Unfettered Shogun

"Was it worth it?" An ethereal voice sounded in the mind of the young man that was floating in the starry river. This youth has a white long hair and eyebrows that made him look unfettered. However, a hint of sorrow can be felt on his tranquil face. It makes one feel lonely. "I've finally reached the summit of the world. I am now an Immortal." As the young man freely let himself be carried by the currents of time, he looked back to his life that was full of sacrifices and tragedies. "Was it worth it?" The Immortal young man repeated the question of the ethereal voice as tears fell down on his serene closed eyes. "Oh, Heaven." The Immortal's voice sounded in his mind. "If I am an Immortal then, why can't I go back time?" "Oh, child." The ethereal voice replied. "There is no such thing as going back time. The world only revolves forward. Time itself is only a concept; to put description to the events, to the happenings, to the certainties.." "..even I, the Heaven itself, do not have this kind of omnipotent power. As after all, it does not exist." The Immortal let out a mouthful of air full of indignant feeling as he opened his eyes that looked like the sun and moon. "I understand that being Immortal is a lonely path, Heaven. Yet, despite prepared, how I wish I did not pursue this after all." "However, you are here already." The ethereal voice responded. "You are not alone, child. You have me to accompany you for the rest of the infinity." Hearing the ethereal voice response, the Immortal only let out a sigh as he mentioned, "Maybe I'm just tired of living, Heaven." "I will bid good night for now." The Immortal's eyes closed once more as he quietly fell back to sleep. "Sweet dreams, Immortal." Seeing this, the Heaven did not stop the Immortal from going back to sleep as its final voice faded.

In the realm of Eldoria, Prince Eldric Von Bloom shoulders the weight of his father's legacy, inheriting the revered Ebon Grimoire—a singular, ancient tome of extraordinary power. This grimoire bequeaths to Eldric an extraordinary gift: a wellspring of boundless mana, unfettered by the constraints that govern magic in this world. Eldric's quest unfurls as a solitary odyssey, a lone figure navigating depths of dungeons. The dungeons, shrouded in danger, are as much a test of Eldric's mettle as they are a source of power and growth for Travellers. Through perseverance and strategic prowess, he unearths secrets long thought lost, uncovering arcane techniques and powers hidden within the grimoire's cryptic pages. With every hard-won victory, Eldric inches closer to his ultimate goal—to fathom the full scope of his father's unmatched abilities and to master the unparalleled magic that courses through him. His infinite source Lumina, a manifestation of his boundless potential, becomes both his salvation and his crucible, shaping him into a formidable force in his own right. As the dungeons grow more perilous, and the challenges escalate, Eldric's resolve is tested. The stakes are high, for the secrets he seeks hold the key to not only his own destiny, but also the fate of Eldoria itself. Each skill book acquired, each boss vanquished, brings him closer to a revelation that could change the course of history. If in a chapter you find he is not fighting something, Eldric is most surely researching, experimenting, growing or learning. In "The Legacy of Ebon Grimoire," solitude becomes Eldric's crucible. With each step into the depths, he unearths the essence of power, unlocking a potential that redefines the boundaries of magic. In a world where dungeons guard the keys to mastery, Eldric's journey is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a prince determined to forge his own legacy, one hard-fought victory at a time.

[On Hiatus] Warming: Mature Content. R18 and Dark but cute and wholesome too. Balanced dose of both. Despite doing nothing but good, Arlott received nothing but bad. He saved the world by being an unaware puppet, but all he got was darkest of mud plastered on him after "they" stripped him of his powers that he thought were his. Drug Addict. Abuser of power. Executing manslaughter just because of a few mocking words and getting offended easily. A sexual beast who would take any woman he liked with his power. The hero, Arlott, was never a savior! All he did was to gain the favors of the public, high status, and riches. With his God-given talents, he was a mighty hero of the masses outside and a devil in private! Those who used him and threw him into the sea of despair didn't even bother to kill him because they kept him as a live example to the other rising tides of the world. And they enjoyed seeing him struggling, doing reckless things, experimenting on himself, and doing anything for that far away chance of revenge. But at the age of forty six, his search for revenge and power finally made him stumble upon an encounter--a sea of malevolence, a shrine of cosmic catastrophe-- that forever changed his fate as his path to vengeance finally started with a second chance at life after being born as a son of one of his main betrayers. This time, Arlott would have his revenge as he walks on the path of an overlord, a ruthless tyrant, and a villain in their lives as he vows to make their life a living a hell, all while thoroughly enjoying his new life in the lightest and darkest ways.

Winner, they say, is the King, while the loser enters into oblivion. In this world, there are heroes and there are villains. What divides them is their values and interests. The hero kills a thousand, maybe ten thousand die because of him. In the end, he is praised for standing up for what he believes. The villain kills a hundred, and decisively so. In the end, he is despised for contradicting the hero. In reality, both the hero and the villain are two people who think differently from other people. They may have the same beginning, but their interpretation of values will lead to the ultimate conflict that will separate them forever. The final destination of Villains is ultimately DEATH. A TRUE VILLAIN MUST DIE. Some Villains are lucky enough to enter into Oblivion, they can be said to have had it easy. For they didn’t die, only their voice was taken away from them. Well, that’s not the case for our Protagonist. He does what he believes and believes what he does. He does not hesitate to enact the values he holds to be true. He is today ‘villainous’ and tomorrow ‘righteous. He is the True Villain.

In the beginning of time, a point not bound by concepts such as space and time, a being stood. He was fettered by neither space nor time as they were nothing but a thought away for him. Feeling bored at the lackluster appearance that was the void, he created a sword out nothing and slashed. With each slash, profound meaning of all known laws were evoked and galaxies were born. In each galaxy, billions of stars came into existence and around these stars floated tens of large planetary bodies. Three Thousand slashes later, this being felt he had made the void more beautiful, but after a while, he felt it was still lackluster. Why this was so, he had no idea. Suddenly, he was struck by a thought. "Why don't I create beings that will facilitate the evolution of this great Universe?" And From him, came the many Celestial Bodies. These beings were the embodiments of The Supreme laws from which all other laws were born. Still, this being found them to be singular. Hence he decided to create a less powerful species with the potential to grow and reach the point he was standing, and from then, the human race were born. This being passed on his knowledge to these Celestial Beings and tasked them with the Divine Task of creating the Ten Thousand living beings that are known in this day and age. ... In a Library, a young boy looking not more than nine years old read from a parchment. "What an interesting person." He muttered to himself. "I wonder if what is written here is true. To be able to create all that is know throughout the Universe. To be unfettered by space and time, life and death. What an admirable position he must have stood in." This young man had nothing but praise for this being as he festered the thought of one day reaching such height. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/jrJBVc7u

[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.
