tragedy

At the age of eighteen, every human is forced into a Trial World where their fate is decided. Rise above destiny, and you become an elite revered by all. Fail, and you are reduced to nothing more than a servant in a world ruled by power. Li Chang’an was given a doomed life from the very beginning. Reincarnated into a weak and dying body, surrounded by enemies and destined for failure, he should have been forgotten like countless others.

Every battle pushes him beyond what should be possible. While others climb step by step, he breaks through boundaries endlessly. From a powerless nobody to a being that stands above worlds, Li Chang’an begins a path of endless ascension. Yet, the higher he rises, the more he realizes— The Trials are not meant to create heroes. They are meant to control them. And this time, someone has appeared who refuses to be controlled.

She was once untouchable—the golden girl everyone admired. But one night of betrayal shattered everything, and the man she ruined? He became the Alpha CEO everyone feared. Now, years later, fate has trapped her in the ultimate nightmare: he’s her husband… and he’s married her for revenge. Cold, calculating, and impossibly powerful, he knows all her secrets—and he won’t hesitate to make her pay for every misstep. But revenge is never simple. As their fiery arguments turn into stolen glances, and punishments into forbidden desires, she realizes that the man she betrayed… may be the only one who can ever truly see her. With a past full of mistakes and a future tangled in passion, she must navigate betrayal, power, and temptation—before love consumes them both. Enemies, lovers, and everything in between—how far will she go to survive… and how far will he go to claim her?

"Seven names. Seven lives. One debt that can only be paid in blood”. Fifteen years ago, a boy watched from the shadows of a rainy roadside as his world was erased. His father, an ambitious man on the verge of signing a life-changing business contract, wasn't killed by an accident, he was executed by a conspiracy. Now, that boy has returned as a man with no identity, no mercy, and a list of seven people who built their empires on his parents' graves. The mission is simple: Infiltrate. Unravel. Eliminate. Starting with the low-level henchmen and climbing the ladder to the city’s most powerful elites, he systematically dismantles their lives. But as he nears the top, the line between justice and murder begins to blur. When he falls for Nara, a woman whose own family history is tangled in the very conspiracy he is trying to destroy, he faces his greatest challenge. Can he complete his revenge if it means destroying the only person he has left to love? As the police close in and a final, shocking secret about his own origin comes to light, he must decide if he will stop once the list is finished, or if the cycle of blood will continue until the very last one dies.

In a world ruled by order, chaos is a force both feared and forbidden. Yet, for Nero, chaos is the key to ultimate power. Scarred by a tragic past and driven by an insatiable hunger for strength, he will stop at nothing to seize it. He steals, destroys, and kills without hesitation, carving a path of devastation in his relentless pursuit of immortality. With the ancient Polykenas at his command, beings born from chaos itself, Nero has discovered a way to harness the untapped energy of fallen worlds. His empire grows, and his enemies fall before him. But as he edges closer to godhood, the question remains: Will he control the chaos, or will it consume him? In this dark tale of power and ambition, even the gods will tremble before the strongest of immortals.

They survived more than a decade of stolen glances and family wars, only to lose each other in the silence of their own home. Allison still wakes up next to the boy she’s loved since childhood, but Devin has become a ghost she can’t touch. The bed they share is wider than the ten years they spent fighting to be together, and Allison is drowning in the cold space where his heart used to be."

The sky changed without warning. Across Harbor City, reality fractures into lines of blue geometry—precise, silent, and absolute. When the first correction falls, it does not simply destroy. It decides. Streets vanish. Structures rewrite. People change. Kael is the only one who can see the system behind it. A black interface burns across his vision, issuing commands no one else receives: MOVE BEFORE PHASE TWO DESCENDS CLAIM THE FALLING LINE TO CREATE IS TO CHOOSE WHAT DOES NOT FALL When Kael touches one of the descending lines, something impossible happens. He does not survive it. He claims it. Now marked as an anomaly by the system governing the sky, Kael becomes its highest-priority target—hunted by execution constructs built to erase him and everything connected to him. But the deeper he pushes into the ruins, the clearer the truth becomes: The world is not ending. It is being corrected. And Kael was never meant to exist inside the final version. With a handful of survivors, a power built on impossible precision, and a cost that rises with every use, Kael must learn to create against a system designed to overwrite reality itself—choosing, one impossible decision at a time, what will remain and what must fall. Because Phase Two has already begun. And this time, the sky will not stop at the city. It will correct everything.

