tragedy

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

In a realm where summer arrives with heat and departs in cold, purple wisps drift through the air. Lords and ladies from the Twelve Cities gather to bow before their monarchs, while above them lingers the long-lost Grace of the Purple. And aether laughs long. Yet the rulers who proclaim themselves righteous do not care for every city equally. Lineage City is a land of fog, poverty, and cutthroats—where cats speak, the tarnished are despised, and ordinary people live as little more than slaves beneath the conflicts of their masters. Among them is Grey Nirmala: a golden-eyed boy cursed by misfortune, hating the monarchs in a realm where such hatred is treason. Beside him stands Raya, led by curiosity and a craving for liberty, and Klein, a good-hearted boy who sees the flames waiting to devour everything—while carrying a shine of his own. Souls bonding and gleaming around them from tarnished to sisters and brothers—heirs and friends. But as conflict rises across five worlds, the unknown begins to stare back through the Chasm. Fate hates what it has become. And someplace beyond their sight, an Organizer mourns over.

In the heart of modern-day Delhi, 2026, a terrifying phenomenon begins to unfold young university students are mysteriously aging into old men overnight. The city is in a state of panic, and at the center of this chaos is Kiyan, a Chhayodhbhav (a nightborn entity who drains age and life force, the offspring of a Chhayagrasini). Cursed with an eternal hunger, Kiyan has roamed the earth for centuries, forced to steal the lifespan of others just to survive (umr choosna). Haunted by his own existence, he is a predator who desperately wishes to be human. Enter Aarav Sharma, an unassuming history student at Delhi University. Aarav's life takes a drastic turn when he unknowingly awakens the Devanshik (a divinely blessed one who wields divine power) abilities of his ancestor, Raja Manikya the very king whose lineage was sworn to eradicate the Chhayagrasini bloodline. When fate forces these two sworn enemies together, an ancient war is reignited. Aarav is caught between his duty to protect the city from the "monster" and his growing realization that Kiyan's golden eyes hide a soul-shattering pain. The mark of the Aadisrashta Chakra on Aarav's wrist begins to glow, signaling that the Devanshik and the Chhayodhbhav are "two branches of the same ancient root"and one cannot be whole without the other. With a secret organization named Aagya Sangathan (the Aagya organization) hunting them for their biological secrets, and the vengeful spirit of the Tamomayi (dark practitioner) Virbhadra seeking to reclaim Kiyan's power, the line between protector and destroyer blurs. Will Aarav strike down the enemy he was born to kill, or will he become the protector of the one person the world fears the most? “I am the end of your hunger, and you are the beginning of my curse.” Also by the author: Moonvelly Series Book 1: The Gaze (Available on Amazon Kindle). #UrbanFantasy #MaleLead #HiddenPower #EnemiesToCompanions #ModernMagic #SupernaturalMystery #IndianMythology.” #UrbanFantasy #MaleLead #HiddenPower #EnemiesToCompanions #ModernMagic #SupernaturalMystery #IndianMythology

Premise: A girl raised as an elite assassin escapes her brutal upbringing, yearning to live a normal life. Psychopathic in nature, she doesn't understand love the way others do-but when she meets a kind-hearted college boy, she feels something unfamiliar and decides to change. She shadows him, protects him from the shadows, and fakes being a regular student. What she doesn't know is that the boy is secretly the long-lost son of a dying crime lord. Though he's innocent on the surface, he's unknowingly the heir to a throne others are killing to claim. Assassins begin hunting him, and she does everything she can to protect him without revealing her past. But there's another secret: the boy is secretly a masked vigilante fighting crime at night, trying to end the kind of violence that shaped her. Neither of them realizes just how tangled their lives are, or how similar they really are beneath the lies.

When a devoted fan of A Song of Ice and Fire opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Westeros. Not as a king. Not as a lord. He became Suleiman, a nameless minor knight under the impoverished Daddings family, living by the muddy lower reaches of the Green Fork in the Riverlands. No gold. No soldiers. No influence. The family ruled over barely fifty peasants and held a status so low they were nothing more than silent figures in the corners of noble banquets. Before him stood the crushing weight of eight thousand years of aristocratic hierarchy. Yet in a land torn by war and shifting tides, this outsider from another world began his climb. From the mockery of “Sir Stinky Castle” on the edge of a swamp… to the throne of the Trident itself. In Westeros, even the smallest pawn can become a king. --------------------------- Join my Patreon now to get instant access to the next chapters!

Over 3,000 years ago, a vibrant world full of life was shattered by the sudden arrival of ruthless gods who destroyed great civilizations and ruled with merciless cruelty. Lands collided into towering mountains, seas swallowed cities, and skies unleashed endless storms and scorching heat. Hope survived only when the first god fell—the moment known as the 'Genesis.' Now, in the year 1,853 ATG (After The Genesis), a lone protagonist awakens in a bleak desert, accompanied by SAI, a holographic companion. Haunted by dreams of a world untouched by gods—a world teeming with life and freedom—he sets out with one burning desire: to explore this strange new reality and uncover the truth of who—or what—he really is.

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

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

Kisha Aldens is a normal office worker with average earnings, not until she suddenly sees a system countdown in front of her. Her mind suddenly received a prompt warning about the apocalypse and urged her to integrate with the system to assist her with her survival. "Have I overworked myself again?" She thought while pinching the bridge of her nose. She blinked a few more times but the system interface is still there. Little did she know that this system would be her last lifeline in the upcoming apocalypse where human morals would be the lowest, trust is only a word and betrayal could happen in the blink of an eye. A naive person like her had to learn her lesson the hard way on how to survive and navigate in the zombie-infested world. And the worst part, she had to die 99 times to harden her heart and learn how to read the human heart. How will her 100th time be different from the previous lives, will she survive this time? And will survival be her only problem in the heart of the Apocalypse? No, there was a deeper scheme in play which she has to uncover moving forward.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.
