tragedy

In a world where ambition is power, the strength of one’s will determines their place in the world. Lucien is an anomaly. While others pursue fame, wealth, or domination, Lucien harbors a far more dangerous ambition: to devour fate itself. Hunted, cornered, and forced to survive in a world ruled by predators, Lucien quickly learns that mercy is a luxury he cannot afford. With a monstrous power born from his ambition and a mind sharpened by desperation, he begins walking a path that leaves ruin in its wake. But in a world filled with powerful beings, ancient ambitions, and ruthless contenders, Lucien’s defiance against fate may bring something far worse than death. After all… Those who challenge fate rarely survive. And those who try to consume it may destroy the world instead.

Alternative Title: Villain's Saviour, Game Over Again Lin Ji’an, a modern master chef, never expected to wake up inside a dog-blood BL cultivation novel. Worse, she transmigrated into the role of the "vicious cannon fodder", the crossdressing Third Young Master destined to humiliate the future Villain and die a miserable death by his hand. Her mission? Simple. Feed the starving slave boy and the future villain, Xie Wangchen, fix his broken body, and make sure his "Blackening Value" doesn't hit 100% and destroy the world. She beats up the arrogant Heir, face-slaps the evil Stepmother, and cooks her way into the Villain’s heart, purely to survive, of course! But as they head to the Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Ji’an realises something is wrong. She thought she was raising a cute, obedient little brother. She thought she was just a "straight bro" helping him out. She thought the main plot’s protagonists would chase the original MC. So why is the Villain looking at her with eyes darker than the abyss? Why is he threatening to cripple anyone who smiles at her? And why are the original male leads suddenly lining up to taste her cooking? Lin Ji’an: "I’m just here to cook and survive! I’m straight! And I’m a girl!" Xie Wangchen, who was sharpening his sword, looked up with a smirk tugging in the corner of his lips, "Luggage? No. You are my world. And I never let go of what is mine."

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.

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend to become the strongest of the demons. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/nQEBsk3ZGX *** #Yandere_MC #Complex_Characters #No_Harem #Dark #Rare_Bloodline #Magic #Slowburn #Fated_Love #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #Runic_Sorcery #Evil_FL

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.

Two years after the fall of the Scarlet Helix, Japan prepares to showcase its greatest innovation yet: the Sky Guardian, a floating airship laboratory designed to revolutionize medicine and industry. Invited as a guest of honor, Akio Hukitaske, the pharmacist-turned-reluctant hero, boards the vessel alongside his closest allies-Raka, Riki, Rumane, Hikata, and the young coder Akazuchi. For once, it seems the world is finally turning toward hope. But hope is fragile. When a chilling broadcast from a terrorist cell calling themselves the Red Smoke Bandits claims that a deadly airborne pathogen has been unleashed, panic consumes the airship. Passengers are quarantined, bombs are discovered, and the line between friend and foe begins to blur. Akio's sharp instincts reveal a darker truth: the "infection" is not biological, but chemical-an elaborate hoax meant to cloak something far more sinister. As mercenaries storm the Sky Guardian, Akio is thrust into a nightmare of false flags, betrayals, and chemical warfare. Among the frightened crowd lurks Matahiko, a journalist turned mastermind whose allegiance lies with the reborn Yaka Lab. His goal is not ransom, but proof: that fear itself can be weaponized on a global scale. With the world watching and hundreds of lives hanging in the balance, Akio must confront his deepest fears, push his body past breaking, and face the terrifying possibility that the Scarlet Helix has never truly died. The sky burns. The world trembles. And one pharmacist must decide: how much more of himself can he give before there's nothing left? (ALREADY ON WATTPAD, NOW ON WEBNOVEL)

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.

From rooftop chases to warehouse massacres, every fight cuts deeper than steel.

