Tushar_Writer
When Riaan, a brooding young photographer, arrives in Udaipur on a cryptic commission, he expects grandeur, what he finds is the haunting Haveli of Devika Rana: widow of a late minister, a woman shrouded in silk and whispers, and a mansion heavy with secrets. Devika is no ordinary recluse. Seductive, sharp, and in control of everything around her especially the delicate Meher, a barefoot girl whose innocence hides a growing unrest. As Riaan is pulled deeper into the labyrinth of the Haveli, he uncovers more than what he came to photograph: obsession, possession, and a past soaked in betrayal. Between candlelit glances, forbidden touches, and rooms that remember too much, Riaan must choose escape the house and its ghosts, or surrender to the dangerous heat behind her eyes. In this tale of love twisted with power, seduction cloaked in secrets, and pasts that won’t stay buried desire has a cost, and someone always pays.

Douluo:Ibong Adarna: Rise of the Phoenix Clan

Synopsis: What happens when the "God of Soul Masters" is not a hypocrite hidden behind "Hidden Weapons," but a Sovereign who rules through the absolute logic of the Flow? Lakan Diwa, a master of ancient martial arts and alchemy from Earth, is reborn into the Douluo Continent. Carrying the spirit of the Adarna Phoenix and armed with the Eyes of the Origin God, Lakan sees the world for what it truly is: a decaying system of arrogant nobles and a "Hero" whose path leads to the stagnation of an entire civilization. While Tang San preaches "justice" while hoarding secrets and practicing double standards, Lakan builds an empire of Meritocracy. He doesn't just cultivate; he innovates. From the Eight-Gate Overdrive to the Octagon Prison, Lakan redefines what it means to be a Spirit Master. He will not sit by as the "Grandmaster’s" flawed theories ruin generations. He will not allow a "Sea God" to freeze the progress of the world for ten thousand years. The Era of the Hidden Weapon is over. The Era of the Sovereign has begun. "Tang San, you speak of 'protecting the weak' while you build weapons that can only be wielded by the elite. You call me a tyrant? I am the one who gave the commoner the 'Flow' to defend himself, while you gave them a needle in the dark." "The 'Grandmaster' claims there are no trash souls, only trash masters. A beautiful lie used to chain geniuses to his mediocre theories. Look at your student, Xiaogang—you didn't choose him for his soul; you chose him for his bloodline. Your hypocrisy is the only 'Theory' you’ve perfected." "In your future, Tang San, the world stagnates under the weight of your 'Divine' ego. In my world, we move. We evolve. We flow. I am not here to join your story; I am here to burn the pages." Hey guys, first time writing. I've read a lot of Douluo fanfics before, so i'd like to try my own. It's a mix with Filipino ancestry, such as anitoism/animism etc. Hope you like it.
