tragedy

"Let the light shine upon you." It was only an activity to pass the time. The book was just one of the many she read. It may linger but like the many, it will pass. However, it caused her death. A morose ending that triggered her stress. She couldn't understand how the villain came to be. Of course, it would be a great plot twist. But. Come On. Of all the characters it had to be him. ... An enigma was inserted into a book. Would you like to meet the villain's savior? or How to save a villain 101.

She has died for him nine times. In every past life, Seol Areum loved the same man — cold, brilliant, and utterly unreachable. A crown prince. A warlord. A nameless soldier. A ruthless CEO. Different faces, same soul. And in every single life, she watched him die in her arms... or worse, watched him forget her entirely. Now she's back. Again. Reincarnated into the body of a disgraced noble's daughter in a kingdom on the brink of war — and he is here too. Prince Kaien. The most feared man in the empire, with eyes like winter and a heart locked behind walls she's spent nine lifetimes trying to break. He doesn't remember her. He never does. But this time, something is different. Because this time — he's looking at her first. And this time, Seol Areum isn't going to cry, sacrifice herself, or let fate win. She's going to be selfish. She's going to be ruthless. She's going to make him fall so deeply that even death won't be able to take him from her. But the closer she gets to breaking his walls... the more she realizes the truth behind all nine of her deaths. It was never fate. Someone has been killing her — on purpose. "I have loved you across nine lives and watched you forget me every time. This is the last time I will be the one to break. In this life, I choose myself — until the moment you choose me too." — A story about love that transcends lives, a woman who refuses to be a sacrifice, and a man slowly remembering a soul he was never meant to forget.

What does it mean to be human? In the far distant future where all life has seemingly perished, an astral meteor collides into the remnants of a giant mechanized disc located underground in an isolated ghost town. From the disc, a single entity awakens within cryostasis with only one clear path: "I must kill the Lords of METIS." She wields a blade surging with the life force of an ancient named Alfaic, whom she denounces upon first contact. She is an unnamed warrior, who is affectionately nicknamed Lyn (LYNBG52) by her comrades from a single mysterious code name tattooed on her left arm. Grotesque aggressive creatures known as the Rots are composed of a combination of rotting entities that roam the lands. Seeking to devour all life they come across, their relationship with the denizens of METIS and the apocalypse resembles more than just their sustenance, but a secret that Lyn must discover for herself if she is to save humanity or watch it perish.

In a world that only worships light, was born an heir to the title of King of Darkness who is destined to become the destroyer of the world—Leviathan Demonio. His existence is both a blessing and a threat to an unbalanced peace. Light is worshipped and darkness is exiled. In this world, there is magic and false history. No matter how much evidence is found, in the end only lies are recorded. Questions are never answered correctly, instead giving rise to more secrets. They live within a system built upon lies. Respect what they hate, and hate what they respect. That is the only rule to survive. Only one, yet no one is able to use it to open the path toward truth. Then, how? The destruction is not the spark that lights the fire, but a time bomb that could explode at any time. Can the truth be found before that?

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work. I am moving this story from my previous account (SageofMusic) to this new handle (Ekadash). I am the sole creator of Music Box Mayhem.

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.

Ten years ago, the legendary Ryomen family was shattered in a storm of ash and fire. One son was dragged into darkness, and the other was left behind to carry the ghost of a fallen legacy.

Trained in isolation under his grandfather’s strict guidance, he has mastered the foundations of the blade — but the world has already moved on.

What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated. to get more info about the world, power systems and the like, hit my Tic tok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZS92ku3TGugtN-2aGQj/

Everyone knows the legend of Tsugikuni Yoriichi — the almost divine swordsman whose strength and solitude made him untouchable even among the Demon Slayers. A man who shone like the sun… yet whose fate was forever marked by tragedy. But what if his story had taken a different path? What if, like Tanjiro Kamado, he had a brother who became a good demon—and one final chance to fight not only against evil, but against destiny itself? Born into the Tsugikuni bloodline, Hiru was adopted as the third brother of the prodigious twins—Yoriichi and Michikatsu. Yet unlike them, his fate diverged into shadow and flame. Between humanity and demonhood, brotherhood and destiny, Hiru’s existence would become the unseen thread that rewrote the story of the Sun Breather himself.

“Fix my grandsons.” That was the only instruction the old billionaire gave. “Turn them into proper heirs… and I’ll change your life.” How could Eli possibly do that… when he’s just a broke college student juggling six jobs to survive.

But sometimes life throws you into the wrong fairytale. After a disastrous cleaning job in the Donovan mansion, Eli finds himself sitting before the terrifying grandfather with a contract that could change his life: Live in the mansion as the housekeeper And turn the billionaire grandchildren into responsible heirs before the old man retires.

Now Eli isn’t just the help anymore….he’s the contract fiancé of a Donovan heir, living in a mansion filled with four chaotic heirs who clearly have no intention of behaving. And if he thought that was bad… They are acting very naughty about it. Way too interested, curious, and pushing him toward trouble he never asked for. But the mansion hides more than bratty billionaires and family drama. There are secrets buried behind locked doors. Dangerous family politics. And someone might be planning something that ends with a body on the floor. The deeper Eli gets into the Donovan family, the clearer it becomes that the grandfather didn’t choose him by accident.

Secrets strong enough to ruin the entire family. And the terrifying possibility of falling for the one man who was never supposed to love him back. If he’s not careful… Eli might not make it out of this mansion alive. Help! From the author of: Glass Hearts [BL] and The Pleasure Letters.

Cyrus Moore was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old stuck in the endless cycle of classes, dull conversations, and the growing feeling that life had nothing more to offer. Bored with the monotony of everyday existence, he never imagined that a random accident would one day change everything. But when he's struck by a car and somehow survives, he awakens to a reality far stranger than anything he could have ever imagined. After the accident, Cyrus discovers that he's changed. Mysterious powers begin to emerge, reality starts to crack at the edges, and he is thrust into a hidden world where magic exists beneath the surface of modern life. As secrets unravel, he learns that monsters, mystical forces, and powerful organizations have been hiding in plain sight all along. Caught between the ordinary world and the magical one, Cyrus joins a group of others who are just as gifted, confused, and overwhelmed as he is. Together, they must navigate deadly threats, uncover dangerous truths, and survive in a world where fantasy is not only real but far more perilous than anyone could imagine. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

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.

It was a lie. And he knew Leith must have realized it. But the man did not respond to the lie, did not judge, did not ask any further questions. He just remained silent... and slowly bit his own index finger until a drop of blood appeared. Then, with a movement that was almost inaudible, he reached out his hand toward Liyn. "Drink... Liyn.” Liyn's heart felt like it was being pulled out of her chest. Her breath caught. She stared at Leith's finger in confusion, fear, and… trembling. But something inside her stirred. Slowly, she grasped Leith's hand, her hands so small in that gentle embrace, then hesitantly touched that finger to her lips. She sucked on the tip of the finger, tasting the salty, warm blood. As warm as someone who cares. Yurei Yurelin dreamed of becoming a scientist and exploring the skies above, not the magical battlefield. She hid her Veyra level as a child, managed to get into a technology school, and was almost achieving her dream… until everything fell apart. Betrayed by the retest results, Yurei was forced to enter Syntara Academy, an elite academy for Veyra users. There, everyone had extraordinary talent—except her. But one thing worse than being the ordinary girl among geniuses… is the fact that her new teacher is a legendary former warrior, a man whose face can make anyone submit—including Yurei's heart. As old secrets begin to surface and the hidden power within her slowly awakens, Yurei realizes: she was never meant to be a Scientist… but something greater.
