An old man takes a deep thought in retrospect to relieve how fate and destiny tied into one have played a significant role in his emergence and failures. He then simply explains that efforts, opportunities and most importantly fate are great determinants of how a man reaches his destination.  All these he later tells his grandson as they unwind together at the veranda of his beautiful edifice with an ocean view. Despite the wide age gap between them, there seemed to be a mutual understanding and a spark in the eyes of this little creature who is being exposed to the wisdom of a sage. As a young chap he got what will take his mates years of experience to acquire. Thanks to the relationship with this consulted oracle who is his grandfather.

The Twisted Tales by LuciferKreuger
14 parts Complete
A place where true love expires, good people get fired and beings are nothing but dust. Where stalkers are heroes, society makes zeroes and madness is not in the crust. Some people are killers, and that's just the pillars of what is essentially rust. When you feel you are mad, but that isn't so bad in a world that is oh so unjust. They'll kill you by car, or from quite afar in a world where all life is fleeting. Don't try to protect, you'll just end up wrecked, for you know their hearts are not beating. They'll kill you my sweet, and not drop a beat, for my story is only just heating. Power means all, even more for the small, but power has a habit of retreating. The bodies mount up, many lives will breakup, as I'm here to just tell a story. Don't look in the hill, though it is quite a thrill, I've heard it can get quite gory. Don't play with the heart, and don't think you're too smart, or you'll die with none of the glory. All are mad from the start, but you played your part, in the world of pure purgatory. Alas look a ghost, be careful you're not toast, you must want to see what I see. Society is ruthless, protection is fruitless, for in madness is when you are free. Perfection is dead, from the wounds we all bled, a cruel fate we did not foresee. While outsiders are safer, if only by a wafer, you can still hear them utter a plea. Now my story is frightening, but oh so inviting, so come now and give it a whirl. I can promise some danger, so don't be a stranger, watch now - we will see it unfurl.

In a near-future society, every person wears a Cast - a sleek device that displays their inner fulfillment for all to see. Fulfillment is everything. It's currency. It's status. It's safety. The more fulfilled you are, the longer you live, the more respected you become. And if your Cast falls too low for too long? You're taken to The Verge, a place no one talks about... and few return from. Kai Renner has it all. Fame, wealth, admiration. He's the face of success - glowing with fake fulfillment thanks to an illegal implant. But during a massive celebration in his honor, the system malfunctions... and reveals the truth. He's exposed, labeled as "critically unfulfilled," and chosen for transport. But Kai isn't alone. At The Verge, he finds a hidden world - a community of the "unfulfilled" who've all been cast out by the same rigged system. As Kai navigates this strange, stripped-down environment, each chapter uncovers a lie society sold as truth - and teaches a lesson on real fulfillment. Not the kind that glows. The kind that heals. This is not a story of rising back to the top. This is a story of breaking free from the idea that worth comes from winning. Through love, pain, confrontation, erotic healing, and spiritual truth - Kai and the others begin to uncover something deeper than success: peace. But the system doesn't like peace. It wants obedience. And the final chapters will force Kai to choose: Expose the system for what it is, or lose everything - again.

This is a story about Pond a bio medical engineering student and Phuwin,a fine arts student. They had unpleasant meeting at first. The feelings started to grew longer days by days. Their first meeting couldn't have gone worse - a spilled cup of paint on Pond's notes, a sharp comment, and a glare that could kill. From that moment, Phuwin decides that Pond is arrogant and impossible. Pond, on the other hand, convinces himself that Phuwin is dramatic and infuriating. They both would've happily ignored each other forever. But things take a turn when Pond's ex-girlfriend suddenly shows up on campus - laughing with someone new, looking happier than ever. Jealousy and pride twist inside him until, in a moment of panic, he blurts out a lie to save face: > "I'm seeing someone." And fate, with its cruel sense of humor, chooses that exact moment for Phuwin to walk by. Now trapped in his own reckless scheme, Pond begs Phuwin to play along - just for a week, he promises. Against his better judgment, Phuwin agrees, partly to spite him, partly out of curiosity. What starts as an awkward act soon grows complicated. The teasing glances turn into real smiles, fake dates start to feel like something more, and late-night study sessions blur the line between acting and honesty. Pond begins to see beyond Phuwin's guarded attitude - the warmth in his laugh, the gentleness in his art. And Phuwin starts to notice the real Pond, the one who hides his heart behind sarcasm and science. But every lie has an expiration date. When Phuwin learns that it all began as a game - that his feelings might have been built on a lie - the fragile connection between them breaks. Pond is left standing in the silence he created, realizing too late that the person he used to provoke just to get a reaction... has become the one person he truly wants to protect. Now, he has to prove that what started as a lie has become something real - even if it means baring his heart completely.
