But when he sends Darth Maul to assassinate Qu- Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maul is eliminated.

In the aftermath of a daring escape from the merciless King Ozul, Arya Athena and her band of young warriors find themselves stranded on the wild, unforgiving Island of Darth. The island's lush forests and silent waters hide more than just danger — they conceal a shadowy past, one that holds the key to overthrowing a tyrant who thrives on deceit and bloodshed. Haunted by her mother's sacrifice and driven by a need to protect her sister Liza and their people, Arya navigates a treacherous path where survival is earned through steel and wit. But as they fight to stay one step ahead of Ozul's men, the island begins to unveil secrets that could shift the balance of power in Shinghaala forever. When betrayal lurks behind every tree, and loyalty is paid for in blood, Arya's courage is tested like never before. Her fate — and that of her kingdom — hinges on a perilous rescue, a family lost to war, and an uncle believed to be dead. With a blade named Wraith, a heart filled with defiance, and the haunting memory of love sacrificed to war, Arya must choose: fight for survival or ignite a revolution. In a world where darkness reigns and legends are forged, the Island of Darth may just become the battleground for freedom, redemption, and the rise of the lion-hearted.

Amid the cataclysmic downfall of the Linsey Kingdom, the first princess, Gwen, met her tragic end in the seething inferno. Not a single vestige of her bones remained. Throughout her life, she had been of surpassing intelligence, yet she committed a grievous error in her judgment of a person. That was the destitute nobleman, Lancaster von Garcia, from whom she had severed her engagement. None could have foreseen that in the years to come, this very man would ascend to the throne as the emperor who reigned over the continent and was dreaded as a tyrant. Perchance it was a capricious twist of fate that bestowed upon Gwen the opportunity to be reborn and transported back to her youthful days. She was determined to seek out Lancaster and change the course of destiny.

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.

Alex, a brave and heroic 40-year-old serial killer who dies in a big fight, trying to save the human world from a group of invaders."I will not allow Invaders to destroy the human world in my presence.I will not allow this as long as I'm alive! " Alex exclaimed. This was his home, and there was no way that he was going to allow for it to be destroyed. But during the fight, Alex was outnumbered by the invaders, during one of his assassination attacks. Caught off-guard, in a blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed and stabbed three times directly in the chest by the invaders' leader who relied on a sneak attack to eliminate the enemy.Ending up with grievous injuries, severe bleeding and breathing difficulty due to his lungs being pierced, Alex succumbed. However, fate seemed to have other plans for him. He was transmigrated in another world in a body of a 20 year old young man."Wait , How am I alive? Where is this place? Is this the afterlife?" Alex remembered clearly the pain that he had undergone before he died. It was just that, he didn't understand how he was alive.He looked around, only to realize that he was inside a small room that was old and only possessed a few crucial items such as the bed that he was lying on, and a chair and a table not far away from where he was. He managed to get out of bed with a lot of difficulty and headed towards the only window of the room.Peeping out the window, he saw a group of people moving around. From time to time, he could see that some other people were flying in the air without any external assistance. This was something that amazed him."This must be a fantasy world, where the strong prey on the weak, the monsters being enemies of humans." Alex muttered to himself as he looked out the window with awe and amazement in his eyes. In his world, although they were strong, they mainly depended on technology to combat the invading aliens. But here, this was definitely a world that focused on arcane powers. All of a sudden, Alex was attacked by an immense headache. In the next moment, a flood of memories poured into his mind.After about five minutes, everything receded. He finally realized who the body that he had taken over was. The young man whose body he had taken was called Alex, just like himself.He was an orphan who had been having a difficult time surviving. The house that he was in was the only thing that his parents had left for him.Alex wanted to understand more about himself when suddenly, a holographic screen popped up in front of him with a notification sound.

Sent to the world as a simple skeleton, the God that accidentally killed him granted him a boon that in seven centuries saw him rise to power over a vast yet surprisingly benevolent necropolis. Decades later Balthus is schemed against and thrown down by the generals who guided him to power. Yet as death drew his soul away, he found himself before the God again who apparently didn't register his life as 'Balthus' with the Goddess of reincarnation. Her bi millennial inspection is coming up and she needs his name in her book, like last century. Whats a God to do? Give the lad a second chance of course, clerical error isn't his fault!
