tragedy

In the storm-shadowed streets of Mizunashi, where skyscrapers loom over shrines and history bleeds into neon light, two ancient swords ignite a war that will scar generations. Forged in the Edo era by warrior-pharmacist Minizawa Hukitaske Murakaze, the Pharmaceutical Twin Blades were said to heal with one strike and poison with the other. Long sealed away, they now draw the attention of a phantom thief, a resurging crime syndicate, and a forgotten brother. Dr. Akio Murasaki Hukitaske, once only a humble pharmacist, is thrust into a nightmare when the Phantom Analyst-a masked thief with a face eerily like his own-steals one of the blades. As the Red Smoke Bandits rise from legend and blood soaked marks with fox-mask wounds fill the streets, Akio and his mismatched family-Raka, the broad-shouldered Gucci-wearing granny brute; Hikata, the jokester TV host with fists of steel; Rumane, calm and calculating; Riki, ex-delinquent turned former officer sheriff; and Akazuchi, the shy prodigy coder-must battle through grief, betrayal, and blood-soaked truth. From rooftop chases to warehouse massacres, every fight cuts deeper than steel. Loyalties fracture, secrets bleed out, and Akio must face the hardest truth: to protect the living, he must understand the fate of the brother who became a thief, and the legacy of blades that "do not only cut flesh-they cut fate." A tale of science, shadow, and sacrifice-a Japanese thriller where family, history, and destiny collide. (ALREADY ON WATTPAD, NOW ON WEBNOVEL)

I do not own anything from Marvel or Naruto. I just enjoy both universes. So content warning first, this is a fanfic of hot steaming garbage. I hope you enjoy it. I will most likely put in bad words, fights, gore and maybe some smut. Or maybe I won’t, we will see how this goes. This story is my attempt to write some fanfiction that I won’t hate, which is still up for debate. ------------------------------ Let us follow the MC as he is pushed into the world of Marvel with his own special super power made up from the world of Naruto. This will be close to the MCU, but let's call it Earth-199999-AU. AU is for the author's universe. MCU, check. X-Men, check. Doom and the fan-4? Double check. Other stuff from comics,  also check. From Naruto, eye powers? At some point, so check. Tailed beasts and summons? Nope. Chakra and ninja powers? Check and check. ------------------------------ At least one chapter will be posted weekly, possibly more if I write enough. This is posted on RoyalRoad, Scribble Hub, Fanfiction and now Webnovel. I also now have a p@treon set up under Pewpewcachoo go check it out if you want.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

[The early chapters are admittedly slightly awkward to read at times (if you're well-studied in English), but they are grammatically correct. This is my first time writing a first-person novel and writing in general. I will change and update it soon, don't worry. Keep reading, the chapters improves over time.] The backrooms or the liminal rooms, such an enigmatic never-ending place. Most of the lost souls there are normal people with average capabilities and most of the time, they die. They don't last long and if the backrooms won't consume them, their own psyche will. No one can truly escape the backrooms, there is horror in infinity. However, what if the lost souls this time aren't your usual lost souls? What if they're familiar, what if they're characters from a series that you're fond of. Will they survive the liminal space? Their stories will connect and they'll handle the liminal rooms in their own way. Most of them will reject the backrooms, unwilling to surrender to it. Some will conquer it and even outright own it.

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality tremble from a boundless might, And the earth quaked across the starless night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound reality in grief's most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet the star never found the words to seek amends, The answer on the tip of its tongue which it couldn't transcend. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its boundless soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the broken world. Wherefore to him whose destiny it had reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new, endearing light. Until at last the end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from then on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

In a world veiled in enigma. Ruled by distant gods and eldritch entities had its story set in stone. An ode began to form. It wasn't in the concept that flourish instantly. No, it is in the figure of a woman whose identity was that of an ordinary secretary working for an unincorporated company. Would you like to see a new perspective and begin to love the 'Original' once more? How far would you cross between the border of a canon and a fiction? "Lord of Mysteries: Goddess of Origin."

Before Cheri City raised its towers of pride, it was a rotting caste-pit where the poor were counted as waste and cruelty wore the mask of order. Gomi Kirā was raised by the only two people who ever fought back against it — and orphaned for that crime before he was old enough to understand. Sold into servitude by a system that profited from his grief, Gomi spent six years on his knees scrubbing floors that were never clean enough, learning a vocabulary of disposal from people who called it discipline. He was blinded in one eye for the crime of looking his masters in the face. He was beaten for reading. He was reminded, every day, in every register cruelty knows how to speak in, exactly what he was worth. Then, at fourteen, he was murdered in an alley — and thrown into the Skies of Misfortune, the Pit where the world discards what it refuses to bury. He should have stayed dead there. Instead, something ancient and starving found him first. He came back with a horn breaking through his skull, a curse burning green behind a blind gray eye, and no patience left for mercy — his own or anyone else's. The dead call him their king. He never asked to be anyone's anything. But the Pit doesn't ask what you wanted. It only asks what's left of you once it's finished deciding. You Are Nothing But... Filth! is not a story about a kid who overcomes the word he was given. It's a story about what happens when he decides to pick it up and use it back — and what that decision costs the few people foolish enough to love him anyway. Across two volumes and twenty-four episodes, Gomi and the broken found-family he refuses to admit he needs will descend deeper into the Pit's ruined cities, buried bloodlines, and older kings — chasing a truth that was never as simple as hero or monster. Sometimes it isn't the heroes who rise from the ashes. It's the filth they tried to bury. Rated MA25+. A dark, gruesome, emotionally unflinching saga of survival, inheritance, and the price of becoming what the world insists you already are.

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."

“Everything comes to an end,” that is what Riku, an ordinary young man, will be forced to learn far sooner than he ever imagined. Mistakes and immaturity are among the consequences of *that* tragedy. It will open his eyes but gradually close his mind, blurring the lines between “reality,” a “dream,” and an “illusion.” And no matter how hard he tries to run, one can't outrun themselves...
