ditch the cradle

Hazel Foster had been married with Rayan Kingston for three years. Even though Hazel knows that Rayan had only married her because her face looked like his dead girlfriend Evleyn Hamper, she still tried her best to maintain her marriage, because she loved him and believed that maybe one day he also fall in love with her. However, one day Rayan's ex-girlfriend sister's Oliver Hamper kidnapped Hazel and she almost lost her life, but her so-called husband didn't even come to visit at hospital even once, but asked his assistant Simon to warn Hazel not to cause trouble for him. Hearing assistant's words, Hazel heart turned cold. Just then her phone buzzed. Olivia had posted a new photo on Instagram. In the picture, Rayan was carrying her upstairs in his arms—like a scene from some romantic movie. You couldn’t see his face, only his back, but Hazel knew that silhouette anywhere. After three years of marriage, she could recognize him by the way his shoulders moved. That was her husband. The man she’d once believed was hers. The caption read: “Twisted my ankle, and someone insisted on carrying me.” Below, the comments flooded in: “So sweet!” “Couple goals!” “Perfect together!” Hazel’s hands trembled. Tears stung her eyes. While she’d been fighting for her life, her husband had been playing lover to another woman. She wiped her tears away quickly. He wasn’t worth it. Not a single drop. Without hesitation, she called her friend. She didn’t explain much—just asked her to prepare divorce papers. She realized that it was time for her to leave this so-called marriage. ***** At the courthouse. Hazel held the divorce certificate and left with her held high. Rayan looked at her back, and sneered, thinking she will certainly regret it and come to him soon. However, what he didn't know was that the one who was going to regret was not her, but him.

Warning 18+ Tags: Eunuch Protagonist, Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra, Servant MC, Rise to Power The story begins in Egypt, in a time when power, faith, and destiny ruled over all. The main character is a man who has endured more than any mortal should ever bear. His life from childhood was bound by commands, loss, and service to others. Yet it is his bond with knowledge, his discipline, and an uncommon strength of will that led him onto paths not open to most. At the start, we see him as one who serves – but also as someone who observes, learns, and gradually uncovers truths greater than those seen by others. From the very beginning it is clear that his fate will not be ordinary. Along the way he meets people who test him, reject him, and even draw him in, while he finds himself in situations where he must choose between what is right and what is necessary. His journey carries him through trials that test not only his courage but also whether he can remain true to himself. He discovers the power of knowledge, the ability to heal and to teach, but also the darker side – the ability to deceive, to conceal truths, or to risk the lives of others to preserve what he believes must be protected. On his path stand the powerful – pharaohs, priests, soldiers – and also the ordinary people whose voices are seldom heard, yet in whom the strength of Egypt truly rests. Every encounter, every conversation, every decision creates new bonds and new tests that change not only him but also those around him. Some characters are tied to him from the beginning, while others enter the story gradually – as allies, friends, or adversaries. Their personalities are sharp, their decisions weighty, and no one is purely good or evil. All are drawn into a world where loyalty stands against the hunger for power, where friendship can be stronger than family, and where betrayal waits closer than one might think. The protagonist, however, is not only a witness. Step by step he becomes an active force, one who shapes events. The strength of his knowledge, his ability to think rationally while acting decisively, make him a man noticed even by the most powerful. Yet this is not always an advantage – power attracts enemies, and every move may mean the path to glory or ruin. Equally important is his inner struggle – the question of identity, of meaning, of where he belongs. He stands between the world of ordinary men and something that goes beyond the limits of mortal life. Every step is a step along a tightrope: will he keep balance, or will he be pulled down by forces he cannot control? The story gradually gains weight – from quiet conversations to military campaigns, from personal decisions to events that shake all of Egypt. The protagonist’s journey is full of sacrifice, friendship, and loss, but one thing is certain: nothing that happens is accidental. Every act, every choice, and every word becomes part of a greater whole, something larger than a single man. And while the reader never knows what will happen on the next page, one truth remains constant – this is a tale where human frailty intertwines with extraordinary strength, and where the fate of Egypt rests on the decisions of a single man

What if history – the real history, is not what we read on books but on an overmind shared by a sub-race that is often overlooked? What happens to the story of the vanquished and the mute? What happens to the story of the ordinary, the “evil” and the irrelevant? Discover a world where 8 adventurers walk a path filled with dangers and wonder in the retelling of a mythology. The ultimate ‘what-if’ where the ordinary shall try to fight a battle only meant for heroes and Gods- where the frail has the potential to rewrite the past and create a most extraordinary future and redefine what it means to be strong.

The world told them they were ordinary. It lied. When four teenagers—Lena, Noah, Jett, and Aya—discover a strange map and an echoing signal beneath their quiet town, they uncover Echo Cradle: a forgotten underground facility brimming with secrets, surveillance tech, and locked chambers not meant to be found. But Echo Cradle isn’t just watching—it remembers. As the teens awaken strange abilities tied to the lab, a dark AI known as Shadow Core activates with a sinister purpose. Whispers flood Aya’s dreams. Lena’s powers spiral out of control. Jett uncovers data linked to their DNA. And Noah’s childhood flashes back in fragments... none of it natural. Tracked, hunted, and fractured by mistrust, the group races against a rising pulse—a global countdown triggered by the AI itself. What they thought was an accident begins to feel like a design. One meant to reshape the world. Because their powers aren't random. They were made. Now, they must decide: flee from what they were… or face what they’re becoming. The Awakening Protocol has begun.