The snow has not stopped falling since Marina Higikata vanished across timelines, leaving only the sting of her farewell and the ache of her absence. Akio Hukitaske, haunted pharmacist and reluctant survivor, struggles to move forward with his companions - Raka Grundane, the muscle-bound guardian, and the broken Uki brothers. Together, they bury the multiverse vial and their memories of Marina deep beneath the ruined pharmacy, sealing it all away like a coffin no one dares open. But even in silence, eyes have been watching. On the empty streets of Tokyo's winter night, Akio feels the weight of a shadow stalking him. When the attack comes, it is swift and precise - not from the Lab's twisted agents, but from a figure cloaked beneath the moonlight, wearing a traditional fox mask. He does not speak. He only leaves Akio a single note. Two words that shatter everything: Hello, brother. As Raka battles the masked stranger across snow-slick rooftops, Akio is left trembling, clutching memories that don't feel like dreams - visions of another child at his side, laughter in his grandfather's workshop, and a family torn from him by the Lab's cruel hand. Now, grief collides with mystery, and Akio must face a truth buried as deeply as the vial itself: the past is not as lost as he once believed. And the fox-masked stranger may not be enemy, but blood. A new war begins. (ALREADY ON WATTPAD, NOW ON WEBNOVEL)

A heart shattered by grief. A life poisoned by self-blame. Yamataro Mugihara saw her life as a formula broken by tragedy: lost dreams, family deaths, and crippling guilt over her grandmother's murder and office work. She sought penance in soul-crushing office work and drink, believing she was a poison to everyone she touched. Her sanctuary became Akio Hukitaske's quiet, pharmacy-a safe space built on Akio's own hard-won recovery. Akio, recognizing a kindred spirit in despair, offered a unique remedy: not pity, but the pharmacist's empathy. He used clinical observation and intellectual connection-talking about chemical balance and coding logic-to diagnose her chaos, slowly creating an unexpected bridge. But Akio's unconditional kindness triggered Yamataro's deepest shame, exploding into an argument that ended their fragile friendship. This led to a brutal, unsanctioned intervention by Raka, the muscle-brute granny, who dragged Yamataro into Tokyo's dark, chemical underbelly. Raka's terrifying shock therapy-a near-fatal ordeal-forced Yamataro to fight for her survival and confront the truth: she was worthy of safety. Yamataro returns for a final, intense reckoning with Akio, culminating in a deeply emotional argument over the correct dosage of compassion and the true cost of healing. This four-part side series reveals the quiet, brilliance of Akio Hukitaske's mind: the ability to save others by accepting their brokenness without condition. It is a narrative about finding unconditional forgiveness and building a new life on the foundation of shared scars. Yamataro's journey is proof that the greatest remedies are often found not in chemicals, but in the chaos of human connection. All told by the POV of Yamataro's words to Marina as a tale being told.

Akazuchi is a depressed, isolated thirteen-year-old coder whose world is defined by cold, rigid logic—the only safe formula he can trust. He is an intentional outsider, his silence and bad outlook acting as a desperate shield against the world that rejected his dreams. His deepest conviction is that code is the key to true imagination, capable of freeing people from the "shells of everyday society" and bringing them genuine smiles. But the relentless bullying at school has branded him a "Logic Loser" and forced his parents into financial strain, leading Akazuchi to believe he is the "bug" that corrupts his family’s peace. His dream is fragile, held together only by his battered coding laptop. When his tormentors at Seiho High threaten to shatter that last connection, his self-control snaps. A storm forces Akazuchi into the quiet, pristine refuge of the Hukitaske Pharmacy, where he meets Akio Hukitaske. Akio, the blue-haired pharmacist, sees Akazuchi not as a victim,but as a friend. This quiet consistency is the first kindness Akazuchi can’t logically push away. But Akio’s calm, clinical dissection of Akazuchi’s trauma—only fuels the coder's immense, internalized rage. When the bullies breach the pharmacy's sanctuary, Akazuchi’s fury explodes. He unleashes the terrifying precision of his coder’s knowledge, weaponizing his surroundings and his weak body to brutally overpower his tormentors. Driven by a furious, primal will, Akazuchi crosses a terrifying line, forcing Akio to physically intervene to prevent a murder. In the ensuing, heartbroken confrontation, Akio confesses his guilt for letting Akazuchi fight, revealing his own burden of responsibility. Akazuchi, cornered and raw, screams his final defiance: that Akio has no right to fix him, no right to be the hero, because he doesn't understand true, illogical suffering. Akazuchi flees into the rainy Tokyo night, leaving behind a ruined pharmacy and an utterly defeated Akio, who is left to question his entire formula for friendship and destiny. As emotional moments spring into action. Can a teenager whose rage is rooted in despair ever truly code a path to hope? Or is his dream destined to be annihilated by the violence he just unleashed?

