What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation.

The book began with two characters, Lisa and Eleanor, who, during a vacation trip, ended up getting lost in a cave and found themselves in the world of beasts. They were best friends and did everything together, so it was no surprise when both transmigrated to the same world. In the world of beasts, they were the most beautiful and caught the attention of the most powerful males. Over time, however, Lisa's envy and ambition grew stronger and stronger. The friends soon became rivals and then enemies. Lisa, the villain, led the fox clan against the tiger clan in the book’s final battle, where she was ultimately defeated by the protagonist, Eleanor. As a consequence of her sins, she was blamed for the war and sold into slavery. To ensure she could never manipulate anyone again, her tongue was cut out. That was the price she paid for her greed.

Dhruv Patel, a 19-year-old dropout surviving in the ruins of Mumbai, stumbles upon a forbidden artifact hidden in the Elephanta Caves. What he awakens is no ordinary system; it's the Saptarishi Protocol, an ancient spiritual construct once wielded by the legendary Seven Sages of India. Now bound to a power older than civilization itself, Dhruv is thrust into a deadly quest: absorb and merge the lost relics scattered across the subcontinent, each guarded by corrupted deities, karmic beasts, or secret cults trying to rewrite history. But these relics do more than grant power; they reveal the true history of India, buried beneath lies, caste, and blood. As divine forces and ancient enemies rise, Dhruv must confront not only monsters and myths but the karmic debt of his soul. In a world where karma is currency, rebirth is power, and truth is a weapon, can one dropout rewrite the fate of a broken nation? The system is online. India is about to be reborn.

Humanity's spot at the top of the food chain was taken. Now we are the prey. Fifty years ago, the human race lost the war against the Eaters—beings that defied not just our understanding, but the laws of nature themselves. Their overwhelming strength drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Those of us who survived now live in hiding, as I have my entire life: worried about making noise, scavenging for scraps, and fleeing from shadows. But in that darkness, I found something extraordinary. A tool no human has ever discovered before: the System. With its power, I can heal my wounds, kill monsters, and perform feats I never imagined possible. Only to learn that most of the world has already been transformed by these same forces. Animals evolve into nightmarish creatures. Weapons gain deadly enchantments. Ordinary caves become treacherous dungeons. Even worse, I'm not alone in wielding this power. Other species have possessed this ability since birth. They've had generations to master what I'm only beginning to understand. But I can share this gift with other humans. I can give us a fighting chance. The question remains: will this spark of hope become just another candle snuffed by the wind, or will it ignite the blazing inferno of humanity's resurgence? What to Expect: - A monster hunting story featuring the strongest human alive, told in first person - A blend of adventure and visceral horror - The emergence and evolution of a unique System - A morally complex protagonist who understands that survival demands difficult choices Schedule: New chapters every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 10:00 AM (GMT-3)

The moment the dart struck my back, I staggered. Heat flooded my limbs, then numbness__ like my body was sinking while still standing. I heard Seraphina scream my name, but her voice sounded far away, like she was underwater. The cave blurred__ shadows dancing, lights spinning. My legs gave out _ I crumbled beside nyra. My hands resting on her wings. Was this how it ended? I blinked, the figures closed in. Then __ a roar. It wasn't nyra, not even human. The air changed _ electric and sharp. Like a storm had entered the cave. Then came the sound _ swift and brutal. I saw shadows, one in front of me__ nails long, curvy, eyes pure gold. She just killed one man with her bare hand. A gunshot. Another. A shout cut short. A man screamed. Something crashed hard against the wall. I tried to lift my head __ but to no avail. A blue of black and silver swept past me. Like a shadow but with purpose. A familiar voice barked "why the hell is she here". Low. Cold. Unforgiving. Draven? I tried to speak _ but couldn't. My lips moved, but nothing came out. Darkness bled in from the edge of my vision. The last thing I saw was Draven kneeling beside me _ gloved hands, lifting me up gently. His eyes were now pure gold. Anger. Wildness. Protection. Then nothing, only darkness

✴︎ From the Elder Chronicles, preserved in the Sanctum of Eldor Six centuries ago, a new force breathed itself into the world — a power not born of incantation nor drawn from relics, but awakened from within. The ancients called it Maind, the First Pulse — pure, unfiltered life-force. In time, it came to be known by a simpler name: Hit. Across the scattered kingdoms of the realm, magic had long flickered in the hands of the few — charms and rituals, arcane glyphs, elemental whispers. But none could compare to the concentrated brilliance of Hit as it bloomed within the borders of Miravalia. It was here, in lands closest to the Source, that the first wielders arose. Two brothers: Justice Lee, whose heart beat with purpose, and Matteo Lee, whose ambition eclipsed reason. Bound by blood, divided by vision. Justice sought to unite and protect; Matteo hungered to remake and rule. They were the first to awaken to Hit — and they were the first to nearly shatter the realm with its full fury. In their final battle, in the Cave of Galmoria, Justice struck down Matteo at the cost of his own life. But he did not vanish. His soul, burning with all he had become, poured itself into the Eternal Flame — a spectral ember waiting to pass to one deemed worthy. That ember now stirs again. And so begins the tale. The tale of nations on the edge of war. Of bloodlines that carry secrets. Of one boy who inherits the mark. The Hit. The Eternal Flame. Will he succumb to the darkness or harness the Eternal Flame power to protect the kingdom and it's people?
