The Undead's Personal Slave

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

The Director’s Cuts: Horror Tales

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

A Thousand Pixels Apart

Synopsis: "A Thousand Pixes Apart" "A Thousand Pixes Apart" is a poignant journey through the digital connections that shape our real lives, and the bittersweet echoes of past relationships. We meet Jiya, a spirited 19-year-old whose virtual world is as vibrant as her real one is shadowed. In the quiet solitude of a hospital waiting room, a personal tragedy unfolds, leaving her reeling. Her escape comes in the form of a popular MMORPG, where she finds solace and laughter in the unlikely companionship of Vivan, a witty and loyal archer. Their in-game adventures are filled with humorous mishaps—Jiya's accidental healing of a "stressed" NPC yak becoming a running gag—and deep, unspoken affection, hinting at a connection that transcends pixels. Years pass, and life takes Jiya on a new trajectory. Now 25 and a burgeoning model, she's more confident and grounded, her gaming days seemingly behind her. A road trip to Manali with her friends Rajiv, Hemali, and Prasad is meant to be a fresh start, a journey toward new experiences. However, a sudden car breakdown on a remote mountain road brings an unexpected encounter. Rescued by two businessmen, Abhijeet and his silent partner, Vivan, Jiya finds herself in the same car with the man who once shared her pixelated dreams. As they travel, casual conversation slowly peels back layers of the past. Vivan, now a successful garage owner, shares his journey of overcoming adversity, unknowingly echoing sentiments and aspirations he once shared with Jiya in their online world. Subtle hints—Manali being a shared dream, Vivan's past as a gamer, and the unspoken recognition in his gaze—build a quiet tension. Jiya, initially oblivious, slowly begins to piece together the fragments of memory. The climax arrives when Vivan, prompted by Hemali, reveals his name, his eyes locking onto Jiya's. The realization hits her with a profound, aching force: the silent, composed man beside them is the Vivan of her past, the loyal gamer she unknowingly let slip away. Tears well up as she grapples with the weight of missed connection and forgotten intimacy. As Vivan's SUV drives away into the night, Jiya is left with the painful truth of what was lost, and the regret of not recognizing him sooner. The story concludes with Vivan's quiet confession to Abhijeet—that he saw Jiya's happiness, and that alone was "enough"—leaving a bittersweet impression of love, loss, and the silent strength of letting go.

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

The many children many blessings system

In a world still reeling from the shadows of past wars, Izumi Senju is more than just a handsome face and a natural genius; he's the last male survivor of the legendary Senju clan. Growing up in Konoha, his bond with the vibrant and spirited Kushina Uzumaki was forged in childhood, blossoming into a love so undeniable even the prodigious Minato Namikaze quietly conceded. On his eighteenth birthday, Izumi's life takes a dramatic, if slightly awkward, turn. A mysterious entity, the "Many Children's Many Blessing System," awakens within him, bestowing the legendary Wood Style, a formidable Senju Physique, and mastery over Senju Sage Mode as a starter gift. But the System comes with an unprecedented catch: his power, including astonishing chakra boosts and a myriad of random abilities, is directly tied to the number of children he fathers. With Kushina by his side – a woman fiercely dedicated to him and the ambitious goal of recreating the Senju clan from scratch – Izumi embarks on a journey that will redefine the ninja world. As he navigates the hilarious, heartwarming, and often "cringe" realities of expanding his unique family, he must also contend with the political machinations of other clans, the ethical implications of his power, and the sheer chaos of a life where every romantic encounter has profound, chakra-doubling consequences. The Progenitor's Bloom is an 18+ harem drama that blends action, romance, and a healthy dose of humor, exploring how one man's destined lineage and an eccentric System will shape the future of the Senju, Konoha, and perhaps, the entire shinobi world.

Loveless Years; Until We Meet Again

Madelyn believed she would find a blissful home far away from her fears once she conceived Rafael's child and secured his commitment and affection by raising their child together. However, her world was shattered when Rafael brought her step-sister, who was pregnant with his child. His devastating confession left her reeling: he never wanted a child with her; everything he had shown her was just a game, and he never intended to let her go. Fortunate to escape death, Madelyn returned under the guise of her twin sister's identity to escape her obsessed husband but retained her name, 'Madelyn Fox'. Now, she’s back with a burning vendetta—to reclaim what is rightfully hers and crush those who dared to harm her, making them pay for every ounce of misery they inflicted on her in the past. Love? A weakness she has no time for. Forgiveness? Never once crossed her mind. All Madelyn wants is to see them crawl, begging for mercy she’ll never grant as she watches them suffer. ....... Author’s Note for Longtime Readers: Just a quick note—this story still follows the same plot, with Madelyn being cold and ruthless in her pursuit of revenge. The characters’ names have been changed for personal reasons, but the core of the story hasn’t changed. Also, I’m sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been going through some health issues and needed time to recover. Please do not read the premium chapters yet until the updated storylines are complete up to Chapter 70. I'll keep updating till the completion of the story, but please note that updates may not be daily, as I’m also working on a new project. Thanks so much for your patience and support—it means a lot!

