[MHA x Shadow Slave]: Lurker at the Threshold

Marasis
Well met travelers! Come, take a seat by the fire and join me and our protagonist onto a journey of ascension, while trying to not lose sight of what it means to be human... From a bum, who stumbled through life, into a panentheistic god wannabe. Starting from a typical trope of a guy who happens to enjoy novels and other cultured works and gets yeeted into another world. But unlike other transmigrators who, after transmigration, often finds drive, purpose, power and hot babes, our "hero", after he realised that his quirk is less than worthless, manages to remain a bum(bad idea) and try to rely on luck for survival of the plot(not gonna happen). Unfortunately for him(fortunately for us) the world or maybe fate(or me) won’t allow that! If you a bum then there are consequences! You need to grow or suffer loss (or trauma)! Otherwise you will bring shame upon the name of all the legendary transmigrators! Main worlds : "My Hero Academia" and "Shadow Slave" Quirk: [Tie those damn shoelaces!] → [??????????] (No Spoilers!) If you open this novel, expect cringe masquerading as comedy, foreshadowing with a subtlety of a sledgehammer and maybe even boredom…- with an unhealthy dose of regret. Warning 1: This is my first fan-fic… or any "literary" work written altogether since ever, so I seriously expect things to be bad like…- all around(Plot, spacing, characters, dialogs, editing, release schedule) and as such I do appreciate any form of feedback/criticism. Also English is not my first language, so my grammar is also probably gonna be bad. I will try to edit things as I go. One of my main goals while writing this, is to improve my writing abilities, so I want to avoid using AI as much as possible. That will inevitably slow down the chapter release rate, which may turn really frustrating considering that I think the story progress will be extremely slow. Warning 2: I am aware that readers tend to judge fan-fic MC’s in specific ways. We expect the protagonist to be likable, cool or at least entertaining, which is completely fair. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write a likable MC yet(or maybe ever) Warning 3: This novel has(or will have) content that some people may find disturbing. You may see, descriptions or mentions of: blood, gore, dismemberment, torture, slavery, kidnapping, abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm, suicide, cannibalism, infanticide and miscarriage among other things. Reader discretion is advised. Warning 4: This work might contain certain "opinions" and "comments" about different beliefs, ideologies and religions found in real life. In case it does end up offending someone, please remember that these "opinions" do not represent the author's(mine's) actual worldview and are merely a portrayal of this fan-fiction's fictional character's way of "thinking". Warning 5: I have no idea what I’m doing. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction and as such I don’t own the rights for any characters, media or worldbuilding found or mentioned in this work, except my OC’s. All credit for respective media go to their authors/creators/owners such as: “My Hero Academia” by Kōhei Horikoshi, “Shadow Slave” by Guiltythree, “Cthulhu Mythos” by H.P.Lovecraft, “???? ?????” by ???? ?????, “Elden Ring” by FromSoftware, "??? ??????????? ?????" by ??????????? ???????, "Odyssey" by Homer/"????? ??? ???????" by ????? ????????????? “???? ?? ??? ?????????” by ?????????? ???? ????? ??????, "???????" by ???????? ???????, “???????? ????????” by ?? ???? ???, “Slay the Princess” by Black Tabby Games, “????????? ???” by ????? ????????, “??????????/??????????” by ?????, "??????? ?? ????????" by ???????? ?????????????, and many others. (Redacted cuz no spoilers, I will try to unredact as the story progresses) And also to many authors of different fan fictions whose wonderful creations inspired me to take a plunge and try to write this story. Thank you. ENJOY! (hopefully reading this won’t damage your brains)

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
