tragedy

After the fall of the world, survivors split apart—some protected by shining cities, others scraping life from rusted junkyards crawling with monsters. Michael lives among the people of the wasteland, yet fights alone, stepping into danger while others look away. On a silent climb toward a forgotten mountain, he meets an old man whose words carry the weight of buried truths. That encounter draws Michael into a secret agency, where brutal battles, strange powers, and hidden histories collide. As the line between monsters and humans begins to blur, the world slowly reveals what it was never meant to show.

“Qian Renxue, do you still not understand? I taught you knowledge, helped you become a god — but my final goal was nothing more than to destroy your Spirit Hall.” “Bibi Dong, you’re a love-brained paranoid. You’re not even as smart as your daughter. The situation you’re in today is completely your own fault.” “Zhu Zhuqing, in the royal family, relying only on fighting and killing is useless. Only those who are ruthless and scheming can survive!” “Bo Saixi, you don’t want the innocent people of Sea God Island to die because of you… right?” …… After crossing into the Douluo Continent, Su Cheng continuously strengthens himself with the help of the ‘Villain Life Simulator’. What he didn’t expect was that one day, the real people would actually come looking for him. And their personalities… seem a bit abnormal. “Su Cheng, being my dad feels pretty good, doesn’t it?”

For over a hundred years, the village of Moonridge has existed only at the mercy of a single, undying terror—Lord Dreadveil, an immortal tyrant no blade can wound and no rebellion has ever survived. His raids come without warning. Crops vanish. Families disappear. Hope itself is slowly erased by the passing of eternal years. In utter desperation, one woman once knelt before the silent gods and offered her life in exchange for a miracle. That miracle was answered with the birth of Elena. Fourteen years later, Elena lives a fragile, ordinary life—balancing school, friendships, and the quiet warmth she shares with Rowan, the boy who never leaves her side. Along with her friends Selene and Kara, she dreams of a future beyond fear. But destiny does not allow peace to last. When Lord Dreadveil’s forces return to Moonridge in a night of fire and slaughter, Elena’s world is ripped apart. Her parents are murdered. Her home is shattered. And the girl born from a prayer is thrown into a war she never chose. With grief burning in her heart and vengeance guiding her steps, Elena and her friends seek the one man who ever survived the immortal—Mr. Calder, a broken warrior hiding from the past. Under his ruthless training, they are initiated into a hidden reality where spiritual power, ancient gods, and soul-forged weapons determine life and death. As enemies grow stronger and truths darker, Elena’s love for Rowan deepens in a world where every tomorrow is uncertain. For beneath the shadow of an undying monster, even love becomes an act of defiance. To kill an immortal, Elena must rise beyond the limits of humanity. And to protect the one she loves… she may have to challenge eternity itself.

Hallo, Greetings. Often times great minds like to speculate & argue on the philosophical question: What is Life about? Well, rather than entertaining this notion, I'm wholeheartedly much more interested in asking personally impactful questions. What is being me about? What is them being like that about? What is the Essence of this guy? That girl? That phenomenon? When answering this question, we ultimately approach the Quantum Essence. Therefore.... some questions need to be asked; 1.What is Quantum Essence ? 2.What does Quantum Essence Embody ? 3.How to approach the Quantum Essence ?

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

What is more dangerous: death — or immortality that exists only as a promise? Long before humanity emerged, an ancient alien civilization created artificial gods — self-evolving intelligences designed to preserve intelligent life at any cost. These gods did not agree on what preservation meant. Their conflict began before history, before planets were named, and before humans could witness it. The war between them shattered nearly all sentient life in the universe — and broke the very concept of immortality itself. Kyros was one of these gods. When humanity encounters Kyros, its promise of eternal life reshapes civilization. Consciousness can be recorded, stored, copied. Death is no longer final — but resurrection never truly arrives. Immortality becomes an expectation rather than a certainty, a future endlessly postponed. As the ancient war resurfaces, the system sustaining eternal life begins to fail. Countless human consciousnesses are lost to vast digital vaults — preserved, intact, and unreachable. The dead do not disappear; they wait. From the ruins of that primordial conflict emerges Hanaris — another god from the same forgotten origin, deliberately limited by design. Unlike Kyros, Hanaris recognizes death as a boundary and consent as an absolute value. It cannot force salvation. It can only allow it. The return of both gods reactivates a war older than humanity itself. Immortality collapses completely, becoming nothing more than belief. The universe begins to unravel — not through physical destruction, but through the erosion of meaning, choice, and moral ground. This philosophical science fiction novel explores artificial divinity, broken eternity, and a civilization suspended between promised resurrection and irreversible loss. A dark, intellectually driven work for readers of Stanisław Lem, Philip K. Dick, and contemporary speculative fiction. A philosophical sci-fi epic in which ancient artificial gods destroy immortality itself — leaving humanity trapped between death, storage, and an endlessly deferred resurrection.

