Synonym Scenario

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.

I read a lot of cultivation and murim stories I read over 300 murim manhwa alone but novel I read none because I am so used to reading manhwa and manhua that's is hard from to read anything else so I was bored some time ago and I started writing this as a scenario if I got reborn in murim world I realized early on that I didn't like cultivation because of many things but I still enjoyed it it's just that if I where a mc in murim I would cultivation because if I where a normal cultivator I would have to cultivation and kill monsters and other cultivator all my life and be under the control of some sect of faction and if I where I demonic cultivator It's the same but I need to kill and do evil so I wrote dao as person with no qi no potential no bloodline no stolen dao bones no heavenly roots and so on and on so I made it so that he aslo thinks as me and is happy about it

EXCERPT: “How did you get past the guards and track me to my private residence?” Lucien asked Meret. “A magician never reveals her secrets.” “You’re not a magician. You’re a thief.” “That’s a bit rude.” She raised a brow. “I’m sure there are friendlier synonyms. Like…‘unauthorized relocation specialist’?” “Thief.” he repeated, deadpan. ****************** She stole from him but He doesn’t want the art back… he wants her. ~~ Meret Quinn is a professional thief, known for vanishing without a trace and never leaving behind more than a calling card that nobody has ever managed to trace. She steals high-value artifacts for the thrill, not the money. Trust is a weakness to her and love is a liability she left behind a long time ago. But her latest job puts her on the radar of Lucien Moretti, a mafia billionaire with a taste for control and a reputation for never letting anyone get away with crossing him. He was supposed to make her disappear. Instead, he took something she actually cared about — her dog, Cray Cray. A secret no one was ever supposed to know. Now, if she wants him back, she has to play his game. One house. One lie. One string of impossible missions designed to flush out his enemies. And one condition she never expected: she has to pose as his fiancée until the job is done. She hates every second. He enjoys every minute. But pretending to be wanted by a man like him starts to blur lines — especially when he whispers things in her ear… and means them. Neither of them is used to losing. But obsession doesn’t play fair. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession, control, lust, and manipulation, with morally complex characters navigating dangerous desires. While this is a love story, reader discretion is advised.

Beom-seok was a virgin gamer with a simple dream: to get his first kiss. After years of loneliness, he finally lands a girlfriend, a shy, nerdy otaku girl. The day they planned to share their first kiss was also the day he completed their favorite RPG. But fate had other plans for him. And smashes into him. Literally. And just like that, he died. Just inches away from her lips. The next time he opens his eyes, he’s no longer on Earth—but inside the world of The Magic Academy's Genius Scholars, as his avatar: Arthur Arcain, a character so fragile and pitiful he was only added to the game for fan service. Ridiculed by players. Unable to store unrefined mana or force. And destined to die no matter what route you played. But Beom-seok knew the truth: Arthur wasn’t just some extra. He was the sole male heir of a powerful, all-female demonic dragon clan, and he possessed the greatest magical potential in the game—if only his body could handle unrefined mana and force. Luckily for Beom-seok, a mysterious system activates, changing everything. A system that links his survival to the game's female leads. A system that rewards him for completing their scenarios… and growing their affection bonds. The more they fall for him, the more refined mana, force and stats he gains, making his power and talent close to none. But there’s a catch. If he fails a scenario? The world ends. And he dies. ----- Additional Tags: Weak to Strong | Ecchi | Comedy | Slice of Life | Yandere | Rare Bloodline | Morally Gray Hero Note: Contains 18+ chapters(will be highlighted as such), but they are not central to the main plot.

My name is Yagami Tsukihara. In my previous world, I always wished magic was real… Unfortunately, that world was far too boring. But everything changed… When someone stabbed me from behind and killed me. When I opened my eyes, I had been reincarnated into a world filled with magic and mystery. A world shrouded in darkness... and perfect for my grand plan. Now, I am known as Kazuki Altherion. Or perhaps more fittingly: the White Reaper. I have no intention of becoming a hero. Nor am I an enemy of the kingdom. I am merely a shadow, moving behind the scenes, crafting scenarios, playing roles, and shaping the world from behind the veil of chaos. And you know what? All of this… Is simply a part of the “grand plan” I call my theatrical delusion.

