Born Again, Broke and Beautiful

Alma was filthy rich. Not just “two-holiday-homes” rich — we’re talking private chefs, security guards, family with political ties, the whole luxury package. But none of it mattered. Because Alma was also... hideous. Unattractive in the kind of way people don’t even joke about. She had no friends, no presence, no value to her ultra-conservative family beyond “quietly stay out of the photos.” She didn’t work, didn’t go out, didn’t even get to be mean like the rich girls in dramas. She was just… there. Forgotten in a golden cage. Then one day, she died. And woke up in someone else's body — seventeen years old, absolutely stunning… and dirt poor. No family. No bank account. No backstory. Just a ratty apartment, a school uniform two sizes too tight, and a mysterious note telling her to attend an elite high school immediately. So she does. And this time, she’s not wasting the opportunity. Her goal is simple: Get rich again. With this face? She plans to enjoy every cent of it. But the school she lands in is brutal — full of rich heirs, geniuses, cold-blooded perfectionists and social rules no one bothers to explain. They don’t know who she is. And if they did? They’d make sure she never climbed past the first step. But Nina — that’s what she calls herself now — didn’t come back from the dead to stay at the bottom. She’s smart. She’s gorgeous. She’s faking it. And she’s about to start playing their game better than they ever expected.

The Cycle of Hatred: A Naruto Insert

[A Naruto Self-Insert as Naruto Uzumaki] They say you should dig two graves if you want to go looking for revenge... so, it's a good thing I've already died once because the delusional one-eyed fuck that railroaded my life is going six feet under, one way or another. You see, this is what happens when an ordinary guy is reborn as a not-so-ordinary child and is forced to shoulder the world’s burden for his survival. Luckily for me, saving the world and revenge are just two sides of the same fucked up coin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT TO EXPECT: - Meaningful growth that feels realistic, fleshed out, and above all: contributes to the narrative. There'll be no gaining strength just for the cool factor even if the strength Naruto gains can be cool. - A slow-paced story—it's just a quirk of my writing. I enjoy fleshing out characters, exploring their minds, and attaching them to readers, so that when it comes to the conflict and consequences, I can deliver the maximum emotional effect. But I understand it can be frustrating sometimes. I've been told my story is one better binge-read in the earlier stages. - Slight tweaking of the power system & world. Full disclosure: some of my changes to the world are inspired by or are either directly taken from "Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve" by FictionOnlyReader. The reason is that it's something that's come up in our discussions regarding worldbuilding in the first place. Not ALL changes, but a fair few. I'll try and keep the spirit of canon in mind as well. We are friends, I'm not a thief... at least, not a mean-spirited one anyway. - I'm ignoring things from Boruto because I want to separate this story as much as possible from the world-eating, planet-hopping, fuckwits that are the Otsutsuki. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/jzkdR72jTR -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PATREON: My Patreon is a bit weird: I’ve got 50 chapters worth of words written. You can reach it here: https://www.patreon.com/eternalyujin -------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE SCHEDULE: I’ll be updating 5 times a week come the 23/09/24. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Barring my OCs (Original Characters), I do not own any of the characters in this story nor do I own the rights to the ‘Naruto’ franchise. I am but a lowly fan, expressing his love for the stories that he grew up with.
