tragedy

Ryu Seong-min has a shadow living inside his veins. It whispers. It watches. And it’s hungry. When students begin vanishing around Wolha High, Seong-min tries to ignore the strange pulses in his blood and the voices that speak through his reflection. But the truth claws closer every day—especially when Cha Yuna, the one person who refuses to abandon him, sees something she shouldn't. A crimson-edged eclipse rises above the school. The shadows stretch. And a masked figure known as the Shade Priest appears, calling Seong-min by a name he has never heard: “Child of Eclipse.” As his body twists into something inhuman and Yuna manifests a mysterious light, Seong-min is dragged into a war between beings of shadow and sun—a war tied to every disappearance around him. He is awakening. She is the Sunwarden. And one of them is destined to destroy the other. Dark powers, cursed bonds, and a destiny written in eclipse—this is the beginning of ECLIPSED VEINS.

Seventeen-year-old high school student Marcus Webb dies in a car accident and wakes up as Vero Sin—a fourteen-year-old boy in a world where magic exists, but at a terrible price. The Mnemosyne Institute is the only academy in the Fractured Cities that teaches true magic. But every spell, every lesson, costs a memory. Students trade their first steps for levitation, their mother's lullabies for healing, their own names for true power. Vero's new family—the Sins—are everything Marcus's family wasn't. Warm, loving, protective. His father is a kind merchant. His mother makes breakfast with care. His older brother Cassian actually wants to spend time with him. But Marcus can't accept it. This isn't his family. These aren't his parents. The love they show feels wrong, borrowed, meant for someone else. The original Vero is gone, and Marcus is wearing his skin like a stolen coat. Trapped between two lives, Marcus must first understand what happened to him, why he's here, and what became of the boy whose body he now inhabits. Only then can he make the choice that will define everything: continue the lie, or disappear entirely. His curiosity about magic will lead him to the Mnemosyne Institute—but first, he must survive the psychological horror of being a stranger in someone else's life.

Ren, a warrior marked by the gods, finds himself caught between mortal kings and vengeful gods. Princess Saphira, heir to the GRIMPACT, bears the blood of the divine—bound to a prophecy that could either save the world or bring about its ruin. As kingdoms burn and prophecies awaken, he must decide whether to bow to the gods that cursed him—or rise against them in defiance. GRIMPACT: A Dance of the Gods is an epic fantasy saga of faith, betrayal, and destiny—where dragons are not myths, and every prayer has a price.

An infected world. With a never-ending invasion. Status screens, unique skills, gods and demons… even monsters capable of ending the world in a single breath. "Hah… what kind of circus do we keep getting thrown into? I am still not sure whether humanity deserves this or if the universe is just bored.." By the time he reached his twelfth life, Iskael had already watched the world end more times than he could count on two hands. He had failed as a hero, as a survivor, and as a lover, thrown back again and again using the tool he desperately monopolized. he stood alone at the cliff’s edge, but he looked nothing like the terrified survivors scattered far behind him. He looked over the Zenith Chasm in silence. Below him, the abyss seethed with monsters in the millions. An evil smile permeated his face, the kind no good soul should ever be able to make staring endlessly at the abyss. It was the kind of smile that would have made his classmates step back on instinct, the kind that did not match any sane person who still claimed to fight for humanity. Wind fought against his clothes blowing against him, and beneath the torn fabric of his shirt, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink, crawling and shifting with unearthly symbols wrapping his torso in all sorts of hidden places . He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts are normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm this young man, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “The one who conquers time…” he murmured, eyes glinting with something far beyond hope or despair. ... "Will conquer the universe.” He stepped forward. Air rushed past him as he let himself fall, his body flipping weightlessly through the tranquil yet furious winds, and as he fell those black tattoos began glowing brighter with each rotation in preparation for something. Then, as monsters roared and the world shook beneath him, he whispered: “Ah.. well I guess I'm still just a half step there if we want to be technical…" But you see, my little karma farms...” His grin widened. “I’m still a regressor.” **BOOOM**

Wanting to save his sickly illegitimate daughter, Clara, he gave Amelia a cursed fate-swapping necklace from Southeast Asia. The moment she put it on, her life spiraled into ruin — misfortune, illness, and finally, death. But Amelia’s soul never left. She witnessed her father bring his mistress and their daughter into her home. She heard them admit everything — the curse, the betrayal, the plan to kill her. She watched her grieving mother burn the house down in revenge. And then… She woke up. Back in her 18-year-old body. On the same morning. With the same necklace. This time, Amelia is ready. She switches the cursed necklace with a replica, places the original on Clara, and begins a quiet war of revenge. But the curse runs deeper than she imagined — someone else is pulling the strings, and her past life’s death was only the beginning. With the help of a powerful spiritual master, a reborn mother who also remembers everything, and her own sharpened instincts, Amelia begins dismantling her father’s entire plan. Piece by piece. Lie by lie. Life by life. When Clara’s fate collapses, when the world discovers the truth of her father’s crimes, and when the mistress falls into despair… Only then will Amelia finally reclaim the destiny that was stolen from her.
