Fated to Die? Not with My Favorability System

RiftbornAsh
Leonard, an old man who lived an obedient yet unfulfilling life, is reborn as the illegitimate son of a powerful duke in a medieval fantasy world. However, this is no second chance at luxury—his family despises him, his stepmother plots his death, and his half-brother sees him as nothing more than a stain on their noble lineage. When the duke orders him to join the Hero’s party—a death sentence for someone without talent—Leonard realizes he is nothing more than a disposable pawn. But just as despair creeps in, a voice echoes in his mind. [Ding! The Favorability System is bound!] Now, Leonard has the power to gain Favorability Points from people around him. The stronger their favor toward him, the more of their talents he can steal. From noble ladies to legendary knights, he must use charm, manipulation, and strategy to survive in a world where power is everything. As the shadows of war loom and the so-called "Hero" reveals his true nature, Leonard must decide—will he remain a pawn in their game, or will he seize destiny for himself? > "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com under the username [yadava]."

Reincarnated as Duryodhana in Mahabharata

Aditya was just an ordinary young man from the modern world — until a sudden accident ended his life and sent his soul into the body of Suyodhana, the eldest prince of Hastinapur. In this new life he is the boy history will one day call Duryodhana — the cursed prince fated to start the greatest war the world has ever seen. But Aditya is not alone. A mysterious Karma System has come with him, rewarding every kind choice and warning him when darkness creeps too close. Armed with his twenty-first-century knowledge and a burning desire to change the future, Suyodhana sets out to rewrite the tragic story of the Mahabharata. He heals his father Dhritarashtra’s blind eyes, wins the true loyalty of the mighty Karna and the forest archer Eklavya, and gathers his young friends in a quest to stop the bloody Kurukshetra war before it can begin. Yet destiny is far more stubborn than he imagined. As Suyodhana and his companions journey through glowing mountains, face ancient trials of the heart, and challenge the will of gods and sages, a deeper shadow begins to stir. Something far more dangerous than the coming war hides in the forgotten corners of this world — an ancient evil that the old legends never dared to name. Will Suyodhana truly become the hero who saves everyone he loves? Or will the heavy name of Duryodhana slowly pull him back into the darkness he is trying to escape? A tale of friendship, second chances, and cosmic fate — where one boy’s modern heart must decide whether he will break the chains of destiny… or become the very monster the world already fears.
