tragedy

Jin Yeong lived an ordinary life. He worked an ordinary job, went home to an ordinary apartment, and was the kind of man nobody ever remembered. That all changed the day the sky cracked open over Seoul. A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity's weakness. Monsters flooded the streets, cities fell in a single night, and every survivor was given a skill to fight back. Some awakened the power to control fire, lightning, or the earth itself. Jin awakened Limitless Weapon Mastery, a skill that let him use any weapon at its full potential and nothing more. Without magic or special powers, he seemed to have drawn the weakest hand of all. But in a world where survival meant fighting with whatever was within reach, Jin soon discovered that his skill held far more than anyone expected. With nothing but his skill and the will to protect the people beside him, Jin began his journey through a broken world, where anything he holds can kill.

Horror stories written by Joseph Kohtz The Spooky Halloween Sleepover in The Haunted Woods: After a few of their friends go missing, a group of kids investigates The Dead Woods to find them. While there, they run into monsters and ghosts that pick them off. Since their friends are disappearing, they decide to have a sleepover in the haunted woods until they find them, but they soon all go missing after the hauntings intensify. Fear Itself: After hearing a ghost story around the campfire, a group of kids at the camp becomes terrified as ghosts and monsters haunt the camp and the surrounding forest. They're afraid, but some initially think it's just a prank by one of the counselors, even as campers and counselors get picked off one by one. Even though things look bad, some campers still think it's a fraud, at least until things get worse. The longer they stay and ignore the ghosts' warnings, the worse the hauntings become. Then they become convinced and start to lose their wits. The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: On Halloween, a group of kids decides to venture inside an old, abandoned mansion to see if it's haunted, only to be scared out of their wits by all sorts of monsters and ghosts. While inside, the kids meet a talking cat and a jack-o-lantern who try to protect them from the spirits and convince one of them to read a spell from a book to banish the ghosts. Return to The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: On a field trip, Susan Piper takes her class to The Wellington Mansion and tells how it was haunted before she banished the ghosts a decade ago on Halloween, with the help of her friends. She also told her class how to re-haunt the house and warned them not to do so. The next day, on Halloween, six of Susan's students enter the mansion, bring the ghosts and monsters back, and get scared out of their wits. Jack, the jack-o-lantern who knew their teacher, protects them with help from Alvin, the ghost puppy, and tries to convince Victoria to read the same spell Susan read when she was in the mansion to get rid of the ghosts.

A nameless boy, now called Tsuki, finds refuge in a noble estate. Yet, beneath the surface of this newfound peace, the shadows of the gutter and the cold gaze of authority linger.

What would you feel if the last remaining happiness in your life—your sweet, clingy dear sister—was murdered right before your eyes by a few worthless scum? By some bastards who shouldn't even exist in this world? I felt rage. Hatred. At them But more than that… I hated myself. Truly. Why? Because I couldn’t move. Paralyzed from the neck down, I could only watch as she died, as her blood spurted on me. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t fight. I couldn’t even crawl to her, while her eyes were turning dull. Ah~ now they turned to me. Guess they are going to kill me too. But I don't want to die, at least not when they are alive. I've learned something in this time. In this apocalypse... weakness is a sin. The greatest sin. Here, no rights protect you. Not like they protected us before the apocalypse. No one comes to help you. Friends, neighbours, relatives. NONE. Strength. Personal strength is the only authority that truly matters in this new world. And, If you think this is where my story ends—you’re wrong. Because, [Regression possible: Yes/No?] Guess this is my cheat. I will return. Stronger than before. And I will DEVOUR everything that stands in my way. So then… sayonara, readers.

We all know the story, the hero fights evil to save the princess and the kingdom, but what if the hero decided to do things differently? what if he turns into an anti-hero? Graphic artist, don't offer me anything, i am poor.

*THIS NOVEL WILL ALWAYS BE FREE* (Let's be honest, ts ain't worth paying for) XD Thank ya!!! _______ Once, a body alone ruled the Three Realms. No techniques. No divine arts. Only the absolute peak of Body Cultivation. They called it the Supreme Immortal Body. Then it vanished without warning, leaving the heavens confused, the worlds unsettled, and countless experts arguing over whether it had ever truly existed. It should have remained a forgotten legend. Unfortunately, it did not.

