tragedy

Some love stories don’t begin with fireworks. They begin with survival. Lara is twenty-four, independent, and quietly strong. Born and raised on Réunion Island, she learned early how to build a life with her own hands—studying finance, working relentlessly, and carving out stability where she could. For four years, she stayed in a relationship that slowly dimmed her light, until an unexpected opportunity pulled her across the ocean to Australia—and finally, toward freedom. Jaden is twenty-seven, Australian with Mauritian roots, and grounded in the rhythm of the sea. A restaurant owner by the beach, a surfer, a man who believes life is meant to be lived fully—even when it hurts. He’s not perfect. He’s made his mistakes, loved the wrong person, and learned to keep moving forward anyway. They meet through friends. They weren’t looking for love. But it finds them anyway. A tragedy crashes into their lives, testing not only their love—but their strength, their past wounds, and the question neither of them wants to ask: Is love enough when life refuses to be gentle? This is a story of healing and heartbreak, of choosing yourself and choosing someone else, of learning how to breathe again after everything falls apart. Walk with Lara and Jaden as they navigate loss, resilience, and the fragile beauty of starting over.

He didn't go missing. He stepped away. When Rohan disappears from an elite boarding school in the hills, the institution closes ranks. No questions. No blame. No story. But Siya can't accept the silence-especially when fragments of Rohan's thoughts begin surfacing in the wrong places. As pressure tightens and memories blur into longing, Siya is forced to confront a terrifying truth: some disappearances are deliberate-and loving someone doesn't mean being protected from their choices. The Quiet Vanishing is a slow-burn literary mystery about power, absence, and a love that leaves questions instead of answers.

Born a prince of the Azurefall Kingdom, Li Chen was blessed by the heavens. Top-grade spiritual roots. A legendary Sword Physique. Sword Intent at an age others could not even imagine. By nineteenth, he stood at the peak of his generation, a sword genius whose talent drew the attention of sects, empires, and ancient ruins long sealed by time. To the world, he was destined for greatness. But the cultivation world does not reward talent—it devours it. An immortal inheritance surfaced. A forbidden sword path was opened. And with it came a price no mortal kingdom could afford. This was not the story of his rise. It was the story of how everything was taken from him. When the Azurefall Kingdom was erased and blood washed the palace steps, Li Chen fell—his power shattered, his destiny severed. Yet fate was not finished.

Dared Home is a sweeping multi-generational saga that begins with a single act of kindness and unfolds into an epic tale of love, resilience, betrayal, and the heavy price of ambition. The story begins with Adams, a compassionate and eloquent man, who meets Mina, a beautiful young woman weeping outside a hospital where her sister is critically ill. Moved by her distress, Adams intervenes, covering the medical bills and offering his support. This chance encounter blossoms into a deep, passionate love. Despite early hesitations from Mina's family, they marry in a grand celebration, filled with hope and the promise of a beautiful future. Their early marriage is idyllic, blessed with the birth of their daughter, Trisha. But their world is shattered when Adams is involved in a severe car accident, loses his job, and a catastrophic flood destroys their home. Forced to move into his family's crowded house, tensions escalate. Mina's introverted nature is misunderstood as rudeness, and the constant friction strains their marriage to a breaking point, culminating in a moment of violence where Adams, overwhelmed, slaps her. In a desperate bid to save their love, they reconcile and secretly move into an apartment provided by Mina's mother, just in time for the birth of their second child, a son named Chosen. Adams's fortunes change when he lands a job as a Communication Manager at a prestigious company, Ais_$ Co. Limited, under the formidable CEO, Hajiya Dr. Aisha. His strategic brilliance propels him up the corporate ladder. He secures a monumental deal with an international client, Mr. Sharon, which launches his career into the stratosphere. However, at work, he catches the attention of Mariyam, the company secretary. Though Adams remains devoted to Mina, Mariyam's infatuation grows. Unbeknownst to Mina, a complex relationship develops, and Mariyam secretly becomes his second wife, bearing him three children. With the international deal as a springboard, Adams builds a global empire, Major Things Inc., becoming one of Africa's most influential entrepreneurs. Mina and their children become integral to the business, while Mariyam is quietly installed on the board of a subsidiary, MarAd Foods, wielding significant power behind the scenes. For years, Mina remains oblivious, believing Mariyam to be merely a loyal family friend. The narrative follows the next generation as they navigate the privileges and burdens of their legacy. Trisha grows into a fiercely intelligent and celebrated journalist and business analyst. She meets and eventually wins the heart of the brilliant but initially dismissive investor, Dr. Abdulazeez Sadiq, and together they become a power couple strengthening the empire. Chosen, groomed as the heir apparent, becomes a tech innovator but must navigate intense professional rivalries and personal challenges that threaten his inheritance and his heart. The carefully constructed facade of Adams's life begins to crumble as Mina's health declines and the truth about his double life inevitably surfaces. The revelation of Mariyam and her children explodes the family's foundation, unleashing a torrent of betrayal, fierce power struggles, and an emotional reckoning that forces everyone to choose sides. Dared Home is a grand, emotionally charged story that explores the intricate dynamics of family, the corrosive nature of secrets, and the enduring question of whether a legacy built on love and deception can ultimately survive its own success. It is a powerful portrait of an empire and the fragile human hearts that built it, now poised to tear it all down.

