let see, I will do my best to taunt the male and female protagonists to hate me and then be punched in the face by them!” “See if I don’t do my best to ridicule, make the male and female protagonists hate me, and then hit me crazily in the face and step on me.” “When it comes to acting as a villain, I’m a professional!” To begin, the first step is to attempt to harass the male protagonist’s sister, so that the two create an intense dislike for him. "Hey, what’s wrong with you heroine? Not only do you not resist, why do you seem to… enjoy it? Can you be serious!? I’m a villain! Wait… wait! Why, apart from you, the way other female protagonists look at me seems to be wrong? They came up one by one as if they were going to… eat me?" _____________________________________________________ **All credits goes to the original author and translator**

I’m the Last Senju, and the Hokage Wants Me Dead!

[100% ORIGINAL - HIGH-QUALITY] "I, the Last Senju, Will Tear Down the Leaf From Within!", My first B-rank mission was supposed to be routine. Instead, ROOT tried to fry my brain so the enemy could “finish me off.” Why? Because I’m the last heir of the Senju revivalist faction, the same one Hiruzen and Danzō erased in the last war. Now I’m trapped on a Genin team with a Hatake who lives for battle, a Hyūga who won’t stop watching me, and a sensei tied to the Hokage’s leash. Their job is to see me buried. Mine is to survive and prepare. War is coming. I’ll use it to rebuild from the ground up: Senju bloodline unlocked, elements fused and mastered, the Gates forced open, Sage arts claimed, and no ceiling left above me. I’ll charm allies, bury enemies, 'repopulate' a clan, and plan my revenge. Konoha thinks I’m some prey, but they’re dead wrong. WARNINGS: * Amoral, power-hungry MC. Transmigrated. Harem with real plot impact, * Tsunade plus two OCs from Konoha’s great clans, others possible. * NO system, no stat screens, just raw Naruto-world powers and growth. * Expect a darker, politically heavy, butterfly-effect rewrite of the timeline. * Don’t expect canon accuracy with ages or chronology, or no fan inclusions. * High-quality English, heavy worldbuilding, logical and detailed plotting. [REMEMBER: This is 100% not a translation. Not low-tier and garbage 'writing', and definitely not robotic or AI-like in appearance.] Other titles I had in mind: "They Tried to Assassinate Me, But I Ended Up in Tsunade’s Tent Instead...", "Hiruzen, Retire Gracefully - Orochimaru Got My Vote for The Hokage!" I'm also the author of - - - - - > Oops, I’m Kimimaro? Guess I’ll Be the Final Villain! & Wait, I’m Fugaku? I Think The World’s Mine Now!
