tragedy

Formerly Lost from Light and Changing Star of the Immortal Flame Clan find themselves on opposite ends of the Hadarac Desert in the soon-to-be war torn world of Alagaësia. Unaware of how or why they have been sent to this foreign realm, they must choose how they will navigate the new world, and suffer the natural consequences caused by their sudden arrival. They are capable of shaping the path of this world irrevocably, whether they try to or not... so what will they choose? To forge bonds, allies, and companionship with the foreign races? Perhaps rule them, better than their own naive, selfish, incompetent, and ultimately lacking leaders ever could? Will they lead them into war? Watch and wait? Pick sides, play two or three, maybe toss a couple things on the board just to watch the sparks fly? Negotiate treaties, establish new nations, destroy or enslave races and maybe even species... who knows? It's all fair game when you might as well be a deity. - - - *Spoilers for Shadow Slave if you have not read past Ch. 1868.* *Spoilers for The Inheritance Cycle if you have not completed the series.* This work of fiction has been created for fans of either or both series, and as such, will be written with the assumption that the original works have already been completed by my readers. Attempting to follow along without having read the original stories will be difficult for new readers to understand without the copious amounts of context, but I will do my best where I can. I urge you to go read both series if you haven't already. They are both fantastic. Enjoy.

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Ah! Reincarnation! A second chance at life, it's a perfect opportunity isn't it? Wrong Between a disability that makes him so weak that his parents want to abandon him in the street, a war building up, and not even knowing which world he's in, Jeremy would say you're wrong. Reincarnating is an horrible experience. And he STILL doesn't know in which world he's in! _______ Kiiiind of slow burn, of course in the world of naruto but the protagonist will take some time to figure that out. Pretty dark too. Doing this story to train my writing. _____ Also on royal road

[P.S No AI is used for this book!] In the year 2025, a sudden outbreak happened where humans are turning into monsters that would feast on another human. The word is zombie. They appeared in all major cities on the planet infecting millions by the day. Among them was Adrian, a college student who was about to go home after his class when suddenly zombies appeared out of nowhere. Of course like every human being who sensed danger, he ran and escaped. But minutes after he killed a zombie, an holographic interface appeared. [Modern Weapons Gacha activated!] [Would you like to try out your luck in a modern weapon gacha system?] Adrian tested it since there’s nothing to lose. [Congratulations! You have received an M4A1 and a 5x fully loaded magazine!] With that, he found out that he has a gacha where he could potentially receive handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, bazooka! Even a tank or an attack helicopter! With his new power, he would use it to kill zombies and hostile survivors, and save the people who were dear to him. And just like that, Adrian suddenly has a weapon to fight in a new apocalyptic world.

In a world ruled by bloodlines and brutal hierarchy, Elara is a mistake. As the illegitimate, "wolfless" daughter of Alpha Silas, she has spent nineteen years in the shadows, supported only by her eldest brother, Leo. But when an enemy attack leaves Leo dead and their home in ashes, Elara’s father chooses to save his "perfect" daughter, Selene, by selling Elara at a black-market auction. Her buyer is the legendary "God of War," Alpha Kaelen of the Obsidian Pack. Elara expects a savior when she catches the scent of her fated mate, but she finds an executioner. Believing Elara intentionally left his "true love"—her half-sister Selene—to burn, Kaelen buys her only to make her suffer. Bound by an iron collar and cast into a silver-lined dungeon, Elara is forced to endure his vengeful wrath and the pack’s cruelty. However, Elara’s "wolfless" nature is the world’s greatest lie. Beneath the scars of silver poisoning lies the Hallowed Bloodline—an ancient power capable of commanding the elements and bridging the void.

This is a Warhammer 40,000 fan-made story. While some timeline elements have been slightly adjusted for narrative purposes, the tone and spirit remain unmistakably Warhammer. Expect references to memes, historical events, and chaos-fueled absurdity woven into the drama of this universe. Li Feng, an ordinary college student studying in the US, thought he was just driving home with his quiet, gentle girlfriend Empress. But in the blink of an eye, a roaring warp vortex tore open before them and dragged Li Feng across reality itself, hurling him straight into the grim darkness of the forty-first millennium. And then came the real shock. His girlfriend was never human to begin with. She was a fragment of the Emperor’s soul, wandering the mortal world in disguise! ……… Stranded on a barren, war-torn planet with nothing but panic in his lungs, Li Feng found himself surrounded by a mob of bloodthirsty orks. Just when he was certain he was about to become green-skinned minced meat, a glowing panel materialized in front of him. A system? In the Warhammer universe? Maybe... just maybe... things were about to get interesting. -------------------------------- 70 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

A generic Isekai story with no other redeeming qualities. Death is often the end of all things, a stop to the train known as life. That is common sense. But what if it wasn't?

A talented individual who is respected by many and welcomed everywhere… Not at all! A bloodthirsty battle fanatic who knows no defeat! However, he is usually kind and gentle, as well as a great boss and a subordinate who does not make a fuss! That’s what people think of me, but in reality, I’m a sickly person who struggles to get by in everyday life, let alone in battles. Due to excessive stress, I vomit blood. If I’m shocked, I vomit blood. Even if I’m slightly startled, I vomit blood. For no reason at all, I vomit blood… No, it’s about time everyone realized that I’m weak, but for some reason, they continue to have a strange misunderstanding about me. So… I used to be strong—no, I still am, but for some reason my body was damaged and I can no longer use 100% of my skills? Is it because my body will be unable to withstand it? And the reason for it is… a spell? A curse? This is ridiculous! ___ This is an upload of a PDF I have. I don't know who the original translator is, but I'm pretty sure it's MTL. I will make small modifications to each chapter to correct some things that may be confusing.

This story does not promise a perfect ending; it is about a life that is visible at every step of a world that does not give anyone the respect to live their life according to their own wishes. This story belongs to a time when people showed off royal lives, when people’s lives were in the hands of others, when people used to be puppets...this is a tale from that era… The story will be much more enjoyable to read; if the plot is written beforehand, the fun will be spoiled. So read it first, then believe.
