tragedy

In the post-war era, when the world had barely taken a breath, something far worse had already been born. He was neither Devil nor God—he was something far beyond both

In a world where a rare few can manifest BioAether, the life force that grants godlike powers, humanity remains blissfully unaware of the hidden war simmering beneath its cities. Among those who awaken, power comes at a cost—shortened lifespans, relentless battles, and the weight of destiny itself. Hyazo Anaka, a bullied teenager with no desire for revenge, finds his life torn apart when he witnesses a clash between an unstoppable monster and the enigmatic teacher Kira Guishea. In that moment, something awakens within him—a vast well of BioAether capable of Aetherstrike and a mysterious stacking power that grows with each strike he lands. But the true horror arrives when the world’s first and most feared BioAether, Hanma Mamoguro, whose very presence invites destruction, becomes sealed within Hyazo, fusing their lifeforces. Now, Hyazo carries unimaginable power, but at a devastating cost: every battle risks losing himself, every victory threatens death, and every friend is a reminder of what he might destroy. As factions collide—the protective Altima Core, the aristocratic Aether Guild, the ruthless Daniel’s Mafia, and the anarchic Freedom Fighters—Hyazo must navigate a society that fears and hunts him, while learning the terrifying truth: the most powerful BioAether is no longer just a legend. It is inside him.

Kael is born in the Ashlands, a place where people die so kingdoms can sleep safely. When his village is wiped out during a monster raid and forgotten by the nobles meant to protect it, Kael is left with nothing but ash and a broken oath. Determined to survive, he sets out to become a knight—not for glory, but to reclaim a name the world erased. As war spreads across the borders and monsters grow bolder, Kael begins to realize that the true enemy may not be beyond the walls, but within them.

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

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

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.

Synopsis In the modern world, Ling Tian wakes in a hospital after an accident on Floating Plaza Bridge, desperate to find his brother Yang. He learns Yang died swerving to avoid a fallen tree and save three children during a storm-induced mudslide. Grieving, Ling Tian visits The Lantern’s Fate—the shop he and Yang dreamed of opening—where Wu Lan arrives with a finished bird lantern identical to his birthmark, which Yang had left for their opening day. The two confess their long-held feelings for each other and agree to hang the lantern in Yang’s honor. That night, Ling Tian’s birthmark glows warm, pulling him into a vision of a mountain ledge in an unknown place. A boy who looks exactly like him—Lin Yun—lies wounded, clutching a glowing green plant as three armed men approach. Lin Yun presses the plant into Ling Tian’s hand and shares his wish to be strong enough to protect others before passing away. When their skin touches, a wave of light merges them, and Ling Tian vanishes from his bedroom, leaving only his green stone necklace and the blinking bird lantern to alarm Wu Lan and his parents. Ling Tian wakes in Lin Yun’s body on the cold ledge, then later finds himself tended to by a broad-shouldered man with Yang’s eyes, who teases him and insists on being called "Master Baby." The pair travels to The Crooked Mug tavern, where an old bearded man and a bright-eyed young girl approach their table, with the girl exclaiming that Ling Tian (as Lin Yun) is "the one." The girl helps herself to bread while the old man plays a flute and sings a song about time, space, and hidden paths, then shows off a glowing drink called "Brook-Song Gold" before they depart. When Yang returns slightly drunk, he steals two horses to escape the stable owner’s wrath, and Ling Tian clumsily mounts the second horse. They ride past cultivation sect lands—Sunfire Clan, Dragon’s Scale Herb Gardens, Earth Spirit Sect, and Misty Cloud Sect—before reaching Grass Valley Village. Yang notices Ling Tian’s unusual spiritual energy and questions him, then brushes it off as a joke. In the village, Ling Tian unconsciously releases a wave of energy to protect children from a falling tree branch, surprising guard Da Peng with powers he didn’t have days before. At the family estate, Ling Tian’s boxing stances confuse his father Lord Lin Wei, who scolds him before sensing his open meridians in awe. His sister Xiao runs to embrace him, and his mother Lady Mei Lian calms her husband. From the roof, the old man and girl sing their song again, then transform into radiant, divine forms before vanishing in silver mist. As Ling Tian’s hand touches his father’s, a jolt of power passes between them.

Riyura Shiko isn't your average transfer student-he's a walking thunderclap in a school uniform, armed with a red bow tie, gravity-defying purple hair, and the kind of energy that could power a small city. After a catastrophic incident involving pudding, a ferret, and one tragically heroic trampoline, Riyura is relocated to the halls of Jeremy High in hopes of a "fresh start." The problem? Wherever Riyura goes, normality checks out early. From the moment he bursts through the school gates-shouting greetings at trees, challenging basketball players to dribble pineapples, and composing lunch-table operas for his dumplings-Jeremy High becomes a whirlwind of laughter, embarrassment, and improbable friendship. Yet beneath the slapstick chaos beats a restless heart. Riyura's outrageous confidence hides a kid who's terrified of being ordinary, and his unstoppable antics are his way of reminding everyone-especially himself-that joy still matters. As his classmates slowly learn to see past the absurdity, they discover a spark they didn't know they needed: the courage to be strange, sincere, and fully alive. The Names Riyura Shiko! is a high-energy shonen comedy packed with ridiculous stunts, heartfelt surprises, and the occasional flying pineapple. It's a story about finding belonging not by fitting in-but by blowing the doors off normal and dancing through the confetti that follows. And it is highly unfunny... because it does not aim to be funny. It aims to be as stupid as possible to the point where it annoys the viewer. Because being funny ain't my middle name, because why would I want that! - Sincerely Locke Weisz... :))