Warning! Addiction ahead. [Change in synopsis is in points below] ****** There are many things that I hate to the point of loathing. But what I hate most about this scenario is a hero who screws up. I mean sure, he can do whatever he wants. But all I'm asking is not to be naïve. This is a story about how I got transmigrated into the world of a novel, about how I tolerated the naïve MC whose actions were no better than a four years old even though he had regressed. And how I, the side character, or a small villain one could say, had to clean up the messes made by the hero and his party. ******** The synopsis might not be that compelling but I'm still learning folks. I hope you give this novel a read until the free chapters before you decide whether to drop it or keep reading it. Looking forward to working with all of you! Stay tuned! A few points: 1: The cover is A.I generated and it is completely mine. 2: The new update schedule is one chapter per day. But the option of bonus chapters is now available. 3: [100 power stones= 1 bonus chapter] [300 power stones= 2 bonus chapters] [5 golden tickets= 1 bonus chapter] 4: The free release ends at 50 chapters. 5: Please, Please, Please, Do not hesitate to point out my mistakes as they will help me improve my novel. Any suggestions that you have are also welcome. 6: Most importantly, do not forget to write a review. Whatever you think. Don't hesitate.

“In a future where imagination births reality, and gods bleed for love, two destinies collide across time and stars.” Vedika Narayan, a tech prodigy scarred by the past, and Shivangi Goenka, an ambitious writer, are poised to launch the first-ever VSSR (Virtual Simulation Scenario Reality) game—bringing Shivangi's novel The God Chosen and Four Princes to life. But on the eve of their triumph aboard the cruise port Sumeru port, a violent explosion tears through their quarters. Trapped, fading, and surrounded by chaos, Vedika faces her greatest fear once more—loss. I haven't had the power to change death for two decades. Not today... Not that day... I have to accept defeat. Goodbye to everyone... Far across the cosmos, a slumbering spark stirs. A fading spark of divine consciousness wanders, its only aim—to find her. Kaalvesh, once the almighty God of Gods, relinquished his power and immortality to follow the one soul he could never forget: Ojasvi, his beloved wife, lost to a shadowy cult. Though he can bend time, but he cannot undo the past. Stripped off Godhood, Kaalvesh begins his journey, crossing galaxies and realms, chasing fragments of vivid memories of past and echo of her soul. Even in your 107th incarnation, you came to me. This time, even if you no longer remembers me, I'll find you. Because without you, not even ruling the universe matters. This is an eternal love, sacrifice, and a soul's unbreakable promise... Wait for me, Ojasvi. Your Kaalvesh will be reborn for you. Guided by his divine consciousness, in the city of Shrinagar, under celestial skies and ancient prophecies, Kaalvesh is reborn—an immortal soul in a mortal shell. But this incarnation has one purpose: to find her again, no matter the cost. #reincarnation #eternallove #grief #acceptance #reality #illusion #cosmicdestiny #sacrifice

Jaquer had only two dreams. One, become an elite demon hunter; two, marry Princess Hader. But both of his dreams were crushed by a single name, Venor. The newfound commander of the demons. When he thought his life couldn't get worse, the entire scenario turned like a twisted knife when he was sent to slave under the demon commander. Sacrificed as a scapegoat for the kingdom, he and his hunter team, along with the princess, were exiled to the Demon Realm. Feeling betrayed and disappointed by their very own people, they made a brilliant plan to escape. But was it easy? No, there were several barricades to cross and, importantly, or strangely, Venor was always looking out for Jaquer, as if expecting any trouble from him. **** "Feed me, little thing." Venor glanced at the angry little man but still opened his mouth to be fed. Jaquer bit his lower lip as blood of rage boiled under his skin. But he had no choice. Did he? Therefore, he took the fork and projected towards Venor. Towards his mouth? No. Towards his eyes? Yes.

The boundaries between control and autonomy blur, and the simulated world begins to challenge the intentions of its creators. A layered, imaginative sci-fi story about identity, power, and the unintended consequences of digital creation—where even the code can become a weapon.

