The Timeless Veil

Rudra was in the middle of his morning exercise, the rhythmic thud of his feet on the ground and the cool morning air clearing his mind. But his routine was abruptly interrupted by a sound that sent a chill down his spine—the piercing wail of the base siren. That siren only meant one thing: enemy jets were closing in on Indian airspace. Rudra was the first to engage the income Pakistani jets, locking onto an F-16. His MiG might have been old, but in his hands, it was deadly. His first missile found its mark, taking down one of the Pakistani jets. He quickly locked onto a second F-16, but this time, the enemy pilot deployed flares, deflecting the missile. As Rudra maneuvered for another strike, Captain Jorawar’s F-16 swooped in. Rudra managed to avoid the missile fired by Jorawar with a rapid maneuver, but the intense move took a toll on his aging MiG—his engine caught fire, and alarms began blaring in the cockpit. He ejected just in time, but disaster struck—his parachute caught fire, leaving him falling fast towards the earth. As Rudra fell, the cold wind whipping against his face, his life flashed before his eyes—not just the battles and the glory, but the regrets that weighed heavy on his heart. In those final moments, a thought gripped him: if somehow, by some miracle, I survive this... if I get another chance... I will live my life to the fullest. It wasn’t just about duty anymore; it was about making amends, about healing the wounds that time and circumstance had torn open. His mind turned to his foster family—the people who had taken him in after he lost his parents at the age of four. Commander Karanveer Batra, his father's friend, had raised him like his own son, alongside his own children. Yet, despite all the love they had given him, a distance had grown between them. The estrangement had left a scar on his mind, one that made him realize the difference between true blood and a foster family. The girl he had once loved, with all the intensity of a young heart, had ended up marrying his foster brother. She had become his sister-in-law, and Rudra had never dated anyone after that. The pain of that unrequited love had strained his relationship with his brother, and by extension, with his foster father and sister. He could still see his foster father's disappointed, pained face and his sister's helpless, sad eyes. If I survive... I’ll make things right, he vowed. I’ll repair those bonds, and I’ll create a family of my own—a family that I can truly call my own. As these thoughts filled his mind, a strange calm settled over him, and slowly, the world around him faded away. In the distance, the reinforcements from Jamnagar arrived, forcing Jorawar and his squadron to retreat. But for Rudra, the battle was over. What went unnoticed, however, was that Rudra's body had fallen onto the ancient steps of a Shiva temple, believed to be self-manifested. The temple stood silent and untouched, yet from within its depths, a thick, unnatural fog began to seep out, swirling with purpose as it crept closer to his still form—its intent unknown, its origin a mystery. Squadron Leader Rudra Pratap was born in 1992. At 32 years old, he had never married, dedicating his life to duty. And this seemed to be the end of his story... or perhaps, the beginning of something new. Follow Rudra on his journey as he defies fate, transforming from a patriotic soldier into a shrewd and calculating businessman. Watch as he not only reshapes his own life, but alters the balance of global power in his relentless pursuit of success. .................................................. #India 2 Chapters/Week

Zweimal Luna abgewiesen, der Wunsch aller Alphas

Valerie, die Tochter des ermordeten Alphas des Yellow Stone Rudels, konnte das Rudel nie anführen, weil sie einen Luna-Wolf hatte. Ihr Gefährte Tristan wurde an ihrer Stelle zum Alpha ernannt. Nachdem sie den Titel des Alphas angenommen hatte, wurde Valerie reingelegt und brutal zurückgewiesen, nicht nur von Tristan, sondern auch von ihrem ganzen Rudel und ihrer kleinen Schwester Scarlet, mit der Tristan heimliche Affären hatte. "Ich lehne Luna Valerie als meine Gefährtin ab. Sie wurde im Bett mit einem Fremden erwischt, was bedeutet, dass sie das Rudel verraten würde. Die Strafe für Verrat ist der Tod", verkündete Alpha Tristan herzlos. Die Rufe der Rudelmitglieder und der anwesenden Alphas, die zur Alphatagung gekommen waren, zogen sie zu dem Urteil hin. Niemand hätte gedacht, dass Alpha Denzel, dessen Name ihnen wegen seiner Rücksichtslosigkeit die Haare auf der Haut zu Berge stehen ließ, es zur Konferenz schaffen würde. Valerie schöpfte Hoffnung, als sie erkannte, dass Alpha Denzel ihr Partner der zweiten Chance war, aber sie wurde schmerzlich zurückgewiesen. Die doppelte Zurückweisung führte dazu, dass sie ihren Wolf verlor und von allen anwesenden Alphas zum Tode verurteilt wurde. Sie dachte, ihr Schicksal sei besiegelt, als Alpha Denzel ging und ein Krieger bereit war, sie hinzurichten. Alle waren schockiert, als Alpha Denzel sich plötzlich umdrehte. "Halt! Die verräterische Tochter eines verstorbenen Alphas sollte nicht getötet werden. Sie erwartet noch mehr Leid", erklärte er. Valerie fiel das Herz in die Hose, als sie seinen finsteren Blick sah, der wie ein bodenloser Abgrund war, und sie wurde vor Erschöpfung ohnmächtig. Ein paar Monate später entbrannte ein Krieg zwischen den Alphas, die Anspruch auf die zweimal abgewiesene Luna erhoben. Wird die Mondgöttin ihr nach dem Tod ihres Wolfes gnädig sein und ihr einen anderen Wolf geben? Und welcher Alpha könnte ihr nun kaltes Herz zum Schmelzen bringen?

