Princess Ivana is as dazzling as she is daring, ruling her kingdom with confidence, charm, and a sharp wit. Caught between royal duties and secretive missions, she thrives in the shadows—until Edmund, her childhood rival-turned-ally, reappears. Their complicated past brims with unresolved tension, flirtation, and a shared history that neither can escape. As the kingdom’s fragile peace teeters, Ivana and Edmund’s bickering escalates, drawing them into a game of hidden motives and unspoken desires. In a world of alliances, secrets, and unpredictable twists, one thing is certain: their rivalry is far from over, and their fates are entwined in ways neither can resist.

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.  Warning :  1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you) 2. No harem (probably no romance either) 3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though) 4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin. 5. MC is a careful person, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice. 6. I haven't read (nor will be reading) Baruto. So Baruto plotline won't be considered much in here. What to expect : 1. Smart and consistent MC  2. Lots of training 3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage 4. A lot of original arcs.  5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it). Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or its characters (except the original characters I create). The image used in the cover isn't mine and belongs to R. J PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward.

Albert Cyber School (ACS), kampus swasta paling prestigious di Indonesia. Mahasiswa ACS adalah keluarga kaya dari seluruh Indonesia dan 20% warga Asia. Tiga pangeran ACS yang paling terkenal yaitu Zavier, Aryan & Leo. Mereka dijuluki young, handsome and rich yang tidak akur, mereka seperti kutub yang saling berlawanan. Zavier, seorang troublemaker dan pem-bully & Aryan dijuluki sebagai manusia separuh malaikat. Hubungan mereka canggung karena konflik dan tragedi internal keluarga, tapi dituntut akur karena keduanya adalah wajah & masa depan Albert Group. Leo juga diharapkan bersatu dengan kedua pewaris Albert Group itu. Tapi Leo hidup bagaikan angin, ada antara tiada, menghindari semua orang, termasuk Zavier & Aryan. Satu-satunya yang bisa mendekatinya hanya Jihan, favorite kembarannya, Lea. Jika bukan karena Lea, Jihan bahkan tidak memiliki kesempatan untuk bicara dengan pria dingin itu. Zavier terus menjadi pemberontak yang tidak tertolong, bertindak semena-mena dan sembrono. Aryan selalu mencoba menutupi kesalahan sang sepupu, tapi kesalahan Zavier terlalu kentara untuk ditutupi. Leo memilih menjadi penonton dan melihat kedua pangeran Albert Group itu sebagai pecundang bodoh. Jihan tidak berdaya ketika dihadapkan pada tiga manusia keras kepala itu. Ny. Medeena Albert juga kewalahan menghadapi mereka. Satu-satunya solusi adalah membawa Lea kembali ke Indonesia karena mampu menundukkan ketiga manusia arogan itu. Tapi, tidak mudah membawa Lea pulang karena dia adalah the real troublemaker yang tidak pernah kembali sejak 10 tahun lalu. Lea mencintai kebebasan, tidak suka terikat apapun, tidak menganut agama, tidak memilih kewarganegaraan, dan bergonta-ganti pacar, meski telah dijodohkan dengan Zavier sejak kecil. Lea menjadi salah satu alasan yang membuat Zavier terus meluapkan emosi dan melampiaskan kemarahannya. Penolakan dan pengkhianatan yang dilakukan Lea telah menjerat rasa sakit yang luar biasa tidak tertahankan; perasaan terluka karena tidak merasa dicintai, perasaan tersakiti karena merasa dikhianati, dan perasaan kesepian karena merasa ditinggalkan. Meski Lea menyadari hati yang hancur itu hampir tidak bisa bertahan, tapi jiwa kekanak-kanakannya masih acuh tak acuh, dipenuhi ego dan ambisi liar, sehingga tidak memilih cinta dan mengabaikan impian untuk merangkul yang tercinta, meski sekali saja. Meski cinta telah memecah-belah hatinya hingga serpihannya tidak lagi memiliki bentuk, tapi Zavier diam-diam masih berharap bahwa suatu hari dapat memeluk wanita itu dengan bahagia. Dia mencoba meyakinkan diri bahwa Lea tidak memiliki pilihan lain, selain menikah dengannya.

Years later, the world basks in uneasy peace, Yue Ling's reign of terror a fading memory. But beneath the surface, secrets stir. Few know the truth: that the most revered god in heaven, the Son of the Sun and Lord of the Wind, Zi Feng, was once the heavenly demon, Yue Ling's lover.

His past life haunts him like a nightmare, a painful echo of lost brothers, sacrificed love, and a world stained with blood of his loved. Will Yu Lingyu ever escape the shadow of his past? Can he forge a new life, oblivious to the whispers of his forgotten glory? Or will he be drawn back into the darkness, forced to confront the life what destroyed by him in past - Yue Ling! ...................................................................................... "Ah, the Mighty Wind Lord has become a crying child." Yue Ling's voice was as vicious as a snake and burst out with joy. "Ha ha, you lost your brothers, lost your soul, sacrificed everything for your victory, but why is it still like this? How ironic, dear Feng!" Zi Feng's face was flushed with hatred. Stumbling up, he directly grabbed Yue Ling's shoulders, sinking his eyes into his eternally dark eyes. "Yue Ling!" he shouted. "You have won, heaven is already bathed from the blood of my brothers. Please get out of here now," he cried in his heart-rending grief. The devil's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Victory is most beautiful with the vanquisher's fury. My wind Lord, where is your anger? Where is your vengeance?" Closing his eyes tightly, Zi Feng let the tears flow down his cheeks. "My anger is drowned in a deep ocean, Yue Ling. An ocean of sorrow and blood. So please leave. do not..........force me...........anymore." “Oh, my lord,” Yue Ling said, running his fingers to wipe away the tears on Zi Feng's cheeks. "If you're like this, it's no fun. How about we go to my palace together? And give a toast to your dead comrades. Oh, for your Li Jiu too." Yue Ling's right hand wrapped around Zi Feng's waist and pressed him against his body. His left hand was tugging at Zi Feng's silky hair. "But you know, making yourself the prize of my triumph isn't so bad." He whispered into Si Feng's ear. Suffering from both physical and mental pain, Zi Feng was unable to escape from Yue Ling's grasp. "Why? Why did you do that? Your revenge was to be taken from me. If you said so, I would gladly hand myself over to you. After all, I had to do it, because I was responsible. But why? Why did they all have to die? Why did Li Jiu have to die? Answer me!" "Shhh! My lord, killing you won't solve my problem. I want you to suffer all the pain in this world and watch everything you love slowly to dissolve into darkness……I want you to," Zi Feng's jaws held. Yue Ling lifted Feng's face up, forcing him to look into his eyes. "I want you to melt away, fall on your knees beside me and beg for all of this to stop. But I won't stop until all your loved ones are dead. Li Jiu is only the beginning……the sun, the moon will all be destroyed. Oh, and also your dear brother too.............Wei Yunhe!”