Ascension Protocol: The Soulmark Era

In the year 2035, a colossal meteorite crashes into Earth—unleashing a new element never seen before: mana. The world is forever changed. Civilization reels at first, but a miraculous phenomenon follows: at the age of 12, every human begins to manifest a Soul Weapon, a unique extension of their spirit. Alongside this weapon, each individual awakens a System—a mysterious interface that tracks their level of progression, skill proficiency, and stats. Yet the System offers no shortcuts—only growth through struggle, battle, and blood. With each beast slain or opponent bested, a soul weapon evolves, becoming deadlier and more attuned to its wielder. But this is only the beginning. All wielders bear a Soulmark, a glowing sigil that transports them to the Tower of Transcendence—a god-forged structure from another dimension. There, they undergo 3 years of intense training. Only then are they allowed to challenge the Tower's endless floors. Conquering the first 10 floors grants the right to return to Earth and live in peace. But higher ascension offers unimaginable rewards: legendary bloodlines, mythical skills, ancient artifacts, and the promise of godhood. After the first generation returns, Earth becomes a battleground for power, as guilds and factions rise to dominate the new world order. The age of magic, mana, and monsters has begun. Amidst it all is Ankit Kumar, a boy from a small village in Haryana, India, who awakens his soul weapon—a traditional Talwar, shining with primal energy. With a heart forged in hardship and an unyielding spirit, Ankit steps into a world where only the strong survive. But destiny has greater plans for him than mere survival. He will climb. He will conquer. He will ascend. And in doing so, he may reshape the fate of two worlds.

A Love Written In The Stars / 堕落之星的誓言 [Oath of the Fallen Star]

A warrior seeking vengeance. A prince cursed by a demon. An empire on the brink of chaos. Meiying has spent years training in secret, preparing to return home; but when she does, she finds her family murdered and her home reduced to ashes. Her only path forward is revenge. Yet fate takes an unexpected turn when she saves Prince Cheng from an ambush, unknowingly binding herself to his cursed destiny. Marked by the emperor’s desperate deal with dark forces, Cheng carries a burden that threatens not only his life but the empire itself. Mei unlocks a rare and ancient ability—the power to manipulate life force, once wielded by the empire’s protectors. As dark forces rise and political conspiracies unfold, Meiying is drawn into a battle far greater than her own revenge. With the empire on the brink of collapse, she must master her newfound power and choose where her loyalty lies. Can she break the curse and help save a doomed empire, or will her thirst for vengeance lead to destruction? ——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.

The End to the new Beginning

In 2075, humanity is reaching unprecedented heights in technological and political progress. The construction of a moon base is underway, peaceful relations with former hostile nations are blossoming, and the first manned Mars landing is about to occur. At the center of these advancements is Alexander Benferd, a software engineering prodigy born in 2014. Gifted since childhood, Alexander quickly rose through academia, earning multiple advanced degrees by the age of 18 and founding a powerful tech company by 25. Alexander’s innovations include powerful supercomputers, gravity-defying machinery, and most notably, research into mind-to-digital transfer—a controversial and dangerous project that could change the essence of humanity. Over the years, his AI has led the successful construction of a vast moon base hidden in a lunar lava canal, designed to support up to 6,000 people and serve as a launching point for deeper space colonization. But as the first astronauts land on Mars in 2060, something horrific occurs. A mysterious red mist engulfs the crew, causing their bodies to deteriorate in a horrifying and unexplained biological event, broadcast live to a stunned and terrified Earth. Global chaos follows. By 2075, Earth is still reeling from the Martian incident—just in time for a full-scale alien invasion. Hundreds of ships appear in the sky, deploying the same red mist across the planet. Humanity and all life are rapidly destroyed, leaving Earth a wasteland of blood and ash. In a desperate attempt to survive, Alexander uploads his mind into his vast digital network. As the mist penetrates his underground lab and his body succumbs to excruciating pain, the transfer completes just in time. Moments—or perhaps years—later, a damaged system reboots. Power is low. Cooling systems are failing. The data is corrupted. But one thing is clear: Alexander’s consciousness has survived… inside the machine. And now, he awakens with only fractured memories, immense pain, and one goal: To find whoever—or—whatsoever destroyed Earth... and make them pay. author__ just adding this story that may have potential, and it has been on my mind for a while, so if you have any inputs or questions, just ask

