Hero But Not Quite

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

In Eryndor, Liam is hailed as the ‘Lustforged Hero’, a legendary figure destined to save the realm from the tyrannical sorcerer, Maltheris.

Joined by a group of fiercely loyal followers—each with their own unique abilities and personal struggles—Liam embarks on a journey to master his powers, unite the fractured kingdoms of Eryndor, and confront Maltheris.

While ranked first till Middle School, now forever-No.2, Zhi Ying was submitting her homework, she overhead some teachers casually gossiping in the staffroom, about how a student’s academic performance had worsened significantly ever since he started dating. 　　Zhi Ying’s eyes lit up when she heard this, then and there she made up her mind to go approach the Year’s No.1 student, date him, and then let him drop rock-bottom in terms of academic performance! This way, she could be the number 1 student again! 　　Much later, still-forever-Number 2 Zhi Ying: If I can’t rank first in school, then I’ll settle for being their person instead!

In a world where people awaken supernatural abilities, power dictates fate. Seventeen-year-old Caine once dreamed of becoming a hero like his parents—renowned protectors who stood for justice. But when they were murdered by the very villains they spared, his faith in heroism shattered. Betrayed by a system that allows evil to thrive, Caine awakens his own abilities and chooses a new path—not as a hero, but as an executioner. If the world refuses to rid itself of villains, he will do it himself. No matter the cost, no matter who stands in his way, he will find the one who took everything from him. He believes his power exists for that very purpose. Because true peace can only be achieved through strength without mercy. But in a world where power shapes destiny, what awaits him on this path of vengeance?

Gaia is dead. The world is a mess of fused realms—acid rain burns the ground, food is scarce, and the air is poison. No one knows why Gaia, the ancient guardian of life, died, but her rotting corpse unleashed chaos. Monstrous Outer Gods slithered into the cracks of reality, twisting the land into nightmares. Yet, in the ruins, people still fight to survive. Under a giant boulder—the only shelter in this toxic wasteland—a boy wakes up. He’s the last human alive, his memories fuzzy except for flashes of a lost Earth: sunny skies, laughter, and a strange power inside him. He can create Kaiju, giant monsters that could crush armies… if he knew how to control them. But right now, he’s just a hungry kid, scrambling to find food and avoid getting killed. Outside his rock, alien clans run the show. Some trade clean water for labor, others heal wounds with glowing mushrooms, and a few settle disputes with fistfights to blow off steam before rage drives them insane. Everyone fears the 100% Rule. Too much stress, sadness, or anger? Your mind snaps, turning you into a Husk—a mindless monster with no soul. The boy’s Kaiju power could help him survive… or push him closer to becoming a Husk. Worse, death here is permanent. If he dies, someone else takes his place—an outcast, a kid, a warrior. The world doesn’t care who you are. It just wants to eat you alive. This isn’t a story about heroes. The boy isn’t special. He’s just trying to survive, one day at a time—bargaining with clans, scavenging junk, and accidentally summoning Kaiju when he panics. Maybe he’ll find a way to fix this broken world. Or maybe he’ll just find a decent meal. In a place this messed up, even small victories matter.

In times of war… What is a Battle Mecha engineer expected to do? Are they expected to do research and realize their imagination? How about a Battle Mecha pilot? Are they expected to enter battle with their mechas as they display their exquisite control through bizarre and bewildering techniques? What about a member of the special scouts? Are they expected to infiltrate deep into the enemy lines as they use stellar unarmed fighting skills to suppress the enemy with a single move? Or are they expected to make use of disguises and stealth techniques to take out the enemy? And what about a military officer? Are they expected to analyze the outcome of a battle? Or are they expected to create brilliant strategies to triumph over the enemy through a miraculous move? For someone who excels in human psychology, deceit, assassination, and disguise, what happens when that person is merged with all those professions? This is the story of a cowardly, wretched, and despicable fatty. -------------- Releasing: Mon, Wed, Fri, and Weekend

The adventures of a young man and how he found himself at the final battle between the legendary Hero and the evil Demon king

Cao Shengming traveled across the country to participate in a reality show. On the day of the broadcast, he unexpectedly did a good deed! Stranger: "Brother, I lost 1,000 yuan, my phone is dead, and now I can't even get home. I don't know what to do..." Cao Shengming: "No worries, buddy. Here’s 300 yuan—go buy a ticket and get home safe." Passerby: "Bro, you’re way too kind. You just believe anyone? What if he’s lying? You’re practically asking to be scammed." Cao Shengming grinned. "No way! I trust him… because I just found 1,000 yuan." Passerby: "???" Netizens: "...So, this streamer has a conscience—but just barely." That same day, Cao Shengming landed a gig as a translator. But when he stepped onto the stage to interpret a leader's speech, the entire livestream chat went wild! Netizens: "Okay, this guy knows English… but definitely not much!"

