Reluctant Stories

Crucible City floats above a sea of abyssal fog, held up by invisible chains of divine contracts. From the moment you're born, your name is stamped into the Basic Covenant: obey, serve, pay, repent. No choice. No appeal. No way out. Except him. As a baby, he was stolen from the gods by a band of fallen knights during the "Third Toll of the Night Bell." His skin is carved with forbidden sigils, the remnants of a contract powerful enough to reset the whole world. Everyone thinks he's just another street rat who got lucky and climbed his way into the prestigious Academy of Seals. They don't know he can see every covenant chain, every penalty, every hidden clause. They don't know that in the split second before ink dries, he can slip in a microscopic loophole that turns divine law against its own makers. By day, he's a model contract apprentice. By night, he runs a black-market service, fixing unfair contracts for the desperate and the damned. Until ownerless covenants start mutating into monsters, minor gods are "repossessed" by their own terms, and the ruling pantheon sends a cold, brilliant covenant hunter to erase the glitch in their system-him. Teaming up with the disgraced knights who once stole him, he opens a secret "Covenant Office" that only accepts gods as clients. Case by case, he chips away at the divine order. But the closer he gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: he isn't just breaking the system. He *is* the system's final weapon. Before the World Rollback clause triggers and everything rewinds to zero, he has one chance-to ring the night bell, summon every god to sign a New Covenant, and write a line that even the gods cannot override.

She'd been ruthless when it came to interrogations and torture, the blood and battlefield a part of her daily life. But now, she's Teagan-an ordinary woman in a world without magic, without war.

But the more she discovered, the more she wanted to forget.

Shen Tang awoke on her path of exile to find that this world was utterly unscientific. Divine stones rained from the heavens, and a hundred nations vied for power. With a honed literary heart, words became reality. With courage gathered in a warrior's spirit, mountains were cleaved and seas divided. The seemingly weak pretty boy she knew, with a single declaration of "Charge on horseback!", instantly found himself clad in armor, a long spear in hand, becoming an army of one, capable of slaughtering his way through enemy lines seven times over! The consumptive wretch in her eyes, by chanting "Stars scattered across a chessboard," transformed the heavens into a round canopy and the land into a chessboard, arranging troops with effortless ease! This wasn't just unscientific anymore! This was the coffin lid of science being nailed shut by theology! And as for her- "My Lord, the Northern Commandery is suffering a severe drought, perhaps you should shed some tears?" Shen Tang: "..." "My Lord, the Southern Province is flooded, perhaps you should laugh more?" Shen Tang: "..." -------- Looking at the ten bowls of rice she had devoured, her pocket cleaner than her face, and a group of starving, ill-intentioned villagers constantly stirring up trouble, the village chief Shen Tang, suspected to be the reincarnation of a bottomless pit and a true 'soul painter' (someone who draws poorly but passionately), had no choice but to abandon her beloved paintbrushes and reluctantly embark on the path of a warlord. join patreon.com/worldoffanfiction for advanced chapters and support the daily update

Adhiksha Kashyap has it all-beauty, brilliance, and power. At just twenty-four, she is India's youngest top-rated surgeon, a healer of children, and the formidable CEO of AK Pharmaceuticals. To her family, she is Adha, the loving daughter who runs NGOs and saves lives. But behind the curtain, she is Iksha, the quiet queen of a pharmaceutical mafia empire-unseen, untouchable. Shivansh Rajput, thirty, is a man who commands empires with an iron fist. To the world, he is a successful business magnate. To the shadows, he is the baadshah (king) of the mafia. Ruthless, feared, and fiercely protective of his little son, Shivansh trusts no one-especially not a woman forced upon him as his bride. Their worlds collide in a marriage neither asked for. Nafrat (hatred) defines their first glance, but taqdeer (destiny) binds them tighter than chains. Where Shivansh sees betrayal, Adhiksha sees survival. Where he commands obedience, she fights with her fire. Between family loyalty, mafia wars, and the pull of a forbidden desire, they are enemies under one roof, battling a war of wills. But sometimes, nafrat aur mohabbat ek hi sikke ke do pehlu hote hain (hatred and love are two sides of the same coin). Will Adhiksha remain his reluctant bride, or will destiny turn her into the queen beside his throne?