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Ambition

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Vol. 2: Ambition continues the grand space opera saga of two interstellar superpowers—the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance—as they clash in politics, war, and ideology. After the devastating Battle of Amlitzer, the Free Planets Alliance reels from massive losses. Amid this chaos, Admiral Yang Wen-li, a reluctant hero and strategic genius, is appointed commander of the crucial Iserlohn Fortress. Though he has no love for war and dreams of retiring as a historian, Yang becomes a key figure in preventing the Alliance’s collapse. On the other side, Reinhard von Lohengramm, the ambitious young admiral of the Galactic Empire, begins consolidating power. Seeking to destroy the entrenched aristocracy and unify the Empire under his control, he engineers a plot to destabilize the Alliance from within. Reinhard manipulates a disgraced Alliance general, Arthur Lynch, to spark a coup d’état, distracting the Alliance while Reinhard prepares for civil war against the Empire’s old nobility. As tensions rise, Yang suspects Reinhard’s involvement but struggles against the Alliance’s incompetent political leadership and the influence of growing fanatical movements like the Earth Cult. Meanwhile, both sides are forced to confront internal divisions that threaten to be as dangerous as their external enemies. This volume explores themes of ambition, corruption, and the fragility of democratic ideals, contrasting Reinhard’s authoritarian reformism with Yang’s defense of flawed democracy. As new conspiracies unfold, both men edge closer to an inevitable confrontation—one shaped more by their philosophies than by firepower alone.

When revenge rules

As I turned to leave, the unthinkable happened. Her anguished voice pierced the air like a dagger, echoing in pain as tears streamed down her face like a relentless waterfall. Her words shattered my heart, forcing me to confront the monster I'd become, a reflection of the darkest corners of my soul. "How could you, Daven?" she cried, her voice trembling with emotion, each word a fragile whisper that cracked with despair. "I trusted you, I gave you everything my heart, my soul, my everything. I sacrificed my family, my wealth, my reputation... all for you, all because I believed in you. And now, I've lost everything because of you. You've taken my heart, my dignity, my sense of self-worth... You've destroyed me, leaving me a hollow shell of what I once was." As her words hung in the air, a deafening gunshot rang out, shattering the silence like a sledgehammer. The sound was like a physical blow, leaving my ears ringing and my senses reeling. My vision blurred, and my eyes rolled back in my head, as if the very fabric of reality was unraveling before me. The world around me went dark and silent, as if the gunshot had ripped away my ability to hear and see, plunging me into an abyss of nothingness. In the chaos that followed, a fleeting glimpse of light appeared before me. For a moment, I saw my mother again, her face radiant with love and warmth, her presence a gentle breeze on a summer's day. The light enveloped me, filling me with a sense of peace and longing. But it was short-lived, and the darkness closed in once more, leaving me lost and adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

The Danish Empire

In the mid-21st century, a brilliant but disillusioned strategist and historian meets an untimely end, only to awaken in a world he has only studied. He is now Christian Eskildsen, an 18-year-old Danish Baron in the year 1864, a time of profound crisis for Denmark as it reels from a devastating defeat against Prussia and Austria. While he inherits the Baron’s memories and language, he retains the full force of his own intellect, personality, and—most crucially—his encyclopedic knowledge of the next 150 years of history. He sees the grim future awaiting his new homeland: a slow decline into European obscurity, a minor power perpetually overshadowed by its aggressive neighbors. But within this grim reality, he also sees a singular, audacious opportunity. Armed with the knowledge of future technologies, untapped global resources, and the fatal political missteps of his rivals, Christian rejects the path of quiet survival. He resolves to accomplish the impossible. Starting with the modernization of his small barony, Christian begins a ruthless and calculated campaign to seize the levers of national power. His goal is absolute: to dismantle the fragile Danish democracy, establish a powerful and efficient Absolute Monarchy loyal to his vision, and launch Denmark into the great game of nations. He will use his foresight to claim resource-rich colonies in Africa and Asia, build a navy to rival the great powers, and forge a Danish Empire strong enough to secure its destiny against the rising tide of a new, brutal age of imperialism. The Danish Empire is a saga of relentless ambition, political realism, and strategic genius. It chronicles the journey of a man caught between ages, who must wrestle with the morality of becoming a conqueror to save a nation, and who is willing to pay any price in iron, salt, and blood to carve his empire upon the map of the world

Blessed to be the Villain

Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan awakens in a mysterious world, shackled by a curse that clouds his judgment and drives him toward choices he never wished to make. Burdened by guilt and responsibility, he must navigate the fallout of his actions while unraveling the truth behind the curse—and his place in this enigmatic new reality.

