Transmigration : Rewriting the Villain's Fate

Elena Park was a novel editor who was just about to approve her client’s final manuscript, a dark romance about betrayal, obsession, and the tragic death of a cruel woman. That woman was not the heroine. She was the villain. A woman who toyed with an amnesiac man. A woman who abused her power and vented her anger on someone who could not fight back. A woman who would eventually be kidnapped, tortured, and left to die alone. Elena knew the entire plot. She had memorized every torture scene. She knew no one would look for her when she disappeared, because she herself had edited the story. But before she could uncover the plot hole that felt strangely out of place, a car crashed into her. When she opened her eyes, Elena was no longer standing on a city sidewalk. She awoke in the De Luca family’s swimming pool, as Elena De Luca, the villain destined to die. And the man who would one day take revenge for everything she had done, Lorenzo Vitale, the mafia boss who lost his memory in an accident she caused, was now staring at her with empty eyes. Elena knew that one day the mafia’s memories would return. She knew the depth of his vengeance. She knew how her body would be found lifeless. Yet one question continued to haunt her, what was the plot hole she had never discovered? Would she follow the original storyline to uncover the truth, or rewrite her own fate, even if it meant becoming a different kind of monster? Because this time, the villain is the one holding the pen.

Mutant Survival Guide To The Commonwealth

This story is about a man trying to find his way in a foreign but familiar world. I plan this novel to be about his journey through the Commonwealth as he tries to make the world a better place. He would be classified as a decent person, but one who doesn't hesitate to protect his life and those he cares about. Now onto the story. Rio will find himself in the Commonwealth of Fallout 4 with a system that works like a combination of the previous titles' game mechanics. It has Skills, Traits, Perks, VATS, and everything else a survivor could need to survive the wasteland. Rio must try and find his way in a world that to him was nothing more than a videogame before he died. He will meet friends and foes alike during his journey. But the biggest issue he has to deal with isn't how to shoot a gun but how to fit into a world where he isn't a human and everyone sees him as a horrifying mutant. How will he manage to convince everyone he isn't like the big green brute or the decaying ferals? I guess you will have to read and find out. (Edit: Someone mentioned that the title was misleading so I will clarify that the main character is not a Super Mutant but he is seen as a mutant by the people. ) ------------------- Now, for the details on what you can expect from me. I will make the chapters around 1500-2000 words, and I anticipate releasing them Monday-Friday. Except for the occasional holiday, in which I may release two chapters. It may take a while before I start uploading to this story, as I want to create a few chapters first. My other story that hasn't been completed will likely go on Hiatus as I have lost some of the motivation to write that story. If you notice any errors or mistakes in any of my content, then let me know, and I will usually fix it, and if I don't, then I will at least let you know why. I read almost all the comments, so let me know what you think. Lastly, I use Grammarly, but both it and I can make grammar mistakes, so let me know if you find any. Until next time, Ciao.

Naruto: Eating A Devil Fruit In The World Of Shinobi

You’d think waking up in the Naruto Universe would be a dream come true. For most people? Maybe. But for me? No kekkei genkai. No Senju vitality. No Uzumaki stamina. No Uchiha eyes. Just… me. Weak. Ordinary. A civilian in a world built on bloodlines and battles. I was ready to die in the background. Just another nobody swept up in the chaos of shinobi wars and cursed fates. Until it happened. [System Binding Complete.] [Welcome, User.] [Starter Gift: Goro Goro no Mi — Rumble-Rumble Fruit.] [You are now the inheritor of thunder.] And just like that, everything changed. I could feel it — the voltage crackling in my veins, the storm whispering in my ear. No more chakra limitations. No more clan inferiority. I didn’t need Sharingan to see death coming. I’d outrun it at the speed of lightning. The villages took notice. The Akatsuki tried to control me. Even the tailed beasts learned to fear thunder. Because I wasn’t just another shinobi anymore. I was something else. A storm given form. They called me a god. Once I stood at the peak of the Shinobi world, I turned my gaze outward — to other realms, other timelines, and other universes. I walked among Shinigami. Faced pirates who challenged the sea. Clashed with Saiyans beneath shattered skies. But a question lingered. Who's this mysterious being everyone keeps talking about? Maybe I’m more than just a transmigrator. Maybe I was never meant to be human in the first place. “Lightning doesn't bow. It strikes.” From the Hidden Leaf… To the edge of the multiverse… I will carve my name into legend. Because thunder doesn’t ask permission. _______ There would be consistent updates, 2 chapters a day. Mc doesn't get spoonfed by the system. ********************************** Join our discord server Link: https://discord.gg/Mr8Q62CH Support us on patreon (+Gain access to chapters in advance) Link: patreon.com/Zphyr_ **********************************

