In a nation that promises liberty yet binds its people in unseen chains, Kocvh stands at the fault line between history and the present. An African American man navigating the fractured terrain of America, his journey is one of resistance, revelation, and reckoning. From whispered legacies of bondage to the quiet violence of modern systems, Kocvh carries the weight of generations-yet refuses to be crushed by it.
His path is not linear. It bends through borders both physical and psychological, through institutions that speak of justice but echo with silence. As he confronts walls built from policy, prejudice, and power, What does freedom look like when your always at war?
Not so Free-Freedom is not just a story-it's a mirror. Kocvh's struggle is layered, symbolic, and deeply personal. What he endures, what he resists, and what he becomes...

The Lotus in the Dark
Love was supposed to complete me. That's what everyone said. That once you found the right person, your life would bloom like a garden in spring. But instead of wings, all it gave me were chains. Chains I hid behind my smile. Chains I didn't show my friends. Chains my family never even knew existed. I thought silence would protect me. I thought holding on to a love no one else could see would make it stronger. But silence isn't protection. It's poison. And one night, when the weight became too heavy to breathe, I whispered into the dark: "Enough." A lotus blooms even in the dirtiest water. And maybe, it was time for me to bloom too. This is not a story of being saved. This is not a story of waiting for someone else to notice my pain. This is a story of becoming my own savior. This is the tale of a Black Lotus-rooted in mud, rising in silence, crowned in power. And if you're reading this, maybe it's your story too. Maybe you've been hiding your love, your scars, your truth. Maybe you've been carrying someone in your heart who never carried you back. But here's what I've learned: You don't need anyone's permission to grow. You don't need anyone's approval to shine. You don't need to stay chained to someone who cannot claim you. You only need yourself. And once you rise, once you bloom, once you stand tall in the storm- You'll become the voice, the light, the fierce energy that lets others rise too. I am not here to be quiet anymore. I am here to roar. To bloom. To live. I am the Black Lotus. And I will not be hidden again.
In Debt To The Devil
"Why-why is he here?" I asked slightly feeling panicked. "Your father, Step- father owes me money. 36 million pounds to be exact." Stefan said as he buttoned his suit and looked at file on the desk. "Well we don't have that kind of money." I said as I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at my fathers. "They need more time to pay it all off, it is true. I thought they will be able to pay it. So, I gave them five months. The third months can't be paid. They don't even one third of the annual payment. I believe you will a talk about my offer to them very soon." He said as he was walking towards me. "W-Wh-Why?" I asked as he approached me as I looked up at him. He was tall but, I was not very short either. He must be 6 feet but I was 5 feet and 7 inches. With my heels I was 5 feet 10 inches. His intense gaze on me made my chest warm. "You are part of it." The devil said in low voice as he stood next to me. I couldn't move or think for a few moments. His hot breath fell on my neck and it sent a shiver down my spine and make my breath hitch. Stefan Black entered my life. And my life fell into darkness. I am Diana Martin or was.

The Cunning Venus
"There is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women's silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt." ― Thomas Sankara, Women's Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle) This story starts in the mid-'70s when South Africa was experiencing democratic change; it mainly focuses on the challenges that women faced, from not being considered economically valuable to not being provided equal opportunities as men to being faced with discrimination, lack of legislation, tribalisation, segregation, and Domestic issues. This story takes us on a journey of how cunning a woman can overcome all the barriers that hold her back and how she becomes a Cunning Venus. All characters in this story are fictional, and the storyline is not based on the exact historical event.

How is he supposed to mend his relationship when Emi won't even talk to him? Pablo didn't want to get up today. In fact, he'd rather not get up at all, but Miles was idiot and it was best Pablo was there to witness. Never expected to find out that no one knew what they were doing at the mission target. What happened to the briefing? And why are Emi and The Vocate acting so suspicious? Whether it was a mistake or it was planned, Spring's attack on an airport leaves more than a fire. It allows the Supremacy to get exactly what it wants. The lives of those in Zafran will be changed forever. This is the story of Spring. Get to know these characters by their thoughts and actions, and how they navigate the world. Their paths converge and join with a Supremacy officer, a rebel from Twin Blades, a charming Vocate, and a volunteer fire fighter.
