trauma

Every urban legend in the world is real. Every legend is wrong. And the wrong story is still killing people today. Gu Cun was fifteen when he walked through the Time Gate with 200,000 others. They believed they were saving humanity. They died thinking they succeeded. He is the only one who knows they didn't. Now he is back in 2026 — carrying 666 years of future memory in his bones, a worn leather bag on his shoulder, and a handwritten list of 666 names he cannot put down. The water ghost in Sichuan is not hunting replacements. It is a father who dropped his daughter's photograph in the dark. The hanged woman in Aokigahara is not murderous. She is trying to make someone hear the sound she made when she died. La Llorona. The Pontianak. The Bell Witch. The churel. The white lady. The Bunyip. Every wrong legend feeds the ghost. Every wrong telling guarantees the next death. One chapter. One country. One legend. One name crossed off the list. And every crossing costs him something — not power, not cultivation levels, but pieces of himself. The reader watches him disappear while becoming stronger. He does not explain himself. He does not stay long enough to be thanked. He simply gives the dead their real names back. 666 names. 666 chances. One boy who refuses to let humanity die for nothing.

He's lived alone as long as he's worked — working jobs that exploit. His name is Seazon, but he's always been known as Sea. A half-arsed name for a half-arsed guy. Working to survive and surviving for no one. Then a book, left by the previous tenants, finds its way around his flat. When he reads the first page, instead of his own internal monologue, he hears someone else trying to reach out. He has a neighbour, Lucas — gentle, awkward, infuriatingly kind yet secretive — that refuses to leave him alone.

"Power is not a measure of energy. It is a measure of how much of the universe you are dragging behind you." Eila used to be a god. Now, he is just a rotting corpse with a sword.

The cost of his revenge was absolute. Stripped of his mana and rotting from a cosmic affliction known as Paradox Debt, Eila has been discarded into the mud of a sterile, war-torn world.

Armed with nothing but a suicidal battle IQ and a desperate rebellion at his back, Eila is going to dismantle the empire piece by bloody piece. He doesn't need magic to butcher his enemies; he just needs to survive long enough for his true power to return. However, as Eila bleeds for every inch of ground, his mind is beginning to fracture alongside the timeline.

Once a man betrayed, Andy shut down his heart and became more machine than human—a perfect being, efficient, emotionless. Years of trust lost turned him into a robot in body and soul, a mind wired for logic, untouched by warmth, love, or laughter.

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it.

Well met travelers! Come, take a seat by the fire and join me and our protagonist onto a journey of ascension, while trying to not lose sight of what it means to be human... From a bum, who stumbled through life, into a panentheistic god wannabe. Starting from a typical trope of a guy who happens to enjoy novels and other cultured works and gets yeeted into another world. But unlike other transmigrators who, after transmigration, often finds drive, purpose, power and hot babes, our "hero", after he realised that his quirk is less than worthless, manages to remain a bum(bad idea) and try to rely on luck for survival of the plot(not gonna happen). Unfortunately for him(fortunately for us) the world or maybe fate(or me) won’t allow that! If you a bum then there are consequences! You need to grow or suffer loss (or trauma)! Otherwise you will bring shame upon the name of all the legendary transmigrators! Main worlds : "My Hero Academia" and "Shadow Slave" Quirk: [Tie those damn shoelaces!] → [??????????] (No Spoilers!) If you open this novel, expect cringe masquerading as comedy, foreshadowing with a subtlety of a sledgehammer and maybe even boredom…- with an unhealthy dose of regret. Warning 1: This is my first fan-fic… or any "literary" work written altogether since ever, so I seriously expect things to be bad like…- all around(Plot, spacing, characters, dialogs, editing, release schedule) and as such I do appreciate any form of feedback/criticism. Also English is not my first language, so my grammar is also probably gonna be bad. I will try to edit things as I go. One of my main goals while writing this, is to improve my writing abilities, so I want to avoid using AI as much as possible. That will inevitably slow down the chapter release rate, which may turn really frustrating considering that I think the story progress will be extremely slow. Warning 2: I am aware that readers tend to judge fan-fic MC’s in specific ways. We expect the protagonist to be likable, cool or at least entertaining, which is completely fair. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write a likable MC yet(or maybe ever) Warning 3: This novel has(or will have) content that some people may find disturbing. You may see, descriptions or mentions of: blood, gore, dismemberment, torture, slavery, kidnapping, abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm, suicide, cannibalism, infanticide and miscarriage among other things. Reader discretion is advised. Warning 4: This work might contain certain "opinions" and "comments" about different beliefs, ideologies and religions found in real life. In case it does end up offending someone, please remember that these "opinions" do not represent the author's(mine's) actual worldview and are merely a portrayal of this fan-fiction's fictional character's way of "thinking". Warning 5: I have no idea what I’m doing. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction and as such I don’t own the rights for any characters, media or worldbuilding found or mentioned in this work, except my OC’s. All credit for respective media go to their authors/creators/owners such as: “My Hero Academia” by Kōhei Horikoshi, “Shadow Slave” by Guiltythree, “Cthulhu Mythos” by H.P.Lovecraft, “???? ?????” by ???? ?????, “Elden Ring” by FromSoftware, "??? ??????????? ?????" by ??????????? ???????, "Odyssey" by Homer/"????? ??? ???????" by ????? ????????????? “???? ?? ??? ?????????” by ?????????? ???? ????? ??????, "???????" by ???????? ???????, “???????? ????????” by ?? ???? ???, “Slay the Princess” by Black Tabby Games, “????????? ???” by ????? ????????, “??????????/??????????” by ?????, "??????? ?? ????????" by ???????? ?????????????, and many others.

