Obsessive love

"They broke his bones. They stained his clothes with blood. But they couldn't break a soul that was never human to begin with." In the elite halls of Vidya University, Ayaan was a shadow—a "background character" with no wealth, no family, and zero Prana. To the high-born Siddha students who ruled the campus, he was nothing more than a peasant to be stepped on for sport. After a brutal betrayal leaves him dying in a rain-soaked gutter, Ayaan expects the end. Instead, he is claimed by a force far older than the city itself. Kidnapped by a feral, ancient Sage who reeks of cold fire and forgotten eons, Ayaan is dragged into the bleeding edge of the 4th Dimension. He is handed a White Book—a shifting, sentient manual that contains the forbidden geometry of the 7 Lokas. The world thinks cultivation is about gathering Qi. They are wrong. Guided by the fierce justice of Parshurama and the lethal charm of Krishna, Ayaan returns to the world that discarded him. He isn't looking for an apology, and he isn't here to play by their rules. He is a glitch in their "perfect" reality, and he’s finally learned where to cut. [Syncing Memory Fragment: The Axe of the First Brahmin...] [Status: Reality Dissection Initiated.]

In a reality where existence itself follows unseen rules, a being known only as Kael exists beyond the boundaries of the world—neither fully present nor completely absent. Once something greater, something that could define and control reality itself, Kael now exists in a state of uncertainty, no longer absolute… yet not human. Everything begins to change when two ordinary individuals—Orion and a mysterious woman—become aware of him. What starts as a fragile, one-sided connection evolves into something unprecedented: a shared space between existence and non-existence, where Kael and humans can interact—not through power, but through understanding. As their bond deepens, they encounter something impossible: An incomplete existence that was never meant to be—yet refused to become nothing. Instead of destroying it, they do something unthinkable… they acknowledge it. And it changes. This new being, later calling itself Still, becomes the first entity to define itself from nothing through pure choice. But this anomaly attracts something far greater. A silent observer. An entity that does not judge, control, or interfere—only measures. It watches not for power, but for continuation: Can beings who change, doubt, and choose… continue to exist meaningfully? Now, Kael, Orion, the woman, and Still must navigate a reality where every action, every decision, and every moment of growth is being observed—not as a test, but as a condition of existence itself. There are no battles to win. No final enemies to defeat. No ultimate answers to reach. Only one question remains: Will they continue?

“They say dreams can’t kill you. But mine already have—once.” Sixteen-year-old Neo Zane Cole has always lived with strange dreams—faces he’s never seen, powers he’s never had, and a death that feels too real to ignore. But when he goes in for his routine Bio-Mark Scan, everything changes. The machine glitches. The room freezes. And Neo’s results show something impossible: His bio-reading isn’t normal. It isn’t human. It’s an anomaly. An anomaly the world has only seen once before. An anomaly once connected to the legendary Six Saints. The Saint of Justice. The Saint of Mercy. The Saint of Courage. The Saint of Truth. The Saint of Will. And the final one— the Saint of Wisdom, who was betrayed by the other five. As fragments of forgotten memories stir inside Neo, he suddenly finds himself pulled into a world of secret powers, government surveillance, and people who seem far too interested in who or what—he might be. As danger closes in, and the world looking like it might be thrown into chaos, one thing becomes clear: A new anomaly has awakened. And he might be the strongest one yet.

When Earth is consumed by the falling star known as the Celestial Descent, humanity’s last survivors are not saved by science, armies, or kings, but by a mysterious divine phenomenon called the Celestial Gate. Thrown into Shanhai Tianyu, a living world of ancient mountains, spiritual beasts, forgotten gods, hidden ruins, and celestial laws, the remnants of mankind are given one final chance to rebuild civilization. But this new world is no empty paradise. Its forests watch. Its mountains breathe. Its rivers remember. And every oath, conquest, betrayal, and sacrifice is recorded by the Chronicle of Ten Thousand Eras. Among the first chosen settlers is Ji Yuan, a young man with no noble blood, no overwhelming martial talent, and no divine weapon. His inheritance is a broken jade seal, a starving group of refugees, and a forgotten patch of land called Qinghe. While other lords raise armies through fear and cultivators seek immortality through power, Ji Yuan discovers a different path: the Mandate of Humanity. His strength does not come from solitary cultivation, but from the people who choose to stand with him, the laws he builds, the dead he remembers, and the land that slowly begins to accept his name. To survive, Ji Yuan must turn mud into walls, refugees into citizens, markets into lifelines, and a dying settlement into a kingdom. But as Qinghe rises, so do its enemies: ruthless warlords, ancient sects, hungry merchants, awakened beasts, and celestial powers that believe humanity must be controlled before it repeats the sins that destroyed Earth. In a world where land can cultivate, history can judge, and the heavens may abandon tyrants, Ji Yuan must answer one impossible question: Can a broken people build a civilization worthy of the Mandate of Heaven?

Good news: the Ashen One has been isekai’d. Bad news: it’s Dark Souls 3! Luckily there’s a chat group—except something’s seriously off about his group! Kevin: “What savior warrior? I’m just a working stiff who just moved into the Golden Courtyard.” Doctor: “Holy crap, weren’t there supposed to be girls? Why is the one opening the coffin some mysterious masked guy? Also, stop calling me Rhodes Island’s Doctor—call me a Reunion college student.” Stelle: “Trailblazer? Don’t know her. I’m just a staffer in the Herta Space Station’s maintenance department.” Ashen One: “…What the hell? Why are my chat group buddies all spin-off versions of people? This makes zero sense!” Putting aside whether this bunch can even help him beat Teacher Gundyr… Right now, the four of them are facing a problem of their own: Rainy night. Overpass. Maybach.

Story Synopsis Title: The Whispering Palms / Roots of Brahmaputra I have tried to portray the rural heritage and culture of Bengalis in this story. Kashem Ali has spent his entire life tilling the soil of Nayanpur, the village where the Brahmaputra’s mist mingles with the scent of wet earth. His youngest son, Arif, escaped the rural struggle for the gleaming glass towers of Dhaka. But after three years, the prodigal son returns, not with harvest tools, but with a sleek suitcase and a devastating proposition. A mysterious land developer offers a fortune for the family land to build a factory, a deal that could secure Arif’s future in the city and save his aging parents from toil. But for Kashem, the land isn’t just dirt; it’s his legacy, his food during famine, his identity. As family bonds are tested against the lure of modernity, a shadow looms. A local political leader, motivated by his own greed, eyes the lucrative land, ready to exploit the simmering tension between father and son. Kashem must now make an agonizing choice: preserve the heritage of his ancestors, or sacrifice his life’s work to give his son a future in a world he doesn't understand. "The Whispering Palms" is a poignant, gripping tale of the choices that define us and the enduring pull of home.
