Departure Of The Front Lines

Light Of The Shadow | The Battle Of God |

Trong một thế giới mà bản chất được dệt nên từ vô vàn tầng lớp của những ràng buộc vô hình, nơi từng phân tử hiện hữu đều bị khắc ghi bởi định luật của sự trói buộc và mỗi linh hồn đều là con rối bị điều phối bởi chuỗi xích vô tận của nguyên lý. Và trong chính sự điên cuồng ấy, một phản nghịch đã nảy sinh...Từ phản nghịch đó, đứa con của tự do đã ra đời, không phải như một sinh vật, mà như một dị điểm của toàn thể. Lumine là một mầm mống không thuộc về trật tự, một tồn tại gào thét giữa vòm trời bất động, một biểu tượng sống của khước từ mọi gông cùm đã khai sinh ra khát vọng tuyệt đối, hủy diệt mọi ràng buộc. Không phải bằng thù hận, mà bằng chính cơn đói triệt để với tự do tuyệt đối, Lumine và kẻ song hành đã thách thức thực tại, một thực tại vốn là mê cung bất khả phản kháng được dựng nên bởi những kẻ mang danh Thần, những kẻ không tạo ra thế giới mà lại chiếm hữu nó bằng thứ quyền lực mượn danh ý chí. Thế nhưng, ngay khi bàn tay họ tưởng đã chạm đến thứ ánh sáng rực rỡ nơi cuối đường hầm, cái ánh sáng mà họ nghĩ là sự giải thoát thì chính vòm trời ấy sụp đổ, và thực tại cười khẩy bằng tiếng cười của vô số bánh răng vận mệnh gãy vụn. Họ không bị đánh bại bởi kẻ thù, mà bởi chính quy luật đã thối rữa của cái thế giới họ muốn phá tan, nơi mọi hành động dù nhỏ bé nhất cũng bị tính trước trong một ma trận tuyệt đối của hệ quả. Đắng cay thay, cái chân lý mà họ đuổi bắt, cái chân lý trần truồng, tinh khôi và thuần khiết nhất... tự do lại nằm ngay trước mắt họ, song bị che khuất bởi sự tồn tại của một điều không nên tồn tại...Và chính vì thế, sự tồn tại của hắn không thể được dung thứ. Không phải bởi vì đạo lý, mà bởi vì hắn là dấu chấm hết của mọi diễn ngôn. Kẻ đó không nên tồn tại. Không phải bởi vì hắn sai, mà bởi vì hắn là thứ thuần túy, một lỗ hổng mang hình người trong thân thể của một thế giới đang hấp hối vì chính những gì hắn cho phép tồn tại.

The Thin Lines Between Us: A Possessive Bully Romance

"Are you kidding me? I get jealous the second somebody else even looks in your direction! Do you think that's because I just want to fuck you?" He demanded. Then he paused, staring at me in that way of his that made me want to crawl out of my skin. "I can't do this anymore," he exclaimed, his mouth wide open, his eyes bigger than saucers. He looked like he wanted to scream. And he might as well have, for what he said next. "I'm in love with you, Rina. I have been for months. That's the reason I can't leave you alone, because I can't get you out of my head!" Tropes: Enemies to lover, bully romance, second chance romance. Written from dual points of view in two different time periods. Trigger warning for brief discussions of child abuse, self-harm, suicide, and dubious consent. 10 years ago, Rina was a foster child placed with a new family in Wellsprings, a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C.. Prior to the start of her senior year, Rina stumbles upon the captain of the football team, Easton Clarke, shooting steroids before practice. Handsome but an asshole, Rina vows to avoid Easton at all costs. The only problem? He doesn't want to leave her alone. Easton Clarke knows the only way to win his father's approval is to perform on the field. If Rina rats him out for steroid use, his chances of playing college football--and of his father finally being proud of him--will be ruined. Intent on making sure Rina keeps her mouth shut, Easton vows to make her life at Wellsprings as isolated as possible. That is, until Easton realizes he can't get the mysterious new girl out of his head. As fall progresses into winter and secrets begin to come to light, Easton will do anything to keep the girl who could ruin his life to himself. When he goes too far, though, he risks losing everything.