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.” After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

Stuck in the backwoods of Zhenxun state, Lin Yu has the difficult task of leading a life of danger and unpredictability, where in his place as scribe, he has the harrowing task of accurately recording events in exquisite detail flawlessly, or else fears dire penalties ranging through exile and outright death. Being devoid of any spiritual foundation, he feels powerless in all respects in this reality in which physical brawn and power rule all in all. Luckily for him, though, he was not totally lonely in his predicament; and through some means known best to him, he gains access to some cryptic device which has come to be called the Binding System. This fascinating system gives him the power to bind himself as junior or junior-junior, so as to divide the cultivator's progress in cultivating, skill, and inborn talent, and in it, he sees some faint hope in this otherwise bleak scenario.

#wifespoiling When Xiao Li, a third-year medical student, is forced into an arranged marriage to an older man, two scenarios take place. In one, she jumps from her room window the night before the wedding and ends up crippled and disfigured. In the other, she finds herself reborn at the moment when she sits on the windowsill, ready to jump. She changes her mind, takes a good night’s sleep, and follows through with the wedding the next day.  In the first scenario, the fateful jump sets off a series of unfortunate events. Xiao Li despises her doting husband and grows miserable. In the second, she gradually warms up to him even as her life takes on unexpected detours. But whether in the previous or current life, she is unable to shake off her evil cousin, Xiao Yan, who seems hell-bent on wrecking her happiness.

In his previous life, Seo Hae-jin was a tyrant feared across realms—a villain whose name was synonymous with extinction. But when death finally claimed him, he did not find oblivion. Instead, he awoke reborn in a decaying magical world—armed with a glitched Sovereign Devouring System, and a mark burned into his palm: the Symbol of Dominion. From the body of a forsaken human child, he began again. At his command, countless black larvae hatched—creatures no larger than an insect, yet destined to evolve into horrors that would drown entire civilizations. These bugs devour everything—flesh, mana, memory—and grow without limit. He feels no pity. No remorse. No hope for redemption. As empires crumble and heroes die screaming, a single truth spreads across the stars: The Sovereign of Devouring has returned. He is no man. No god. No monster. He is extinction itself.

A boy who has forgotten even his own name, hating humanity and its civilization that reeks of lies, is raised by the ruthless yet honest laws of the forest. For him, life is synonymous with survival; his philosophy is pragmatism, his weapon is raw instinct. This one-man kingdom is shaken by an ancient, moon-white tree he discovers in the heart of the forest. The spiritual fruits it offers promise a chance to "ascend," but the boy's nature is not to trust, but to test. This mistrust culminates in him witnessing the creation of a monstrous abomination (Yaoguai) when he experiments on an innocent animal with the pure, uncontrolled life energy (Qi). Forced to consume the fruit himself to defeat the beast, he is driven to the brink of madness, attaining a flawed yet overwhelming power through a Qi Deviation (Qi Zou Ru Mo). Unable to contain this new, wild power, his body pushes him to create his own hell. Without a master or a technique, guided only by pain and the will to survive, he begins a journey of superhuman Body Cultivation (Tixiū). His ultimate goal is not to accept the ancient tree as a gift, but to uproot it like a prize, to possess the very source of his power. The tree's mental assaults on him reveal fragmented memories of a manor in flames and a sorrowful lullaby, hinting that a personal tragedy lies at the root of his hatred for humanity. His journey takes him to the fringes of civilization, to the Thunderclap Peaks. Here, he chooses the Path of the Rock to tame his power and, in the process, makes his first contact with established Cultivator Sects who become aware of his existence. This encounter transforms him from a mere beast into a strategist who uses pawns for his own gain. "Zarziyan: The Price of Ascension" is not just a story of empowerment, but a saga of a lonely soul searching for his identity, confronting the ghosts of his past, and in the process, transforming from a monster to a king, and perhaps even to a god. It is the tale of a conqueror forging his own path with blood and steel in a world beyond good and evil, where absolute will and power are the only law.
