My Life (After Countless Reincarnations) in Runeterra

Hannahchan
"Reincarnation is a cosmic game of Russian roulette, and my latest prize is Demacia. The kingdom of justice, order, and petricite forests that suppress magic. The problem? I'm practically a walking magical fuse. Between Mage Hunters sniffing out heresy and citizens who see a stray spark as an invitation to be burned at the stake, surviving here takes more than just luck. The good news is that after hundreds of lifetimes, I've learnt how to fend for myself... and I attract trouble like a poro to a tasty treat. My plan? Get the hell out of here, explore the strangest corners of Runeterra, and preferably, avoid a pathetic death. But something tells me that in this world of forgotten gods and looming wars, 'simple' isn't on the cards. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Don't answer that." ------------------- Author's Notes ------------------- English isn't my first language. I'm still learning! So please forgive any grammatical mistakes or awkward phrasing. (If you spot anything that sounds a bit off, please do let me know in the comments. I'd love the feedback to help me improve). This is a Runeterra fanfiction. As we all know (even Riot can't quite seem to get it straight), there are several different timelines. To avoid getting lost, I've created my own. The universe here is a hybrid: it blends elements of older League of Legends lore with what was shown in Arcane. In Arcane, some champions simply don't exist, but I'm too fond of them to leave them out. So, in this universe, both worlds meet. Story Style: This is intended as a slice-of-life adventure, inspired by Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren). This means it will focus more on the journey, dialogue, discovery, and magical day-to-day life, rather than on huge, epic battles all the time. Romance is not the main focus. However, if it does happen, it will be Yuri. I'm by no means an expert on LoL lore (I'm guilty of mostly just knowing the champions I play cough cough). So, it's likely some things might stray from canon. If you notice any drastic divergences, please go easy on me! Instead, feel free to leave a comment: I'd genuinely appreciate the chance to read your thoughts, learn from them, and even make adjustments where it makes sense.

Null & Void: Journey to Defy the Creator

Dear Reader, Have you ever had thoughts that questioned the reality around you? What is my true purpose in life? Why doesn't anybody like me? What do others have that I don't; what is this hidden secret behind the feeling of happiness? "Null is he...," that voice, "... who defies the creator," it all started with that dying whisper. He who was once just another speck of the tiniest speck of the universe would have to become the strongest for the sake of his true purpose in life. His lover? Blazing ambition? Treasured new friends? Witness the lengths that Null had to go through to understand what it meant to accomplish one's dreams and triumph over those who sought to crush them. His journey to defy the creator will leave him beaten, battered, and bruised as he chases a lost flame across the cosmos in a bid to keep his lover's soul from dying out. Will he meet his end the same as his predecessor, or will he and his misfit band of allies defy the natural order of the universe as chaos reigns wherever they go? If you've found yourself on a boring rock, craving adventures in an infinitely expanding vast of nothingness, then you're in for the time of your life! Gods and Devils, Angels and Demons, Unicorns and Rainbows, Laughter and Crying, Life and Death, Winning and Losing— all of that and tons more await!!! I've said my piece, now it's time for you, The Reader, to enjoy my most prized creation. Yours Then, Now, and Forevermore, The True Creator

My Casino Thief

The Casino Thief Alex Cinder steals to survive — tips, secrets, and on one reckless night, ninety thousand dollars in casino tokens to save his sister's life. He never expects to get caught. He definitely never expects to get caught by the casino's owner. Lawrence Grey has a problem of his own: a family fortune tied to a marriage he has no intention of meaning, and parents who won't take "I'll find someone" for an answer much longer. When he realizes the nervous thief who robbed him blind is exactly the leverage he needs, he makes Alex an offer he can't refuse — four years of marriage, in exchange for the crime disappearing. It's supposed to be a transaction. A performance for Law's parents, an escape hatch for Alex's debt, nothing more. Neither of them counts on falling in love along the way. But happiness has a way of catching attention it shouldn't, and Alex's recovering sister — starved for years of the connection she watches her brother find so easily — starts wanting something that was never hers to take. As her fixation deepens into something far more dangerous than a crush, Alex and Law are forced to confront how much they're willing to risk to protect what they've built, and what it costs all of them when wanting the wrong thing for too long finally breaks someone wide open. A slow-burn marriage of convenience with real teeth — about choosing each other on purpose, the families we build instead of the ones we're given, and what it takes to come back from the people we almost become.
