Binary Reflections

Eli has lived his whole life in Port Virel, a small coastal town where most things stay the same year after year. The streets are familiar, the school is the same one everyone’s parents went to, and most days move at the same steady pace. It is the kind of place where nothing strange is supposed to happen. For most of his life Eli never expected it would. Over the past year, though, something about his life has started to feel slightly off. He catches himself zoning out in the middle of class and realizing minutes have passed without him noticing. Sometimes he stares at something and gets the strange feeling that the world shifted a little while he wasn’t paying attention. Not in an obvious way, just enough to leave him unsettled afterward. It is the kind of thing that is easy to brush off as stress or lack of sleep, so that is exactly what he tries to do. That explanation stops working after one morning in Port Virel forces him to accept that some things in the world don’t follow the rules he thought they did. Soon after, Eli is taken to Aurelion, the capital city, by a man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Compared to Port Virel, the city feels enormous. Glass towers rise behind older stone buildings, highways stack across the skyline, and the entire place moves with a pace Eli has never experienced before. At first it just feels like the normal difference between a quiet town and a capital city. The longer he stays there, though, the more he begins to realize that parts of the city operate under rules most people never notice. There are people in the world known as carriers. They are born with rare paired abilities called binaries, and those abilities follow their own strange logic. Most of the public has no idea carriers exist. For generations certain organizations have quietly located them, trained them, and kept their existence hidden so the rest of the world never has to deal with the consequences. Alongside carriers there are also things called shades. Even the people who study them struggle to fully explain what they are. They are tied to the same strange structure of reality that carriers interact with, and when they appear they can become extremely dangerous. Encounters with them are rare for ordinary people, mostly because the groups responsible for dealing with them work hard to make sure the public never sees what is actually happening. Eli enters this hidden system with almost no understanding of it. The people around him already know the rules and treat them like common sense. He is still trying to figure out why he was brought into it at all. The more he learns, the more it becomes clear that the world surrounding carriers and shades has been operating quietly for a long time, shaped by history most people have never heard about. Binary Reflections follows Eli as he tries to make sense of this reality while still holding on to the life he thought he understood. What begins as confusion slowly turns into something larger. A hidden system built on secrecy, dangerous abilities that few people truly understand, and a past that may be more connected to him than anyone is willing to explain.

HUNTED BY VOID AND SAINTS

[The war between light and shadow is over. Shadow won.] A queen who never sleeps hunts her daughter. A cannibal who carries her child's strength inside her, atoning for sins not hers alone to bear. A devil offers a kingdom to a girl who has nothing, and asks nothing in return. From the moment Rya was born, the Void has been staring at her. Patiently waiting for the right moment. They want her dead, but they never moved. Why? Because her mother is Nyxelene, the only woman strong enough to rule one of the three great kingdoms in a world owned by men. The rumours about what Nyxelene could do were already enough to make most monsters choke on their ambitions. But that’s not the real reason the Void only watches. A child has two parents. Half of Rya’s blood belongs to a name that makes even the things without mouths shut up and crawl back into the dark. For that same reason, the light had its gaze on her too, but neither side dares make any moves. However, nothing stays safe forever. Now Nyxelene herself is hunting the daughter she never wanted, and only she knows why. A princess who can’t ride a horse, can’t swing a sword, is suddenly the most wanted person in Runevale. In her blind panic she crashes into a woman with perfect skin and the gentlest smile you’ll ever see. This woman eats her enemies alive and spits out the bones. That said, even she was not enough to protect her from Nyxelene. In her zero hour, the devil made an entrance with his hand outstretched and a bright smile on his face. He offers Rya his hand. He offers her one of the three great kingdoms. He offers her himself. Question is: Why in the seven hells would the Devil protect a helpless prey when he could just drag her soul to hell and call it a day? Now, the most watched girl in the two realms just became the devil's problem. Your move, Void and light.

The Author's Promise: 100 Battles To Return Home

Garima wrote the story. Survival is what matters most to her now. A bookish nerd from today's Mumbai loves spicy snacks, stories, and staying awake past midnight. Suddenly, her eyes open in a place born from her own imagination. A world where kingdoms rise and fall. Where Devil Lords will one day plunge the continent into chaos. And where everyone believes she is the Saintess chosen by the Goddess. Home has just a single path leading back to it. Garima leads fighters across a century of fights, one clash after another shaping the fate of everything. Easy... right? Truth stays clear only to Garima She wrote this world. Who stands beside them now might turn away later. What fights are headed for collapse. Armed with nothing but chaotic confidence, terrible singing, random Hindi slang that people mistake for "divine language," and the terrifying knowledge of the future, Garima begins rewriting fate itself. A loose rhythm carries her forward, voice cracking on syllables meant for gods, words slurring into decisions that bend time without warning. It's improvisation under pressure. Lines blur between guesses and truth when she speaks. The timeline stumbles, then follows her lead. Not because it should. Because there's no one else loud enough to try. Yet rewriting the tale demands something in return. If Garima slips A lie born from good intent could unravel everything she fights to protect. One hundred battles. One promise. A saintess steps off the page, her voice unscripted. She moves without permission, lines forgotten. Her silence speaks louder than vows ever could. Pages flutter to the floor, untouched by doctrine. What remains is motion, quiet and unplanned.
