Ultra Instinct Luigi

Haruki didn't know who he was, where he came from, or for what purpose he existed. For three years, he had lived on instinct, scraping by with the rudimentary sword skills he'd gained through life-and-death encounters, eking out a meager existence. He had long resigned himself to the belief that he would muddle through life until his luck ran out and death finally claimed him. That was, until he met the general—clad in gleaming silver and blue armor—cutting through enemies with the grace and ease of someone sipping tea at a garden party. Haruki couldn't look away. By the time Haruki realized just how deep the pit he had fallen into was, he had already willingly offered his life. But things weren’t as simple as exchanging deep feelings—especially when you’re repeatedly robbed of your memories, and there’s the looming risk of losing the ability to even create new ones with the person you hold dear. In the end, will Haruki be able to remember? And Lanling—can he break free from the curse? ~#~#~#~#~#~ Bright and lively gong (Haruki) x calm and collected shou (Lanling) #GongProtagonist It's a tragic love story with a HE.

Synopsis: On Earth, gaming isn't just a hobby; it’s a way of life. Gamers are revered, their earnings rivaling those of CEOs and their influence shaping governments. At the very top stands Malachi Reed, the Immortal, a title reserved for the best of the best. For 20 years, he dominated the gaming world, leading his team, The Emperors, to countless victories.

Will he rise to become the Immortal of Tattooria, or will this world be the ultimate boss that finally ends his streak? The game might have changed, but Malachi is still playing to win. Game on.

[Action/Science Fantasy/Battle Academy] Updating daily through Arc 1 One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals. Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist. Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world. There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals. ----------------------------------------------------- Also available on Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Spacebattles Forum.

Crossers invaded the world and thrust Humanity into an interworld conflict. Humanity's instinct for survival was stimulated—rekindling the ancestral bloodline's legacy that lies dormant within them.

While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God.

Chapter 1 to 22 will be focused on the MC's descent to villainous but once it kicks off, you won't be disappointed!

In *Blood and Arcane*, the world of New Altera thrives on two primal forces: **Blood** and **Arcane**. Blood symbolizes the essence of life, tied to the powerful Monari and their descendants, the Monari-Kai. Through the infusion of Monari blood, humans can enhance their strength and abilities, creating **Blood Hunters**—warriors who possess the raw, primal power of Monari beasts. These Blood Hunters are humanity's protectors, defending them from the dangerous creatures that roam the land. However, the process is fraught with danger, as only a rare few possess the compatibility to withstand Monari blood without losing control to its savage instincts. **Arcane**, on the other hand, embodies the mystical gifts granted by the goddesses, such as elemental control, telekinesis, healing, and gravity manipulation. Those blessed with Arcane powers are marked by the Goddess Althara and must learn to wield their gifts with discipline and precision. Together, Blood and Arcane form the backbone of New Altera, where warriors, known as Blood Hunters, and gifted individuals face the challenges of a world teeming with legendary beasts, deadly magic, and ever-present danger. In this land, survival hinges on mastering the balance between raw physical might and the arcane forces that shape reality.

In a world bustling with superheroes, villains, aliens, and even monsters, where extraordinary powers are the norm, there lies a hidden village untouched by the chaos of the outside world. In this secluded haven, there lives a tight-knit community known as Elysium, a group of people who have come together to find their place in the world. Amidst this extraordinary village, a boy is born with a distinct ability that sets him apart from everyone else—and eyes that hold a never before seen power. Unlike most of his fellow villagers, his abilities are uncharted territory, a world beyond the comprehension of even the most experienced. He's the first of his kind, and he hates it. He is a prodigy, a genius, an anomaly. As a child, he struggles to fit in, surrounded by people who love him, but he doesn't understand that. Instead, he tries desperately to prove himself worthy. Yet, he can't seem to escape the feeling that something is wrong with him. Deep down, he knows something is weird with him, he has this nagging feeling, a gut instinct that he can't explain, telling him that he doesn't belong. He feels like an imposter, a pretender. He's an abomination. A freak. An unnatural being. —— Please note, I am new to writing. This was my best attempt at a synopsis, I've barely planned ahead, just a very vague outline. I’m open to any and all criticism, looking for feedback on everything, not just spelling and grammar, especially ideas and ways to improve/continue the story.

Earth, 1957. In a secluded and forgotten corner of the world, a being unlike any other is born — an extraordinary hybrid of bear and human. Hidden from the world, he is raised in secret by a woman who becomes his teacher, his guide, and his only family. From her, he learns the ways of humanity: language, knowledge, and emotions. His mind grows rapidly, far surpassing human intellect, and his strength is unmatched. But peace is fleeting. Their sanctuary is discovered by government forces. In the chaos that follows, he protects the woman, giving her a chance to escape. Overwhelmed by his growing instincts and the violence within him, he makes a choice. Fearing he might one day hurt her, he distances himself from her. He leaves. She disappears into the world of humans, while he is left with only the wilderness as his refuge. Alone and hunted, he vanishes into the depths of nature. Time passes, and with it, he forgets. His mind, once sharp and brilliant, is dulled by instinct. He forgets what it means to be human. One day, fate calls him back. While wandering the forest, he witnesses an attack — a wild bear mauling a man. Something stirs within him. Memories. Instincts. He intervenes. He fights. He kills. The man, paralyzed by fear, watches in disbelief. But then, something impossible happens. The hybrid speaks. His voice, rough and broken, echoes through the forest. The man collapses in shock. But this is only the beginning. Unknown to him, he is not the only one of his kind. The truth of his origins is tied to beings far older than humanity. They created him. They watch him. And they have plans for him. His journey will span centuries, through war, solitude, and discovery, as he faces the ultimate question: Is he man, beast, or something far beyond either? “Echoes from the Eternal” is a raw, powerful tale of evolution, identity, and survival. Through the eyes of the hybrid, readers experience a world both familiar and alien, brutal and profound. His story is one of silence and echoes — echoes that will reverberate across the ages.

As he approached his village, he noticed something unusual—scattered belongings and a broken window here and there.

He froze at the entrance, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. The sight before him made his blood run cold. His home was in shambles, and monstrous creatures with thick, jagged fangs and gleaming eyes prowled through the wreckage.

He bolted, running as fast as he could, but the monsters had already picked up his scent. Their footsteps thundered behind him, a terrible reminder that he was now their prey.
