Shadows of the Realm: Rhaegar's Resolve (Completed)

Perseus_Blackfyre
In Shadows of the Realm: Rhaegar's Resolve, things get turned upside down in the world of Game of Thrones. Imagine this: Rhaegar Targaryen’s story doesn’t end the way everyone thinks. Instead of a dramatic battle, he meets his end in a shocking twist—caught up in a fateful moment with Lyanna Stark at the Tower of Joy. But just when you think the story is over, things take a wild, magical turn. Suddenly, a new Rhaegar steps into the picture, but here’s the kicker—it’s a self-insert. That’s right, our narrator wakes up in the body of this new version of Rhaegar, with all the memories of his past life in a world that only knew these characters as fiction. He’s got to find his way in a world that’s way more dangerous and complicated than any TV show or book. Armed with his knowledge of the Game of Thrones universe, he’s trying to rewrite history, but it’s way harder when you’re in the middle of it all. This new Rhaegar is thrown into the cutthroat politics of Westeros, where every choice could spark a war or make an ally out of an enemy. He’s carrying all the baggage of the original Rhaegar’s legacy, but he’s also trying to make his own way. And with every move he makes, he’s shaking up the future of the Seven Kingdoms—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. It’s not just about dragons and battles, though. It’s about figuring out what it means to have a second chance, especially when you’re caught between who you used to be and the person you’re trying to become. This new Rhaegar is trying to navigate the messiness of being a leader in a world where there’s no clear right or wrong, and every decision feels like it could change everything.

Ashen Requiem

In the year 2030, Earth underwent a transformation as sudden as it was cataclysmic. Mysterious meteorites of unknown origin appeared in the solar system, evading all detection systems, as if they had materialized from nothingness itself. Fifteen of them—black and white—crashed into our planet, while an indeterminate number were lost in the vastness of space. At that time, humanity was already steeped in sin, moral decay, and pride. For some, the arrival of the meteorites was seen as a divine judgment—a brutal purification inflicted upon a world on the brink of perdition. These black and white meteorites carried within them supernatural energy, yet of diametrically opposed nature. The black ones, true catalysts of destruction, poisoned the environment and gave birth to chaos, madness, and mutation. The white ones, on the other hand, seemed to offer a semblance of blessing, though their influence remained ambiguous at times. Living beings exposed to these energies—be they human or animal—were forever changed. Many perished; others were transformed into monstrous entities or granted supernatural powers. But this so-called "gift" was in truth a veiled curse—those marked by corruption became outcasts, hated and hunted. The world, fractured, witnessed the collapse of several nations. Entire regions were quarantined and forgotten, while the so-called “Bastions of Light” became the final refuge of what remained of civilized humanity. The fall of the world dismantled all known structures. Ancient legends came to life, mythological creatures emerged—some lurking in the darkest corners of the globe, others awakened by the disruptions. Dimensional portals, rare but real, opened under the influence of the black meteorites, allowing demonic entities from elsewhere—known as "Cauchemar"—to infiltrate the human world. Humanity, overwhelmed, slowly descended into madness. And yet… amidst the chaos, figures rose. Heroes emerged from religious, scientific, military, and anarchist factions. Among them, one name stood out: Klein—a mysterious man newly elected Pope of a reborn organization known as "The New Church". He brought light and order where all seemed lost. Officially, it was he and his companions who saved the world from the first wave of collapse. But in the shadows of History, another truth remained. Jin, a rebel, a symbol of resistance, had stood against the Church and the World Government, which had formed in the aftermath of the catastrophe. Accused of crimes he did not commit, he was captured, tried, and sentenced to death. His execution was to take place in Almeris, the spiritual capital of the new world. On that day, war erupted. Jin's supporters launched a desperate attack to rescue him, unleashing a battle so devastating that it reduced 20% of the planet to ruins. Jin perished that day, along with most of his companions. But before falling, he made a solemn vow: to return. To take revenge. To honor the promise made to those who still believed in him. Since then, a rumor persists—Jin will return, and with him, the world will once again be transformed.
