Kingsguard of a new era
Jon POV
It has not been a week since my wedding with Margaery, and the capital city of Westeros has entered another festival—a tourney to choose new Kingsguard. It was almost a more significant event than my wedding. At first, it was meant to be scheduled just after my wedding, but too ma...

Eye for a soup
Today was an ordinary Friday in the first month of June. It was also the birthday of Utakata. From today onward, he would be five. It meant nothing to anyone else and even less to Utakata. It was just another day. That was also his birthday. He ate, studied, ate, trained, and slept as usua...

The most brutal lessons in the academy were the taijutsu. It would happen only once a week for the new students, at least for now. Utakata quickly grasped the ideology of Mist’s standard taijutsu. It was brutal and offensive. Aside from basic blocking, the instructor didn’t teach anything else...

As the sun rose, so were the children forced to leave their beds by an instructor and raise. The instructor rang a bell as he walked inside the dormitory. Utakata rose without a complaint, even if he still had heavy eyelids. He grimaced at the light and cold floor under his bare f...

It took more time than I thought to prepare for tonight. Building siege weapons was time-consuming. But it was fine. Now Unsullied can siege the main gates distracting most of Meereen’s guards. While my fleet blocked the harbor, denying any external support they might get.

“Did you hear that?” Kiba asked, throwing the unconscious bodies of shinobi from Village Hidden in the Rain.

Start of new life
Life of an orphan was already quite challenging, especially during the war. Children with no potential for shinobi arts were mainly ignored and left to survive alone. Of course, some orphanages gave a roof and food, even if it wasn’t enough for growing children, but that was what the V...

I recognize the man who tried to kill me. It’s the Titan’s bastard, Mero. I wish the wizard didn’t crush his neck, as I wanted to do that. Was it out of revenge that he targeted me, or was there something more? Once the wizard helped to free my leg, I checked the dead body first....

Sasuke could see that Naruto was tired. He didn’t know what kind of chakra he used that burned red, but it exhausted him. At least they managed to escape, and the explosions from that direction indicated that someone else faced the man. Probably one of the proctors noticed that the man wasn’t a genin and ...

The walls of Meereen were tall and sturdy, unlike the unkept walls of Astapor and Yunkai. At first glance, there weren’t any weaknesses to take advantage of. But I saw what most didn’t. I saw the men on the walls. They were numerous, as expected from a city as massive as Meereen. ...

To say that Theon Greyjoy wasn’t intimidating was like saying you didn’t fear death. There was a reason he was called the Black King. To stay close to him was nerve-wracking; everything in my body screamed not to move. If you flee, you will die. If you fight, you will die even more horr...
