The Heir’s Ruthless Obsession

(To my loyal readers, thank you so much for the love and engagement. I’ve officially finished editing chapters 1–32! Make sure you check out the updates, and I’m sorry for the slow pace. Happy reading ) Isabelle Duval spent her life at Saint Brigitte learning to be invisible. To her, her vibrant red hair wasn't a gift, it was a target she hid to survive the coal dust and the relentless, physical cruelty of Claire. Claire’s bullying was a violent daily reminder that orphans like Isabelle weren't meant to have dreams. Isabelle’s only voice lived in her violin, a way to scream without making a sound. When Director Rousseau offers her a scholarship to the elite St. Aurelia Academy, Isabelle sees a way out. She expects the charcoal uniforms and marble halls to be a shield against girls like Claire. But the relief is a trap. She hasn't escaped the pressure, she has simply traded physical bruises for social ones. At St. Aurelia, Isabelle is a "ghost" in a den of wolves who value bloodlines over talent. Her arrival sparks a silent war, drawing the gaze of Dmitri Volkov. Known to the school as the "Demon Prince," he looks at Isabelle with a bone-deep recognition that suggests he knows a secret about her family she hasn't even uncovered. He has no intention of letting her walk away. Torn, Isabelle is pulled toward Julien Rousseau, the Director’s son. He is everything the orphanage wasn't: warm, protective and kind. He offers the safety she has craved since childhood but his "protection" masks a darker truth. His family is tied to the very conspiracy that left Isabelle on a doorstep fifteen years ago. Isabelle is caught in a dangerous triangle. One boy wants to keep her in the dark to save her; the other wants to drag her into the light to use her. In a world where whispers are weapons, Isabelle must realize she isn't a charity case. She is the living ghost of a crime the elite are desperate to forget.  She is no longer playing for her life. She’s playing to find out who actually is before the people who ‘saved’ her decide she’s no longer worth the trouble.

MHA:Project Infinity!

In a world where 80% of humanity is born with superhuman abilities known as Quirks, the powerless are left behind—mocked, ignored, and forgotten. Arata Seigi is one of them. Born quirkless and orphaned, he survives on the pension left behind by his late parents — a hero mother who died in the line of duty, and a father who was a doctor involved in secret research. To the world, Arata is a nobody — a ghost wandering through a society that measures worth by strength. But within that quiet despair burns a defiant will. After years of ridicule and isolation, Arata vows to change the world — to end the cycle of discrimination that has turned heroes into tools and the quirkless into trash. He dreams not of fame or glory, but of revolution. When he turns twelve, fate intervenes. While rummaging through his late father’s belongings, he discovers an old pendrive — hidden within a dusty suitcase. The files inside reveal his father’s involvement in the illegal research of quirk cloning, working under none other than Doctor Garaki, the scientist serving All For One. His father’s notes detail the process of extracting, modifying, and storing quirk factors into artificial data chips — a technology that could rewrite human evolution itself. But what captures Arata’s imagination isn’t the forbidden science… It’s the possibility within it. Among his old sketchbooks — filled with drawings of heroes from his previous life — his eyes fall on one titled Infinity War. The image of Thanos wielding the Infinity Gauntlet stirs something within him. Six stones, six forces — power, space, time, reality, mind, and soul — each capable of reshaping existence. And then, a thought takes root. If quirks can be cloned and altered… Why not combine them? Why not create six artificial quirks representing those same fundamental forces? Why not forge his own version of the Infinity Gauntlet — not as a weapon of conquest, but as a tool to shatter the chains of a corrupted world? Thus begins Project Infinity. From that day onward, Arata dedicates himself to mastering science, technology, and genetics. While other children dream of becoming heroes, he becomes a silent creator — dissecting quirk theory, gathering information from underground sources, and testing fragments of cloned quirks. Years pass, and at seventeen, Arata Seigi emerges no longer as a helpless boy, but as the masked architect of a new world. He calls his cause Nova Genesis — the birth of a new dawn. A group of outcasts, quirkless, and disillusioned heroes who share his dream of revolution. To the public, they are terrorists. To the powerless, they are saviors. Wearing his white lab coat, black attire, and the complete Infinity Gauntlet on his right arm — its six stones glowing faintly in colors of blue, black, white, yellow, pink, and red — Arata stands as both scientist and savior. Each “stone” is an artificial quirk crystal, containing immense energy forged through forbidden science. While All Might and the Pro Heroes uphold justice, and All For One manipulates from the shadows, Arata seeks something greater: balance. He doesn’t wish to rule the world. He wishes to remake it. In a society bound by hypocrisy, Arata Seigi becomes a paradox — the revolutionary who wields the power of gods, yet dreams of equality. As his six “Infinity Stones” near completion, the world begins to tremble. Villains fear him. Heroes hunt him. The government brands him a threat. But to those who have suffered — the powerless, the forgotten, the broken — Arata Seigi is not a villain. He is hope. He is the dawn that follows destruction. He is the beginning of the end — and the birth of something new. MHA: Project Infinity — A story of science and rebellion. Of a man who defied destiny to challenge gods. And of a world that will never be the same again.
