MHA: I Became Arthur Rimbaud

John T. Vance was not a hero. He was a corrupt mayor, a former black ops soldier, a liar in a suit, a smiling predator who understood that justice was only real when someone powerful needed it to be. After being framed, betrayed, exposed, shot, blown apart and executed in front of his own city, John expected hell. Instead, he woke up bleeding. Reborn inside Japan as Arthur Rimbaud, the Duke of Britannia, John finds himself trapped inside the dying body of a foreign noble standing at the edge of memory, betrayal, and war in a world where children are judged by their blood, their quirks, their usefulness and how easily they can be controlled. Heroes smile for cameras. Villains rot in shadows. Nobles hide monsters behind titles. Governments bury secrets behind flags. Society worships power while pretending it believes in peace. And Arthur possesses an ability carrying the most beautiful curse of all. Illuminations. A power with a poetic name. A power that sounds like light. A power that may prove territory only belongs to the man strong enough to separate it from the world. Now surrounded by foreign politics, military secrets, quirk supremacy, fake heroes, hidden organizations, and enemies who already tried to erase Arthur Rimbaud before he could become something worse, John must decide what kind of monster survives in a world like this. Unfortunately for everyone, John T. Vance already knows the answer. (Arthur’s POV) "Let’s start with you." Said Arthur with a bloody smile. ----------------------------------------- WARNING WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⚠️ Content Warning: Throughout this story, there are scenes involving strong language, physical and emotional abuse, sexual situations, violence, and other mature or disturbing themes.

A song of ice and fire: Winter has arrived

In a universe where House Stark's southern ambitions ended in tragedy, the North found its true leader in Arawyn Stark. Born of the early romance between Brandon Stark and Barbrey Ryswell, Arawyn is the reincarnation of a soul that traded the details of the original plot for the absolute pinnacle of First Men magic. Mastering supreme Greenseeing, Warg abilities, and the use of ancient runes, he ascends the Northern throne at just six years of age. Upon declaring Northern independence at the onset of Robert's Rebellion, Arawyn ignites an industrial and magical revolution. Under his command, the North transforms from a desolate land into a self-sustaining, wealthy, and militarily invincible Runic Empire. With a standing army clad in enchanted armor, swift ships protected by magical shields, and runic cannons that fire explosive stones, the North ruthlessly subjugates its enemies. Through a complex web of strategic marriages, the preservation of Rhaegar Targaryen's legitimate lineage, and the mystical preparation of his cousins, Arawyn shapes the world to confront the true threat retained in his fragmented memories: the awakening of Dragons and an apocalyptic Long Night. This is a rewrite of a previously written story, featuring major changes—such as power levels and the timeline—compared to the original. A few notes: I am not a professional writer (nor do I claim to be), I don't make any money from this, and I write purely as a hobby. Yes, the story is written with the help of AI. That’s about it. P.S.: I’ve already created the outlines for practically every chapter; I just need to write and expand on them, so I know where the story is headed. If you're interested, I can post the outlines as a supplementary chapter.

Global Lords: Building the Strongest Civilization with SSS Rank Talent

"I am the rot in your foundation. I will crawl back from hell and bury this world." Those were Red’s final words as his classmates watched him dissolve. They stole his life force to fuel their own ascensions, becoming Paladins, Sages, and Kings. They threw his empty husk into the Abyss, satisfied the 'Terrorist's Son' was finally gone. But death was not the end. While his body lay broken in the abyss, his soul drifted to the sanctuary of a Forgotten God. Awakening the forbidden SSS-Rank Talent [Exponential Divinity - 100x Growth], Red realizes that in this world, he doesn't need heroes, he needs monsters. From the chitin of hyper-evolved insects to dragons, from eldritch horrors to the nightmares sleeping in the dark, he begins to construct a civilization that defies the natural order. Under his hand, the weak do not just survive, they evolve into calamities. The Heroes are leveling up in their golden towers. The Gods are watching from their thrones. But in the shadows, Red’s Strongest Civilization is already preparing for war. [Betrayed and sacrificed, I awakened an SSS-Rank Talent. While others struggle to build a village, my civilization grows 100x faster.] Tags- #Kingdom Building #Civilization #Lit-RPG #Wars #Beast Taming #Game #Simulation #Overpowered #Gobal Lords #Level up #Weak to Strong #Revenge #Evolution === Join the discord server for maps, and character illustrations!

GAME OF THRONES: AEGON THE AVENGER

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification. It is intended for mature readers interested in political strategy, historical speculation, and philosophical conflict. Not recommended for those seeking light entertainment. Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

Game of Thrones: The Legend of Jon Arctic – ASOIAF/GOT GOT

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!
