Misfortune'S Keep

Alessia Bianchi has survived ten years in silence, bound to the Morano crime family to repay her late father’s mysterious debt. But when her service nears its end, a new chain is fastened around her neck, marriage to Luca Morano, the family’s feared and volatile heir. Luca is every bit the monster they warned her about: powerful, merciless, and dangerously captivating. He’s known for breaking rules and women. But when his obsession with Alessia ignites, so does something unexpected… desire, protection, and a hunger to possess her completely. Torn between her loyalty to a lost love and the storm Luca awakens inside her, Alessia discovers her fate was never hers to escape. Buried deep in her memory lies a secret her father died to protect an encrypted weapon that could eliminate the Atlan Syndicate and crown the Moranos kings of the underworld. But claiming that power means choosing a side, losing herself in the process and even loosing Luca's soul. As war erupts, loyalties fracture, and blood stains white silk, Alessia must decide: Will she give herself to a man born of darkness… Will Luca ever truly love her without possessing her? What if the very secrets hold were the reason her father died? Will Lorenzo rise again not as her saviour but as her enemy? Or rise from the ashes of her past and take control of a world that tried to silence her?

I’m going to max out the skill wall at the base!” “Enough talk, the Lord just announced a new map has opened. I’m going to speedrun the dungeon and write a guide for the others to farm it!” “The world boss has appeared, everyone, let’s grind it together!” Watching the players grind until their eyes turn red, Cheng Shaofeng shrugs: “You can see for yourself, it’s not that I want to rule the apocalypse—it’s just that they can’t stop grinding!”

They say that the natural elements are the strongest .......... BUT I don't think so ............ I believe that the person who can control it all is the only almighty the strongest .......................

A shot…. That was all it took to push me off the cliff… As I watched Xainder shout out to me helplessly, tears slowly trickled down his magnificent face, his usual grin no where to be found, my heart shattered to a million pieces watching my entire life flash right before my eyes with no more hope to hold on to. i watched the people I gave my heart to look at me in disdain. My eyes searched for a certain someone who was nowhere to be seen. I couldn’t help but laugh at the life I led and wished I had a second chance to amend things but a part of me wants to let go. The burns on my body writhed in pains and my heart clenched in agony. Youth is a great crush, if I like you, I am going to say it aloud . It’s such a shame I never realized who I truly loved until I lost him and now, he will never know. Bracing myself for my inevitable end, a part of me leaps with joy of finally leaving this miserable world and a part of me longs for another chance at life . My life. There’s a question which lived rent free in my head, “ when we grow up, we leave the home to chase our dream not because of anything but because we know that the home behind us will never forsake and always comfort us but what happens when the home stings and causes nothing but pain , then where do we seek refuge? This happens to be the summary of my life and a question i have never been able to answer so with my remaining seconds on earth, I put the question to you all . what do we do ? ……………………… S.C.A.R.S. by TriciaX13.

I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't.

"I will keep surviving... even if the world rejects my very existence." I woke up in the darkness. No warning, no clues. As my eyes adjusted to the strange light around me, I realized—this place wasn’t unfamiliar. Yes, I know this world. This… is the world of a novel I once read. A fictional world, where heroes shine and demons fall. But behind all of that lies a truth never written on any page: This world is hell. The difficulty level? Inhuman. There’s no interface. No hidden powers awakening when I’m on the brink of death. No lucky twist saving me at the last second. There is only pain—raw, relentless, and ever-present. My body is wounded, my mind shattered, my hope torn apart piece by piece… As if someone behind the scenes is savoring every second. And I know who you are. The Author. Yes, you, sitting calmly behind the screen, typing away, Watching me spiral deeper into suffering. You enjoy this, don’t you? Watching me fall. Watching me cry. Watching me break. Maybe to you, I’m just a story. Just a fictional character with no feelings. But I know I exist. And I know this pain is real. So hear me now. I will not die. At least… not yet. Because I will survive long enough—become strong enough—to flip this story on its head. I will live. Not because this world deserves to be fought for… But because I want to hurt you the way you’ve hurt me. So keep writing, Author. Because every page you write… brings me one step closer to taking back my own story.

Gold is divine. But when Leon Graves drinks it... His blood turns purple. A color long lost to history. The color of demons. The color of destruction. as Leon dives deeper into the truth of his power—he begins to uncover something far darker. The world is not what it seems. The history they teach? Twisted. The bloodlines they worship? Corrupt. The very country he was raised to protect… built on lies. And at the center of it all—his blood. His curse. His fate.

