trauma

In a world that has forgotten its own creation, the cycle begins again. Long before memory, the universe was shaped by fragments of unimaginable power—stones that carried will, purpose, and consequence. In the modern city of Sagar, three ordinary students begin to feel the echo of those fragments awakening within them. Vaibhav, burdened by a crystal that remembers countless deaths. Shlokh, whose voice resonates with balance and authority. Shourya, who glimpses futures he pretends not to notice. As exams end and winter approaches, reality begins to fracture—memories blur, dreams bleed into waking life, and an unfamiliar presence steps closer from the shadows. This is not a story of heroes chosen by fate. It is the story of a cycle that never stopped… And of what happens when creation begins to remember itself.

In a world ruled by elemental power, a boy is born with a forbidden vein that should not exist. Hunted by the government and feared by society, Tomora must survive a cruel world that chooses peace over justice. As ancient powers awaken and humanity reveals its true nature, he is forced to decide whether this world deserves to be saved or erased.

A tormented man flees through a cosmic void, haunted by fractured reflections of himself and the crushing weight of existence. After enduring starvation, terror, and physical agony (including being flayed alive), he reaches the Cathedral of Cosmos – a realm of terrifying, incomprehensible divinity governed by the Indomitable Magistrate. The Magistrate, a being of chilling indifference and cruel mockery, confronts the man. He resurrects the man’s greatest pain: the memory of his wife and child, incinerated in war. Forced to relive this trauma, the man is then compelled by the Magistrate to ritually flay his resurrected wife using a "Bayesian Blade," transforming her suffering into a perverse sacrament called the "Liturgy of the Flayed." Her final words affirm eternal hatred born of suffering. When the man attacks the Magistrate in rage, his defiance is effortlessly crushed. The Magistrate concludes with a musical performance underscoring the Cathedral’s core truth: all meaning is inverted. Pain is love, cruelty is compassion, and suffering is the only transcendent sacrament in a universe devoid of gods, hope, or redemption. The man’s journey ends not in salvation, but in the absolute acceptance of torment as his only reality.

Hikari no Kuro (Black of Light) He was born into violence. Trained by sixteen. Forced to kill by seventeen. By eighteen, Kuro did not inherit Tokyo’s underground. He absorbed it, until his silence ruled louder than screams. For twenty years he wore a scar under his eye and blood on his knuckles. His father built a king; Kuro became a monster who believed he deserved no light. Then he vanished. No war. No funeral. Just rain, a battered T9 phone, and a throne he abandoned only after making sure it would not collapse without him. Hikari was never meant to meet him. She has spent her life learning how to disappear: shaking hands, hidden bruises, a breath that catches when men get too close. She does not believe in rescue. Only survival. When violence corners her in a dead-end alley, Kuro sees her. Not a victim, not a ghost, but someone worth pulling back from the edge. Even if the calm he wears stops holding. This is not a love story. It is a covenant written in bone and forty-three seconds of silence, between a woman who believes she is ash..., and the man who knows ash still burns. Because even in the purest light... a shadow always lingers. ! Content warning ! : violence, trauma themes, harassment. Chapter-specific CWs provided.

One in ten awakens changed. The rest decide what that change is worth. In a near-future America scarred by the Great Pulse, the world is divided between "branded heroes" and those the system wants to erase.

When a handful of broke, ordinary strangers begin pushing back, they discover a terrifying truth: The system isn't broken. It was built this way. Shadows of Liberty is a story of survival inside a nation that asks its children to save it, then punishes them for trying. When the torch you were raised to revere burns the hands holding it, do you keep carrying it… or do you finally let it fall?

In a grim, decaying city plagued by rising crime and moral collapse, a string of brutal and bizarre killings sends shockwave through the population. Each murder is different, some ae messy, others surgical. Men, women, children and even the elderly – no one is safe, and no patterns connects the victims. The only common thread? At each scene, the killer leaves a yellow rubber ball with a hand-painted sinister smile — the smileball. The media spirals into hysteria, calling the killer 'The smile', while police are left paralyzed by the sheer randomness of the murders. Leading the investigation is Detective Leo, a logical and seasonal detective, with his partner Alex, a shy and quiet officer. And his childhood best friend. ———— I will post one chapter a day!

Between light and shadow… he is the judgment he never wanted to awaken. Are demons solely responsible for corruption, or is it humanity itself that nurtures the darkness within? Elior Blackwood seemed like an ordinary young man, marked by routine and the weight of a past that haunts him. However, beneath that facade lies a truth… his life was shattered after losing his family in a tragedy he never overcame, and since then he has lived with a consuming rage and a suffocating loneliness. But in a world where angels and demons wage battles hidden from mortal eyes, Elior is much more than a victim. Pursued by celestial and abyssal forces, bearing a power he doesn't even understand, he will be forced to confront what he fears most: himself. Will he be able to keep his essence intact and find something beyond hatred and sorrow? Or will he be consumed by the shadow of a cruel fate, where even those who love him could become his weakness? A story of struggle and redemption, where the line between light and darkness is more fragile than it seems.

