Tragédie

Daniel only wanted an ordinary day. Classes, a bit of hanging out, then home before the rain grew heavier. But that humid afternoon became the beginning of the apocalypse. Humans began attacking humans, and the transformation happened right before his eyes. “Monsters don’t need a screen to be real.” Daniel said quietly. “And now they’re here. Everything Xavier talked about has come true.” This was not an ordinary outbreak. The colder the air, the faster they evolved. An air conditioner left running could become a death sentence. Rain was no longer a relief, but a trigger for slaughter. Trapped on the upper floors of the campus building, Daniel survives with Chania, Bianca, Xavier, and Kimberly. Five people with different fears, ways of thinking, and moral limits. Outside, the monsters grow faster. Inside, human decisions become even more dangerous. Chania said, “He almost bit us.” Daniel replied, “Not almost. He stopped being human a while ago.” This is not a story about heroes trying to save the world. This is a story about survival as the temperature continues to drop. And about one rule that cannot be negotiated. In Degrees of Death, the ones who die first are not the weak, but the hesitant.

Five years ago, I was the "worthless" foster son who had taken the fall for a crime I never committed. I went to prison for my brother's future, thinking that my family would be there to care for my wife. I was wrong. While I rotted away in Blackgate Prison, my inheritance had been stolen: they had wiped off my existence and treated my wife as a slave. They thought I would die in there. But the fate had different plans. In the darkest cell, I met with a mysterious master. I did not just survive; I was reborn. I learned the Nine Heavens Medical Art and activated the Sovereign Martial Body. I healed warlords and crippled assassins in a single touch. Now the prison gates are open. I am no longer the submissive orphan. I am a Dragon King. To my foster family celebrating my misery: Prepare your coffins. To all those billionaires trying to touch my wife: Prepare to lose your hands. I will save lives with my left hand and destroy my enemies with my right hand. The King is out, and debts must be repaid in blood.

My peaceful short life had been quickly cut off by a band of bandits that had raided my village, killing my father and capturing my mother. The bandit leader took a fancy to me and decided to make me one of them because of my face, for reasons unknown to me, but this was only the start of my journey. The more I grew up the more I realized that I had no talent, I was as ordinary as I could be, with no inherited memories, no old masters to help me improve my talent, no legacies left behind, no locked bloodlines that would burst into activity when I was in danger. But I still had something that most people didn't have. A stubbornness that many wouldn't possess, the stubbornness and sense of danger that I got for life after I saw my father die in front of me. And with that, I shall predate upon those that are more talented than me. I shall walk forward and reach the apex of the world, not because I want to protect anyone, but because that's simply what I want to do! Regardless of the methods that I have to use or the people that I have to push out of my way!

Description: Moving past the death of his only friend and teacher. Orb heads into the world to find a way to die happy and fulfilled. Though the boy who lives in the present carries the weight of something that lived in the past. A curse, a blessing, a legacy. The story of those who carry things they should never have had to, and the choices of their lives which affect them and the world as a whole. Three chapters a week. link to cover artist: https://www.fiverr.com/winda_chu?source=inbox  Usually, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words per chapter. Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.

When creation shattered, the pieces remembered the one who broke it. Kael Ardent was a scientist chasing the impossible, a machine that could bend time and save the woman he loved from death. But the moment he activated it, the world fractured. Reality splintered into countless realms, each a reflection of his grief, his guilt, and his forgotten power. Now stranded between dimensions and hunted by the echoes of what he once was, Kael must journey through broken worlds born of his own mistakes. In every realm, he faces a truth he tried to bury, that the universe itself remembers him and demands balance. From the ashes of dying cities to the silence at the edge of eternity, Kael’s path becomes one of redemption and revelation. The deeper he ventures, the more he learns that the fracture is not merely destruction but rebirth, and that love can shape even the laws of creation. To mend existence, Kael must confront the one force greater than his own will, the shadow of himself that seeks to finish what he began. Fractured Realms is a cosmic epic of light and ruin, blending science, fantasy, and emotion into a story of one man’s struggle to rebuild the worlds he destroyed and the love that refuses to die even when reality does.

[ Endure... and grow stronger. ] [ Host! Survive Absolute Zero, and you will gain dominion over it. ] [ Host! Endure five days inside an erupting volcano, and your control over fire will surpass anything you possessed before. ] ________________ The day a colossal tower called Zenith appeared, the apocalypse began. Its gates led to countless worlds, each filled with monsters, impossible landscapes, and beings that should never have existed. Humanity's only hope lay with the Awakened-those born with supernatural abilities-who climbed the tower in a desperate attempt to save their world. Rin was the weakest of them all. Betrayed, abandoned, and left for dead, he awakens a mysterious system unlike any other. Instead of granting free power, it drags him into the Chaotic World, where every trial is designed to break both body and mind. [ Survive Absolute Zero.] [ Endure an erupting volcano. ] [ Overcome impossible trials... or die trying. ] Each absurd and merciless mission pushes Rin beyond human limits, transforming him into an existence the world can no longer classify-an Anomaly. But as he grows stronger, one terrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore. The Chaotic World, the system called Charly, and Zenith are all connected... And somewhere beyond the tower, the being who created this apocalypse are waiting.

What would you do to clear a debt you could never repay? Isaac Rhoades is at rock bottom. After taking a massive illegal loan to pay for his sister’s surgery—only for her to die anyway—he’s hunted by brutal loan sharks, fired from his warehouse job, and left homeless. Just as he's about to end it all, a strange voice echoes in his mind: “System Activation: Mission Credit Redemption Protocol Initiated.” The Debtbound System offers him a way out—but every cleared dollar requires a mission. Deliver cursed packages. Eliminate dangerous criminals. Expose corrupt politicians. Some missions save lives. Others destroy them. Every success earns him powers and a chunk off his debt. Every failure comes at a horrifying cost. As Isaac navigates this deadly path, he discovers he's not the only one bound by the system—and some users will do anything to break free. What started as a fight for survival becomes a war for redemption, power, and the truth behind the system’s origin. To win his freedom, Isaac must conquer the missions. But to keep his soul… he must conquer himself.

They went to war as soldiers. They came back as brothers. But when the system they fought for betrays them, loyalty becomes their last weapon. Echo Unit was built from broken men — a reluctant captain, a rebellious sergeant, a quiet strategist, a wisecracking soul, and a young recruit with everything to prove. Together, they form one of the most lethal special operations teams in modern warfare. Deployed into a war that no longer makes sense, Echo Unit faces the brutality of combat and the corruption festering inside their own command. When a mission turns into a massacre and the truth is buried, they are marked as traitors and forced to survive behind enemy lines — abandoned, disavowed, and hunted. But in the smoke and blood of a collapsing system, brotherhood becomes their only compass. Each man must face his own demons — guilt, fear, betrayal — while holding the line for the only thing that still feels pure: each other. Years later, when the truth threatens to resurface, the surviving brothers reunite for one last mission — not for orders, not for glory, but for honor. From the trenches of betrayal to the ashes of redemption, Iron Bonds is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable strength of men who refused to die forgotten. It’s not just a war story. It’s a story about what survives after the war.
