tragedy

Cyrus Moore was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old stuck in the endless cycle of classes, dull conversations, and the growing feeling that life had nothing more to offer. Bored with the monotony of everyday existence, he never imagined that a random accident would one day change everything. But when he's struck by a car and somehow survives, he awakens to a reality far stranger than anything he could have ever imagined. After the accident, Cyrus discovers that he's changed. Mysterious powers begin to emerge, reality starts to crack at the edges, and he is thrust into a hidden world where magic exists beneath the surface of modern life. As secrets unravel, he learns that monsters, mystical forces, and powerful organizations have been hiding in plain sight all along. Caught between the ordinary world and the magical one, Cyrus joins a group of others who are just as gifted, confused, and overwhelmed as he is. Together, they must navigate deadly threats, uncover dangerous truths, and survive in a world where fantasy is not only real but far more perilous than anyone could imagine. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

Now, my name is Uchiha Xuan. I’ve been adopted by my uncle, and I have an older cousin who walks around every day with a "Protagonist" look on his face; his name is Uchiha Madara. I also have a younger cousin who looks like he wants to kill me every single day, though he’d never dare say it out loud because he can't beat me in a fight; his name is Uchiha Izuna. To make matters worse, I'm stuck with a completely screwed-up System called the "Behind-the-Scenes Boss System." Every day, it tries to incite me to go out and conquer the world, and it’s constantly threatening me with "Obliteration" if I don't comply. Honestly, all that fighting and killing is so uncivilized. I just want to quietly be a Mastermind from the shadows... and maybe build myself a massive harem along the way.

One Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation The so-called "Twin Electro Archons" are nothing more than a tired tale spun by a dying Shogun. The so-called "Free-Spirited Bard" is merely the wind taking the form of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place. The so-called "Immortal Zombie Qiqi" is simply an old man's desperate plea on the verge of death—one that a god happened to hear. Li Mo had been reincarnated a hundred times into the world of Genshin Impact. One more lifetime—one final mission—and he would be granted ten wishes. In his hundredth life, he became a storyteller in Liyue. "On that day, the Thunder Demon split his own heart in two, saving his dying sisters." "On that day, the wind took the shape of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place." "On that day, an old man, facing the dying herb-gathering girl, forcibly wielded the power of his own wish, granting Qiqi a glimmer of hope." The emotion ran deep, and the entire audience erupted in applause. The Raiden Shogun, Shenhe, Qiqi… even the Tsaritsa herself was moved to tears. Hu Tao's eyes glistened as she asked, "Storyteller… is that boy really dead?" --- Raw: 原神：璃月港说书，胡桃泪目 Author: 万字更新

Warning: Translation kinda iffy at the first 50 chapters. I'll fix them one day... A “Video Compilation System” descends upon Teyvat, showcasing the most tear-jerking iconic scenes. It begins by playing Furina’s storyline, “The Final Feast.” Mortals and gods alike are moved to tears. Lumine: “You held on like that for five hundred years… Let me hug you.” Neuvillette: “Thank you. I cherished every moment of those five hundred years.” Zhongli: “She made a pact with herself to save her nation and honored it for five centuries, even deceiving Celestia in the end. I respect all justice carried out through one’s own conviction. Even if her divinity has faded and her throne is gone, in the history of Fontaine, Furina is still a god of justice worthy of recognition.” Next, the system plays “Withering Branches, Faded Dreams.” Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: “Let the world forget me completely.” Then it plays “The Kitsune Saiguu Chapter.” Great Kitsune Saiguu: “At Yae Publishing House, I truly lived happily. But now, watching you all leave, I can’t help but feel a little lonely.” Raw: 原神：盘点催泪场面，开局水神陨 Author: 我是小火苗丫

Fenrir Endarth was an orphan with a compassionate heart, a quiet life, and a dream of spending his future with the woman he loved. That dream ended on his twenty-first birthday. During his college graduation, Fenrir was publicly betrayed by his girlfriend, who left him for a wealthier man. In front of his friends, classmates, and everyone he knew, he was humiliated, mocked, and beaten nearly to death by her new boyfriend before being discarded in a dark alley like worthless refuse. As darkness consumed him, something awakened. A mysterious System known as OBLIVION activated within his soul, triggering the awakening of an ancient bloodline hidden within him since birth. The process was beyond agony. His body was destroyed and rebuilt. His appearance changed, becoming unnaturally handsome and imposing. His personality hardened, transforming the trusting young man into someone colder, sharper, and far more dangerous. Yet despite the hatred burning within him, Fenrir refused to become a villain. He would protect those who deserved it. Destroy those who betrayed him. And exact revenge on those who ruined his life. Soon, Fenrir discovers a truth hidden from humanity. The modern world is merely a facade concealing a vast supernatural universe inhabited by gods, angels, demons, titans, vampires, witches, werewolves, and countless other races. To ordinary people, they are myths. In reality, they rule from the shadows. And every one of them fears a single race. The God Devourers. Ancient predators capable of hunting gods, devouring powerful beings, and evolving without limit. They possessed many beast forms, but among them all, the legendary Wolf Form was the strongest. Long ago, the heavens united to eradicate them. Now Fenrir is the last pure-blooded God Devourer alive. But the truth is far more terrifying. Hidden beneath his God Devourer bloodline lies an unknown dragon bloodline that has never appeared in any record. Dragons—the only race ever capable of rivaling the God Devourers—are believed to be extinct. Yet something far older sleeps within Fenrir. Something even the gods were never meant to witness. Now hunted across worlds, dimensions, and distant galaxies by divine pantheons, demonic empires, celestial armies, and supernatural monarchs, Fenrir is forced onto a path of relentless conflict. Although his awakening grants him immense power, he cannot fully control it. His Wolf Form is unstable. His dragon bloodline remains dormant. His abilities often threaten to consume him as much as his enemies. To survive, he must train. To protect those he cares about, he must evolve. And to uncover the truth of his origins, he must become stronger than every enemy standing in his way. As powerful women from countless races—including celestial princesses, vampire queens, immortal witches, dragon empresses, and dangerously obsessive yanderes—become entangled in his fate, Fenrir finds himself at the center of a cosmic war that spans the universe itself. The gods believe they are hunting the last God Devourer. The supernatural races believe they understand the threat he poses. They are all wrong. Because Fenrir Endarth is not merely the last God Devourer. He is the beginning of something new. A being born from betrayal. Forged by tragedy. Tempered through battle. And destined to rise from a broken young man into an existence capable of making gods, dragons, angels, demons, and titans kneel before him. For when OBLIVION reaches its final evolution... The heavens themselves will tremble before the God Devouring Abomination.