The world had changed long before anyone remembered. Humanity had grown comfortable in the illusion of choice—but in truth, every heart was bound. Every desire, every craving, every shadow of anger, greed, or envy was no longer just a flaw. They were alive. They walked among the living. The Seven Sins were not stories whispered to scare children. They were real, hidden in plain sight, moving from one human vessel to the next with every passing generation. And no matter how hard anyone tried, they could not be destroyed… or avoided. Since time immemorial, one organization had existed in the shadows. They were called Aerin, the keepers of a single and fragile, hope. They hunted those rare humans who were born with a mysterious power, a force deep within the soul known as Rin. Those who awakened Rin were known as Aeri, who could resist the influence of the sins, fight against them, and—perhaps—change the fate of the world. Now, a boy was about to rise who was cloaked in weakness and doubt, unaware about his fate, that would soon be tied to this ancient power. Every choice he made, every step he took, would draw him deeper into a battle older than memory, where the sins were cunning, relentless, and invisible to all but those chosen by Rin. The world teetered on the edge, and no one knew how far the sins would reach before someone finally dared to fight back.

As they search for a way out, they uncover a chilling truth about the forest and realize that not everyone who enters… ever truly leaves. This is a world where memory is a weapon and reality is unstable. When your mind starts lying to you... what's left to trust?

“I like the name. Glass Fang. Has a nice contradiction to it, doesn’t it? Something sharp, something fragile. Pretty. Breakable. Deadly._ That’s what they see when they look at me— Glass. A quiet girl with shy smiles and average scores. Invisible, forgettable, fragile. They don’t see the fang underneath. The venom. The bite that tears the throat out of their perfect little hero machine. I go to class. I take notes. I wear the stupid glasses and laugh when they want me to. Then at night, I rewrite the world from below. They call her Nyxshade now. But really, she’s just me. Without the leash. This story isn’t about heroes. It’s about the lie they wrapped the world in— And the girl sharp enough to shatter it. Glass Fang. Remember the name. I’ll make sure it’s the last thing they ever choke on.”

Imagine, from birth, the only expectation your mother had from you was to make her life wishes come true, without giving you any type of proper guidance to do so, and on top of that, your father is the biggest irresponsible moron who has no sense of consequence whatsoever. You live in a family of snakes that pretend to be saints, but the moment someone makes a mistake, everyone jumps over to devour them. You constantly search for good things in them, but they repeatedly remind you that there's almost nothing good about them. In such a horrendous environment where goodness and love are hard to find, what do you think you'll become? Would you run away? Maybe search for love outside? Or will you stay and become a twisted version of yourself to better suit your environment? *** I thought wish-fulfillment systems were supposed to be easy and rewarding —so why the hell is my system so cheap and grueling? My name is Deven Silva, and I was hopelessly living my boring and pathetic life when one morning I woke up and saw a very common translucent panel before my eyes. I thought my life was going to go uphill from now on, but guess what, my life had other plans. Because, for better or for worse, the restraints I had for my darker self were getting loose. However, in my head, I only had one question: "Is it okay to let loose the monster that I was holding back from my childhood?" * * [Ding~] [Host has been found.....Binding the system with the host.] [Binding failed....Error....Error....The host is not worthy....Searching for a solution.....Solution found....Activating emergency protocol......Activated.] [Ding~] [Downgrading the system to the host's level..........] [Ding~] [Downgrade complete.] [Ding~] [Self-improvement system activated.] [Welcome, Host] * * * * _Note - This story is going to be more focused on slice of life, family drama, and inner moral conflicts and struggles of the MC, so if you're looking for fast-paced wish-fulfillment, then this is not the story you're looking for. _Disclaimer - This is a work of fiction.

As devotion deepens, the boundary between self and beloved begins to vanish—body and soul. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ When Lucien falls in love, he does so with a frightening devotion. What begins as an intoxicating queer romance—soft touches, shared breath, whispered promises—slowly curdles into something far more intimate and far more grotesque. Lucien does not just want to love his partner. He wants to become him. Tooth by tooth, scar by scar, organ by organ, Lucien replaces himself with the man he adores, convinced that true love means total union. As bodies blur and identities dissolve, the line between devotion and erasure vanishes. The beloved becomes a shrine. The self becomes a sacrifice. And Lucien’s pursuit of perfect closeness descends into a waking nightmare of obsession, bodily horror, and existential collapse.

For more than a century, humanity has lived with the knowledge that it is no longer alone at the top of the food chain. The Ravengers were once human, but time and hunger carved them into something else entirely. They hunt people openly, tearing through cities, roads, and forgotten places alike—some because they must, others because they enjoy the fear that comes with it. No one pretends coexistence is possible. Organizations exist solely to track them down and erase them, yet the world remains soaked in blood, caught in a war that never truly ends. Violence in this world is not distant or heroic. It is close, slow, and devastating, leaving behind bodies, broken minds, and scars that do not fade. Survival demands cruelty, and mercy often comes at a fatal cost. This is not a story about saving the world. It is about what humanity becomes when living means being hunted—and how much of itself it is willing to lose just to stay alive.
