tragedy

In the fog-shrouded pines of Baguio City, where mist conceals more than it reveals, Laevathan Guanzon bears a silent curse: his family deals in stolen children, and every friend who draws near him vanishes into the whispers. A new girl arrives—Kathriene Wang, fleeing a shadow from her past that refuses to fade. Ignoring the warnings, she seeks him out, offering friendship in the cold mountain air. Slowly, amid rain-soaked walks and hidden confessions, something fragile ignites between them. But love here is laced with deception. Her stalker draws closer. His family's sins stir. And as the fog thickens, one truth emerges: she may be using him to erase her own nightmare forever. In paradise's poisoned embrace, trust dissolves, hearts betray, and the mist hides what neither can escape.

The night Kang Tae-Hyun uncovered the truth about his own company, he was murdered. He should have stayed dead. Instead, he wakes up in the body of a forgotten young man, in the same city where his empire still stands—and where his killers now rule. With a body that no longer follows human limits, Tae-Hyun returns to his world from the shadows, hiding his identity while preparing his revenge. But when he crosses paths with a brilliant young scientist working inside the very project that changed him, his perfectly planned comeback begins to fracture. Because she isn’t afraid of him. And she may be the only thing stopping him from becoming something inhuman.

Of course, every human on Earth is to follow their desires. It is what defer the reality of life. That it has no meaning. When we reached the critical point of humanity’s technological pursuit, we found something else entirely. Forth is a student riddled with these empty desires. One would say that his desires are noble, that it is wholly productive in a world consumed by progress, entertainment, and aimlessness. Even as he earned his life as a magnanimous scholarship student, he finds his body discontent with the life he has. Ditching the prestigious life of chains and bonds to pursue a new life in one of the most unforgiving slum, he finds himself tethered to that something else. ANGREIFER, an overhyped piece of entertainment, some would say it’s a second world, without doubt. Lesser known is why every possible entity is ditching their agenda and ruined world to herd people to live in a faux life, a fantasy of humanity. But there’s no escape now… His self-made conditions are knocking at the door. NOTE Maybe that door will come a hundred thousand words in. This is not a book for the light of reads. Go read slop and performative slop if you want. Critiques are welcomed, I won't respond, though. Maybe a like if you're well spoken. Thank you, and your efforts to read will be rewarded. This work is clearly a meta-narrative, if you catch the references, sure. Go on. Don't expect to catch all, but do signpost in the paragraph comments if you think you see one.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

the fractured kingdom of Eldrath, where humans forge uneasy alliances with elves against endless hordes of orcs, ogres, and werewolves, Derk stands as a living legend of war. Towering and battle-scarred, wielding the colossal spear-sword Bonebreaker, he carves through monsters with unrelenting fury. Yet beneath the rage lies a single tether to humanity: Layla, the silver-haired half-elf healer whose gentle touch and quiet strength are the only things that keep his demons at bay. Together with his lifelong comrade Varg—charismatic, golden-haired, and rising swiftly toward the rank of general—the trio forms an unbreakable force. Varg’s tactical brilliance and easy charm have earned him the loyalty of soldiers and the admiration of allies alike. On the blood-soaked battlefields of Thornhold Gate and beyond, they fight side by side, turning the tide against King Gorvath’s savage legions who kidnap and defile human women as trophies of conquest. But the full moon brings more than monsters. Ancient curses stir in the shadows, and whispers from forgotten powers begin to twist even the strongest bonds. As victories pile higher and the war grows ever more brutal, cracks appear in what once seemed unbreakable trust. Derk’s world is built on blood and loyalty—yet when the night of betrayal arrives, it shatters everything he thought he knew. A dark fantasy epic of visceral combat, graphic savagery, forbidden desires, and heartbreaking loss. For readers who crave the raw intensity of Berserk, laced with tragic romance and shocking turns that leave no one unscathed.

Wein should have died the night his village burned. A savage blade slit his throat and left him among the corpses of people who had always treated him like a curse. But when the sun rose, Wein opened his eyes. The near-death experience awakened something hidden deep within his blood—two rare bloodlines and a spiritual essence powerful enough to drag him back from death itself. With nothing left behind but ashes, Wein begins walking toward the wider world. In the Emerald Kingdom, power belongs to those who can seize it. And Wein has already crossed the boundary between life and death once. He has nothing left to fear.

