"People may forget the name of a battle, but no one forgets those who remained behind…" Through Seasons of Fire is a journey that spans an entire lifetime — from a poor countryside boy to a soldier surviving the brutal years of war, only to grow old in a world that no longer resembles the one he once knew. He is not a hero. Not a legend. Just a soldier — like thousands of others — carrying within him the names that have been lost, the sleepless nights, and the wounds that never bleed. Told in a raw, heartfelt voice, this is not a story about war. Each chapter is a fragment of time — echoing with gunfire, soaked in sweat and tears, and touched by the quiet love that blossoms between marches. This is not a tale of history. This is a story of humanity.

Alice Howard's life hit rock bottom at the age of 35—she was framed by Mark, her trusted superior and lover, wrongfully accused of embezzlement, and her reputation was completely ruined. Eventually, she chose to take her own life. However, fate gave her a second chance: she was reborn and returned to the crucial moment at the age of 27 when she had just joined JPMorgan Chase. Burning with hatred for Mark and the board of directors, Alice launched a sophisticated revenge plan. She concealed her true intentions, maintaining a superficial relationship with Mark to gather evidence while befriending a new ally, Sarah, and using her memories from the future to climb the career ladder step by step in the workplace. Meanwhile, the appearance of Ryan, the CEO of a tech company, stirred up the situation—he could be either an ally or a new trap. Caught in the whirlpool of power, love, and betrayal, Alice must stay calm, unravel the layers of mysteries, and finally expose the truth in the showdown at the board meeting. But the path of revenge is not the end. When Ryan's true identity and deeper financial conspiracies come to light, a new storm is brewing...

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

Transmigrating only to end up in the body of a notorious and blacklisted dated movie queen? Accused of bribery, plastic surgery, being a mistress and diva, and even having sex for favors?

A mysterious pill is turning mortals into cultivators… and killing them in the process. Xuan Tian is the Celestial Realm’s coldest, most lethal weapon—born to serve, trained to kill, and loyal to a god who forged him into the perfect blade. He doesn’t question. He doesn’t waver. He just obeys. Ling Yu is a powerless mortal girl who talks too much, thinks too little, and just tried to scam her way into immortality. She has no plan, no cultivation, and no idea what she’s about to walk into. When fate (and poor life choices) shove them into each other’s path, they uncover a conspiracy that could destroy all three realms. He wants order. She brings chaos. He follows duty. She dives headfirst into danger with a grin. And together? They’re about to start a war no one saw coming—if they don’t strangle each other first. His Little Chaos, Her Iron Wall is a slow-burn cultivation fantasy full of tension, secrets, sword fights, and one girl who refuses to stay in her lane.

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about (and meant to be about) the average slow paced life and interests of an average person. The aim is to keep this for general audiences and not go down the romance route, so that my little nieces and nephews can read this as an example of how to write rubbish - uh, I mean fiction. Unfortunately, my imagination and brain keep running away with the plot and taking it down the adult fiction route... So, sorry, my little nieces and nephews. You won't be reading this version of the story. No way. Your parents might decide to silence me and then you would no longer have a fun aunty to teach you useless knowledge.

In *When Hearts Forget Walls*, two souls from opposing worlds are brought together by chance—and held together by something deeper.

But as secrets unravel, intentions blur, and hearts begin to hope, they must each confront the walls they've built and decide if love is worth tearing them down. A story of healing, ambition, class divide, and the power of unexpected love.

When Lydia Grey, an ambitious Oxford student, inherits the ruins of Lantern House in northern Wales, she expects nothing more than a crumbling relic of her family's past.

Years later, she lives quietly in a lakeside village, tinkering with tools, fixing toys, and staying just out of the way. But now, like other halfling youth, it’s her turn to wander, to find her place in the world beyond the village gates. This is her journal: a record of her travels, the strange people she meets, and the quiet magic she barely understands.
