Bloodied Knuckles

Cray Creed was supposed to be a champion. Trained by the legendary Master Chen and blessed with natural talent, he fought his way to the semi-finals of the national circuit before everything collapsed. A devastating loss, followed by false accusations of throwing fights, destroyed his reputation and left him banned from professional competition. Eight years after leaving Henderson Falls as a rising star, he returns as a cautionary tale—broke, broken, and with nowhere else to go. But Henderson Falls has changed. Master Chen's traditional dojo is dying, losing students to Iron Wolf MMA, a slick commercial gym run by the ruthless Viktor Draven, who promises modern techniques and guaranteed results. Meanwhile, Phoenix Hart operates The Crossing, an underground warehouse gym for fighters who don't fit anywhere else. And hidden in the shadows is the Crimthos dojo, teaching a comprehensive martial art containing four hundred techniques and accepting only students who've been broken by life. As Cray struggles to find his place in this divided landscape, he begins training Dante, a thirteen-year-old kid from a rough background who sees fighting as his only path forward. The relationship forces Cray to confront whether he has anything left to teach, or whether he's just another failed fighter corrupting the next generation. When three young Crimthos prodigies emerge—two girls and a boy, all thirteen, all masters of techniques that shouldn't be possible at their age—the tensions between Henderson Falls's martial arts communities explode into open conflict. Viktor sees them as threats to his dominance. Chen views them as proof that modern methods have abandoned discipline for results. Phoenix recognizes them as kindred spirits. And Cray realizes they represent everything he could have been if he'd chosen differently. As underground fights escalate, old grudges resurface, and the line between sport and violence dissolves, Cray must decide: Will he fade into obscurity, become Viktor's promotional tool, embrace Phoenix's chaos, return to Chen's rigid traditions, or follow the brutal path of Crimthos? The choice will determine not just his future, but the fate of every fighter in Henderson Falls—including the kids who are watching and learning that sometimes the most important battles happen outside the ring. Bloodied Knuckles is an ensemble martial arts epic exploring redemption, rivalry, mentorship, and the question of what fighting truly means when honor, survival, and identity collide in a town too small to contain its warriors.

Project 1948: The Jinnah Divergence

"History says nations are built on speeches and slogans. History is wrong." "Nations are built on plumbing, supply chains, and systems." Bilal, a cynical game developer from 2024, knows exactly how the “game” of British India ends—with the fire and blood of 1947. When he wakes up inside the mind of Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Father of The Nation) in 1930, he realizes that following the historical script is a death sentence for millions. The Quaid-e-Azam (Father of The Nation) of the textbooks—the distant, immaculate lawyer—needs a patch. Forming an unlikely partnership, the modern systems thinker and the Edwardian barrister abandon the politics of London and Delhi. Instead, they retreat to the forgotten backwaters of Montgomery to attempt something dangerous: Project Sandalbar. Their goal is not rebellion—but construction. To build a functioning prototype state inside the belly of the British Empire. Armed with modern knowledge of logistics, communication networks, and resource management—wielded through Jinnah’s razor-sharp legal mind—they begin engineering a sanctuary against the coming storm. The Mission: Turn a dust-bowl estate into a self-sustaining fortress. The Tools: Sanitation protocols, radio networks, cooperative economics, and a militia disguised as farm guards. The Obstacles: Feudal lords, imperial suspicion, religious extremism, and the ticking clock of history. They are not fighting for independence. They are building a lifeboat. Can a game developer and a lawyer “mod” the operating system of the Raj before the server crashes?

CROWN ME THEIRS: THE HEIRESS'S REVENGE REIGN

Brielle Saintclair was raised to be perfect. The jewel of the SaintClair dynasty. The beloved princess of four powerful families bound by blood and business. Her entire life pointed toward one destiny: marry one of her three childhood best friends and unite their empires forever. She loved them—Thane, Cassian, Dorian. Her protectors. Her confidants. The men who made her laugh, held her when she cried, promised she'd always be theirs. Until the night before her 25th birthday gala, when she overheard the truth hidden behind garden hedges: "Marry her? I'd rather hand my empire to strangers." "She's not the one I want. She could never be." "I'd rather die than be trapped with someone I've never even desired." Three voices. Three rejections. Three shattering revelations that the love she felt was completely one-sided. Heartbroken and humiliated, Brielle does the only thing that makes sense—she vanishes. New name. New country. New life where no one knows she's the SaintClair heiress who ran from her own engagement party. But what she doesn't know is that each man said those words to hide his true feelings. Each believed he was protecting her from obligation. Each thought the others didn't want her. And each is desperately, violently in love with her. When they discover she's gone, three ruthless heirs tear the world apart searching. When they find her transformed—powerful, cold, looking at them like strangers—they realize the devastating truth: their lies didn't protect her. They destroyed her. Now begins the real battle. Three men competing to prove their love is real. One woman who refuses to be anyone's consolation prize. And a revenge plot that will burn their families' empires to ash. She ran from their rejection. Now they'll crawl through hell to earn her back.

Monarch of Darkness System

Damian didn't escape the end of his world. He survived it. Reborn into the gilded cage of House Snow—a minor noble family on a backwater planet where magic is systematized and affinities are graded from F to SSS—he awakens with a shattered soul and the whispers of a forbidden power: the Monarch of Darkness System. In this world, he is Damian Snow, an unawakened, disappointing third son. But within him resides the cruel, calculating mind of a man who watched a planet die, fueled by a singular vow: to heal his soul, reclaim the devastating shadow affinity locked within it, and find the scattered companions who made his survival possible. Yet, his new home is no sanctuary. His stepmother's smile is as cold as her hidden magic, which reeks of necrotic light and a terrible secret tied to his mother's tomb. A world-spanning cult, the Shadow Vatican, moves in the shadows, perverting sacred light to craft an undead empire. Demons seep through rifts from dying worlds, and ancient powers slumber beneath the soil. Armed only with a child's body, a broken soul, and a System that brands him an unregistered anomaly, Damian must navigate a deadly game. He will manipulate arrogant heirs, unearth cursed relics hidden in filth, and trade bone-breaking pain for slivers of power. He will learn that to conquer the darkness without, he must first embrace the darkness within. This is the story of a Monarch's ascent from the ashes. It is a tale of ruthless action, bloody vengeance, twisted romance, and the faint, stubborn light of loyalty that refuses to be extinguished—even in the cruelest of hearts.

Due to how impetuous cultivators were, the cases never stopped. "Yi Jie, what do we have today?" "Two cultivators at the palace realm fought over a treasure and destroyed half of the territory of the blue deer kingdom in their fight, A rogue cultivator is suing the owner of the falling meteor blacksmith shop for selling him a faulty saber that keeps attracting lightning tribulations.
