Foolish Samurai

-Participating in WSA- In a world where fate is dictated by prophecy, heroes are chosen by the gods, and Dark Lords are doomed to fall… Lucian Draeven refuses to play along. Once feared as the greatest Dark Lord in history, Lucian had the world under his iron rule—until the so-called Chosen Hero struck him down in a blinding flash of divine justice. The kingdoms cheered. The world rejoiced. Too bad Lucian isn’t actually dead. Having faked his demise and gone into hiding, Lucian watches from the shadows as a new Dark Lord rises, more reckless and incompetent than ever. Worse, the gods have selected another overly enthusiastic, sword-swinging Chosen Hero to bring “peace” once again. The problem? Neither of them have a clue how to actually rule the world. As kingdoms crumble, wars break out, and the balance of power teeters on the edge of collapse, Lucian comes to a horrifying realization: If the world is going to survive, then it’s up to him—the so-called villain—to secretly fix everything from the shadows. But there's just one little catch… Lucian’s legendary Dominions are still sealed, and the only way to regain his strength is by playing the role of a villain once more—spreading fear, manipulating his enemies, and pulling the strings behind the scenes. Now, as the oblivious Hero and foolish new Dark Lord battle it out, neither realizes that the true mastermind is watching their every move. Because if the world wants a villain… Then Lucian will be the greatest villain it has ever seen.

Adrian Voss was a top-ranked beta tester—until the game wiped his progress and erased his tracks. Now a nameless nobody in Primordial Abyss, he has nothing... except a broken class that lets him control dungeon bosses. Forget farming. Forget grinding. Adrian doesn’t need to level up—he just needs dungeons. Every monster he subjugates fights for him, every boss he enslaves generates passive income, and every greedy player who steps into his domain? They drop loot when they die. From the shadows, he builds an empire, turning dungeons into PvP traps and farming the foolish who dare to challenge his rule. As whispers of him will spread and top guilds, corporate players, and elite assassins start hunting him— But they don’t realize… the real dungeon isn’t in the game. It’s the one he’s trapping them inside. Let the hunt begin.

How many seconds in eternity? The question that the foolish loner, Kiyomi Otonashi, attempts to find the answer to in this story. In his attempt to answer this question that seemingly has no answer, Kiyomi’s path in life seems to have unexpected visitors. Idle banter, meaningful conversations, and nonsensical nonsense are what begin to color his life. Would Kiyomi Otonashi be able to do anything without the people he meets? Those hands stretched out to him won’t be able to do anything if he doesn’t reach out his hand, too. Nothing has changed. No one has changed. Kiyomi Otonashi hasn’t changed. But they can, right? This is a simple story about people who desperately want things to change, even if they seem complacent. Nothing can change, no one can change, and you can’t change if you don’t step out of your comfort zone and forge ahead. Chisel down that mountain made of diamond, no matter how long it takes.

Raised under the stern guidance of his father, a respected samurai, Dikun is trained in the art of the sword from a young age. Though he lacks overwhelming strength, his mind is his greatest weapon — sharp, calculating, and endlessly curious.

And when love enters his path, forcing him to question everything, the choice becomes even more perilous. In this slow-paced, immersive journey of power and ambition, "Rise of the Silent Dragon" weaves a tale of strategy, strength, and sacrifice. Dikun Silver's path will not be one of glory, but of survival. For in the world of the Yakuza, the only law that matters is the one written in blood. The dragon has awakened. And the world will tremble.
