Naruto: Twin Fates of Konoha

After transmigrating into the world of Naruto, Shimizu Uzuki finds himself at a severe disadvantage—he does not possess any special eyes. So how is he supposed to fight against those Ōtsutsuki beings who travel back and forth between the Earth and the Moon? …… Notes: PS1. This is a pure Naruto transmigration story. There is no system, and no other crossover elements—only an authentic Naruto world. PS2. The writing style leans toward realism. The prose is solid, and this is not an overpowered, brainless wish-fulfillment story. PS3. The synopsis is limited. Please proceed to the main story, and be sure to read the “Read Before Starting” section first.

Code Zulu Alpha: Nerd in the Apocalypse!

"Better to have and not need than to need and not have." Sky Ishiyama is a nerd with Photographic Memory who after the bumps and turns in his life, turned to be a Doomsday Prepper. The story takes place in our world where our MC was diving through the Dark Web just for fun and discovered something that could only be found in books, movies, novels, manga, anime, or games. Zombies, Walkers, Freaks, Infected, Biters, or whatever you may call them. They're fucking real. Ever wondered what you could do in a zombie apocalypse where you actually know what you're doing? Actually surviving properly while preventing stupid deaths? Doing what is right and necessary? Or better yet, actually doing what you shout in the monitor when you're watching a film? Our MC is coupled with the knowledge of not just fighting z's but actually surviving by securing his home, finding allies, scavenging for supplies, building a community and so much more. If you could, kindly like the tags I've put up and it would be huge, huge help for me, thanks in advance! Also, a comment, a review, or even a vote of a single power stone would help me out a lot! Thanks again! Disclaimer: All of the names and places mentioned in this novel are fictional and any relation to people IRL is purely coincidental.

It's created on 16/07/20 so it's fairly new and nothing much is in there lol Anyway, everyone is free to drop by and spend a few minutes to pass the time.) My Discord: Sky2316#9623

Celestic Warriors: Book 1 - The Origins

Two children. One bond. A destiny that refuses to let them remain together. Blending the emotional depth of anime with the explosive action of tokusatsu, Celestic Warriors: The Origins begins on Earth—where a chance meeting between two children quietly changes the course of the universe. Tim is bright, kind, and fearless. Rei is distant, observant, and shaped by isolation. Though they are opposites, an unexplainable connection draws them together—until obsidian-clad soldiers descend from the stars and tear them apart. Taken from Earth by a cosmic force bound to prophecy, Tim is rescued and brought to Soluna—a war-scarred world cursed to balance light and shadow. Rei is not so fortunate. As fate intervenes, their memories of each other fade… but the emptiness remains. Fifteen years later, Tim has been forged into the Solar Warrior, trained to defend Soluna against the rising threat of the Dark Void. Yet even as he stands as the planet’s last hope, he cannot escape the feeling that something vital is missing—something stolen long ago. With war looming and destiny tightening its grip, Tim must face a truth greater than battle itself: some bonds cannot be erased—and balance always demands its other half.

Dead X Alive

The world’s population has been reduced to less than 500,000, but the only remaining traces of the apocalypse are the Elements–“Elements of Life,” many call them. Jelani is 18, but he’s already left one past behind and now lives as a soldier, fighting for the city of Hoodsale. Beneath the shadow of Mt. Hood, Oregon, he exists, going about his day-to-day life with the least enthusiasm possible. However, when he’s called on a mission to hunt down the criminals of this world–“rebels”–his company is caught off guard and torn to pieces. But Jelani survives, obtains the power of an element, and, with the world on the brink of a second disaster, he resolves to gain strength and make his existence known.
