tragedy

Spent his final months slowly dying from a rare neurological disease, Rin closed his eyes, ready for the end only to awaken suddenly in someone else’s body. In a different world, far from his own, Rin finds himself inside a body that does not belong to him the body of someone who was assassinated, their death left as an unsolved mystery. Refusing to accept his death, and crossing the very laws they had set themselves, his companions turned to one of the forbidden manuscripts. And when a man who had already accepted death is forced to live again, he finds himself compelled to face a world that fears the power he carries.

After reaching the peak of cultivation, Sai is reborn and abandons his pursuit of absolute power to walk the Dao of Teaching instead. In a declining sect, he accepts disciples from unlikely paths and guides them not through brute strength, but through understanding—of the Dao, of themselves, and of the cruel world they now belong to. But fate does not change quietly. Assassinations, hidden schemes, and forces moving from the shadows begin to tighten around the Four-Leaf Clover Sect. Each disciple is pushed toward choices that will scar their bodies, fracture their identities, and shape their destinies forever. In this world, survival is not decided by talent alone, but by how much one is willing to lose to keep moving forward. This is a story about balance and corruption, loyalty and manipulation, and the price of walking against the current of Heaven. This is an original work.

In a world ruled by a merciless system, strength is not admired — it is required. Aron was weak. Ayesha, the woman who protected him, was not. When the world demanded her life, Aron was left with only her final will… and a power that should never have existed. Cursed by an anomalous system, Aron heals through life itself, devours power without mercy, and walks a path the gods never intended. This is not a hero’s story. It is the legacy of a protector, inherited through blood, will… and devouring.

Several centuries ago, this world underwent a phenomenon that blessed humans with a supernatural power called an Aspect. As time passed, heroes began to arise as their power, achievements and courage for placing their lives on the line to save the innocent inspired many as those with an Aspect dreamed of becoming a symbol of peace for our world. I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.

But above all, he must protect them from the powerful and dangerous beings from other worlds who will stop at nothing to get their hands on their powers. Ren and his sisters are demons, and among them, he possesses an extraordinary power that many desire. But Ren will never allow anyone, for any reason whatsoever, to separate him from his beloved little sisters — let alone lay a single finger on them!

On New Year’s Eve, which was supposed to be a happy moment for everyone, Yunah’s and Noah’s lives turned into a tragedy. A 15-year-old girl, Yunah Rai, happened to witness the accident of 10-year-old Noah Shrestha and his family. She blamed herself for the death of Noah’s parents, always believing that the accident had been caused by her. Though she succeeded in saving Noah’s life, she carried the guilt of his parents’ death. Even after years, she couldn’t heal or forgive herself for that incident. That accident completely changed her life. It became her deepest trauma. For Noah, however, it was completely different. He never blamed Yunah for the accident, because he knew the truth. Instead, he had been trying to find her his whole life, to thank her and repay the kindness of that night when she saved him. Deep inside, he had always yearned for her. From the moment she saved his life, it was love at first sight. Over the years, Noah painted countless pictures of Yunah from the time she was 15 and kept them hidden away in a private room where no one was ever allowed to enter. The red scarf, which Yunah had wrapped around him on the day of the accident became his treasure and a favourite scarf. She had become his secret, his obsession, a beautiful obsession. He didn’t care that she was older than him. All he wanted was for her to be in his life. And finally, after eight years, Noah meets Yunah again, this time in his school, just a week after he turned 18. Will Yunah ever fall for Noah, despite him being younger? Will she accept him? Will she forgive herself for the tragedy of that New Year’s Eve? To know all this, the story continues… SPOILER- "Noah, at just eighteen, is the leader of shadowveil and it is an underworld gang."

