tragedy

"In a world without heroes, survival is the only justice."

EXCERPT✨ "You're so fucking beautiful," he murmured against her skin, voice ragged. Alina reached up, pulling him closer, her fingers threading through his red hair as she kissed him with all the pent-up emotions she'd kept locked away for years. The connection between them felt electric, every touch igniting a fire that neither could extinguish. Damien's lips traveled lower, his kisses lingering on her neck, her breast, her navel.. Alina's breath came in shallow gasps, her body reacting to him in ways she couldn't control. He pours every ounce of his feelings into his touch, his kisses, his whispered words. His hands traveled over her skin like he was discovering something sacred, something he'd been longing for but never dared to hope he could have. Every caress was deliberate, filled with tenderness and an undercurrent of raw desire. Alina's hands found their way to his shoulders, nails digging slightly into his skin as he started to taste her, her body responded to him. "Alina," he whispered her name, his voice hoarse, as though the weight of everything he felt for her was too much to contain. "You have no idea how long I've wanted this," he confessed, his voice breaking slightly. "To touch you, to love you like this" he said as he slid his fingers ever slowly in her; his fingers toying with her; his lips licking her precious juice.

In a world where Pokémon conceal their true power to survive human exploitation, Feng Che is cursed with a forbidden ability — he can hear what Pokémon really think. At Team Rocket’s brutal recruitment camp, while others fight over flashy Charizards and Dragonites, Feng Che selects only the “trash”: crippled Pokémon, cowards, slackers… and liars. Because he knows the truth. The weak Ekans is a genetic predator. The useless Froakie controls the underground economy. The discarded Pokémon are monsters pretending to sleep. Thrown into the Death Island Archipelago, where recruits die for points and Executives watch from the shadows, Feng Che begins assembling an army that shouldn’t exist. In Team Rocket, strength decides everything. But Feng Che doesn’t need strength. He collects secrets.

After escaping the hell of bullying in his city, Hidara travels to the city of 'Malisora' in search of a new beginning, but he finds himself kidnapped and thrust into a dark conflict between the forces of good and evil. In this world, the Forbidden Techniques have appeared—abilities that grant their users, known as the 'Forbidden Ones,' immense power that transcends human limits. Manipulating magic and operating in the shadows, a secret organization works on a terrifying biological project to create predatory monsters that feed on humans. These experiments rely on merging living human organs with DNA extracted from the last surviving man of a rare lineage that was completely annihilated; the genes of this lineage grant these monsters sharp intelligence and a strategic instinct that makes them infallible killing machines, with the goal of building an unstoppable intelligent army. Hidara’s journey begins when he and a group of teenagers attempt to rescue victims from the grip of a criminal gang, only to find themselves in a direct confrontation with those monsters and the organization behind them. As events escalate, Hidara discovers shocking truths about the lost lineage and secrets that link those around him to this dark fate. To survive in a world that does not pity the weak, Hidara finds himself forced to approach the 'Forbidden' and make fateful decisions that may change his very essence, ultimately choosing: will he remain human, or transform into something else?

He sacrificed everything and everyone to save her. Now she’s the monster he must kill. Zeek is a man running out of reasons to keep going. A wandering rogue turned pariah, he has spent years feeding the Heart of Sorrows—a living labyrinth built on ancient genocide, whose walls shift, whose dead rise, and whose hunger never ceases. He keeps returning for one reason: Lilliana. His wife. A woman of near-angelic descent who sacrificed herself for his survival and became the labyrinth’s unwilling queen in the process. Every expedition ends in failure. The blood of companions, hired blades, and friends alike stains his hands. Desperate and running out of time, Zeek assembles one final company: Verris, a brutal mercenary duty-bound to the men he lost inside those same walls; Kerris, a scarred archer who survived the labyrinth once and carries the grief of those who didn’t; Amon, a fire mage from Kemet who carries a reincarnated soul older than the corruption itself; and Heka, a Shu-Ra queen—a being the gods tried to erase from existence—who drifts in smoke beside the man she loves across lifetimes. Together, they descend into a nightmare that remembers them, adapts to them, and weaponizes everything they’ve ever lost. At its heart, The Labyrinth of Endless Grief is a story about love as an act of destruction. It encompasses the specific grief of watching someone you love become unrecognizable—not dead, but gone—and the terrible choices made in the space between who they were and what they’ve become. Zeek doesn’t just fight monsters. He fights his own hubris, his guilt, and the dawning realization that saving Lilliana may require destroying the last version of her that remains. The labyrinth doesn’t invent horrors. It finds the ones we never imagined carrying and leaves them with us.. This is a grimdark tragic romance inspired by Dragon Age: The Calling, the atmosphere of FromSoftware’s Souls series. Book One of the Heart of Sorrows trilogy.

