tragedy

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality burst in catastrophic light, And quake the earth across the night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound the world in grief’s most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet never found the words to seek amends. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the world. Wherefore to him whose destiny was reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new light. Until at last the final end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from that time on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

And now, he has caught the attention of the most powerful SSS-class dominant alpha, Jung Jae-min. Known as Kai, he is feared across the lands—a ruthless alpha no one dares to defy. And now, Rei finds himself trapped in Kai’s grasp, with no way out. Can Rei survive in a world where fate has already decided his place? Or will he carve out his own destiny—no matter the cost?

With only an hour left before the world ends, what can a person who has spent his entire life locked inside a small room possibly do… ? Fight! Not against fate—but against the only thing that ever trapped him there. Something that cannot be seen nor reasoned with. Only endured. And yet, even at the end of the world, nothing changes. Most people rush outside, chasing their final moments. But he, he doesn't. He stays. Alone. The story should have ended here. Instead, he finds himself at an empty cafe. Well… almost empty. Behind the counter, a barista polishes glasses as if the world isn’t about to disappear in forty minutes.

A mage from distant lands. Hated by the world, she carries its secrets to the lands of the immortal, the demonic and the divine, while being harassed by a certain Dark Lord. --- Author's note: I got bored so, I made this. My grammar isn't the best, plus I'm starting to suspect both my breaking keyboard and failing autocorrect is scheming against me, so sorry about that. I made this while drawing inspiration from my half-baked knowledge of different stuff I've read as well as a story I wrote in secret back in high school (that I never showed anyone, or finished). I wanted to include as many different things as I possibly could when i started writing this stuff which is probably why it is such a mess (especially the names. I wanted to use names from different places in the world, but it got confusing.) I don't want to offend anyone or make any statements on anything in my writing. It is mostly just for self-amusement. That being said, if you like it then good for you. And if you don't, then why are you still here? Shoo! Go! Get out of here! Anyways, enjoy! Oh look! My note is longer than the synopsis! Lets make it longer! Oh look, a butterfly! Whee! Byeeeee!

Zephyr spent his entire life trying his hardest, only to be told that he was worthless. With his eyes gone, he had long since accepted that this was all his life would ever be. But everything changed when he awakened as an SSS-Rank Esper and met Lucien. The man who became his salvation. But Lucien knew something Zephyr didn't. He was nothing more than a side character who died in the original story. ------------- ------------- Note: The cover is not mine. All credits go to the owner.

SOLD TO THE DEMON PRINCE My mother has sold three of my sisters to the flesh markets. I am next. I am Aurelia. My only worth is written in my face: my eyes—purple so rare that men kill for less. Let the auctioneer come. Let some lord or monster think he owns me. The moment his hands touch my skin, I will slice his throat and make a pudding of his blood. But I cannot run. Not yet. My youngest sister, Flavia, remains—an eleven-year-old genius trapped in this brothel my mother calls a home. My rage must be a shield, not just a sword. Five years ago, the dark creatures came. They poured from the northern wastes like a plague given form. They slaughtered my father. They burned our villa to ash. They took everything. Now I live in the Lupanar, Rome's most infamous brothel. My mother rules it with gold and cruelty. My sisters were sold one by one. And at dawn, the slaver comes for me. I have one chance. Flavia has been planning our escape for three months. She knows which guards sleep at which hour. She knows where Mother hides her coin. And she has found a man who owes me a debt—a soldier named Titus, who waits for us at the Porta Capena with horses and a promise. But Titus is not what he seems. My mother does not lose what she owns. And the dark creatures who killed my father are not the only monsters in this world. There is a prince. They say his gaze turns flesh to stone. They say he collects purple-eyed girls like coins. They say he has never looked upon a woman who did not die or turn to art. He has been searching for fifteen years. He has found two who survived. I will be the third. And I will ruin him...

She was the Adiand Empire’s hidden jewel, a name spoken only in sealed rooms. The former Emperor’s treasure. The hand behind the throne. She guided her son with merciless precision, erasing enemies while offering no warmth. Even freed, the bird returned to its cage. In the end, she died by her son’s hand. Then Ett awoke as her. Younger than him. Three years younger. “I will remain in the shadows,” she said. “I will ease your rule. We need not meet often.” He smiled, serene and wrong. “Mother may rest in my land,” he replied. “We will reunite when I die.” Too calm. Too devoted. Ett inhaled deeply. Are you cursing me to die when I'm barely hanging on for my dear life? Little kid, why are you talking about your death so calmly? You're still too young! Too dark, just too dark. This child is too mature, which is a little massive red flag. No, everybody here is just mad. Period.

The Day the Apocalypse Arrives—No One Has Privileges Anymore. It doesn't matter if you're a child, a man, a woman, or someone with a disability—if you want to survive, you must quickly grasp the rules of survival. Our only goal is to live—and to keep living.

Mana is the essence of the soul and what builds up life, those who are able to manipulate this energy are labelled as Witches. But as a minority, they were hunted nearly to extinction during the Dark Ages, but due to their perseverance they have survived until now. Even then the Witches now are nothing but used as tools, a Witch walking the same streets as a human is unheard of and even shamed, even having a Witch as a family member would end up in prejudice by others.

In a world fractured by the war of the Seven Sages, humanity clings to survival against monsters and corrupted magic. Iren, a boy born without power, watched his family perish in a night of fire and blood. Trained by the legendary Sage of Fire, Aetherion, he wields a transformable sword and embarks on a journey to master the legendary Five Elemental Rings — beginning with the Fire Ring. But mastery comes at a price. Each Ring tests not just strength, but the very essence of one’s emotions: rage, grief, resolve, freedom, and conviction. To claim them is to confront unimaginable trials and the shadow of his own past. As Iren faces the elemental Bodyguards, battles that defy both time and reality, he must rise above vengeance and despair to become the one destined to end the cycle of war. The Ring Vanguard is an epic dark fantasy of action, magic, and psychological trials — where courage alone may not be enough, and every choice carries the weight of the world.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.

"His father taught him to never yield. The heavens taught him otherwise. Gen is the son of the Invincible Immortal Jiang, raised on absolute power and absolute pride. In a world where cultivators command reality through the six Wheels of Destiny, Gen's unbreakable will made him a prodigy—and a fool." "When celestial enforcers descend to punish humanity's arrogance, Gen's world of security shatters in a single day. Cast into a desperate five-year mission to prevent annihilation, he charges forward like the arrogant genius he's always been—turning allies into enemies, pushing his closest friend Liang into the arms of the corrupt Dark Wheels, and treating the end of the world as his personal proving ground." "A duel with A being that should have killed him. A betrayal that cuts deeper than any blade. A defeat so complete it cracks his soul in ways cultivation cannot heal. For the first time in his life, Gen can't fight his way out."

May 21st, 2030. The day the sky turned white, the mist rolled in, and “they” arrived. I was just a 25-year-old game developer, freshly fired from my job, when the world ended. Exploding cars, screaming crowds, monsters with wings tearing through the city—and somehow, in the middle of it all, a brat calling me “uncle” wouldn’t leave me alone. Together, we’re trying to survive a world crawling with lizard-like creatures, ruined streets, and something far bigger lurking in the skies above. But I can’t help feeling like this invasion isn’t random… and maybe I’m not as ordinary as I thought. Action, survival, monsters, and dark comedy collide in this apocalyptic adventure.