Once Upon an Obsession

Startled, she turned to face him, her eyes wide with a mixture of apprehension and sadness. “Cethian,” she responded softly, her voice tinged with the sorrow of her people’s plight. “What is it?” He closed the distance between them, his eyes never leaving hers. “The war is tearing our worlds apart,” he said, his tone as cold and precise as the strategy forming in his mind. “But there is a way to end the suffering and bring about a lasting peace.” Airi’s eyes filled with tears, her heart breaking at the thought of the destruction already wrought. “How?” she whispered, her voice trembling with the weight of her grief. “How can we stop this?” Cethian’s gaze intensified, his emotions a volatile mix of cold logic and burning obsession. “Marry me,” he said, each word a command that brooked no refusal. “Marry me, and I will end this war. Our union will bring peace to our kingdoms and secure the future for both our peoples.” Airi’s breath hitched, her mind reeling from the impact of his words. “Marry you?” she echoed, struggling to comprehend the gravity of his proposal. “But… why? Why would you…” He stepped closer, his gaze piercing into her soul, filled with a dark, possessive hunger. “Because I love you,” he said, his voice both a whisper and a declaration. “But my love is not the gentle, romantic kind you dream of. It is fierce, consuming, and I will do whatever it takes to make you mine.” Airi’s eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding as she tried to process the intensity of his emotions. “Cethian, I…” He silenced her with a look, his expression hardening with determination. “This war is about power, yes, but for me, it is also about you. I want you, Airi. I have wanted you from the moment I saw you. Marrying you is not just a political maneuver; it is a necessity for my heart and soul. You are mine, and I will not let anything stand in the way of that.” Airi felt a shiver run down her spine, her mind torn between the desperation to save her people and the fear of becoming a pawn in his ruthless game. “But… what about my people? How can I trust you?” Cethian’s eyes softened slightly, though his resolve remained unshaken. “Trust is earned, Airi. And I will prove my devotion to you by ending this war, by saving your kingdom. Marry me, and I promise you will see that my love, twisted as it may seem, is unwavering and true. Together, we can shape a new future, one where our people thrive, and where you are by my side, as my queen.” She looked at him, her tears flowing freely now, her heart aching with the weight of his words. “You will marry me, Airi,” he repeated, his voice a blend of command and desperate longing. “Not because you are forced, but because it is the only way to bring peace and because, deep down, you know you belong with me.”

Can he make it back to the top or will he be booted from his clans registry for falling below #16 DELO? DELO stands for Death Elevator Linking Order, because the more you die, the higher you can climb! You need to die and be reborn with higher stats to climb higher on the DELO meter. He's just 16 years old. The hacker was 19 years old. They're both Chinese and live in Fengxuan, a small city in northwest China. They both don't know each other, and hate each others guts. They want to go to Sweden for PAX Eternal 2080. That's a year away! This is their story... Of survival! And bloodshed! And maybe even catching Auria's arms! She must be out there, somewhere... The FL is Auria, a real beautiful woman, girl actually in real life, who they're both fighting for! She's 16 years old but they don't know her. Online, she plays the male character Reactor Blade, and Otter_44351147's Bison Fellow and the hacker's unnamed character will all be featured! It's my entry for the real winner of the WebNovel Rising Star! It features a sports team, VR, online game, futuristic world, a new video game we'd love to have!, and hopefully we can make in the future, devs?