Hades is not just a billionaire mogul; he is the literal personification of Death. To the public, he is the elusive, stone-cold CEO of the Luther Corporation, a man whose empire stretches across the globe and whose face hasn't aged a single day in a century. To his thousands of fanatical subordinates, he is a dark deity—a mafia-esque king who rules from a secluded, glass-walled fortress. He is immortal, untouchable, and utterly bored with an existence. He has watched empires fall and stars burn out, leaving his heart as hollow as a fresh grave. That boredom shatters on a rain-slicked Monday morning. While Hades is being driven to his skyscraper, a reckless stranger dives into the path of his speeding car to save a shivering stray cat. Hades doesn’t stop—he never stops—but the image of the boy’s defiant, silver-grey eyes stays burned into his mind. Days later, seeking a moment of quiet, Hades enters an upscale city restaurant. There, standing before him with a tray in hand and a tired but kind smile, is the same boy: ken. A hardworking university freshman balancing three part-time jobs just to afford his education. The moment their eyes meet, the cold void in Hades’ chest finally sparks with a terrifying, singular Obsession. Ken is just a student trying to survive his finals; he didn’t expect to catch the eye of the world’s most dangerous man. Driven by a hunger he cannot name, the King of the Underworld decides to trade his boardroom for a lecture hall, enrolling in Ken’s university to stalk his prey in plain sight. From the dark corners of the library to the crowded campus halls, Hades is everywhere. He doesn't just want Ken’s heart—he wants everything. In a game of cat and mouse, how do you escape a man who literally has forever to find you?

To her, he’s the man she still loves. As Adrian pushes Lina away and reconnects with his first love, Lina’s heart slowly shatters. After enduring months of rejection, she finally walks away, choosing to rebuild her life without him. But when Lina begins to move on… Adrian finds himself unable to let her go. Fragments of forgotten memories return, stirring emotions he cannot understand—jealousy, longing, and a love he thought he had never felt. Now, Adrian must fight to win back the woman he once forgot… Before it’s too late.

Crafted a century ago from the black pine of Black Pine Forest, its heavy surface etched with ancient witch runes. The cabinet radiates a bone-chilling cold year-round. Within lies Isabella's preserved body and the curse's heart—the Thorn Pendant.

In a world where AI controls every aspect of human life, there is no government, no law, and no economy. There is no manual labor because robots handle everything, and there is absolutely no empathy because AI is the government. To survive, you must use your brains. But if you don't have brains, you better have brawn, because almost every available job is an AI-supervised office role that demands a high level of intelligence. There are only two paths for those who rely on brawn: become a gladiator for public spectacle and entertainment, or become a slave whose job is to "entertain" the public with all their strength and body. This is the dark story of a young man fighting to free his half-sister from debt-driven slavery. He fights in the colosseum as a gladiator while still attending school to hone his "brain," using the extraordinary power of the Grey Tower as its chosen Monarch.

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.

Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators series will continue in this Novel. For readers who enjoy details, like icy wind blowing against your cheek, give it a go.

Vampires from other dimensional worlds begin to lurk on Earth as they await the go-ahead to kill Victoria.

With time slipping away, he and his friends also keep trying to search for Grandpa Vlad, the Collin Coven Headmaster because he needs his help to prepare for a rumored Vampiric World War Three to transpire. Not to mention, it's time they all faced their biggest rivals who want to steal Victoria and Kai's sister-in-law Zoey to make their Coven the strongest. Can Kai take on these threats from other Alpha vampires that either want his mate for themselves or wish to kill her? Will Kai be able to transform Victoria into her true form as a vampiress or will her fate to live be demised too soon? While Kai and his friends are doing what it takes to ensure his pregnant mate survives long enough to turn her on the Brightest Blue Moon, Victoria still struggles to keep her time-gap gift under control.

