So as some of you know, I recently completed Let There Be War, a 9.5 chapter short story. It was a commission and I have fulfilled it.
I've got a document with several story ideas that never got written for whatever reason. I'm starting this poll to gauge interest. This doesn't mean I'm going to write it anytime soon, but I'd certainly keep your thoughts in mind if/when I start to choose a new prompt to make an outline for.
Idea 1: Overlord (Maruyama)
MC gets reborn into a dystopic earth. He lives a miserable life at first but sometime around his 20th year, he recognizes the release of new technology. Terms like "dive," "DMMORPG," "nanites," and "YGGDRASIL" stir some memories from his past life.
He resolves himself to building a godlike character, fully believing that he will be sent to the New World so long as he can be present for the final seconds of the game. For ten years, he spends every bit of cash he earns on the game, living a miserable life without regard for his poverty or ill health so long as his in-game avatar grows. He even gets his hands on a World Item or two.
Then, when he opens his eyes on that final second, he... I don't know, ends up in Worm or something. I'd like to use it as a character creator of sorts. It would both be a standalone story and a way to jump off into the multiverse.
Idea 2: Naruto
MC is reborn as Mitsu Akimichi, a branch member and cousin to Choji. He splits his time between training to be a ninja and helping out his family bakery. He decides that he wants to take his clan to the next level. After all, there's never been an S-class Akimichi before. He's determined to be the first and decides that given the Akimichi physiology, food and yang release might be the way.
Along the way, he acquires the bee summons. The end goal would be to make him a bee/hornet sage, with jutsu revolving around honey, venom, food, dance, and pollen.
Idea 3: Pokemon
Isaac Silva gets dropped into the pokemon world. He finds himself in a forest, freaks out for a bit, and follows a river downstream to the sea. He ends up in Olivine and begin to wander around aimlessly. Then, sitting dejectedly at the lighthouse, he encounters a young girl looking just as depressed.
They start talking and he realizes that this is Jasmine, mere days after she inherited the gym from her deceased father. She has no idea how to run a gym. Isaac is broke and has no ID. The two come to an agreement: He will be her admin and right hand, handling all the background work while she trains her ass off to become the specialist she's supposed to be.
Along the way, Isaac himself becomes a passable steel specialist with a few other pokemon (Amphy). He builds up the gym and works to prepare for the resurgence of the Rockets.
Idea 4: Digimon x MHA
Takuya Kanbara, once the leader of the Warriors Ten, lived a full life. On his deathbed, he reminisces about the adventures of his youth. When he next opens his eyes, he finds that he is a baby again, with what can best be described as an internal digivice and the spirit of Ancient Greymon inside. Naturally, he decides to become a hero and teach Ryuku what a true "Dragon Hero" looks like.
Yes, I know Ancient Greymon (or Aldamon even) would be laughably overpowered in MHA. This would be a very lighthearted story.
Idea 5: Naruto x Tinker of Fiction (*HEAVILY nerfed)
MC is reborn in the Land of Snow. A few years later, Doto murders his brother and becomes daimyo. MC grows up in an oppressive, frozen wasteland and considers it his sole grace that Snow is irrelevant to the geopolitics of the Elemental Nations.
Being the child of a poor fisherman, he gets drafted as a ninja when he demonstrates his ability to manipulate chakra. His intelligence is discovered early and he plays a pivotal role in building up "Yukigakure" as the pioneer of chakra-based technology. His bastardized ice release and technical innovation allows him to rise quickly through the minor village's hierarchy, becoming the jonin commander and Doto's right hand.
Knowing what's coming, he promptly murders Doto and begins to revolutionize the country as acting daimyo. Koyuki and Team 7 arrive to find a very different country. MC reinstates Koyuki as the figurehead and formally allies with Konoha, working to stop the Akatsuki while remaining a "minor" power.
