"The past may burn to ashes, but a promise can rise again."

When Karna lay dying on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, his final wish was not for glory or redemption-but that his life's story, soaked in pain and pride, be sent as a dream to other Karnas across the universe. A chance for someone to live differently... to break the chain of mistakes.

In another world, a young Vasusen-raised by his loving mother Radha and his father Adhirath, the charioteer of Hastinapur-wakes from that dream, shaken and forever changed. He remembers a life of greatness and tragedy... but also of promises broken and paths lost.

Guided by those memories, Vasusen walks a new path-not for fame, not for revenge-but to earn the pride of the one who raised him, and to become the warrior his soul was meant to be.

This is a tale of love, dharma, and defiance-a story where fate is not final, and even ashes can give birth to fire.

To everyone who's been on this journey before-welcome back! And to all the new readers-hi from the author! I'm so happy to have you here 💛 This story is a heartful, polished version of my earlier work. The soul of it remains the same-but the emotions? Deeper. The love? Stronger. The pain? Sharper. Meet Harsha-the man who believed forever was his. He danced in the rain with her, smiled like the world was theirs, and built dreams around late-night talks and forehead kisses. But when duty called, he had to leave... even though something inside him screamed not to. He promised he'd come back. But fate had its own plans. This isn't just a love story. It's a reincarnation journey filled with soft moments, aching hearts, and a timeless bond that not even death could destroy. A reimagined Mahabharata love tale-written with all my heart, for you. From your favorite MB author, Lilly 💫 The story is marked compelte because it won't be updated further...
Falling In Love - Dwaparyug (Coming Back In 2026) by writes_shree_
20 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where time bends and destiny weaves its own mysterious patterns, eight sisters from Kalyug - modern, spirited, curious - find themselves unexpectedly thrown back into the ancient and divine Era of Dwaparyug, the time of the Mahabharata. As they step into the grand courts of Hastinapur, the sacred lands of Kurukshetra, and the majestic halls of Indraprastha, they come face to face with legends they had only read about in scriptures: the valiant Pandavas, the wise Krishna, the mighty Bhishma, the fierce Karna, and the misunderstood Duryodhan. But this is not the Mahabharata you know. What if one of these sisters is none other than Mahalakshmi herself, incarnated without her own knowledge, drawn by cosmic design to restore the balance of fate? What if the infamous Dyut Sabha (the game of dice) still happened, but Duryodhan was not the mastermind behind it - what if he, too, was a noble-hearted prince, caught in the web of palace politics? What if Karna, instead of being torn between loyalty and dharma, stood firmly as a royalist, adopted by bhishma & the only way to tie pandav & kaurav In this twist of imagination, love blooms across time, as the sisters' modern hearts connect with the ancient souls of the epic's heroes. Bonds of love, respect, rivalry, and sacrifice are tested across centuries. This story is purely a work of fiction, a heartfelt tribute and imaginative reweaving of the epic Mahabharata. No disrespect is intended toward the original scripture, its divine characters, or the beliefs surrounding them. If you're sensitive to fictional reinterpretations, you may kindly choose to skip this. For those ready to dive into the depths of this reimagined tale, I invite you: step into the ocean of this book and discover a Mahabharata where fate itself gets a second chance.

THE TALE OF TRINITY ~ DWARPAR YUGA by itzzzmoms_girl07
46 parts Ongoing
In an age when kingdoms rose and burned under the weight of ambition, three men bound not by blood, but by loyalty. Duryodhana, the prince who refused to be a puppet of tradition, reshaped his empire with iron will and a heart that hid quiet storms. Karna, the outcast-king forged in fire, walked the line between honour and rebellion - a hero born of silence and wrath. Ashwatthama, the immortal's son, carried both his father's curse and his own fierce love, standing torn between dharma and devotion. Together, they challenged gods and kings, rewriting the fate that others wrote for them. But when love, pride, and power entangled their paths, even friendship, their greatest strength was tested. "THE TALE OF TRINITY" is a sweeping reimagination of the Mahabharata, not of war, but of brotherhood. Of men who dared to love fiercely, fight righteously, and rule differently.
