tragedy

When life throws turmoil your way, are your ideals wrong, or is the world itself, wrong? Watch Thomas Bax, and his peers explore their own answers to that probing question. As we all eventually see the Duality of one’s own Ideals.

After finishing another exhausting day at work, He Yan was hit by a truck. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in the world of Naruto. Worse still— He had been reborn as Sasuke Uchiha’s twin brother, now known as Uchiha Yan. And the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre was approaching. The good news? A system had awakened. The bad news? The system was completely absurd. ⸻ Mission 1: “You have just arrived in the Cultivation Realm. A beginner’s gift pack has been granted. Please defeat the Qingqiu Fox Clan.” Uchiha Yan froze. “System… is it possible I transmigrated into the wrong world?” “Where exactly am I supposed to find this Qingqiu Fox Clan?!” ⸻ Mission 2: “You have reached the appropriate age to awaken your Martial Soul. Please proceed to the village entrance and seek a Spirit Master to awaken it.” Yan nearly collapsed. “Hello?! I’m in Naruto! Naruto! Didn’t you just say I was in the Cultivation Realm a second ago?!” “And where am I supposed to find a Spirit Master? At the entrance of the Hidden Leaf Village?!” ⸻ Mission 3: “You have entered an immortal sect. After many years, the Sect Tournament has reopened. You must distinguish yourself and expose the conspiracy of the demonic path.” Yan stared at the sky in silence. “Could you at least let me join an immortal sect first?!” ⸻ And that wasn’t even the worst part. “You’re telling me the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is the Qingqiu Fox Clan?” “Wait—binding someone counts as awakening a Martial Soul?!” “The Chūnin Exam is a Sect Tournament now?! Are you serious?!” ⸻ With the Uchiha Clan’s destruction drawing closer, Uchiha Yan faces an impossible problem: He must survive the massacre— Using a cultivation system that firmly believes the Naruto world is an immortal cultivation universe. And the system refuses to admit it might be wrong. What follows is a chaotic mix of: • Daily life inside the Uchiha Clan • Brotherly tension with Sasuke Uchiha • Quiet observations of Itachi Uchiha • An increasingly confused cultivation system • And one very desperate attempt to avoid becoming a victim of the massacre The system calls stray dogs “Heaven-Splitting Demonic Beasts.” It calls the Chūnin Exam a “Sect Tournament.” And it insists that every major ninja event is part of some grand immortal conspiracy. Whether Uchiha Yan can survive the coming tragedy— With a system that may be more dangerous than his enemies— Remains to be seen.

Jin grew up peacefully with his grandfather, dreaming of becoming a wealthy farmer one day. But he never expected his life to be turned upside down in a single day. Will he be able to overcome the trials that await him, or will he submit to them and become a corrupted entity?

A world governed by the divine hierarchy of the Pantheon, every child’s future is determined on their 8th grade graduation during the Sacred Trial. A spiritual awakening that reveals which of the Seven Clans they are destined to serve. The Trial is said to guide children toward their true path and grant them the gifts needed to survive. Rom is different. Haunted by recurring dreams of a lonely figure seated upon a throne, he hears a forbidden warning echo through his mind. Considered a failure by his peers for showing no divine pre-signs of clan alignment, Rom lives as an outsider in a society where destiny is worshiped and deviation is feared. On the day of his Trial, students gather beneath the towering spiral academy where the carved faces of past clan heads watch silently from above. One by one, children enter a trance-like spiritual realm where they are judged by the Pantheon and guided toward their destined clan. But when Rom’s Trial begins, the path does not appear. Seven doors do not open.The Pantheon does not speak. Only something older answers him from beneath the carved eyes of the academy towers. Something that should not be remembered And it is laughing… insta- @thetorturedeye message me I would love feedback!!

Reincarnation in a game as the Main Antagonist. It could be a novel itself, but that was what I dragged myself into. In the famous and successful game [Princess And Dragon] As if my life wasn't shitty enough, a bastard brought me in that hardcore violent Dating Sim Game and in the body of the worst villain and [Major Antagonist Edward Falkrona] If I want to survive, I have to become strong. If I want to be strong, I have to join the Academy and by joining the Academy, I will meet these guys... Yeah, I'm obviously speaking about the Protagonist, the Main Heroines, the Villainess and all the villains. Am I destined to watch that protagonist build his harem in front of me?! =========== For the illustrations and questions: https://discord.gg/47PvntgB3K *English is not my native language so please understand some of my mistakes.

The Age of Ascension has begun. A distant war, once fought by the ancients, has returned — its influence now bleeding into the lesser realms, consuming both the weak and the strong alike. In this new era, survival depends on one thing: Transcendence. Titles have appeared, granting power beyond mortal limits. To live is to rise. To fail is to be left behind. Amid all this chaos, what am I to do when even my body isn’t mine alone?

