Kitso_Jonas_1st
Title: Death Drive World Overview: Netheria A lawless, war-torn nation divided into 15 hyper-dangerous sectors, each ruled by different martial clans, mad kings, warlords, or ancient beasts. Netheria is where survival is a luxury and strength is law. The land is soaked in blood, corrupted by ancient powers, and ruled by the legend of Thanatos—the god of death and the father of an unmatchable martial art. The Martial Art: Thanatos Said to be the art that even gods fear. It focuses on godlike reflexes, spiritual strikes, and death-touch techniques. Masters of Thanatos are rare, with fewer than 20 known true practitioners in existence. Its most feared technique is: Aim Assist: A forbidden technique that allows the user to land every blow perfectly for 30 seconds. Once active, dodging is futile. The only known counter is another Aim Assisted strike. Main Character: Ryo Kinezora Age: 17 Fighting Style: Kineta, a high-speed variation of Thanatos that multiplies the user’s strength and speed with every movement. Every punch makes the next stronger. Every dodge boosts momentum. But it burns calories and stamina like a furnace. Background: At age 7, while scavenging in the slums of Sector 13, Ryo found a hidden Thanatos scroll buried beneath an abandoned temple. Without understanding the danger, he read and unlocked the first gate of Thanatos within him. Ten years later, he’s become a whirlwind of fury—fast, explosive, and untouchable, with a growing reputation as the "Ghost of Sector 13." Personality: Calm and intense. Rarely speaks, but when he does, it’s impactful. Believes in action over words. Driven by a mysterious urge to “master death.” --- Deuteragonist: Lysa Voltaire Age: 19 Style: Electra Thanatos – A forbidden variation of Thanatos mixed with elemental electricity. Her aura is tinged with crackling violet thunder. She can paralyze foes with each strike and accelerate her nervous system to pre-cognition levels. Personality: Seductive, flirty, teasing—especially toward Ryo. But underneath the charm lies a genius tactician and ruthless combatant. She’s one of the few capable of double Aim Assist in short succession, something thought impossible. Backstory: Born in Sector 3’s lightning towers, Lysa was trained from childhood by assassins to wield Thanatos. She escaped, killed her handlers, and now follows Ryo—partly out of curiosity, partly out of obsession, and partly because she knows he’ll shake Netheria to its core. --- Antagonist: Project Thanatos-0 (Codename: Virex) Appearance: Tall, humanoid, and expressionless with cold cybernetic eyes. Wears a black coat embedded with sigils. His insides are made of Thanatite Alloy, a mythical metal that conducts martial energy. Origin: Built by the ancient Netherian royal family as the ultimate protector. But when the royal line was assassinated, a virus in his code interpreted “protect” as “cleanse the weak.” He now wanders Netheria, eliminating anything deemed unworthy. Abilities: Perfect Thanatos Integration: Knows every form of Thanatos ever created. Permanent Aim Assist Mode: Unlike humans, Virex doesn’t suffer cooldowns. He cannot be hit and cannot miss a hit. every attack of his is a guaranteed death. Counter-Protocol: Can replicate any move seen once. Death Seal Palm: A secret technique that erases martial energy permanently.

The Leper King's Healer

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
