No Such Luck

She doesn’t remember who she is. He doesn’t know where he belongs. And the Perennial Forest is done waiting. Pecola is blind. But her world is far from dark. Haunted by glowing spirits called Breaths and chased by flickers of forgotten memories, she enters a forest no one returns from—except her. And she has no idea why. Antic is trouble with a smirk. He’s not cursed—just clumsy, chaotic, and not nearly as powerful as the warriors in his realm want him to be. When his family is destroyed by a rival clan, all he wants is revenge... until he meets her. Together, they stumble into a journey neither of them asked for—guided by a porcelain doll with abandonment issues (Dolly), a grim-faced swordsman with secrets (Grin), and the dangerous, sensual magic of a world built on memory, grief, and desire. QUICK PEAK: "Don't move," Antic said, voice low. Pecola froze mid-step. "Why?" "Because," he whispered, eyes locked on her, "if you take one more step in that dress, I might combust." She tilted her head, blank as always. "Combust?" He nodded, nose already bleeding. "Tragically. Violently. With a little sparkle." A beat. Her lip twitched. "You're disgusting." "I'm aware," he said, wiping his face with the back of his hand, "but I'm also charming. And very, very emotionally unstable. So please, keep talking." A ghost screamed in the distance. Neither of them looked.

Content Warning: This story contains graphic depictions of violence, intense emotional struggles, and mature themes. It explores complex character conflicts, dark fantasy elements, and supernatural themes. Reader discretion is advised. In a world where emotions shape reality, Yūgensekai is split between realms of light and darkness. Each place reflects the inner battles of its people-where fear can give birth to monsters, and hidden desires can tear lives apart. Kuru Aoshima is a young woman trying to find her place in this fractured world. With a past full of loss and mystery, she's on a journey not only to uncover the truth about the world around her but also about herself. She's haunted by her own doubts and struggles, torn between the darkness within her and her search for clarity. In a world where your feelings can turn into powerful, dangerous forces, keeping control isn't just a matter of survival-it's about holding on to who you are. Facing powerful enemies like Raikou Saito, the ruthless leader of a syndicate that trades in suffering, and Serena Akihara, a leader torn by her own inner conflicts, Kuru's journey is full of heartbreak, violence, and moments that test her spirit. As she fights for answers, she is constantly on edge, pushed to the limit, both physically and emotionally. Bloodied and broken, she refuses to give up. But in a place like Yūgensekai, where darkness and light are always at war, how much of yourself can you lose before you're gone forever?

[Ding!] A new System has been granted to you! [Ultimate Luck System: Unlocked] A system...? I didn’t even know these things still existed. I thought they were just rumors from when the system era existed. I thought the government eventually found a way to shut them down... [Do you wish to learn more?] Y/N — Please select an option. > Y [Welcome, User: Saito Yoshihiro] [Initializing Probability Sync...] [Your fate is now bound by chance.] Saito Yoshihiro was just another nobody in a world where heroes are ranked, sponsored, and carefully trained from birth. Born without any elemental affinity, combat skill, or physical advantage — he was expected to live out his life quietly while supporting the other heroes. But when a dead System suddenly awakens inside him, he's granted the power to twist luck itself. Critical hits become inevitable. Death traps become jackpots. The worse the odds, the stronger he becomes. Those left in the world with a system would be seen as unique or a problem depending on what they have. This means that Saito would become a target for recruitment from big corporations or even the target of jealous heroes. But what else lurks in the shadows of this world driven by heroes?

This is also my first modern hero society type of story! I promise it'll be worth the read :)

Her name was, but now is not known, she is no longer worthy to even be recognized as a person. She killed her mother, who was sickly all her life and caused her sister to commit suicide. She killed her best friend Anith accidentally, and her childhood crush who confessed his feelings to her, was killed. All because of him. Even though he has practically ruined her life she keeps going back to him. She keeps wanting his cold short ended warmth. She claims to hate it but finds his obsessive love with her to be comforting. She knows that even though she doesn't deserve anything, not even to die, for that would be considered mercy, he is the only acception, for he doesn't deserve anything either.

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

I’m face-planting into a puddle, dropping my lunch down a sewer grate, and somehow angering a high-ranking noble’s daughter (again). But you know what? If Lady Luck is gonna play games with me, I might as well learn the rules.

Sixteen years ago, the city of Jenkiora fell to a terrifying demon invasion led by the ruthless Purple Demon, a force of destruction unlike any the Land of Joy had ever seen. In a desperate bid to save his people, the Warrior King Raizen Yuhira sacrificed everything — sealing the monstrous entity into the eyes of his newborn son, Senko. Now a young man bearing the curse of the demon within, Senko lives a life shadowed by fear and hatred. His violet eyes mark him as different, a constant target of scorn and bullying. But Senko’s dream burns bright: to become the strongest warrior, to earn the respect he’s been denied, and maybe one day, to claim the throne his father died protecting. Trained at the prestigious Ironcrest Academy, Senko must navigate deadly trials, fierce rivals, and the dark whispers that follow him — all while wrestling with the violent power lurking behind his gaze. As old enemies resurface and secret factions scheme in the shadows, Senko’s fight is no longer just for acceptance — it’s for the fate of the Land of Joy itself. In a world where trust is scarce and demons can wear a man’s face, can Senko rise above his curse and become the hero his people desperately need? Or will the purple flame in his eyes consume him first?
