Bound by Essence

JoLuLu
In a world where humans absorb monster powers—Essences—into their souls, strength is earned through blood and battle. Each person can carry up to five powers, but only the strong live long enough to fill them. Liam, a quiet boy from the peaceful village of Tharn’s Hollow, was never meant for greatness. That changed the night the sky cracked open and an ancient S-class monster fell from the stars. When the villagers struck it down, Liam approached the dying creature—and in that moment, it looked at him. Saw him. Chose him. The creature’s Essence, Eye of the Abyss, fused with Liam’s soul. Years later, Liam is nineteen and ready to leave his village to become a Hunter—one of the brave few who fight back against the rising tide of monsters threatening the world. But his path won’t be simple. His power is strange, feared, and far more dangerous than he understands. It shows him truths, exposes lies, and whispers things no human was meant to hear. As Liam joins the world of Hunters, he’ll discover that monsters aren’t the only things hiding in the dark—and some eyes were never meant to open.

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

LET IT ALL WORK OUT

Alright, so I don’t have a synopsis in mind—hell, not even a proper story. Just your average human desperate for attention, and what’s the best way to do that without showing my face? You guessed it: by doing this. Anyway, this is a Naruto fanfiction. It’ll probably be ass, but hey, I’m hoping it’s at least tolerable—for both our sakes. Enjoy…. Here is a structured synopsis. I think I have a stable plotline,Maybe. But I think a well structured Fanfic should have a better Synopsis. "Reincarnation was supposed to be his second chance. The System had other plans." When Kenshin Yogen awakens in the Hidden Leaf Village, he realizes two things: he has been reborn into the world of Naruto, and his survival hinges on a merciless, achievement-based power system that rewards progress with randomized gifts—some game-changing, others laughably mundane. Graduating as a Genin Corps member with no team or mentor, Kenshin must navigate the brutal hierarchy of shinobi life alone. His only advantages are his sharp intellect, an Otsutsuki bloodline granted by the System, and the grim understanding of the tragedies yet to come. But power in this world is never free. Every achievement—whether mastering a jutsu, impressing a future legend, or simply surviving—comes with a roll of the gacha’s dice. A Shadow Clone Technique might elevate him to elite status. A pitcher of endless water might leave him questioning his worth. And as his strength grows, so too does the scrutiny of Konoha’s shadows—from the Hokage’s quiet suspicion to the Akatsuki’s inevitable interest. Kenshin’s path is clear: adapt, outthink, and endure. The System does not care if he is ready. The System only demands progress. But in a world of jinchūriki, rogue S-rank ninja, and ancient bloodline conspiracies… is progress enough?
