tragedy

An army of 150,000 men marched in sync across the valley, their footsteps causing the very mountains to tremble and the ground to convulse. They chanted prayers of the old. Today shall be the day the wronged are vindicated, the oppressed are recompensated, and the fallen are avenged. A man clad in armor made of Xitesos-iron, mounted atop a beautiful black steed gazes over the valley, towards the walls of the walled city nestled between massive mountains. His mane of long, wavy hair tousles in the breeze, much like the bright red flags the cavalry behind him carry. Crepuscular rays penetrate the skies, looming over the massive army and the city in the distance. Listen—because today the sky is at war, and it all started with a boy's home turned pyre. One spark, unquenched: a crimson-eyed orphan, forged in ash and ambush, chasing ghosts through empire's jaws. What is conatus, if not this primal roar—the ache to shatter icons of loss, to reclaim dawn from rain that devours all? In a world of marble scars and stolen skies, one soul defies: not for glory's hollow gleam, but to kindle what the dark named impossible. -------------- Some info regarding the novel: This is a historical fantasy novel set in an expansive, living, breathing world with many different factions and diverse biomes. Conquest, finance, logistics, power systems, politics, dramaturgy, emotional growth, revenge, morality, becoming a better person and fights—such themes are prevalent in the novel. I try to make descriptions cinematic and captivating, during both grand junctures and intimate moments, making sure the text composition feels almost poetic. I am not a good writer by any means, but I have lofty ambitions, and if such a writing style appeals to you I would really recommend this novel. The characters in this novel are quite complex and almost real-like. They are written with the intention of making the cogs in your mind turn and your morality clash (that, and providing for some extremely entertaining moments). I'm inspired by works like bleach, and want the characters to be unique like Kubo Tito's, not just copy paste cliches. A lot of characters, places, weapons and other stuff will be based on real historical events and names and what not. Great conquerors, grand cities, fabled kingdoms and monolithic turning points. There isn't any magic per say (magic in its supernatural form), rather,broken abilities are a natural, imbuded part of this world in a bio-physiological aspect. Its a well balanced power system that isn't too overpowered, which would lead to stagnation and steer away from the themes of the novel. Release frequency- There is no fixed frequency, but I try to upload as often as possible. Expect some insane power scaling in later chapters (Around the end of the Dusk to destiny arc (vol 2) )

Heaven was supposed to be perfect. That's what every one said. No hunger. No pain. No fear. No death. And no desire. Time didn't move here - it stretched. A peace so absolute it erased meaning itself. No adrenaline. No struggle. No reward. Dopamine didn't exist in heaven. I stood beneath a sky that never changed and finally understood the truth. This place was not a reward. it was a conclusion. "You may ask for anything", the voice said. God's voice carried no warmth, no cruelty - only certainty. "Then let's make a deal". Silence. The kind that bends reality. "I want to experience something real again. Fear. Pain. Desire. Regret. Give me a world that can hit my cells to feel things again." In other reality ...... "I should have stayed up there, THX 2 ME I'M DYING ##*#@>!#".

The most prestigious high school in the country, where the rich are powerful, the powerful are dangerous. And everyone is playing a role in the chain. At the top of the chain? The Glass Circle……six untouchable students born into legacy, wealth, and manipulation. They are feared, worshipped and corrupt to the core. One night, one of them, ends up dead. What happens when Ash Rivera….a quiet, scholarship student from the slums of the city…witnesses the one thing he was never meant to see? He wasn’t supposed to be at that party. He wasn’t meant to see the body fall from the rooftop. He wasn’t meant to survive it. He definitely wasn’t supposed to catch Dominic Vale’s attention. But one wrong night changes everything. Now Ash is the only witness to a murder, and someone knows he saw too much. They want him silent. “Keep your mouth shut, Rivera. Or you’ll be next. You don’t belong here…and you’ll die trying to." But the real danger isn’t the killer. It’s Dominic Vale…..Blackwell’s golden boy and Ash’s sworn enemy. Because Dominic has his own secrets. His own obsessions.

And the truth? Might get you killed. Content Warning: This novel contains mature themes, including strong language, dark romance, psychological tension, steamy scenes, and emotional triggers.

Kael thought logging into Epoch Online, the most advanced VRMMO ever, would be just another game. He was wrong. The system assigned to him… was broken. Completely. Malfunctions, glitches, and warnings filled his vision but instead of crippling him, the broken system turned every danger into an advantage. Monsters that should have killed him exploded, attacks that should have failed hit with deadly precision, and rewards… rewards that didn’t exist in any normal play through became his. The world doesn’t know who he really is. Even the game administrators want him erased. But Kael doesn’t care. With a system that defies all rules, he will rise. Every corner hides death. Every glitch hides power. And one thing is certain the rules are broken, but Kael is unbreakable. Welcome to a world where survival is impossible unless your system is broken.

Vel is twenty-one, an orphan, and completely alone. She works part-time at a municipal library in Velgrimor, a small European city frozen in time, eats once a day at a community kitchen, and sleeps in a cheap hotel room with walls covered in images of the cosmos. She has no family, no friends, no future — only an inexplicable obsession with the universe that borders on the spiritual. She dreams of space the way others dream of love: desperately, hopelessly, knowing it will never happen. But the universe has been watching her longer than she knows. What begins as the quiet, melancholic life of a girl surviving on the margins slowly transforms into something extraordinary — a journey that will take Vel far beyond anything she ever imagined, and far beyond anything humanity has ever known. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
