The Arcane Heir

The Arcane Heir – Synopsis For centuries, the Arcane Heir has been nothing more than a legend—a name whispered in secret, tied to an ancient power feared by kings and coveted by those who seek control. But when seventeen-year-old Alaric Vale unknowingly awakens his dormant magic, the legend becomes a reality. Raised as an orphan in the slums of Eldoria, Alaric never believed he was destined for anything greater than survival. But after a brutal attack by rogue sorcerers, he is rescued by the enigmatic Lady Sylvaine, who reveals the shocking truth: he is the last descendant of a forgotten bloodline, heir to a magic unlike any other. Forced into the elite Valderis Academy, where noble-born mages train in the arcane arts, Alaric quickly realizes he is an outsider among the privileged—and a target for those who fear his power. As he struggles to master the magic surging within him, he discovers a chilling prophecy: the Arcane Heir will either save the world… or bring about its end. But Alaric is not the only one seeking answers. The mysterious Darian Voss watches him too closely, the cult known as the Children of Ruin believes he is the key to unsealing an ancient darkness, and shadowy figures from his past hint at secrets buried even deeper than he could have imagined. With enemies closing in and time running out, Alaric must unravel the mystery of his own existence before he loses control—because the greatest threat to the world might not be the prophecy… It might be him. The Arcane Heir is a spellbinding fantasy novel filled with magic, intrigue, and the eternal struggle between fate and free will.

Unwritten Mates

“Rate that one,” Ethan whispered, sidling up to me as I tried to swallow my frustration. He gestured toward another girl walking by with her father—a tall man with a belly that strained his too-small suit jacket. “Girl’s a solid six,” Ethan murmured, barely holding back his grin. “Dad? Three. No, wait. Two-point-five. Those shoes are a crime.” “Piss off,” I hissed, though the corner of my mouth twitched. Teely joined him, holding two champagne flutes, one of which she offered to me. “You look like you need it.” “Gee, thanks,” I muttered, downing the drink in one go. It didn’t help. Teely laughed softly. “Relax, Luca. You’ll survive this. Probably.” “Only because I haven’t strangled anyone yet,” I shot back, earning another chuckle from Ethan. “Seriously, though,” Ethan said, dropping his voice. “You’ve gotta pick someone, or your dad’s gonna lose his mind. And let’s be honest, the guy doesn’t have much sanity left to lose.” I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “I’m not picking anyone. None of these people matter.” “Your funeral,” Ethan said with a shrug, though there was a flicker of understanding in his eyes. He knew. He always knew. The night dragged on, every interaction blurring into the next. Girls smiled politely, their fathers talked about alliances, and I nodded through all of it like I wasn’t seconds away from bolting out the door. Then it hit me. A scent. Faint, but unmistakable. It was like rain on warm soil, mixed with something sweet and soft—something her. My chest tightened, my wolf snapping to attention like someone had just poured gasoline on a fire. I froze, the world around me dimming as I tried to track it. My head snapped to the left, then to the right. Where? Where was it coming from? “Luca?” Ethan’s voice sounded far away, like it was coming from underwater. There. My eyes locked on the grand staircase at the far end of the hall. A girl was descending, her dress shimmering in the light like it was made of emeralds. Her movements were slow, almost deliberate, and I couldn’t see her face yet. But I didn’t need to. My heart hammered in my chest, each beat louder than the last. She was holding the arm of a man—tall, broad-shouldered, and irritatingly familiar. But I couldn’t focus on him. Not when she finally turned her head, her face coming into view. Quinn. My legs nearly gave out. My breath caught, my wolf howling inside me. It was her. After everything, she was here. And she wasn’t alone. ******************************************************************* Seventeen-year-old Quinn Wayne moves with her family from bustling New York City to a secluded, mist-shrouded town in Alaska, where her parents have purchased a dilapidated inn. Surrounded by dense forests and towering mountains, the picturesque town promises a fresh start—but Quinn quickly realizes it holds secrets far darker than she could have ever imagined. In this epic journey of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery, Quinn must rise as the Lunar Guardian, embracing her newfound powers and her identity as Luca’s mate. The path ahead is uncertain, filled with loss, triumph, and transformation. But one thing is clear: the choices Quinn makes will forever alter the balance between humans and werewolves—and determine whether love can conquer even the darkest of curses.

