tragedy

He had thought he had finally reached peace. But when faced with a disaster he could not comprehend, Oren realized it was not peace waiting for him, but death. In desperation, he pulled on his anchor, escaping certain death. The anchor did not return him "home," nor did it grant him safety. Instead, it dragged him downward and cast him into a cursed world. He fell from the clouds and crashed into a lone house on the distant outskirts of a great city. He survived but at a cost. Cursed by the very world he had trespassed upon, Oren awakened there as something he had never been before. Stripped of what he once was, he was forced to walk the world and flourish as something painfully fragile, slowly reclaiming what had been taken from him.

In one night, I slaughtered my entire clan. No one screamed. No one cried. No one even tried to run. They just stared at me with empty eyes as my blade fell, again and again. Because a strange plague has stolen something essential from humanity: the ability to feel pain. Physical pain. Emotional pain. Guilt. Fear. Love. It’s all gone. They are hollow shells, and their emptiness is contagious.

One night, beneath a cold and watchful moon, he ran. The one born within a palace draped in gold, yet never seen as a prince—Vecillious lived in silence, a forgotten shadow among grandeur. Starved, bruised by those sworn to guard him, he was the emperor’s son in name alone, untouched by love’s tender hand. He ran beyond the iron gates, beyond the harsh stone and whispered betrayals, he fled into a world ablaze with light and noise—a festival bursting with life he’d never known. Lost and broken in a shadowed alley, unseen by the revelers, his heart shattered. How can one find safety—if safety has never been felt? Then, from the quiet, came another. Acheros, bearing his own silent wounds, was no hero—but he could not walk away. Two souls, scarred and searching, bound by stories yet untold. Who could foresee how high they’d soar, Or how deep they’d fall?

Sagiri was never meant to exist. After his entire clan was wiped out he is the only surviving member and the last keeper yet he doesn't remember. Raised in secrecy and sent to Galka War Academy, he survives among boys trained to kill, endure, and obey. While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity. The Echo is the legacy of the N’garu, a legendary clan erased from the world in a single night. They were warriors who could slip between moments, speak to the shadows of the past, and reshape fate with a thought. Their extinction was celebrated across the tribes. Their return is feared more than war. Sagiri carries the last spark of their power. A whispering presence tied to his heartbeat. A force that chooses its own master. But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind. Forgotten beings turn their eyes. And the world begins to shift around him. The South wants to crown him. The North wants to erase him. The Echo within him wants something else entirely. And it has finally awakened. https://discord.gg/gMa9tend

A street vanishes for nine hours. When it returns, it brings back a macabre massacre with no explanation. The second case is worse: an entire block. One man comes back—not alone, but with three bestial bodies. Creatures the size of cars that managed to cross the barrier of the dream. According to him, they were the smallest ones. The weakest. The giants were left behind, thrashing on the other side, as if that block were a fragile cage on the verge of shattering. As the city spirals into panic, someone realizes it was last night’s nightmare. And liked it.

After escaping the hell of bullying in his city, Hidara travels to the city of 'Malisora' in search of a new beginning, but he finds himself kidnapped and thrust into a dark conflict between the forces of good and evil. In this world, the Forbidden Techniques have appeared—abilities that grant their users, known as the 'Forbidden Ones,' immense power that transcends human limits. Manipulating magic and operating in the shadows, a secret organization works on a terrifying biological project to create predatory monsters that feed on humans. These experiments rely on merging living human organs with DNA extracted from the last surviving man of a rare lineage that was completely annihilated; the genes of this lineage grant these monsters sharp intelligence and a strategic instinct that makes them infallible killing machines, with the goal of building an unstoppable intelligent army. Hidara’s journey begins when he and a group of teenagers attempt to rescue victims from the grip of a criminal gang, only to find themselves in a direct confrontation with those monsters and the organization behind them. As events escalate, Hidara discovers shocking truths about the lost lineage and secrets that link those around him to this dark fate. To survive in a world that does not pity the weak, Hidara finds himself forced to approach the 'Forbidden' and make fateful decisions that may change his very essence, ultimately choosing: will he remain human, or transform into something else?

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

[WARNING: EXPLICIT MATURE CONTENT] I thought I was selling my time. Turns out I sold my soul for eighty-five thousand dollars and a downtown view. I swore it was temporary. One year of overtime, of his hands in my hair, his rules on my skin, his voice turning haram into a moan. One year, then freedom. But every time he bends me over his desk after hours, every time he calls me “good girl” and I come apart on command, I sink deeper. The devil owns me. And I’m terrified I never want to be saved.

In a world where humanity controls only a quarter of the land, survival is not a right—it is a gamble. Beyond the kingdom’s borders lie the Outer Lands, territories ruled by demons, dragons, and forgotten gods. Those who enter return rich… or not at all. Rexor de Strauss is the son of a fruit merchant—born a commoner, armed with nothing but a blade and a technique created to survive, not to conquer. Trained by a father who once walked the Outer Lands, Rexor learns early that strength is never free. But he is not alone. Among priests who abandoned the weak, nobles who rewrote history, and a kingdom that exterminated an entire family out of fear, hidden sins begin to surface. Ancient gods watch silently, bound by contracts they cannot break—waiting for humans desperate enough to meet their conditions. As demons stir, bloodlines awaken, and betrayal seeps into every alliance, one truth becomes clear: The world is not broken. It was built this way. And when the Outer Lands finally consume the last human borders, no god will come to save them.

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.
