tragedy

When the world is torn apart by the Mass Outbreak Event, portals open across the globe, spilling monsters that reduce civilization to ruin. Amid the chaos, a mysterious System awakens—granting survivors strange powers, abilities, and the chance to fight back… if they can survive its trials. Jagger Ashton, a teenage survivor, should have died on the first day. Now burdened with a voice that isn’t his, powers he never asked for, and memories he can’t trust, Jagger must navigate a world where humans are as dangerous as the monsters tearing it apart. Every encounter tests the limits of his sanity and the fragile line between control and corruption. As he joins forces with other survivors, each hiding secrets of their own, Jagger begins to uncover a darker truth: The Outbreak wasn’t random. The System isn’t neutral. And something far worse is coming. To live, Jagger must decide whether to resist the thing growing inside him… or embrace it. One choice could save what’s left of humanity. The other could end it.

Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness.

And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince".

Setsuna Shū is a magical girl with temporal magic that allows her to go back to the past whenever she performs a certain action. She works as a magical girl, hunting monsters and helping people… or at least, that’s what she lets everyone believe. In truth, she made a contract with a demon so she could return to the past and rewrite the future. Her real reason for turning back time is to save her “sister.” As a child, she had no parents, relatives, or friends. When she was finally adopted, her sister became her entire world — and for her sake, Setsuna wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice the world itself. She gave up her original gender, her past “existence,” and even parts of her freedom in a demonic contract, all for the sake of saving her sister and taking revenge on the monsters that hurt her. But… is that really all there is to it? Or is Setsuna, in the end, partially responsible for everything that happened?

The arrival of Zack, a mysterious and formidable outsider, immediately casts a shadow of rivalry over Rider, challenging his path and his potential to become the true Sword Master.

I was just taking a quiet late-night walk when I found… a child sleeping inside a dumpster. One thing led to another, and suddenly I became the accidental father of a kid no older than ten. The next morning, I woke up from a vivid dream. A mysterious Victorian woman whispering about "calamity, dungeons, portals, another world… yeah, good luck bro." She said all of that in the most casually elegant Victorian tone imaginable. But the real nightmare started when a floating screen appeared in front of me, spouting nonsense about quests and objectives. The day I picked up a child in a dumpster was the day my ordinary life ended. And that was when our story truly began.

Looney Meek was born in Boston, Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials. After her mom is manipulated and r**** by a man in her town, she and her mother face persecution at the hands of those who were supposed to believe her and her mother. They were tried as witches and burnt at the stake; they punished as liars, mentally ill, and ruining the life of a man due to a time where patriarchy and misogyny led to heinous acts. However, Looney Meek forever lives on, becoming the ruler of The Sheep Keep, where she minds spirits that once lived and never questioned society and just blindly followed what they were told. Because of the sheep in her town, she was burnt alive at seventeen, and her story is still told throughout the centuries. Looney essentially becomes a fairy tale and even makes herself known to people when they sin because of patriarchal, political, social, and religious conforms, because she and her mother were victims of these reforms. She welcomes you, dear reader, to her story, her reborn body, and how she and her birds either drag sheep to her keep, or protect people that are at risk of becoming what she minds. Thank you for listening to her story, and welcome to the keep! (Verb tense changes due to her telling her story in the past and present). #feminist #gothic #confessional

After a devastating crash that should have ended his life, Pondaru Yamada wakes up in a body that isn’t fully his own—an unnervingly perfect shell branded with the mark of Project N4O-CHI, a blacksite program that erases humans and rebuilds them as living pleasure dolls. Stripped of his old world, Pondaru finds himself in a decayed cyberpunk underworld where neon lights hide cruelty, androids are discarded like broken toys, and survival often means losing the last pieces of your humanity. But Pondaru isn’t like the others. He bleeds. He hurts. He remembers things automaton like him shouldn't be capable of. Torn between the twisted kindness of a group of mercenary misfits and the looming shadow of the corporation that made him, Pondaru must navigate a world of lust, violence, and identity crisis—where every choice brings him closer to either reclaiming who he is, or becoming the product he was designed to be. In a city that devours the weak and worships desire, a place where compromise does not exist, one thought haunts him above all: If I bleed… then I must still be real…Right? *Check out my website [https://n4ochi.my.canva.site/] for a more polished, immersive experience.*

"Every adventure begins with a choice. A dilemma, sometimes a difficult one. A decision that will forever seal one’s own future." In a world ruled by strength and magic, would-be adventurers seeking glory and wealth come from all corners of Midgaïa to work for the Guild. A young, inexperienced elementalist, Lissandra, joins it and embarks on her first quest with a group of novice adventurers. However, they have no idea of the danger that awaits them outside the city where they have lived so peacefully until now. When a massacre erupts in the dungeon they have ventured into, a black knight, Sin, and his strange companion, Fenris, turn the tide of events. Is it divine will… or mere chance?

Everyone knows the legend of Tsugikuni Yoriichi — the almost divine swordsman whose strength and solitude made him untouchable even among the Demon Slayers. A man who shone like the sun… yet whose fate was forever marked by tragedy. But what if his story had taken a different path? What if, like Tanjiro Kamado, he had a brother who became a good demon—and one final chance to fight not only against evil, but against destiny itself? Born into the Tsugikuni bloodline, Hiru was adopted as the third brother of the prodigious twins—Yoriichi and Michikatsu. Yet unlike them, his fate diverged into shadow and flame. Between humanity and demonhood, brotherhood and destiny, Hiru’s existence would become the unseen thread that rewrote the story of the Sun Breather himself.

After reaching the peak of cultivation, Sai is reborn and abandons his pursuit of absolute power to walk the Dao of Teaching instead. In a declining sect, he accepts disciples from unlikely paths and guides them not through brute strength, but through understanding—of the Dao, of themselves, and of the cruel world they now belong to. But fate does not change quietly. Assassinations, hidden schemes, and forces moving from the shadows begin to tighten around the Four-Leaf Clover Sect. Each disciple is pushed toward choices that will scar their bodies, fracture their identities, and shape their destinies forever. In this world, survival is not decided by talent alone, but by how much one is willing to lose to keep moving forward. This is a story about balance and corruption, loyalty and manipulation, and the price of walking against the current of Heaven. This is an original work.

John Holden, a 20-year-old college student, has been drawn to the paranormal ever since his younger brother, Eli, vanished a decade ago. Haunted by the unanswered questions, John spends his life chasing the unexplained. When he hears rumors about Ashwood Park—a long-abandoned, overgrown park with a dark history—he is drawn to it immediately. But Ashwood Park holds more than whispers of the supernatural. It is the very place where Eli disappeared, and the air is thick with restless spirits. As John delves deeper into the park’s mysteries, he uncovers chilling truths that blur the line between obsession and reality—and finds himself confronting forces beyond comprehension. Ashwood Park is a gripping tale of grief, courage, and the terrifying unknown, where the search for a missing loved one may awaken more than just memories.

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!

In his past life, he died a hero. Reborn as Kai, he was gifted a golden future—until age eight stripped him of everything. Parents vanished. Bloodline broken. Left to rot in the mud while his fiancée ascended to the stars. For seven years, he was invisible. But when he finally touched the Affinity Prism, the Light didn't reject him. The Darkness claimed him. "Why struggle to chase the Heavens when you can simply devour them?" Armed with a forbidden power, guided by a mysterious fox, and commanding the legion of 'Crimson-Void Calamity', Kai rises from the shadows. He will not just rejoin the elite. He will drag them into his domain. The Sovereign has awakened.
