tragedy

The fourth prince of the weakest country, Ars. In an era where strengthening the body with mana is commonplace, he was born as the only royal without any mana. Shunned as a cursed child, he spent his days living in a warehouse used by servants. However, one day, by a twist of fate, he ended up absorbing an infinite source of mana into his body. From that day onward, his life changed dramatically. Determined to change his fate, Ars enrolls in a military academy, gathers comrades, and forms a unit. As the Ars Unit achieves great feats and grows into a major force within the military, they become entangled in all sorts of events. Territory management, wars with neighboring countries, rebellions, schemes, the shadowy influence of great powers lurking behind the conspiracies of the Garnet Church and the three major guilds… Through countless experiences, the unit, now called the "strongest unit", finally moves toward the establishment of a new kingdom.

The truth of reality might break you if you face it head-on. Celine, a nineteen-year-old male, teeters on the edge, ready to jump—until a lending hand reaches out. The beginning of the journey is just underway as events and mysterious entities begin to emerge. Will they find a way out, or will the entities defeat them?

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and we have got a long, exciting night ahead of us!" Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political constraints. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

After almost a year of torment in the hands of her husband, Seraphine Halveth found a breakthrough; her husband's death. Now that she is finally free from his binds, Seraphine plans revenge for everyone of those who betrayed her. Lucien Blackthorne was a man whispered about in fear and awe; ruthless, unyielding, and everything Seraphine should have avoided. Yet fate, cruel and relentless, had other designs. When Lucien uncovered her meticulously woven plan of revenge, he did not threaten to unravel it. Instead, he offered his shadowed aid. Two torches of vengeance met, and from their collision erupted a fire neither had intended. It was not love, but a hunger for possession—dark, consuming, and perilous. As Seraphine’s path of retribution wound ever tighter, a question gnawed at her heart: could she abandon vengeance, even for love, when her soul had been forged in blood and betrayal? If vengeance was the only thing keeping her alive, what remains when it is complete?

Rosa Mariel, the daughter of a powerful duke, lives a quiet and comfortable life in her family’s estate—until an unexpected visit changes everything. A baron from the Alasto family arrives, and Rosa soon learns the truth: her father and the royal family have already agreed to marry her off to him in just five days. The marriage is not born from love, but from politics. The royalist faction needs financial support, and the alliance with the Alasto family serves that purpose. With the princesses too important to sacrifice, Rosa becomes the chosen piece in a political game. Although she does not resent her father or the crown, Rosa cannot escape the heavy feeling in her chest. She is about to marry a man she barely knows. Yet Baron Alasto appears strangely honest about the situation. He proposes a practical arrangement—three years of marriage to fulfill the political alliance. After that, everything may change. Neither of them believes much in love, but they agree to face the future together under the weight of a marriage arranged by power and necessity. But after three years, will love begin to bloom between them… or will this marriage turn out to be nothing more than a nightmare Rosa Mariel must one day wake up from?

What if the world became a survival game… and you were the weakest player? Bruce wakes to a nightmare — a frozen wasteland where endless snowstorms devour the sky, monstrous beasts roam without restraint, and civilization has long since collapsed into ruin. The warmth of the old world is gone. Cities lie buried beneath ice. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction. Every survivor begins the same way: With a single bonfire. In this merciless land, all resources must be gathered by hand. Every log of wood, every shard of stone, every scrap of food is earned through blood and frostbite. Monsters attack without warning. The night is colder than death. And beyond the flickering light of the fire… something far worse waits in the dark. But Bruce is different. While others struggle to survive, he awakens with a mysterious Camp System — a power that allows him to build, upgrade, and evolve his shelter without limits. What begins as a fragile flame in the snow may become a fortress. A sanctuary. Perhaps even the foundation of a new civilization. As ancient, corrupted entities awaken and the truth behind this frozen apocalypse slowly unfolds, Bruce must decide: Will he merely survive? Or will he conquer the Absolute Cold Era? In a world where winter reigns supreme… the fire has only just begun to burn.

