tragedy

A long time ago, a single being fell from the sky—a Fallen Angel? No one knows. But with him came glowing, divine tablets. As the world burned and crumbled, the tablets restored it—embedding themselves deep within the earth and leaving behind mysterious codes: living symbols of power, "Commands," that obey those who speak them aloud. Kingdoms rose, wars ended, and strength became law. But in the great kingdom of Koha, a child was born without a Code. Hakari Shinzowa was hidden, abandoned to the shadows of the palace, and erased from history before he could even walk. While others wield divine power effortlessly, Hakari survives through relentless training, human resolve, and a will that refuses to break.

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.

“If you hear the flute,” the villagers said, “turn away before it remembers your name.” Shen Qiyao didn’t. The melody that drifted through the bamboo was too familiar — like a dream he’d already lost. “Who are you?” he whispered to the shadows. The answer came as music.

Snow began to fall without warning. Wei paused beneath the pale sky, breath held, as if the cold had whispered something only he could hear. There was a name on his lips that he could not place. A warmth in his chest he could not explain. He feels things he cannot remember. He waits for someone he cannot name. In a town where winter never seems to end, silence carries more weight than sound — and forgetting feels heavier than loss. Some winters are not made of snow. They are made of things left behind.

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.

Recently, a reporter from the World Economic Journal risked their life to secure an exclusive interview with the pirate who had just risen to the rank of one of the Four Emperors—Louis Bardell. Now known across the seas as “Pirate Commodore Bardell,” he carries a reputation unlike any other. Every captain he had ever sworn loyalty to was dead. Capone “Gang” Bege. Gecko Moria. Shiki the Golden Lion. Charlotte Linlin. One after another, the giants of the era fell. And yet Bardell alone climbed higher. From subordinate… to survivor… to Emperor of the Sea. To the world at large, Bardell is the most cunning fraud of the Great Pirate Era—a master schemer, a manipulator of grand designs, an ambitious mind said to rival even Blackbeard himself. But when confronted by the reporter, the newly crowned Emperor nearly burst into tears. “They’ve completely lost their minds with these theories!” Bardell complained bitterly. “They keep saying I betrayed my captains from the shadows. Tell me—does anyone honestly think I’m smart enough to pull that off?” He looked genuinely aggrieved. “Every captain I ever joined died in some kind of accident. I don’t even know what’s going on anymore!” He threw his hands in the air. “And becoming one of the Four Emperors? That wasn’t even my idea! Big Mom was terrifyingly strong, and then—bam!—she was just gone! The next thing I know, everyone pushes me forward and says I’m the new Emperor!” He leaned toward the reporter urgently. “You’re journalists. Report the truth! Clear my name! Print more papers if you have to, alright?!” The reporter merely adjusted their glasses and calmly finished their notes. Observe closely. Even at the pinnacle of success, the great fraud remains flawless—careful, airtight, never leaving a single crack in his story.

Albion Ebonveil is five years old when he is dragged into the world of mages, monsters, and guilds. A child who should be weak… yet survives things he shouldn’t. Something about Albion is wrong. Even dragon slayers can sense it. This is a Fairy Tail fanfiction, but Albion does not join the Fairy Tail guild at the start. Instead, he is thrown into the shadows of Fiore, forced to learn about magic, power, and cruelty before he ever learns what it means to belong. As Albion searches for answers about his origins and the strange scent that follows him, he crosses paths with familiar faces like Gajeel Redfox, Juvia Lockser, and other fan-favorite characters — not as saviors, but as obstacles, allies, and warnings of the world he’s stepping into. This is not a story about becoming a hero. It’s a story about a child trying to understand what he is… before the world decides for him.

What awaits him is not just power but a truth that reshapes existence itself.

In a world where a rare few can manifest BioAether, the life force that grants godlike powers, humanity remains blissfully unaware of the hidden war simmering beneath its cities. Among those who awaken, power comes at a cost—shortened lifespans, relentless battles, and the weight of destiny itself. Hyazo Anaka, a bullied teenager with no desire for revenge, finds his life torn apart when he witnesses a clash between an unstoppable monster and the enigmatic teacher Kira Guishea. In that moment, something awakens within him—a vast well of BioAether capable of Aetherstrike and a mysterious stacking power that grows with each strike he lands. But the true horror arrives when the world’s first and most feared BioAether, Hanma Mamoguro, whose very presence invites destruction, becomes sealed within Hyazo, fusing their lifeforces. Now, Hyazo carries unimaginable power, but at a devastating cost: every battle risks losing himself, every victory threatens death, and every friend is a reminder of what he might destroy. As factions collide—the protective Altima Core, the aristocratic Aether Guild, the ruthless Daniel’s Mafia, and the anarchic Freedom Fighters—Hyazo must navigate a society that fears and hunts him, while learning the terrifying truth: the most powerful BioAether is no longer just a legend. It is inside him.
