A Strange Fate

A Cage of Fate In the hidden valley of Shambhala, sealed behind an invisible barrier woven by divine forces, Vishnu dreams of a world beyond the cage-a place tainted by corruption but teeming with possibility. His son, Bhagya, born under a celestial omen, harbors powers neither divine nor mortal... powers that could fracture reality itself. When prophecy, betrayal, and cosmic law collide, father and son are cast into a trial that stretches across space, memory, and myth. Guided by ancient voices and hunted by truths too dangerous to speak, they face gods, spirits, and the echoes of a corrupted universe. This is the beginning of the end. A story of dharma, dread, and the glitch that defies creation. Will love survive the unraveling of fate?

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVIL FALLS IN LOVE? *** Alice was told that she was cursed. Perhaps she didn't need to be told. It was as clear as day. The only thing she wanted was MONEY. And she would do anything to get it. Even if it meant pretending to be her twin sister to change her fate. For one year. She didn't mind being a fake and marrying the Wildfire Heir. He would barely be around, she had been told. 'He doesn't seem like much trouble,' she had also been told. 'The third son, on the other hand, is crazy. Stay away from him.' 'As for the second son... avoid him at all costs.' 'Do not cross his path.' But she did. She crossed his path. In fact, she went right into his path herself. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the groom was changed at the last minute. To the Second Son! He was as hot as he was cold. A terrifyingly sexy man who looked like the man she always saw in her dreams. Was this all merely a coincidence? But that wasn't all. She hadn't expected pretending to be her sister to be this tough. First of all, she missed a very important detail: her sister was a Lawyer. She, on the other hand, was only familiar with "You have the right to remain silent..." Secondly, her sister was picky. She was vegetarian. She didn't drink. And... she was bullied? And just maybe... there was more to her sudden disappearance. Her life was about to get much more complicated. Especially with those scary blue eyes watching her every move like a predator on a mission. One year. Was the benefit worth it—worth putting her life on the line to deceive the Wildfires? She might die before the year was over. **** "Women like powerful men, Boss. They like to feel powerless when they are with a man." Hades had initially scoffed, but the idea had wormed its way into his mind. So when he saw her coming from the opposite direction, he decided to test this theory on her. Women liked to feel powerless? As soon as she saw him, her gaze sharpened, wondering why that madman was looking at her with a determined glint in his eyes. Should she run away? But he was already in front of her. "What are you—" He scoops Alice off the ground in one swift motion and drapes her over his shoulder like a sack of flour. All shocked eyes turned to the scene, but no one dared say a word, as they froze mid-air. "HADES!! YOU IMBECILE! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" She thrashes wildly, kicking her legs and flailing her arms. Hades, however, remains unfazed, carrying her out of the place with a triumphant smirk. He didn't believe in love theories, but he had a feeling she would be falling in love with him after this. At the other end, three of his underling watched the scene. "I think Lady Boss is enjoying it. She looks… happy." One noted. The other underling tried to stare intently at Alice's upside-down face. "I think so... I've never seen her look so bubbly around the boss." The third underling was watching, slack-jawed. He facepalmed dramatically. This wasn't what he meant when he told them women liked to feel powerless. Meanwhile, Alice... (Still screaming) *** EXCERPT II: "She is not answering your calls and told you to STOP calling her. Boss, I think your little bride might be mad at you." He snorted. "You are so clueless." "What's your insight, Boss?" "If she keeps rejecting my calls, it only means one thing..." They all leaned closer to hear his powerful insight. "She wants my physical presence," he said with a smug look. One of them wanted to say he didn't think so, but he was too scared to say anything. "Should I go. Should I not go?" He contemplated with a bored look on his face. "GRANT HER WISH, BOSS!" The other clueless henchmen echoed passionately. He smirked. "If you say so," and then he stood up. "Get the car." **** Pleasee add to your library. A bit of dark and fluffy romance. 18+ Comedic. Makes you sit in the edge as Alice tries her best to never get caught (quite futile) See you in the comment section!

A boy has no luck with his love life. After being led on for so many years, he ends up being rejected upon confessing. He finds no reason to live and decides to end it all. Drowning himself in a river, he wakes up and finds himself by a pond. Hearing strange voices, but surprisingly, he understood the language. They seemed to be coming to his aid, which he didn't want, but was too weak to move. His sight gets dimmer each passing second, until he losses consciousness. Waking up, he meets himself in a strangely decorated room. He later on realizes that he was in another era. Surprised he had a second chance at life, in a new body and a new place, he decides to live the best of his life. But even in a new body, the women of this era also reject him. He then decides to help the host of the body complete his missions, since he inherited the host's memories, so he could live a good life with no issues. But to do that, he needed help from someone more powerful than he was. And he seemed to find them with ease. "But wait, why won't they stop staring at me?"