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

Danny is an *Ancient Demi High Human Alpha*, also known as the *Luminaries Primordial Alpha*, a being who has lived for countless millennia. His magical power are vast, yet he chooses to use only simple abilities in daily life — super speed, strength, defense, regeneration, flight, invisibility, teleportation, and even instant cash when needed. Extremely cautious, he always scans his surroundings for witnesses or hidden cameras before using magic. Despite the ease with which he could become a tycoon, he finds such power boring. Instead, he prefers to live quietly, low key, and experience the modern world as an ordinary human. What the world calls magic… Danny remembers as infancy. He existed before structured mana systems, before academies, before ranking pillars tried to categorize power into numbers. In an age where reality was raw and unfiltered, he was not a student of magic — he was one of the forces that shaped how magic learned to behave. Fragments of ancient civilizations still carry echoes of him in myths: a silent traveler, a witness to collapses, a guardian who intervened only when extinction stood at the door. Entire bloodlines unknowingly descend from moments where he chose to spare a city instead of letting history erase it. But immortality breeds a unique fatigue. After watching empires rise and rot in repeating patterns, Danny stopped searching for meaning in dominance. The modern era fascinates him not because it is powerful, but because it is fragile. Humans pretending to control forces they barely understand amuse him more than any war ever did. The academy is not a goal. It is entertainment. A controlled ecosystem where ambition, fear, pride, and desperation collide in predictable ways. To him, it is a living experiment — a place to observe how this generation dances with power. Yet beneath his boredom lies instinct. Danny recognizes movements others cannot see: hidden organizations shifting pieces, forbidden rituals resurfacing under new names, cult structures repeating ancient mistakes he watched destroy worlds before. He does not intervene immediately. He never does. He waits. Because history has taught him one rule: Civilizations reveal their true nature only when they believe no god is watching. And Danny has mastered the art of pretending to be human long enough to let them forget. ---

EXCERPT✨ “Take off the towel and come here,” he commanded, his voice a rasp, his eyes darker than I’d ever seen them. His breath was too calm; he watched every deliberate slow step I took like a predator ready to catch his prey, and all my senses loved it. My body trembled in anticipation of being caught, of being his prey. To be devoured entirely by his love and more “happy ending?” I asked, my own voice sounding strange in my ears, his lips parted, curving into a slow, predatory smile that sent a shiver racing down my spine, making my knees weaken as I stood there, the towel clutched loosely around my body. --------- I stood in the doorway, no longer breathing, no longer really inside my own body. My eyes felt too wide, too raw, too empty. Something cold crawled down my spine. My voice barely rose above a whisper. “Whose wedding?” Silence; thick enough to choke on. I stepped into the room, each movement slow, heavy, as if my heart had sunk into my stomach. “Damien. Alina.” My throat trembled. “Whose wedding?” Alina looked like she was about to cry. Her fingers shook as she picked up Damien’s phone. She pressed it into my hand with a trembling breath. “It’s Nathan.” The name punched the air out of me. My gaze dropped to the screen. A single headline stared back at me, brutally clear. Nathan Carter engaged to Claudia Ravensworth. Wedding in 8 weeks. A strangled gasp tore its way up my throat. The world blurred. My knees nearly buckled. My fingers clamped around the phone as if letting go would make it real. Heat rushed to my face; Cold crawled down my chest. Everything inside me cracked at once.

Heaven was supposed to be perfect. That's what every one said. No hunger. No pain. No fear. No death. And no desire. Time didn't move here - it stretched. A peace so absolute it erased meaning itself. No adrenaline. No struggle. No reward. Dopamine didn't exist in heaven. I stood beneath a sky that never changed and finally understood the truth. This place was not a reward. it was a conclusion. "You may ask for anything", the voice said. God's voice carried no warmth, no cruelty - only certainty. "Then let's make a deal". Silence. The kind that bends reality. "I want to experience something real again. Fear. Pain. Desire. Regret. Give me a world that can hit my cells to feel things again." In other reality ...... "I should have stayed up there, THX 2 ME I'M DYING ##*#@>!#".

