Live Like A Samurai

In the enigmatic continent of Valoria, samurai and superpowered warriors are locked in eternal conflicts. Akio, a boy with blue hair and golden eyes, is born under unknown circumstances and abandoned at the doorstep of a strange family. He grows up unaware of his origins, but there is one thing he knows for sure… he wants to become the greatest Shogun in this world! But Valoria is not just an ordinary continent. Its people have been trapped for hundreds of years, knowing nothing about the outside world. Valoria is no place for the weak. Kingdoms crumble, rulers hunger for power, and monsters hiding behind human masks wait for the perfect moment to strike. Behind the walls and borders, secrets lie dormant, and untold tales await their time. In this world, nothing is as it seems, and danger lurks where you least expect it. Amidst the chaos, heroes will be born… and villains will rise. At the heart of this war stands Ken, a boy whose past was burned to ashes, seeking revenge against his tyrant uncle, King Cirrus, the man who destroyed his life and took everything from him. Alliances will be forged. Thrones will shatter. Swords will be drawn. This is a tale of ambition, revenge, and betrayal, where no one is innocent, and no one is safe. Why Should You Read This Story?

For ten years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her.  The only questions that remains are, how will Raiten kill her? How will Raiten kill the five elders who enslaved him, killed his mother, stole his childhood? Will he choose forgiveness and carve for himself a new life, beyond the tower, beyond the clan? Or, will he sink in the depraved depths of bloody vengeance?  Perhaps a bit of both.  This story is a mix of vengeance, fast-paced action, lighter slice-of-life moments, and of course, magic.

In a remote mountain village, far from battlefields and castles, young Kaito lives a life of dusty routine: Each day, he hammers nails, plows, and axes for farmers in his father’s forge. Samurai? To him, they’re just ghostly tales spun by traveling merchants – until a stranger in torn silks arrives, wielding a blade of gleaming steel. Mesmerized by the warrior’s alien grace, Kaito watches him fight with a precision unlike the brawls of village life. But when the stranger vanishes under mysterious circumstances, he leaves behind only a ceremonial tanto (dagger) and a question that haunts Kaito: What lies beyond the mountains? Driven by curiosity, Kaito ventures beyond his valley for the first time – and stumbles into a world where swords are not just tools, but language. Yet the deeper he delves into the warrior’s art, the more perilous the dance between duty and desire becomes…

Ezra Vael, once known as the Assassin King, ruled the underworld with precision and deadly skill. His targets? High-profile figures who never saw him coming. But after one fateful mission, tragedy struck—and he died. Or so he thought. Instead of vanishing into the abyss, Ezra wakes up in a new world as Kaito Ryoma, the youngest son of a noble samurai family. Unlike his old world of mana and shadows, this world thrives on Ki, where warriors live by honor and the sword. But his rebirth comes with more than just a second chance. He awakens an ancient artifact—The Sage, an enigmatic entity with knowledge that could change his fate. Seiryuu is a land of breathtaking beauty—cherry blossoms drifting in the wind, towering mountains, and endless skies. But beneath the surface of peace and prosperity, a hidden threat looms, waiting to consume everything. Armed with his past-life skills, a new power, and a guiding force, Kaito must carve his own path—not as an assassin in the shadows, but as a warrior destined for greatness.

Apollo Musashi, the main character is a hard worker. Training each day to get stronger and stronger. He has aspirations of being above everything and has the will to make it happen. With this story I dream of bringing back old Shounen and characters that are mean in just the right way. I've seen many new shows try to make their characters as nice as possible, and although I'm making my character nice, he going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm going to try to make the most realistic characters I can make within the confines of this verse. I watch most things nowadays realizing many of these character are just too unbelievably nice with no outbursts and I find that entirely unrealistic. No, I'm not going to have a harem for the main character, because that too I believe is entirely unrealistic from the real world. Without a further adue, I hope you like it.

The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now!

There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN
