TOKYO GHOUL: SELCOUTH

Ratatouille_Lvl999
One is never prepared for Death. Nay, you cannot know when the date/minute/exact moment the cold scythe kisses your nape. Well, unless you had your own means planned out...for the inevitable journey to the afterlife. Kain Bleart shall be clustered as such. Not everyday a bartender-cum-barista gets the chance to shove a cork opener into someone's eye— Not having been overly religious, Kain ascends from the fold of mortality and into the embrace of peaceful darkness–his expectations were average, an eternity of calm and boredom until an ROB picks him out as a chess piece into whatever other Universe that exists– as he had read in fiction literature. Oh! Little did he know! Hell–if it exists– would've been better, in comparison to what he experienced. Pain! Every waking second. Every movement. Every single thought. His sanity had been stripped off of him. He was alone. No gods to reincarnate him as in the novels. No eternal bliss as in the various sacred texts. But he adapted. And through every adaptation, one evolves. He finds his own way into a Universe and integrates himself into a much chaotic world of fiction. He was powerful. He cannot be shackled by the obligations of mortals. Forget being a Pawn, he aims to be the Game Master. Indulge yourselves in his journey, as he discovers and revels in the flow of Chaos. ___________ NOTICE: The Cover solely doesn't belong to me, as well as the original. Credit to be directed to those that deserve it. This is uncharted territory to me. I'm trespassing on a path new to me (Fanfiction). The sole reason for any FF writer out there, to grind through the chapters, is simply because the original was sub par to our expectations and everyone basically possesses their own imaginative prowess. Thus, we Write! You shall realize, this is AU (I'll integrate mild cannon points into it however). What to expect; 1. A Harem (As a member of the No-Harem faction, I shall understand if you turn your back on this novel right here and now coz of this. I appreciate your interest thus far.) However, to those that might swallow their disgust and disappointment for 'Harem' and stick around— I appreciate it and be at ease, this is no Pokemon farming. Love interests shall posses value (Max 3) 2. Slightly above average Descriptive writing. 3. Engaging and meaningful dialogues (Might be of less quality at first, but improvements moving forward.) 4. A broader Universe from the Original. 5. Spotlight to other characters and not just on the MC. What not to expect; 1. A bleeding heart MC. 2. Tasteless romance. 3. Bland worldbuilding. 4. Midiocre face slapping. 5. Low tier grammar. Let's move forward together from henceforth. A Reader begets a Writer! Support through commenting~reviews~opinions~critique~discussions~STONES~votes~collections...and the like. My updating frequency shall mirror your support. I'll appreciate commenting most, after all, I can't read minds. Hope to see you in the chapters!

Becoming a Prince in Ancient Times

The story unfolds in the **Great Shang Dynasty**, a fictional ancient Chinese empire rife with courtly conspiracies, warlord rivalries, and foreign threats. The dynasty was weakened by internal power struggles among princes and external pressures from neighboring nations like **Chu** and **the Turks. The protagonist, **Ye Ling**, a modern-day survivalist and influencer, dies during an expedition and reincarnates as the **Sixth Prince** of Shang—a notorious wastrel despised for his debauchery and political incompetence. However, his new identity holds a hidden advantage: he is the **sole legitimate heir** of the deceased empress, positioning him as a reluctant contender for the throne. --- ### **Opening Scene** **Time:** Early morning, fog-laden. **Key Event** Ye Ling awakens in a lavish palace bedchamber, disoriented by his transmigration. His confusion turns to panic when he discovers **Fu Yuanyuan**, the **First Prince’s betrothed** and the dynasty’s renowned scholar, lying beside him. The scandalous situation—engineered by political enemies—threatens to destroy both their reputations. Fu Yuanyuan, torn between fury and shame, becomes an unwilling ally as Ye Ling navigates the fallout, using his wit to deflect accusations and turn the tables against his foes. --- ### **Major Plot Points & Conflicts** #### **1. Power Struggles in the Imperial Court** - **Internal Conflict:** Ye Ling faces hostility from his half-brothers, particularly the **First Prince**, who views him as a threat to the throne. The court is divided between loyalists to the deceased empress and factions backing other princes. - **Key Scene:** At a state banquet, Ye Ling humiliates the **Chu Kingdom’s envoys** by solving an impossible riddle, saving Shang from ceding strategic territory. His victory earns Emperor Shang’s cautious approval but deepens his rivalry with the First Prince. #### **2. Modern Knowledge vs. Ancient Challenges** - **Technological Innovation:** Ye Ling leverages his survival skills and scientific knowledge to revolutionize Shang’s military. For example, he designs the **Mòdāo (陌刀)**, a legendary long-bladed weapon capable of decimating cavalry, and introduces **blast-furnace steelmaking** to arm the dynasty. - **Climactic Battle:** During a border clash with the Turks, Ye Ling’s modern tactics and weapons—including early gunpowder devices—secure a decisive victory, solidifying his reputation as a military genius. #### **4. The Climax: Rebellion and Redemption** - **Betrayal & Siege:** The First Prince allies with corrupt ministers and the Turks to stage a coup. Ye Ling, exiled to a frontier province, rallies marginalized factions—disgraced generals, peasant militias, and foreign allies—to reclaim the capital. - **Final Showdown:** In a brutal siege, Ye Ling’s **Liao Yuan Crossbow** and psychological warfare dismantle the First Prince’s forces. The emperor, recognizing Ye Ling’s prowess, names him crown prince but warns of the loneliness of power. --- ### **Ending** Ye Ling ascends the throne, marrying Fu Yuanyuan and Zhao Ling’er in a politically charged union. He reforms the bureaucracy, abolishes hereditary privileges, and launches naval expeditions to expand Shang’s influence, including a campaign against **pirates from the Eastern Isles (Japan)**. However, the story closes on a bittersweet note: Ye Ling’s modern morals clash with the ruthlessness required to rule, leaving him to ponder the cost of his ambition.