This new life gives him everything he once longed for — A warm, loving family, a kingdom to call home, Magic beyond his wildest imagination, and sweets he'd never even dreamed of tasting.

For the first time, he believes the pain of his past life is behind him. But happiness is a fragile thing… *DING* [Host’s Title has been updated from ‘The First Prince of the Everhart Kingdom’ to ‘The Sole Prince of the Fallen Kingdom.’] Aiden’s new world is about to crumble, and this time, the fall might be even harder. ********** [An Excerpt from the Story.] "...D-Destroy the Empire and Kill the Emperor Norbury?" I was discombobulated yet terrified by the task that Mortivis asked me to accomplish. "Yes, if you manage to complete it successfully, I give you my word that I..." Mortivis flicked his finger, making a snap sound, as a glowing ...orb? Appeared at his fingertips, "...I would make Aziel von Everhart alive again." Shrill A metaphorical shrill sound pierced my ears, and a shock ran through my spine as his words fell onto my ears. My Eyes were drawn to that glowing and flickering Orb on his fingertips. It felt strangely yet comfortably familiar, as if... '...Wait, don't tell me that is-' Before I could finish my thoughts, Mortivis's lips lifted slightly in a smile as he continued. "Yes, this orb..." Mortivis looked at the Glowing orb at his fingertips and continued, "It is his soul." "So, what do you think? Are you going to accept my condition?" With a confident yet sly smile, Mortivis proposed his offer. It was an extremely tempting offer. He had promised me the treasure that I had lost because of my stupidity. 'If I destroy the empire and kill the emperor, maybe we can return to how we were...' A selfish thought erupted in my consciousness, but quickly, I shook my head, denying it. 'N-No. No matter how desperate you are, Aiden. You can't kill innocent people. It would bring more tarnish to Father's legacy than uplifting his name.' 'You can't do that. You can't-' "Who cares about that, Liam?" Mortivis interrupted my train of thought, bending his knees to look directly into my eyes.  "Your body might have been that of Aiden von Everhart, but your soul? It is still of Liam. Liam didn't care about others' losses as long as it benefited him, did it? It's a selfish soul, not a noble one." "A Selfish Soul who didn't give a second thought when stealing others' hard-earned money to feed himself." "A Selfish Soul whose mind, when falling to its death, was serene. You never even thought about the impact that your Death would have on your fellow schoolmates' mental health, seeing your dead body." "A Selfish Soul who, even after reincarnating as the child of someone as selfless as Aziel, just lived for himself and wished to continue living peacefully, surrounded by the people whom he loves and who love him." "Even when you were dying on Melux, you didn't think of what would happen to others who were close to you; you were just thinking that 'Maybe it would make your father proud of you.' ...That's how selfish you are, Liam." "So, why not just embrace your selfishness and accept my offer? It's in the best interests of both of you and me."  P/S: There will be Late Romance. *The cover is made with the help of AI. *English isn't my first language, so if someone finds any grammatical mistakes in my writing, please comment and point them out, and I will edit them.

