tragedy

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, a face no normal soul could ever be able to make staring endlessly at an abyss. It was the kind of smile that would have made his classmates step back on instinct, a smile that did not match any sane person who still claimed to fight for humanity. Wind pressed against his clothes, dragging the torn fabric slightly over his frame. And beneath it, black linen tattoos shimmered like living veins of ink. The unearthly symbols crawled and shifted across his torso, disappearing into the hidden folds creased into his figure. He stood above the ever hollowing Zenith Chasm, as the sole vanguard for the beginning of the raid. Having fearful last minute thoughts would be normal, for anyone staring at such an abomination of numbers. Yet you see only one mantra stayed firm to this young man, Iskael's heart. A coping mantra more dear than anything. “Whether you step back, or decide to step forward. to understand is to move, to step through and feel your hurt again, ultimately until the loop bends to you. Then time will also be nothing but your lesson, and your tool to carve the little life you were denied from having.” This time he chose to step 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: “It is such a melodramatic thing to say.." But you see, my little karma farms...” His feral grin widened. “I’m a regressor.” **BOOOM**

In the cultivation world, spiritual roots determine destiny. Wei Jin’s three-colored, low-grade roots offer a mere fifty percent chance of ever reaching Foundation Establishment—odds that would crush most aspiring cultivators before they begin. But Jin’s family has already sacrificed everything for this chance. At six years old, Wei Jin arrives at the Dark Rose Sect with nothing but patched robes, a bundle of turnips for tribute, and the weight of his entire family’s hopes pressing down on his small shoulders. His father sold the farm. His brother worked three years in the copper mines. His mother’s tears still stain the letter tucked against his heart. Assigned to the agricultural division—the lowest rung of sect hierarchy—Jin is given one hectare of neglected spirit rice and a cultivation technique that should take him decades to master. He is clumsy, naive, and utterly unprepared for the cutthroat world of cultivation politics. But Jin possesses something that no one else can see: a mysterious ability that shows him exactly how to optimize his cultivation, pushing his efficiency far beyond what his spiritual roots should allow. As seasons turn to years, Jin transforms from a stumbling child into a formidable cultivator. He learns that power comes in many forms—from the old farmer whose pranks hide genuine wisdom, from the gossip-loving girl who becomes his closest ally, from the silent giants who teach him that realm isn’t everything. He survives corrupt overseers, navigates deadly sect politics, and discovers that sometimes the most effective weapon is patience. When tragedy strikes his distant family, Jin must leave the safety of the sect to confront enemies who threaten everything he loves. The quiet farmer who preferred to work in shadows must become something more—a protector, an avenger, a cultivator willing to do whatever it takes to shield those who depend on him. But as Jin approaches the peak of Qi Gathering, he realizes that his greatest challenges still lie ahead. Foundation Establishment beckons—a transformation that will change everything he understands about cultivation. And in the world of immortals, those who rise too quickly often find themselves targets of those who rose before them. The Burdened Heart is the first book in an epic cultivation series following one young man’s journey from forgotten outer disciple to legendary cultivator. It is a story about family sacrifice, quiet determination, and the discovery that true strength often grows in the most unexpected soil

In an alternate 1888 Japan where the Continental War has ended, fifteen-year-old Buki Kirā emerges from three years of isolation—a child soldier who has forgotten what it means to be human. Systematically broken since age five, Buki exists as a weapon in human form. He calculates distances with tactical precision but cannot measure grief. He delivers death notifications with clinical efficiency, handing families their shattered worlds as if distributing routine correspondence. Social worker Clara Hoku releases him carrying a devastating secret: General Hazami Kokoro—the only person who tried to teach him humanity—died three years ago saving his life. Her final order echoes in his fractured memory: "I order you to live. Not survive—live." Working as a postal carrier for the Imperial War Correspondence Office, Buki delivers delayed letters from fallen soldiers—final words, death notifications, personal effects of the dead. Every delivery forces him to witness raw grief while feeling nothing himself. When a child asks if the letter means Papa is coming home, when a mother collapses reading her son's last words, when a widow thanks him through tears for bringing her husband's final thoughts home—he observes, records, but cannot comprehend. Fellow postal worker Yuki Amane recognizes what others miss: he's not cruel, he's broken. She teaches him that letters aren't just paper—they're the last fragments of people's souls. That delivering them with compassion matters, even if you don't understand why. Then General Hazami's own letter arrives—one year late, written the night before her death—and everything Buki has buried begins surfacing. Memories of two lives, two deaths: the systematic abuse that taught him emotions meant pain, his years as a child soldier creating the casualties whose letters he now carries, and impossibly, memories of dying before in 2027 Tokyo—murdered by his mother after witnessing his family's slaughter. A sixteen-episode psychological journey through trauma, grief, and the agonizing process of remembering how to feel when feeling itself became your enemy. RATED MA18+