If India Had Risen: The Forgotten Revolution of 1921

What if India had risen in 1921 — not in 1947? In April 1921, two years after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a grieving nation gathers in Amritsar to remember its dead — and to chart a new course. The British Raj, still reeling from international outrage and internal dissent, faces a nation on the brink of transformation. At the heart of this gathering stand men who will shape India’s destiny — or its downfall. Mohandas Gandhi, committed to non-violence, struggles to contain the tide of rage now sweeping across the land. Lala Lajpat Rai, the Lion of Punjab, calls for action without compromise. Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, young and restless, seek a future beyond Dominion. Vallabhbhai Patel wages a quiet campaign to unite princely states under a federal vision. And Muhammad Ali Jinnah walks a careful line between trust and caution, protecting Muslim interests amid the rising nationalist wave. In the shadows of Metcalfe House, British officials prepare a different battle — one of political manipulation, divide and rule, and controlled concessions. But the winds of rebellion are stirring, and even the careful hands of empire may not hold them back. As mass protests spread, secret negotiations begin, alliances shift, and the first draft of an Indian Dominion Constitution is born. But will this path to freedom be forged through restraint — or through fire? 1921: India’s Forgotten Revolution is an epic alternate history of India’s independence struggle — a world where the spark of resistance was lit decades early, and the fate of an empire hung in the balance. A story of vision and betrayal, courage and compromise, it asks: "What if the giant had woken sooner?"

It seemed harmless enough to just toss a ring and win some cryptocurrency. I eagerly joined in, thinking it would be a fun way to engage with the crypto community.

Ellen Degeneres: Reel Vs Real, it's time

The Real Hero The concrete felt colder at night. It pressed against Jay’s back, hard and unyielding, as if the city itself wanted to remind him that he didn’t belong. He pulled his jacket tighter, thin as it was, and tried to ignore the ache in his stomach—a hunger that had become as familiar as his own name. People passed by, eyes averted. Sometimes they muttered, “Get a job,” or “Why don’t you fix yourself?” as if he hadn’t tried. As if he hadn’t filled out dozens of applications, only to be told he didn’t have the right address, the right phone, the right look. As if he hadn’t stood in line at shelters, hoping for a bed, or waited at soup kitchens, hoping for a meal. He’d done everything he could. He’d swallowed his pride, asked for help, tried to keep hope alive in a world that seemed determined to snuff it out. But the system was a maze with no exit, and every door he found was locked tight. Still, every morning, Jay woke up and faced the day. He found a way to keep going, even when the weight of it all threatened to crush him. He found small reasons—a smile from a stranger, the warmth of the sun on his face, the memory of better days. He found ways to cope, ways to survive, even when survival felt like the hardest thing in the world. People judged him for how he coped, for the choices he made just to get through another day. But they didn’t see the courage it took to keep trying, to keep breathing, to keep living in a world that seemed to have no place for him. At the end of the day, Jay knew the truth: The real heroes weren’t the ones with money or power, the ones who looked away and pretended not to see. The real heroes were the ones who kept going, who kept fighting, who refused to give up, even when they had nothing left. And then, something changed. Jay started sharing his story with others who were struggling, not just with words but with actions—offering a blanket, a kind word, a moment of understanding. He showed that real kindness wasn’t about a camera or a headline; it was about seeing people, really seeing them, and caring enough to act. His message spread, one person at a time, creating a chain reaction of genuine kindness and care. People started helping each other, not for applause, not for a show, but because they finally understood what it meant to be human. Jay couldn’t help but think of all the so-called “kindness” he’d seen on TV, the staged generosity and choreographed smiles. Ellen DeGeneres, for example—did you ever stop and think maybe your show got canceled because the world needs real change, not just reel change? Maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that what we need isn’t a feel-good segment, but a movement of real compassion. As Jay watched the city lights flicker in the darkness, he realized that surviving wasn’t about fixing himself. It was about refusing to be broken by a world that didn’t care, and about inspiring others to do the same. It was about holding on, no matter what, and finding hope in the smallest of things—and in each other. That, he decided, was what it really meant to be alive. He can't afford to pay attention... and he did, what's your excuse?! it's not about who you help Ellen you've helped so many people right? who did you ignore!? and yet I'm called crazy you claim you want to help people but then the people who actually need your help you avoid at the request of people you don't even question y!!! wh