I dream! Not of the future to be won, but the past I had lost— . . . "You have a noble, inquiring mind, Your Highness!" I was young enough then to think that people were books that wanted to be read. "My mind inquires only to get a better understanding of you, My Lady," I replied. "While you're at it," she said, her elegant smile fixed even as she took a half-step back, "I advise you to cease marching any further." She said 'advice' but felt like a warning. My feet obeyed her and stopped, but my heart didn't. " Then, as per My Lady's command, I shall remain fixed at this post, until your words, I will know only what you choose to show me." I thought it was the right choice only to let you drown in silence. . . . —even before the beginning.

I will rework every single chapter when I have more time. I'm simply putting them back out there to give you guys something to read in the meantime.

The war in Heaven wasn't about good and evil.It was about a family shattered by a single, painful question: is a perfect love worth the cost of free will?

Volume 01 & 02 laced together for your convenience! Thank you all for your patience and understanding as I condense a few things on my shelf in order to get you all as much content as possible! Volume 01 will be clearly defined for you so that there is no confusion, yeah? I was a very... angsty, quixotic, strange kid. I grew into a.... anxious, quixotic, strange adult, lol. Go read along, Young Me would really appreciate it. See you all at the last page. Oh, you are here for Volume 02? It's just more old journal entries of mine, but this time things are a bit more...weighty? Complicated? These journals were written 12 years after those of Volume 01! Let us cringe a little more. Maybe a little less? Looking back now, I wasn't that naive...was I? *Names will be omitted and replaced with "XXXXX" in order to keep some semblance of privacy.*

This is a Warhammer 40,000 fan-made story. While some timeline elements have been slightly adjusted for narrative purposes, the tone and spirit remain unmistakably Warhammer. Expect references to memes, historical events, and chaos-fueled absurdity woven into the drama of this universe. Li Feng, an ordinary college student studying in the US, thought he was just driving home with his quiet, gentle girlfriend Empress. But in the blink of an eye, a roaring warp vortex tore open before them and dragged Li Feng across reality itself, hurling him straight into the grim darkness of the forty-first millennium. And then came the real shock. His girlfriend was never human to begin with. She was a fragment of the Emperor’s soul, wandering the mortal world in disguise! ……… Stranded on a barren, war-torn planet with nothing but panic in his lungs, Li Feng found himself surrounded by a mob of bloodthirsty orks. Just when he was certain he was about to become green-skinned minced meat, a glowing panel materialized in front of him. A system? In the Warhammer universe? Maybe... just maybe... things were about to get interesting. -------------------------------- 70 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

"True mercy is to never encounter the monster lurking beneath your skin." Twenty years ago, a child was found shivering in the freezing rain, scavenging for scraps behind a restaurant. His clothes were rags, his eyes were hollow, and he was drenched in blood that wasn't his own. He had no name, no past, and no memory of the world before the age of ten. Today, that boy is Park Min-soo—K-pop’s "Golden Boy," a world-renowned rapper, producer, and lyrical genius adored by millions. But behind the chart-topping hits and the perfect idol mask, a darkness is clawing its way out. Whenever the pressure peaks, the Blue Jay appears. A terrifying, spectral hallucination that whispers secrets Min-soo has spent two decades forgetting. "Why did you kill them?" it asks, as flashes of brutal crimes flood his mind—memories of things he couldn't have done... or could he? As fellow stars begin to drop dead, a shadowy killer starts a sadistic game with the police, leaving cryptic clues on the bodies: "Identify the next victim within seven days, or they die." Found in his own home, the evidence points directly at Min-soo. Is he a cold-blooded killer erasing his own crimes, or the pawn in a diabolical conspiracy? His only hope is a childhood friend determined to pull him from the abyss. But she doesn't realize that reclaiming his lost decade might not prove his innocence—it might just awaken the Monster that was buried for a very good reason. In the war between memory and madness, the truth won't set you free... it will destroy you. #Psychological_Thriller #Kpop_Idol #Mystery_Crime #Hallucinations #Police_Investigation #Dark_Romance #Serial_Killer #Amnesia #Gaslighting #Mind_Games