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. And... humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air... as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power... No future... Tyler was born into that world... a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon... Not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend to become the strongest demon. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/nQEBsk3ZGX *** #Yandere_MC #Complex_Characters #No_Harem #Dark #Rare_Bloodline #Magic #Slowburn #Fated_Love #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #Runic_Sorcery #Evil_FL

The Brave Girl At just six years old, Alexa's life takes a terrifying turn when she is kidnapped on her way home from school. She wakes up on an airplane, surrounded by strangers, with her captors threatening to drop her from the sky. She soon realizes that she is not alone—other kidnapped girls of various ages share her fate. They are taken to a mysterious island, completely isolated by the ocean, where escape is impossible. The girls are forced into an institution that resembles an orphanage but is far from a safe haven. There, they are subjected to brutal training, rigorous studies, and cruel experiments that push their minds and bodies to the limit. Stripped of their past identities, they are given new names, all beginning with the letter "A." Alexa clings to the only connection to her real self—a hidden note with her true name, buried deep within the institution’s grounds. In this merciless environment, Alexa finds solace in Alexandra, a frail yet brilliant girl who becomes her closest friend—her sister by choice. To protect Alexandra, Alexa pushes herself to become one of the strongest among the girls, enduring every hardship and mastering every skill thrown at her, from combat to strategy, music to deception. The institution molds them into highly trained individuals, but their purpose remains a mystery. As Alexa grows older, she learns that girls who reach the age of sixteen are sent on dangerous missions. What awaits her beyond the institution’s walls? And will she ever reclaim the life that was stolen from her? *The Brave Girl* is a gripping tale of survival, sisterhood, and the unbreakable will of a girl who refuses to be broken.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

In a world where gravity is not just a force but a soul, sixteen-year-old Caelus "Cael" Vane lives in the shadow of the Gravity Fall—a catastrophic event ten years prior that saw a third of the world's population suddenly collapse into themselves, crushed by their own awakened Cores. The survivors live under the rigid rule of the Orbital Authority (OA) , a governing body that registers and restrains all "Orbiters" for the supposed safety of mankind. Cael is a "Dwarf"—someone whose Core was damaged in the Fall, limiting him to a mere 4 Orbits. In a society where status is measured by your orbital count, he is nothing. A janitor. He mops the floors of the OA's central tower, cleaning up after the elite "Planetary" Orbiters who look through him like empty space. But Cael harbors a secret. He can see the 13th Orbit. While others perceive only 12 visible orbits around a person, Cael glimpses a flickering shadow—a void that follows every Orbiter like a hungry moon. The OA has hunted and silenced anyone who has ever mentioned it, branding it a "psychotic break" caused by Core damage. On the night of his 17th birthday (February 13th) , Cael's dormant Core violently re-ignites. He doesn't just awaken; he shatters. In a blast of reversed gravity, he accidentally kills a squad of OA enforcers by pulling the very air from their lungs. When he wakes, he finds he is no longer a Dwarf. His Core has healed, but wrong. He now commands 13 Orbits.

A soul from the twenty-first century awakens in the body of Ivan Thornheart, an illegitimate noble left for dead in a world of knights and magic.

Magic rules this world—but Ivan has inherited the remnants of a fallen technological civilization.

In a universe where planes collide and civilizations rise and fall, only those who master both sorcery and technology will dominate.

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality tremble from a boundless might, And the earth quaked across the starless night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound reality in grief's most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet the star never found the words to seek amends, The answer on the tip of its tongue which it couldn't transcend. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its boundless soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the broken world. Wherefore to him whose destiny it had reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new, endearing light. Until at last the end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from then on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

In a world where life was not just sustained by the rhythmic pulse of an organ. Where way more was asked for to remain. A kingdom was grieving the loss of a princess, as 2 siblings were grieving the loss of a sister. One was conscious but banned from attending her funerals while the other one was unaware and busy fighting the same ending. Two siblings fighting the same system that put their family, their people and their positions of monarchs at risks. One rejected the system entirely, while the other was slowly consumed by her faith in the power it held. Both were surrounded by allies who believed in their cause, yet remained exiled far from the homeland they once called theirs
