Dumbledore Duel Grindelwald

(SPOILER ALERT!!!!:) In a realm crushed under the iron fist of the ruthless tyrant Dextin, hope flickers like a dying ember. The story explodes in a moment of shocking defiance when the ancient, sentient Red Katana chooses Dran, a battle-scarred elite soldier, as its wielder. This isn't some destined hero; Dran is a man tormented by personal tragedy, his wife brutally murdered by Dextin himself. His desperate whisper—"Why the hell did you choose me?"—sets the stage for a rebellion born not of prophecy, but of raw, agonizing pain and a thirst for vengeance. The palace becomes a battleground of wills and blades. Dran's initial, impulsive strike against Dextin ignites an inferno, both literally and figuratively, as the palace burns and loyalties shift. Witnessing Dran's unyielding spirit, the oppressed elite soldiers, led by the steadfast Aingo, finally find their courage, abandoning their tyrant. While Dran faces Dextin in a brutal, no-holds-barred duel, Aingo orchestrates a desperate prison break, freeing countless villagers and sending Neon to protect Dran's young son, Rider. The climax is a devastating, fiery dance of death between Dran and Dextin, each fueled by a personal, consuming hatred. Despite suffering grievous wounds, Dran unleashes the Red Katana's full, unbridled power in a final, sacrificial attack. Though he falls, his dying wish to Aingo—to raise Rider as a warrior and the future wielder of the Red Katana—cements a new legacy. The Red Katana, now dormant but bound to the true Sword Master, awaits its next champion. Seventeen years later, the echoes of Dran's sacrifice linger, poised to awaken a new dawn for a land still yearning for true freedom.

Synopsis: “I Reincarnated as One of the Three Stooges in a Fantasy World” Saul, a worn-out man stuck in the grind of daily life and a fan of cliché light novels, has his life abruptly ended in a dark alley—right after finishing the disappointing finale of his favorite story. But death wasn’t the end—it was just the prologue. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world... in the body of Enrico Solcren Ferreira, a minor, pathetic character from that very same light novel. Overweight, lazy, and doomed to be crushed by the protagonist in a duel already set in motion, Enrico is the kind of background joke who barely survives the first arc. Now, with a sarcastic system, humiliating stats, and only two weeks before his inevitable public defeat, Saul must defy the story’s original fate. To do that, he’ll have to grow stronger, break clichés, and turn this stooge into a real contender. Reincarnating as a worthless villain has never been this desperate… or this entertaining. ---

In a time and place where one’s soul can be morphed into a weapon, there are modern-day magicians called Mage-Knights. Although Kurogane Ikki is a student at an institution that trains Mage-Knights, he has no particular talent in magic and is labeled the “Failure Knight” or “Worst One.” Getting way less than average marks in the scorings, he was forced to repeat a year. But with the arrival of a new head of the institution, a new rule was created: knights whose abilities are compatible, as decided by the board, must share rooms and attend practice and training together throughout their school years to bring up their abilities to the max. It is a rule to implement the absolute verdict of ability. Ikki’s roommate, Stella Vermillion, turns out to be a princess of another foreign country. Stella is a Rank A knight: the type of genius in magic who only appears once a decade. When Ikki walked in on her while she was changing her clothes, it caused a huge misunderstanding, which eventually ended up in a duel between the two of them. The punishment for the losing side is Eternal Submission to the winning side. Forced to live the same room and practice magic together throughout all their school years, how will Stella and Ikki’s relationship evolve? ————————————————— DISCLAIMER This is a work of fiction.

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

In this world, magic flows through Veins — natural conduits in the body that channel raw energy called Resonance. Every individual is born with a unique Affinity, a subtle alignment that shapes how their Resonance manifests: fire, shadow, kinetic force, or rarer, unstable forms. Resonance is the invisible current of raw magical energy that courses through a person’s Veins — the internal pathways that conduct magical flow, similar to how blood carries oxygen. It’s not the spell itself, but the power behind it — like electricity before it’s channeled into machines. After a catastrophic magical incident during a practice duel, Seren Vael is left with a ruined reputation — and a mind that is no longer fully his. Everyone believes he simply lost control. Only Seren knows the truth: something else moved through him that day. A second soul. A presence that speaks in the quiet, stirs in dreams, and pulls at his magic like it was always meant to be theirs. As his Affinity warps and his control falters, Seren begins to change — emotionally, mentally, even physically. He was a side character. He still is. He just wanted to be left alone. …But fate, have other plans.