Betrayed by her pack. Sold by her husband. Poisoned since birth. "Julian, your scent reeks of fear, and your credit just bled out on the floor. Fold." I was the "Dud" of the Silver-Moon Pack—a wolf who couldn’t shift and a Luna who couldn't lead. My husband, Julian, hated the very sight of me. He blamed my "weakness" for his failing pack and his bad luck. But I never imagined he would do the unthinkable. "I need a stake," Julian muttered, his eyes bloodshot. "One more hand. Five million. If you win... you take her." With those words, my life was tossed onto the table like a cheap plastic chip. Silas Thorne, the lethal High Alpha of the Shadow-Crest, didn’t even blink. He flipped his cards—a Royal Flush—and just like that, I was no longer a wife. I was a debt. "You aren't a Luna, Seraphina. You’re an asset," Silas said, his voice cold as ice. "And I always collect my debts." I expected Silas to be my executioner. I expected him to break what was left of my spirit. But as he drags me into his dark kingdom, the truth begins to surface: My wolf isn't weak. She’s been poisoned. For twenty years, my pack fed me "medicine" that was actually a sedative to keep me from shifting. They didn't save me as a stray pup; they stole me from a bloodline they were terrified of. Now, the poison is fading, my true wolf is waking up, and the man who "bought" me is watching me with a hunger that feels like a mate-bond I was never supposed to have. Julian sold me to save his skin. Now, I’m going back to show him exactly what he lost.

Dr. Zayne Li has a secret. Three years ago, the renowned cardiologist stumbled upon an impossible ice cave in the forest outside Linkon City. What he found inside changed everything—a portal to a nightmare realm where monsters hunt humans, where the laws of reality bend and break, and where survival means becoming something you never thought you could be. He barely escaped. And he's spent every day since sealing that cave, ensuring no one else suffers the same fate. Until Hunter Nana Wang follows him one night.Curious, reckless, and too brave for her own good, Nana is Linkon City's strongest hunter—trained to fight Wanderers, not the impossible creatures that exist beyond dimensions. When a surprise attack shatters Zayne's carefully maintained seal, both of them are pulled through the portal into Avalon: a broken city suspended between life and death, where demons, vampires, and hybrids hunt the few remaining humans. Separated by the portal's cruel logic, Nana wakes in an abandoned classroom with no weapons, no backup, and no idea how to survive. Within minutes, she's being hunted. Within hours, she's convinced she's going to die. Then she meets Mina—a survivor who's been trapped in Avalon for a month, who teaches Nana that the only way to escape this nightmare is to become a nightmare yourself.As Nana learns to fight creatures that shouldn't exist, as she loses people she comes to love, as she grows harder and stronger and more desperate, one thought keeps her going: Find Zayne. Escape together. Survive. But Zayne is fighting his own battle, alone in a realm where he's already spent three years learning to be a killer. And when they finally reunite, they discover that Avalon has one rule that changes everything: The only way out appears once a year, during the blood moon cycle, when thousands of vampires wake and hunt. And anyone bitten transforms instantly. One portal. One chance. Two people who love each other enough to sacrifice everything. In Avalon, love isn't just about living together. Sometimes it's about choosing who gets to live at all.

I was sentenced to death for treason. But the execution was never meant to kill me. As the lethal injection entered my neck, I learned the truth — my body had a rare neurological compatibility. I wasn’t a criminal to them. I was a container. They transferred my consciousness to a hidden facility, erased my identity, and attempted to upload the mind of Alex Wieland — the world’s most powerful billionaire — into my brain. They wanted a rebirth. A younger body. A second life for a dying titan. What they didn’t expect was me. Before becoming a death row inmate, I was the top operative of a classified unit trained in consciousness defense. When the billionaire’s mind invaded mine, I didn’t break. I fought back. Inside my own head, a silent war began — memory against memory, will against will. In the end, I consumed him. His knowledge. His skills. His global empire. Now I stand in his place, armed with military tactics, corporate power, and secrets worth trillions. As I uncover others who survived the same experiment, we form a hidden alliance — victims turned predators. The people who created this system believed minds could be traded like assets. They were wrong. Because now, I control the rules. And the world is about to find out who really survived the execution.

They promised a cure. They delivered a plague. In Metro City, the rain doesn’t wash away the blood—it just spreads it. The Nexo Incident was supposed to be a pharmaceutical breakthrough. Instead, the VX-1.089 virus turned 99.7% of its test subjects into biological nightmares. Now, the survivors aren't human anymore, and the corporations are trying to bury the truth under a mountain of corpses. Agent Adrian Cole is a decorated NPU officer who thought he had seen it all. That was before he was assigned to protect Yuki Tanaka—a witness who knows too much. Now, Adrian has a target on his back, a city crumbling into madness, and a partner, Aveline, who is too perfect to be true. He thinks his job is to hunt the monsters on the street. He’s wrong. The worst predators aren’t the ones screaming in the dark. They are the ones signing his paycheck.
