tragedy

There had never been silence like that. It wasn’t the absence of sound — it was presence. Heavy. Alive. A stillness that crushed memory, breath, time. Elías awakens on cracked earth beneath a sky of rotten red and black-blue. The stars above drift like bloated, decaying eyes — floating in stagnant fluid. There is no sun. No moon. Only a damp, unholy light that seeps from nowhere. The air tastes like ash and burns like guilt — and something inside him stirs. He doesn’t remember this world, but it remembers him. He doesn’t know what he lost, but it’s still bleeding. When the silence finally whispers his name, he understands: Elías is not alive. Not dead. He is what remains. And this world — whether the last, or just the next — will bleed before it forgets him again

“I’m not saying I’m unlucky, but my school has an evacuation plan with my name on it.” — Elias Elias has always had absurd luck—the kind that lets him dodge near-death experiences on a daily basis. Like the eye of a storm, he always walks away unharmed… but those around him aren’t always so lucky. It’s earned him the affectionate nickname “Walking Disaster.” When his parents vanish and he unlocks the “Lucky God System,” Elias realizes his weird life was just the tutorial—and maybe all those “accidents” weren’t just bad luck after all. Between daily disasters, a mysterious system, and his missing parents, Elias is in way over his head. “One wrong move and the cafeteria might explode again!” --- Author Note: I'm pretty new as an author and am mainly doing this story for fun. I wanted to make a system-trope story without all the sub-tropes I really hate in this genre—like braindead villains, harems of women who are only there for eye candy and fall head over heels for the main character, side characters with no substance other than to serve as foils, or trashy, arrogant, or stupid protagonists who get a system for literally no reason. I do hope you guys like it, but I won't be too hurt if you don't. I'm making this for my own fun and not trying to write an award-winning novel or anything. But of course, if you like something or have ideas on how it can be better, feel free to mention it! I'll try to post a chapter at least once or twice a week, but if I'm in a groove, I might post way more. Also I'm not my own biggest fan. I'm a perfectionist and reread chapters multiple times after it's been published to check and fix for mistakes. :'( it's easier for me to read it through reader few than editing view.

Darken lived as something less than a slave, less than a human. Under the mercy of a mad merchant, his existence was nothing more than an extension of submission—a neglected being, unworthy of even a passing glance. Even the pigs received more care than he did, and the serfs knew a mercy he had never tasted. Hunger was not just a fleeting sensation; it had become a constant companion, clinging to him like a shadow. and Pain was not the result of random blows but a perpetual reality, repeating without end. Yet even in a world like this, there are moments that ignite the spark of change. When an unknown force attacked the merchant caravan, chaos erupted—screams, flames, blood. Escape was not a choice for Darken but an instinct, a drive untainted by hope, but fueled solely by pure fear. Every step was a desperate grasp at life, but his frail body failed him, sending him tumbling unnoticed off a towering cliff into the abyss of the sea. The water invaded his lungs, and death seemed a welcome relief, something to embrace. But fate had already carved a different path. On an unfamiliar shore, between the crawling heat of the sand and the whisper of the gentle breeze, Darken opened his eyes for the first time—to find himself looking at the world through the eyes of a free man, unchained, unclaimed. Yet for someone who had never tasted freedom before, its weight might be something entirely different. Note: Chapters are published every four or five days, and at most, every week.

With the blade, what can you cut, the Flesh or the Soul? With your eyes, what can you see? With you ears, what can you hear? Doom or Redemption? Can you walk whilst crippled? Can you speak though dumb? What is life? Is it something you can simply understand? It's spiritual essence? Speak not, if you say yes. For it is beyond understanding. For you to win, you must let go and live as if you never existed.

【Post-Apocalyptic Mecha + Cosmic Horror & Intrigue + Superpower Evolution + Factional Politics】 Kai Shen , a new recruit deemed an "anomaly" by the Federation due to his inability to perceive "color," was classified as a potential threat and high-value experimental subject. He narrowly survived his first brutal battle, which nearly wiped out his elite squad. Then, a secret order from the Federation's highest authorities thrust him into an even more perilous unknown realm alongside a mysterious lone hunter whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. Kai believed this was merely a "special mission" filled with calculation and surveillance. However, while exploring a forgotten ancient ruin, he and the mysterious hunter fell into an endless "time loop" trap set by a terrifying entity known as "Mirror Shadow." Here, death is not the end, but the beginning of deeper despair. The trust and resolve of his former comrades are their only anchors in the fight against the endless cycle. After enduring countless blood-soaked and tear-filled “reboots,” Kai Shen sacrificed a crucial ally to awaken the forbidden power within the “Colorless Core,” capable of interfering with causality, severing the chains of the prison's laws. When he returned to the seat of power with a secret that could determine the fate of the Federation, the balance of power within the Federation began to shift dramatically due to this small “anomaly.” The puppet masters behind the scenes finally realized that this “pawn” they had deemed controllable had already gained the power to overturn the entire chessboard! Federal High Command (a certain puppet master): “Impossible! He is merely an ‘anomaly’ sample, a ‘defective product.’ How could he sever the causal prison of the ‘Mirror Image’?” Peisu La: “I have observed the fall of countless ‘variables.’ But you... seem to be the first to find the meaning of your own ‘existence’ before being completely ‘formatted.’” “The true source of power of that 'colorless core' that can devour, analyze, and even reconstruct everything—does it point toward the 'apocalypse' that destroys everything, or... the 'origin' that creates the future?”