Eu fico imóvel. O homem diante de mim é grande demais para o espaço que ocupa. Alto. Largo. O tipo de presença que muda o peso do ar ao redor. Como se a sala tivesse ficado menor de repente. Cabelo escuro. Olhos frios. Tatuagens subindo pelo pescoço e desaparecendo sob a gola da camisa. Perigoso. Não no sentido comum da palavra. Perigoso como um animal que nunca aprendeu a ter medo. Tenho absoluta certeza de que nunca vi esse homem na vida. E ainda assim… Meu coração dispara. Forte. Rápido. Errado. Algo nele. No jeito que ele inclina a cabeça levemente enquanto me observa. No silêncio pesado entre nós. No olhar dele. Um arrepio sobe pela minha coluna. Meu corpo reage antes da minha mente. E então a memória me atinge. Violenta. Como um soco no estômago. Um parque abandonado. Balanços enferrujados rangendo ao vento. A grama alta tocando nossas pernas enquanto caminhamos. Risadas. Mãos entrelaçadas. Uma voz jovem… rouca… quente… dizendo meu nome como se fosse a coisa mais preciosa do mundo. O ar some dos meus pulmões. Eu dou um passo para trás. Minhas mãos começam a tremer. Não. Não. Não pode ser. Porque o garoto que eu conheci tinha dezessete anos. E o homem na minha frente parece capaz de quebrar o mundo ao meio. As lágrimas surgem antes que eu perceba. Minha visão fica turva. Meu peito aperta com uma força tão brutal que dói respirar. Meu Deus. Meu Deus. Eu conheço esse olhar. A realização vem devagar… cruel… inevitável. A mesma intensidade. A mesma presença. O mesmo silêncio perigoso que sempre existiu nele. Eu sinto o chão desaparecer sob meus pés. Minha voz sai quebrada. Frágil. Quase um sussurro. — Roman…? O nome escapa de mim como uma ferida que nunca cicatrizou. E no instante em que digo… Meu coração despenca no peito. Porque ele está me olhando… Como se eu fosse completamente louca.

METRO GENESIS by Ada. The year is 3044. Humanity made it this far. Barely. AI got sorted eventually, redirected toward handling the tedious, the administrative, the soul-crushing weight of daily existence so humans could spend time doing things that actually required being human. A noble vision. Metro City found a way to make even that sinister. Metro City was never a good place to live. It was, however, always a spectacular place to disappear, into its rain-slicked streets, its corporate towers, its carefully maintained illusion that someone, somewhere, had things under control. Buried beneath that illusion was the Nemesis Protocol Unit. Black ops. Off the books. The agency that handled the problems polite society preferred to pretend didn't exist. The NPU didn't officially exist. It was also the only thing standing between Metro City and complete collapse. For nearly as long as the NPU existed, there was NexoPharma. Gleaming towers. Government contracts. The kind of respectability built on strategic donations and carefully placed allies. Ask anyone on the street what NexoPharma was really doing in those labs and they'd lower their voice and say the same thing: bioweapons. They weren't wrong. In 3034, rookie agent Adrian Cole was assigned to NexoPharma Tower. Routine investigation. Get in, gather evidence, get out. It was not routine. The tower caught fire. The kill teams mobilized. His senior partner went back for him when he didn't have to, pushed Adrian clear, and didn't make it out. Adrian crawled from that building on two broken ankles, alone, with the sound of screaming that stopped too soon ringing in his ears. He spent two weeks in hospital. He spent the next ten years trying to deserve it. By 3044, Adrian Cole is the Ace of NPU, the best field agent the Nemesis Protocol Unit has ever produced. Decorated. Relentless. Still haunted. The kind of man who walks into situations that break other agents and walks out with the truth still intact. Metro City is working on fixing that. Above him sits Elias, NPU's iron-spined higher up, a man who has survived long enough to know exactly which questions you ask out loud and which ones you take permanently to your grave. He gives Adrian enough information to complete the mission. Never quite enough to understand what the mission actually is. Then there is Garrick, pilot, transport specialist, and somehow the most aggressively normal human being in this entire story. We are enormously fond of him. We are also deeply concerned for him. There is also Marcus. That's all we're saying about Marcus. You'll understand why. And finally, Aveline. Ace of the Crime Division. Half Canadian, half Russian. The kind of dangerous that doesn't announce itself. She is a psychopath, this is not a plot twist, not a slow revelation, not a dramatic chapter reveal. Everyone who works with her knows it. Everyone who works against her really knows it. She is not looking for redemption. She was never soft. She looked at Metro City in all its corruption and decided the correct response was not to fix it, but to be better at it than everyone else in the room. Not sweet. But definitely a psycho. Metro City is rotting. The Nexo Incident has begun. The corporations are panicking quietly, violently, and with excellent legal representation. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, an agent running on borrowed time and a woman who never needed a reason are about to find out exactly how deep Metro City's rot goes. It goes very deep. Nobody is ready. Least of all you. Welcome to Metro Genesis. Try not to get attached.

