The Ashvattha Tournament

The Ashvattha Tournament

Elsar1975
In the heart of modern India, a legendary underground tournament is held once a decade—The Ashvattha Tournament. It is no ordinary competition; fighters enter the arena not just with martial prowess but with Divine Marks, supernatural abilities granted by forming contracts with ancient gods, legendary warriors, or forgotten spirits. Aarav Sen, a rebellious street fighter, enters the tournament with one goal: to find his missing sister, who vanished after the last tournament. But as he fights his way through brutal rounds against warriors wielding the power of deities, he discovers the tournament is a front for something far older and more sinister. The tournament is controlled by The Keepers, a shadowy organization that claims to maintain balance between gods, humans, and the unseen forces that shape history. However, factions within the tournament—rogue demigods, vengeful emperors, and forgotten deities—are vying for control, each with their own vision for the world. As Aarav delves deeper, he learns that the tournament’s winner does not just claim glory—they decide the fate of the world. With each fight, he uncovers the hidden war brewing between gods, emperors, and celestial forces beyond mortal comprehension. Torn between vengeance, love, and the weight of destiny, Aarav must face the ultimate question: Will he become a champion of fate, or will he shatter the cycle of divine rule?

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?

A Dance of Shadows and Fire

In Zyphera, a realm of floating cities and magic-laced bloodlines, power is not inherited—it is seized. Nobility stands untouchable, their destinies inked by history, their victories carved into golden walls. But ink lies. Ink can be rewritten. Here, only blood tells the truth. Annabelle Dorne was meant to be nothing—a noble in name alone, an overlooked shadow in a world that devours the weak. But when shattered memories of another life awaken, she realizes this story has been told before. She has read it, lived it, and she knows how it ends. The empire will drown in war. A queen will rise from chains. A monster will carve his name into history with fire and ruin. And at the heart of it all, love and betrayal will bleed together, indistinguishable. Annabelle was never meant to change the course of fate. But fate has never met someone like her. As she moves in the spaces between prophecy and reality, unseen hands tighten around her throat—watching, waiting. A prince whose touch commands storms. A villain who thrives in the dark. A woman whose mask hides something far more terrifying than cruelty. And when the final chapter comes, who will be the writer, and who will be the ink?
