Aarohi Malhotra survived the accident that shattered her world - but surviving was never the same as living. Behind her cold silence and carefully built walls hides a girl haunted by forgotten memories, trauma, fear, and emotions she no longer knows how to face. To the world, she appears strong, intelligent, and untouchable. But beneath that control lives a loneliness she quietly carries every day. Then Arjun Sharma enters her life. What begins with misunderstandings and hatred slowly turns into something far deeper - a love built on patience, understanding, and staying beside someone even when they are falling apart. Because sometimes healing does not come from fixing a person. Sometimes, it comes from simply having someone who refuses to leave. But the past Aarohi buried long ago refuses to stay hidden. As forgotten memories slowly begin to surface, her life turns into a dangerous psychological maze filled with secrets, manipulation, obsession, betrayal, emotional conflicts, and truths powerful enough to destroy everything around her. Yet this story is not only about Aarohi. Every character carries their own fears, wounds, insecurities, coping mechanisms, and silent battles. Through different relationships and perspectives, the story explores trauma, healing, attachment, emotional struggles, and the complicated reality of human emotions - because people are rarely simply "right" or "wrong." Sometimes, they are just trying to survive life in the only way they know how to.

The peace was a lie. The crown is a curse. The legend has returned. Four years of silence have ended in a scream. The golden era of the Island has been smothered by a new, dark reign-one fueled by ancient sorcery and a hunger for absolute control. The rightful leaders have been cast into shadows, the global accords are turning to ash, and the world's citizens are falling under a spell of forced worship. But in the darkest hour, a ghost from the past has crossed the horizon. He was the architect of the old world, a man raised in the ice and forged in blood. He doesn't come with a plea for peace or a banner of truce. He comes with a cold, mechanical fury and an army that does not bleed, does not tire, and does not know the meaning of fear. As magic clashes with iron-willed strategy, the true cost of the throne is finally revealed. Brothers will face brothers, legacies will be burned to the ground, and the secret experiments of a hidden past will rise from the earth to reclaim the future. In the phase, there are no heroes-only survivors. • A Usurper who wields the power of the stars but fears the shadows. • A Fallen King who must find his strength behind iron bars. • A Shadow who has returned to finish what he started decades ago. The game is over. The real war begins now.

Hidden within the ominous mists of 'The Lost Echo' forest, they aren't just surviving. They are drawing the blueprints for a 13th Nation. A sanctuary for the discarded. A kingdom built brick by beautiful brick.

CORRECTION: The Naked Sword Book One Kairo Shen dies on a bathroom floor in Osaka at twenty-six. No light, no warning. He wakes up naked in a forest that has no name for him, in a world that has never heard of him, with nothing but the clothes a stranger lends him and a mind that cannot stop mapping what it sees. What he sees is a system. A levy that bleeds villages dry by design. Stewards who walk through doors like they own them. A lord who eats well while old men stop tending their gardens. He has no magic. No sword. No destiny handed to him by anyone. What he has is the ability to read a broken thing and understand exactly where the rot started. And the patience to build, from nothing, the tools to correct it. Book One follows Kairo's first year. From a forest floor to a village to a garrison to a battlefield. From nobody to Shield Warden. From a man who woke up with nothing to a man who knows what he is building and why it is going to take much longer than he wants it to.

A New Blood Crusader (Mythos Continuity): About one year into the Clone Wars, fighting escalates between the Republic and the CIS.

Among the National Academy on the planet, Avalon, Samuel Bismark trains in pursuit of becoming a future commander in his commitment to secure independence for Avalon and any other worlds that choose secession.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

[Contains mildly suggestive content / The harem is literally part of the job] This story aims to be one where "more girls join, the town expands, and entire nations get involved." Yuri, an exiled noble, is married into the household of a baroness burdened with a debt-ridden territory. His new job is supposed to be rebuilding the domain... except it turns out to be managing a harem!? His only real advantage is his cheat Gift, Fraudulent Merchant, which lets him "import and sell" products and knowledge from Japan. With good food and useful items, he wins over the heroines' hearts-and, while he's at it, revitalizes the territory too! Together with the women of the harem, he travels far and wide in a desperate struggle to restore the land. It should have been a satisfying comeback against the father who cast him out-and the arrogant nobles around him-but things get complicated fast when hardcore domestic politics and dangerous political sparks start piling up...? This is the story of a so-called hopeless noble-who is actually armed with overpowered merchant cheats-rising to the top through territory building, romantic comedy, and sweet revenge! This version is a direct AI translation of the original Japanese text, so please understand if some parts read a little awkwardly. ※I will be posting this story on Scribble Hub, https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2251230/

They called him a hero. Then they beheaded him. After thirty years of fighting for the kingdom, he was sold for peace. His wife. His children. His army. All died in vain. But death was not the end.

An arranged marriage. A powerful name. And a choice that was never meant to become love. When Aishwarya Madhav marries Liam Moretti, it is not born of romance, but of obligation, two lives bound by family decisions, cultural distance, and a world ruled by power. He is an Italian heir shaped by legacy and enemies. She is an Indian woman grounded in quiet strength, kindness, and conviction. Anya Singh, meanwhile, remained woven into a part of Liam's life that still breathed, vibrant, expressive, and alive with emotion. Loving him openly, loudly, without knowing how love could demand more than the heart was prepared to give. As past, present and future collide, What Remains unfolds not just as a love triangle, but a journey of human choice; of loyalty that is earned, of love that transforms, of family that is built through patience rather than blood. This is a story about an arranged marriage that began without love. About power, danger, and the cost of decisions made in the name of protection. Above all, it is a story that asks one question: When everything else is stripped away, what remains?
