Shotaro: journey of a hero that kept moving forward

"There was once a hero." All have heard that phrase at least once in their lives. Whispered by old men before firelight. Carved into stone beneath crumbled towers. Inscribed on the last pages of dying books. But more often than not, it was just a prelude— a sentence used to dress up myths, to clothe legends in something that sounded like truth. "There was once a hero who defeated the Demon King." "There was once a hero who slew the last of the skyborn dragons." .......... "There was once a hero who was thrown into the abyss... and kept climbing out of it." "There was once a hero who walked with tragedy tied around his waist like a blade." "There was once a hero who changed lives—not with miracles, but with mercy." Shotaro Mugyiwara. A name drowned in dust. A face erased by time. He wakes as a blank slate— somewhere in the shattered lands of Drakastradorn, known also as Aetheria. No memory of who he was. No sense of why he still breathes. Only silence. Only echoes. Only the wind screaming through ruins that remember him better than he remembers himself. This world is not kind. It is carved by Mantra, an energy not of magic, but of something older— from beyond space, beyond time— a power not meant for mortal tongues to name. The land bleeds war. The stars above are scarred. And in this stage of gods and monsters, drama and death... he awakens. ......... "He was always the hero." A child is born in Hokkaido, on the night of January 30, 2008. A birth that was never supposed to happen. From a womb never seeded. A life conjured, not conceived. The world shook the moment he took his first breath. Because something ancient had returned. Something the world had forgotten how to fear. --- "There was once a hero... who was a great diplomat." Who could shape armies not with swords, but with words. Who could bend even fate to a shared purpose. Shotaro Mugyiwara’s life was never normal. And it will never be. Even in a world where he remembers nothing— no comrades, no battles, no lovers, no scars— even with the past ripped from his veins... He walks. He endures. He refuses to kneel. Because the truth is simple. "There was once a hero..." "Who kept moving forward."

The Ancient Slaughterer

Book Title: " The Ancient Slaughterer" Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Military, Shonen Setting: The world of Euryn is a fractured land encased by colossal concentric Runestone Barriers, ancient magical walls created to protect humanity from the wrath of Ancients, godlike primal creatures that once nearly annihilated all life. These barriers were erected by the Twelve Arcanums, a legendary group of warriors who sacrificed their lives to seal away the Ancients. Their spirits now reside within twelve Guardian Ancients, enormous entities that once kept watch over the remaining cities. The last major human stronghold is Vandrel, a militaristic fortress nation that is guarded by an elite order known as the Requiem Order. The Order is tasked with fighting the Ancients using special weapons: Titanium Blades capable of weakening Ancients, Gliders for transport, and Cannons that assist in defense but can’t destroy the Ancients. As time has passed, humanity’s fight against the creatures has become a routine struggle—until the wall begins to crack. Story Overview: For centuries, humanity has lived in relative peace behind the Runestone Barriers, which keep the terrifying Ancients at bay. However, cracks are beginning to appear. In the city of Vandrel, the military maintains strict control as they prepare for an inevitable conflict. But an unexpected twist occurs when the Last Guardian Ancient—one of the twelve protectors—falls during a battle between the Ancients and a Guardian Ancient within the city, crushing the protagonist’s home in the process. The protagonist, Elian Fyre (MC), a timid and good-hearted young man, witnesses the collapse of his family’s home and the imminent threat of death as an Ancient approaches his younger sister. In a desperate, last-minute bid to protect her, Elian eats the flesh of a Guardian Ancient, unwittingly transforming into a hybrid being—part human, part Ancient. This transformation unlocks enormous power, allowing him to defeat the Ancients threatening his sister but at a steep cost: his new power is uncontrolled, leading to devastation and the injury of his sister. The government, realizing Elian's potential as the first person in 500 years to consume an Ancient and return to human form, takes him into custody. He’s forced to become a soldier in the Requiem Order, despite his reluctance and the trauma of his sister's injuries. With his new power, Elian must fight the Ancients while struggling to keep his humanity intact.
