“The circle of ages turns, and life and death are but passing shadows, for eternity remembers not the living nor the dead.” — Eternis 10:6 Have you ever wondered if Gods really exist or are they just a figment of humanity's imagination for hope? If they really exist and aren't just a figment of our imagination, are they benevolent and merciful, or are they indifferent to our sufferings? Arohan, an atheist despised the concept of religion and Gods because of his parent's death. His parents left him wealth beyond measure, so he lived his life the way he desired and did whatever he wanted without caring about the consequences. But everything came crashing down when he was left with two choices; save himself or save the world. What option will a selfish guy like him choose?

In a world fractured by forgotten wars and ancient forces, Eleanor is an anomaly. While the land groans under the weight of its inevitable end, she remains untouched, an eternal presence in a realm where death claims all. The laws of nature bend around her, as she exists beyond the reach of mortality. Sealed away, hunted, or buried in time, she cannot be destroyed. Her immortality is both a blessing and a curse. Born in a forgotten village, Eleanor’s life was once simple, until the mark of something ancient awakened within her. Now, as the world crumbles beneath the weight of forgotten gods and hidden truths, she must lead a fractured humanity toward a future she can no longer fully grasp. But with each passing year, as she stands witness to the collapse of everything she knew, the cost of her eternal existence grows clearer. In a world where the end is inevitable, Eleanor’s path will take her to the very heart of destruction. Will she succumb to the darkness that calls to her, or will she become something far more terrifying than anyone could imagine? Join Eleanor as she faces the price of immortality and the horrors that lurk beyond the veil of time. What to expect: ~ A protagonist who grows from a leader of mortals to a being beyond the comprehension of her world. ~ A unique mythology and power system that blends cosmic horror with deep, world-building exploration. ~ A dark, atmospheric tone with themes of power, corruption, and the cost of immortality. ~ No romance, only the haunting journey of a leader’s descent into divinity. ~ The exploration of madness, transformation, and what it means to be human in the face of cosmic terror. ~ Chapters ranging from 500 to 1,500 words, with a focus on rich storytelling, world-building, and character development. ~ A saga that spans over 1,200 chapters, with each volume charting a new phase of Eleanor’s transformation and the world’s descent into chaos.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, her small revenge became the last saving straw in her drowning life. Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison. So as a coping mechanism, Lauren made it her life mission to teach her family a small lesson by denying her sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for all that she had to endure from them. For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child." But finding out that she was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of her plans.  So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before her "husband" finds out that he has been duped. She needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception? What happens then when she realises that the man that she has been searching for is none other than the very husband that she has been running away from? Will she go and claim him back, or will she continue to let her sister be with him?
