Deadly Instincts

Growing up on the streets, Rhys' only instinct was survival—by any means necessary. But when the man who took him in disappears, his search leads him to Haloway, a metropolis plagued by a mysterious madness that turns humans into monsters known as Marauders. After a brutal attack, Rhys is dragged into The Abyss, a brutal hell where he must navigate its deadly trials, where only those who escape are marked as Revenants—beings forged in darkness and power. "The Abyss deprives you of everything, even death, no matter how much you yearn for it."

In his previous life, Lucian Falken was a modern-day sword prodigy, hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent. With perfect technique, unmatched instincts, and relentless discipline, he dominated international tournaments, standing at the peak of the martial arts world. However, after securing his greatest victory, tragedy struck—on his way home, he was ambushed by an unknown group and killed, his life ending before he could uncover the reason behind his assassination. When he awakens, Lucian finds himself reincarnated in a medieval fantasy world as Haruto Valtor, the eldest son of a prestigious noble family. However, fate plays a cruel trick on him—he is born completely blind in a society where strength and magic determine one's worth. Stripped of his inheritance and ridiculed by his own family, Haruto is deemed useless before he even has a chance to prove himself. But he refuses to accept weakness. Though his eyes have failed him, his soul remembers the sword. Harnessing the instincts of his past life, he trains in secret, using sound, vibrations, and mana flow to develop a new way to "see" the world through battle. As noble rivals mock him, warriors dismiss him, and assassins lurk in the shadows, Haruto sharpens his blade, preparing for the day he will prove them all wrong. The world may see him as a blind noble, but soon, they will come to know him as the strongest swordsman to ever live.

Thrown into a brutal test for assassins on a hostile alien planet, Leo quickly discovers an extraordinary instinct for combat and evasion—abilities that feel second nature, yet remain a mystery even to him. But as the blood-soaked trials unfold, whispers of his lineage begin to surface. In a universe where gods are eternal and invincible, Leo carries the blood of the one being who defied that rule: the Timeless Assassin, a legend feared by mortals and deities alike. Now, hunted for what he represents and burdened by a legacy he can’t yet comprehend, Leo must forge his path through a deadly labyrinth of enemies, alliances, and cosmic conspiracies—all while piecing together the fragments of his forgotten past. For in the shadows of his fractured identity lies a truth that could shake the heavens themselves. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

A Few Warnings for the Reader: This short novel is written for people who appreciate Japanese anime – a worldwide community numbering in the hundreds of millions. It's important to understand from the start that anime is not just "children's cartoons," as animation is often perceived in places like Europe and the USA. Anime represents a distinct form of animation and a significant cultural force, almost like "super-cinema." It can be incredibly dynamic and explore serious themes. Now, let's be honest, a large portion of anime is… not great. Maybe around 90% could be considered simply "okay" or even, let's say, "trashy." It can be blatant, silly, and not particularly engaging. Many viewers watch one of these less impressive shows and then assume all anime is similar. But that's a mistake! Understand this: by doing that, you're missing out on potentially the most captivating entertainment of your life. That's not an exaggeration – it's a genuine perspective. But the remaining 10%? That's where the true "super-cinema" lies. Good anime is unmatched in its ability to tell emotionally resonant stories and deliver dynamic action. Anime creators are free to push boundaries. Their imaginations delve into the complexities of the human heart, challenging the common "European view" that restricts animation to children. This story(it's not a Fanfiction!) is a tribute to a classic anime called "Fate." Fate is not my personal absolute favorite – there are masterpieces which incredibly hard to surpass. But still, it's a powerful example of the story started as a simple eroge and converted to a deeply emotional cult film.

Tanaka Kazeo never asked for this. One moment, he was just another guy from Earth. The next, he wakes up in Konoha—as a four-year-old orphan. Weak. Powerless. Trapped in one of the deadliest worlds ever imagined. No system. No bloodline. No safety net. Just his knowledge, instincts, and an unknown gift buried deep within. Konoha isn’t the paradise the anime made it seem. Shadows lurk beneath its surface. The ghosts of war still whisper through the land. And in the distance, monsters like Orochimaru and the Akatsuki are already making their moves. Kazeo knows one thing—weakness means death. But he refuses to be another forgotten name in history. Through brutal training, forbidden jutsu, and deadly encounters, he will carve a path to the top. A path soaked in blood, sweat, and sheer willpower. The ninja world is merciless. But so is he. *** Just give the First chapter a chance. You won't regret it. *** What to expect: 1. Smart and consistent MC 2. Training and new unique jutsu 3.

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as soon as he closed the rift. When he came to his senses, he was lying in a garbage dump. Starving, he was drawn like a zombie is to blood to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future. In this era, disaster alerts notify people of rift openings in advance, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons were trending, and idle hunters livestream unboxings of A-rank longswords. Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future was surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things had turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at the hangover soup restaurant, rather than being a hunter? “That’s strange.” “…” “Have we met somewhere before?” Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious, gas-masked individual… DISCLAIMER: The story isn't mine
