The Rise Of The Shield Hero React To Naofumi

humanity is on the brink of extinction after a 27-year-long period of darkness known as the "Eternal Night." This worldwide eclipse has allowed vampires to rise to power, plunging the world into chaos as they hunt humans with near-impunity. The story follows Gabriel de León, a Silversaint—a half-human, half-vampire warrior dedicated to fighting the vampire scourge. Captured by his enemies, Gabriel is forced to recount his life story to a vampire historian named Jean-François, who serves the vampire aristocracy. In his captivity, Gabriel reveals details of his past—the brutal training he endured as a young Silversaint, the horrors he faced on the battlefield, and the loved ones he lost along the way. Through his storytelling, he exposes not only the horrors of the vampire empire but also the moral compromises and betrayals within his own order. As he speaks, Gabriel reflects on his obsession with the Holy Grail, a fabled artifact that may hold the key to ending the Eternal Night and wiping out the vampire rulers once and for all. However, as Gabriel dives deeper into his story, it becomes clear that his quest has left scars—both physical and emotional—that he may never fully heal from. The line between hero and monster blurs as Gabriel's past is unveiled, showing him as a deeply flawed yet determined figure willing to risk everything for a dying world. Throughout this reluctant confession, Gabriel wrestles with guilt, anger, and an unyielding sense of duty, ultimately leading to a narrative that is both epic and intensely personal, revealing the darkness that surrounds and dwells within him.

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?

Humanities technology advanced exponentially throughout the years. The only thing that they hadn't focused on for a while was space. The endless abyss that they call space was still unknown to them. Once they colonized their solar system, they thought it wasn't enough. They sent a search party out of their solar system but soon lost contact. Not long after, Earth lost contact with all of the other planets. Then a huge earthquake shook the earth itself and then portals opened up around the world. Soon monsters came out ravaging and flattening cities. Only a brave group of humans entered the portals which they then found multiple discoveries on the other side. They found stones that gave them different abilities and monsters a different world with a boss that lets them exit the portal, which was soon called dungeons. Those 6 friends were then later on called the 6 Primordial Braves. With the news of this, countries all over the world sent in people to retrieve stones, and then they would crush them, granting them abilities. They would then go back in to retrieve more and hand them out to the public. 500 years passed... This isn't the story of a hero. It's the story of a weak girl who was ridiculed and bullied every day because of her low status. And due to her cowardly nature, she was unable to fight back, making more people pick on her. While she was laying in an alleyway, with bruises and cuts all over her body, she saw a green, semi-see-through panel that appeared in front of her. It was like a notification you would see in the VR games from 400 years back. The green panel had a black text that said... [Would you like to become an Ancient Being?] ------------------------------------------------------------------- !Spoiler Below! . . . At the beginning of the novel, there will be a lot of going back and forth between the MC's personality. Plus, most of the problems, in the beginning, will be centered around herself. Also, at the beginning of the novel, there is an act of short and sweet revenge that lingers just a bit longer through the story, but this novel is not revenge-based. The Yuri aspect won't be as heavily used compared to my first novel. The girlfriend is mainly used to help the MC get through the mental box and distorted feelings that the MC has to suffer through at the beginning of the novel. You might dislike the characters that I made Lucy's friends, but I promise you'll change your mind later on. I think... Okay, that should be it! Phew... that was tiring.

For young Bo Jian, born into the powerful Bo family in Huǒmáng Chéng (Flame Python City), life begins as a struggle. Marked as the family’s weakest member, Jian cannot cultivate due to a mysterious seal placed upon him since birth—a seal woven by his mother at the cost of her life to protect him from forces too powerful for an infant to withstand. Mocked and dismissed by others, Jian immerses himself in knowledge, studying herbs, ancient techniques, and the art of alchemy, though he knows he lacks the qi to bring these lessons to life. Everything changes when Jian stumbles upon a legendary sword hidden deep within the forest—The Dragon's Spine—a weapon infused with the soul of Zhēnyè Lóng, an ancient dragon whose power rivals that of the gods. Bound by fate and blood, the dragon’s spirit awakens within Jian, offering him guidance, protection, and the means to break the seal that’s kept his potential shackled. Jian’s transformation is swift and remarkable, unlocking both the Lion's Heartflame, a supreme flame gifted by his mother, and the dragon’s own essence, imbuing him with a strength beyond his years.

As battle lines are drawn, the Bo, Long, and Yan families unite to defend Huǒmáng Chéng, even as they face insurmountable odds. Now, Jian must navigate a path of cultivation forged by both legacy and fate, mastering his newfound abilities and facing forces that would tear his city apart. With the power of flame, dragon scales, and ancient wisdom, Jian’s journey transforms from one of survival to one of destiny, as he battles to protect those he loves—and awakens a power that even the gods themselves may fear.
