tragedy

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. Memories. Not from another life, but from many. Futures that never happened. Timelines that fractured. Pain that felt too real to be fiction. 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.

But it's a training ground for child operatives. Raised in secrecy to kill, protect, and survive, its wards are sought out by those who fear gods and monsters. To the world, it's salvation and exploitation. To the children, it's home. And every night, as the rifts whisper, they wait for their next mission.

War defines existence in the Great Tree village of Zune. Casualties are common, as battles occur almost daily against the rival village of Fon. The presence of monsters throughout the land leaves little room for civilization. The conflict between these two villages has persisted for centuries. Every boy is raised for the purpose of warfare. At the age of eight, each is taken from their Nurturer, remains unnamed, and undergoes training until the age of thirteen. Upon completion, they participate in the “The Naming” Ceremony, during which they receive names and titles as they are formally inducted into the army. The title of Hunter is given to the most loyal and talented men in the village. They work in small groups, spending most of the time outside of the village and camps. They specialize in recon, tracking, trapping, and killing monsters. At least that’s what The Officials will say. This world called Noon has so much to offer if it weren’t for the other village. War propaganda is spread across the village. Everyone must do their part to keep their way of life safe. But is this the right way? Classism, sexism, deceit, and corruption are all justified by The Officials as necessary for the village’s survival.

___Lost notes___ In the former Principality of Concord, UltraMan is a living legend... the world’s strongest hero, invincible and untouchable. For a decade, he’s crushed mafias, dismantled conspiracies, and stomped alien invasions underfoot. An unstoppable force with skin that no weapon can pierce and strength that outshines ancient myths. Everyone fears him. Everyone reveres him. But no one knows why a god like him, a man who could rule this world... why would he choose to protect it instead? That’s not the question I’m asking. Because UltraMan is gone. Vanished without trace. And I’m the one who made it happen. I don’t say this lightly. The world depends on him, but the world is broken in ways power alone can’t fix. There are some things you simply can't punch away. I’m just trying to survive. If the balance falls apart, what remains? The streets, the lies, the shadows? How do you live when there’s no 'UltraMan' to save the world? And what happens if you are the one who took him away? _____ Due to the many locations to keep track of, I placed a map in the comments of chapter one and 35. Hope you like the novel!

One Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation The so-called "Twin Electro Archons" are nothing more than a tired tale spun by a dying Shogun. The so-called "Free-Spirited Bard" is merely the wind taking the form of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place. The so-called "Immortal Zombie Qiqi" is simply an old man's desperate plea on the verge of death—one that a god happened to hear. Li Mo had been reincarnated a hundred times into the world of Genshin Impact. One more lifetime—one final mission—and he would be granted ten wishes. In his hundredth life, he became a storyteller in Liyue. "On that day, the Thunder Demon split his own heart in two, saving his dying sisters." "On that day, the wind took the shape of a boy, seeing the world beyond the tower in his place." "On that day, an old man, facing the dying herb-gathering girl, forcibly wielded the power of his own wish, granting Qiqi a glimmer of hope." The emotion ran deep, and the entire audience erupted in applause. The Raiden Shogun, Shenhe, Qiqi… even the Tsaritsa herself was moved to tears. Hu Tao's eyes glistened as she asked, "Storyteller… is that boy really dead?" --- Raw: 原神：璃月港说书，胡桃泪目 Author: 万字更新

"Lost in Flames, Found in Dark" Some love stories don’t begin with hello. They begin after the end. She was once the light in someone’s storm — wild, warm, unforgettable. Then, in a single moment, Shruti vanished. No note. No clues. Only a silence that shattered the hearts left behind. He searched for her like a man possessed. Burned down every lie, bled for every truth — until all that remained was rage... and a love too deep to bury. Years passed. And somewhere far from the wreckage of the life she once knew, a girl opened her eyes in a hospital bed. Her name was different. Her reflection — unfamiliar. But the ache in her soul? The flashes of another life? All too real. A scar she doesn’t remember getting. A voice she still hears in her dreams. And eyes — cold, broken, beautiful — that feel like home. He doesn't know her. Not anymore. But something in him stirs when she’s near. A storm. A memory. A promise not yet fulfilled. As their worlds collide once more, past and present bleed into one. The girl who shouldn't exist remembers a life no one believes. And the boy who lost everything now stands at the edge of rediscovery… and ruin. This isn’t just a second chance. It’s fate demanding what death tried to steal. Love. Longing. Pain. Fire. And a mystery that binds their souls beyond lifetimes. Because some hearts never stop searching. Some memories refuse to fade. And some love stories are written in scars. --- SNEAK PEEK The night air was sharper than she'd expected, and the thin fabric of her top did nothing to help—but she’d already refused his jacket with full drama ten minutes ago. Pride came before comfort, apparently. From the couch behind her, Dhruv watched in silence. Head slightly tilted, fingers resting near his lips. He didn’t comment. Yet. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” she muttered. “A little,” he admitted. She rolled her eyes, still facing the balcony. “This is where a gentleman offers warmth. Maybe a hot drink. Or, you know... human decency.” “You rejected the jacket and the blanket. Can’t save you from yourself.” She opened her mouth to sass back, “Unbelievable.” Before she could finish being annoyed, she felt him. He was behind her—close. His body heat rolled into her back like a slow, deliberate wave. She gasped softly, more out of surprise than cold. His hands slid into hers with quiet certainty, wrapping them up gently. Then, his arms circled around her waist, pulling her lightly against him. Her breath caught as his chest pressed warmly against her back, the thin fabric of her top doing nothing to shield her from the way his warmth spread over her skin. “Dhruv!” she gasped, her voice half protest, half flustered mess. Her words scrambled as he leaned a little closer, breath grazing the side of her neck. “Better?” he asked, low and completely unaffected.
