Legacy of Fear

In 1832, in the remote village of Nougrihi near the ancient ruins of Mahishnati, the Yoro clan lives under the iron grip of centuries-old traditions. Superstition is law: rigid caste divisions, omens that dictate every decision, whispers of black magic, and ritual human sacrifices offered in secret groves to “appease the earth” and prevent famine. Fear is the true currency—fear of the gods, fear of the elders, fear of change. On a moonlit night, a boy named Kunal is born into this world. From the moment his piercing eyes open, the villagers sense something different. They whisper that this child will change everything. What they don’t know is that the prophecy is self-fulfilling—not because of destiny, but because Kunal’s mind refuses to accept the lies they live by. As a boy, Kunal watches the rituals in silence, memorizing every detail, every contradiction. The sacrifices never truly stop the droughts. The caste rules never bring justice. The fear never ends. His genius awakens early: an exceptional intellect that sees patterns, questions authority, and refuses to bow. Years later, as a young man, Kunal marries Siya—a woman as sharp and beautiful as she is loyal. Together they live in the shadow of the clan’s traditions, but Kunal’s mind is already working. He begins to study the world beyond the village: colonial engineers building canals and roads, magistrates investigating ritual killings, the slow spread of logic against superstition. He teaches himself engineering and detective methods—how to design irrigation systems that make sacrifices unnecessary, how to investigate “omens” and prove they are manipulations or coincidences. But every step he takes threatens the clan’s fragile order. Elders see him as dangerous. Lower-caste families see him as hope. Some accuse him of black magic. Others quietly follow him. Paranoia spreads like wildfire: villagers start doubting their own memories, questioning rituals they once accepted without thought, watching each other with suspicion. Kunal wants only one thing: a normal life with Siya, free from fear. Yet the deeper he digs into the clan’s “legacy,” the more he realizes it is not a curse from the gods—it is a cycle of collective trauma, guilt, and control. Breaking it means confronting the elders, exposing the lies, and risking everything: his family, his safety, his sanity. As the clan begins to fracture, Kunal must decide how far he is willing to go. Every revelation brings more danger. Every ally brings more betrayal. And every truth he uncovers forces him to look deeper into his own mind—because the greatest fear may not be the clan’s traditions… it may be what he himself becomes in the fight to destroy them. In Legacy of Fear, intellect becomes a weapon, doubt becomes a virus, and one man’s refusal to stay silent threatens to unravel an entire world built on lies. A gripping psychological thriller about genius, guilt, tradition, and the terrifying cost of truth.

Reborn as Stephen Cooper

When an ordinary soul awakens in the body of Stephen Eli Cooper, the younger brother of Georgie Cooper and the older brother to the twins Sheldon and Missy, he inherits far more than a new life, he inherits a destiny. Stephen is brilliant. Unreasonably brilliant. A mind operating at IQ 267, with perfect recall, superhuman physical potential, and a future tangled with people and worlds far beyond Texas. But this isn’t a power fantasy. His new life comes with responsibilities, attachments, and paths that branch into danger the original timeline never touched. From navigating the chaos of the Cooper family… …to rising as a mathematical and computational prodigy at UT Austin and MIT… …to stepping into the shadows of intelligence agencies, where data becomes a weapon… Stephen builds a life defined by choice, not fate. Along the way, he forms unbreakable bonds— with Paige, whose genius matches his own; with Rosa, a future operative whose strength hides deep wounds; with mentors and rivals across academia, federal agencies, and the secretive organization known only as Project AEGIS. But brilliance comes with consequences. Every action Stephen takes shifts the timeline further away from canon— and soon he finds himself at the center of a silent war fought in algorithms, intelligence networks, and human lives. As threats rise and worlds intersect, Stephen must decide: Is he simply living a borrowed life? Or is he forging something entirely new? A story of genius, growth, family, love, and the quiet heroism of a man who refuses to waste the second chance he never asked for. I want to add this story is written using AI I write the overview for the chapter/ do the research but AI writes the chapters. I make changes and edit it some may not like it and that is fine I use the story as a way to help put my ideals in the world.

