Bane Backstory

You are now able to Tame the Shadow Fang Hound with Dominance! You are now able to Tame the Brinewolf with Dominance! You are now able to Tame the Lightning Dragon with Soul-Synchronization! You have became the Hunter of the Abyss. Time to face the darkest part of the Dungeon. --- After drowning in a river while drunk, I suddenly wake up inside a Dungeon, surrounded by a complex ecosystem of magical and fantastical Beasts. Barely surviving an encounter with a massive black dog infused with Shadow energy, I manage to tame him thanks to a special skill in my eyes that can make me see few seconds in the future and see a Beast's weakness and stats. Making him my first companion in this strange, new world. I never imagined my life here would start like this. In this world, Dungeons are alive, creating magical Beasts that can be either helpful or dangerously destructive. My journey only becomes more intriguing when I cross paths with three adventurers—each a skilled Beast Tamer, with their own distinct personalities, talents, and mysterious backstories. Together, we embark on a shared adventure through perilous Dungeons and unknown lands, facing everything from cunning bandits to mythical creatures with powerful abilities. As we delve deeper into these magical realms, we uncover hidden secrets about the origin of Dungeons and the forces driving them. Along the way, I tame creatures with unique powers (some of them can even manipulating time and space - that's crazy!) , face off against rival Tamers (of course) , and even discover abilities that hint at my own unexpected connection to this world. It turns out, my Transmigration was not just some random luck. But with each victory, new threats coming my fucking way. More powerful Beasts, more powerful rival adventurers who determined to claim the rarest Dungeons, and whispers of a dark force that threatens not just us but the entire world. Little do I know, taming Beasts is only the beginning; a greater destiny awaits me further down the story. A test that will test my loyalty, courage, and the bond I share with the creatures that fight by my side. This is just the start of a journey through this uncharted fantasy lands, legendary Dungeons, and encounters with both friends and enemies. --- This story will be slow paced at the start. But will get better further. Give it a try. This story also included Harem, cause why not. :)

Author's note: Hi all, thanks for checking out my story .... Just to to clear the air. This story isn’t your typical chosen one saves the world by swinging a magical sword at the last boss type of deal. Nope. This is a heartfelt, occasionally chaotic exploration of magical ecosystems, quirky gods, and an unsuspecting zoologist thrust into a realm that barely understands the meaning of “stable biodiversity.” //What It Is\\ This story is a blend of -Adventure: We’re talking globe-trotting (or Mythica-trotting) to fantastical locales inspired by mythology and folklore from all corners of the world. -Comedy: Think less brooding hero vibes and more “Oh no, the dragon baby ate my shoe again.” -Fantasy: Mythical gods, magical creatures, elemental disasters—standard fare, but with a twist. -Mystery: There’s a deeper story here, unraveling memories, secrets, and betrayal that shaped Mythica. -Slice-of-Life: Yes, there will be moments of Carl trying to keep his sanity while arguing with a nine-tailed fox about proper table manners. //What It’s Not\\ -Grimdark: If you’re looking for morally grey antiheroes and constant existential dread, you’re in the wrong realm. This is more about finding humor and hope in the chaos. -Romance-Driven: Carl’s too busy keeping berserkers from wrecking Mythica to worry about swooning over anyone. -Hardcore Action Fantasy: Sure, there will be battles and drama, but this isn’t about slaying beasts for glory—it’s about saving them (and occasionally bribing them with snacks or whatever). //Who Will Like This\\ -Fans of mythology: If you geek out over legends from Norse, Chinese, Celtic, and other traditions, you’ll feel right at home. Nature enthusiasts: Conservation vibes? Check. Magical ecosystems? Double check. -Comedy lovers: Enjoy laughing at a poor intern’s magical misfortunes? Welcome! -Readers who enjoy quirky, wholesome adventures: It’s not about being perfect, it’s about learning, adapting, and growing. Who Might Not Like This -Readers craving high-octane action: There are fight scenes, but this isn’t “Battle Royale.” -Fans of brooding protagonists: Carl’s more likely to cry over spilled coffee than launch a monologue about his tragic backstory. -Romance-first readers: This story focuses on relationships, but not the swoony kind. ------------------------------ Carl Suis, a recent zoology graduate with a deep love for animals and a fascination with mythology, stumbles upon an ad for an internship at MECCP (Mythical and Endangered Creatures Care and Protection)—a mysterious organization tasked with protecting magical creatures. Desperate for a break, Carl accepts, only to find himself magically transported to Mythica, a fantastical world where dragons, mermaids, and krakens are real. What Carl thought would be a straightforward internship quickly becomes a whirlwind of chaos. His responsibilities go far beyond feeding and caring for these creatures—he’s thrust into solving ecosystem crisis, mediating interspecies conflicts, and navigating cultural clashes that no zoology degree could have prepared him for. And get this—none of the magical creatures are anything like what Carl expected based on the myths in the mythology books. Add in a series of increasingly bizarre situations, and Carl quickly realizes that this is far more than a job—it’s a test of survival. But it’s not all wild creatures and funny mishaps. With Mythica’s fragile ecosystems on the brink of collapse and MECCP under threat of being shut down, Carl must use his wits, empathy, and zoological knowledge to save not just the creatures he’s come to care for, but the future of this extraordinary world. Amidst the humor and calamities, Carl discovers that he may hold the key to preserving the very heart of Mythica… if he can survive long enough to prove it.

A brave hero and a Saint of the Immortal Flames join forces to face the most powerful being in the universe, the Celestial Emperor.

