Naruto: The White Spider

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.)

A Promise From Me To You

Talent and change, those two define humanity. But if you lack neither innate talent nor do you possess the ability to change, what are you? As a freshman at Laxus Flare Academy, Elliot Elanderin is surrounded by geniuses and talents you couldn’t find anywhere else. Compared to them, or anyone really, Elliot is pathetically ordinary, someone without a defining skill, role, or value. One day, after battling with his inner thoughts once more, he hears a sound that felt outside of this world. That sound leads him to a girl. A girl who embodies everything he wasn’t. Elliot begins to learn about not her talent, not her looks, but her. And along the way, she learns about him as well. As that friendship flourishes, he begins to learn more about the friends he was already surrounded by. New relations develop, both platonic and romantic. New struggles are revealed, both internal and external. With these new conflicts, Elliot’s life grows increasingly chaotic. After each one, more questions arise.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