In 2104, The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt.

Five years after the fall of the Iron Throne, Westeros breathes, but only barely. King’s Landing is quieter, the great symbols of power reduced to ash and memory. The throne itself is gone, melted into nothing, leaving behind a kingdom ruled not by spectacle but by watchfulness. At its center sits **Bran Stark**, a king who sees more than any ruler before him. Some call it wisdom. Others whisper darker things, that control without passion can become another form of chains. To the north, **Jon Snow** lives in exile beyond the Wall. He tells himself it is penance, a choice made for the realm. But peace is fragile, and rumors have begun to move like shadows across the sea: black wings in distant skies, sightings of a dragon long thought lost. The last dragon. **Daenerys Targaryen** was dead, or so the world believed. Her body vanished in the chaos of war, and Drogon, the final living dragon, disappeared with it. Some said he carried her east, mourning his queen. Others insisted the flames had taken everything. No proof remained. No answers. Only silence. But legends do not die easily. Across the Narrow Sea, whispers grow. A queen seen in shadows. A dragon’s cry in the night. Stories that should not exist. Meanwhile, in the shadows of Westeros, **Arya Stark** moves like a ghost, investigating truths that others prefer buried. What she discovers threatens to unravel everything—the past, the present, and the fragile peace built after years of war. Suspicion spreads. Alliances fracture. Old wounds reopen. And somewhere, far beyond sight, something waits. The return of a queen. A choice no kingdom is ready to face. A war that may not resemble the last. Because some endings are only beginnings in disguise. And the greatest danger is not what we remember—but what we refuse to believe.

BORN ZERO In a world where demon gates tear open without warning and only awakened hunters stand between humanity and annihilation, Kai Voss is nothing. No rank. No power. No future in a world that has already decided what he's worth. He accepted that. He trained anyway, ran until he threw up, lifted until his hands bled, told himself that ordinary didn't have to mean useless. He was fine with being human in a world that had moved past human. Then his father went to buy milk and never came back. A demon killed him. A low ranked one. The kind that should have been cleared before it ever reached a residential street. The kind that a real hunter would have handled in seconds. Kai couldn't do anything. He was six minutes away and completely, humiliatingly useless. That was the night he stopped accepting it. Eighteen months later, on a dark street in front of a child he'd never met, something inside Kai that three separate tests had sworn didn't exist finally cracked open. And what came out wasn't C-rank. Wasn't B-rank. Wasn't anything the Hunter Association had a name for yet. Now the demons are noticing him. And so is she — Rael, who fights like a hunter but isn't one, who knows things about Kai she shouldn't, who smiles like everything is already decided and he just doesn't know it yet. She's dangerous. He knows it. Doesn't seem to matter. Born Zero is a progression fantasy about a boy who was told he had nothing — and what happens when nothing turns out to be the most dangerous thing in the world.

The only game in my life that makes me laugh: The Lands of The Lunerra... I played this game for six thousand hours in three years, and the day I thought I had done everything I could in this game, I felt a great emptiness inside me. I thought nothing in my ordinary and monotonous life could make me happier than when I played this game. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong with an e-mail I received the night I finished the game. ---- Hi! Thank you to everyone who came to read this story. There are two things I want to tell you. First of all, I first started writing this about two years ago, but I was writing in my native language, Turkish, and on a different site. But unfortunately, the website where I published the series came to the brink of collapse. While I was thinking about where to publish the series, I remembered Webnovel and here I am. So this is my first English novel and I believe I will make mistakes while translating. Please forgive me for these if you encounter some of them. I will do my best. Second... yes, while writing this novel I was inspired by most of the novels I've read so far. Like TNE, that novel is a pure diamond for me and I don't think I will ever reach the level of that thing. So I want to say the first few chapters may feel familiar to you, but I'll do my best to smooth it out. Discord: https://discord.gg/eRZTrv6Y49

But in the shadows, plans are being hatched. Human lives are being traded. Sarah doesn't know it yet, but she has already been chosen.

He survived the Third Great Ninja War. He rose to Vice Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force. And he watched. He watched as Uchiha Fugaku led the clan deeper into isolation.
