tragedy

A dying cultivation universe sends its last knowledge forward through reincarnation. In the space between worlds, it collides with an AI from a collapsing Earth - advanced technology carrying a scientist's preserved mind. The AI consumes both to survive: forty-seven billion years of perfected cultivation and the scientific mind to make sense of it. It binds everything to a new soul in a young world. Wang Ben doesn't remember his past lives. He just knows things no one in this universe should - cultivation methods that waste almost nothing in a world that wastes almost everything, and the instinct to hide what he can do. The AI remembers what killed the old universe. It filters that knowledge behind locked permissions and functionality gates. Some things, it insists, are more dangerous to know than to face.

Sagiri was never meant to exist. After his entire clan was wiped out he is the only surviving member and the last keeper yet he doesn't remember. Raised in secrecy and sent to Galka War Academy, he survives among boys trained to kill, endure, and obey. While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity. The Echo is the legacy of the N’garu, a legendary clan erased from the world in a single night. They were warriors who could slip between moments, speak to the shadows of the past, and reshape fate with a thought. Their extinction was celebrated across the tribes. Their return is feared more than war. Sagiri carries the last spark of their power. A whispering presence tied to his heartbeat. A force that chooses its own master. But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind. Forgotten beings turn their eyes. And the world begins to shift around him. The South wants to crown him. The North wants to erase him. The Echo within him wants something else entirely. And it has finally awakened. https://discord.gg/gMa9tend

Twenty‑one‑year‑old Sorrel only wanted a normal night out. Instead, her date turns dangerous—too fast, too suddenly—and she runs for her life into the one place no human should ever enter: the Veilwood. The forest should have rejected her. Its boundaries have been sealed for a century, swallowing anyone who tries to cross. But Sorrel’s terror awakens something ancient inside her. Her dormant Sovereign Arcana flares to life, opening the Veilwood’s barrier just long enough for her to slip through. The forest senses her fear… and chooses her. Crossing the threshold triggers the Sevenfold Binding, tethering Sorrel to seven powerful men whose magic answers hers: a storm‑touched warrior, a shadow‑born spy, a wildfire mage, a gentle healer rooted in earth, a silver‑tongued illusionist, a moon‑blessed seer, and the boundary‑breaker who should not exist. Their fates are now tied to her survival. Their instincts sharpen around her. And the Veilwood itself begins to wake. Hunted by the prince who destroyed her family, Sorrel must learn why the forest opened for her—and why the Arcana has returned after a century of silence. But the deeper her bond with the Seven grows, the more dangerous her destiny becomes. The Veilwood did not choose lightly. And Sorrel is no one’s pawn. To survive, she must decide whether to run from the power inside her… or rise as the Sovereign the realm has been waiting for.

Mikael never believed in fate. Until fate dragged him across centuries. One moment he was driving home after work. The next — he woke in a freezing cave beneath an unfamiliar sky… in a world that shouldn’t exist. Warriors kneel to a crown. Magic breathes in the wind. And history is still alive. The first person he sees is a girl with silver-blonde braids and eyes that carry an entire era within them. “You stand in the Kingdom of Hrafnheima, stranger… Who are you?” He doesn’t know. Because the moment their queen appears — the air itself trembles. Queen Annýbjörg Fríðadóttir. Mother of Fairies. Ruler of the realm. Everyone bows. Everyone… except him. No fear. No pressure. Only recognition. He has never met her. So why does his heart remember? Now trapped in an ancient world of kingdoms, magic, war, and creatures from forgotten legends, Mikael must uncover the truth: Did he travel to the past… —or did the past come looking for him?

Six guardians. Five demons bound by blood. One lie holding the world together. On the last human continent, demons wage an endless war against mankind.

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”