In her futile attempt to keep herself and her unborn vamp babies protected against these intelligent vampires, she learns quickly that it's nearly impossible. As usual, she fights for her survival. At the same time, she's drawn closer to Kai because of the blue moon, but a part of her heart is still snared by her first lover. Between their ups and downs as a fated couple, they always find a way to balance each other. The first novel called: "Time Gap Queen and the Alpha Apex Predators" is still under editing and needs to be rewritten to fix some flaws I made with the FL, but it is completed. "DO NOT" let those flaws reflect on this novel because it will take time to fix them. This is my first time writing a series like this, so it's been a learning experience for me with writing a Fl. The story isn't all romance. This storyline runs deeper than that, and the vampires aren't weak. Also, it's only labeled as historical because the FL can mentally travel to past events in ancient times. This second Novel will be dark, gory, murderous, bloody, and steamy hot like the first one. You've been warned. Further warnings will be added as needed in certain chapters. Recaps will be added to grasp certain events and the vampires' way of life. Overall, the story will take a whole new direction, so you can read it as a standalone if you don't wish to read it the first novel. I will leave reference chapters from the first novel for you to read if you want to glance at it. Enjoy the action and suspense with these bloodthirsty vampires and vampiresses.

After his devastating match against Jose Mendoza for the WBC and WBA belts at age 21, Joe's body gave out. Parkinsonism—triggered by Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy from repeated head trauma—forced him into retirement. His trembling hands, deteriorating depth perception, and failing reflexes ended the career of a world-class boxer. Six years later, at 27, Joe is broke. Every cent from his championship days has gone toward treatment in Seoul, searching for a cure that doesn't exist. When his doctor delivers the final verdict—that his condition is permanent and will only worsen—Joe's last hope dies with it. That same night, while eating at a small restaurant run by a kind elderly woman, Joe witnesses a loan shark scheme. Team Manager Yoo In-yeong from "Smile Capital" attempts to trap the old woman in a predatory contract disguised as pandemic relief. Joe intervenes, exposing the hidden clauses. His decision to stand up for someone else—despite having nothing left himself—sets off a chain of events that will drag him back into a world he thought he'd left behind.

His body is failing him. But Joe decides to burn once more. Burn until he becomes white ash. --- Bloodhounds: White Ash is a story about a fallen champion's struggle against his failing body, loan sharks, and the ghosts of his past—a tale of one man's decision to ignite what little fire remains, even if it means burning himself to nothing. --- Copyright Disclaimer Fanfiction Notice: This is a fanfiction work based on the Netflix K-Drama Bloodhounds (2023) and its source webtoon.

In Aethelgard, a world composed of drifting continents and monolithic stone cities, power is everything. Yet, power here is not derived from mystical sorcery, but from Axiom—the cerebral capacity to manipulate the laws of physics in real-time. The elite can rend space, invert gravity, and command thermodynamics through sheer mental computation. Elian Laurent is the "trash" of this perfect system. Born as a Zero, Elian possesses no ability to project Axiom. His life is a mere struggle for survival in the derelict slums of Sector 9, alongside his younger sister, Miya Laurent—a prodigy blessed with a rare, untainted talent. Their fragile peace is shattered when Inquisitor Valerius, the right hand of the World Government, arrives to conduct an "Induction." Miya is abducted to serve as a "Living Processor"—a human battery destined to maintain the stability of Aethelgard’s skies. Helpless, Elian can only watch as his sister is dragged toward the heavens, leaving him bloodied amidst the ruins of his workshop. However, in the depths of despair and burning rage, something inside Elian’s mind fractures. Elian does not gain the power of Axiom. Instead, he is cursed—or gifted—with a terrifying vision: he begins to see the glitches in every formula of reality. He realizes that his world is not an infinite universe, but a closed curve—a gargantuan scientific experiment known as The Closed Variable. Joined by Caelus, a mysterious mentor who fights using the mathematics of probability, Elian embarks on an impossible journey. From the steam-choked lower districts to the crystalline spires of Sector 1, Elian fights not with brute strength, but by hacking the god-like attacks of the Inquisitors. He has only one goal: To reach the highest peak, rescue Miya, and shatter the false sky into pieces—even if he must prove that all of humanity is nothing more than a variable meant to be deleted by the Creator.
