Peter Parker Abused Orphan

The Shadowbound Chronicles

### **Synopsis: The Shadowbound Chronicles** In the quiet village of Eldermoor, seventeen-year-old Kael Ardyn yearns for adventure beyond the mundane life of farming and village chores. His wish is granted in an unexpected and perilous way when he is drawn into the mysterious Whispering Woods by a haunting melody. There, he encounters a shadowy figure who reveals that Kael has been chosen by the enigmatic force known as the Shadowbound to wield the power of darkness and prevent an ancient evil from destroying the world. Tasked with finding the legendary Shards of Lumina—three powerful artifacts capable of sealing away the malevolent Void King—Kael embarks on a journey across treacherous landscapes and through deadly trials. Along the way, he discovers his latent ability to manipulate shadows, using them as both weapon and shield. As Kael grows stronger, he learns that the shards are hidden in dangerous locations guarded by fearsome creatures: the Ruins of Solara, the Abyssal Caverns, and the Skyward Spire. Kael’s quest brings him allies, including Lira, a cunning rogue with her own secrets, and pits him against formidable foes such as Malrik, a corrupted knight commanding an army of shadow-wielding soldiers. Each shard comes at great personal cost, testing Kael’s courage, resolve, and morality. With every victory, Kael inches closer to confronting the Void King, whose return threatens to plunge the world into eternal darkness. The final battle atop the Skyward Spire pushes Kael to his limits. Harnessing the combined might of the shards, he unleashes a blinding surge of light to banish the Void King back beyond the Veil. However, the shards are consumed in the process, leaving Kael drained but victorious. Though the immediate threat is vanquished, Kael knows the world remains fragile—and that his journey as the Shadowbound may only be beginning. A tale of self-discovery, sacrifice, and the enduring struggle between light and darkness, *The Shadowbound Chronicles* follows Kael’s transformation from an ordinary farm boy into a reluctant hero destined to shape the fate of the world.

Reincarnated as an Orphaned Dragon!

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story. Cover is AI generated (Except for the title)

The System that I abused

Heh... Looks like I'm finally dead. My streak has ended with one. last. kill. You know, I just want to come back to life. I want to be good this time. I never knew the benefits of being a good guy. I want to feel the pleasure, the sincere goodness of what it feels like to be liked by the people around you. Hah... All I ever had were my goons who followed whatever order I gave them. They didn't like me. They were scared of me. At least I gave it my all, and they respected me, not for personality or whatever. More like, the sheer terror of what I'm capable of. Now, I'm dead. They'll just take over my spot and have fun for once. Now I can rest in complete silence as the world starts to crumble, piece by piece... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ John Hill. A world-class criminal, who has been on the run since the age of 11. His first heinous act was stealing some money out of a cash register. Of course, he was caught. Being the simple 11 years old he was, he got let go. John talked with his parents about how stealing was bad and that you could go to jail. All those words, in John's mind, were all funny words. He didn't care if he went to jail, he didn't care if it was bad. All he wanted to do was to have some fun. So... He began stealing again. This time, to not get caught, he developed tactics. He wrote down specific times when a guard or cashier went off duty. He kept track of his victims and knew when to strike. This made him smarter than the average human being. Though he didn't go to school, he was self-taught with books he stole from the library. He was infamous. Everyone around the world knew who he was and they were scared. Someone at the age of 11 shouldn't know how to rob banks, or break into safes, or learn how to drive a car? Then at the age of 26, we started his own gang of hooligans. They robbed banks, toppled many famous industries, and had their own private drug company that was known world-wide by only the underground. And on that day, at the famous new Titanos Bank, is where it all went down... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first novel and I hope you guys ( the audience ) enjoy it. If you don't find it appealing, do tell me. I will do anything in my skills to up the story, keeping it nice and firm, while making it very interesting for all those alike. If you enjoy it, please do think about leaving reviews, voting, or sharing it to others. I appreciate those who consider reading this novel, and I hope to see you all till the very end. - Author
