The Martial Unity: Reborn a Saiyan

Finding himself Reborn as a Saiyan drifting across space, Merun crash-lands into the martial country of the Sekigahara Confederate, a nation ruled by Martial Clans who care only for battle. Taken in by a struggling peasant family and later joining a declining clan, Merun quickly learns that in Sekigahara, the weak are trampled, and only strength determines who lives with dignity. Here, his Saiyan blood isn't enough.. He needs to learn Martial Arts. Using knowledge of his past life and using his growing status as an inhuman martial artist, he vows to change the system that keeps it citizens suffering for the sake of war. The main character won't mess with the canon timeline too much... but for the sake of his newfound family, will he? (MC has memories of his past life as well as the MU novel, most of DBZ. However his memories are hazy and he since he wasn’t a fighter, he would still need to learn the basics.) This is a fanfic of the awesome novel Martial Unity. The main character won't be super OP so easily, I'll try to retain the balance somewhat relative to Rui.

Mushoku Tensei: Food and Steel

In a world where gods still whisper and sins are passed down through generations. Born as an illegitimate child of the Notos nobles, Atur only knows the coldness of status and the shadow of his tyrannical father.

Note: This is an OCs insert fanfic about a son of Pilemon (Paul's brother) which will expand the world and change a lot of canon events.

THE VILLAIN'S POV

"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ A successful author. After living an ideal life ... a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job, and a bestselling novel that made his name known across the world .. he suddenly finds himself reincarnated inside his own story, written by his very hands. And worst of all... inside the body of the weakest villain ... Frey. A third-rate villain doomed to die in the earliest chapters. A worthless scumbag with trash talent ... hated by every other character in the story, with no redemption in sight. But he refuses that fate. He rejects the entire world. This author doesn't need the cliché of a second chance — he already lived the life he always wanted. "Spare me the second chance nonsense. One chance was enough. I’m the one who created this world… and I’ll be the one to destroy it if I have to. I will return — to my world… my family… my life. No matter the cost." Driven by a burning desire to return home, Frey begins his journey through a merciless world, one where his fate has already been written by godlike beings. And as if the world hadn’t played enough cruel tricks on him, it granted him a strange system .. one that toyed with him endlessly. Complete knowledge of every event in the novel, and the ability to create any talent or power he wished. They seemed like overwhelming gifts... but were they truly? how far can he go… and what will become of the world he once created? ... ... discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb