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

"In a game where every move is calculated, the most dangerous player is the one who doesn't know they're playing." At thirty-three, Han Bo-young is the prodigy of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. A dual graduate of American law and medical schools, she possesses a mind that operates like a supercomputer, dissassembling crime scenes with a clinical coldness that unnerves her peers. But Bo-young is haunted, not by the dead, but by a past and present she's unable to escape from. The city is paralyzed when a series of "impossible" murders begins. The victims are high-profile figures: government officials, business moguls, and icons, found murdered in very artistic ways. At every scene, a signature is left behind: a single, black obsidian chess piece. The media calls him The Grandmaster, a killer who treats the city as a board and human lives as pawns. As Bo-young leads the hunt, she finds herself trapped in a psychological cage. The killer seems to be omniscient, always aware and prepared for every situation. The pieces are moving. The clock is ticking. And in this game, checkmate means the end of a soul.

KURIKORU BLOODLINE: EXISTENCE OF PAIN ‎ ‎A prophecy spoken by the Watchers foretold the rise of three brothers—sons of one man—each bound to a different fate, each destined to reshape the world. ‎ ‎Laiman was warned never to go to war. ‎He defied fate—and survived the Battle of the Sixty Thousand, a massacre no man was meant to live through. As punishment, the power that saved him was stolen and passed to his unborn son. ‎ ‎That child became Ragna. ‎ ‎Born in flight and raised in secrecy, Ragna grew up unaware that he was one of the enslaved Migardians forced to serve the very empire that crushed his people. While training at the Temple of Eyes, he discovered the truth—and chose rebellion. ‎ ‎But Ragna was not alone. ‎ ‎His brothers walked darker paths. ‎Colvo, raised in privilege, believed order must be enforced through fear. ‎Mist, rejected by society, sought freedom through revolution. ‎ ‎When blood ties were revealed, brotherhood turned to war. ‎ ‎Chains were shattered. Kingdoms fell. Crowns were raised in blood. ‎Ragna became the Liberator of Migard, Mist the founder of a rebel nation, and Colvo the empire’s deadliest commander. ‎ ‎This is not the story of one king. ‎ ‎It is the origin of a bloodline— ‎forged through pain, ambition, and prophecy— ‎that will one day dominate the Broken Continent.

What’s worse than the apocalypse? Waking up in the heart of it with no memory of who you are. On Planet Starlight-2, the laws of physics are no longer a certainty. Atoms are in constant turmoil, natural disasters strike without warning, and Aberrants lurk within the shadows of radiation. For a man stripped of his memories, survival is only half the battle. The rest is uncovering why the shadows of his past feel so intimately connected to the world’s destruction. Is he truly searching for his identity—or is he unearthing a sin that was meant to stay buried?

[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.

I am not a hero, but I once dreamed of becoming one. However, fate and the world conspired to shatter my dreams. This world was created by light and darkness, by heroes and villains. If everyone wants to be a hero, then who will be the villain? The world laughed at my suffering and called it justice. I used to believe them. I don't anymore. And so, I was forced into a role I never wanted—the villain. Yet every step I take feels like betraying those who love me, those who believed in me and sacrificed everything so I could survive. I am not a villain, nor are the others. There are no evil people in this world; they are victims of societal cruelty and the system. Destiny is not something you can reject… but you can choose how you live it. Darkness is not the opposite of light… it is where light is born and dies. And I? I am the end of everything.

Even death could not extinguish the sun. When Yoriichi closed his eyes for the final time, he expected an eternal, quiet void. Instead, he awakens in a ruthless realm of Taoism and Immortal Cultivation—a world where mortals fly on swords, sever mountains, and defy the heavens to become gods. The twist? He is no longer human. Reborn as a seemingly harmless, white fox cub, Yoriichi’s past life is nothing but shattered, fragmented dreams. Yet, his soul remembers the rhythm. Hunted by humans and surrounded by monsters, a violent war ignites within his own mind: the compassionate, protective morals of a human swordsman violently clashing against the primal, bloodthirsty instincts of a demon beast. By fusing his demonic lineage with the forgotten art of Sun Breathing, the little fox rises from the shadows to become a terrifying anomaly. A beast wielding holy fire. But when an apocalyptic darkness descends upon the Jade Dynasty, and the very human sects that hunted his kind face total annihilation... the Sovereign must make his final choice. Will he draw a blade of fire to save a world that labeled him a monster? Or will he sit upon a throne of ashes, perfectly indifferent, and watch the human realms burn?

The odds were never in his favor. He faced the impossible, bled for victories no one would remember, and walked paths meant to break men. But Peter doesn’t stop. He moves forward, through ash, through silence, through everything that should have ended him. He carries pain like armor and purpose like fire. Not because he believes in destiny. but because turning back was never an option. This is not a tale of heroes. It is the story of a man who endures. A man who keeps walking... even where gods do not. ___________________________ It’s a story about: - survival without instruction, - and what happens when you see too clearly, but too late. ___________________________ Note: English is not my first language, please don't hate me. what to expect: - no harem (sorry for some of you) - contains strong language and mature themes (text only) - a long-form story with depth and twists ___________________________

They told her to strike first. They never warned her what it would cost. When Andrea Johnson steps into her new school, she doesn’t just find bullies and rivals—she finds a dojo war tearing the city apart. Drawn into the ruthless Cobra Kai, Andrea learns to fight, bleed, and survive in a world where weakness means destruction. Friendships blur into rivalries. Enemies turn into obsessions. Every fight leaves more scars. And when blood spills on the mat, Andrea must decide—how far will she go to win? Enemies to lovers. Dojo wars. Blood and betrayal. This isn’t just a fight. It’s a war.

“Life is a banquet, and I was the only one on the menu.” Kaizen’s world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with the sound of a rope tightening. After uncovering his mother’s affair with his own school bully—a betrayal that drove his father to suicide—Kaizen was left with nothing but mockery, poverty, and a hollow smile. Faith, family, dignity… all devoured long before his death. Then came the so-called Mercy of the Gods. Summoned alongside his classmates to another world by the Goddess Ishtar to stop a world-ending calamity, Kaizen is granted a “Holy Gift” like the others. While heroes receive legendary weapons and divine magic, Kaizen is humiliated once again with the lowest-ranked skill of all: [Gluttony]—a useless hunger in a land of monsters. A curse. A joke. A perfect sacrifice. That is what everyone believes. What neither the heroes nor the Goddess herself realizes is that Kaizen’s hunger is not for food. It is an absence—something that should not exist. A void that does not simply kill, but erases. In a world that expects him to die quietly, Kaizen begins to rise. Each step forward strips something away—from monsters, from heroes… and eventually from the Gods themselves. Ishtar wanted a Hero. Instead, she unleashed something far worse. A mistake that is learning how to eat.

{WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 18+} The world marches toward an unavoidable ending. A foul, unstoppable plague of corruption called the Scourge is devouring every corner of the world. A king, Ixion, once nobly fought against the vicious, untamed foes; however, the fruitless nature of the fight was that it could only end in one fashion — a pitiful loss. If that was the destined fate of the world, and his resistance would buy a year or two at most… Why spend the little time he has left in the depths of melancholy and grief?! Why not enjoy his life while the world crumbles?! So, Ixion decides to make a list of things he wants to do and accomplish before the world’s demise. A list full of his most devious, lecherous fantasies and desires, alongside a plot of revenge — revenge against the world that had forsaken him.

Everyone's heard of the Worst Synch. After all, he did trigger the Great Collapse... But does anyone know where he was before all that? Stranded in Limbo, a realm swarming with tortured Monsters and overflowing with raw energy. It was there he encountered her. Older than she looks. Wronged in her past. As he recorded her story, she spoke of an era centuries gone: when Synchs were worshipped as gods, and the greatest among them all was blind and deaf, Lucius the Praised. When he vanished, so did she. Forgotten by history. Yet she survived. Waiting. Training. Enduring. Seeking a state even Lucius never achieved. This is her story.(A slow-burn retelling.)

Twenty‑one‑year‑old Sorrel only wanted a normal night out. Instead, her date turns dangerous—too fast, too suddenly—and she runs for her life into the one place no human should ever enter: the Veilwood. The forest should have rejected her. Its boundaries have been sealed for a century, swallowing anyone who tries to cross. But Sorrel’s terror awakens something ancient inside her. Her dormant Sovereign Arcana flares to life, opening the Veilwood’s barrier just long enough for her to slip through. The forest senses her fear… and chooses her. Crossing the threshold triggers the Sevenfold Binding, tethering Sorrel to seven powerful men whose magic answers hers: a storm‑touched warrior, a shadow‑born spy, a wildfire mage, a gentle healer rooted in earth, a silver‑tongued illusionist, a moon‑blessed seer, and the boundary‑breaker who should not exist. Their fates are now tied to her survival. Their instincts sharpen around her. And the Veilwood itself begins to wake. Hunted by the prince who destroyed her family, Sorrel must learn why the forest opened for her—and why the Arcana has returned after a century of silence. But the deeper her bond with the Seven grows, the more dangerous her destiny becomes. The Veilwood did not choose lightly. And Sorrel is no one’s pawn. To survive, she must decide whether to run from the power inside her… or rise as the Sovereign the realm has been waiting for.
