Blurb: A terrible sin committed led to a prophecy. [In the darkest period to come A deformed born in a dungeon To a celestial and a mortal at the darkest hour An innocent soul tainted by the hands of human will walk on this earth to wreak havoc] ....... Women called it the jinxed town. Men called it the cursed road. Children called it the Ghost of Vikramgad. Different names and different tales, but one thing was common among the people. Fear! No pregnant woman takes the insidious road on a new moon day; if they did, death would be inescapable. A signboard with 'Road closed on full moon day' is just for the show because the cursed highway knows to lure its prey. When the Savvy, sharp-witted CBI officer is assigned to Vikramgad's case, he ends up in a web of the town's mystery along with his pregnant wife. Will he be able to protect his wife until the next new moon and the next? will her life end up in the same fate as others? or will her curious nature bring more mysteries to their plate?

Chapter 1Bhavishyavaanee

Lightning flashed over the night sky, brighter than the midday sun. The sky thundered, and millions of raindrops thrashed onto mother earth mercilessly. Not more than three months pregnant woman ran on the muddy land, carrying a torch in her right hand, while her injured husband lay on her left shoulder.

"I_I can't hold anymore, Vedavathi.'' Her husband weakly muttered, coughing up more blood. ''I made a mistake...terrible mistake. This pain..."

''P_lease bear it for a while, dear..We are very near Savarni Matamahi's ashram...She will cure you.'' Her breathing became heavy with the pressure her husband imposed on her left shoulder. Her white sari was completely soaked in blood from what seemed to be oozing out of her husband's wounds.

Thorns prickled Vedavathi's barefooted skin, but she didnot care, not when she could feel the Yamadutas[1] coming after her husband to take him to Yamalok[2]. All she wanted was to reach that safe place, for there was no entry for the messengers of death in that place.

A ray of hope lit up Vedavathi's face as she caught sight of the temple she was looking for at a distance away. Adjacent to it, there was a small hut. She could see the light illuminating it through the small window.

''Thank God! She is still awake!'' Vedavathi murmured to herself. Reaching there, she banged the wooden door until it was opened. An old woman in a ragged sari appeared in Vedavathi's sight. A big Bindi on the centre of her forehead enhanced her beauty despite her sunken cheeks and wrinkled face.

"Savarni Matamahi..'' Vedavathi burst into tears, gazing at the woman's calm face despite seeing an injured person. ''Please help my husband.''

The old woman stared at the injured man before her gaze shifted to the sky.

''Yamaduta's.'' She whispered in a surprise-filled voice. She was surprised to see the Yamadutas waiting to do their duty. It was the first time she had seen the messengers of death coming to the land of virtue, which means the injured man had committed a terrible sin.

''I can smell his death, child. What did he do?'' The old woman calmly asked.

As Vedavathi told the sinful story that happened in the evening when she returned from the farm, the old woman shook her head in disbelief. ''Hari Hari! I can't believe people in the Satya Yug are starting to fall from grace. The Garuda Puran says_''

''Please don't say that, Matamahi.'' Vedaathi cut her off, not intending to hear the deadly punishment her husband would have to face in the Naraka lok.

''You have a boon from Lord Hari to heal humans. I want my husband to live. Please help me. We will be forever grateful to you.'' Vedavathi sobbed, placing her injured husband at the feet of the old woman. The sin her husband committed cannot go unpunished, but she can't let him die and get tormented in the Naraka. She is going to have a family with him in another six months. Isn't it unfair for her child?

''Child..this is_"

"I will not leave this place without my husband, Matamahi!'' Vedavathi said.

''You will have to pay a heavy price that will be remembered for ages to come.'' The old woman said, her eyes ablaze. ''The world will be punished for your sin.''

Caressing her belly, Vedavathi weighed over Matamahi's words. For one time, she wanted to be selfish for her unborn child. She nodded her head in determination. ''I agree.''

Things are about to change tonight, the old woman realized. As Lord Hari said, there is no more Dharma[3] standing on four legs.

The old woman prayed to the idol sitting at the corner before taking the vermillion and the turmeric powder for the ritual. She then guided Vedavathi towards the temple for a ritual that would seal this world's fate.

''Stay here.'' The old woman told Vedavathi before dragging the injured man inside the temple.

Vedavathi stood in the rain, desperately praying to the gods to keep her husband alive. Half n hour later, the old woman came out of the temple and informed Vedavathi that the ritual had been completed and her husband was out of danger. Vedavathi thanked the old woman and ran into the temple to see her husband.

As Vedavathi's figure disappeared from the old woman's sight, she closed her eyes. Her calm face turned into trepidation in a split second as the future flashed before her eyes. She wanted to go back in time and warn herself of the consequences bound to take place, but fate was already sealed. ''The Bhavishyavaanee[4] is already sealed!''

Abyssal Awakening

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!