[A Multi-POV epic fantasy adventure featuring a fully rendered artwork in every chapter! Updates every Friday] Survival is a word that can mean many things. It could mean the literal struggle to survive against starvation in a forest crawling with daemons so desperate that they might even be willing to eat you. The struggle to keep going as your clothes become tattered and your body is covered in bruises and breaks. It could mean the political struggle to keep your head afloat as a militaristic entity tries to mould you into the perfect solider against your will. The desperate game of cat and mouse as you're dragged into a conspiracy you never wanted to know about while the woman behind it all holds the key to finding your lost brother over your head. It could mean the struggle of allegiance as you're turned into a tool for the greater good of a city you've never been to before in the hope, the slimmest of hopes that maybe, just maybe, when you complete your mission they'll be willing to reward you with the key to finding your missing sister. The struggle against the knowledge that you have already run out of time but she's okay, she has to be okay. It could mean the internal struggle of being a prince destined for sacrifice who just wants to live. Is it really so wrong to want to live? Welcome to Gehenna. Survival is the name of the game down here. Excerpt from Chapter I: Thwack! “Go! Go! Go!” The rounded stone soars through the sky as Godien stabs his blade into the soil and runs. His gilded boots slam against the dirt pentagram drawn into the soil as he races past the first, the second, the third base—arm outstretched as he finally approaches the second to last– "You're out!" "Blast it!" Godien curses, his toe making contact with the fourth base mere seconds after the stone-keep catches the rounded stone in his mitt. The knight laughs, “Apologies, your highness!” “Liar,” Godien retorts, tone sharp despite the grin tearing his cheeks asunder. He does a cursory stretch before jogging back towards his teammates, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't fibbing a sin, Sir Diarmad–?" “Prince Godien dir Fearg Impireal!” Every knighted man, woman, and daemon in-between either freeze, or startle. Godien stumbles over a rock and falls face-first into the dirt—it's almost a miracle that he doesn't end up eating it too. He feels the shadow of his younger cousin envelop him as he pulls himself to his knees...

In a world where the chosen bear Divine Scars glowing outlines channeling infinite power leaked by Singular Beings humans forge abilities from that endless divine energy. One outline: Lightlinger. Two: Lightrozer. Their strength is bound to one or two domains, dictated by which Divine's energy flows through their scar. However, some only have an outline, with no scar. But the world is never fair. Those not chosen, driven by envy, turn to a darker path. They become Darkens killing and absorbing finite souls through cursed artifacts called Ghost Vaults. Unlike the limited Lights, Darkens craft unpredictable, often fatal abilities from stolen life essence. Souls are finite, and the hunt never ends. The vastness of existence holds boredom in some corners… and alongside it, curiosity guiding everything. Age of Layers dives into the hearts of broken souls where guilt never fades, promises warp lives, and fragile bonds are the only defiance against an indifferent cosmos. It asks one question: What are humans? Discord: https://discord.gg/3jUR673eXW

The Dark Triad Trapped in a finite cycle of four repeating loops, I awaken each time with memories intact and emotions slowly fading.
