Gilded Ashes

"You will suffice." That's what whispered in Raizen's mind the night a Nyx slaughtered his village - right before the creature dissolved into golden ash at his feet. He doesn't know what spoke. He doesn't know why it chose him, or why it led him to an unconscious girl in the forest with no memory of who she is. All he knows is his parents are dead, his home is gone, and he's too weak to do anything about it. So he runs to the only place that'll take him: the Underworks. An underground city of rust and desperate souls living below Neoshima's gleaming walls, where Nyx hunters - Gravers - buy chipped weapons with their last coins and drag themselves back from contracts with missing limbs. Where a few come back and most disappear in the dark alleys. But Takeshi - a scarred veteran and legendary assassin with a mechanical arm and a wall full of mysteries - takes him in. Gives him a roof. Gives him a chance. Introduces him to the Rust Room, where a former Phalanx warrior named Kori teaches him the deadliest of weapons are nothing without the deadliest of techniques. Then Takeshi gives him a choice: stay in the Underworks and become another Graver with a death wish, or aim higher. Train for the Lotus Academy - where Vanguards learn to master Eon, the mysterious force that turns ordinary fighters into the only ones who can truly fight nightmares and live to see more. But the voice that saved him hasn't spoken since that night. And Raizen's starting to realize - it's still watching.

I swore I was just helping raise our daughter

They were never lovers. Never promised each other anything beyond the shared responsibility of raising the most powerful, chaotic child the realms had ever seen. Lara, the infamous ex-commander with fire in her veins and mischief in her smile, walked away from war, titles, and politics—only to find herself tangled in a life she never expected. A life where she’s not the hero, not the villain, just the co-parent to a half-demon, half-Celestial whirlwind named Aliyah… and tethered, every single day, to the woman who both grounds her and keeps her at a distance. Sarisa, heir to the Celestial throne, is everything Lara is not—elegant, disciplined, devoted to duty. Once playful and soft, Sarisa has reshaped herself into something unshakable, a future queen too burdened to risk vulnerability. Especially when the court whispers that her daughter is an abomination. Especially when her mother has chosen a future and a spouse that doesn’t include Lara. They said they could raise Aliyah together. That it would be simple. No feelings. No future. Just two women bound by responsibility. But Aliyah is growing. Watching. Asking questions no child should ask with such clarity. And Lara is running out of ways to lie to herself. Because somewhere between sword lessons and bedtime stories, between stolen glances and unsaid words, Lara might have done the one thing she swore she wouldn’t. She might have fallen in love with the woman who was never meant to be hers. And Sarisa? She might already be breaking under the weight of pretending she doesn’t feel the same.

The Eternal Raga of Rangoli

In a world where sound is power and silence is control, the land of Rangoli begins to fade under the rule of Naayak, a tyrant who feeds on fear, erased memories, and muted emotions. Long ago, Rangoli thrived on a living melody—an ancient raga woven from courage, love, memory, and unity. When that song was broken, the world fractured, and hope went quiet. The story begins with scattered individuals—warriors, poets, tacticians, healers, seers, spies, and dreamers—each carrying a fragment of the lost song. Kutty’s innocent hum, Kannadasan’s words, Lakshmi and Kanakam’s guidance of fate, and Love’s emotional resonance awaken a forgotten power. As these voices begin to align, Rangoli itself responds, slowly remembering what it once was. Across forests, frozen citadels, shadowed cities, and ruined kingdoms, heroes rise: Ramana, the master strategist, unites divided forces. Veera, the storm-born warrior, strikes fear into darkness. Meenakumari and Govinda balance ice and fire. Charusheela, Chitti, Deepali, and Dora fight a silent war of intelligence and deception. Divya, Bhavri, Madhu, Angel, and Baby weave alliances and magical pacts. Karikalan, Naina, Nakul, and Maya ensure the past is never forgotten. Alongside them walk ancient guardians—a gold-striped tiger and a celestial dragon, embodiments of Rangoli’s primal spirit. As rebellion spreads, battles intensify, and alliances form, Rangoli’s song grows stronger—transforming fear into courage, isolation into unity, and chaos into harmony. When Naayak launches his ultimate assault to erase the song forever, every hero must stand together in a final symphony of magic, emotion, and sacrifice. In the climactic confrontation, Rangoli’s raga reaches its peak. Silence shatters. Darkness dissolves. Naayak falls—not through brute force alone, but through the unbreakable unity of many voices becoming one. The Eternal Raga of Rangoli is an epic fantasy about collective heroism, where no single savior exists—only people who choose to stand together. It is a story of memory, courage, love, and the truth that a world can be saved when every voice matters.

I Became the Bully Extra in a Novel I Hate

Arthur spent two years leaving brutal reviews on a webnovel he couldn’t stop reading. He hated it. He also read over two thousand chapters of it. That should tell you everything about him. When the author finally drops the story, Arthur doesn’t take it well. Words are exchanged. Things get personal. And the last message the author sends him is a dare. You think you know better? Go fix it yourself Then Arthur wakes up on the floor of a cafeteria with someone else’s blood on his knuckles. He’s inside Reckoning of the Mages. The novel he spent years tearing apart. And he’s not the main character, not a sage mentor, not even a decent side character with a real arc. He’s Vexis Lestilaut. The bully extra. The one who exists in the background of maybe a dozen scenes just to make the hero look good. The one who turns up dead before the first arc ends. He has two weeks. No idea who kills him. The original author never bothered to name the killer because Vexis was never important enough to matter. Arthur had skimmed those scenes. Called it lazy writing in a comment thread and moved on. He’s not moving on anymore. The story has already changed. He just doesn’t know if that’s going to save him or get him killed faster.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ PS: I don’t write ai. Or heavily use ai for the plot or brainstorming. everything you will read in this book is written by a human. with human mind. though I use ai for quotations fixing and minor editing to reduce workload and save time.
