tragedy

Eighteen years ago, the Church’s Oracle foresaw a coming doom, and the gods chose two children, a Saint and a Hero, to face it. Born into noble families and trained in secret, Avery and Marie’s lives seemed destined for greatness… until a dark ritual changed everything. Ambushed by the powerful Lord Dragomir, Avery and Marie are captured and forced into a twisted vampire ritual. The ritual fails to destroy their unborn child, leaving a single infant alive, born into a world of blood, betrayal, and dark magic. Now, the child carries the fate of the prophecy in a world where the lines between divine blessing and cursed immortality blur. As shadows rise and powers awaken, the child of blood must navigate a perilous path between godly purpose, human fragility, and the horrors of the undead, while the forces that seek to control or destroy them gather in the darkness. Destiny has been rewritten, but will it save them or condemn them forever?

The Barrierborn Saga: the shattered veil. When the sky cracks, destiny bleeds through. Fifteen centuries ago, the world was divided — Humans, Gyents, Fae, and Elementals — sealed apart by a barrier forged in blood and magic. But nothing built on fear lasts forever. In the quiet human city of Lurea, Nabeeda, an ordinary girl with a stubborn heart and too many questions, begins to sense the impossible whispers in the wind, dreams of red lightning, and veins that glow when she touches the rain. When the barrier trembles and the ancient Gyents stir from their prison, Nabeeda discovers she is tied to the very magic that once sealed them. And when fate forces her hand, she becomes the spark that will break the world open again. Now hunted by those who fear her and haunted by what she’s unleashed, Nabeeda must decide: Will she save the world that fears her… or the one calling for her return

When the world is torn apart by the Mass Outbreak Event, portals open across the globe, spilling monsters that reduce civilization to ruin. Amid the chaos, a mysterious System awakens—granting survivors strange powers, abilities, and the chance to fight back… if they can survive its trials. Jagger Ashton, a teenage survivor, should have died on the first day. Instead, something inside him woke up. Now burdened with a voice that isn’t his, powers he never asked for, and memories he can’t trust, Jagger must navigate a world where humans are as dangerous as the monsters tearing it apart. Every encounter tests the limits of his sanity and the fragile line between control and corruption. As he joins forces with other survivors, each hiding secrets of their own, Jagger begins to uncover a darker truth: The Outbreak wasn’t random. The System isn’t neutral. And something far worse is coming. To live, Jagger must decide whether to resist the thing growing inside him… or embrace it. One choice could save what’s left of humanity. The other could end it.

This is a story about a man named Rex Zeno. He is the last survivor of his race. His entire species was hunted until extinction, but Rex refused to die. He knew that even if he hid and waited, he would eventually be killed by the people hunting his race, or he would die of old age. But Rex did not want to die. So he created a paradox in time and made himself immortal. He created a loop in time where he existed, but not in the same moment, making it impossible for anyone to kill him. Because he no longer lived inside normal reality, time had no effect on him anymore. He became an immortal being who broke the timeline of the universe. Now the entire universe wants to kill him, hoping to fix the time paradox and restore the timeline. But Rex has risen above all of them. He does not care what people think or what they want. He does not care if the universe is suffering because of him. Rex has his own goal, and he will not stop until he achieves it. This novel is based on time paradoxes and time bending concepts. Time is the main idea here. But you will also see many different races, from normal humans to dark elves, and even unique species like the Zeno. The story focuses mainly on Rex. I do not want to make it a multi-perspective story, but you will still see some different points of view when they are important. You will see Rex going about his business, doing things that look almost impossible, but always with a logical point behind them. He is powerful, but not like those overpowered characters who can do anything without consequences. Rex has a conscience, and his actions may or may not harm him in the future. Many of the time concepts in this novel are based on real scientific ideas, but you will also find sci-fi and fantasy elements mixed in. This story has a lot going on, so prepare yourself, because Rex Zeno is coming, and he does not give a fuck about anyone.

Long before anyone spoke the name Erynd Milton, the world had already eaten and forgotten its share of heroes. How Many Times Has It Been is not just his story. Scattered through its pages are lives that burned out centuries before he was born—men and women who fought, failed, endured, and left nothing behind but scars in the land and a few stubborn legends. This is one of those. A fragment from an older age, when bronze still drank blood and the Empire was young and hungry. The tale of Ivander Ghede, a boy who missed his shot, lost his home, and chose, in the ruins of everything he knew, not to be the hero who won… …but the hero who lasted.

Daniel Miller, a reincarnated stage magician, wakes up in the body of a low-level con artist inside the infamous Fox River Penitentiary. The catch? He knows everything about the prison's most elaborate escape plan from the future, and the clock is ticking down to Lincoln Burrows' execution. As Michael Scofield plans his breakout, Daniel must prove he's an asset—not a threat—by leveraging his enhanced skills. Daniel has three distinct advantages: Sleight of Hand & Dexterity: The original Daniel was a thief, and those muscle memories are now fused with the magician's training, giving him exceptional manual dexterity. This allows him to effortlessly pick pockets, palm cards, and manipulate objects with blinding speed and precision. Cold Reading & Deduction: His mind is sharper than before, giving him the unique ability to observe and deduce, or "read people like books". He can instantly spot tells for lies, physical injuries, and even deeply personal secrets just by observing body language and microexpressions. Low Presence Zone (LPZ): His most mysterious and taxing power, this is a "field of inattention" that allows him to manipulate the perception of others. When activated, the air around him shifts, making him virtually unnoticeable, enabling him to slip past security and cameras, a power that comes at a brutal physical cost with heavy use. To survive the violent hierarchy and earn a spot on the escape team, Daniel will have to use his impossible magic and mental acuity to become indispensable to Michael. He must play the game better than anyone, or risk watching Michael's brilliant plan—and Lincoln's life—fail.

warning: IT IS WHOLESOME!!! HEHEH "I'm cutesy" I was just taking a quiet late-night walk when I found… a child sleeping inside a dumpster. One thing led to another, and suddenly I became the accidental father of a kid no older than ten. The next morning, I woke up from a vivid dream: A mysterious Victorian woman whispering about "calamity, dungeons, portals, another world… yeah, good luck bro." She said all of that in the most casually elegant Victorian tone imaginable. But the real nightmare started when a floating screen appeared in front of me, spouting nonsense about quests and objectives. The day I picked up a child in a dumpster was the day my ordinary life ended. And that was when our story truly began.

