tragedy

A king who loved his people. A husband who swore to protect his family. A man willing to sacrifice everything—even his humanity. King Elandor of Kaelon has everything a man could desire: a realm that worships him, a wife who touches his very soul, and a future bathed in light. Yet in the shadows of his own city, strings are being pulled. Not against his realm—against his heart. When darkness strikes, Elandor faces a choice no man should ever have to make: Accept. Or become. There is a way to grow stronger than his pain. A way to crawl into the bodies of his enemies, hollow them from within, steal their strengths. A way to become immortal—yet the more he takes, the less remains of the king he once was. The Beast Within is the story of a man caught between love and damnation—and the discovery that the greatest monster is not the enemy, but what we become to defeat him.

The story explores about later Story after zarc was defeated (differently). (First 10 chapters, excluding prologue is a recap with different events by going with anime's story differently but it covers all things shown in anime so you can read this even if you haven't watched the anime and continue this. I have also said the difference in author's note so you can read if not whole story until chapter 10. i didn't after chapter 10.)

Also old protagonists and characters from other four Yu Gi Oh series will also come. and also major and some events of other world and old series will also take part differently. It will also explore Multivers, Other Worlds and Parallel Worlds of Yu-Gi-Oh with different story, after story and different setting. (I have made Zarc,Ray and Ryoho siblings and Leo Akaba's Kids in the united world is because to show that Celina,Lulu,Rin and Yuzu are different person not Ray and Yugo,Yuto, Yuya and Yuri are different person not Zarc. and i think they were siblings zarc is shown silver color hair like Declan so zarc was Leo's son but it is not shown but implied.) (I made this fanfic because i don't like the original ending of Arc V if you know you know why i don't like the ending and you also don't like it because it was unsatisfying and everyone who watched the anime know why so i wanted to make this) (There will be some new characters not just for story but battle too and more, I also thaught of new cards, monsters,spell and trap cards ofcourse monster I also mean synchro,xyz and fusion) ___________________________________ (I don't own the rights this is just for the story i want to make and make a satisfying story)

A nameless boy awakens while plummeting through a silent, storm-like void made of living darkness. With no memories and a missing right arm, he drifts downward, unnoticed by the strange shadowy entities passing him by. Just as despair sets in, a radiant light appears below, his first glimpse of hope. But when he falls through it, something cold and metallic attaches to him. He emerges in a vast ocean, panicking as he sinks. A new mechanical arm, mysteriously fused to his body, drags him deeper no matter how hard he fights. As he drowns and his vision fades, he glimpses a colossal ancient wall encircling a glowing coral reef. In his final moment before blacking out, the impossible happens: the massive wall begins to move.

Once the crown prince of a mighty imperial dynasty, Long Shen was now on a death bed . Because those who feared the Long clan chose annihilation over coexistence. Through a forbidden resurrection art, he returns from death—only to awaken with two terrifying presences within his Sea of Consciousness: the soul of a Buddhist Abbot, master of enlightenment and restraint, and the soul of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, embodiment of destruction and tyranny. Reborn into a world that believes him dead, Long Shen hides behind a calm and calculating mind, observing, planning, and waiting. He does not rush. He does not waste moves. Every step is measured, every scheme layered. Yet fragments of that night still haunt him: the imperial halls burning, blood on jade steps, and the knowledge that his entire family was erased—not for their crimes, but because their rising power had become a threat. When the time for revenge arrives, mercy becomes a luxury he no longer affords. With heaven and demon sharing his mind, he walks a path between compassion and annihilation, using wisdom as his blade and ruthlessness as his shield. As old conspiracies resurface and empires begin to shake, the fallen crown rises once more from death. This time, he will not be hunted. This time, he will be the one they fear. He will rule—as the Dual-Soul Sovereign.

Destined for doom, he was nothing more than a minor villain—meant only to be mocked by the protagonist and executed in the end. The plot pushed him forward, forcing his every step toward that inevitable downfall. But then, an anomaly appeared. Everything was moving exactly as the story demanded… until a certain woman took an interest in him. She freed him from the curse of being a disposable villain—so he could rise as the true one. .....

2030. The city is dead. People have disappeared — or become something else. Madness walks through the streets, and the only survivor hides trying to survive, watching as the world collapses. And his diary — a desperate cry into the void, a chronicle of the world’s decay, where every day — a struggle with hopelessness, fear, and an attempt to survive. Will he be able to find answers to what is happening on the streets of the deserted city, or become another victim of the destroyed world?

On September 17, 2037, humanity finally fulfilled its age-old fear — the fear that a single mistake, a single order, or a single act of madness could erase millions of years of the past and the very possibility of a future. After the nuclear exchange, Earth fell silent and barren. Cities were reduced to ashes, oceans boiled, and the sky turned a leaden gray, robbing the planet of sunlight. The world we knew was dead. A radioactive wind now drifts among the ruins of a once-great civilization, a ghostly whisper of all that was lost. Only a few survived — accidental witnesses to the end of human history. Now, they seek not only shelter but meaning in a world stripped of gods, rules, and tomorrow.
