A smug smile appeared on her step sister's lips when she finally revealed she was actually pregnant with her mate's child. Her father's futile attempt to apologize, for ignoring her all this time, because he had his own reasons and asked her to understand. A plea of forgiveness from her mate as he begged her not to reject him, claiming it was just a stupid mistake that he shouldn't have made. And to top it off, a cursed alpha from the north, to whom her step sister was actually promised, is here to collect his debt, so she has to take her place as the sacrifice now. Darn!

When the world ends, it doesn't end with a bang or a whimper—it ends with betrayal. In a desolate future where humanity struggles against monstrous creatures and corrupted factions, survival isn't just about living another day; it's about avenging the past. Ethan Blackwood, a brilliant military strategist, once fought to save humanity. But when the apocalypse came, it wasn’t just the Nightwalkers—mutated horrors that haunt the night—that tore the world apart. It was the betrayal from within. Framed and left for dead by those he trusted most, Ethan emerged from the darkness not just alive, but reborn with a power that defies explanation. Hardened by treachery, his heart grows colder, his resolve sharper. Ethan's new mission isn't just survival—it's retribution. In this new world, trust is a rarity and betrayal is the norm. Ethan finds an unlikely ally in Lily Everett, a resourceful survivor with secrets of her own. Together, they navigate the ruins of civilization, battling not only the Nightwalkers but also the ruthless Ascendants—a faction of enhanced humans who seek to dominate the remnants of humanity with an iron fist. As Ethan’s power grows, so does his cynicism. Every encounter, every betrayal fuels his vindictive quest. Yet, within him lies a flicker of the man he once was—a strategist who fought for the greater good. This flicker is both his greatest strength and his deepest torment, as he grapples with the fine line between justice and vengeance. Their journey takes them to the heart of darkness—confronting Dr. Marcus Kane, a scientist whose experiments unleashed the apocalypse. Kane holds the key to both Ethan’s newfound powers and the catastrophic events that shattered the world. Ethan’s pursuit of Kane unravels a labyrinth of lies, forcing him to confront his own demons and the true nature of his abilities. In a world where every shadow hides a threat and every ally could be a traitor, Ethan must decide what kind of man he will become. Will he be the savior the world needs or the executioner it deserves? As he stands on the precipice of redemption or ruin, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. \

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.***Warning:1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you)2. No harem (probably no romance either)3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though)4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin.5. MC is a careful person, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice.6. I haven't read (nor will be reading) Baruto. So Baruto plotline won't be considered much in here.What to expect:1. Smart and consistent MC2. Lots of training3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage4. A lot of original arcs.5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes\/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it).Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's characters (except the original characters I create). The image used in the cover isn't mine and belongs to R. JP.S. It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward.Show More

I read a few comments from Chinese readers that compared this novel with Lord of Mysteries because of similar elements: Lovecraftian, western fantasy, first industrial revolution, and steampunk. However, I have yet to finish reading Lord of Mysteries to do any actual comparison, but I do think those who have enjoyed that novel would enjoy this as well. Also, the author of LotM, Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, also did a shout-out for this novel, so I guess he approves of it too?
