tragedy

he world did not change. He did. It began with something subtle—an angle that didn’t quite exist, a silence that felt… intentional. At first, it was easy to ignore. A trick of perception. A lapse in focus. Until it noticed him back. As reality fractures into overlapping layers of meaning, he is pulled into something far beyond understanding—a structure that observes, categorizes, and reshapes existence itself. But he is not alone. Something else has seen the deviation. And now, caught between forces that do not think in human terms, he must hold onto the one thing slowly being stripped away—his identity. Because in this world, being seen is not survival. It is selection.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

So here's the thing — this isn't really a Naruto Uzumaki's story. It's about the other guy living inside him. The one who took every bad memory, every insult, every rotten childhood moment so Naruto didn't have to. We call him Menma. And unlike Naruto, Menma isn't interested in being Hokage or making friends or any of that. He has different plans. If you like dark, smart, morally grey characters who play the long game — give this a shot. Start reading. You'll figure out pretty quickly if this is your thing.

In a world where power is not taken, but woven, supremacy belongs to those who can pull the right threads—of fate, will, and blood. Aerthos is governed by invisible laws: magic bound by conceptual weight, authority shaped by belief, and strength measured not just in force, but in what reality is willing to tolerate. Kings fall not to swords, but to decisions made too late. Gods watch, but do not intervene—unless the balance demands it. At the center of this world stands Aren Locke, a gifted yet dangerously detached young man who believes one thing above all: If he does not choose, someone worse will. Thrown into a brutal system that forges leaders, soldiers, and rulers under the guise of order, Aren is forced to confront a truth few are willing to face—power does not corrupt; it reveals. Each step forward tightens unseen threads around him, binding him to outcomes he cannot escape. As factions collide, ancient forces stir, and morality erodes under pressure, Aren must decide what kind of supremacy he is willing to claim: • Rule through control • Rule through sacrifice • Or rule by becoming something the world cannot justify killing With allies who may one day become enemies, and enemies who speak uncomfortable truths, Aren’s ascent reshapes not only his fate—but the structure of Aerthos itself. Because in the end, supremacy is not about standing above others. It is about deciding who is allowed to fall. "Power is not seized. It is permitted."

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

In the prosperous Kaiyuan era of the Great Tang Dynasty, the Yunlan (Cloud Mist) Family of Chang'an is an ancient hidden immortal clan with primordial immortal spirit bloodline. On the surface, they are a flourishing noble house; in secret, they inherit the immortal path. The legitimate son, Xiao Yichen, is born with the "Spirit-Communing Immortal Jade." He disdains mortal fame and power but is deeply fond of poetry, wine, romance, and the sisters in the garden. The talented lady from Jiangnan, Liu Yanluo, lost her parents and suffers from spirit qi backlash that leaves her chronically ill. She seeks refuge in the Yunlan Mansion and possesses the Phoenix Spirit Root, her poetic talent unmatched in the world. The Immortal Jade resonates with the Phoenix spirit qi. The two meet for the first time in the rear garden, planting deep roots of affection. Facing forced marriage by the family, undercurrents in the imperial court, and demonic cultivators stirring chaos during the An-Shi Rebellion, they join hands to practice dual cultivation. They endure emotional tribulations, demonic tribulations, and heavenly tribulations, ultimately shattering the void to ascend to the immortal realm. There, they become eternal immortal companions, fulfilling an unfinished bond from a previous life.

What if you were given the chance to travel… not to one world, but to countless worlds? Worlds where light and darkness clash, where mercy and cruelty walk side by side. This is what happened to Arthur Narin. An assassin who spent his life drenched in blood and betrayal, knowing nothing but killing and survival. Until one ordinary day, he found himself surrounded by enemies who had come to end him. He did not run. He did not tremble. He smiled… and fought until his final breath. But death was not the end. It was the beginning. From that moment on, his journey through other worlds began — a journey filled with pain, conflict and choices that would determine whether he would remain the monster he once was… or become something entirely different.

