A K/DA x bodyguard male reader story, (we're so back). "Govos 'Uncle Zed' Usan, was the headmaster and chairman of the Ionian order, Order of Shadow, since 1986 and up until his death in 2025. The death of the moral, idealistic, and wise man sent a wave through the hearts of members of the Order of Shadow, and other Ionian orders as well. The rivalry between existing orders and members of the ever-crumbling Order of Shadow created dilemma that would decide the fate of those within it.", (Puldis-Frumias, n.d.). As a Red Pole of the Order of Shadow, Y/N L/N revered, even mourned Uncle Zed as his mentor and guiding light through the shadows has faded. His world was shattered, with every option he took seeming to threaten his existence; all but one. A cowardice choice, one only done by those without true hearts, has been forced upon him. Y/N fled Ionia in a "selfish desire" for survival, retreating to Piltover, where he meets an old friend, and in turn, builds a new life, for him and for others. Who else does he inspire or build onto? What does he find in world's biggest trade hub? How can we be sure the demons from Ionia won't come back to haunt him? This wasn't just a quest for survival, was it? What's the "Bone" for this guard dog? WARNING: This story is heavily inspired by Sleeping Dogs and games similar. You have been warned, now remember to detach characters from the author. Please don't have the mental capacity of a piece of string cheese found randomly on a college kid's front doorstep. CONTEXTUAL NOTE: This will be my own modern adaptation of the LoL Runeterra world. Piltover and Zaun will be most like the United States, Ionia will be various different Asian nations depending on small location, as it's not necessarily big enough to house every Asian nation. The rest of the LoL Runeterra destinations I will leave up to the reader to interpret.

Starlight has a price. It's paid in small installments - a boundary moved, a truth swallowed, a version of yourself folded up and put in a drawer you stop opening. By the time the balance comes due, the person who signed the contract doesn't exist anymore. Someone else is wearing her face. K/DA is perfection. Untouchable. Engineered. Behind the glass, four women are learning what the world does to things it loves too much. And the man who stumbled behind the curtain? He wasn't supposed to see any of it. He definitely wasn't supposed to care. Caring is where the bleeding starts. A dark romance. Branching endings. Real consequences. ⸻ (Art and Cover Originally by Me - K/DA Assets grabbed from Official Riot Sources and edited) (DD/MM/YY) #1 in LoL - 14/11/25 #1 in Edgy - 8/11/25 #3 in Corporate - 21/11/25 #10 in KDA - 2/12/25

Ahri is an elegant and stunning celebrity, as well as the leader of K/DA. An effortlessly charismatic songstress, she's dominated the music scene ever since her rise as a teenage pop star from Piltover Academy. She was always a dreamer, born for the stage, and she sacrificed much to get to the top. Too much. Tsuno is an oni with a broken horn and a harrowing past. Thought dead by the world above and hailed as a hero by the world below, he fled from his old life, leaving many regrets in his wake. Free from the chains of his family's doctrine, he brought a cold, merciless winter to Zaun and carved out a new life for himself and the people around him. Now he works as a bartender, security detail and part-time Firelight, keeping the streets of the Undercity safe. Never again shall they meet. The risen and fallen, the restless and the dead, eternally entwined yet forever out of reach. But a festival is coming to Piltover and Zaun, and there is no avoiding what capricious fate has in store. Sparks long buried will flare. Frozen hearts will thaw. A story, once ended, will continue again. (Cover art made by MikusNumberOneFan, the undisputed GOAT)

(Y/N) has built a peaceful life from the remnants of his past, one carefully poured cup of coffee at a time. His world is the warm, aromatic haven of The Grindstone, a quiet coffee shop where the biggest drama is a burnt batch of scones. Kai'Sa is the mesmerizing center of the global phenomenon K/DA. Her life is a whirlwind of sold-out arenas, flashing cameras, and the relentless pressure of perfection. Yet, amidst the adoration of millions, she feels a profound loneliness, a silent yearning for something real. A chance storm brings Kai'Sa through the doors of a familiar coffee shop, seeking shelter from the rain and the noise of her own life. To her astonishment, she finds (Y/N), the quiet barista from her art school days-the one who remembered her order and never asked for anything. He is her anchor to a world she thought she'd lost. As they reconnect over shared memories and late-night conversations, (Y/N) discovers the woman behind the superstar, while Kai'Sa finds in him a sanctuary where she can simply be herself.