That Time I Got Reincarnated With Gacha System In Mahabharata

(This Story Takes Place In AU So, Don't Expect To Go Things As It Was In the Original Mahabharat.) Hindu x Greek x Norse (Mythologies Included) ******************* My name is Aditya. I am a seventeen-year-old who used to live in Kurukshetra, Haryana, and, of course, an orphan. Life was ordinary until a tragic accident took me away from the modern world—only to be reborn in a time I had only read about in history books: the Mahabharata era. As for how I got to this conclusion? Well, the answer to that question lies with the man-god sitting far away from me with a mischievous smile on his handsome face—Lord Krishna. It seems my memories awakened at a significant moment: the Swayamvara of Draupadi. Standing amidst an assembly of kings and warriors, I watch as Karna is insulted and humiliated for his lower caste. The tension in the air was palpable, and I realized that I was witnessing one of the most pivotal events in the Mahabharata. My heart raced with both excitement and dread. But as I tried to process this, something even stranger happened—a voice echoed in my mind. [Welcome, User! You have activated the Gacha System.] What on earth? Or rather, what in the Mahabharata? Before I could even fully comprehend the situation, I felt a strange pull within me, like an invisible force connecting me to something far greater. The system interface appeared in front of my eyes, listing various abilities, weapons, and companions—all locked behind a gacha mechanism. Apparently, I had been reincarnated not just as a mere observer but with a cheat ability straight out of a video game. The Gacha System allowed me to draw random skills, weapons, or even templates from the grand pool of every mythological lore. But there was a catch: each draw required "Fate Points," and earning those points meant altering the events of this world. As I stood there, watching the unfolding drama with Karna, I realized that I was no longer just a bystander. I had the power to change history, for better or worse. But meddling with destiny in such a grand tale came with unimaginable consequences. What if I anger the gods? What if I change the fate of heroes like Arjuna, Karna, or Bhishma? The weight of it all hit me like a thunderbolt. Still, one thing was certain—I couldn't let things play out the way they did in the original story, not if I had the power to make things right. With the Gacha System at my side, I had the chance to rewrite the Mahabharata itself. But I needed to be cautious. Lord Krishna’s knowing gaze seemed to pierce through me as if he already knew about my unique circumstances. Was he testing me? Guiding me? Or simply waiting to see how my actions would shape the future? Then let's start with this event itself. ********************** Disclaimer: Remember, this is a fanfiction about Mahabharata. Not "Original" Mahabharata. I have no intention to harm anyone's religious belief, I am just writing a what-if story from my perspective. If you don't like it, So I kindly request you not read further this.

The Veil of Cindrelle

In the city of Cindrelle, magic is everything. It flows through the cobblestones, whispers in the wind, and grants power to those who are chosen. For most, the Spark is a birthright, a gift that shapes their destiny. But for Caelum Wrenwick, the Spark never came. Born without it, he is condemned to a life on the edge of society, shunned by those who can wield magic and haunted by the looming threat of the Veil. The Veil is the city’s greatest secret, a misty prison for those who fail to manifest their Spark. It is a place of exile—a one-way passage where people vanish, never to return. To Caelum, it has always been a symbol of failure, a dark fate that awaits him when he turns seventeen and still has no magic to call his own. But when a strange pull leads him to a forgotten, decaying district, he discovers a door long-hidden—and with it, a power that will change everything. Inside, Caelum unlocks a force far older and far more dangerous than he ever imagined: a chaotic, raw magic that ties him to something darker than his world has ever known. The Veil is not a prison, but a door—and through it lies a truth that could destroy or save them all. But the price of understanding the Veil is steep. It will change him, shape him into something new—and perhaps something unrecognizable. As the city trembles on the brink of disaster, Caelum must decide if he will embrace his newfound power or risk losing himself to the storm that rages within the Veil. To save Cindrelle, he must confront the very heart of its magic—and the dark secrets that have been buried for centuries. In a world where the lines between light and shadow blur, where power can both save and destroy, Caelum’s journey will challenge everything he thought he knew about himself, his city, and the very nature of magic. The Veil is waiting.
