Balthazar Maya

Just when Maya believed her life couldn't get any more difficult after her mother abandoned her, she found herself taken in by her aunt, who forced her to work late into the night. Maya endured it all, but when she turned 19, news swept across the kingdom: the king sought a wife. That wife turned out to be her—though it felt more like a curse than a blessing. The royal palace was a hell even worse than her aunt's grasp. Maya had envisioned marrying the love of her life who would rescue her from her grim life, showering her with the love and compassion she deserved. Instead, fate handed her the devil himself. Known as the Nightbringer, he inspired terror in everyone who crossed his path, and whispers of his extraordinary powers filled the air. Initially, Maya thought she could withstand him, but he proved to be more than she had imagined. Desperate to escape, Maya soon realized that leaving was not an option. She was bound to him. Forever.

Maya thought she had buried the past. Rafael disappeared five years ago, leaving her pregnant and alone. She raised Leo herself, through every fever, every first word, every night he asked where “Daddy” was. Then one glance in the park changes everything. Rafael returns—not for Maya, not even to make peace—but to confess something that shakes the ground beneath her: Leo might not be his son. As letters from Maya’s late sister begin to resurface, secrets buried deep threaten to unravel everything Maya built. And when Jason—the man Maya swore never to see again—sends a message, the truth turns into a weapon. Now two men claim a right to the child. But only one holds the truth. In a story of betrayal, forgiveness, and the love that survives the wreckage, Maya must choose between rewriting the past—or protecting her future. Because sometimes, love isn’t how far your arms can reach. It’s how much you're willing to lose to hold on. ---

But will he succeed… Can Vikram truly stop these twisted demons—creatures who slaughter humans by making their intestines explode from within, all by simply shoving cursed feathers into their ass ? From the divine mind of Brahma, the god of creation, came not only beauty and order—but also the flaws of existence. One such flaw was born from his back, not his heart or mind—a symbol of neglect. That flaw took form as Adharma, the embodiment of impropriety. Adharma married Mithya, the goddess of falsehood, who twists truth and clouds clarity. From their union came Dambha (Vanity), representing arrogance born from lies, and Maya (Illusion), his sister and future wife, who wraps the world in deception. Dambha and Maya gave birth to Krodha (Anger)—the violent force of pride and frustration. He, too, married his sister, Himsa (Violence)—a being that thrives on pain and destruction. From them was born Kali—not a god, but a force destined to rule the final age due to his bloodline connection to Brahma. Thus began Kali Yuga, an era fated to last 432,000 years—a time where neither gods nor demons are allowed to intervene in the human realm. But one demon rebelled—Rudra. Seeking to overthrow Kali, he unleashed chaos on the human world, shattering the divine balance and leaking celestial power into the mortal realm. As humans unknowingly begin to awaken to these powers, the order of the universe teeters on collapse. To stop this spiral, the gods choose a protector for Earth: Vikram. His destiny is not to conquer, but to restore balance—to walk the line between gods, demons, and mankind… and maintain cosmic order.
