Prologue - An Empires Rising
In the Throne Room of a giant palace, which was so magnificent that everyone who saw it could just stare at it with an open mouth, sat a man in is 20`s.
He wore an expensive looking suit and in his hand he held a staff completely made of Gold, with strangely glowing ornaments all over it and it was decorated with many small diamonds and a fist sized one on top of it.
The Throne on which he sat on was surrounded by hundreds of Gorgeous Women but at the moment he was entirely focused on a Holographic display which showed a Massive spaceship that was about to launch from a Shipyard on earth.
It`s destination was one of Jupiter’s Moons, Europa, where it would be building the first Colony of the Empire.
Thanks to the Hyper Drive, one of many technological advancements that where made since the founding of Empire, the Journey would take a little over 4 days.
And that was just the Interplanetary Drive. Plans existed to build an Intersystem Drive which could make the journey to the nearest Solar system in the same amount of days.
The man thought about how everything began. Not that long ago Earth was divided and most of the people thought it was impossible to Colonize Planets or moons. Hell, many countries stopped their space Program because it was too expensive. At that time he was just a normal person with a fable for Spaceships and Sci-Fi stories.

Drake Heisenberg was 18 years old, single and on his way home from his shift in the Factory he worked in. He would rather go on a party than work on a Friday night but all the inconvenient shifts would get pushed on him.

Drake turned the radio on and sighed. He said to himself that he would definitely make it to a party next week. If he knew how wrong he was we would have slapped himself.
Drake was nearly home, when a bright light appeared all around him and a high pitched, loud noise could be heard. He shrugged it off as a prank of his neighbors. Suddenly he fainted.

When Drake regained his consciousness he found himself in an unfamiliar room. As he tried to move he notices that he was strapped to some sort of Machine. He panicked but calmed down soon. Since Drake couldn`t determine neither the purpose nor the Origin of the Machine, he proceeded to look around the room he was in. Drake could see many unfamiliar objects and Machineries. Then he noticed that the door on the other side of the Room was suddenly glowing and slowly opening itself.
A Person in snake like Armor came into the Room. It was impossible to determine the gender because of the helmet that looked like a snake head with red glowing eyes. He called it Snake-Man until he could find out its real name. (And Gender because he suddenly had an uncontrollable urge to fuck a female regardless of her species.)
At that moment Drake gained the suspicion that he was no longer on earth. But there was something bugging him, why was he so calm about all that? Normally he would have freaked out and would have shouted like crazy but now he was unexpectedly calm. Had he been experimented on? He couldn’t feel any emotions except curiosity and lust. As he was thinking about that he heard the armored person speak to someone behind it.
[Los kommt her und gebt ihm die Injektion. Wir müssen hier weg sein bevor man uns entdeckt!] (Snake-Man?)

The Snake-Man? spoke in a language that he didn`t recognize. Suddenly he notices that the Snake-Man? held an oddly shaped cane in his right hand. The cane had an oval shaped tip and something like a button in height of the holder’s hand. The Snake-Man? pointed the tip of the cane at him and it opened in four pieces and sparks flew between the pieces. He asked himself how that device worked and guessed that it was a weapon.
He asked himself ``What is going on with me? I’m in a possible live and death situation and I find it more important to find out how that shit works than to think about a way to survive.``
Drake also noticed that he had an rifle like object strapped on his back and a pistol like object was placed on his waste in some sort of Holster. Suddenly four figures appeared from behind the Snake-Man?.
They were about half as tall as him and had all unknown equipment and weapons on their body and had nothing except pants on and equipment belts on. They went to one of the machines that he saw earlier and took some sort of quarantine container out of it and put it in the machine he was strapped to.
The Aliens than put injection Needles, with hoses that were connected to the quarantine container, in his body. Two in the chest area, one in each arm and leg, one in his neck, two in his back and the most painful one was the one in the area between his balls and dick. The aliens studied his reactions, took notes and in the end they spoke to the Snake-Man?.
[Die Ehre auf den konpf zu drücken gehöhrt ihnen Sir] (Small Alien)
[Also gut. Dokumentiert nur alles genau danach werde ich das andere Testsubjekt besuchen,
Wenn das Subjekt durchdreht Tötet es!]] (Snake-Man?)
The Snake-Man? went to some sort of control panel an pressed a big red button.
Immediately Drake could observe how an unhealthy looking substance through the hoses in his body flooded. As more and more of the fluid in his bloodstream was, he felt like his entire body was in flames and would simultaneously be ripped apart.
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH] (Drake)
He screamed like a madman. Luckily he soon fell unconscious. But what he would see was probably more frightening than the torture by the aliens. Ok no, it wasn`t more frightening because strangely he didn`t feel any emotions at all.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.