Once a scientist pursuing green energy and humanity's wellness, Ernest reincarnated in a Sword&Magic world as a baby. But his passion followed him in the form of a SSS Skill : Recycle

Synopsis! Yukie Saku, the Ancient Eye of Snow and Cold, has been stripped of much of her power. After witnessing signs of an approaching catastrophe, she arrives at the Grand Opera House seeking answers and assistance. There, she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite yet unreadable director of the opera house, descended from a once-great samurai house. To most, he appears formal and composed. That impression is far from the truth. Makoto is a Hunter of Deviants, over two centuries old, whose influence runs far deeper than anyone expects. When Yukie warns him of a looming force that devours Natural Energy and threatens entire lands, Makoto agrees to intervene- on one condition. Yukie must assist him with the growing threat surrounding the Grand Opera House itself. Stripped of her former power and sight, the goddess must rely on unfamiliar and improvised ways of wielding what power remains, forging fragile alliances while honoring the contract she has bound herself to. Thus, an uneasy partnership forms: an ancient deity seeking aid from a mortal she cannot fully understand, and a man of strict formalism bound by a divine contract. Their path leads into political intrigue, civilization-scale organizations that quietly support the world, and escalating supernatural conflicts, where power is proven through action, not words. Author’s Note! This story blends grand, intense battles with carefully chosen colors that reflect each character’s nature and themes. It unfolds within the refined atmosphere of a grand opera house, where waltzes, performances, and radiant spectacles are not just scenery, but core elements of the narrative. Through music, motion, and light, beauty and conflict exist side by side, balancing emotion with formality. Auxiliary Notice! For deeper character insight and additional world context, readers are encouraged to read the Auxiliary Chapters. Reading Style & Pacing! While the overall story progresses quickly, combat sequences are intentionally extended. These battles focus on movement, shifting power, and visual storytelling rather than heavy dialogue. Fights are written to feel cinematic, tense, and immersive, prioritizing atmosphere and action over exposition. I will do my best to keep every chapter engaging without slowing the narrative. A Note to the Reader If you enjoy: Ancient lore, Structured magic systems, Action-driven storytelling, Expansive cosmology, Multinational settings, Bold- color-focused imagery, and Long, visually rich battles, -then this story may be for you. Please read the synopsis below before diving in. Sankyuu! World Notes! Hunters - Hunters are wielders of the ancient Armament Arts- historic weapons forged through faith, discipline, and coexistence with spirits. These Arts allow Hunters to channel Natural Energy, granting power, precision, and spiritual authority in combat against Deviants. Note: Not everyone can become a Hunter. Inheriting an Armament Art and wielding Natural Energy is extremely rare. for Hunters, 1 year for them is 7 years-and their total life span is 100 years-thus they can live up to 700 human years. However, it may vary as it is possible for their lifespan to both decrease or increase. Deviants - Deviants are entities that consume and illuminate Dark Energy. They prey upon Natural Energy, the force that sustains life and balance across the world. Ancient Eyes - Ancient Eyes are old deities who have existed for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years. They were created to uphold balance and wield immense authority. At least, that was their intended purpose. Now, they are regarded as feared folklore beings, who rule vast domains across the globe.

Her husband was assassinated in broad daylight, in front of everyone. In the heart of the capital, under the eyes of an empire that claimed to be a protector. The execution was swift, almost silent. Officially, it was called an accident. They spoke of betrayal, of necessity. She said nothing. She cried. For days. For weeks. Then one detail caught her eye: a poorly placed lie, an inconsistency that no one else noticed. She began to investigate, and the more she dug, the more the world she knew started to crack. It was not an accident. It was not a mistake. Her husband had not been killed by chance. The day she discovered the true reason behind his death… and the names of those who had given the order… she did not scream, she did not shout. She went to his grave, knelt in silence, and whispered: “Sorry, darling… but I don’t think I’ll behave in your absence.”
