tragedy

This was a dark age, a time when human beings were worthless and the world was in turmoil. The imperial family declined, nobles begged for food, and generals survived on handouts. In Owari Province, surrounded by warlords like hungry wolves, a young man, derided as the "Owari Fool," quietly opened his eyes to a contempt for all. He was Oda Nobunaga. As rugged and unrestrained as the Overlord of Western Chu, he once focused on martial arts and ignored government affairs, facing the despair of his father's sudden death and the restlessness of his retainers. It wasn't until a loyal retainer, in the most tragic way possible, shed his blood in a final act of persuasion that the dormant demonic nature and ambition for dominance awakened within him. From then on, starting from Kiyosu Castle, he ascended the ladder of blood and fire.

For Gus, Kristine and Patrick. A tale of lust, power and sin. Kuropachi, the eternal promise.

There is a great mystery surrounding the Towers. Nobody can provide a unique answer as to why they appeared. There'd always been mystical things in the world, but never a wish-fulfilling hub of challenges, which lures in greedy men and women to their potential demises. Worthy, a 12-year-old child from Malas Town, a run-down, forsaken slum far beyond the walls of the "Kingdom" decides to test his luck by climbing Aciago Tower—presumed to be the most challenging Tower in the world. No one has made it more than halfway through, and countless people find themselves trapped within. The temptation to climb is irresistible to those who have nothing to lose. Those who reach the top floor will have their wish granted, and those who fail will perish. For the sake of his family, Worthy is willing to push aside everything and ride whoever's coattail he needs to reach the peak of Aciago Tower. Yet, he may have a more damning time than he might've anticipated. The Tower is full of more mysteries and horrors than the outside world can possibly imagine, and he finds himself at the center of it all. Equipped with abilities bestowed by the Tower, his dreams to reach the top seem so close, but at the same time, so impossibly far away.

I transmigrated into the worst possible world of One Piece: a Celestial Dragon slave, a mermaid hybrid, and marked on my collarbone. But I know that in the West Sea, there is a blue-eyed girl on the run. So when I was twelve, I found ten-year-old Robin, gave her a bag of bread, three Berries, and a sentence she spent her whole life proving: "Knowledge is innocent." Then I turned around and joined the Navy. I was taken away by Vice Admiral Tsuru to become his disciple, trained by Vice Admiral Garp, and nurtured by Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I climbed to the position of general, my hands stained with countless lives, and built my web of power. I thought I could control everything, until the peacock died in my arms. From that day on, something shattered completely. His naval colleagues began privately referring to Admiral 'Cloud Fox' as "the silver-haired mad dog." It doesn't matter. I would rather become a disciple of the Five Elders, the Financial Martial God, and become Im's sharpest proxy, than hide my ambitions and purposes in the vortex. Hancock loves me, Vivi falls for me in a political marriage, Nami says my embrace is the only safe haven, Perona only stops having nightmares in my arms, and Reiju chases me from dreams into reality. But every night, I still touch the burning mark below my collarbone and think of those pale blue eyes in the granary. Robin, wait a little longer. Wait for me, this mad dog, to... tear the old world apart for you.

Title: Journey to Hell Synopsis: On a starless night, a small infant was cast into a river of unknown fate, fleeing from a ruthless king and an unstoppable army. That infant was Mabo. Mabo grew up haunted by shadows, knowing nothing of his origins, his father, or his mother. Adopted by a family that raised him as their own, he remains oblivious to the terrifying truth: a dormant power dwells within his blood—a force that erupts in the darkest moments, slowly consuming him from the inside out. His only anchors in this chaotic world are his grandfather, Charo, a man shrouded in dangerous secrets, and his brother, Thian, who fights with a deadly, silent resolve. In a world that never sleeps—filled with wars, political schemes, crumbling kingdoms, and hidden villages—stands Mabo, walking his solitary path through the abyss. This is not just a story of survival; it is his Journey to Hell. Genres: Action / Drama / Dark Fantasy / Adventure / Shonen.

