Krishna has ultimately fulfilled the prophecy of slaying Kans and ending his callous rule over the ancient kingdom of Mathura. A land split by a prehistoric conflict between humans and Rakshasas (A race of giant creatures with unnatural quirks like shape-shifting and invisibility). But now, it is up to Krishna, as the new king of Mathura, to either bring peace among the belligerent factions or burn their strife forever in the flames of war.

Karna is a mere fisherboy but is truly exceptional with the bow. He dreams of becoming a warrior someday, yet bound by the shackles of an archaic philosophy, he is prohibited by society to study the arts and sciences of combat. Filled with a desire to become a great warrior that reaches beyond everything he holds dear, Karna embarks on a dangerous journey, filled with deadly beasts and mystical trails, only to find himself a teacher.

Bhishma is believed to be the greatest warrior in the continent of Aryavrath and the rightful heir to the kingdom of Hastinapur. Yet, guilty of mistakes committed in his youth, he vows to serve Hastinapur as a servant instead of a king. A selfless act to prevent conflict within his family? Or a foolish decision that would destroy everything that he hoped to preserve?

"The Kuru War" isn't another story of a battle between good and evil, instead, it narrates a struggle that defined the morals and norms of an age-old society. It is a thrilling story of beings that had the power to shape the future, a fantastical tale of the rise and fall of the Kuru clan told as an action-packed reimagination of a timeless Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata.

Does the Moon Yearn for the Sun? by Amrutha4ever
91 parts Complete Mature
[ COMPLETED ] When war steals everything and truth arrives too late, can love still find a way? Or will it vanish like the sun at dusk and the moon at dawn? Urmila, an ordinary woman from the 21st century, never imagined her life would take a turn beyond time itself-until a near-death accident hurls her into the heart of the Mahabharata. Lost in an era of warriors, kings, and divine prophecies, she finds herself entangled in the fate of the Kuru dynasty. At first, her only desire is to return home. But that changes the moment she meets Angaraj Karna-the radiant, tragic son of the Sun God. A man scorned by society yet bound by unshakable honor. A warrior cursed by fate yet overflowing with kindness. And a heart so fierce and noble that it threatens to consume her own. As the great war of Kurukshetra looms, Urmila faces an impossible choice: should she defy fate itself to save the man she loves, or let history unfold as it was written? Her journey is one of love and loss, sacrifice and self-discovery, forcing her to question whether destiny can be rewritten-or if some souls are meant to burn together, only to fade apart. Can love truly transcend time, or will Urmila's arrival only deepen the tragedy that awaits Karna?

Destiny or Accident? by Shivi_Kohli
98 parts Ongoing Mature
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?
Jaya Samhita by AbhyudayaKaramchetu
122 parts Ongoing
In the divine realms, the Gods face a dilemma. Time is unravelling, the threads of Fate are tangled, and the human world is drifting farther from Dharma. Those destined for greatness and with Dharma in their hearts still fail to grasp its true meaning. The Gods realize that to set things right, they need more than just divine intervention-they need Fate. And so, they turn to Niyati, the embodiment of Fate, to rewrite the paths of mortals. But Niyati is not a force that bends easily. She is not a mere servant to the will of the Gods. She is eternal, impartial, and unyielding. Yet, the Gods plead with her to reincarnate, to take the form of a mortal woman, and to change the course of history. The struggle for Dharma has become a tangled web, and only Niyati has the power to guide it. Reluctantly, Niyati agrees, but not without her own reservations. She will reincarnate-but not alone. By her side is Narayan Krishna, the Supreme Being himself, who seeks to work through her to restore balance. Krishna's divine presence shapes the events of the Mahabharat, but Niyati's hand gently tugs the threads of destiny. As Niyati walks through the lives of kings, warriors, and sages, her decisions become the fulcrum on which the Fate of the Kurukshetra war tilts. She is not just a silent observer; she actively moulds the choices of the Pandavas and Kauravas, nudging them toward their ultimate destiny. But will she be able to guide them to understanding Dharma before it's too late? Or will the complexities of Fate itself prove too intricate to change? Through battles of war, wisdom, and sacrifice, Niyati and Krishna work together, forging a new path for humanity. The journey is not just one of war but of understanding-the battle for Dharma is fought not only on the field but in the hearts and minds of those who walk the earth.
Mysterious Time Traveler in Dwapara Yuga by Nishaku09
51 parts Ongoing
In the mystical era of Dwapara Yuga, there existed a mysterious time traveler-a girl who wove her existence through countless aliases, concealing her true name and identity. Only four individuals knew her intimately, forming an unbreakable bond that transcended lifetimes. Together, they navigated the ebb and flow of existence, from life to death and back again. Behind the veil of secrecy, she held immense power. Since her teenage years, she had subtly shaped the world, showing kindness to those who deserved it and unleashing wrath upon those who dared to cross her. To her loved ones, she appeared as an innocent child, her personality bubbling with warmth. But to outsiders, she emanated an enigmatic calmness-a silent force that could alter destinies. In an unexpected twist of fate, she found herself transported back to the era of great warriors-a time when valour clashed against destiny, and legends were forged in the crucible of battle. The catalyst for this temporal journey was a seemingly innocuous mistake made by someone she deeply cared for-a mistake that reverberated through the ages. She found herself reborn as the daughter of a benevolent king and queen. Three elder brothers surrounded her, their protective love shielding her from the tumultuous currents of fate. And so, she stepped into the annals of history, her modern sensibilities colliding with an ancient world.