"Could you survive a horror movie?" That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends are lured to Carousel, a malevolent, inescapable town where horror movies come to terrifying life. Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Archetype, a minor support class with a nasty habit of dying early in the script. At first resigned to a fate of dying over and over again, his luck changes when he unlocks the trope. As long as he can convincingly pretend he hasn't noticed the monsters and slashers hunting his team, they cannot harm him. At first, the ability appears to be a cruel joke. But in Carousel, the script is everything. Riley realizes that with a little bit of acting and some clever exploitation, his "useless" class might just be his greatest strength. What to expect: - Strategic LitRPG gameplay and clever exploitation of movie tropes. - Perilous storylines pulled straight from your favorite horror subgenres. - Creative and deadly twists on classic horror movie clichés. - Moderate stats-based strategy where outsmarting the script is better than out-punching the monster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Original Novel and not a Fan-Fiction!!! The author of this novel is 'lost_rambler'. I found this and upload it here with some edits. If the original author wants it removed then contact me.

A reincarnated man harbors a twisted ambition: he longs for a grand, cinematic death before the eyes of the world, seeking to leave behind a grief-stricken memory that never heals. Yet, a singular obstacle thwarts his desire—his own overwhelming, god-like power. He possesses the devastating strength of Alfia in a male form, but without the debilitating illness that once crippled her. Coupled with the "Liaris Freese" skill, which drives his growth to ever-escalating heights, he has become an invincible monster. No matter how much he yearns for his end, death remains perpetually out of reach.

Kaito Hoshino was never meant to be a fighter. Shy, awkward, and constantly pushed around at school, Kaito had learned one simple rule of survival: endure quietly and don’t stand out. Confidence was for other people. Strength belonged to monsters he only saw from afar. Everything changes when his mother leaves on a long business trip and sends him to stay with his cousin, James, for a month. At first, it’s just an awkward family visit—until Kaito accidentally witnesses James fighting. Clean movements. Calm control. Real skill. For the first time, Kaito doesn’t wish to be popular or feared. He just wants to stop being helpless. What begins as simple self-defense training slowly becomes something more. Through bruises, failures, embarrassment, and small victories, Kaito starts to change—not overnight, not magically—but step by painful step. Back at school, new friendships form. Old bullies grow cautious. Jealousy brews. Trust is tested. And beyond the school walls, something darker waits—worlds of violence, gangs, and fighters far stronger than anything Kaito can imagine. This is not the story of instant power. This is the story of earning strength, of growth through hardship, of losing fights and standing back up. And when the real monsters finally appear… Kaito Hoshino will have to decide what kind of fighter—and what kind of man—he wants to become. Main Themes Realistic growth & slow progression School life mixed with street combat Brotherhood, trust, and betrayal Comedy, awkward moments, and emotional depth Fighting skill earned through pain and effort Power gaps — losing is part of growth
