The Heavenly Empress' Assassin

Shiro_the_Hero
A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe. So never expect anything to work in the same way as something that you are already familiar with, because chances are very high that it won't be the same at all. (Yes, I just blatantly flipped the script.) I hope you'll enjoy The Heavenly Empress' Assassin! ------------------------- Current Release Schedule: • 5 chapters per week • 1 chapter every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (at ~11 p.m. GMT+1) (More chapters can appear as bonus chapters, so this is the absolute minimum.) • Vote with Power Stones to read more chapters in the week after the results are in! -> Top 100: +1 chapter -> Top 50: +2 chapters -> Top 10: +3 chapters -> Top 5: +4 chapters -> 1st Place: +5 chapters - Chapter length: ~2k words on average

The Eminence in Shadow vs One Punch Man

When a dimensional rift smashes the hilariously overpowered (and terminally bored) Saitama into the meticulously crafted, shadowy world of Cid Kagenou (aka Shadow), all of Shadow's cool, dark, badass machinations are instantly thrown into chaos. Desperate to orchestrate an epic, goosebump-inducing tournament worthy of his "Eminence in Shadow" persona – and perhaps find someone, anyone, who can survive more than one punch from Saitama – Shadow finds his grand script constantly rewritten by Saitama's casual omnipotence and insatiable craving for instant noodles. As legendary powerhouses like the grim Shadow Monarch Jin Woo and the unexpectedly formidable culinary wizard Soma Yukihira are unwittingly drawn into the fray through Shadow's increasingly desperate (and Sherry Barnett's rift-amplifying) efforts, the stage is set for jaw-dropping power clashes, shocking twists, and laugh-out-loud absurdity. With the awkward, dimension-shattering arrival of Shinchan and his family looming on the horizon (Chapter 60, you've been warned!), Shadow's attempts to maintain his cool, edgy mystique while managing a cast of reality-bending oddballs become a thrilling, hilarious battle in itself. Will anyone get a decent fight? Will Shadow finally achieve his perfect, badass narrative? Or will it all dissolve into an epic, goosebump-inducing mess of overpowered heroes, delicious food, and a single, devastatingly anticlimactic punch? This is the ultimate crossover where cool meets comedy, and the only thing more shocking than the power levels is how badly Shadow's plans keep going awry. Prepare to be kept on your toes!