Eclipse of the WorldTree

Death was supposed to be the end. For Kael Noctyrr, it was only the beginning. Awakening in a world ruled by cultivation, magic, and ancient bloodlines, Kael carries fractured memories of another life—and an artifact that should not exist: the Eclipse Core, a relic born before light learned to oppose darkness. It grants him impossible power… at a cost the world itself seems eager to collect. Hunted as a heretic, feared as an abomination, Kael walks a path no one else dares tread—one that binds life to death, creation to annihilation. Each step forward draws him deeper into forbidden truths: the undead were once saviors, the gods are not eternal, and the World Tree—the axis of all realms—is dying. As empires rise and fall, Kael becomes both conqueror and guardian. He forges alliances that blur into love, love that sharpens into strategy, and strategy that demands sacrifice. Elves whisper his name in hatred. Dragons sense a coming eclipse. Demons kneel—or burn. And the heavens begin to watch. Yet the greatest mystery lies not in the world he is reshaping, but in himself. Why was he chosen? Why does the Eclipse Core respond to his soul? And why do the oldest beings call him a mistake? When gods fall and worlds tremble, Kael will uncover a truth buried beyond time itself—one that reveals he is neither hero nor villain, but the final variable in a cycle that has repeated since the birth of existence. In the end, only one question remains: When light and darkness are both consumed… what will remain of the world—and of the man who eclipsed it?

The General's Daughter: The Mission

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact

Kailen Darkhaven had a simple, happy life growing up. But when a sudden misfortune claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength. He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar( with advanced technology) #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse #Mythical creatures( elves, vampires, witches, dwarves etc) #IntelligentMC(High IQ, deductive , strategic, high functioning psychopath) Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

The Spoilt Beauty And Her Beasts

Isabella was supposed to be sipping champagne at a luxury spa, not waking up in the middle of a forest. Worse, a SYSTEM had attached itself to her like some clingy ex, spouting nonsense about survival, quests, and—oh, hell no—manual labor. "System, I was NOT built for the wilderness! My ideal ‘roughing it’ experience involves a five-star hotel with bad WiFi!" Now, instead of lounging in silk robes, she’s being ordered to farm? To hunt? "A farming quest? You want me—a city girl—to grow food? System, I once killed a cactus by overwatering it. This is NOT my calling!" And don’t even get her started on the hygiene situation. "You want me to bathe in a cold river? Darling, I require warm water, scented oils, and an ambience! What do I look like—some barbarian?!" Unfortunately, the locals—big, muscular beastmen—don’t seem to understand the concept of self-care. The women? Neglecting their skin like it’s a crime to be radiant. The men? Walking hygiene disasters. "Ladies, if your man can smell you before he sees you, we have a problem." "You see this? This is lotion. It exists so you don’t look like a dried-up leaf. Use it." "A beard should be majestic, not tragic. Let me fix it." And the beastmen? They don’t just stare at her like she’s an oddity. No, they hover. They smirk. They lean in too close, fangs flashing with amusement. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" she huffed, crossing her arms. The panther grinned, his tail flicking. "Because you’re fascinating when you’re annoyed." No, absolutely not. She was not here for this nonsense. "If you have time to stare, you have time to moisturize." She didn’t ask to be here. She didn’t ask to be their savior. But if she has to suffer through this world, she’s making everyone around her suffer less—through skincare, style, and some serious attitude. "If I hear one more ‘We don’t season our food here,’ I’m launching a war." "If you have time to gossip, you have time to do squats." "You want to impress a woman? Start with not smelling like the battlefield." Survival isn’t just about fighting monsters; it’s about looking good while doing it. So what if the System keeps throwing impossible quests her way? "What do you mean ‘you can’t skip quests’?! Since when?! Where is the skip button?! I demand a skip button!" But somewhere between dodging ridiculous quests and fixing these people’s tragic grooming habits, Isabella found herself in situations. Uncomfortable, heart-racing situations. Like being trapped against a tree by the red python, his red eyes half-lidded as he murmured, "You talk too much, little star. Should I silence you?" Like waking up with the lion lord’s fur-lined cloak draped over her shoulders, his deep voice gruff, "You shiver in your sleep. I’ll fix that." Like the phoenix watching her every move, his burning gaze searing into her skin as he mused, "You cause chaos wherever you go, but I find that I don’t mind." Oh, hell. No. She was not about to fall for four beastmen. She was too pretty for this much stress. "If you insult me again, I’ll make sure your soul needs a beauty upgrade." "I refuse to be disrespected by anyone who dresses like an unwashed tree branch." And yet, when a rival tribe came to challenge her, when danger lurked too close, those same beastmen stood beside her—smirking, taunting, fighting for her. "A beastman growled at me today. I growled back. He ran. I am the alpha now." Isabella isn’t just surviving. She’s thriving. And this world better keep up.