Five years ago, the sky tore open. Rifts bled monsters into the world—beasts beyond reason, nightmares given flesh. Nations fell. Borders vanished. Civilization collapsed into factions and fortified cities, clawing to survive a reality rewritten by cosmic horror. Amid the chaos, a new kind of human emerged—Hunters, awakened with powers no one understands. They are soldiers, mercenaries, and weapons in a war with no end. Ha Joon is not one of them. Or so he thinks. Plagued by memories he doesn’t trust and a name tied to shadows, Ha Joon is pulled into a brutal training program hidden deep within the forest. Overseen by Chi Long—an enigmatic woman whose discipline is as cruel as it is surgical—he is stripped of comfort, humanity, and choice. His only company: Eun Byol, a former idol kidnapped and thrown into the same nightmare, her spirit breaking as she’s forced to become something she was never meant to be. Together, they must survive Chi Long’s merciless tests, the monsters that lurk beyond the trees, and the truth buried in their blood. All while two names—Ash and Tears—haunt the edges of the world like ghosts. Whispers say they’ve seen the end. And it begins again with Ha Joon.

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

In a world where divinity is bought with the price of a life, to ascend is to die. ​For eons, the hierarchy of existence has been absolute. At the peak sit the Four Pillars—celestial entities who hold the keys to the higher Acts. They are not merely rulers; they are the gatekeepers of the soul. While they grant the power for mortals to rise, they are the ones who decide when the ladder ends. They do not want equals; they want subjects. ​Orion del Emris was never meant to be a legend. He possesses no "cheat" system, no divine lineage, and no prophecy to protect him. He is simply a man fueled by a terrifying, singular determination—a will that refuses to stay buried. ​In this world, the "Ordeals" are the only path to power. To reach a new Act, you must ritualistically meet your end. But the cycle is rigged. The resurrection windows are narrow, the risks of total soul-erased "Rebirth" are constant, and the Four Pillars are always watching for any spark that shines too brightly. ​Orion must navigate a landscape of Master-level sovereigns, ancient artifacts with soul-crushing costs, and a cold war between gods that threatens to tear reality apart. He will die once. He will die a hundred times. But each time he claws his way back from the grave, the Four Pillars realize too late: ​Some men are too stubborn to stay dead.

Their marriage was just a deal. Until the princess asked: "So you plan to abandon me after you’ve used me?"

She has died for him nine times. In every past life, Seol Areum loved the same man — cold, brilliant, and utterly unreachable. A crown prince. A warlord. A nameless soldier. A ruthless CEO. Different faces, same soul. And in every single life, she watched him die in her arms... or worse, watched him forget her entirely. Now she's back. Again. Reincarnated into the body of a disgraced noble's daughter in a kingdom on the brink of war — and he is here too. Prince Kaien. The most feared man in the empire, with eyes like winter and a heart locked behind walls she's spent nine lifetimes trying to break. He doesn't remember her. He never does. But this time, something is different. Because this time — he's looking at her first. And this time, Seol Areum isn't going to cry, sacrifice herself, or let fate win. She's going to be selfish. She's going to be ruthless. She's going to make him fall so deeply that even death won't be able to take him from her. But the closer she gets to breaking his walls... the more she realizes the truth behind all nine of her deaths. It was never fate. Someone has been killing her — on purpose. "I have loved you across nine lives and watched you forget me every time. This is the last time I will be the one to break. In this life, I choose myself — until the moment you choose me too." — A story about love that transcends lives, a woman who refuses to be a sacrifice, and a man slowly remembering a soul he was never meant to forget.

Thousands of impossibly powerful demons exploded from the dark hole, destroying cities and taking millions of lives mercilessly. People wanted a brave knight or mythical hero to appear with powers beyond their imagination and save the world, just like in the stories they used to love. Reality was much crueler. There are no heroes, nor miracles, only despair and the cries of mankind before its destruction. Driven to a corner, leaders of the world unite, forming an alliance with the Demon King. This bargain indeed stalled the demons' attack but at a terrible price: humanity was to send "playthings"-people selected to be sacrificed-into the demon dimension to be tortured and played with or made to engage in horrific games until the last breath. His name is Elric Dawes, an ordinary boy who lived an ordinary life until that night when his best friend betrayed him. He had to witness the slaughtering of his family and was framed for the crime; he turned into a murderer of his own blood. Thus, he was dragged into a grim fate: to be a "plaything" in the realm of demons. It was a dark, twisted world.
