There are men who succeed because they are ruthless. There are men who succeed because they are lucky. And then there is Aman Sharma, who succeeds in a way that nobody around him can fully explain - not his Chief of Staff, who has worked beside him for twenty years and still cannot predict his next move. Not the investigative journalist who spent two years tracing his empire back to a newspaper advertisement in June 2002 and found, at the end of it, a twenty-three-year-old woman and a classified ad. Not the government regulator who deploys every institutional weapon available and watches them fail one by one against the wall of twenty years of clean records. What Aman has is not luck. It is not ruthlessness. It is something quieter and stranger than either: a certainty about how things will unfold that he has never explained to anyone, and a system of rules - appearing to him as plain white text on the morning this story begins - that rewards him for losing money and offers no explanation for why. He builds from a single cyber cafe in Greater Kailash to a conglomerate that touches every major sector of the Indian economy. He does this without ever selling a share of his companies, without ever paying a bribe, without ever taking a partner, and without ever raising his voice in a boardroom. He gives his employees salaries above market rate, fires anyone who harms another employee on the first offence, and funds a charity whose name is not connected to his in any public record. His personal wealth grows in a separate silence that not even his closest associate knows about. He is not a good man performing for an audience. Nobody is watching. That is the point. Empire of Closed Eyes: The Capital Reversal Saga is a novel series built on a single question that will not be answered until its final pages: who is Aman Sharma, really - and where is he telling this story from?

He came from nothing. John grew up in the suffocating slums of Mathare, one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in Nairobi. No family. No friends. No opportunities. Just hunger, struggle, and the daily fight to survive. To stay alive, he becomes a street hawker in the chaotic streets of the CBD, selling cheap merchandise to passing strangers. Then one day, everything he owns is stolen. His goods. His savings. His last hope. Broken and desperate, John believes his life is over-until a group of mysterious strangers offer him another path. A darker path. They introduce him to the hidden world beneath the city. A ruthless underworld where power is taken, loyalty is rare, and the only rule is survival. John accepts. And the city will never be the same again. Soon banks are robbed. Luxury estates are targeted. Powerful organizations are shaken. The police are left chasing shadows as a new name spreads through the streets like wildfire. John. The most feared gangster Nairobi has ever known. But beneath the legend lies a secret rule: He never steals from the poor. Because once, he was one of them. In a city ruled by corruption, poverty, and power, one man rises from the slums to become a myth. And stopping him may be impossible.

Everyone in the village knows their names-Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke-the trio whispered about in classrooms, watched on training fields, and judged long before they ever had a chance to speak. To most, they are predictable: the loud outcast, the quiet prodigy, the last Uchiha. But beneath their familiar faces lies a truth the village pretends not to see. Naruto being in the world of ninja it doesn't want it seems. Sakura walks with a calm smile, hiding the shadow of a teacher whose experiments left marks no one can see. And Sasuke, haunted by a clan erased for reasons far darker than rebellion, feels something ancient stirring in his blood. Three students, three stories rewritten by lies-and the village has no idea how close its carefully built peace is to unraveling. In a place full of shinobi shenanigans and secrets, their lives are about to rewrite the Leaf's history forever. I'll do my best to make this story stand out from the rest. This is my third fanfiction, and I'm still learning-still growing-but I'm having fun, and that's what matters most. This story will explore new ideas and take familiar characters in different directions. New characters will be introduced. New places will be explored. New elements will unfold along the way. There will be similarities to the original series, but this universe will be its own thing-shaped by mystery, emotion, and a few twists you won't expect. 🔥 This story contains elements of fear and some violence. Nothing extreme, but enough to give the world a darker edge. There is no romance between three of them ! Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I enjoy creating it.

Pearl Windsor was soft, shy, and heartbreakingly pure. Frederick Rogers never meant to fall for her-because loving her was never the plan. It began as a cruel bet between friends, a game meant to break a naive girl's heart. But some games destroy more than hearts... and when truth comes too late, regret becomes a lifetime prison.

The fall and the fire.

"The stars." "What about them?" he asked, raising a perfect eyebrow, stepping closer. I took a step back with every step he took forward. "They're watching over us." He seemed to think about my words before speaking. "Over us? Or you think they're watching over you." "I know they're watching over us." My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. "Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe. "No," I breathed, shaking my head, "the stars will always watch over us." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *SLOWBURN* Isla Fischer, an 18 year old fresh out of high school and ready for life's adventures.

I'm using this as like a practice thing and writing abt random stuff that comes up in my mind at the time or stories (if you want you can recommend a topic for me to cover/write abt)

PSALM FOR A DEAD BABY by Monarch When a forgotten ritual is unearthed beneath the ruins of an abandoned chapel, no one expects it to work. The ceremony was meant to heal a dying child. Instead, it creates something else. Years later, a painting surfaces-an image of an infant with eyes too knowing, cheeks too pale, smiling and crying at the same time. The canvas cannot be burned. It cannot be torn. It cannot be erased. Each attempt to destroy it only restores it-whole, mended, closer to smiling fully. And then the miracles begin. The blind see. The deaf hear. The crippled walk. Across continents, hymns return to empty churches. Children hum a lullaby no one remembers teaching them. Governments dismiss it as hysteria-until the healed begin to die, their faces frozen in the same grotesque serenity as the child in the portrait. As the image spreads through screens, murals, tattoos, and whispered devotion, the world divides between believers and those who fear they have not witnessed a miracle-but a birth. A rational art historian and a spiritually fractured former priest find themselves drawn together by recurring dreams of the same infant beneath the soil. Distant, distrustful, bound by dread, they race to uncover the origin of the ritual before faith itself becomes a contagion. What they discover is worse than possession. The child was never chosen by a god. Humanity made one. And now the world is singing to it. Slow-burning, bleak, and profoundly unsettling, Psalm for a Dead Baby is a psychological descent into belief, devotion, and the terrifying cost of miracles. Because some prayers do not ascend. They answer.

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment - tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena's gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena's world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans - pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena's journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances - a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Mapmaker's Daughter is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world - they define it - and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.
