Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve

FictionOnlyReader
[A Naruto Fan Fiction] Make the best of what you have, they said... But what I am supposed to do when the best I have are red-eyed freaks, a child who's supposed to be the jailor of the most dangerous being in the world, a snake bastard with serious boundary issues, and a whole world of super soldiers with licences to murder. And you know the best part? None of them like me so much... Oh shut it, old man! Take that Will of Fire and shove it up your— Yeah, this second swing at life isn't panning out... --------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: - Gradual strength progression. Meaningful growth. The MC is a normal guy dumped into the Narutoverse, starts out weak and has to work and struggle for everything he gains. - "Slow" paced. My writing style is a zoomed-in look camera that follows the protagonist. It might seem slow, but I ensure something is always happening to progress the plot forward. - Gritty and often bloody fights and actions scenes with a focus on taijutsu—you'll see individual combat, team fights, and large-scale battle. - A different take on the Narutoverse. The world is full of superhuman mercenaries with liscenes-to-kill—that along with the protagonist's struggles paint the world in a much darker light. - Additions and expansion to the "chakra" power system. I consider myself a conservative when it comes to adapting the power system—and aim to retain the original feel while highlighting the best parts. - The Outsider's Resolve version of Narutoverse uses the [Naruto Manga] as the base—with additions from anime, books, and even Boruto (though very less likely). --------------------------------------------------------------- DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/w5dJ82SfMr --------------------------------------------------------------- PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/fictiononlyreader --------------------------------------------------------------- DECLARATION: This story is also present on: FFN, Ao3, SpaceBattles, SufficientVelocity, and ScribbleHub RoyalRoad [to be verified] --------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: I don't own any character other than my OCs.

The Last Marine

WHEN THE WORLD ENDED, HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. Marine Sergeant Quinn Carter wakes up on a highway littered with the wreckage of a military convoy—burned-out husks of vehicles, torn bodies, and a silence so heavy it chokes him. The last thing he remembers is kissing his wife, Anna, goodbye before deployment. Now, the world is a graveyard, and the air reeks of blood and rot. But he’s not alone. The things that move in the ruins aren’t the shambling dead of old horror stories. They’re fast. Smart. They mimic human voices to lure survivors out. When Quinn hears a child’s desperate cry for help, he almost falls for it—until he sees their milky-white eyes and the way they move like a pack. THE FIRST BITE ISN’T THE END. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING. Fighting his way through the wreckage, Quinn finds a lone survivor—Sarah Monroe, a fellow Marine with a tire iron and a haunted past. She tells him the truth: the world didn’t end with bombs or a virus. It ended with Systemic Immune Failure (SIF)—a plague that didn’t just kill people. It turned them into something worse. Now, the infected hunt in packs, using eerie mimicry to draw out the last survivors. And they’re getting smarter. ESCAPE ISN’T AN OPTION. IT’S A LIE. Trapped in a decaying city with the horde closing in, Quinn and Sarah must navigate a landscape of betrayal and desperation. The military remnants—led by a shadowy figure named Vance—aren’t here to save anyone. They’re rounding up survivors for reasons Quinn can’t fathom. And every step towards home—towards Anna—brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than the infected. BECAUSE THE REAL MONSTERS AREN’T THE ONES WITH THE MILKY EYES. With time running out and the horde learning from every attack, Quinn must decide: Does he fight for a world already lost? Or does he run—straight into the heart of the nightmare—to find the woman he loves? A PULSE-POUNDING, UNFLINCHING THRILLER THAT REINVENTS THE APOCALYPSE—WHERE THE REAL TERROR ISN’T THE INFECTED… IT’S WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND. PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE LAST OF US, BIRD BOX, AND THE ROAD. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FIRST NIGHT?

Reincarnated as the Elder's son: My Infinite Shop Points System

[Wsa entry.] James Dohan, a famous author working for the government, suddenly died after an accident occurred at his workplace. Nothing could have prepared him for the events to come. [You have reincarnated.] James soon found himself reincarnated into the body of Jared, the son of the village's elder in a demon-infested wasteland. The North, abandoned by a cowardly kingdom after a brutal war, crawled with monsters and desperate survivors. Jared left to save his father with a miracle cure, but James arrived too late—the Elder was dead, the village was starving, and the title of Elder fell on his unprepared shoulders. Luckily, he had a cheat code to rely on. [You have awakened your Infinite Item Shop System.] [Current balance: 0 Sp. Buy everything, Sell anything.] [You grow stronger the more gods choose to observe you.] [The god of wealth is amazed at your talent.] [The god of wealth has gifted you a divine blessing.] [The god of love wishes to observe you.] Jared found a way to save the people of his village from dying from their own weakness and the horrors of the world.
