The Riddler And Clock King

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Throughout history, Humans have strived for greatness, not only in name but in deeds as well, and many failed to achieve it.  It was no different in a Land of Dragons, Mythical beings, Knights, Mages, Demi-humans, and demonic beings. But their greatness came in a different form, a concept known as POWER.  The power to conquer, to build, to control, to protect, and to love.  Raffaelo Jun was a man born with a silver spoon, yet his sheltered upbringing prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be.  He was unable to achieve the greatness of the prestigious family of the Jun household and became a sight of ridicule.  He was used for a while until he wasn't, then discarded and killed for being a threat to the throne, but Fate had other plans.  Reborn as a child, he starts over as the sole son of the Jun household, his actions brimming with intent.  He had one goal: attain the power that he once ignored and stand on the precipice of human existence, to protect all that are dear to him.  Note: It starts slowly until recent chapters. Interesting side characters, power systems, techniques, and a mixture of variety with the right blend. If you enjoy this w⁶ork, give me your support, with votes, comments, and reviews :>

Uche had spent most of his life in hiding, constantly on the run, all because of a trait that made him different from everyone else. He possessed a strange power that allowed his body to heal from almost any injury, instantly. While this might seem like an incredible, life-saving ability in a world full of mere mortals, it only brought Uche misery and trouble, turning him into an outcast. People called him a Monster, shunned him, and wished him nothing but death. But while most wanted him gone, there were others who saw him differently. Instead of calling him a Monster, they referred to him as "Connect." Instead of driving him away, they sought to capture him, to use his power for their own gain. As a result, Uche had lived his life in fear, hiding from both those who despised him and those who wanted to exploit him—until the day he was kidnapped by an organ trafficking ring, and lost one of his eyes during a forced surgery, and that was when everything changed for him.

Oh, where do I even begin with this epic tale of the world of the four realms? Let me paint you a picture of a world beyond your wildest imagination, a world created by not just one, but Six almighty Gods, over a billion years ago! The Six Almighty Gods created Arcana, the realm of the Gods. Olympia, the realm of the Celestials, who were children of the Gods. Lyra, an empty realm. And the Abyss, the realm of the dead. Now, let's talk about Lyra, the third realm. Picture this, a vast and empty realm, devoid of any life. But then, the Six Gods didn't just leave it empty, they created not one, not two, but eight different races of lower beings to inhabit it! Can you even fathom the sheer scale of creativity and imagination it must have taken to create such diverse and fascinating creatures? We have Monsters, Demons, Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves, Fairies, and Beasts, all living together in Lyra. Our story focuses on Jordan, the lazy genius second prince of the mighty Wolf clan. After leaving the Underground Tower - his home for 21 years, he arrives at the Wolf clan city to take over as leader, but instead, he unites all the fifteen monster clans under him. And with that he created the most powerful empire on the continent, The Northern Empire. When other races discovered the new nation of monsters, one human kingdom decided to wage war against them, thinking they were a new and weak kingdom. This war sets off a chain reaction that triggers the Great Change - a series of events that transform the world in ways both destructive and evolutionary. But the new Empire was in no way weak. Jordan and his empire went to war on the human kingdom and three of the six demon lords. Jordan used this war to solidify the standing of his Empire in the continent and gain authority among the Kings and Queens of the Mavis continent. But all this was just a means to an end for Jordan's ultimate goal. When he left the Underground Tower, he discovered that The Veil used to trap the Demon race was about to break. And with that, the release of the Demon Legion, the largest and most powerful army on the continent. Now Jordan must rally not just the monsters, but all other five races: Elves, Giants, Humans, Dwarves and Fairies, together and face against the powerful demon army. War, death, and destruction ensue, and amidst the chaos, Jordan finds himself at the center of it all.

If only I could find the perpetrator, I would like to encourage them to make another attempt and cooperate as long as it is painless. No memories, People after my life, a family to look after and a kingdom to rule, I have never been this responsible in my entire life!

In a distorted reality, Frecitannia's Empire conquered Japan entirely, depriving its people of their values and heritage. The nation and its citizens were stripped of their pride and are viewed as disposable slaves trimmed down to second class citizens. Lucius Von Imperius, the offspring of the Japanese princess and the Empire's ruler, unexpectedly acquires a Nanomachine that gives him the power to manipulate time to some extent. Using his power, he becomes the notorious terrorist and criminal called Eon, determined to bring an end to the oppressive Frecitannian regime through his intelligence and strategic smarts. Engaged in warfare, deceit, politics and brutality, he struggles as a teenage boy balancing an ordinary life with friends, family, school and the need to conceal his true identity for the safety of the people he cares for. (This novel draws a lot of inspiration from the popular anime and manga series Code Geass. I decided to create it because I couldn't find another work of fiction that captured the essence of the anime, so I wanted to be the first to do so. While there may be similarities, I aim to bring my own unique perspective to the story, as a masterpiece like Code Geass cannot be replicated.) I am only a novice writer, so I don't anticipate producing anything above exceptional.
