trauma

Journey a thing that makes life intresting but, this story isn't something interesting but dark. A nightmare that no one can forget. The three friends who felt the journey and it's darkness never ever can forget.

Arata, who is a one-night stand, is fed up with his life, but his mysterious and magical little friend Archie tries to save him.

This story is not about heroes. It is about children forced to become gods in a world that treats sacrifice as tradition and survival as virtue. It is about betrayal made out of desperation, power born from suffering, and the quiet question of whether ascension is worth the cost. If you are looking for easy victories and hollow triumphs, this may not be for you. But if you enjoy slow-burn growth, moral conflict, and a world that does not forgive weakness—then welcome. Thank you for giving this story a chance.

“You said you were worthless. But worthless things aren’t taken by anyone… Yet I’m taking you.” The boy narrowed his eyes. Renji smiled faintly. “So that means… you have worth now.” Fractured Gaze is a novel about broken souls, fading loyalties, and the quiet violence of choices that can’t be taken back. In the ruins of a forgotten empire, past tragedies hold power. And the rebellion begins — not with war horns, but with fractured people learning how to bleed together. There are no chosen ones here. No heroes. No prophecies. Only those who’ve been hurt... and those who decide what that pain is worth. If you're looking for a fast-paced power fantasy, this might not be your story. But if you’re drawn to action, found family, and the cost of fighting for something that may never love you back — welcome. All chapters are free to read. Written by me, occasionally assisted by AI tools for editing, phrasing, and clarity. Cover art generated with DALL·E by OpenAI.

A tormented man flees through a cosmic void, haunted by fractured reflections of himself and the crushing weight of existence. After enduring starvation, terror, and physical agony (including being flayed alive), he reaches the Cathedral of Cosmos – a realm of terrifying, incomprehensible divinity governed by the Indomitable Magistrate. The Magistrate, a being of chilling indifference and cruel mockery, confronts the man. He resurrects the man’s greatest pain: the memory of his wife and child, incinerated in war. A tormented man flees through a cosmic void, haunted by fractured reflections of himself and the crushing weight of existence. After enduring starvation, terror, and physical agony (including being flayed alive), he reaches the Cathedral of Cosmos – a realm of terrifying, incomprehensible divinity governed by the Indomitable Magistrate. The Magistrate, a being of chilling indifference and cruel mockery, confronts the man. He resurrects the man’s greatest pain: the memory of his wife and child, incinerated in war. Forced to relive this trauma, the man is then compelled by the Magistrate to ritually flay his resurrected wife using a "Bayesian Blade," transforming her suffering into a perverse sacrament called the "Liturgy of the Flayed." Her final words affirm eternal hatred born of suffering. When the man attacks the Magistrate in rage, his defiance is effortlessly crushed. The Magistrate concludes with a musical performance underscoring the Cathedral’s core truth: all meaning is inverted. Pain is love, cruelty is compassion, and suffering is the only transcendent sacrament in a universe devoid of gods, hope, or redemption. The man’s journey ends not in salvation, but in the absolute acceptance of torment as his only reality.

Hikari no Kuro (Black of Light) He was born into violence. Trained by sixteen. Forced to kill by seventeen. By eighteen, Kuro did not inherit Tokyo’s underground. He absorbed it, until his silence ruled louder than screams. For twenty years he wore a scar under his eye and blood on his knuckles. His father built a king; Kuro became a monster who believed he deserved no light. Then he vanished. No war. No funeral. Just rain, a battered T9 phone, and a throne he abandoned only after making sure it would not collapse without him. Hikari was never meant to meet him. She has spent her life learning how to disappear: shaking hands, hidden bruises, a breath that catches when men get too close. She does not believe in rescue. Only survival. When violence corners her in a dead-end alley, Kuro sees her. Not a victim, not a ghost, but someone worth pulling back from the edge. Even if the calm he wears stops holding. This is not a love story. It is a covenant written in bone and forty-three seconds of silence, between a woman who believes she is ash..., and the man who knows ash still burns. Because even in the purest light... a shadow always lingers. ! Content warning ! : violence, trauma themes, harassment. Chapter-specific CWs provided.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● In the shadowed stillness of the room, she stood transfixed amidst the onslaught of memories of a father now gone. Her tears fell not with a cry, but traced a path down her cheeks in a heavy, stifled silence. As his tall shadow loomed upon the threshold, a faint tremor of dread and uncertainty coursed through her. He stepped inside, moving forward slowly, until he stood close before her. For a fleeting moment, her gazed locked with his—those wild eyes said to carry the scent of blood and the weight of a dark, haunted past. But behind that predatory gaze, another truth was beginning to reveal itself. His fingers, trembling with uncertain restraint, reached towards her face; a touch so delicate it seemed impossible that these hands had ever closed around the cold hilt of a sword. He gazed into the girl's light brown eyes but, he was not looking at her; instead, deep within her eyes, he was searching for someone else. Then with his gentle hands, brushed the tears from her cheeks. With a fevered longing, he pulled her against his chest, as if he were chaining her to his very soul; he then buried his face in her hair. With every breath, he drank in the scent of her. The girl, eyes wet and body rooted in place by fear, yet burning like a furnace from sheer embarrassment, heard the rapid thrumming of his heart against her ear—a beat whose rhythm, like the tender words of a mother, offered solace to a broken heart. Her fear dissolved in the face of the man’s pure and evident grief. She lifted her shaking hands, clutched at his clothes, and in that heavy silence, allowed herself to rest in the chill of the embrace of that dangerous man.