The Hidden Ranker Synopsis: Lucien Drex is a first-year nobody at Arcanum Academy — lazy, unranked, and always missing from class. He naps through spell theory, avoids duels like the plague, and somehow convinces everyone he’s too weak to matter. But beneath the yawn and sarcasm lies something far more dangerous. Lucien doesn’t fight with power. He wins with traps, mind games, and sigils nobody else understands — because he helped design the system in secret before anyone knew his name. And when his old identity starts to leak through the cracks of Arcanum’s elite society, so do the enemies who erased him once before. Now, secret organizations like the Pale Sigil want him as a pawn. Rival prodigies try to expose him. And one girl — Seraphina Vale — might just remember the day he rewrote a forbidden flame sigil and disappeared from existence. Too bad Lucien just wants a nap. With sarcastic plans, manipulated professors, and terrifyingly accurate "accidents," Lucien slowly breaks the Academy’s ranking system from within — all while hiding the truth:

He doesn’t seek thrones. He was born to destroy them. In a world where ranks define worth — from F to God-tier — two boys walk at the bottom. Ash Elric and Kirito Valen. F-rank. Orphan students. Invisible in a world of nobles, prodigies, and divine bloodlines. They’re mocked, beaten, underestimated... And yet, they never break. But here’s the truth no one sees: Ash isn’t weak — he’s waiting. Kirito isn’t quiet — he’s watching. Together, they sealed their powers. Together, they hide in plain sight. Because when the masks come off… Even the gods will kneel. Welcome to Arcane Dominion Academy — Where betrayal bleeds, secrets burn, and monsters wear human skin. Where a forgotten prophecy whispers of a Scion who will rise, not to lead… …but to end everything. ✨ If you're into action, slow-burn power reveals, academy rivalries, deadly duels, mysterious councils, deep bonds, and characters who don't just break the rules — they rewrite fate itself… Read now. I update daily. Your next obsession starts here.

In a world of Formidable Monsters, Summoners forge their resolve in the fire of battle, transforming every duel into a spectacle of strategy and brutal courage.

In a time when kingdoms rose and fell under the weight of ambition and betrayal, War Among Kingdoms weaves the intertwined fates of rulers navigating political intrigue, familial conflict, and the chaos of war. Set in a richly imagined world inspired by the golden age of West Africa, the story begins with the Kingdom of Benin under the reign of King Akenzua, who seeks to restore peace to a fractured realm scarred by his father’s conquests. The tale shifts to Prince Nehikhare, a boy raised on tales of vengeance by his grandfather, King Akhigbe. Consumed by the desire to reclaim Benin’s dominance, Nehikhare secretly amasses followers and wages brutal raids against neighboring kingdoms, ultimately defying his father’s peaceful reign. When his rebellion is discovered, Akenzua banishes him, but Nehikhare’s survival and transformation into King Nehizena soon threaten the fragile stability of the region. At the heart of the story is Queen Nosaze, Akenzua’s daughter, who ascends the throne after her father’s death. Determined to protect her people and uphold her family’s legacy, Nosaze emerges as a formidable leader, forging alliances to defend the western kingdoms from a masked invader. Her journey becomes intertwined with King Sonni of Gao, an estranged ally harboring his own grudges, as they unite against a shared threat. As Nosaze and Sonni confront mounting challenges, rumors surface linking the masked invader to Nehikhare, shaking Nosaze’s resolve. The story crescendos in battles of epic proportions, including a brutal duel between Sonni and the ruthless King Piye, and the eventual confrontation with Nehikhare’s empire. Themes of loyalty, ambition, and the cost of vengeance drive the characters as they fight for survival and redemption in a world teetering on the edge of collapse.

A thousand years later, in the year 1795 of the Ancient Imperial Calendar, Harloumen was reborn as Ricardo Kislaveyn, the son of Lord IV Orsman, the 65th lord of the Kislaveyn Dynasty, but this life would be just as dangerous as the previous one, if not more so, because in the lord's harem, each wife and concubine would kill the sons of the others so that their own sons would become the next lord, most boys would die before they even reached the age of 10 due to intrigues in the Harem. Will Ricardo be able to survive in this dangerous environment?
