tragedy

"Why I'm here? What am I doing here?" "I don't really know what the hell I am doing. But seems like I only have limited choice." Asep Ridwan, former street criminal who just released from prison, found himself in another world without explanation. An existence without cause. With nothing but cravings for nicotine, he found himself entangled in geopolitical mess in the region, turning his quest for tobacco into survival in the middle of conflict.

"What if, some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'That life as you now see and have seen it, you will have to live it once more and innumerable times more....'" Finding himself inside a novel he was reading. 'He' is thrown unprepared into a daunting situation, bearing the burden of a Name no one should bear.

Beneath a blood-red moon, a lone samurai fights a battle that seems destined to end in tragedy. As his comrades fall and darkness consumes the battlefield, one final clash leaves everything uncertain. But what if the end of one story is only the beginning of another? Far from the horrors of war, a young warrior stands at the beginning of a journey he cannot yet understand. With little more than determination and a world of possibilities before him, he must discover what it truly means to wield a sword—and what it means to protect the people who matter most. In a world shaped by ancient magic, powerful warriors, mysterious creatures, and forgotten secrets, every friendship carries meaning, every choice has consequences, and not every enemy is what they seem. As bonds are forged and dangers emerge, fragments of something unsettling linger at the edges of his understanding. A crimson moon. A battlefield. A darkness that refuses to be forgotten. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a fate waiting to be challenged.

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

In the storm-shadowed streets of Mizunashi, where skyscrapers loom over shrines and history bleeds into neon light, two ancient swords ignite a war that will scar generations. Forged in the Edo era by warrior-pharmacist Minizawa Hukitaske Murakaze, the Pharmaceutical Twin Blades were said to heal with one strike and poison with the other. Long sealed away, they now draw the attention of a phantom thief, a resurging crime syndicate, and a forgotten brother. Dr. Akio Murasaki Hukitaske, once only a humble pharmacist, is thrust into a nightmare when the Phantom Analyst-a masked thief with a face eerily like his own-steals one of the blades. As the Red Smoke Bandits rise from legend and blood soaked marks with fox-mask wounds fill the streets, Akio and his mismatched family-Raka, the broad-shouldered Gucci-wearing granny brute; Hikata, the jokester TV host with fists of steel; Rumane, calm and calculating; Riki, ex-delinquent turned former officer sheriff; and Akazuchi, the shy prodigy coder-must battle through grief, betrayal, and blood-soaked truth. From rooftop chases to warehouse massacres, every fight cuts deeper than steel. Loyalties fracture, secrets bleed out, and Akio must face the hardest truth: to protect the living, he must understand the fate of the brother who became a thief, and the legacy of blades that "do not only cut flesh-they cut fate." A tale of science, shadow, and sacrifice-a Japanese thriller where family, history, and destiny collide. (ALREADY ON WATTPAD, NOW ON WEBNOVEL)

When Marcus lost his daughter to a ruthless human trafficking network, the world didn’t just fail him—it buried the truth with her. Consumed by grief and rage, Marcus abandons the law that failed to protect his child and steps into the shadows, determined to dismantle the empire responsible. One by one, he begins hunting the men behind the trade—men shielded by power, wealth, and influence. Politicians, elites, untouchables… the very people who write and bend the rules. But revenge is not justice—it’s a descent. As Marcus digs deeper, he discovers that this network runs far beyond criminals in dark alleys. It thrives in polished offices, behind smiling faces, and within the very system meant to uphold justice. To bring them down, Marcus must become something more dangerous than the men he hunts. More brutal. More merciless. More feared. Each step closer to vengeance pulls him further away from the man he once was—and the father his daughter loved. Lines blur. Morality fades. And the question becomes unavoidable: If he destroys monsters by becoming one… what will be left of him in the end? The Man In Her Father’s Skin is a dark, emotional thriller about grief, power, and the cost of revenge—where justice has a price, and the soul may be the final sacrifice.

PROJECT; HOLLOW ZERO Some secrets are better left buried. Others refuse to stay that way. In the city of Aoshima, danger is never as far away as it seems. Behind the routines of everyday life lies a world shaped by mysterious supernatural phenomena, dangerous entities known as Ghouls, and extraordinary individuals capable of wielding powers through mysterious manifestations called Binders. Among those drawn into this world are Takumi Kisaragi, friends, students and young Vanguards with distinct personalities, abilities, and ambitions, they find themselves navigating a world where strength alone is rarely enough to survive. As they encounter increasingly dangerous threats, their battles become intertwined with something far more complicated than simple survival. Hidden agendas, unexplained disappearances, powerful organizations, and secrets buried beneath Aoshima's surface begin to reveal a reality that even those entrusted with protecting the city may not fully understand. But the deeper they venture, the more uncertain everything becomes. Allies have their own intentions. Answers lead to increasingly disturbing questions. And the line between what is human and what lies beyond it grows harder to recognize. In a city where power comes with consequences and the truth is never quite what it appears to be, young Vanguards must find their place in a world that seems determined to pull them into something much bigger than themselves. The closer they get to the truth, the deeper they descend into Project Zero.

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible.

Now, armed with fragments of knowledge from alternate realities, Claude knows one thing: the peaceful village of Buena is not safe. A disaster is coming—the Mana Calamity—and no one is prepared. So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

Waking up in the Warring States period is a death sentence. Waking up as an Uchiha during the height of their bloody feud with the Senju is even worse. My name is Gen. Adopted into the main family, I spend my days navigating a minefield. My older cousin, Madara, is a legendary prodigy carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. My younger cousin, Izuna, looks at me like he wants to slit my throat—mostly because he can’t beat me in a spar. But they aren't my biggest problem. Sealed inside my mind is an entity—a rigid, demanding construct that calls itself a 'System.' It wants blood. It wants conquest. It threatens absolute erasure if I don't follow its script to become a tyrannical overlord. But throwing my life away on the front lines is a fool's errand. If this thing wants a mastermind to rule from the shadows, I’ll give it one—but on my own terms, in my own time, and with a court of my own making.

Shen Zhu never knew tenderness. He knew the whip before words, poison before hunger, and death before he understood what life meant. Behind every blow and wound, eyes watched him with a love that looked nothing like mercy, and hands pushed him to fall so they could teach him how to rise. He grew up in a world that gives nothing for free, where strength is measured in scars, friendship is built upon the corpses of beasts, and fate smiles mockingly at those who try to escape it.