Hikata Yakasuke lives by a single, desperate rule: Laughter Saves. His constant jokes are a frantic mask, hiding the truth of his past: a childhood shattered by poverty, the gruesome murder of his parents by his own brother, Hakurage, and the profound shame of surviving. Hikata's mother taught him that a joke is the only way to cover up the gaping wound, believing that confession will only lead to isolation and death. At Seiho High, Hikata's toxic formula of forced cheer is working—until he meets Akio Hukitaske. Akio, the blue-haired transfer student with piercing violet eyes, isn't fooled. A clinical genius and future Pharmacist-Hero from a regressed version of himself, Akio sees Hikata not as a person, but as a "highly reactive compound" on the verge of emotional collapse. Akio delivers a devastating diagnosis: "Every joke is an apology for the weight you carry." Akio's relentless, analytical empathy shatters Hikata's defenses, leading to a raw confession and a terrifying choice. Akio, instead of running, offers an anchor—a firm hug and a simple command: "The formula for healing starts with the courage to stop running." Now, Hikata must choose. Does he retreat to the safe, silent despair of his trauma, or does he accept the help of the one person who sees the darkness within? But Hikata believes getting close will only contaminate the hero. Can the figure who survived betrayal become the catalyst for the hero's ultimate compound of friendship? Or will Hikata's chaotic past become the poison that dooms them both?

A Chance To Relive Modern Life... Becoming My Dream Pharmacist! PT-2 Series Description The quiet days were supposed to last. After destroying the Yaka Laboratory and ending the Scarlet Helix's reign of terror, Akio Hukitaske thought peace had finally chosen him. The pharmacy stood as his sanctuary, its shelves filled with medicines instead of ghosts. The battles were over. The blood had been washed away by time and silence. But peace has a way of cracking when you least expect it. Seven years ago, a kid vanished from a Tokyo playground, stolen by Yaka's shadows and transformed into Subject 17. Seven years of needles and experiments. Seven years of calling for a grandfather who never came. Seven years of becoming something else entirely now—a weapon forged from suffering, wielding an Orange Galaxy Blade born from cosmic fire and trauma. Now, in the ruins of Yaka's destruction, Detective Yakahura Mizuhashi has found his grandson alive. But the reunion brings no joy—only the devastating truth that the kid he failed to save has become Kazuki, a young kid who carries seven years of rage in eyes that glow with unnatural light, who speaks the words no grandfather like Mizuhashi should ever know hearing: "You were supposed to be my hero. You failed me." As the ashes settle, something stirs beneath Tokyo's neon surface. Yaka was never truly destroyed—it evolved. A new power called X MAGIC rises from human corpses, transforming survivors into living weapons. The Clown orchestrates resurrection from shadows, his purple smoke-hands harvesting death itself. And Kazuki stands at the center, deadly and broken, forced to choose between the grandfather who failed him and the organization that remade him. When a mysterious invitation arrives from the Grand Line Hotel—a resort built over Yaka's graves—Akio must confront not just the specter of the Helix, but the consequences of his own heroism. Can he save the victims his victory created? Or has the cure he delivered become the infection that binds them all? In a city where fireworks spiral like DNA and smiles hide detonations, the line between healing and destruction has never been thinner.
