Winds Of War

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

Fists meets Fist. Claw meets Claw. Fangs meet Fangs. Talons meets Talons. Blood meets Blood. Loyalty meets Strength. Strength meets Battle. Battle meets End. End meets Immortalization. That is the creed of the species known as the Shapers. A warmonger like race that don't care about anything other than combat and swearing loyalty to those who are stronger than them. They roam the lands, turning them into nothing more than a war zone filled with blood and guts. For that is all they live for, just battle and absolute loyalty to the strong. That is how they live and will always live. Even if one of them had the mind and perspective of a different species. For in the end, they too will become a member of the Shapers race and join their endless battle to their grand finale. Forever immortalized and forever respected.

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.

He received a genetic score of 28... completely disqualifying him from applying to military college! He helped deliver a friend's love letter... and fell into a lake becoming infamous for dying for love! His very first gift... warped him into a brutal training simulation! However he perserved through all these trials! Our Dear Student Wang Zheng has finally started his lucky(?) university life! This is the song of a blood boiling and exciting storm! The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.

Why am I unable to inflict even the slightest injury on him, even using my most powerful spells? Why must I lose to someone I could have killed with a mere murderous intent not long ago? His new calling will be to instill fear and despair in the hearts of his enemies.

Sar'tara is a huntress of a forest watched over by her mother, the Forest Deity.

A man who parades himself as the herald of justice and is dead set on burning the forest down… Duke Kalin of the Xenarian Kingdom watches over his nation's borders. He has always left alone the mysterious and deadly forest that lies at the edge of his jurisdiction. But when the warlord encroaches on his land he's forced to act, leaving Xenaria's borders unwatched and open to invasion from another opportunistic neighboring nation… Two people, ignorant of each other's existence, will meet to kick start an epic!

"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!”
