tragedy

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● My tears fell in silence, without even daring to sob… until his tall shadow fell across the threshold. He stepped inside. Slowly. Heavily. His eyes… locked onto mine. The same eyes people said carried the scent of blood, burdened with a dark and haunted past. I was afraid of him… everyone was afraid of him. And yet, I was certain that behind that predatory gaze, another truth existed. His fingers, trembling with hesitation, reached for my face. His touch was so gentle that it was hard to believe those same hands had once clenched the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑), [a double-edged Chinese sword]. He stared into my eyes… but he did not see me. I could sense it. His gaze passed straight through me. With longing, he pulled me against his chest, as though he wished to chain my soul to his own. That was when I heard it; the fierce, thunderous beat of his heart beside my ear. My fear dissolved. I was calm. I clutched at his clothes and found stillness in the chill of his embrace... in the arms of the devil! He carried secrets too heavy for the earth to bury, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!

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

Alex Thorne had everything worth living for: a girlfriend who made him laugh, a family that believed in him, and the thrill of exploring untouched caves. He was kind. Optimistic. The guy who always saw the light. Then he opened the book that should have stayed sealed. Deep underground, an ancient altar whispered words he couldn't understand, yet they burrowed into his soul. An entity, ancient and broken, fused with him. Not to grant power. To feed on his pain. At first, it's just anger. A snapped word to his sister. A fight that ends with his girlfriend walking out forever. He apologizes, begs forgiveness, clings to who he was. But the whispers grow louder. Objects twist at his rage. Shadows obey his despair. The worse he feels, the stronger he becomes. Guilt becomes fuel. Isolation becomes strength. Loved ones become victims. He fights the thing inside him, until he doesn't. Until the apologies stop. Until the delight begins. What starts as a curse ends in apocalypse. Because some suffering doesn't end with one soul. It spreads. It repeats. Until there's but one soul to suffer.

Read the Auxiliary chapters for character insights. Hello Reader! If you love old lore, a dense magic system, action-first storytelling, sweeping cosmology, a multinational stage, bold color imagery, and fights that reward imagination and attention to detail - you might like this! Before you dive in, read the story synopsis. Sankyuu! Note: Deviants in this story are dark-energy illuminators, predators that feed on the opposing Natural Energy which sustains life and balance in the world. Ancient Eyes are primordial deities, beings who have lived for hundreds to thousands of years, created to uphold balance and wield immense power. Or at least, that was their purpose. They are folklore entities, widely known and feared, each ruling over vast domains across the world. If these concepts intrigue you, then don’t miss the story! Yukie Saku, the ancient Eye of Snow and coldness throughout the world, has been stripped of much of her power and comes to the Grand Opera House seeking answers. There she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite, inscrutable director from a once-great samurai house who, to the casual eye, seems merely formal and composed. What Yukie does not know at first is far darker: Makoto is not just a Hunter of Deviants, who's two centuries old, and a man with secrets that span generations, his grand depth is more than everyone thinks. When Yukie warns Makoto of an approaching doom, a force that feeds on Natural Energy and threatens whole lands, he agrees to help, but only on one condition: she must aid him in hunting Deviants. Stripped of much of her sight and power, the goddess must find ways to be useful, relying on wit, ritual, and fragile alliances to keep the bargain alive. An uneasy accord forms: an ancient deity asking for a mortal she cannot fully fathom, and a man of formalism binding himself to a divine contract. Their uneasy partnership will pull them through political intrigues, corporate scaffolding that holds civilization together, and escalating supernatural threats where every awakening is a test and every bargain carries a cost. This is Kiss X Reaper - a story of old gods, long lives, and the price of power. The story is participating in the Webnovel Spirity Awards, and I’d truly appreciate your supports. I’ll continue delivering high-quality writing and releasing two chapters a day for all of you. Thank you for reading and supporting the journey!

I am not a hero, but I once dreamed of becoming one. However, fate and the world conspired to shatter my dreams. This world was created by light and darkness, by heroes and villains. If everyone wants to be a hero, then who will be the villain? The world laughed at my suffering and called it justice. I used to believe them. I don't anymore. And so, I was forced into a role I never wanted—the villain. Yet every step I take feels like betraying those who love me, those who believed in me and sacrificed everything so I could survive. I am not a villain, nor are the others. There are no evil people in this world; they are victims of societal cruelty and the system. Destiny is not something you can reject… but you can choose how you live it. Darkness is not the opposite of light… it is where light is born and dies. And I? I am the end of everything.