“Garp trained monsters. This one broke the rules.” Raifeng was reborn into the One Piece world and planned to live quietly. That plan ended the day he learned three things: his father is Monkey D.

Raifeng finishes adapting in half an hour. Beasts collapse. Training breaks. Even Garp starts questioning what he’s looking at. This isn’t a genius growth story. This is what happens when Garp meets a kid he can’t train. And the worst part? Raifeng hasn’t even started yet.

Two worlds. Two Narutos. One village that made the same mistake twice. In one world, Naruto Uzumaki grows up smiling through hatred, chasing recognition, and believing in the Will of Fire. In another, he doesn’t. Watched by a mysterious comparison system, the shinobi world witnesses two versions of the same child— one who endures in ignorance, and one who awakens early, observes silently, and learns the truth far too soon. This Naruto doesn’t cry for acceptance. He questions kindness, tests malice, and understands that ideals are often used as chains. As Kage, legends, and entire villages react in real time, buried secrets surface— about Konoha, about the Hokage, and about what the Will of Fire truly demands. When survival replaces faith, when warmth comes from strangers rather than a village, and when power is no longer tied to gratitude— the world must face an uncomfortable question: If the Will of Fire was truly righteous… why did it need so many lies to protect it?

From a childhood marked by suffering, through the struggles of growing up, and finally achieving success in life, he had endured it all. One day, he decided it was time to rest—time to settle down, marry, have children, and train them to carry on his legacy. But fate had other plans. Reality was cruel. On his way to his wedding, his life was abruptly cut short. A sniper's bullet pierced his heart, killing him instantly in his car. Yet, in a twist of cosmic irony, his soul was extracted before it could pass on. In a half-conscious, half-unconscious state, his soul traveled millions of light years across the universe. He witnessed stars and galaxies, memories that weren’t his own, and a recurring nightmare that would haunt him for eternity. When he awoke, it felt as though he had emerged from an eternal slumber. To his shock, he was no longer in his old world. Instead, he found himself in the body of his ten-year-old self, having transmigrated to a completely different world—a world of darkness and despair. This new world was a place where sadness and bloodshed reigned supreme. The strong oppressed the weak, crushing them like insects. Here, money held no value without power. It was a brutal, unforgiving realm where survival was the only law. Zilon, as he now called himself, would have to cling to anything—anything at all—just to stay alive. But survival was only the beginning. Zilon, who had started from the very bottom, would have to claw his way to the top. He would face life and death, sweetness and sorrow, and ultimately, he would confront the true disaster of the universe: the Demon God. Yet, the demons were not his only concern. Otherworldly creatures known as Chaos Creatures emerged periodically through a rift called the Chaos Gate. These beings possessed the power to annihilate entire universes if left unchecked. Despite these overwhelming odds, Zilon’s ambition burned brighter than ever. He vowed to become the strongest being in the entire multiverse. He wanted his name to strike terror into the hearts and minds of all who heard it. Not dragons, vampires, werewolves, elves, beastkins, demons, giants, or titans—nothing would be worthy of being called his enemy. But would these be his only adversaries? Or would greater challenges lie ahead? ...... **NOTE 1:** If you’re wondering whether this book is a mistake, rest assured—it’s not. If you want to dive straight into the main story, start reading from Chapter 17 or 18 (subtitled *Zilon*). However, I highly recommend reading Chapters 1 to 16 first, as they provide crucial backstory and context. To clarify, Chapter 19 (which is Chapter 17 in the main storyline) is where the main narrative truly begins! **NOTE 2:** No matter what, do not—under any circumstances—compare the contents of this book to the real world. This is a work of pure fantasy. While some elements may coincidentally align with reality, they are entirely fictional and not intended to reflect real-world events or ideologies.