{Disclaimer: The women in this book are highly dysfunctional and violent. If you are not a fan of Tsudere's and Yandere's, this might not be your cup of tea, and the MC is an asshole.} Bane Takashi is a criminal with a knack for getting into trouble—big trouble. After one too many bad choices and a whole lot of theft, he’s got half the world gunning for him. Just when things seem bleak, a mysterious transparent blue woman shows up claiming she's an AI from the future, sent to stop the world from going down the drain. Her solution? Bane has to let his current body die so he can jump into a game world, ten years before it even launches. When Bane wakes up in the game, he’s in the body of a 5-year-old, but with all his memories still intact. He's stuck on an island with the Village of Heroes at its heart. It's here that Bane starts mastering every type of magic, mysticism, and even some wild stuff like witchcraft and cultivation, all to gear up for the craziness that is Dominion Online. Things get even more chaotic when Bane meets a fiery woman who seems to have it out for him. But before he can even figure out what’s happening, she’s already planning their wedding! So now, Bane—an immortal human—and his equally immortal and chaotic elf wife are on a wild ride to save the world(s) from these big bads known as the Supreme Ones. His life might not be so bad if she was the only one, but his overwhelming personality ends up pulling a few more dysfunctional women into the mess. It’s a crazy, toxic, and chaotic adventure, and just because Bane’s being called a hero now doesn’t mean he’s leaving his criminal past behind.

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)

At the dawn of the universe, the most powerful demons and Gods competed in a legendary battle of strength by churning the universal sea. Out from it came many treasures, the most powerful of which was the God Grimoire. After finding its way through various hosts, it fell into the mortal realm. … Tear Shosha’s life was despondent and worthless for as long as he could remember. He was a middle aged gas station worker who was easy to walk over. He didn’t know who his parents were, and his memories of the distant past had been erased.  The only slightly pleasant thing he could remember  was the fact that he loved the display of magic.

With the help of his new God Grimoire, which traveled with him through his soul, Tear—>Tyr will unlock his memories of past and the catastrophe which fell upon his family, forge himself from a weak and timid man to a ruthless and cunning, genius ruler, and climb atop all pinnacles, trampling his way to the throne of Heaven.  “An immortal God?

And now that he’s been reborn into another world, he’s ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down.

In the bustling city of Xianxia, where mystical creatures roam and cultivators strive for power, Yin Fang stands out like a sore thumb. Unlike the tragic orphans with hidden legacies, Yin Fang's backstory is refreshingly mundane—he was simply abandoned at the steps of the Heavenly Lotus Orphanage. But Yin Fang has a peculiar habit: whenever he's surprised, he exclaims, "Holy Chicken Fingers!" It's an odd choice of words, but it's become his signature catchphrase. Perhaps it's his way of coping with the mundanity of his life. Everything changes when Yin Fang unwittingly triggers a celestial phenomenon—an otherworldly tribulation. Lightning strikes him not once, not twice, but thirty-six times. Each bolt of energy sears through him, leaving behind a strange mark on his skin. When the storm subsides, Yin Fang discovers that he has awakened the elusive Beast Evolution System. Now, Yin Fang must navigate a treacherous path. With no tragic past to motivate him, he faces a different kind of challenge: taming unruly beasts and forging bonds with them. His journey is filled with laughter, absurdity, and unexpected friendships. As he trains his newfound abilities, he wonders if he can turn his lack of backstory into an advantage. But lurking in the shadows are ancient secrets, rival cultivators, and a whole lot of beasts observing him in secret. Can he rise above his humble origins and become a true beast tamer? Or will he forever be the eccentric orphan who shouts about chicken fingers? Join Yin Fang on a whimsical adventure where lightning strikes, beasts evolve, and "Holy Chicken Fingers" might just save the day!

ON HIATUS!!! THE AUTHOR CAN'T UPDATE IT FOR NOW. All I wanted was a simple life: love, shelter, food, my hobby of motorcycling. But fate granted me wealth and power, shackling my freedom. Forced into a life of social expectations and heir training, I obeyed for my family's honor and my love for them as Honor and Pride were unshaken pillars of my family. Despite not being strict, they didn't mess around with traditions. To me, they were my heroes, pillars of kindness. Yet the very target of their kindness, the people they saved and protected, became the ones who burned them to their death. Betrayal tore them from me, shattering the good heart they cultivated in me and plunging me into darkness. Only one question left: What do I do!? Revenge!! That's what my heart shouted at me as my heart turned cold. Can I reclaim the heroism they instilled in me, or am I destined to become the villain that grew within me? __________ This novel might have slower or faster pacing in some places. The first volume focuses more on the MC's backstory. The villain's acts and deceptions will be in the second volume. Regarding romance, I haven't added a tag yet.

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story.

Gods, mortals, and legendary animals all share a universe in which the old myths are not so much fiction as actual history. Standing tall in the center of the cosmos, Yggdrasil, the World Tree, connects all realms with its roots and branches. Heroes like Hercules and Hou Yi, as well as monsters like dragons and mermaids, live in this realm, which was built from the remains of the first giant, Ymir. The protagonist of our tale is Eira, a young lady with an enigmatic history who learns that she is the sole surviving descendent of Prometheus, the Titan who defied the gods to give humans access to fire. Bearing this heavenly heritage, Eira has the capacity to manipulate fire, which is a skill that is both a boon and a bane. She has no idea that Eira has the secret to an old prophesy that either predicts the end of the world or its redemption. Eira is thrown into a mission to avert the end of the world as it starts to fall apart due to an accumulation of past grievances and fresh threats. She makes a wide range of friends along the journey, including Tyr, a stoic Norse god banished from Asgard; Lysandra, a crafty and resourceful thief with a hidden connection to the gods; Alaric, a cursed warrior seeking redemption; and Xiao Li, a bright but eccentric scholar obsessed with learning the truth behind the myths.
