Pope Pius Ii Romantic

Born into shame and shadow, Rael Nightbane was the son of a slave girl—forced and discarded by the arrogant young master of the prestigious Nightbane Clan. Marked from birth as a stain on the clan’s honor, Rael endured a life of scorn and cruelty. On the sacred day of Talent Awakening, his humiliation was complete: the revered 12-ring column failed to shine even the faintest light for him. Power is everything in Rael’s world, and to be talentless is to be nothing. Branded as worthless, his existence became unbearable. But when his twisted stepbrothers conspired to end his life—casting him into a deadly river to be devoured by water beasts—fate intervened. At the river’s dark bottom, a mysterious black hole beckoned. As it tried to consume him, something ancient stirred within Rael’s bloodline. Instead of death, he found rebirth. The void awakened a power long buried in his veins. Dark matter surged into him, merging with his soul. From that abyss, Rael rose—no longer a powerless outcast, but a harbinger of vengeance, shrouded in shadows. His true inheritance had awakened, and it was darker—and more powerful—than anyone could have imagined. Now, as the Duke of Darkness, he returns not just to survive, but to dominate. Those who mocked him will beg for mercy. Those who hurt his mother will wish they’d never been born. And the Nightbane Clan? They will remember his name—for they are first in line to suffer his wrath.

The chosen one blessed by divine light. The holy leader who unites kingdoms and vanquishes evil. The sacred figure all darkness trembles before. That is what a Pope should be. But me? As someone thrust into papal robes with a mysterious system window glowing before my eyes, I had one clear thought. "Finally," I whispered, gripping the Scythe of Judgement. Did I just inherit the ultimate religious authority? Is this my chance to wield divine power and command respect? Absolutely. And that's exactly the problem, because being Pope means every faction wants to control or kill me. Demon Generals hunt me personally. Political schemes surround my every decision. Ancient prophecies mark me for cosmic battles. "Perfect," I muttered sarcastically. "Just what I always wanted—a target painted on my back," I laughed bitterly while dodging another assassination attempt. Curious why I'm not thrilled about divine power? I should mention the most crucial detail about papal authority in this world. The thing is... Popes don't retire peacefully. Every previous Pope died violently. If history taught me anything, it's that holy authority comes with a very short life expectancy. Ideally, I'd like to survive past my first month in office. Thanks for nothing, mysterious forces that put me here. Little did I know, survival was just the beginning...

Fanfiction of Ashdres. This is Part II

The State of the World after its destruction by a mysterious Explosion during World War II was not caused by a Nuclear Bomb or Biological Weapon. The Mysterious Bomb instantly transformed all living creatures into strange new entities called Mergers.

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed and transformed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic. But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world? Warning: The photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!

After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her.

Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Terra II, a world divided into seven vast plates, where endless deserts and black zones carve through the land. It is a place haunted by horrors from beyond existence and nightmares birthed from within. The Common Era, an age where the very idea of happiness has been left behind. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a wrong word, a fleeting gesture—can seal your fate before you even realize it. At the heart of this desolate world is ---, a woman whose life has been defined by loss. Her parents, ones she knew little of, were replaced by strangers in the aftermath of tragedy—only to lose them too. In a world so unrelenting, where trust is a fragile illusion and loyalty is a fleeting dream, how long can one endure before breaking? --- fights not because she wants to, but because there is no other choice. Every decision she makes chips away at what remains of her conscious, yet the alternative is worse: surrendering to the darkness that threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. Terra II offers no promises, only pain—but even in the face of an inevitable end, --- stands, battered and unyielding, daring to face the horrors and make her choice, if only to survive one more day.

Long ago, when hell split open, thousands of demonic beings crawled out. Pope Luthian II was terrified. He did not understand what had happened—but he knew something had to be done. With every ounce of faith, he cried out to the gods. To his absolute astonishment, they responded. Through their divine guidance, he founded the Order of the Severed Sun—an elite brotherhood of holy knights tasked with hunting down the creatures that had escaped from hell. But these knights were no ordinary warriors. They were granted power by the Sun God himself. In return, each knight had to offer something deeply personal as sacrifice—something they could never regain. The Order fought with everything they had. And in the end, they succeeded—sealing the gates of hell once more. Centuries passed, and the Order still stood. The gates remained closed, but the world was far from cleansed. Among the Order’s warriors was Reinhart the One-Armed, a famed knight who had sacrificed his limb for divine strength. During the cleansing of a remote village rumored to harbor a demon, Reinhart found something unexpected: a six-year-old boy. Reinhart made a decision. He would take the boy in. He would raise him. And he would train him... to become his successor.

Tomas Chavez, a Filipino high school student from Roxas, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines, died by Truck-kun and was reincarnated into a seemingly normal fantasy world with a new body and identity. He was known as Karolo Sala. That new world had some practical technologies while retaining its medieval and fantasy style. But settling down was not possible due to a war known as the Curse War, which was ongoing. That war is between the summoned 4 Horsemen, who were summoned by a shady organization known as the Order of the Deathcallers, and the humans. The same organization also brought death to those who, unfortunately, became their targets and victims. The world was in chaos, and Karolo was so unlucky after mistakenly settling down in a city known as Pâine Dela Větry, in the country called Revivir No Fern in the Central Territory. While in the middle of the war and fighting, Karolo got involved and was killed by two of the many Deathcallers, the siblings Dan and Vanda Ciercello. These two, who had a sad childhood, realized what they did to him and those who got involved in the fighting and decided to abandon their duties to the Order and save Karolo from death. However, the wounds proved to be too severe and deep for their healing magic to do the work. So, Dan decided to use a magical technique called Healing of Repentance. It is a rare technique that would heal any physical or mental ailments, but this will cost them one thing: their loyalty. This means that once that was being used, Dan and Vanda will be loyal to Karolo, probably literally for life. But Dan and Vanda will do anything to bring Karolo back to life. And…they did so, and Karolo was brought to life. Dan and Vanda then apologized to him and vowed and swore their loyalty to him to atone for their sins of bringing atrocities to humanity. And so, the three of them worked together to end the war to bring peace to the world again. And they did so, and the Curse War ended with the bad demons wiped out of existence and the Summoned 4 Horsemen returned to the Realm of the Fires. But the story of their new lives was just starting after the war had ended.
