21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

Centuries ago, the Empire was the beacon of civilization, a colossus of power and prosperity. But 560 years after its founding, its decline is inevitable. Corruption has taken hold of its foundations, incompetent officials have led to chaos, and noble families fight among themselves for scraps of power. The emperor is a mere figurehead, and barbarian invasions and internal rebellions threaten to destroy what remains. In this world on the brink of collapse, heroes and villains emerge: some fight to save the Empire, others seek independence, and a few dream of replacing it. Who will prevail in this struggle for power? And what price will the world pay for their ambition?

To survive, he must turn his weakness into strength and his lands into a mighty fortress. In the end, the winner is not the one who triumphs but the one who manages to survive.

"Compassion. Tell me, what is compassion? Is it a virtue? Or a weakness? A sign of naivety, or wisdom? Or is it one of those ideals that treads the line of ruin and preservation, an unfathomable ideal who's understanding surpasses the mortal mind; only being truly understood by the gods. Mortals struggle with it, wielding compassion like a sword from which they use by holding its blade not handle..." Growing up Reshi never lived a good life. His life had either been bad or worse, or sometimes just bad waiting to happen. Then it ended. First his family died, then he was killed. Then he got slapped by a deity, and wacked into the world of his new favourite novel. Here perhaps you maybe thinking he was living a life of riches. Was he the main character? Was he living a life of riches and joy? Was he gifted cheats and powers beyond belief? Was he a cool extra, loved by others and leading a simple life, only being unfortunately dragged into the plotline due to his outstanding morality, which he constantly denied having. Well, partially. He definitely wasn't loved. Not when he transmigrated into the body of Arthur Gravewalker. The Son of the Duke on the modern world of Pandora where humans settled after leaving Earth hundreds of years ago. He was a minor antagonist, not even one that appeared in the main story, with at least a couple of chapters outlining his villainous ways! Or even a small montage of the protagonist struggling against him before something like the power of friendship defeated him. No, he was some antagonist used to spice up the past of one of the main cast during a flashback scene in the book. Did he have time to change what the old Arthur had done, saving himself and the main cast some serious trauma? No. He was transmigrated right in the middle of being punished for his crime. Where, he’d exit the book, to live a life of eternal misery in repentance and give the readers some definite satisfaction. So peace was a thing Reshi wouldn't find even in this life. No, he'd have to work for it. Fight for it, give everything he had to suffer and claw to strength. He’d have to kill for it, so that one day. Far, far away. For the first time in both lives, he might actually get to live in peace.

Once the brightest star, Yun Chen lost everything after an accident. He witnessed both the best and worst of those around him, eventually seeking solace in virtual reality games that simulated an ancient cultivation world. In the game, he became the leader of a clan, a master in every field, and a warrior who bravely fought against the hordes of zombies and demons that ravaged the land. He ranked first on all the leaderboards and was worshipped as a god. However, even the greatest heroes must face death. But Yun Chen remained calm. He did everything he wanted to do and even planned his death so he could be reborn as an NPC in his beloved game… huh? NPC? Oh well, it’s not that bad. Create quests, gain prestige, influence, and reputation, and then plan everything from behind. Starting from scratch in an apocalyptic world? Well, he’s already fought zombies and demons, so a couple more ghosts, human betrayals, and political strife won’t hurt him. The hardest part was definitely wasting time cultivating, but he found a way around it without paying more... In the end, Feng Rui did get a couple of nice perks and rare treasures...

Hanzou Zankoku, a 16-year-old determined to be the strongest in a realm of magic and monsters, had seen something strange. Something that seemed out of place. Me, starving and on the verge of death, glimpsed a strange figure in my dream world. He seemed familiar, but he was someone that I had never seen. ... "Don't give up." He encouraged me without context, and though I had never heard those words before, my morale improved slightly. But, when I had lots of questions to ask, my dreamlike world started to collapse. I woke up, gasping in exhaustion as I gripped my chest tightly. Instead of birds chirping outside my window, the first sound I heard was a bell chime. !!! Suddenly, a system-like window showed up in front of me. [You are an anomaly.] "What?" [You weren't supposed to exist in this world today. You weren't supposed to interact with that person.] "What does this thing mean? Am I hallucinating now that I'm about to starve?" [This world has a set storyline. You are a threat to the balance in this world.] Can Hanzou survive this world, supposedly a story, all while knowing its future events? Or will he die trying trying to live in this world as an anomaly, a version of himself that wasn't supposed to exist?

"In a world where even the shadows have stories to tell, I discovered that the forgotten can wield the mightiest tales" ______________________ I, an ordinary reader of the world's greatest series, found myself entrapped in its world after a seemingly ordinary sleep.

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

A fast-paced story of assassination picking off his adversaries and leaders one by one. How he attained a fearful reputation, worry not, because we’re cutting to the core of the issue with an insight into the real assassin's code. What’s more, a hallmark of the killings was made public as possible so as to sow maximum fear, overwhelmingly ending in the assassin’s death. He turned himself into a calculating machine, an extremely terrifying assassin that would give nightmares to the enemies and feared by the underworld including the SAS, CIA, and M16 Government. Of course, this was no trivial task requiring both skill and training. The greatest benefit of becoming a skilled fighter was mentored by two elderly couples who were not in this world that has unimaginable power of life forces. A true story with fantasy. Let’s rock on….

Still getting frequent death threats from the Blood Lord, Rey Reed Smith was forced to abandon his friend and loved one in the Middle Land and embark on the Blood Lord’s quest. As much as Rey didn't want to do the Blood Lord's bidding, he had no choice because the man now had access to his soul. For starters, Rey was killed during the war against Dylan Knoll, and his spirit went straight to the underworld, forcing him to lose his Alpha and Hellhound powers. In the underworld realm, the Blood Lord forced Rey Reed Smith to drink from the water in his fountain, granting him special powers, speed, reflexes, and the ability to read minds. This water took away Alpha Rey’s power, making the Blood Lord have absolute control over Rey’s soul and life. The blood lord forcefully trained Rey, drilled all his skills into his body, and made him a great fighter. Did he do this to send Rey back to the middleland so he could create a breach between the world of the living and the underworld?

Sometimes, we all have those untold stories or secrets. We may have that someone or something close to our heart, though they are not with us for eternity. but we are obsessed with them. We tried to explain others or sometimes to ourselves too but, something usually remained incomplete. Though in our heart we know the reality. We may love or hate it, but one thing is for sure we can never ever get over with it. This is the way how stories used to be with us since the beginning.
