Samurai Shiro

Touma Kisaragi had it all figured out: a quiet life, zero stress, and endless video games. But his childhood friend had other plans. Dragged into Seisen Academy-a prestigious institution where students awaken cosmic fragments called "Astra Core"-Touma finds himself surrounded by overpowered girls, elite combat divisions, and high-tech gadgets. Oh, and he's the only one with no powers. Now stuck between a silver-haired indifferent senpai, a hyper martial artist, a theatrical idol, and a sword-wielding tsundere samurai, Touma just wants to make it through each day... ...without confessing anything, dying in a sparring match, or being corrected by his snarky smart-lens AI every five minutes. Welcome to Seisen. May the odds never be in your favor.

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe. So never expect anything to work in the same way as something that you are already familiar with, because chances are very high that it won't be the same at all. (Yes, I just blatantly flipped the script.)

In a world where the age of the samurai is fading and the shadows of corruption grow, Dikun Silver is born into a legacy of honor and discipline. Raised under the stern guidance of his father, a respected samurai, Dikun is trained in the art of the sword from a young age. Though he lacks overwhelming strength, his mind is his greatest weapon — sharp, calculating, and endlessly curious. He absorbs knowledge like a sponge, mastering not only the way of the blade but also the subtle intricacies of strategy and leadership. But when tragedy strikes and his father falls in battle, Dikun is left without title or standing. Cast adrift in a world ruled not by honor but by ambition, he ventures into the lawless depths of the city of Edo. There, the Yakuza reign — men of cunning and ruthlessness, bound by loyalty yet consumed by power. Rather than flee from the shadows, Dikun embraces them. He moves through the underworld with calculated precision, learning the ways of the Yakuza while concealing his true intent. From the ground up, he builds his own clan — one not governed by senseless brutality but by discipline, loyalty, and strategy. With each calculated move, Dikun rises, conquering rival clans and solidifying his place in the unforgiving world of organized crime. Yet power comes at a cost. As the Silent Dragon, Dikun will face treachery, betrayal, and bloodshed. Enemies will rise, alliances will crumble, and the weight of his ambition will threaten to consume him. Torn between the teachings of his father and the brutal reality of the underworld, Dikun must decide — will he remain a man of honor, or will the shadows claim him? And when love enters his path, forcing him to question everything, the choice becomes even more perilous. In this slow-paced, immersive journey of power and ambition, "Rise of the Silent Dragon" weaves a tale of strategy, strength, and sacrifice. Dikun Silver's path will not be one of glory, but of survival. For in the world of the Yakuza, the only law that matters is the one written in blood. The dragon has awakened. And the world will tremble.

When empires fall and realms shatter, all that remains are the echoes of a once-glorious past. Samurai, yokai, and entities beyond comprehension are locked in an endless struggle, where the lines between life and death, honor and ruin, have long since faded. Amidst the ruins, a lone warrior walks a path veiled in mystery. Akayama—a force neither bound by morality nor restrained by fate—moves like a storm, threatening the balance of power that has endured for centuries. But this world is more than just a battlefield. It is a labyrinth of secrets, where truth dissolves into myth, and legends bleed into reality. As everything crumbles, only one question lingers across the ages: who is truly worthy to rule this dying world? —

In this era of power and progress, Shiro Kurogane is an ordinary teenager, and in a world where the extraordinary is the norm, that makes him an outcast in a place where strength is everything. Every day at school is a struggle, every glance a humiliation. His life, empty and aimless, revolves around a painful memory: the murder of his mother. She sacrificed her life to save him, and since then, Shiro has lived in the shadows of guilt and helplessness. But everything changes one day when, amidst a brutal beating, the taunts about his mother’s memory make something snap inside him, awakening a fury so fierce that his body responds in a way he never imagined. He tries to defend himself, but his lack of power leaves him on the verge of death. On the edge of life and death, Shiro awakens his true nature: pyrokinesis, the ability to control and unleash fire at will. With this newfound power, Shiro vows to avenge his mother's death, hunting down those who took away the only thing he loved. As he descends into darkness, Shiro must decide if vengeance is the only thing that defines him or if there’s something else worth fighting for. But in a world where everyone seems to have powers greater than his own, mastering his flames won’t be enough. The fire burning within him could be his greatest ally… or his worst enemy.

Apollo Musashi, the main character is a hard worker. Training each day to get stronger and stronger. He has aspirations of being above everything and has the will to make it happen. With this story I dream of bringing back old Shounen and characters that are mean in just the right way. I've seen many new shows try to make their characters as nice as possible, and although I'm making my character nice, he going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm going to try to make the most realistic characters I can make within the confines of this verse. I watch most things nowadays realizing many of these character are just too unbelievably nice with no outbursts and I find that entirely unrealistic. No, I'm not going to have a harem for the main character, because that too I believe is entirely unrealistic from the real world. Without a further adue, I hope you like it.

As they navigate the dungeon’s shifting corridors, Stalin unveils a truth so profound and devastating that it threatens to rewrite everything she has ever known. With each step deeper, the world warps further. Shadows crawl in defiance of light. Echoes manifest before words are spoken. And something unseen—something unfathomable—is watching. As the walls of reason begin to collapse, Airi Valeria Nachtal must face the unthinkable: the magic she was trained to wield, the foundation of her understanding, may have been a lie all along.

"In Qiyuan, kissing is an act of mutual surrender. To ask for a kiss is to ask someone to be yours, while offering yourself in return. On that note, making love is a common practice and is regarded as deeply romantic." —Book 1 of Romances in Qiyuan— Haruki had no memories prior to his awakening. With only his black katana and his name to ground him in an identity, he lived through every encounter on pure instinct and a great deal of luck. But it wasn't until he locked eyes with Lanling, those sky-blue orbs gazing at him with the stillness of a lake, that he believed his luck had finally peaked. Shamelessly, he integrated into General Lanling Cheng's army, finding the man even more pleasing to his eyes the longer he watched over him. But as Haruki learned more about his new idol, he began to realize just how deep their connection ran, how precious the memories stolen from him were, and how deeply he loved this man.

But to Haruki, the most important thing was meeting and shamelessly flirting with the general, so he couldn’t care less. Besides, Lanling had told him not to remember, and who was he to disobey his future wife? —Volume 2 [51-145] Haruki and his friends find themselves in a typical isekai setting!

During the Sengoku period, one of the most brutal times in Japanese history, Takayama Ukon, a young and devout Christian samurai, found himself forced to serve under Oda Nobunaga, a man despised by Ukon's father, Soemon. This allegiance, born out of the necessity for survival amid the constant conflicts, would lead Ukon down a path where, over the years, he would find himself against those he once served and helped, while standing alongside those he had killed and helped to kill—men who shared his faith. As Ukon's purpose and cause were redefined, he came to understand the path he must follow. He realized that his survival had become a weapon in the fight for the survival of those who sought his death and those who sought his help. If necessary, there would be war, blood, and tears.
