tragedy

Some people perform joy so completely that nobody notices they’re drowning until the water is already over their head—and Riyura Shiko has turned that performance into an art form. Fifteen years old, purple-haired, red bow-tied, and explosively cheerful in the specific way of someone who learned early that being cheerful was safer than being honest, Riyura arrives at Jeremy High not as a normal transfer student—but as a walking thunderclap in a school uniform. Officially, he’s there for a “fresh start” after an incident involving pudding, a ferret, and one tragically heroic trampoline. Unofficially, he’s there because wherever Riyura goes, normality quietly packs its bags and leaves. Jeremy High is no ordinary school. Founded in 1876 under impossible circumstances—three suicidal teenagers, letters from a descendant who wouldn’t exist for a century, and a foundation built as much on suffering as it is on survival—it attracts the broken, the chaotic, and the unexplainable. Riyura fits in immediately… and completely disrupts everything anyway. From shouting greetings at trees to challenging athletes to dribble pineapples, from staging lunchtime operas about dumplings to turning every hallway into a stage, he floods the school with a kind of absurd, relentless energy that feels almost supernatural on its own. But beneath the chaos is something quieter. Something fragile. Because Riyura isn’t just trying to be seen—he’s trying not to disappear. Over the next four years, what unfolds is everything. Not just the ridiculous, high-energy nonsense of flying fruit and social disasters, but corruption networks, government conspiracies, psychic abilities tied to Edo-period bloodlines, time manipulation, preserved souls, and a brother who dies… and comes back? Government agents become allies. Truths unravel. The very sanctuary that saved them reveals the cost of its existence. And still—beneath all of that—the people matter most. Yakamira, sharp and analytical, alive against all odds. Miyaka, opening her pencil case every morning as an act of quiet defiance. Subarashī, scars catching the light as he declares himself to the world. Jisatsu, holding steady, fourteen months without a crisis. Pan, baking at 4 AM not because he has to—but because he chooses to. None of them are whole. All of them are trying. And together, they form something stubborn and unbreakable: a family built not from perfection, but from the refusal to let each other drown alone. Then comes graduation. Osaka. Cherry University. Cherry blossom seasons that feel too soft for everything they’ve survived. And the slow, difficult realization that surviving and living are entirely different skills. And many more characters in the main stage at that as per-usual. Riyura Shiko isn’t just the loudest person in the room. He’s the one most afraid of silence. His absurdity isn’t there to make you laugh—it’s there to overwhelm you, to push past the limits of what “normal” even means, to prove that being alive isn’t about fitting in, but about refusing to disappear. The humor isn’t clean, or even traditionally funny—it’s chaotic, excessive, and sometimes deliberately irritating. Because this story doesn’t aim to be funny. It aims to feel. Loudly. Uncomfortably. Honestly. This is the complete story of Riyura Shiko. From a teenager hiding behind a crooked bow tie and a perfectly rehearsed smile… to someone who slowly, painfully learns what genuine laughter actually feels like. From impossible walls to open skies. It costs something. It leaves something behind. Neither cancels the other out. THE NAMES… RIYURA SHIKO! - RATED MA26+. Still here. That’s always been enough. Because this series has the worst humor you could ever wish for. >;)

Mysterious and curious swords scattered across the earth, waiting for their world-renowned Sword Masters. Who can comprehend the miraculous skill that has been passed down from millennia? The city of Chang'an hides those who carry the power of fire and sun, the central plains house giant decaying millennial families, the wild warriors of the Northern Territory silently sharpen their blades, the dance of deceit and cunning occurs among the southern kingdoms... Above the lofty tranquility, a pair of world-dominating gray eyes are slowly opening. Pei Ye raises his head, pulling the Longsword from his stomach: "Immortal Lord of the True Dragon Taiyi... let's see, who is whose prey."

I am the same guy (Venerable Mountt Tai) trying to publish this on Royal Road. A normal Warhammer 40k fan while listening to some majorkill videos talking about the emperor and his sons. Thought to himself, "Wow the Emperor was a dick, I bet I can do better." Yet he never imagined a certain dick would take it personally and drag him into the 40k verse to stand by those words. Note: I'm completely new to writing so my format will be weird until I get used to writing. I'm writing this because I'm a huge WH:40k fan and I've always wanted to write something myself. I've been learning lore in my off time but there's still a lot I don't know. So don't expect any diamonds here, just inconsistencies.