Y/N leads a quiet life, balancing a mundane day job with his true passion: the intricate world of cybersecurity and ethical hacking. His evenings are spent unraveling digital puzzles, often to the backdrop of K/DA's latest tracks. But one night, a casual digital probe turns serious when he accidentally uncovers a sophisticated hack targeting the K/DA penthouse - a direct threat to their highly guarded privacy. Acting discreetly and without a thought for recognition, Y/N steps in, a ghost in the machine, to neutralize the breach and secure their digital lives. He never intended to meet them, much less become entangled in their world. However, when K/DA's formidable manager, Mundo, launches an extensive search for their anonymous savior, Y/N finds himself drawn into the orbit of Ahri, Evelynn, Kai'Sa, Akali, and Seraphine.

Kicked out, living in a cheap shitty apartment, single, depressed, poor, and everything in between. Things aren't going all that well for y/n. Just a few months ago he was happy to be out of school. Just a few months ago his life was at an all time high. Just a few months ago.... yeah that's about it really. Surviving on what little money he had left from his rather generous older sister, it seems as though nothing can redeem the hell that his life has become. Well, that is, before a certain Vastaya barges in on his life.

One meeting and one promise is all it takes. Y/n was just a normal kid growing up in a quiet town in Ionia, protected and raised by his adoptive mother. Life was peaceful-until the day his best friend had to leave, chasing a dream of freedom and a life filled with music. Years later, when they finally meet again... Will it be a blessing-or a disaster? (slow updates)

Y/N L/N, from Brighthammer Inc., worked as a salesman, riding the corporate waves of Piltover. Coming from a land where if you weren't wearing a suit, you were a nobody, there was something about this special woman he saw almost every day, just to pick up some coffee before a meeting. Although, him and his co-workers never thought of her as special. It wasn't until he realized that they were both caught in each other's eyes... that... that one barista was something else, but there's one problem... Y/N was a big jerk! Watch him as he pushes outside of the business box, and takes the hand of an aspiring musician, riding with her into her own stardom. Taking place in the modern version of Runeterra, where people drive cars and robes are swapped out for fitted shirts, blasters are swapped out for real firearms, and even fictional technology, becomes conceptual experiments. Let's go on a journey through a fictional version of Wall Street, all the way through the dank, decrepit, mean streets of south Zaun. Our story takes place in modern Piltover, where people become stars and less psychopaths roam the streets. P.S. Mature, yeah, expect some sexual content of some kind, as well as strong language, perhaps even the nasty stuff, like racial remarks or heavy stereotyping, frat-boy type behavior amongst coworkers, HR violations, the works.

Life can be what you want in the MODERN world of Runeterra, but we gotta do what we gotta do to get what we want. With this mentality, we come across Y/N L/N, (Your Name, Last Name), a Piltovan boy, who ever since was exposed to a sports car culture at a young age, has always dreamed of being a professional race car driver. We follow him on the journey of being a working-class gamer, to becoming one of Runeterra's most formidable race car drivers that the world has ever seen, and most importantly, meeting the love of his life. Her name was Ahri, a childhood friend of Y/N, and both of them supported each other's dreams to see the world. Both were separated for a while; however, life moves too fast for them to stay apart forever. Partnered with a former race car driver and technician, Viktor, as well as one of the leading motorsport executives, Jayce, and finally, THE popstar girlfriend, Ahri, he becomes something that'll revolutionize the Runeterran racing world for the better. WARNING: I took an absurd amount of inspiration from the Gran Turismo movie and the Forza games to make this real. You'll be able to tell. THIS STORY IS MATURE; YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT ENTAILS IF YOU KNOW MATURE!!! There will be topics of sexual assault and cheating, which can be unsettling for some people.

In the world of Runeterra, anyone could achieve anything, provided they had the strength to do it. But as for the weak? The powerless? There was nothing but suffering. (Y/N) (L/N) resigned himself to such a fate. Hoping to escape a dark past, (Y/N) moved from Ionia to Piltover, the City of Progress, in search of a better life. But all it took was one day-one encounter-to change his life forever. *** (Y/N) ignored the biting frost that clawed at his finger tips. He ignored the cries for help in his head. He ignored the pain that shot through him as fists made contact with his skin. For as long as he lived, he would never let it repeat again. And maybe there was still a chance at love, but he doubted it. That privilege didn't belong to monsters like him. All rights for KDA and League of Legends belong to Riot Games.
