tragedy

Ethan Blackstone dies in a high-speed collision only to wake up freezing in the Midgard Wildwoods, wearing a stranger's skin. He hasn't just transmigrated into a Norse myth; he is a "Temporal Warrior" whose soul has merged with a body carrying a faint, ancient Giant bloodline. This connection grants him Ancestral Memory Reliving, allowing him to experience the genetic history of the Jötnar, and a Bonfire Respawn ability that has already recorded five deaths in his soul. While he joins Kratos and Atreus on their journey to Jötunheim, his meta-knowledge of the game's plot acts as a double-edged sword, especially when he begins absorbing the essences of fallen foes—like a Dark Elf's shadow-sight or Modi’s berserker rage. Interestingly, his presence creates a "blind spot" in Heimdall’s foresight, making him the only variable in the Nine Realms that the All-Father cannot see coming.

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.

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 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/

The Arghon Continent is divided into four powerful regions, all bound to the supreme will of the Wang Empire. In the early 800 AD, Arghon stands at the peak of its civilization—a golden age built on strict control. To maintain this fragile peace, every child is torn from their family at a young age, drafted into imperial training to serve and protect the crown. But a shift is coming. Born with an intellect and power that defy the very limits of human knowledge, one young woman possesses the potential to shake the empire to its absolute roots. In a world defined by a ruthless power struggle, betrayal, and pain, her existence might be the ultimate weapon—or the ultimate undoing.

Five years ago, the sky tore open. Rifts bled monsters into the world—beasts beyond reason, nightmares given flesh. Nations fell. Borders vanished. Civilization collapsed into factions and fortified cities, clawing to survive a reality rewritten by cosmic horror. Amid the chaos, a new kind of human emerged—Hunters, awakened with powers no one understands. They are soldiers, mercenaries, and weapons in a war with no end. Ha Joon is not one of them. Or so he thinks. Plagued by memories he doesn’t trust and a name tied to shadows, Ha Joon is pulled into a brutal training program hidden deep within the forest. Overseen by Chi Long—an enigmatic woman whose discipline is as cruel as it is surgical—he is stripped of comfort, humanity, and choice. His only company: Eun Byol, a former idol kidnapped and thrown into the same nightmare, her spirit breaking as she’s forced to become something she was never meant to be. Together, they must survive Chi Long’s merciless tests, the monsters that lurk beyond the trees, and the truth buried in their blood. All while two names—Ash and Tears—haunt the edges of the world like ghosts. Whispers say they’ve seen the end. And it begins again with Ha Joon.

One kiss. One curse. Bond her to misery. She was meant to die. He was never meant to love. Missy's life ended in betrayal—by the man she trusted, by the people she worked for and served with everything she had. She lost everything—her career, her dignity, her love ... and finally her life. But death does not take her. Saved by a mysterious man who appeared whenever death reached for her, she didn't realize she had already crossed a line no living soul should survive. But he is not a savior. He is Raven.

BLURB A princess loses her kingdom. A princess loses her family. A princess loses her dignity. Her people have lost all hope, now at the mercy of their worst enemies. Nyssa has faced judgement, death is at the corner. And as the emperor Damon has decreed, no one can go against it. There's only one decision - to escape. Would she succeed? And even if she did…would the outside world be any better? Clinging unto the last thread of hope, she must rise through blood, secrets and power to reclaim her kingdom or die trying. Can she, a broken princess, destroy an empire and free her people?

"The law says a Queen cannot rule. The King says the law must be cheated to save the world." To protect the Seven Kingdoms from the rising darkness of Draeven Zareth, King Aetheron and his most trusted ally, Lord Kaelor, commit a desperate act of high treason. They swap their newborn children. Azeal, the son of a Lord, is raised as the Crown Prince—the "False Heir" who must endure the brutal Shadowed Abyss to prove his worth. Vaelora, the true Princess, is raised in the shadows of the court, her royal blood hidden to keep her safe from ancient laws and even deadlier enemies. But fate cannot be tricked so easily. As Azeal and Vaelora grow up together, a forbidden love ignites between them—a bond that defies the roles they were forced to play. Azeal fights to become the strongest King Solthera has ever seen, while Vaelora becomes the fire that guides his soul. When the Shadowed Abyss calls, the test is not just of strength, but of the heart. As Draeven Zareth’s forbidden magic breaches the borders, the truth of the swap begins to leak like poison. Azeal must face the ultimate trial: If he is not the true King, can his love and courage still save the woman he was born to protect? A saga of sacrifice, ancient trials, and a love that asks the heavens for one more chance: "Born me again." "This story is also being published on Royal Road by Barniya."*

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

"Story by me, translated by AI." Throughout the ages, Pangeos has been a rugged mosaic of hatred. Humans, Elves, Dragons, and Dwarves have woven a history not of progress, but of systematic carnage. Ancient spells collide with devastating technology, shrouding the sky in a permanent veil of war smoke. On this planet, survival has always meant the annihilation of your neighbor. Yet, as the Great Wars reach their bloody climax, a shadow deeper than any grudge emerges: Zero. Zero does not seek gold. It does not seek land. It seeks the end of the equation. Its goal is absolute: the "resetting" of Pangeos into a completely silent, colorless void.

As a journalist who had no idea who Homelander or the Seven even were, Joey was reborn as Superman and found himself living in the corrupt, rotten world of The Boys. Could anything be more dark than that? Only after Joey set out on a strange journey to resurrect his adoptive parents—traveling across the DC and Marvel multiverses—did he realize— There really was! --- This is a translation and not my work. The original author is 门扉之神克里斯. Please support the original author if you can! The link to the original book is: https://www.qidian.com/book/1041213140/ --- This is like my fourth translation work so I can guarantee quality. One or two chapters per day cuz this is a passion project and I have actual work.... And finally, a small advice as a fellow reader of this fanfic, I would advice start reading from chapter 30. Although the name is "Starting from The Boys", the original author kinda butchered that arc. It's... not great... The author probably realized that so he moved on to the next world pretty early. The writing gets significantly better starting from the next world, which is the Flashpoint world. There's a reason I straight up upload this book with 40+ chapters... But feel free to read it if you want, I'll leave it there anyways lol. I'm at chapter 90 as well so I'm also reading as I translate. Enjoy!

“Hey! What's going on? Wh…why are you quivering? Why haven't you sealed his magic yet?” The mage didn't reply for a moment, the beads of sweat grew in numbers as his whole body was now totally drenched. “H…he… I can't! His aura, his mana, his magic is growing. He is growing rapidly, I can't tame him. I can't. He's too…” Meanwhile, in the shadow realm, Grey smirked as he lifted his hand and made a slashing motion in the air in front of him. “Dimensional Slash.” _ In a world teeming with mages.

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!