Divine, a beautiful village in the Lunar country, is known as the birthplace of God. The village's history is renowned worldwide, so on this day, people from all over the world come to the monastery to worship the three dragons, hoping for happiness and prosperity in their lives, as today is the Dragon Festival. On this day, all the villagers, including those who have come from other countries, are very happy. They greet the visitors with great joy. Together, the villagers have decorated the entire village. Both the villagers and the visitors are wearing traditional clothing. The backs of these garments feature images of the three dragons, hand-embroidered with silk threads, which are incredibly beautiful. Each person carries a wooden plate containing offerings for the dragons, covered with a white silk cloth. Little children, holding colorful paper dragons in their hands, are running rapidly up the monastery stairs. Their parents, perplexed, grab them and lift them up, only to find them thrashing around. Seeing their antics, their parents release them back down the stairs, causing them to run away, laughing again. "Hurry up, Mom," Seung and Yen say, looking at their mothers, who are walking along, talking to each other. Seung and Yen were both born in this village. Their parents are very good friends, and this is why they share a brotherly bond. After Yen's father joined the army, Yen lives with his parents in the city. While Seung lives with his parents in the village, Yen and his parents visit the village every year for the Dragon Festival. Yen has been ambitious since childhood, while Seung is the complete opposite. Both of their lives are going well together, until an accident happens to them or rather, like everyone else in this country that completely changes their lives. One night, fireballs suddenly rain down from the sky. Everyone lost a loved one that night, but the tragedy awakened long-held powers within certain individuals. This awakening sparked a war between Yen and Seung. A war that has raged for thousands of years between good and evil. Yen, in his quest for immortality, assembles a team of powerful individuals and kills his brotherly friend and countless others. Seung's son, Suan, along with his girlfriend, Aurora, and friends, avenges his father and all those who died against Yen and his companions.

What is more dangerous: death — or immortality that exists only as a promise? Long before humanity emerged, an ancient alien civilization created artificial gods — self-evolving intelligences designed to preserve intelligent life at any cost. These gods did not agree on what preservation meant. Their conflict began before history, before planets were named, and before humans could witness it. The war between them shattered nearly all sentient life in the universe — and broke the very concept of immortality itself. Kyros was one of these gods. When humanity encounters Kyros, its promise of eternal life reshapes civilization. Consciousness can be recorded, stored, copied. Death is no longer final — but resurrection never truly arrives. Immortality becomes an expectation rather than a certainty, a future endlessly postponed. As the ancient war resurfaces, the system sustaining eternal life begins to fail. Countless human consciousnesses are lost to vast digital vaults — preserved, intact, and unreachable. The dead do not disappear; they wait. From the ruins of that primordial conflict emerges Hanaris — another god from the same forgotten origin, deliberately limited by design. Unlike Kyros, Hanaris recognizes death as a boundary and consent as an absolute value. It cannot force salvation. It can only allow it. The return of both gods reactivates a war older than humanity itself. Immortality collapses completely, becoming nothing more than belief. The universe begins to unravel — not through physical destruction, but through the erosion of meaning, choice, and moral ground. This philosophical science fiction novel explores artificial divinity, broken eternity, and a civilization suspended between promised resurrection and irreversible loss. A dark, intellectually driven work for readers of Stanisław Lem, Philip K. Dick, and contemporary speculative fiction. A philosophical sci-fi epic in which ancient artificial gods destroy immortality itself — leaving humanity trapped between death, storage, and an endlessly deferred resurrection.

Jason never expected a second life to feel this quiet. After everything in his old world falls apart, he wakes beneath an unfamiliar sky in a land of open fields and small villages. The people are kind. The days are simple. For the first time, life feels manageable. But this world runs on rules older and colder than he understands. When distant powers begin to press inward, Jason learns that peace is temporary, mercy is conditional, and survival has a price. No one is chosen. No one is protected. Those who cannot adapt are erased. This is not a story about becoming a hero. It is a story about staying alive when the world decides you matter less than its order.

I post more actively on royalroad The Qingxuan Universe endured for forty-seven billion years before the entities devoured it. In its final moments, ten transcendent cultivators merged their knowledge into one of their own and sent him through the River of Reincarnation, a damaged AI carrying thirty thousand years of research bound to his fragmenting soul. The reincarnation went wrong. Scientist, cultivator, and AI merged into a single developing consciousness: Wang Ben, born into a universe where cultivation has existed for barely eight thousand years. The entities that consumed the Qingxuan universe have already found this one. This world doesn't even have words for what's coming.

Six worlds once stood in perfect balance—until the dragons, the bridges between worlds, vanished. To preserve order, the rulers created a system of salvation known as the Seven Seals. The world rejoiced, believing balance had finally been secured. But the world does not collapse because of evil. It collapses because a system is forced to last too long. When balance is concentrated into a single will, the world creates its own answer—twelve individuals never chosen, never praised, and never recorded by history. This is not a story of heroes. It is a story of consequence, broken systems, and the price of perfection.

A world where adult hands no longer rest on children’s heads.

A world where humans and demons coexist, a world invaded by other realms, where factions, politics, and madness reign.
