Ryo

In a world ravaged by titans, where humanity clings to survival behind towering walls, the blood of warriors flows silently through time—forgotten by most, feared by few. Among the scattered remnants of ancient legacies, a boy rises from the ashes of loss and vengeance. His name is Ryo Ackerman—a descendant of a cursed clan, trained in the art of killing, born beneath a sky that never promised him peace. But when the walls no longer hold, and the truth buried deep beneath flesh and bone begins to awaken… Ryo will learn that monsters do not only exist outside. Sometimes, the greatest monster… is the one within. And from the belly of death, he will be reborn—not as human, not as titan… …but as something entirely new. The war for freedom has never been so personal.

Blazing Requiem - Synopsis In a world where elemental powers determine fate, Ryo, a young Fire Elementalist, embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of his past and master his true potential. Orphaned at birth and raised by Elder Ryuken, he grows up alongside his best friends—Kaede, the Ice Elementalist, and Jin, the Lightning warrior. Together, they train to defend their homeland from the dark forces threatening to consume it. But when Ryo learns of his father’s connection to a long-forgotten tragedy, his world is turned upside down. His cousin, Kuroshi, once a brother to him, now walks a path of vengeance.

As darkness spreads and war looms, Ryo must harness the legendary Blazing Requiem—a power that could either save the world or reduce it to ashes. With epic battles, political intrigue, and the weight of destiny on their shoulders, Ryo and his allies must fight not just against their enemies, but against the doubts within themselves. Will Ryo become the hero his people need, or will he be consumed by the flames of his own past? A tale of fire, redemption, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship—Blazing Requiem ignites a new legend!

Ryo thought moderating online drama was the worst part of his job. After years of night shifts, caffeine, and defending the Internet’s most polarizing figure — Llewellyn, the world’s most famous hero, the System’s golden boy, and the only person alive with Transcendent-level Elemental Mastery — Ryo figured he’d seen it all. Conspiracy theories? Fan petitions? Cult-like followers? All in a night’s work. Until the System decides that arguing online at 2 AM now counts as combat experience. Ryo’s unwavering defense and obsessive threat tracking apparently make him the ideal support partner for Llewellyn himself… so the System sends him straight into battle. His role? Magical crisis management, unstable Elemental forces moderation, and surviving long enough to reset whatever magic is currently warping reality. Easy, right? Except that now he’s neck-deep in Dungeons and Distorted Realms — and just a little too fixated on Llewellyn’s mastery in battle. And everything else. It would be fine if the System’s matchmaking algorithms didn’t keep pushing them closer. ‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿︵‿‿︵‿ What you’ll find here: System | Magic | BL | Magical Apocalypse | Character-driven | Feral Partnership | Emotionally repressed chaos (slow burn-ish + mutual pining) | Banter | Combat | System mechanics | Elemental Magic | VR Games | The apocalypse is already happening, and the internet is not handling it well.

Nineteen-year-old runaway Lu Ryo, a full-time gamer and gambler, never expected to meet a god while wandering a beach in Kamakura. But when Malea, an in-game deity from Etherveil, the VRMMORPG he despises the most due to its hard game mechanics, offers him an escape from his bleak life. Ryo accepts after realizing that maybe this world wasn't meant for him. And the moment he knew it, he was transported into the world of Etherveil: a layered fantasy world of seven havens, each filled with dungeons and different types of dangerous monsters. A portal to the next haven only appears when the current one is cleared. After character customization, Ryo discovers that his class is an unknown class called "No-Class". Moments later, he and countless players of different nationalities are dropped from the sky into the first haven, Arkanos. As he regains his footing, a glowing NPC in a golden knight avatar descends slowly from the heavens, announcing a grim message: You are not here to play for fun. This is your new reality. It's life or death in this world. And to get out, they need to clear this game. As Ryo embarks on his journey in this new reality, he soon discovers something unexpected—his class, which he thought was useless, can copy other players' skills to an extent. In a world where every choice could mean life or death, this newfound power may be the key to surviving the new reality he now faces.

Ryo Fukui didn't have big plans for Uni this year. A few parties, game nights, studying, part-time work. Just like his first year. After all, simply getting accepted into the dorms finally shouldn't bring that large of a change. Or so he had thought. What started off as a strange brother pact on the first day quickly continued to spiral out of control. He found himself slowly getting caught up in the pace of his roommate, a pace that he didn't mind at all. Parties, movies, adventures. Yeah, this was probably how Uni should have been in the first place—he'd locked himself in too much first year. But why is it that despite Haruto dragging him out again, Nari is here and he isn't... "Ryo—are you not listening again? Want me to kick you again?" "What—no, of course not. I was just wondering where your boyfriend went." "Tsk... why is it I feel like the third wheel whenever you and him hang out..." A story which follows Ryo as he slowly realizes that sometimes you wind up liking someone you know you shouldn't.

Title: Death Drive World Overview: Netheria A lawless, war-torn nation divided into 15 hyper-dangerous sectors, each ruled by different martial clans, mad kings, warlords, or ancient beasts. Netheria is where survival is a luxury and strength is law. The land is soaked in blood, corrupted by ancient powers, and ruled by the legend of Thanatos—the god of death and the father of an unmatchable martial art. The Martial Art: Thanatos Said to be the art that even gods fear. It focuses on godlike reflexes, spiritual strikes, and death-touch techniques. Masters of Thanatos are rare, with fewer than 20 known true practitioners in existence. Its most feared technique is: Aim Assist: A forbidden technique that allows the user to land every blow perfectly for 30 seconds. Once active, dodging is futile. The only known counter is another Aim Assisted strike. Main characters: Ryo Kinezora Age: 17 Fighting Style: Kineta, a high-speed variation of Thanatos that multiplies the user’s strength and speed with every movement. Every punch makes the next stronger. Every dodge boosts momentum. But it burns calories and stamina like a furnace.

Without understanding the danger, he read and unlocked the first gate of Thanatos within him. Ten years later, he’s become a whirlwind of fury—fast, explosive, and untouchable, with a growing reputation as the "Ghost of Sector 13." Personality: Calm and intense. Rarely speaks, but when he does, it’s impactful. Believes in action over words.

Born in a swamp, parents were eaten by swamp monsters and saved by a pack of giant immortal wolves. He picked up some survival strategies from the giant wolves that saved him from the swamp monsters. accidentally finds and reads a Thanatos scroll gaining insane powers but his were more powerful than any other, his scroll gave him the ability to Faze and a longer aim assist of 1 minute.

Ryo never asked to be a cultivator. In a world where strength and might only matters. A boy, not timid but not violent. Wishes to just read, learn, and seek more knowledge. Yet the world seems to push him in conflicting directions, a weight always on his shoulders, with no choice on the matter. Simply because of his status his ancestors are mocked, maybe because it's in his luck that his parents were purged. ** 10,000 years have passed since the golden age of cultivation, once spread wide and vastly in the world. Cultivators are now more worried about a balance and banners, than to strive for immortality. Deep in slumber, an ancient being awakens, 10,000 years later. Confused, maybe curious at first. The being decides it wants to create a new golden age of cultivation, by force if it has to, and it will enjoy every moment of it. The being unfortunately shares Ryo's body, putting a blade to Ryo's neck ontop of a even greater weight on his shoulders. Ryo will be shaped by his experiences, for greater or far, far worse. --- Thanks for reading! No harem. Action packed. My novel follows a steady pace, not slow or too fast. MC is an antihero, he is not righteous. I will also be posting this on Royal road.