They called me the "Blue-Eyed Monster" the moment I learned that being born different meant being disposable. I returned to my real family with a fragile hope—to find home, warmth, the meaning of *family*. Instead, my return marked the beginning of everything collapsing. I learned obedience. I lowered my head. I erased myself for scraps of attention, believing that if I were good enough, useful enough, I would be loved. That attention didn’t save me—it destroyed me, hardening my heart and turning me into the monster they created. When hope finally felt within reach, I discovered the cruelest truth: it was never love, only a shield. To protect themselves, they sacrificed me. A scapegoat. A prisoner. Abandoned without explanation, without a single glance back. Five years passed in silence and betrayal. When I returned, I no longer sought attention or begged for recognition. The **Blue-Eyed Monster** was dead. Only someone who had learned to stay away remained. Yet no matter how hard I tried to avoid everyone, I still fell before the one person I feared most. My body trembled. “I—I’m sorry.” “I will never forgive you.”

Gifted with the Star Lightning Arts, his body and mind grow at an unnatural speed, pushing him beyond mortal limits. But in the shadows of his soul, a voice whispers—an entity both mentor and madness, urging him toward greatness or ruin.

A world stands on the brink of collapse. Yuuta Misaki, a lonely 22-year-old otaku, is suddenly summoned into another world and declared a Hero. Prophecies speak of awakening Demon Kings and a catastrophe that will consume everything. Yet the fate of the world does not rest on his shoulders alone. It rests on a small wolf girl— a child feared by society, rejected by her own mother, and silently accompanied by death itself. Kubato carries a destiny far heavier than she could ever understand. Bound to her is Akumu, the embodiment of death—an ancient and mysterious existence from a long-forgotten era, neither fully god nor demon. His motives are unclear, his past buried beneath countless ages, and his presence brings both protection and terror. As Yuuta searches for the wolf girl foretold by prophecy, their paths move inevitably toward one another. What awaits them is not a simple heroic journey, but a world filled with suffering, brutal truths, political schemes, and relentless battles. Adventure awaits— along with pain, sacrifice, and overwhelming action. This is not a story of a perfect hero. It is a story of fate, loss, and the price of survival in a world that fears what it cannot understand. ------------------------------------------------- I will Post the Story on Wattpad, Inkitt and RoyalRoad.com too. I am the original author and will poste it under the Name ShyGuy.

At the orphanage, an unnatural curse spreads: the younger kids are falling ill, their bodies marked with black-violet cracks that pulse like bruises beneath their skin. No one knows what causes it - or how to stop it. Only two kids can leave the orphanage to find answers: Soren, the responsible eldest with water magic, and Cyrus, the reckless dual nature and fire-wielder who's as sharp-tongued as he is stubborn. But when the prankster twins Ray and Jay and nature weilding Marryanne secretly stow away, the group becomes a chaotic band of misfits on a dangerous journey-one that tests loyalties, reveals hidden powers, and forces Soren and Cyrus to finally face the complicated feelings between them. And if Cyrus doesn't keep the younger kids in line, the curse might be the least of their problems.

In a world where loyalty is currency and love is weakness, Ivy Thorne walks a razor’s edge between survival and revenge. Betrayed by the Council that destroyed her family and hunted by the ghosts of her past, she must lead a fractured pack against impossible odds. But when the ruthless, immortal Executioner Darius Zane steps into her path, the line between enemy and desire blurs—and the very bond she’s sworn to ignore could be the key to victory… or the chain that drags her into darkness. Dangerous, forbidden, and unrelentingly dark, this is a story of war, betrayal, and a love that could burn everything to ashes. “He’s 242 years old, cold, and deadly. She’s 21, bitter, and hunted—but when fate throws them together, forbidden desire ignites a war that could consume them both.”

Some legends are forged by ambition. Others are carved by war. And some come into existence simply because a certain man happened to pass through. Altair Vane walks a vast fantasy world ruled by celestials, angels, demons, ancient orders, and empires that have stood unchallenged for ages. He does not seek power. He does not seek conquest. He does not seek purpose. He walks because the world exists. Cast into an era far removed from the one he remembers, Altair chooses the simplest path—becoming an adventurer. Not to change the world, but to see how it has changed… and to enjoy whatever lies ahead. Along his journey, he gains companions, forms bonds, and crosses paths with a cold, enigmatic woman whose presence quietly draws the attention of forces far older than they appear. As Altair travels across kingdoms, ruins, and forgotten realms, stories begin to spread. Not because he seeks to become a legend— but because legends have a habit of forming wherever he stands. This is a tale of adventure, camaraderie, and quiet heroism. A story of a man who never bowed— and a world slowly learning that some figures are not meant to be understood, restrained, or challenged— only witnessed. Tags.
