Minister

The Next General

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

Save the World? I'm Too Lazy

For Lucian, who had lived a life full of betrayal, reincarnating into the world of the fantasy novel "Hero x Sword" wasn't a second chance—it was a grand annoyance to his desire for a quiet life. Reborn as Alaric Valerius, the son of a minor baron destined to be executed by the world's hero, he refuses to resign himself to such a troublesome fate. His goal is simple: to live his second life with maximum laziness and absolute peace. However, to escape this destiny and finally achieve the peace he craves, he is forced to do the most inefficient and forbidden thing imaginable: kill the world's symbol of hope, "The Saint of Solian." But this action tears the script of fate apart. The hero's death doesn't bring him the peace he craved. Instead, it awakens a new shadow that never existed in the original story. Strange, dark incidents begin to occur across the kingdom, heralding a far greater and more ominous disaster. Now, Alaric is the world's most wanted fugitive, though no one knows his identity. Led by Set de Medeiros—the grieving Minister of War and the hero's uncle—the kingdom's entire military might is deployed to hunt down the mysterious assassin. At the same time, Alaric is the only person who realizes the world is beginning to deviate from the novel's plot, with a new, unexpected threat on the rise. Hiding behind the mask of a lazy student who would rather sleep in class than train, Alaric must use all of his cunning to survive the greatest manhunt in the kingdom's history. It was all incredibly exhausting for him, but the prospect of death was a far greater annoyance than the effort required to live. Will his identity as the hero's killer be revealed? Can a man whose greatest motivation is laziness be forced to save the world? And in a world that has lost its light, what dangers await in the newborn darkness?

Crimson Rose Queen

Synopsis A modern woman. A tainted reputation. A crown she never wanted. Lynn Carter, a sharp-tongued gamer girl, never expected to wake up as Eleanor Sterling—the infamous “Scarlet Rose” of the Visterian Empire. Known for her beauty, cunning, and ahem, scandalous escapades, Eleanor is the last woman King Sebastian Leohart would ever choose as queen. Too bad her father, the prime minister, forced the marriage to consolidate power. Now, trapped in a body with a wicked past, Lynn must navigate a court full of vipers, a husband who despises her, and a swarm of suitors who think “notorious” means “available.” But this modern girl has a few tricks up her sleeve. Dare to underestimate her? She’ll outmaneuver you with wit sharper than a dagger. Dare to scorn her? Watch the empire’s “first harlot” become its most brilliant strategist. Dare to ignore her? Pray you never see her smile—especially while she’s burning your armies to ash over tea. And then there are the men—so many infuriatingly gorgeous men—who can’t seem to decide whether to ruin her or worship her: The King: Sebastian Leohart, the frosty monarch with blood-red eyes and snow-white hair. He married her for politics, but he can’t seem to stay away. The Scholar-Saint: A genius as pure as untouched snow, who loves her despite her body’s sins. The Warlord: A conqueror who would raze kingdoms for her smile, even as she drives a dagger into his back. The Shadow: Her most loyal knight, guarding her by day, and burning for her by night. But beneath all the glitter and games, something darker stirs. Eleanor’s soul wasn’t the first to inhabit this body. And someone wants the new queen dead...

Ashes Of Silence

In June 2025, a devastating plane crash near Hyderabad kills over 500 people. Among the suspected victims is Andhra Pradesh’s Home Minister, Rathnadevi, a formidable woman known for her fierce stance against corruption. But when her body isn't found, questions begin to swirl. In New York, Anushree, an intelligence officer and Rathnadevi's estranged sister, sees the news and returns to India. Media frenzy explodes. But Anushree, sharp and composed, redirects the attention: “Many died. Not just her. Don’t forget them.” As she investigates, Anushree meets Naveen, a quiet aspiring detective from Chennai who insists on helping. A villager’s report changes everything: someone saw Rathnadevi in a forest hours after the crash. The duo follows the trail. They find Rathnadevi alive—hiding in a forest ashram. She admits she skipped the flight to mourn her dead lover, killed years ago by their father’s political ambition. The pass she gave her aide led to the crash—and she’s been silent ever since. Anushree reveals something darker: the crash was orchestrated. Rathnadevi was being targeted. Files exposing aviation corruption were meant to be leaked—files on that very plane. Rathnadevi surrenders. Arrests follow. Truths unravel. At a mass funeral for the unidentified victims, Anushree thanks Naveen for his help. As they sit by the river, she finally asks: “Why did you really come to help?” Naveen hesitates. Then, quietly: “Because my family was on that flight. I just… never told anyone.” She stares at him in silence. Words fail. But sometimes, silence says everything.
