Whispers Beneath

In a world where love is narrowed down to mere societal expectation and in the quest to fulfill duties, the identity is buried, Whispers Beneath sheds light on Amara and her internal chaos, a woman torn between a life prescribed to her and one that she has recurrently been afraid to accept. Amara is a woman who seems to have followed the right path all along. In a patriarchal world, she finds solace in the love of her husband, Daniel, beneath the hope that such a conventional life would appease the storm raging within her heart. Still, Amara intuitively feels incomplete, it is a reality that she has intentionally evaded. Just as she begins to adjust to the path that she has taken, the surprise reappearance of her figure from the past Farida, reverses the clock and brings back the events that Amara valiantly sought to erase. In the course of reconciling with the past and Farida, Amara relives the agony of self-denial that had occasioned the schism. Stuck between the anguish of upbringing, allegiance to God, and the pressure from the society, she is posed with a choice of continuing to live a deceptive life or incurring the risk of being genuine. Whispers Beneath is a heart-breaking story that evokes emotion through an unforgiving plot which highlights the complexities of self-discovery, forbidden love, and tough choices. In this story, romance is a dual-edged sword, both binding and freeing, and Amara’s decision is such that will change not only her life, but the lives of everyone around her as well. Will Amara manage to break the shackles of the unuttered whispers beneath her heart that chooses to imprison her or does she possess the courage to live her life as she wills?

THE PART OF NO RETURN : FIRST HUMAN EMPIRE

In a world on the brink of annihilation, Aarav Sharma is given a second chance—one month before Earth faces a disaster that will push humanity to its very limits. Reborn into a timeline where the countdown to extinction has already begun, Aarav carries the memories of his first life, where he witnessed the fall of cities, the deaths of countless comrades, and the collapse of everything he fought to protect. But this time, he’s not alone. A mysterious system has embedded itself within his mind, offering him blueprints of advanced technologies—spaceships, battleships, and human machines capable of defending Earth against the horrors that lurk beyond the stars. With these tools, Aarav embarks on a desperate journey to rewrite the fate of humanity. As he races against time, Aarav uncovers secret organizations that have operated in the shadows for centuries—Shadow Guardians, Space Guardians, and the Human Alliance, among others. Each holds a piece of the puzzle, but gathering them together will require more than just intellect; it will demand sacrifices, betrayals, and the courage to face the unknown. Aarav’s quest is fraught with danger as he encounters hostile alien races, political intrigue among Earth’s nations, and the ever-present shadow of his past failures. Alongside a growing band of allies—including a romantic harem of fierce and intelligent women—he must navigate the treacherous path to survival. But every victory comes at a cost, and the weight of his comrades’ deaths bears down on him with every step. With the clock ticking, Aarav must make impossible choices—choices that will either save humanity or doom it forever. For this is the part of no return, and the future of multiple galaxies hangs in the balance. Will Aarav succeed in forging a new destiny for humankind, or will the darkness consume them all? The journey has just begun, and the stakes have never been higher.

Flashes Of Oblivion

--- **Glimmers of Oblivion** Aruma Itzel was an ordinary 18-year-old until the day an immense clock appeared in the sky, counting down from 1 hour. In a world consumed by uncertainty, Aruma is randomly chosen for a deadly test: to survive a dimensional dungeon filled with multiple floors, each with its own unique challenges and terrifying creatures. With each floor, Aruma faces increasingly powerful enemies, from swarms of giant insects to frozen beasts and masters of dark arts. As he progresses, he uncovers abilities and strengths he never imagined, relying on his ingenuity and will to endure. The live broadcast of his battles allows the world to watch and comment in real time, giving him the support of strangers and the love of his family, but also the scorn and ridicule of his opponents. Guided by an enigmatic system that rewards him with invaluable skills and items, Aruma explores worlds filled with illusions, powerful creatures, and complex mental challenges. But as he climbs, he realizes that his enemies are not limited to the dungeon itself; other warriors, representatives of different planets and dimensions, also fight to survive, seeing each other as rivals. Amid alliances, betrayals, epic battles, and moments of personal discovery, Aruma learns that in this life-or-death game, true strength is not always found in skill or power, but in the courage to face the unknown and the hope for a future that, though uncertain, still shines before him. Will Aruma overcome the dungeon’s challenges and return home? Or, like so many before him, will he become just another forgotten glimmer in the cruel machinery of an unforgiving game?

SYSTEM ONLINE: dawn of a new era

Imagine a gamer, so skilled he bends reality itself (or so he thought). One moment he's conquering virtual worlds, the next, he is *in* the world. Trapped within the hyper-realistic game, he faces foes far more terrifying than any pixelated monster, forbidden magic, dark powers, and a looming darkness that threatens to consume not just his avatar, but his very soul.

How'd he know that he was there for 3 hours?, after sitting for a while, a digital clock suddenly appeared and what confused yet scared him, was the fact that the clock seemed to follow him everywhere he went. 30 minutes in, he heard a **PING** sound and a voice suddenly said "System Online- Welcome User 432234!". ________________________________ WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, READ NOW TO FIND OUT MORE!!……… Update between Monday - Friday (seldom Saturday)!!.

His Maddest Craving

She's afraid of the dark, he embodies it. Most say her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loud, cries too much, and smokes like her life depends on it, and in some ways it does. Little do they know, it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. "As long as they were looking at my body, they'd never see what was behind my eyes." No one can see through Aurelia Cabrera's facade—not until he comes along. Some know him as an emotionless player, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. He changed through his girlfriends like they were underwear. But that was only because all the ladies loved the way he played his guitar when he and his rock band, "Zeveira", would perform their electrifying songs on stage. With a tendency to pick order and class as his companion, Alexei "Alex" Morozova has never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never... One autumn night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his arrogance and habit of never taking anything or anyone seriously—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Alexei’s plans had he ever prepared for Aurelia. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, but that can never stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. All along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his frustration, his fascination - and he's been craving this amount of fun for his entire life. She's his maddest craving. PLEASE READ: Dear reader, I know you've been looking for a good novel recently. Well, you're in luck! Good for you! Fry me in a pot of boiling oil if you didn't enjoy this novel when you finish reading the entirety of it. It's extremely good but you may regret reading it. Why? Because it's also extremely sad. You might never recover from this story. So with that being said, if you cry a lot (when it comes to books and movies) and/or are depressed, I will advise you not to read this. I care about you :) And of course, viewer discretion STRONGLY, HIGHLY advised. Happy reading!! **One chapter every day before 20:00 (24-hour clock)**

But that was not the end of his journey. ******* “Hold up.” “What is that infernal noise?” “Oh my goodness! It's driving me crazy! And it's not stopping!” Mordred sprang awake, slamming his fist on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand. 'What in Merlin's Beard is happening!?', he thought when he realized something. Well, a lot of things. First of all. How the heck is he alive? Second. What is a digital alarm? That's when memories that didn't belong to him flooded his head.

The characters may have different personalities from the original ones from the legend. There will also be names that may seem quite familiar as well. The cover image doesn't belong to me.
