Determined to uphold his family's legendary name, he faces grueling trials that will push him to his limits and beyond.
As Utahis hones his skills in combat and sorcery, he forges unbreakable bonds with fellow students Leisan, Kaiden, and Zalish. But the Academy holds more than just lessons in warfare; dark secrets lurk in its shadows, whisperings of a curse that has haunted House Aayu for generations.
When tragedy, begetting treachery strikes at the heart of his family, Utahis finds himself thrust into a world of political intrigue and ancient magic far beyond his years. With his homeland under siege and a malevolent force awakening within him, he must draw upon everything he's learned to save not just his loved ones, but the very legacy of House Aayu.
In this epic tale of coming-of-age amidst chaos, Utahis will discover that the greatest battles are not always fought on the field, but in the depths of one's own soul. As the ashes of the old world fall around him, can he rise to become the leader his house needs, or will he be consumed by the very power he seeks to control?
"Ashes" is the first installment in the gripping "Last Aayu" series, blending high fantasy with political intrigue and personal growth in a world where duty and destiny collide.

No One Heard Her Cry
Anaya, an eighteen-year-old girl, is the silent pillar of a broken household. The eldest daughter of a family teetering on the edge of collapse, she lives in the shadow of her father's violent rage and her mother's quiet endurance. Her father, once full of ambition, now drowns in bitterness and unemployment. His fists often speak louder than his words, leaving bruises not just on skin, but on souls. Her mother, worn and weary, works long hours to keep the family afloat. She bears her husband's fury without protest, trying to shield her daughters from a storm that never ends. But Anaya sees everything. She learns early that no one is coming to save her. So she saves herself-bit by bit. She wakes before dawn to prepare for school, studies harder than anyone else in her class, and then comes home to cook, clean, and protect Meera, her fifteen-year-old sister. She never cries in front of them. Her tears belong only to the silence of the night, muffled by her pillow. All she's ever wanted is love that doesn't hurt. A voice that doesn't yell. Hands that don't bruise. A home where she's not afraid to breathe. And then she meets Aryan - a calm, composed naval officer who sees through the mask she wears. With every gentle word, every respectful glance, Aryan offers a world Anaya never believed existed. But her heart, so used to scars, trembles at the thought of trust. What if love turns cruel again? What if Aryan, too, becomes her father? Anaya stands at a crossroads - between the trauma of the past and the terrifying hope of a better future. Will she bury her heart to protect it, or will she finally let it bloom in the light it always deserved?Complete

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete

shadow heir
Synopsis It is a fantasy story about our main character, Jaron, a seasoned warrior and devoted father, who is determined to protect his child from a dangerous and mysterious fate. As the story unfolds, the threats surrounding them grow ever more perilous, drawing them into a world of ancient rivalries, supernatural powers, and political intrigue. There's a timeskip in wich we see how our characters grow and how they meet more people along the way. As the looming threat gets closer and closer. What begins as a struggle for survival becomes a sprawling adventure filled with unpredictable allies, fearsome enemies, and shocking revelations about the past. Along the way, humor and heartfelt moments balance the tension, making the journey as fun and lively as it is dangerous. The stakes rise with every chapter, leading to epic battles, cunning strategies, and intense duels that test not only strength but also bonds of trust and loyalty. With each step forward, the journey expands into uncharted lands, revealing new kingdoms, powerful clans, and forgotten legends. This is a long, ongoing saga-one that I'd love to see brought to life as a manga or anime-and I'll keep updating the series as the characters grow, the challenges mount, and the danger closes in. I would love for an artist to be co writer when we make a manga if adjustments are needed. Expect an unforgettable adventure full of battles, action, and heart. ---

The Power of the tongue and intelligence of a human being is what makes them different from God's other creations.

But they forget to listen and that is what will lead them to their doom ------------------------ Ayah Beizeen is a sixteen-year-old village girl with a peaceful and content life. She has loving parents, a supportive elder brother and an adorable younger brother. But she is different: Ayah was born mute. She didn't cry when she was delivered and hasn't uttered a word ever since. Sometimes, she wishes she could - she was envious of everyone who could convey their emotions through words, for she has no other option but to keep them bottled up inside her. However, Ayah Beizeen has a special friend from the age of five, when she was found on her terrace staring at the Moon. She talks to the Moon and it listens. Talking to the Moon is the only way, Ayah knows, to share her feelings. One night, the Moon comes with strange tidings - it says that everything that she knew about her life is going to change. She has somehow stumbled upon a strange path and the destination is uncertain. It all depends on the choices she makes. A tale of love, heartbreak, dreams, failures but above all - redemption. Follow Ayah's journey as she surpasses all odds. Is she the 'living miracle' that the Voice of the Moon claims her to be?
