tragedy

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.

My name is Jason Clark. I never expected great things from this life. I grew up without my mother, leaving just me and my father. I always studied in good schools, got into a university, and even managed to land a job at a decent company. You could say I had a good life, right? To be completely honest, the only thing keeping me going was my father and the rare moments when I truly felt alive, when I was practicing boxing. After my father’s death, it felt like my fate was to end my life in that world, or so I thought. I was certain I hadn’t gone to either heaven or hell when I realized it. I had awakened in another body, in a new world. And so my new life would begin, in a world completely different from the one I lived in, not as Jason Clark... But now, as Kiron Rhasui.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Now, my name is Uchiha Xuan. I’ve been adopted by my uncle, and I have an older cousin who walks around every day with a "Protagonist" look on his face; his name is Uchiha Madara. I also have a younger cousin who looks like he wants to kill me every single day, though he’d never dare say it out loud because he can't beat me in a fight; his name is Uchiha Izuna. To make matters worse, I'm stuck with a completely screwed-up System called the "Behind-the-Scenes Boss System." Every day, it tries to incite me to go out and conquer the world, and it’s constantly threatening me with "Obliteration" if I don't comply. Honestly, all that fighting and killing is so uncivilized. I just want to quietly be a Mastermind from the shadows... and maybe build myself a massive harem along the way.

Psychopathic in nature, she doesn't understand love the way others do-but when she meets a kind-hearted college boy, she feels something unfamiliar and decides to change. She shadows him, protects him from the shadows, and fakes being a regular student. What she doesn't know is that the boy is secretly the long-lost son of a dying crime lord. Though he's innocent on the surface, he's unknowingly the heir to a throne others are killing to claim. Assassins begin hunting him, and she does everything she can to protect him without revealing her past. But there's another secret: the boy is secretly a masked vigilante fighting crime at night, trying to end the kind of violence that shaped her. Neither of them realizes just how tangled their lives are, or how similar they really are beneath the lies.

In a world where God has been harvested, only the Friction remains. ​The sky over Acheron has been closed for a century. Under a lid of pressurized charcoal and the relentless sting of the Black Rain, humanity has been demoted from a species to a resource. The Watcher Spires pierce the smog, humming with the Great Hum—a frequency designed to grind the human soul into a harvestable data-point of despair. ​In the mud-slicked gutters of the Sinks, life is a transaction of agony. For sisters Kiri and Rin, survival means clinging to a fading bond while the Breakers—monstrous hybrids of iron and hollowed flesh—stalk the squares for the next "Live Harvest." There is no mercy in the shadow of the Spires, only the clinical sorting of the meat. ​But the machine has a flaw.