When a devoted fan of A Song of Ice and Fire opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Westeros. Not as a king. Not as a lord. He became Suleiman, a nameless minor knight under the impoverished Daddings family, living by the muddy lower reaches of the Green Fork in the Riverlands. No gold. No soldiers. No influence. The family ruled over barely fifty peasants and held a status so low they were nothing more than silent figures in the corners of noble banquets. Before him stood the crushing weight of eight thousand years of aristocratic hierarchy. Yet in a land torn by war and shifting tides, this outsider from another world began his climb. From the mockery of “Sir Stinky Castle” on the edge of a swamp… to the throne of the Trident itself. In Westeros, even the smallest pawn can become a king. --------------------------- Join my Patreon now to get instant access to the next chapters!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... On the ragged edge of known space, where golden fields sway beneath the shadow of warships, lies a quiet agricultural world caught between two titans: the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire. To most, it is a place of harvest and survival. To others, it is a battlefield waiting to ignite. But for one man… it is a second beginning. Once, he was just another player, lost in the endless grind of Star Wars: The Old Republic, mastering raids, memorizing lore, and shaping destiny through a screen. Until fate struck without warning. A single moment. A failing heart, before darkness claims him. Then... light! Reborn in flesh and blood within the very galaxy he once explored, he awakens as Vilyam Rax, a young boy on a border world where Republic patrols and Imperial scouts circle like predators.

In a world where a single year lasts a thousand days—and each day stretches across thirty-eight hours—something about reality has always been… wrong. Dark never questioned it. An orphan with a quiet love for books, he expects nothing more than a normal life as he begins high school. Until the day reality cracks. Beneath a solitary tree, he meets a woman who should not know him—yet does. She claims to be his new literature teacher. From that moment on, the world begins to unravel. Whispers appear where silence should exist. People move like they’re being guided. And something unseen begins pulling the strings. What starts as curiosity turns into a descent. Together with his friends, Dark steps into a hidden conflict shaped by control, manipulation… and forces that do not belong to this world. But the deeper he looks, the clearer one thing becomes: This isn’t happening around him. It’s happening because of him. As fragments of the past resurface, Dark is dragged toward a truth that was never meant to be uncovered—one that speaks not of heroes… …but of something that should have never existed. Because in a world controlled by unseen hands, Dark is not the one searching for answers. He is the fracture in reality itself.

After 3 years of being subjected to The horrors of human trafficking, Izuku comes back but only as a shell of his former self.

In a parallel world created by a God who abandoned his world, the year is 2044. Heiss and Kalika, invented names with damaged pasts, without well-remembered parents and with supposed new families. The perfect codex created for killing with multiple personality problems and the successor who will begin her family's revenge. Two young people with peculiar inheritances, but with no one to accompany them at first, will face a world led to decadence and corruption. Ruled by idealism, religion, politics, and lost history. They will go against what the world has established, fighting against the districts and the different groups with the most power in the world, trying to win as many allies as possible along the way. All for “change,” because whenever there is change, we are closer to perfection or, at least, further away from the demons that torment us. Pain, love, despair, every emotion you have ever felt in your life is experienced like a roller coaster ride. Only through learning can this world be understood, and only then can one understand oneself better. I recommend starting with the author's notes.

Growing up, Jurgen carried an unyielding hatred that he could not understand or explain. It stayed with him through his early years as a constant pressure, manifesting as a persistent need to punish something or someone, though nothing ever seemed sufficient to match what he felt. Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power. Alongside this, Jurgen lived with an illness that affected his health and continuously interfered with his journey, adding another layer of strain to his existence and shaping the way he moved through the world. As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…

This is a story about a former Jedi, reincarnated from the galaxy of Star Wars into the world of My Hero Academia, who becomes a hero in order to restore the Jedi Order, while unknowingly and gradually becoming aware of her growing, affectionate relationship with Himiko Toga. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Count Dooku, leader of the Separatists, had fallen, and the Clone Wars were nearing their end. Yet even that was part of the grand design of the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. At last revealing himself, the Dark Lord carefully manipulated the Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker into falling to the dark side, taking him as his apprentice. Thus, the former hero was given a new name, Darth Vader. To annihilate the Jedi, Vader stormed the Jedi Temple, cutting down everyone in his path without mercy, men, women, even children. Among those who witnessed that horrific scene in disbelief was a single man. But the Dark Lord showed him no mercy either. A blade fell, and his life came to an end. …Or so it should have. His story did not end there. He awoke once more. Far beyond the era of the Galactic Republic, on a distant planet called Earth, in a world where nearly eighty percent of the population possessed a mysterious power known as “Quirks.” His name had changed. His body had changed. Even his gender was no longer the same. And yet, she chose to live on as a Jedi Knight once more. This is the story of a girl who, bearing the name of the Jedi, walks the path toward becoming a hero.

Consider this a major warning: In a world where everyone craves fast-paced stories, this one takes its time. This isn't some high-speed fluff; it is a slow-burn journey. Since most readers have their eyes on the "fastest" thing out there, this isn't for those who only want a quick thrill. This is a challenge. I dare you to read it. Break a leg, everyone. synopsis: Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.