The apocalypse didn't come from divine wrath, a strange system or our world getting tangled in the webs of fate.  It ended with a question. [Have you ever had a dream?]  A question whispered to everyone's ears from nowhere. One that spoke of all the treasures of the world and one that promised to bring life to every idea passing through one's mind. A whispering voice beckoning for compliance to a single request: make a wish. If you want something, just wish for it and it'll come true. But remember, you only have one wish, and you have to pay it's price. Scrambling to find a proper way of life at the end of a world misshapen by humanity's desires and dreams, Elyas finally gives in to the urge. He makes a wish. He makes a wish in the hopes to maybe better his and his family's life. A wish to gain power, to improve his standing in this dying world. A wish, that would change his life forever.

For longer than he can remember, Ifrit has wandered through countless timelines, shattered realities, and impossible universes. He has witnessed the rise and fall of gods. He has watched civilizations burn, be reborn, and vanish without a trace. He has buried friends whose names even history forgot. He has seen lovers swear eternal devotion, only to become passing memories in the endless flow of existence. At some point, he stopped counting his age. At some point, he stopped searching for answers. Yet one question continues to follow him across every reality: What am I? In a multiverse governed by timelines, concepts, divine laws, and the mysterious World Clock, there exists a forbidden truth hidden from gods and mortals alike. A truth so terrifying that entire pantheons erased themselves rather than remember it. The truth of The Nameless One. When ancient seals begin to break and forgotten timelines awaken, Ifrit finds himself at the center of a cosmic conflict older than existence itself. Gods fear him. Concepts reject him. Reality struggles to define him. Because Ifrit is the only being who exists across all realities without another version of himself. As the boundaries between universes collapse and the First War threatens to begin anew, Ifrit must uncover the secret buried within his own existence. But the closer he gets to the answer, the more horrifying the truth becomes. For Ifrit is not searching for the Nameless One. The Nameless One may be searching for him. And if he ever remembers the forgotten truth hidden beyond gods, beyond time, and beyond existence itself... Reality may be forced to decide what it truly is for the very first time. "I have crossed infinite worlds, buried countless memories, and outlived civilizations beyond number." "But after all this time..." "I still don't know what I am."

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future.

SOLD TO THE DEMON PRINCE My mother has sold three of my sisters to the flesh markets. I am next. I am Aurelia. My only worth is written in my face: my eyes—purple so rare that men kill for less. Let the auctioneer come. Let some lord or monster think he owns me. The moment his hands touch my skin, I will slice his throat and make a pudding of his blood. But I cannot run. Not yet. My youngest sister, Flavia, remains—an eleven-year-old genius trapped in this brothel my mother calls a home. My rage must be a shield, not just a sword. Five years ago, the dark creatures came. They poured from the northern wastes like a plague given form. They slaughtered my father. They burned our villa to ash. They took everything. Now I live in the Lupanar, Rome's most infamous brothel. My mother rules it with gold and cruelty. My sisters were sold one by one. And at dawn, the slaver comes for me. I have one chance. Flavia has been planning our escape for three months. She knows which guards sleep at which hour. She knows where Mother hides her coin. And she has found a man who owes me a debt—a soldier named Titus, who waits for us at the Porta Capena with horses and a promise. But Titus is not what he seems. My mother does not lose what she owns. And the dark creatures who killed my father are not the only monsters in this world. There is a prince. They say his gaze turns flesh to stone. They say he collects purple-eyed girls like coins. They say he has never looked upon a woman who did not die or turn to art. He has been searching for fifteen years. He has found two who survived. I will be the third. And I will ruin him...

In a world where everything is decided by Martial Souls and Spiritual Power, a boy was born without either. Such beings appear once every five hundred years — they are called the Empty Ones. Powerless, fated to do nothing more than drag out a meaningless existence. But the void was filled. His Martial Soul is the Sword of the Three Luminaries, forged from the power of the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. His bloodline is that of the Divine Phoenix, granting strength capable of turning the impossible into reality. The Dragon God Cultivation Method rests in his hands, as draconic power floods his body. Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines intertwine within him, giving birth to a force without equal. Yet the price is steep. Before the age of twenty, he must ascend and become a God — or death will be his only fate. Grasp the Sun and Moon with one hand, and the Sea of Stars with the other. Time and space bend to your will. Soar beyond the heavens and establish your own Divine Kingdom. Prepare yourselves… for the coming of the God of the Phoenix.

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.