Transmigrating into the world of Naruto, I opened my eyes only to discover — I had become Senju Nawaki, Tsunade’s younger brother. But fate had already marked Nawaki as a tragedy. In the original history, he was destined to die young, leaving behind only sorrow in the hearts of his sister and clan. A short-lived flame, extinguished before it could ever blaze. But I refuse to accept that ending. Awakening the mysterious Bloodline Replenishment System, I now possess the ability to strengthen, evolve, and perfect the legacy of the Senju. From Wood Release to hidden secrets buried in the bloodline, I will grasp powers even Hashirama himself could not fully control. Yet the shadow of history looms large. The First Hokage, Hashirama, left behind an ideal of peace — but also the burden of compromise that shattered the Senju’s dominance. The Second Hokage, Tobirama, sacrificed the clan’s strength for Konoha’s stability, leaving behind only fragments of a once-great house. And above it all sits the cunning Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen — the so-called “Professor,” praised as the strongest Hokage, but in truth, the mastermind who allowed the Senju clan to be erased from power. How should I face the gaping void left behind by Hashirama and Tobirama? How should I deal with Hiruzen, the old schemer, who writes history with lies and forces the Senju into decline? Why should I accept death before him? Why should Nawaki’s life burn out while the Third Hokage continues to cast his shadow over Konoha? No—this time will be different. With the Bloodline Replenishment System in hand, I will change destiny. I will surpass Hashirama and Tobirama. I will uproot Sarutobi Hiruzen’s schemes and reclaim the Senju’s rightful place. The Senju clan will not be exterminated. The Senju clan will not kneel. And I — Senju Nawaki — will live longer than anyone.... ... Read 30+ Advance Chapters on P@treon - [email protected]/Ren_Saga

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

The novel opens with Elara Vane, known only by her cold precision and her devastating vow to silence the House of Kaelen - the powerful, corrupt dynasty responsible for the execution of her father, Arthur Vane. Her father, an honest city architect, was murdered after exposing Kaelen's financial crimes, his memory silenced by the state. Elara’s quest is driven by the dark irony of the novel’s title, Epiglottis - the biological flap that prevents choking. She aims to ensure the Kaelen name, its legacy, and it's very breath, can never pass into the future. Elara’s methods are not those of a killer, but an architect of ruin. Her strikes are psychological and systemic, designed to preserve the Kaelen shell while poisoning its core. She begins by orchestrating the financial and social collapse of the eldest heir, Cassian, banishing him to ignominy. The second blow is even more tragic: deploying the Aesthetic Despondency Oil (ADO), a neuro-chemical weapon designed by her compromised mentor, Professor Thorne, to turn artistic creation into profound psychological pain for the daughter, Seraphina. Seraphina's resulting public breakdown ensures the loss of a crucial political marriage. As the dynasty begins to crumble, Elara encounters her greatest obstacle and most tragic complication: Commander Joric Tahl, the Head of Kaelen Security. Joric is a man of duty, a 'Shield' forced to serve a corrupt house to maintain life support for his critically ill sister, Elena. In their professional meetings - where Elara wears the mask of "Archivist Veridia" - a profound intellectual and moral connection forms. Joric is hunting a ghost; Elara is the ghost, and their shared despair over the city's corruption binds them in a devastating, impossible attraction. The tragic climax begins when Elara attempts the final, financial strike against Valen Kaelen, only to be blocked by the A-V-LOCK, the impenetrable firewall designed by her own murdered father. This failure forces Elara to abandon her moral code and plan a final, biological attack - the Mnemotic Lapse agent - targeting the youngest, most innocent Kaelen son, Elias, through the city's nutrient supply chain (The Citadel Gardens). The confrontation at the Citadel is the devastating turning point. Joric, having traced the biological threat and realized Elara's identity, arrives with the antidote. He confronts her, not with a weapon, but with a challenge: whether her father's "silent justice" truly extends to the erasure of a child's mind. Elara's resolve breaks, but the compound is accidentally released, contaminating the entire Kaelen food source. In the aftermath, Joric makes his agonizing choice: he cannot save the Kaelen name, but he must save Elena. He spares Elara, extracting a final pact - she must deliver the evidence of Valen Kaelen’s crimes, including the A-V-LOCK key, to ensure the dynasty’s public, total exposure, which would secure a new, honest government that would protect Elena. Elara complies, trading her freedom for the truth. In the epilogue, the Kaelen dynasty is utterly erased. Joric becomes a respected advisor in the new government, ensuring Elena's safety. Elara Vane, the architect of ruin, chooses the required silence, living as a quiet librarian in a distant coastal town. Her vengeance is complete, having restored her father's truth. Her final piece of closure is a new copy of her father’s book, delivered by Joric, bearing the inscription: The Epiglottis protects the breath. The truth sets it free. The silent vengeance leads not to further death, but to a collective breath of freedom for the city.
