Before our time, even before the Big Bang, there was only emptiness and darkness. In the Araka era, two stars were born: Funkaju and Hikimori. One possessed the power of body and spirit, the other the power of the inner spirit. Together, they created the Yakizu-a power that creates life and can destroy everything. When they tried to give this power to humanity, they failed. Funkaju's people grew strong. Hikimori's people died. In despair, Hikimori created a subject: Azura. Powerful. Lifeless. Unstoppable. A war broke out. To end it, Funkaju sacrificed himself and created the Yami- a human tasked with defeating Azura. Azura was sealed away. The gods vanished. The world forgot. Years later... ___ Yemari Tsukuchi is laughed at, bullied, and not taken seriously. At school. By teachers. By her classmates. But she believes in the Yami. And she believes that one day she can embody him herself. Only Kanto, her best friend, believes in her for a long time. They train together. They dream together. But when Kanto chooses his own path, Yemari is left alone. As ancient powers reawaken and threaten the sealed powers, promises are broken. And just when Yemari is about to give up fighting, she learns the truth: The Yami exists. And it is her. But a dream that comes true can sometimes be more painful than one that remains unattainable.

Ek Avaaz is the story of a quiet ninth-grade girl who finds her voice not in words she speaks, but in the ones she writes. Tanvi Tripathi loves writing, but at home, dreams are measured in marks. At school, silence feels safer than being seen. When Naksh Srivastav notices the girl behind the quiet, he doesn't try to fix her - he listens. This is not a loud love story. It's about small moments, unspoken understanding, and healing that happens slowly. Because some voices are meant to be felt, not heard.

In Search for the End is a reflective journey through life, belief, identity, and the strange feeling that reality sometimes runs on repeat. Through poetic thoughts and philosophical questions, the author explores what it means to fall, to search, and to keep going-even when the destination is unclear. This book doesn't promise answers wrapped in certainty. Instead, it walks beside the reader, questioning religion, society, truth, and the idea of an "end" itself. Along the way, it reminds us that confusion is human, doubt is natural, and searching might be the point all along. Thoughtful, curious, and quietly hopeful, In Search for the End invites readers to pause, reflect, and maybe smile at the realization that none of us truly have it all figured out-and that's okay.