The Ascent of Arjun - The Empire of Dharma

# The Epic of Arjun - Synopsis ## Setting The dense forests of Dandakaranyam in ancient Bharath, where traditional ways of life and the code of dharma still govern the land. ## Main Characters **Arjun** - A sixteen-year-old with the classical heroic build of ajanubahu (arms extending to his knees), trained in combat and archery. Despite his warrior training, he has a compassionate heart that abhors unnecessary killing. **Devavrath** - Arjun's grandfather and mentor, a formidable warrior whose true identity remains mysterious. Though aging and ill, he possesses extraordinary combat skills and deep wisdom about threats facing the motherland. ## Plot Summary Young Arjun lives a secluded life in the forest with his grandfather Devavrath, undergoing rigorous training in archery and combat. When his grandfather falls ill, Arjun ventures into forbidden territory to gather rare medicinal herbs, despite warnings about the dangers that lurk there. In the tiger's domain, Arjun encounters a fierce tigress protecting her two cubs. The tigress, already wounded from territorial battles and desperate to protect her young, attacks the intruder. Faced with an impossible choice, Arjun reluctantly kills the tigress in self-defense but saves her orphaned cubs, bringing them home to raise as his own responsibility. This act of compassion comes with a price - Devavrath demands that Arjun double his training efforts. Through increasingly challenging exercises, including hitting targets while dodging his grandfather's attacks, Arjun's skills are pushed to their limits. As the training intensifies, Devavrath reveals a shocking truth: Arjun is not just a forest dweller but a Kshatriya with a destined role to protect Bharath from foreign threats that are gathering in the shadows. The rigorous training is preparation for a greater purpose - to defend the motherland from "foreign beasts" who wait to strike. ## Central Themes - **Dharma vs. Personal Desire**: Arjun's struggle between his natural compassion and his duty as a warrior - **Responsibility and Sacrifice**: Taking responsibility for consequences of one's actions (raising the tiger cubs) - **Hidden Destiny**: The revelation that Arjun's simple forest life is actually preparation for a greater calling - **Master-Student Bond**: The deep relationship between Devavrath and Arjun, built on trust, wisdom, and unspoken secrets ## Conflicts **Internal**: Arjun's moral conflict about killing and his confusion about his true identity and purpose **External**: The immediate physical challenges of survival and training, with hints of a larger conflict brewing for the future **Generational**: The tension between Devavrath's knowledge of greater threats and Arjun's current innocence about the wider world ## Story Questions - What is Arjun's true heritage and why is it being kept secret? - What are the "foreign beasts" that threaten Bharath? - Why is Devavrath's time running out, and what will happen when he's gone? - How will Arjun's compassionate nature reconcile with his warrior destiny? ## Tone Epic and mythological, blending intense action sequences with philosophical depth. The narrative carries the weight of ancient Indian storytelling traditions while exploring timeless themes of duty, sacrifice, and the price of protecting what one loves. This opening chapter establishes Arjun as a reluctant hero whose journey from compassionate youth to defender of dharma promises to be both physically and spiritually transformative.

Brothers Of The Infernal Front

In a fractured future where Earth’s colonies cling to survival behind domed cities and orbital fortresses, humanity faces extinction not from above — but from within. The Dreadborne: lab-grown apex predators once meant to secure mankind’s dominance, have turned feral and unrelenting, tearing through everything in their path. Only the United Colonial Front’s elite UCIC forces stand between civilization and collapse. Among the newly enlisted are Israel and Isaiah Johnson — two brothers drafted into the crucible of war and assigned to Forward Unit Delta-9, a hybrid squad forged from precision infantry and specialized suit operators. One dons the stealth-optimized Eidolon suit, orange-plated and built for recon and rapid engagement. The other, quiet and calculating, becomes the team’s Gideon — a combat engineer and combat medic, armored in deep green and carrying the burden of keeping everyone alive. As the brothers undergo brutal simulations, suit integration, and frontline indoctrination, they’ll be thrust into the fire not only of alien horrors but of human treachery. The real threat may not lie in the Brood Zones alone — but in the shadows cast by powerful corporations funding a growing insurrection. Caught between genetic annihilation and a civil war on the rise, the brothers must hold the line, no matter the cost. Bonds will be tested. Blood will be spilled. And not all of them will make it home. This is Brothers of the Infernal Front — a grounded military sci-fi epic where loyalty is rare, steel is sacred, and survival is earned one drop at a time.

THE FALL LINE

Derik Halvorsen was born brilliant—and broken. Raised in silence by a violent ex-military father in rural Montana, Derik never cried, never connected, never forgot. By sixteen, he could dismantle any system, crack any server, and understand evil better than any therapist who ever tried to study him. And then one night… he made his first move. When his father dies under mysterious—but eerily clean—circumstances, the police rule it an accident. Derik disappears. No leads. No trace. Just one new ghost in the system. But Derik didn’t run. He evolved. Armed with a list of names—abusers, traffickers, corrupt prosecutors—he begins executing brutal, calculated murders that look like suicides, accidents, or divine punishment. Every kill is a message. Every detail, a signature. He doesn’t murder for revenge. He murders for balance. As federal agents begin to catch on, whispers spread in the underworld—someone is out there correcting the justice system’s mistakes. A living algorithm. A myth. A nightmare. But Derik isn’t hiding anymore. He’s building something. And the deeper he goes, the more powerful enemies take notice—some who don’t want to stop him… and others who want to use him. Because sometimes, the only thing worse than a broken system is the man who learns how to perfectly destroy it. ⸻ Themes • Morality vs justice • Systemic failure • Psychological trauma • The mind of a killer • Cold logic vs emotional chaos
