A Note from the Author This story is a heartfelt tribute born out of reverence, imagination, and deep love for the timeless epic, the Mahabharata. It is not intended to harm or disrespect any tradition, belief, or cultural sentiment. I hold every character of this sacred epic in the highest regard, especially Draupadi, whom I deeply admire and spiritually revere. What you are about to read is not a retelling, but a "What if"-a reimagination woven from a place of devotion and curiosity. A world where roles shift, choices change, and destinies take new forms, but the soul of the story remains centered in Dharma, honor, and love. This universe is an extension of my admiration for Draupadi, placing her not in the shadows of fate but at the center of it-where her voice is heard, her choices are honored, and her journey reclaims power. This is not history, nor scripture-but a work of fiction inspired by mythology, shaped by emotion, and offered in respect. Enter this world with an open heart and see not just the characters you know, but what they could have been, in another life, another time, another turn of destiny. With love and respect, Mione

Duryodhan The first thing that comes into our minds Is that he is cruel, arrogant and egoistic But he isn't like that at all It was all Shakuni's influence He just needed someone to bring him out of that or maybe a better guidance..... What if that someone was Aadya??? Aadya was no-one special She was just a commoner Earning her own money and lving peacefully But then she entered the new era.... The era when the greatest war between dharma and adharma was fought.. The era of Mahabharat.... She was Krishnaanuja.... One chance meet Changed everything Duryodhan gains a new perspective Aadya discovers another person in him Will she help him??? Bring out his real face???? Will she be able to become the Dharmaa of Mahabharat's Devil???? Will she able to make everyone aware of his good side????? Join her on her this journey.....

a story where the supreme lord and lady decides to change the entire epic peep to know more about it

An average person gets the chance to reincarnate as a tragic hero. Can he change his fate with his foreknowledge or will he meet the same fate? This is just a wishful fantasy and is no way intended to hurt anybody's feelings. I don't own any characters used here. Please do review, I appreciate your feedback. Share your thoughts in the comment section.

In a twist of fate, the destinies of Karna, Arjuna, and Suyodhan intertwine on the 17th day after the death of Karna, as their memories are transported to their minds when they are at the pivotal stages of their lives. Karna, the anti-hero with an unwavering sense of loyalty; Arjuna, the skilled archer and arguably the hero of the epic filled with wrath due to suffering inflicted on them by his relatives; and Suyodhan, the antagonist whose choices led to the death of all whom he held dear, find themselves reliving their lives from a pivotal point. One of them swore off the war to protect his brothers, another swore to destroy any seeds of war and the third was left confused when there was no target to point his bow at. This is a bit controversial fic. But please give this a try.

Advika, 25, recently retired from her perilous career as a spy for the Indian government. She's faced trauma that most couldn't bear in a lifetime. Now, all she craves is the one thing her life lacked-normalcy. A quiet, boring life free from the shadows of her past. But she'd never admit it, even to herself. To desire simplicity feels like weakness. Yet, deep down, that's all she wants-something real, something safe. Karna, born a suta but kshatriya by heart, is a man who defied everything society forced upon him. Humiliated, cursed, and denied his rightful place, all he ever longed for was to learn weaponry-archery, his true calling. Though denied by every royal and guru, he carved his own path, mastering the art despite them all. Now, he seeks the respect and glory he's been denied, determined to claim his place in Hastinapur, the very kingdom that rejected him. He's no longer just a man-he's an enigma, a force of sheer will. But what happens when Karna, through mysterious forces, arrives in Advika's house? In a clash of instinct and fear, she attacks first, questions later. Their worlds, separated by centuries and desires, suddenly collide. One seeking peace, the other seeking glory. Both wanting the impossible. Advika wanted a simple life after the storms of her past. But maybe it was too much to ask. Karna wanted respect and honor in the land that spurned him. But maybe that, too, was too much to ask. Though their lives are worlds apart, something powerful connects them, pulling them into a moment neither can explain. Two souls, bound by destiny, stand before each other in an era foreign to them both. And as they each seek what they desire most, one truth becomes clear-when the universe conspires to grant your deepest wishes, there's always a price. The question is: at what cost?

I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE OR THEIR SENTIMENT. I ADMIT THIS IS NOT MY ORIGINAL IDEA. I HAVE READ A STORY NAMED RIFT IN DESTINY AND WAS VERY FASCINATED BY IT. I AM TRYING TO WRITE THAT STORY WITH MY TWIST. ALL THE CREDIT TO THE IDEA GOES TO AUTHOR OF ABOVE SAID STORY. IF THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT PLEASE DO TELL ME IN DM AND I WILL DELETE THIS BUT I AM TOO FASCINATED BY STORY AND MY MIND WANDERS AROUND IT ONLY AND RECENTLY I COULDN'T FIND THAT STORY SO I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS.

"You... you are... here." His voice came out as he whispered, surprising me. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him, responding to him. I licked my lips as I spoke back to him, "Sorry. I don't get what you are saying." I tried to keep it simple. But just as his soft fingers caressed my cheeks like a feather gracing over them, his cold fingers felt so good at the top of my heated cheeks that my body melted at his touch. "Ahh," I gasped at his sudden closeness and touch. I found myself leaning into it. He slowly leaned in, and his hot breath grazed the tops of my lips as I yearned for them to touch mine. Something then I didn't realise would cause the destruction I witnessed through the screen. ___________________________________________________________________ What happens when the villain's heart is filled with one face, the face that has guided him all his life, loved him, and been with him? Bhalla was many things, but he was a lover to his Nandhini, the sole thing holding up his humanity, his anchor from the world, which never supported him. But the only thing is that she is not from his reality or even real. She only visits him in his dreams, and in that dream, he lived, loved, and cherished; for him, that is his reality. Suddenly, he disappeared, leaving him in darkness as he had to fend off his nights with dreamless sleep. Only for her to appear in his reality without knowing him and their connection. Will the villain go to any extreme to get her back to him? To make her love him and see things from his perspective. She is his Niyati. Bhalladeva x OC

The dream made him feel alive The dream which he went to sleep every other night The dream that made him fall in love The dream showed him his reality And finally, the dream is nothing but her. She is his as much as he is hers, He only cools down in her presence, whereas he heats hers. God made her for him, and the same god sent her to him. He knows her throughout his life, whereas she only knows him as others have described. Will the dream survive reality, or will it perish? Witness the story that tries to combine one's heart with one's heart to make a life out of it. ________________________________________________________________ Updates: Mon - Sat @ 6 PM IST unless mentioned otherwise
