The Kingmaker System

AnimeVerseGirl
"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Beautiful Peerless Green Beast of Konoha!

Everyone knows Rock Lee is a failure. His classmates know it. His rivals know it. The genius Hyuga prodigy who's beaten him three thousand times knows it best of all. Lee can't mold chakra into jutsu, can't cast a genjutsu to save his life, and has no bloodline worth mentioning. In the Hidden Leaf Village, that makes him a joke. What nobody knows — not even Lee himself — is that something is watching. Every punch thrown, every bone broken and reknit, every technique drilled ten thousand times is being measured, quantified, rewarded. A silent system tracks his proficiency in ways he'll never see, turning his relentless effort into actual visible growth that shouldn't be possible for someone with zero talent. Lee doesn't know why the hospital anatomy books clicked so fast, or why his body recovers stronger after every beating, or why his chakra control is developing in directions that would stun a medic-nin. He just thinks he's working hard. He has no idea how right he is. This is the story of the boy they called a failure — told from the long, patient, bloody road to proving every last one of them wrong. In a shinobi world darker and more unforgiving than canon ever showed, Rock Lee is building something no one sees coming. And the Proficiency System making sure his efforts are never wasted. It doesn't exist. Not as far as he knows. Not as far as anyone ever will.

Reencarnado em DXD com sistema Naruto

Arthur was only 25 years old when he died in the stupidest way imaginable: trying to save a girl from being hit by a car. The problem? She wasn't actually going to be hit. The driver had already started braking. After discovering that he had died completely for nothing, Arthur finds himself standing before the God of Reincarnation, who can't stop laughing at his stupidity. But instead of leaving Arthur with nothing, the god decides to give him a second chance at life. Unfortunately, that second life will take place in a world far more dangerous than Arthur could have imagined: High School DxD. A world filled with demons, angels, fallen angels, gods, dragons, monsters, and beings powerful enough to destroy entire worlds. To help Arthur survive, the god gives him something extraordinary: a System based on another anime universe. Arthur spins the roulette. Naruto. Bleach. One Piece. Jujutsu Kaisen. Fate. Overlord. Arifureta... And, to Arthur's absolute horror, Boku no Pico. For a few terrifying seconds, it looks like his second life is about to become a nightmare. But fate—or perhaps sheer luck—intervenes. The roulette stops on Naruto. Now Arthur possesses a Shinobi System capable of granting him access to chakra, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, fūinjutsu, the five basic chakra natures, Yin, Yang, Yin–Yang Release, and eventually multiple Kekkei Genkai. But power doesn't come for free. Arthur must train, fight, complete missions, and earn rewards based on their difficulty, ranging from D-Rank to S-Rank. His journey begins as a simple Genin. Then comes Chūnin. Jōnin. Elite Jōnin. Kage. Super-Kage. And perhaps, one day, the legendary Six Paths level. A level where Arthur could become a planetary-scale existence—one of the most dangerous beings in the entire DxD world. Between battles, adventures, romance, missions, new abilities, and countless dangerous encounters, Arthur will discover that his second life is anything but peaceful. He died like an idiot. Now he has to prove that he can become a legend. A second life. A powerful system. Infinite possibilities. And it all began with a roulette that almost stopped on the worst possible world.