Sera has always been the strong one—independent, ambitious, and always on guard. She doesn’t need a man, but if she ever falls for one, he better be everything. A real man. Someone who makes her feel safe enough to finally be soft. Cass, on the other hand, is the youngest in his family but somehow still more put together than half the men she’s ever met. Charming, reliable, gym-fit, and effortlessly cool, he’s got everyone wrapped around his finger. Except her. Riri doesn’t fall for sweet words or easy smiles. But when time pushes them into each other’s lives, sparks fly, tensions rise, and suddenly, the line between “not now” and “not ever” starts to blur. Maybe love isn’t about timing. Maybe it’s about choosing someone, again and again.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world. Branded the daughter of a traitor, she was stripped of her title, her dignity, and the life she had known, forced to serve as an Omega among those who once respected her. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. On the night of the mating ceremony, Olivia discovered the cruelest twist of all—she wasn’t fated to just one mate, but three. And not just any three. Alpha Lennox, Alpha Louis, and Alpha Levi—the ruthless triplet Alphas who had spent years tormenting her. Bound to a marriage they never wanted, the triplets made her life a waking nightmare. They paraded their lover, Anita, before her, ensuring she never forgot her place, never forgot that they would never want her. But fate has a way of playing its own game. As secrets unravel and buried truths come to light, the triplets begin to see Olivia for who she truly is—not just a Luna in title, but the woman they never realized they needed. Only now, she’s done waiting.

Peteson was like a god, destroying armies with just his hand, but even someone as strong as him could not avoid death. What he didn’t know was that there was a prophecy about the end of the world and a saviour, and that he would awaken in the future, with humanity destroyed and giant moles who lived underground who wanted to conquer what was “rightfully theirs.” People with an important aura and suits promised Peteson that he would rest once more if he killed those beings, and Peteson did, closing his eyes expecting to be taken to the afterlife after all that effort.

And what better way than travelling across the world? While killing the remaining singularities along the way.

I put this in the disclaimer as well, but If you read this first then I want you to know that this is my first novel. I hope that you all are not too harsh on me and that you find this entertaining. Now that I got that out of the way, I should let you know that this is a My Hero Acedamia fanfiction about a boy named Junichiro. This so not a reincarnation type story and it will not be about some overwhelmingly powerful character. The MC will go through struggles and get stronger as the story progresses. I would also like to clarify that this story WILL NOT HAVE A HAREM. I don't understand why everyone loves a harem story so much and I don't think I ever will. Besides all that I would greatly appreciate it if you gave this a try and decide to read it. (I do not own My Hero Acedamia/MHA)

Heroes are supposed to shine like gold in the memories of those that they have sworn to protect, a beacon of hope on the world's darkest night. They're stars, shinning beautiful, bright, and dying in a glorious explosion of light as they give their lives for their city. Sometimes the heroes don't stay dead though. Sometimes they come back, and they come back wrong. What happens then, when a hero, that is just as much dead as they are alive, finds their way back into the world of the living?

In the kingdom of Eldoria, a great and ancient ritual is performed to summon the ultimate hero who will defeat the Demon King and save the world from destruction. The kingdom’s mages and wizards prepare with great care, knowing that the fate of their people hangs in the balance. But when the summoning portal opens, the hero they get isn’t exactly what they had in mind. Meet Kyle McGee—a laid-back, fearless Florida man who just wanted to enjoy a day of surfing and chilling by the beach. Instead, he finds himself mysteriously transported to a magical medieval world, summoned to defeat a powerful Demon King. Armed with no magic, no skills, and an absurd sense of confidence, Kyle takes the kingdom’s expectations in stride—after all, he’s got improvisation down to an art. From riding dragons like jet skis to defeating monsters with nothing more than random objects, Kyle’s wild stunts and unpredictable chaos quickly become both a blessing and a curse for the kingdom. While the terrified villains struggle to predict his next move, the kingdom’s leaders question how someone so unqualified can be their salvation. The Princess, Seraphina, can’t decide if Kyle is a blessing or a disaster, but there’s one thing everyone can agree on: Kyle’s completely unorthodox methods are the only thing standing between Eldoria and the Demon King. As Kyle’s madness leads to unexpected victories and ever-more bizarre encounters, the kingdom starts to realize that maybe—just maybe—his chaos is exactly what they need. But with the Demon King’s forces growing stronger, Kyle may be the kingdom's last, ridiculous hope for survival. Can a Florida man with no magic save a kingdom that’s way out of his league? If he can survive long enough to figure out what’s going on, he just might. It’s a wild ride filled with absurd humor, epic battles, and the most unorthodox hero the world has ever known.

Now, she must move forward, leaving her bloody past behind and embracing this second chance at a peaceful life. However, things won’t be that simple. . . . This is my first time writing, and I’m very open to criticism—just please be gentle. English is not my first language, so keep that in mind!
