Petals of Timelessness: Cycles of Balance

Cycles of Balance: Price of Equilibrium (A story from the Petals of Timelessness multiverse) Once a cosmic architect of balance — a will beyond flesh and gender — now bound in a mortal shell with only a fragment of its power. A philosophical dark fantasy of choices and sacrifice, centered on the slow-burn tension of an impossible metaphysical connection between this cosmic architect and a mortal woman —one bound by logic, the other the anomaly who may be its undoing. The story begins at the Academy of Duality — ground zero for the reality-breaking anomaly OD must fix: an impossible love born when one soul was wished into this world from another. Here, as in all of Valtheim, rivalries, hidden cults, and fragile alliances test the limits of logic and control. Yet the Academy is only the beginning. In Price of Equilibrium, Arta Nox turns her focus from the external anomaly to her internal one: her "Unique Variable," Catherine Holu. Impartial analysis grows ever more difficult as the web of events tightens—threatening not only Illumora, but the Architect’s own perfect structure. A dark, reflective fantasy about the cost of order, the fragility of perfection, and the dangerous question of whether balance can ever truly exist.

Supreme Parasite

This is a story of a strange entity. An entity, which by all accounts, should not exist in this world. And yet, it does. When this entity attempts to latch on to you, you better pray that your mind is strong enough to resist. If it succeeds, you must fight with everything your soul has to offer. But it will not fight you head on. It will trick you. And once you give in, it will infest you! At that point... it is already too late. You are at its mercy, even if you do not realize it. Your thoughts? They will naturally align with its goals. Your appearance? The entity will put it to good use. Your power? In service of the entity! Your identity? You don't have one anymore. Your life? Hahaha. You are a mere pawn, to be discarded once you've served your purpose. This entity is a Parasite. But not just any parasite. It is one-of-a-kind. Unique! Its unconventional methods are nigh impossible to resist. Its origin is shrouded in mystery. Its future is impossible to predict. You would do well to remember. The entity isn't just any parasite. It is a SUPREME PARASITE! ---------------------- Author here, let me set aside my dramatic hat for a bit and give you a more grounded synopsis of what to expect. First and foremost, this is not a story about fighting a powerful parasite. The main character IS the parasite. The story takes place in an alternate earth. Magic suddenly appeared one day and devastating changes took place all over the planet. The start of the story is AFTER humanity re-established civilization. So, this isn't exactly an apocalypse story. Magic (Magicians, spell casting etc...) is the main and only system of power. Personally, I think I've fleshed it out quite nicely but I'd like you, the reader, to be the judge of that. As a parasite, the MC will end up moving from one host to another throughout the course of the novel. These hosts and other side characters will be connected to each other in various interesting ways :) MC's self-awareness will be a bit low at the start. But it won't take too long for him to become fully aware of his true nature. With that, I think I've said enough. Give the story a read to know more ;)

Asura: The Hunter

This is a story about Arjun Jadhav, a broke engineering student who rides his father’s fading red Splendor with one thought only: earn enough to keep his dad breathing. A lonely summer job guarding a forgotten godown seems like the answer, until he breaks open Shutter 81 and falls two floors into a vault sealed since the old India still bled from Partition. Inside waits a forbidden armoury: thousands of glass prisons holding curses that whisper and claw, walls covered with photographs of impossible kills, and the diaries of Vikramaditya Shinde, a hunter of the old blood, one of the last men who walked the night with silver and fire to keep the country’s darkest hungers asleep. Arjun thinks he can lock the door and forget. He can’t. The instant he flees, the vault roars awake. Lights flare after half a century. Dust howls into hidden vents. And in the centre rises the spirit of the old hunter himself, tall, scarred, eyes like burning ghee, staring straight at the boy who just inherited a war older than the tricolour. From a village kid who measured life in dialysis bills, Arjun is about to be forged into the deadliest thing the night has ever feared: the new bearer of a legacy that never truly died. A creaking Splendor, a kirpan that chooses its master, and a country that still needs monsters killed in the dark; this is the rise of the hunter the old blood has been waiting for. Some doors don’t open for you. They open the future. Step through… if you’re ready to watch a desperate boy become the greatest shadow India never knew it had.
