The Masked Virtuoso

Ever since Liam was a kid, he always had a dream, where he was in a fantasy world, living a different life. Whenever he died in the dream, he would wake up in the real world. It became so normal for him that he would often look forward to sleeping to live a different life for the night. However, one time, he died and didn’t wake up in the real world. “This can’t be happening! If I miss the evaluation day, I won’t be able to join any guild and start my hero journey! I must die!” That's when a screen appeared in front of his eyes. [If you wish to return, you must finish the quests!] --- "What?! I can buy anything from the XP store and become unrivaled in both worlds?!"

"Elysia, why are you always subtly asking about how Michael's doing?" "Oh? Do I? Maybe it's because he was the only Herrscher in our era who fought for humanity! He was both the First Herrscher and a human named Michael. Yes! That's definitely it!" Facing Mei's question, Ellie just offered a faint smile. "What about Mobius?" "Tch!" The green-haired little girl snorted dismissively, turning her head away. "Who else?" Mei covered her face. "Pardo?" "W-w-what! Kalpas is clearly very concerned about Boss Michael too!" "Get lost!" "Kevin?" "It's not entirely what you think. He has a much more important meaning to us—a family member we promised to walk towards the future with." ----- True Love Warrior Protagonist, Not very Mental stable Protagonist, Pessimistic Protagonist, Anti-Hero Protagonist, Crybaby Protagonist, Michael x Elysia. Oh, Michael... Don't come here; I'm just writing nonsense.

Fifty years after the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy finds itself in a fragile state of recovery. Scarred by the Yuuzhan Vong War and Darth Caedus’s reign, countless worlds and individuals struggle to rebuild from decades of devastation. Amid the fractured alliances of the reformed New Republic, the Imperial Remnants, and independent coalitions, the Jedi Order stands as a beacon of hope. On Yavin 4, the Jedi Temple serves as a sanctuary for Force-sensitive children, offering them a chance to heal and find purpose. Among the new arrivals is Kael Varo, formerly Kael Valtherion, a boy who abandoned his Imperial noble heritage to embrace the path of the Jedi. Alongside him is Vila Saresh, a twi'lek freed from slavery, haunted by her past but determined to find a brighter future. As these Padawans confront their own traumas, they uncover the lingering echoes of ancient threats: Sith artifacts, Yuuzhan Vong technology, and the ideological scars left by Darth Caedus, still twisting others, even after his death. Guided by the wisdom of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, the young Jedi must learn that being a Jedi is not merely about mastering the Force but about finding unity and courage in a galaxy still divided. ------ Author's notes: Hey-ho people! Welcome to my Star Wars fanfiction, which is told from a first-person point of view. For a bit of background information and what to expect, you must know a few things about me: My first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS, so I am not a newcomer to the setting. I was a child when there was only the trilogy and a teen when the prequels happened. I grew up reading the Expanded Universe and with the stories and exploits of Luke. This story of mine will take place in 50 ABY, right after the Expanded Universe mostly stopped producing stories. Writing it, anything that happened after the Disney acquisition is going to be ignored. This even includes the Mandalorian series because no matter how good the first season was, it was built on a foundation made out of sand. Proof: Book of Boba Fett and the third season. I'll try my very best to stay true to the original vision of what made Star Wars so captivating. Expect weekly chapters!

"They only call me mad because they're unable to comprehend me." After recovering from trauma, Dan was just about to reconnect with the world when some cursed force yanked him into another world without warning. He became, Jules Evanava, a similarly traumatized minor character from the novel, Aftermath of Destroyed Worlds. Jules was now the heir to the strongest clan in the world, thanks to their esteemed, world-balance-altering artifact—but there were thorny strings attached. On the same day he arrived, he was thrown into a mission meant to end with his death. Yet he survived, seizing the Archangel of War’s power in a gamble with death—high risk, higher reward. Blood Manipulation, the Crimson Sigil, War Forged—a sentient sword—and Bloodlust Control were just the beginning. There was more to come. So much more. And with each new power and growth, something in him cracked. Sanity frayed, slowly but surely, as Jules danced closer to the edge of madness. Now, with enemies in his own clan and chaos rising across multiple lands—and even space—Jules must navigate a brutal world on the edge of collapse. Armed with the novel's knowledge and his growing abilities, Jules was going to survive it all—even if he had to become the very madness they struggled to understand.

Now, with strength earned through pain, and pride forged through blood, he’s no longer just a survivor. He’s the next Dragon Heir. A former slave. A future legend.

In suffering, he stood. In silence, he endured. Not by choice—but by fate. Torn from the light, he was cast into a world where pain breathes, where hope dies slowly beneath a shadowed sky where beasts lurk. Each step forward is a battle. Each breath, a rebellion. And yet… he walks on. This is not a tale of heroes. Not a quest for glory. This is the story of a boy drowning in misery, his mind unraveling to the echoes of screams in the dark. With a cursed blade as his only defiance,he carves survival through a land unbound by time, each relic a fragile thread to a buried vow. No gods will save him. No prophecy will guide him. Only the question remains: Will he escape this torment— or seize the strings of his own fate? So let me be clear— This story is raw. Unforgiving. Too real. As the author, I warn you: Read at your own risk. Some tales aren’t meant to comfort. They remind us… what it means to survive.
