tragedy

Every ten years, the vampires descend into the smog-choked Underworld to claim their Tithe — one human from every household, bound by an ancient blood pact that buys another decade of fragile peace. In the Middle and Upper Districts, the Selection is an honour. In the Lower District, it is a gamble. Because for the desperate, it is the only way out. A chance to trade a life for enough gold to save those left behind. Luenna never wanted anything to do with the Spire Lords of the Upperworld. But with debt closing in and survival slipping through her fingers, she makes the unthinkable choice by offering herself. She expects servitude. Obedience. To disappear. What she does not expect was him. A predator who finds the treaty tedious and the ceremony beneath him. A creature of marble-cold beauty, with a tongue sharper than his fangs. He should have no interest in a voluntary offering from the Lower District. And yet, with a careless smirk that promises ruin, he breaks protocol to claim her. "Rules are for those who lack the power to break them. And you, Lune… you look like you'd make a very entertaining mess." Dragged into the dazzling, vicious world above, Luenna is bound to a master who defies every horror story she has ever known. He is arrogant, merciless, and infuriatingly charming. He mocks her sacrifice, tests her defiance, and treats her like something dangerously precious. Yet he would unmake the world before letting another soul touch her. She should fear him. She does. But when she finally reaches for a blade to end him, he kisses her with the soul-crushing weight of a thousand years of obsession. "Go on," he murmurs against her lips. "Fight me. Run. Hate me until it devours you." His voice softens then, just enough to ruin her. "In the end… you still chose this world. And I am what it gives you." --×-- >> Tags: [tragedy • vampire • fated love • sweet • narcissist • romance • possessive • comedy • fantasy] >> Word count per chapter: 1.5k ~ 1.9k

The final outcome of this world? All will submit to the Navy's iron fire—no exceptions. (Everyone becomes obedient...) P.S. The ending involves a full purge by the Navy—if you’re a fan of saints, idealists, or the Straw Hats, consider this your warning. Because later on, the plot becomes heavily logic-based.

He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

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.

Remesis, the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke, never knew her family's love. At eight years old, she was cast out to the North like a useless thing and forced to become the wife of a woman the entire empire feared — the deposed crown princess, the Mad Mistress of the North. But Remesis did not break. She decided to turn her cage into a weapon. She struck a deal with the one everyone called obsessed: "You will help me destroy my family. I will help you reclaim your throne. And afterward, we will divorce. No strings attached. No feelings." A simple plan. Cruel. Perfect. But Remesis forgot one important detail. Her wife was not merely mad. She was far more dangerous. "Am I to understand that you intend to cast me aside after using me?" At some point, revenge ceased to be her only goal. And now Remesis must come to understand: what if the most dangerous game of all is playing with her own heart?

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

When you see truth as a lie, and when you see a lie as truth, and when you say, "I am good and I am evil," you see yourself as merely a liar, though you may be truthful. You wander in a world where you don't grasp your true nature, where you don't know what you are or what you will become. You realize that you are who you will be, not because you will be, but because you will be. And you say, "I am not me," but because you are me.

He thought the strange presence in his life had disappeared, until it came back. Closer. Clearer. And far too familiar to be called a stranger. The man who appears before him feels the same… yet not the same. As fragments of memory and past begin to surface, he is forced to question everything. Was it really the same person he had been searching for all these years… or someone else entirely? Because even if memories fade— some connections never do. And this one… refuses to let him go.

*Prologue* As sunset painted the horizon, the family of four embarked on their journey, excitement radiating from the car. Twin sisters Emma and Emily chattered in the backseat, their contrasting personalities shining through. Emma, the introverted twin, was selective with her words, only opening up around family, while Emily bubbled with enthusiasm. Jack turned to engage the girls, oblivious to the speeding car ahead.

When dust settled, Jack and Sarah lay motionless, their lives slipping away. Emily, dazed and terrified, frantically searched for Emma, but she vanished.

The young, fair petite woman walked with a bag slung over her shoulder, her heels clicking sharply against the glass pathway as she entered the garden of the Crystal Hall. Her eyes scanned the meticulously maintained scenery in awe, pausing on a very unusual sight in the corner—black roses, a stark contrast to the bright surroundings. "Strange, right?" came a voice, causing her to turn. Standing there was a man with lush brown hair and rich red eyes—a pureblood. Not at all shocked to find herself in his presence within the Crystal Hall, she replied politely, "Not entirely. They enhance the beauty, making one's eyes get stuck on them." The pureblood looked at the lady with amusement, her amethyst eyes drawing his attention completely unbidden. "That reminds me of someone," the vampire murmured, clicking his tongue. "He admires them so much that he has an entire garden of them." She looked at the vampire, wondering who could possibly want a garden filled only with roses—and black ones, at that. Before either of them could speak further, a guard called out to her. "Miss, you have been summoned." Offering a polite bow to the vampire, she turned and walked away. The man watched the retreating figure of the human, a sigh escaping his lips as he muttered to the empty air, "I wonder what will happen when he finds her."