After a series of unfortunate event, Huang Ke had nothing left to live for, he stood at the edge of the world, ready to end it all. But just as despair took hold, the skies parted — and from the clouds descended a cultivator, offering him salvation. A new life. A higher realm. A path into the cultivation world — a vast expanse of richness and opportunity. Or so he was told. What awaited Huang Ke was not glory, but chains. Bound by a soul contract, stripped of freedom, he is cast into a dying realm ruled by corrupt immortal clans — the crumbling remnants of Heaven, now feeding on the lower worlds to survive. There, Huang Ke learns the cruel truth: he is one of thousands of drafted slaves, chosen not for greatness, but for a body cursed to endure — to mine spirit stones until death or madness. Yet, when Heaven closes one path… another opens. The world is changing. Reality is weakening. And from that wound pours knowledge — machines, minds, and the spark of a new era. In the twilight of the old era, as empires fade and ancient powers grow desperate, Huang Ke must carve his own path a future no clan can control.

In the first life, Aurenya Virellae was nothing but a ghost in the Lycan King’s cold court. Unwanted. Unclaimed. Invisible.

And this time, loving him might be the very thing that destroys them both.

You know what's worse than being dead? Being half-dead. With a stiff back. No coffee. A Minecraft sheep as my emotional support animal. And a tattoo that vibrates every time I screw up — which is... often. I’m Renji Kurogane. Once a cop. Then an archaeologist. Now? Just a guy with a cosmic parasite squatting in his soul, offering universal Wi-Fi and occasional sarcasm. It all started with a cursed envelope. No sender. No return address. Just a notebook that hissed at me and a single word — Senku. One word too many. Since then? Reality’s been unraveling like a drunk god’s sweater. Timelines are glitching. Doors are opening. And somehow, I’m still the one holding the detonator. I’m not a chosen one. There’s no prophecy. No divine calling. I’m a walking bug in the system. A corrupted save file the multiverse keeps trying to delete. I’m searching for 23 fragments — ancient, cursed, possibly sentient gems that lock away something so broken, Time itself blocked it on all platforms. My mentor? A forgotten god with the ego of a cursed influencer. My spiritual guide? A sheep. A literal sheep. And yes — she judges me with every pixelated blink. This isn’t a hero’s journey. It’s not even a comeback story. It’s an existential black comedy wrapped in cosmic horror, buried under unreliable memories, and gift-wrapped by fate with duct tape and bad decisions. The universe doesn’t want to be saved. It just wants to laugh — front-row — while I fall apart. So yeah. If Deadpool, Rick Sanchez, and John Constantine had a deeply troubled child, handed him a cursed relic and a one-way ticket to Hell… You’d get me. Welcome to my story. But be careful. The Eye already noticed you. Author’s Note This story is 100% original and entirely written, directed, and emotionally overcaffeinated by me. Yes, I use tools for grammar polish and creative fine-tuning — because I like my commas functional and my metaphors mildly unhinged. But every plot twist, every relic, every scream into the void… Is handcrafted with existential dread, narrative obsession, and the kind of insomnia that makes ancient gods nervous. No AI chapters. No plagiarism. No copy-paste translations. Just me, my chaos, and a story that probably shouldn’t exist. But here we are.

Plaines verdoyantes, vallées venteuses, plages tropicales, jungles féroces, déserts arides, toundras glacées... la tour de Babel recèle de nombreux paysages plus incroyables les uns que les autres. En fait, elle en regroupe très exactement soixante. Soixante mondes, soixante étages, qui ne demandent qu'à être parcourus par des gens suffisamment forts - et fous selon certains - pour entamer leur montée vers le sommet, celui que personne n'est encore jamais parvenu à atteindre : le Sky Keep. Légende ? Mensonge ? Palais des dieux ? Beaucoup tergiversent sur cet endroit inatteignable. Mais tous sont certains d'une chose : le premier à en ouvrir les portes deviendra la personne la plus puissante de l'univers. Ces gens qui parcourent la Tour, on les appelle les ascensionnistes. Et parmi eux, nombreux sont ceux qui nourrissent le même rêve : être le premier à franchir les portes du soixantième étage ! Au sein de cette grande chasse au trésor qu'est la course au Sky Keep, Matsuba n'est rien. La raison ? Il fait parti, à l'instar de 99,9% de la population de Babel, des habitants dépourvus de la moindre capacité spirituelle. Il est un sans-pouvoir, rien de plus. Pourtant, au fond de lui, quelque chose l'empêche d'abandonner. Cette chose, c'est le rêve d'être le premier à ouvrir les portes du dernier étage.