I Died 2,000 Years Ago: The Underworld Fears Me

Ren Wu died once. Two thousand years ago, he was the Imperial Chancellor who governed Hell itself—an Auditor who enforced cosmic law, taxed gods, and sentenced demons with a brushstroke. Then Heaven and Hell cooperated. He was assassinated before he could finish signing a decree meant to fix the cycle of reincarnation. Now, he has awakened in the body of a dying factory owner at the bottom of the modern Underworld. His wealth is his health. His business is survival. His enemies are corporations, gangs, ancient clans—and the government of Hell. While others cultivate to become immortal heroes, Ren Wu cultivates assets. He monopolizes supply chains. He weaponizes contracts. He turns gangs into employees. He turns ancient cultivation manuals into corrected instruction manuals. To Ren Wu, modern cultivators are not warriors. They are illiterate workers using corrupted translations of Hell’s employee handbooks. As Ren rebuilds his corporate empire, fragments of his sealed memories return… Why did his archaeologist parents send him an ancient coffin before vanishing? Why does the Administration desperately want him erased? Why does every ancient family’s sacred art trace back to Hell? To uncover the truth, Ren Wu must do what he does best: Acquire political shields. Build unions. Exploit loopholes. Rewrite laws. Because in this world… You don’t punch judges. You don’t sue gangsters. And you never fight the system. You become the system.

MY HIDDEN TALENT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE HEAVENS

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

Ranarok: The Rise Of Mortals

This is a doomsday rampage with no way back. This is a wasteland epic that tears apart the hypocritical mask of the old world. When a global “man-made virus” drives humanity to the brink, and the so-called “life-saving vaccine” becomes the ultimate shackle used by the Deep State to control ordinary people and harvest their genes, this world no longer has gods—only “living corpses” hiding behind blast doors, feeding on the bones and marrow of the powerless. Zheng Nan (Steven), an ordinary man living in seclusion in Chiang Mai, Thailand, awakens in humanity’s darkest hour. He has no superpowers—only unparalleled botanical mastery, and a blood-stained Tang sword. He uses brutally mutated plants as antidotes to break the lethal curse of nanites and spike proteins. He seizes a deep-sea drilling platform and forges a heavily armed “Elysium Empire.” He gathers the deadliest assassins of the wasteland, genius architects, and heiress daughters of powerful dynasties to launch the most ruthless physical purge and karmic judgment against the ultimate elders—those hiding beneath the Himalayas, attempting to achieve immortality through genetic replacement. Conspiracy and Truth: Uncover the nauseating logic behind “pink parties” on the dark web that harvest high-purity stem cells. Violence and Intelligence: Breach frozen gates and cleanse the land with heavy artillery, crushing ten-thousand-ton blast doors with steel and flesh; fine-tune parameters and wage psychological warfare so precise that the powerful destroy themselves under the spotlight. The Fury of Mortals: We do not believe in gods, nor do we create them. We become the outlaws who hold an umbrella over ordinary people in this man-eating wasteland. “If the old gods have welded the gates shut, then we will tear the roof off the sky!”
