Table Fan Winding Turns

Edmund Blackwood is expelled from his family after having a relationship with the king's daughter, who was already betrothed to the navy commander. To avoid his execution, he is exiled to the unknown with a sailing ship and 20 sailors. However, after a storm, he finds himself in an uncharted archipelago. Follow Edmund on his grand explorations and the rise of a new empire.

As a king standing at the top of the pyramid, he has long been accustomed to feeling superior. He is aloof and abstinent from women. Under various pressures from his family, he chose her. However, she reacted so slowly that it took her a long time to realize his feelings. Yet, on the day of the engagement, he appeared, holding another woman's hand. She froze in shock, unable to speak a word. "You know what? This is what you owe me!" he said nastily. Later, fate dealt her a cruel blow: the company collapsed, her father fell critically ill, and she was faced with a mountain of high-interest loans. Desperate, he pushed her to the brink and said, "I can help you out of this mess, but you have to be my mistress." Their relationship thus became a dance of love and hate. When he discovered she had a six-year-old son, he sneered, "What a shameless woman!" She was pursued by others, and he was very angry, "Stop flirting with other men!" Later, as her memories returned, her love and admiration for him turned into anger and hatred. He also deeply regretted and blamed himself after learning the truth, wanting to make up for it. "Let's get married." He said. "How dare you?" She replied with a sneer. She thought her revenge plan was flawless, but he was in fact very smart and had already spotted the flaws. He willingly stepped into her trap, betting that she still loved him...

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.  Warning :  1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you) 2. No harem (probably no romance either) 3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though) 4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin. 5. MC is a careful person, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice. 6. I haven't read (nor will be reading) Baruto. So Baruto plotline won't be considered much in here. What to expect : 1. Smart and consistent MC  2. Lots of training 3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage 4. A lot of original arcs.  5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it). Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or its characters (except the original characters I create). The image used in the cover isn't mine and belongs to R. J PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward.

"If a "god" hurt the person you love... will you sharpen your knife? if a "god" sent you to "hell" ? will you claw your way up just to knock the "Heaven's Gate". Will you burn the "Heaven" for Love? If the only person you can call in desperation is your name and God who is in a deep slumber at the depths of your ordeals... Will you still stand up and fight? If death is imminent... Who's the person you will drag to hell with you to have a fine dining experience with Satan? How far are you willing to go for revenge? This will all be answered by me. Let me tell you a story of my descent to the false gods' dining table" This is heavily inspired by the recent events of a famous Filipino Pastor("anointed son of god, the last person who will sign your papers to go to heaven") who committed unspeakable crimes and atrocities, albeit inspired, there is no intention to make fun of abominable crimes, the victims, and the family that may be talked about in the story. All the names will be changed and any events that may have comparisons are all coincidences. (NO Artificial intelligence, machine learning, or any technological crutches was used to make this, all human)

But as his body grew frail, the gods of a faraway world saw his potential. In Elysium, a land ravaged by wars and monsters, they saw in him the last hope to restore stability before their followers-and they-faded into nothingness. Before his reincarnation could take place, the gods intervened, recognizing that Victor could accomplish a task he had once completed on Earth: to unite and restore a broken world. They granted him the skill 'Archive of Earth,' a powerful ability that gives him access to humanity's vast knowledge, from the simplest inventions to the most complex theories. But to unlock Earth's most vital secrets, he must earn the trust and prosperity of his people-every advancement comes at a price. Elysium is a dying realm.
