Reacting To Tokyo Ghoul

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

The protagonist died suddenly in her past life. Entering the book she had read, she does not know what awaits her. Our character's personality is very strange. She is a crazy and cruel woman, but at the same time a tragic one. The further she goes on her adventure, the more hidden things about herself will come to light. The curse that was on her was causing her to gradually lose the ability to have feelings, and her only hope to feel them again is love. Too bad she only has one chance and fate was so bad for her... So her love story became more of a tragedy where her unstable mind was trying to stay whole... Too bad these happened too suddenly .... Just when she was ready to destroy the planet and all the people on it, a certain someone saves them by turning everything upside down for her. Now there is a long fight for the two of them, but strangely the girl's body suddenly gave way. When she opens her eyes again she is in another girl. It's just that not only the body has changed, but also the soul... Now she has put together all the missing pieces of the puzzle of her past lives and a shocking truth has come out that is not only shaking her but the whole world... Now the real story will begin... The author here: the first volume is more like ...hmm... chapter zero? Introduction ? The beginning? The real story will actually begin with the next volume. The first flight is called the 'Origins Scenario' and has a much deeper meaning. It will probably have more than 100 chapters so there is still a long way to go before we can talk about the next volume... I hope you like my book :)

Tokyo Nights

In the neon-drenched streets of a futuristic Tokyo, a rogue team of cyber-enhanced bounty-hunting ninjas operates in the shadows, eliminating high-profile criminals one target at a time. Known as the Specter Blades, they work for the highest bidder, but their true mission is far more personal—bringing down the city’s untouchable crime lord, Ryujin "The Oni" Kisaragi, a tyrant whose grip on Tokyo is suffocating. Leading the Specter Blades is Kael "Ghost" Takeda, a cyber-ninja with a haunted past, enhanced reflexes, and a smart-mouthed AI implanted in his neural system. His team consists of an elite group of misfits, including: Izanami "Iza" Kisaragi, the deadly daughter of Ryujin, who betrayed her father after witnessing his monstrous experiments on people. A master assassin with razor-sharp cybernetic limbs, she hides her past from some of the crew while secretly feeding them intel. Rex "Deadeye" Mori, a grizzled sharpshooter with an addiction to risk and a dark sense of humor, wielding an experimental sniper rifle that can see through walls. Nova, a tech-hacker and drone specialist who keeps the team connected and one step ahead of the law, hiding a secret that could change the world. Sable, a former corporate security enforcer turned brutal melee fighter with a vendetta against Ryujin’s empire. Each bounty they claim brings them closer to dismantling Ryujin’s empire, but with every step forward, they uncover something darker—Ryujin isn’t just a crime lord; he’s orchestrating something monstrous. Beneath the city, illegal cyber-experiments are creating something beyond human, an army of mind-controlled horrors that could turn Tokyo into a nightmare. As the team closes in, paranoia sets in. Someone is leaking information, and the closer they get to Ryujin, the more their alliances are tested. Kael begins to suspect that one of them might be compromised. Meanwhile, tension grows between Kael and Iza, their mutual attraction at war with the reality that, if they fail, she might have to be the one to kill her own father. With the clock ticking and betrayals looming, the Specter Blades must face off against cybernetic assassins, rogue AI, and horrors lurking beneath the city. Their mission isn’t just revenge—it’s survival. But when the final truth is revealed, it will shake Tokyo to its core. Because Ryujin hasn’t just been building an army. He’s been preparing for something worse.

Mated to moonboun

That night, during my episodes engineered by a disease I had no control over, I sensed something happening in the woods. I should be grateful for this condition because if there was anything it was good for was heightening my senses and abilities that outmatched every other wolf in the pack. Adding to my incredible genes when the effects of my disease took over, I was a force to reckon with and that's why everyone always took steps to protect themselves from me because they knew what I could do. So when the moon came and my madness began, I ran fast as lightning through the words stopping only after I had sensed something ominous. I traced it, picking up the scent. I was not surprised to see that it was the rogue wolves at work again. The rogues had many chances to join our pack and our cause but they turned it down time and again till the lycan kings stopped trying. I could remember getting this lesson long ago and I thought that by the time I became king, I would resume what my fathers and predecessors had abandoned, I wanted to bring peace to my pack. However, it was not long for me to change my view as I saw proof of the true nature of these rogues night after night. My first physical encounter was the last straw for me to tag them as enemies of the pack as my ancestors have done. These rogues, although they might look like us and have super abilities like we do, are nothing like any member of our pack. We have chosen to forgo some of our many primitive ways, deciding to stand together rather than fall at our own hands. We began a civilization, a country, a home where we can all protect each other in trust and unity but the rogues stand against everything that we are, choosing rather to attack and live like mindless animals than to live in peace. But their disagreement and disapproval is the least that we have to fear from them but their thirst for our flesh and the pleasure of our females.
