tragedy

I'm Not the Villain You Imagine. ✩⢄⢁✧ SYNOPSIS ✧⡈⡠✩ They say Darion deserves to die. They say the world will be better without him. But does killing a monster... make you a hero? When royal blood spills into the mud, when grand robes turn into tattered rags, and when that final smile remains full of contempt—this story isn’t about justice. This is a tale of vengeance, hypocrisy, and a truth that doesn’t always shine brightly. And Darion? He died without begging for mercy. Because even in death... he remained the antagonist, never the protagonist. So... what should I do with a villain who will be hated by this entire world... now that, that villain is me?

The world is entering an age of machines, industry, and order—but something older still decides what is allowed to exist. A young private detective, known for solving impossible cases, begins to dream of places that do not end. When people vanish without cause and rooms behave incorrectly, he discovers that these are not accidents, but corrections. As he follows these disturbances, he uncovers fragments of a buried history—sealed concepts, erased eras, and a system designed not to rule, but to stabilize. Each mystery brings him closer to a dangerous understanding: The world is not held together by truth. It is held together by what has been removed. And noticing that makes him next.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

The pruner would watch again. And sooner than I wanted to admit, someone would ask the question that breaks worlds: What do you save when you can’t save everything?

The world believes it is alone. It is not. Beneath modern society exists a hidden war—fought in silence against dimensional rifts, foreign entities, and worlds that were never meant to intersect with human reality. Kaien Arclune was never meant to see it. Living an ordinary life in Japan, Kaien loses everything in a single night when forces tied to forbidden bloodlines and unseen laws erase his family. Cornered and broken, he awakens a power that does not simply destroy enemies—it ends outcomes, collapses space, and renders choices irreversible. Recruited by Galactors, a covert interdimensional organization that operates at the Axis of Dimensions, Kaien is pulled into a reality far larger than Earth. A reality where worlds fracture, rules change, and survival often demands sacrifice. He is sent where others cannot go. To places where decisions cannot be undone. But power leaves scars. As Kaien moves through collapsing realms and silent wars, he begins to realize something is wrong—not with the worlds he judges, but with the role he has been given. And beyond the boundaries sealing humanity from the wider multiverse, something ancient has taken notice. Watching. Waiting. Because some forces do not fear destruction. They fear judgment.

GETTING REBRANDED

After a fatal accident, a man wakes up in the body of Paul Franco, a coma patient in 1970s Connecticut. He quickly realizes he has transmigrated into the terrifying world of The Conjuring. He isn't alone, though; he is bonded to the Warren Legacy Protocol, a metaphysical system designed to hunt the demonic. Knowing the grisly fates awaiting the families the Warrens help, Paul must use his system to level up his spiritual defenses. The System: The Warren Legacy Protocol 1. Case Management & Foreknowledge What it does: The system generates "Case Files" for supernatural events. Since the MC knows the movies, the system rewards him for using that knowledge to solve hauntings faster, providing XP and "Faith Points" (FP) for every soul saved. 2. The Skill Trees (Psychic Development) What it does: Instead of static powers, the MC invests points into trees like Abjuration (creating physical shields against ghosts) and Discernment (seeing through demonic illusions). This allows him to "tank" supernatural attacks that would kill a normal human. 3. The Faith Shop (Sanctified Arsenal) What it does: A mental marketplace where the MC spends Faith Points to buy legendary holy artifacts. He can summon anything from Blessed Salt and St. Benedict Medals to high-tier relics like Michael’s Scale, which can physically wound high-ranking demons.

Kurumi and Akira, shut-in siblings with no future, only had one glory in life: Dungeon Forge, the game where they built the unbeatable Grand Tower of Ourolith. On the day the servers closed, they woke up not in their room but in another world, with their entire tower brought to life. Cosmic guardians, deadly traps, endless labyrinths—everything they created now stands real. As the feared Kaliburz and DollMaker, the siblings must face kingdoms, races, and powers that see their tower as a threat. Why were they brought here? And in this new world… will they reign as rulers, or be remembered as destroyers?

PLEASE IF YOU AREN'T EMOTIONALLY STRONG I DON'T ADVICE YOU READ. Ren Komura’s family wasn’t killed. They were turned into statues by a demon who collects human tragedies as art. Ren survived not because he was strong, but because he’s broken—his touch nullifies magic in a world that runs on it. Now, with a power that could destroy what’s left of his family if he ever tries to save them, he must enter a deadly Knight Exam to hunt the demon… knowing every step closer might be the one that erases them forever. THIS IS A SLOW-BURN, PSYCHOLOGICAL FANTASY. The action is earned, the trauma is real, and every silence is heard. This isn’t a story about chosen ones or easy power. It’s a story about what’s left when the world turns to stone around you. It’s about a quiet so deep it becomes a weapon. It’s about the cost of looking a monster in the eye and asking “why?” I can’t promise you a happy tale. But I can promise you a real one. I can promise you a fight that will leave scars, a vengeance that will demand everything, and a truth that will change what it means to be a hero. If you’re ready for that—if you’re ready to follow a boy with hollow bones into the bitter dark—then turn the page. And Ren Komura has only just begun to fall. Thank you for your time, your attention, and your trust.

Born in the frozen and lawless North, far from the orthodox and unorthodox powers of the continent, a nameless boy dreams of building a sect for the poor and discarded. To achieve it, he creates a cultivation manual that evolves through battle, turning suffering into power and turning the weak into demons capable of defying Heaven itself. By sixteen he steps into the Master realm; by eighteen he becomes Grandmaster; by twenty-one he shatters the continental ceiling to become the youngest Heavenly Master in recorded history. His sudden ascension terrifies both orthodox and unorthodox factions, forcing them to unite as the Murim Alliance to crush him. But war does not begin when he ascends—it begins after he builds his Demon Sect into a nation, turns merchants into allies, and commoners into disciples. When the Murim Alliance finally declares war, they find not a sect, but a continental faith already rooted in the hearts of the powerless. In a world without immortals, where Heavenly Master is the apex of martial authority, he becomes the First Heavenly Demon—founder of the Demon Nation, destroyer of the old world order, and origin of the Demon Religion that reshapes the continent for generations to come.
