Can a legend ever be rooted in truth?
In most cases, I have my doubts.
Particularly the one about the hero who united the peoples of the primordial era, defeated the original evil, and ruled as Emperor over all of Ameritia, the entire known world.
They say his gaze alone could bring any enemy to their knees, and that his voice, even in a whisper, could bend the will of kings.
Some even go so far as to claim that, among his romantic conquests, was none other than the goddess of life herself.
A bit much, don't you think?
I certainly do.
Especially when all signs seem to point toward that legendary figure being... me.

The Nine-tailed Kitsune
Those who were born ordinary are sometimes extraordinary. However, the extraordinary oppress the ordinary. The ordinary becomes an outsider because of who they are... well. Just plain ordinary. Never consider those ordinaries whose kindness is their weakness because the beast in them is sleeping, not dead. Just waiting to shake the world.

For it is time for them to return to the rising land of the sun. The Japanese deities are waiting to welcome the vessel, the outsider to come and show the world the odds. A story of a vessel, a boy who is an outsider to this foreign land where he was born. - Izuku Midoriya becomes a nine-tailed kitsune deity at the cost of what was once believed to be his ideal of heroism, which crumbled from the curtains of reality-taken from his home and mother, stripped from his identity. He never made it into the U.A in this world. Chaos had shaken the foundations and turned many fates upside down. Villains create havoc in their wake, and several of the cities are destroyed in the path of destruction. Until a miracle came to him. The world had gone through changes as he was isolated for so long. Will he give a merciful hand from the divine light or will he wreak havoc on the Dark Side? - Disclaimer: The characters belong to the rightful owner and author.

You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-

I Will Die As The Villainess √
Do you think a mere human can win against fate? You probably read a lot of stories where a reincarnated person succeeded as a villainess. Most reincarnated people were teenagers who had a sad life or maybe assassins who can fight or maybe geniuses. Some change and started being nice towards the heroine and capture targets. Some easily accepted the villainess role and turned the tables. The heroine becomes the villainess and the villainess became the heroine. Most villainess succeeded and change their destinies while others died. What about my story? Did I change my destiny? I did, accepted the role of a villainess without caring about the results. I tried to be as cunning as possible and become an enemy of both empires even though deep down I know I was scared. I was scared because I was just a teenager who got reincarnated in a world where both words and swords can behead someone. I wasn't a person who belongs in this world. I was merely an intruder. An intruder who knows everything and does nothing to change one's fate. [The picture isn't mine so credits to the owner] Also, expect some grammatical errors. English is not my native language-- it would be quite helpful if you point out some mistakes. Some contents contained things that might be uncomfortable with readers such as gore, death and the talk about beliefs.Complete
