tragedy

Sagiri was never meant to exist. After his entire clan was wiped out he is the only surviving member and the last keeper yet he doesn't remember. Raised in secrecy and sent to Galka War Academy, he survives among boys trained to kill, endure, and obey. While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity. The Echo is the legacy of the N’garu, a legendary clan erased from the world in a single night. They were warriors who could slip between moments, speak to the shadows of the past, and reshape fate with a thought. Their extinction was celebrated across the tribes. Their return is feared more than war. Sagiri carries the last spark of their power. A whispering presence tied to his heartbeat. A force that chooses its own master. But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind. Forgotten beings turn their eyes. And the world begins to shift around him. The South wants to crown him. The North wants to erase him. The Echo within him wants something else entirely. And it has finally awakened. https://discord.gg/gMa9tend

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?

Alex Thorne had everything worth living for: a girlfriend who made him laugh, a family that believed in him, and the thrill of exploring untouched caves. He was kind. Optimistic. The guy who always saw the light. Then he opened the book that should have stayed sealed. Deep underground, an ancient altar whispered words he couldn't understand, yet they burrowed into his soul. An entity, ancient and broken, fused with him. Not to grant power. To feed on his pain. At first, it's just anger. A snapped word to his sister. A fight that ends with his girlfriend walking out forever. He apologizes, begs forgiveness, clings to who he was. But the whispers grow louder. Objects twist at his rage. Shadows obey his despair. The worse he feels, the stronger he becomes. Guilt becomes fuel. Isolation becomes strength. Loved ones become victims. He fights the thing inside him, until he doesn't. Until the apologies stop. Until the delight begins. What starts as a curse ends in apocalypse. Because some suffering doesn't end with one soul. It spreads. It repeats. Until there's but one soul to suffer.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● My tears fell in silence, without even daring to sob… until his tall shadow fell across the threshold. He stepped inside. Slowly. Heavily. His eyes… locked onto mine. The same eyes people said carried the scent of blood, burdened with a dark and haunted past. I was afraid of him… everyone was afraid of him. And yet, I was certain that behind that predatory gaze, another truth existed. His fingers, trembling with hesitation, reached for my face. His touch was so gentle that it was hard to believe those same hands had once clenched the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑), [a double-edged Chinese sword]. He stared into my eyes… but he did not see me. I could sense it. His gaze passed straight through me. With longing, he pulled me against his chest, as though he wished to chain my soul to his own. That was when I heard it; the fierce, thunderous beat of his heart beside my ear. My fear dissolved. I was calm. I clutched at his clothes and found stillness in the chill of his embrace... in the arms of the devil! He carried secrets too heavy for the earth to bury, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!

I was supposed to live quietly. Study hard, stay invisible, make my mother proud. No friends. No distractions. No boys. But then he happened — Adrian Madden. The university’s golden boy, the Prime Minister’s son, with eyes like winter storms and a smile that promised trouble. He saved me once — from humiliation, from the cruelty of others — and ruined me all the same. His charm was a weapon. His attention, a wildfire. And before I knew it, I was burning. We fell — recklessly, hopelessly, secretly. But love in his world was dangerous. When his family was framed, their mansion set ablaze, I lost him to the fire… or so I thought. Seven years later, I walk into Madden Corporation, desperate for a job — only to find him alive. Colder. Sharper. Untouchable. The boy I loved is now a man with power in his hands and vengeance in his veins. He doesn’t know about the twins. He doesn’t know I’ve kept his last name buried in my heart like a secret grave. And I don’t know if he’s here to love me again — or destroy what’s left of me.

She was never meant to save him. #DarkRomance #smut #ForbiddenLove #SlowBurnRomance #MorallyGreyML #ImpossibleLove #Angst In a world where humans lived unaware of the supernatural shaping their lives, she walked among them as a living curse. Being an orphan, financially struggling, being bullied at college, and her boss’s constant harassment pushed her to make a rash decision one night. She tried to end her life. Instead of dying, she was condemned to an existence worse than death—immortality. And that choice came back to haunt her! By day, she lived as an ordinary woman. At night, she was forced to witness the deaths of selected humans being killed, while she lingered in ghost form, powerless. She could only give them the final warmth before the soul left their body. Until one night, death went wrong! A feared mafia leader, covered in blood, was taking his last breath. His eyes met hers through the veil between life and death. When she asked for his final wish, he gave an answer she had not seen coming. A kiss.... Without thinking too much, she granted him a kiss. A soft, fleeting kiss that was meant to be meaningless. Days later, in a busy cafe bathed in morning light, he entered her life again. Alive! Breathing! Human? Their eyes met briefly, and he looked away as though she were nothing more than a stranger. That same night, the Grim Reaper appeared before her once more. The very being who had cursed her returned with an ultimatum. If she wanted her curse lifted, she had one year to complete an impossible task. The man who had escaped death must fall in love with her—and he must never kiss anyone else! If he kissed another person, the curse would reach them. She would then be bound to make that person fall in love with her as well. And if they kissed someone else, the curse would continue to spread—binding her to an endless chain of impossible loves. If she failed, the man who had survived death would be cursed, too. But his punishment would be far crueller than hers. Instead of witnessing one death each night, they would both be forced to witness countless deaths—night after night. All because of her one decision to end her life... All because of one kiss... She searched for him online, clinging to hope until it withered. The man she was bound to seduce loved men. And now, the question was no longer whether she could save herself. It was whether fate had set her up to destroy them both. *Content Warning This is a dark novel.

One hundred and twenty years ago, the world ended. Not with fire or war, but with the arrival of a unknown god. No one knows where it came from, nor why it descended upon Earth. Only that its presence twisted reality, birthing countless abominations that poured across the planet and wiped out nearly half of humanity in a matter of years. Entire continents fell silent. Cities became graveyards. Civilization stagnated as survival became the only law. Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the god vanished. What it left behind was a broken world. Sixty percent of Earth is now a forbidden land– infested with monsters, warped ecosystems, and ruins filled with relics far more dangerous than any beast. Humanity has survived through bloodshed and evolution all while relying on a new hope: awakened individuals who manifest supernatural abilities and grow stronger by facing the horrors beyond the walls. Everyone has their own path to power. Some train. Some inherit bloodlines. Some Through Trial and error. Eli is no different. After a near-fatal encounter, the protagonist discovers his own Legacy– his very own Power. As he studies his own power throughout the story, he finds fragments scattered throughout the ruins. Objects that resonate with his very existence. By absorbing them, his Body, Mind and Soul mutates to something... forbidden. His strength grows unnaturally, defying established limits and knowledge. Yet with every fragment he claims, the world seems to react. Nightmares intensify. Monsters grow restless. Ancient ruins awaken. Unbeknownst to him, these fragments are not relics of the old world, nor remnants of lost technology. They're something far worse, holding the power to end what the Unknown God had started. And the more fragments he gathers, the closer he comes to completing something that should never exist again. In the end, Eli walks a dangerous path– one that blurs the line between savior and harbinger of ruin. For in a world built upon the wrath of a unknown god, the greatest threat may not be the monsters lurking in the dark… …but the heir unknowingly destined to bring godfall to its end.

Hunted by corrupted power-bearers, tested by allies, and forced to grow stronger, Noen faces an impossible truth: To save a world ruled by divine corruption, he must stand against those who call themselves gods.
