tragedy

Zenon is a young man from Spezia, a high school student living a cold, routine life ,and faces the world with a dry, distant logic. One day, he joins his classmates on a school trip to the Amazon — a forbidden region, off-limits because of old, dangerous scientific experiments buried there. What should have been nothing more than a field trip turns into a catastrophe. Violence erupts, senseless and unexplained, and Zenon finds himself alone in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by death and secrets. To survive, he'll have to rely on nothing but himself — make brutal choices, and uncover a dark side of himself he never knew existed. A side tied to a power he doesn't understand, one that comes with a heavy price. Between a jungle hiding horrors no one was meant to find, and organizations watching everything from the shadows, Zenon begins a journey he will not walk out of the same person who walked in.

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

I dream! Not of the future to be won, but the past I had lost—— . . . "You have a noble, inquiring mind, Your Highness!" "My mind inquires..." I was young enough then to think that people were books that wanted to be read. "...only to get a better understanding of you, My Lady." "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'...—beep... beep... beep! But it 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, "... Aurelia." . . . Snap! "You called for her again," said a woman in white coat. ——even before the beginning.

Decades after the war that sealed the world’s fate against Tyrus, the legendary hero Inavy Stormbreak has become an eternal symbol. Now, a new generation of heroes rises amid the resurgence of an even older threat: Kairon, the Cosmic Emperor — an exiled entity once banished by Yon — returns to impose his vision of absolute balance upon reality, no matter the cost. In this new chapter of the saga, we follow Ryan Valeborn, a seemingly aura-less young man, constantly mocked and rejected, yet harboring a forbidden power within: Reversum, an ability capable of nullifying, reflecting, and reversing cosmic laws. By his side stand Ethan Stormbreak, son of Inavy and heir to the lightning and the legendary bloodline; and Ryu Nox, bearer of the shadowed balance between light and darkness. Together, they face their greatest challenge yet: the Hero Draft, a trial that will unveil the world’s future protectors — and determine who is ready to confront Kairon’s empire. With secrets from the past emerging, betrayals from former allies like Kai Hayashi, and new bonds being forged among the young heroes, Rise of Kairon is a story of legacy, resilience, justice, and the unyielding power of those who refuse to give up.

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

The apocalypse didn’t destroy the world. It erased knowledge. Civilization collapsed, magic replaced science, and monsters inherited the land. Humanity survived—but only barely. I was reborn into that world. I learned quickly that power here is inefficient, fragmented, and fundamentally flawed. Mages store mana in fragile circles. Aura users flood their bodies without understanding control. I chose a different path. I connected mind, heart, and core into a single system—Arcane Soul—and built Chessmaster, an operating system designed to treat reality like a board and every conflict like a game of strategy. Gravity answers my calculations. Flesh obeys my intent. Magic bends when properly optimized. Then I made one mistake. A ritual went wrong. My memories shattered. I woke up surrounded by corpses, blood on my hands, and consequences I couldn’t remember creating. Now I move forward carefully. This world is full of gods, monsters, academies, and ancient entities pretending they can’t die. They believe power is about talent, lineage, or destiny. They are wrong. I don’t need destiny. I only need time.

In an attempt to escape his hellish fate, Kai is forced to tread a grey area where there are few allies and all sides view him as a tool or an enemy, relying on the presence of one girl who chose him above all else to keep himself from falling into despair and insanity. Humanity is doomed unless he and others like himself rise up against the endless hordes of demons and find a way to close the gates of Hél, but is it worth the sacrifice? Will he willingly save the very people who turned their backs on him, or will he choose the ever-widening path of darkness and become what they all fear he will?

They are no ordinary humans; they are ‘Fables’—the name given to those who possess a weapon called ‘Everafter’, a weapon whose capabilities sometimes defy human understanding.

By MoonboundInk In the year 3934, Earth stands on the edge of extinction. Centuries of human progress have solved every mystery—every disease cured, every question answered—yet peace has never been more distant. From the shadows of the Moon, an ancient extraterrestrial species awakens, claiming Earth as their birthplace and humanity as the infection that must be erased. Amid the wreckage of collapsing cities and burning skies, Danial, a lone survivor, runs from both death and destiny. Hunted by alien forces that bend the very laws of nature, he discovers a truth buried deep beneath humanity’s triumphs — one that ties his existence to the Moonborn invaders themselves. Now, in a world consumed by chaos, Danial must choose between survival and sacrifice, between the remnants of humanity and the origins of the species that doomed it. Because the war for Earth isn’t about domination anymore — it’s about who deserves to live.

Their leader — enigmatic, dangerous, and driven by something deeper than conquest — leaves a trail of havoc wherever he goes. But this isn’t just a story of rebellion. It’s a story of purpose. Of fate. Of whether the stars themselves can be bent to one man’s will. TARTARUSIOS blends high-stakes action with mystery and mythic undertones. The ship is more than metal — it’s legend. The crew, more than criminals — they’re chosen. And as their journey unfolds, the question remains: will they reach their goal, or will destiny rewrite their course?

How high can humans jump? How long can humans live? What are humans limits? And finally, what then, after those limits are no more? An ocean of energy, that is the universe. The source matter comes from, the foundation of everything, and there is a prerequisite to touch it. Earth is special, and Lucas even more so. He was a soldier who almost met an unfortunate end. Fortunately, that was his chance at touching the extraordinary. But as we all know, everything has a price, and this one demands immediate payment before it can be enjoyed. On this journey, what will Lucas find? What will he lose? The world changed. How will he change? Will his heart stay hollow or will it be filled? And by filling it, is he opening the way for tragedies? After all, caring means risking pain when losing. In the end, were Humans' Limits for their own good? ______________ Money ? Fame ? Good but transient. The best investment would always be in oneself. We came to this world with only a soul and a body molded from energy. Unfortunately, like everything in the world, we were born shackled. I got lucky enough to see the path so I shall seek intrinsic elevation and transcend human limits. _______&_______ A soldier almost dying in the desert Needing to run from death after coming back to life Forced to jump into a pit after throwing death off his ass .
