A Foreign Field by simonpm
11 parts Complete
It all began back in 1983 when two masters from Dover Grammar School lead a group of a dozen boys on an adventure behind the Iron Curtain to one of the Warsaw Pact's most hard-line regimes. Bulgaria at that time was far removed from the mass tourist destination of today, and, aside from the infamous assassination of the dissident play write Georgi Markov with a poison-tipped umbrella on Westminster Bridge, it was an not an exaggeration to say that few Britons knew much, if anything at all, about this strangely beautiful country. It was on that trip that I met my future wife; she was so taken with my fun sized Toblerone that one thing lead to another and we married and began our new life together. My story, "A Foreign Field" tells of the transformation of a plot of land on the outskirts of Kozanovo, a small village in Bulgaria's Thracian plains, from a simple peanut field to our modern family villa and garden. The land, seized and collectivised by the communists in the 1940's was finally returned to the original owners and then developed into our dream family home. Back in England in 1983, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was talking of lifting government's controls over society and busily progressing Britain as a "property owning democracy". That Bulgaria, that staunchest of Soviet Allies, would be queuing up to head down the same pathway and that I, together with a Bulgarian wife, would so enthusiastically be taking part in that journey seemed a far-fetched and derisory notion.

Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student by VheenaD
62 parts Ongoing
Long ago, there was a legend about a powerful cultivator from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom. The cultivator raised seven disciples whose mere name alone was capable of shaking all realms. However, many experts who researched hundreds of thousands of years of history suspected the story to be a fabrication as no evidence of the person or his legacy was found. "Nonsense! How dare they say master story is just a legend!!!" "There's no way I'm going to accept what they're saying! If it wasn't for the fact that this planet is where the sect and master used to live, I would have destroyed them!" There was a shout in a simple food stall from a girl with no satisfaction. But strangely the scream did not disturb the other guests, as if the scream had not been heard by them. "S-students calm down, it's been too long anyway. With the short lifespan of humans, they must have just assumed it was a legend. Master is not offended." Replied a young girl who was sitting with the screaming girl. "No master! I can't just take their word for it! They have to know the true story master!"The girl continued in an angry tone and continued her endless rant. _______ Well, this story is about an ordinary man who became a woman (lost his balls) when he was transferred to the world of Xianxia. Because of his stupidity, he tricked people into becoming his apprentice just to make his life easier, but regretted it because he was afraid of being found out about his lie (because he was an ordinary man? who pretended to be a cultivator). Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. The book cover is from AI.

"Hey, to be fair I apologized. In addition, you did not exactly paid attention to where you are going either! You were on your phone the whole time too, so stop trying to play the victim here!" "I was just trying to find this one room that I was supposed to be teaching in. so if you don't have anything else to say right now, I think you should move out of the way and let me pass." Hearing his response, Arianna was beyond pissed. With disbelieve and mentally cursing the SOB, she replied, "Oh if you think you are the only important being mister teaching assistant. You are dead wrong. See, I am not afraid of you. Here is my phone number in case that laptop of yours is badly damaged and you need the money to fix it. Have a good day, I hope I would have the privilege of not seeing your face ever again." Arianna moved pass the Greek god and head to the room. She arrived there quite on time since her teaching assistant was not there yet. She decided to take some deep breath in the meantime before the teaching assistant arrives. 20 minutes passed and everyone getting impatient and starting to think the seminar was cancelled. When people starting to get up to leave, the door swings open and a deep baritone voice said, "Sorry I was late class, I broke my laptop this morning so I have to get it fixed..." and he looked at me and said, "You". Holy mother of cows. With that one word, Arianna froze in place. Just her luck, that baritone voice belongs to the man that ran her over this morning.

Rohit never imagined that attending a family function would upend his life, but destiny had other plans. Unexpectedly finds himself thrust into marriage with Ritika due to a long-forgotten promise between their late grandmothers. They barely know each other despite a brief childhood encounter. Both are bewildered by the sudden turn of events but are pressured into the marriage by family. Amidst the chaos, Rohit and Ritika tentatively navigate their new roles as husband and wife, unsure of each other's feelings. This wasn't how they had imagined their wedding day, but as they looked at each other, they realized they both were in this together. A shared past, a confusing present, and an uncertain future - all bound by the unexpected vows they had just taken. Rohit felt a sudden pang of anxiety. Amidst the whirlwind of the day's events, he hadn't had a moment to think about how on earth he would explain this entire saga to Virat. Rohit sighed, bracing himself for the barrage of questions and the inevitable laughter that would follow. But for now, he focused on the calm in Ritika's eyes and the silent promise they shared: to face whatever came next together. One question lingered in both of their minds - What did their future hold now, bound together by a promise made long before they were even born? Could this unexpected twist of fate lead to a love story written in the stars, or were they merely pawns in a game orchestrated by their grandmothers' memories? Or perhaps maybe their grandmothers' had seen something which they were about to discover very soon.

This is a non-fictional anecdote about Agbesi as he was hooked up by the tussles in securing his university education. As he graduated from secondary school, he was very passionate in furthering his tertiary education in order to make his dream as a petroleum engineer come true. Though brilliant, he could not make it to the university that very year he had completed secondary school by virtue of gross financial constraints. Agbesi having known his fate, had to spend a year at home and work for his industrious but impoverished mum and his rich misery surrogate father. Loving his mum so much for her care for the family, he decided to help her in her petty business as against teaching. As the real-life experiences unfold in the story, Agbesi had been stood down from her mother's drinking and food spot business and coerced to embrace his surrogate father's block factory and land-surveying enterprises. Notwithstanding that he earned meagre wages from any of those businesses, he continued saving and finally applied into one of the most prominent public universities in the country and bought a few school items too from the same savings. Finally, when he was about to leave for the university, there arose the issue of paying his academic fees. Through the intervention of two of his benefactors in his secondary school, this dire condition was resolved. All set and done, he was full of gratitude as he set off to his new school.
