Naruto: The Ghost in the Rain

CultSlayer
Kagerō was never meant to survive. Born into a cold, sterile ward in Amegakure, he awoke with nothing. No powerful clan, no bloodline limit, no destined fate. His first memories were of pain, his veins burning with an unknown poison, his chakra corrosive and broken beyond repair. He was an experiment, a failure discarded in the shadows of a war-torn village. But failure is only final when you accept it. With nothing but his mind, Kagerō refuses to become another forgotten corpse in the rain. Where others rely on fate, he relies on science, study, and relentless ingenuity. He dissects jutsu, rewrites chakra principles, and builds his power from the ground up, not through shortcuts or gifts, but through sheer, brutal intelligence. As the Third Shinobi War rages, he walks a fine line between survival and discovery. If power can be inherited, it can also be engineered. Kagerō was born with nothing. But if he has his way, he will leave his mark on history, not as a chosen warrior, not as a legend, but as the shinobi who built his own power from nothing. No cheats. No fate. Just skill, intellect, and the will to rise.

Echoes of the Unknown - Cthulhu Collection

"Echoes of the Unknown" is a collection of horror short stories inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These tales unravel cosmic horrors that awaken mankind's deepest fears of the incomprehensible forces beyond our understanding of the world. Each story follows individuals caught in encounters with unseen entities and ancient symbols that open doors to terror and destruction. From researchers exploring dangerous ruins to ordinary people unknowingly uncovering hidden truths, the protagonists are trapped in unsolvable mysteries and face horrors far beyond their control. Strange occurrences and recurring nightmares signal the approach of an unstoppable cosmic threat. With a tense atmosphere, "Echoes of the Unknown" delves into humanity's helplessness in the vast emptiness of the universe, forcing us to confront the reality that we are but a small part of something far larger and darker. This collection is a tribute to the themes of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly his exploration of the fear of the unknowable and humanity's powerless position in a vast, mysterious cosmos. Many names, concepts, and elements in these stories are directly inspired by Lovecraft’s work, and I wish to acknowledge his profound influence. This collection is not intended to infringe upon his legacy but to pay homage to the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, with all due respect. Any similarities to his original works are intentional and are made in the spirit of tribute and admiration...