"In the shadows of Martin's College, secrets lurk and darkness reigns. Evelyn Smith's life is forever changed when she falls for a vampire, but their love is forbidden. As she navigates a world of supernatural entities, ghostly apparitions, and ancient curses, Evelyn must confront the darkness within herself and the evil forces that threaten to destroy everything she holds dear." ******* "I'd rather die than let you go, but death might not be enough to keep me from you."

Ellian woke up in the middle of a quiet field. No name. No memories. No idea where he came from or who he was. Only one thing echoed in his mind a shadowy figure, standing beneath a broken sky. Now he lives in a strange city, surrounded by people he barely knows, pretending to be someone he’s not. But nothing about this new life feels real. Every night, dreams pull him into places that shouldn’t exist. Every day, something inside him whispers that he’s forgetting something important. Something dangerous. And then it begins. A sound no one else hears. A feeling of being watched. A place that draws him in, as if it’s waiting. As if it remembers him. The deeper he searches, the more questions appear. Why is he here? Why does the world around him feel... incomplete? And what is hiding beneath the surface of this peaceful town? He doesn’t know the answers yet. But the moment he starts looking, everything begins to change. This is a story about remembering what should have stayed forgotten. And once the truth starts to wake, it never sleeps again.

An, a young writer with a broken past, moves to a strange city hoping to start over. But life takes an unexpected turn when she runs into Khánh—the man who once left her without a word. Their sudden reunion stirs up memories, questions, and unhealed wounds she thought she had long buried. She, who had stopped writing, begins again. At first, with hesitation. Then with truth. Digging through old letters she never sent, An starts to tell her story—not just on paper, but to herself. A story without names. A story about letting go, not out of forgetting, but out of understanding. Khánh doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He doesn’t explain. But he shows up—with silence, with presence, and one day, with a blank notebook—inviting her to finish the story however she wants. Their meetings aren’t about rekindling love, but about quietly acknowledging the scars they both carry. Between conversations left unfinished and pages slowly filled, they learn: some stories are not meant to return to the past, only to be understood, and then released. This is not a tale of reconciliation. It’s a quiet journey of healing—through words, through silence, and through the kind of love that doesn’t need to stay to be real.

A meteor crashes to Earth — but it's no rock. It’s a boy. Silent. Unmoving. Unfathomable. As Earth’s heroes and armies prepare to strike, they soon realize he’s not an invader… he’s something far older. Far greater. His name is Thraxa — a being of immense power who hasn’t awakened. Not even his own people know why. And beings beyond the stars are starting to take notice. The boy is only the beginning.

"How did a perfectly fine magic world invested by ghosts?" Aya looked at the ghosts in front of her silently and raised her hand to cast a spell. She came to the past and wanted to change the tragedy written in the history books. But how did these ghosts come with her too? Ah, will she cause early destruction of the world? Uh... ... "Teacher, if I tell you that I didn't mean it, would you stop being angry?" Aya trembled when she looked at the man in front of her. She didn't meant to offend him! "Oh?" Her teacher looks back and smiled faintly. Did she think she could escape after provoking him? "Ah, ah, ah...." Aya swore that she didn't mean to provoke her young teacher. But it seemed that it was inevitable? QAQ

Waking up in a luxury hotel suite was never part of Rayna Kapoor’s weekend plan—especially not tangled in high-thread-count sheets with a headache, no memory of the night before, and the unsettling sense that she may have made a very… intimate decision. But nothing prepares her for what—or who—walks through the door next. Dressed in a tailored suit, holding two coffees like he’s walked out of a billionaire romance novel, is a man she doesn’t recognize… but can’t stop staring at. He’s gorgeous. Calm. Unapologetically confident. And apparently? Her one-night stand. As reality collides with fantasy, Rayna is pulled into a whirlwind of miscommunications, magnetic chemistry, and an offer that turns one impulsive night into something far more complicated. Because the man she slept with isn’t just any stranger—he's connected to a world she swore never to step into again. Now, with her heart at stake and her sanity hanging by a designer thread, Rayna must figure out what happens when you mix a messy past, a mysterious man, and one dangerously unforgettable night. Steamy, smart, and emotionally charged, Strange One Night Stand is a sizzling romance about second chances, unexpected sparks, and the blurry line between dreams and reality.

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic event 39 years ago, humanity's remnants have clustered into fortified cities and bustling markets behind towering walls, using a mysterious power known as "Force" to fend off deadly creatures that emerged from the chaos. Among these survivors is a boy, a resident of a city hidden behind these walls. This boy lives a relatively peaceful life with his best friend until an unknown incident engulfs his city in flames, leaving it in ruins. The boy's best friend perishes in the catastrophe, and he himself suffers grievous injuries, seemingly fatal. Miraculously, despite being burned, crushed, and losing copious amounts of blood, the boy clings to life through sheer willpower and perhaps a deeper connection to the Force than he ever realized. Driven by a burning desire for revenge and answers, he embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the destruction of his city and the forces at play. As he journeys through the dangerous lands outside the walls, he encounters allies and enemies, each with their own stories of survival and loss. The boy's life transforms as he learns to harness the true potential of the Force, facing trials that test his resolve and uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of the world and the catastrophe that changed it forever. His path of vengeance becomes one of discovery, leading him to confront the creatures and shadowy figures responsible for the devastation, and ultimately, to redefine his purpose in a world on the brink of another upheaval.

“.... Am I even allowed to die?” . . . Ever lived a life of no control? Dina, an intersex, with a second personality that was obsessed with a man who would rather have nothing to do with her, longed for death every passing day of her life. Her stalkerish behavior was finally exposed, and her social life, the only thing she had going, crumbled. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she looked up into the sky and muttered what would be her last words: “If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?” She chuckled. Guess she'd never know. . . . “Welcome, Geraldina, to The Bureau of Souls.” The man spoke words she had only ever heard in fiction. He spoke of transmigration. He spoke of capturing the heart of another. He promised to give her freedom. He promised that even during the duration of her ‘job,’ she would have her free will. He promised… to get rid of it. In exchange for her soul. She agreed. Despite everything, she still had a question she wanted an answer to. [If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?] Extra: — This novel will be completely free from beginning to end, so dear readers, please support me with comments and ratings! Please! — While there may or may not be Patreon deals, they won’t ever place free readers at a disadvantage. I promise not to be greedy! — I'm always open to suggestions from my readers, so tell me anything you want to see~. — You can read the first version, This Transmigration Seems Somewhat Strange, but it’s a bit of a mess and will be vastly different from this one. — Serious themes will be explored here, and I’ll handle each with care. Just know: the MC isn’t exactly a good person—she’s desperate, and that desperation will show. — The main character’s gender is... ambiguous, yet very clear. Although she’s intersex, she is female— but transmigrates as male. I’ll alternate between “she” and “he”: “she” for the MC herself, and “he” for the identities she possesses. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best not to leave you too confounded. ENJOY! And do demand more! As an author, it's my ultimate pleasure to please yah!

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: Sorry, everyone.

For ten long years, Tatsuya Fukushu lived through hell. Every day, he was beaten. Every day, he was mocked. Every day, he was reminded that the world didn’t want someone like him. The cruelty of his classmates became routine—their fists, their words, their laughter. He endured it all in silence, believing that someday it would end. That someday, if he just kept going, peace would come. But peace never came. One day, something inside him shattered. And in a blind, terrifying moment of rage, he killed them—the three bullies who tormented him for a decade. His hands were stained. His heart, empty. He thought he would finally die. He wanted to die. Instead, he woke up in another world. A world of magic, kingdoms, and ancient prophecy. A world where people could fly, summon fire, and carve mountains with a sword. A world that felt too alive for someone as broken as him. Tatsuya didn’t rejoice at the second chance. He hated it. Hated the sky, the air, the mana that pulsed through him. He wanted silence. He wanted peace. And most of all—he wanted to disappear. But fate is rarely kind. A strange knight named Paul found him, battered and aimless. He claimed there was a prophecy. That someone like Tatsuya had been foretold. Tatsuya didn’t believe a word of it. He didn’t trust him. Why should he? But Paul didn’t ask him to believe. He simply trained him—day after day, sword in hand, never holding back. There were no kind words, only discipline. No promises, only purpose. And slowly, through blood and sweat, Tatsuya began to understand. Trust wasn’t something that came from words. It came from action. And maybe, just maybe… He wasn’t alone anymore.

I looked at him with utter contempt, my gaze as cold as frost spreading across my face: “You filthy poultry, what part of you thinks you're worthy of me?” I spat each word with biting clarity, holding nothing back. No matter how beautiful the human form he wore, he was still just a feathered beast at heart, no better than the chickens and ducks outside. The man before me was breathtakingly handsome, his sharp eyes like a hawk’s. Yet he didn’t flare up in anger. Instead, he let out a cold, mocking smile. Raising one hand, he gripped my chin tightly, eyes blazing like fire: “I am a Phoenix,” he growled: “King of all living things! And you dare compare me to common barnyard fowl? Do you want me to snap your neck right here?” But I didn’t flinch. Instead, I met his fury with a calm, deliberate smirk: “Go ahead. It’s not like you’ve ever had the guts to follow through.” He went silent for a few seconds, the tension thick between us. Then, all of a sudden, he released my chin, only to pull me into his arms, holding me so tightly it felt like he was afraid I might vanish. His voice dropped, no longer seething with rage, but laced with a strange tenderness: “Could you stop being so stubborn? I’ve given you everything... What more do I need to do to make you happy?” His embrace tightened again, desperate and trembling. As if letting go, even a little, would cause me to disappear. In his eyes, there was helplessness, pain, and something else rising to the surface, something raw, unnamed, and overpowering.
