MY FATHER’S KEEPER

Vanshikasoni
When 23-year-old Aarya loses both parents in "accidents" within three months, she refuses to believe it's coincidence. Her father's dying words lead her to an old diary whose last page reveals a chilling truth: "If I die, know it wasn't an accident." Her journey takes her from Dehradun to Mumbai, where every person who knew her father's secrets dies before they can speak. A hidden photograph from 1984 reveals three army friends—one face scratched out. Who is the third person? And why is someone killing anyone who might tell Aarya the truth? As she digs deeper, Aarya uncovers a forty-year-old secret involving a brutal murder, a little girl who survived, and her own mother's hidden identity. The investigation leads her to Karan Malhotra—a powerful Delhi businessman who is also her unknown uncle. But Karan isn't alone. A fourth person from 1984 has been pulling strings all along: her mother's own brother, Vikram. With help from Aryan, a journalist with his own revenge agenda, Aarya navigates a world where family means betrayal and blood means nothing. But when Aryan's true connections to her enemies are exposed, Aarya finds herself alone and trapped in a basement, facing death at her uncle's hands. A daring escape, a dying man's confession, and a secretary's secret files lead Aarya to a shocking discovery—her mother is alive, hidden in a nursing home for months. But saving her means walking into a trap. In a final confrontation that spans rooftops, hospitals, and courtrooms, Aarya must decide: Can she forgive her father for hiding the truth? Can she love a mother who married for revenge? And when both uncles are finally jailed, who sends her a photograph with the chilling message: "The past never dies. It just waits"? My Father's Keeper is a gripping tale of family secrets, generational revenge, and one daughter's relentless fight for truth—where the last page is just the beginning.

Umbra Overlord: Night Mother's Champion

WARNING: This story isn’t for the faint of heart. The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless. If you want a clean-cut hero who plays by the rules, this isn’t your tale. ------------------------------------------ But if you crave raw power, dark humor, divine legacies, and the rise of a shameless, ruthless legend — buckle up. Growing up, Corven had always known he was different. He was a misfit. An outsider. He never fit in, nor did he want to. And he got bullied for it. So when he learns that he's a demigod son of the strongest primordial god, he wasn't too surprised. But power attracts enemies. And Erebus has many. You don't become the strongest without garnering quite a few, and being the son of the strongest can only protect one for so long. As the son of the Primordial of Darkness and the inheritor of a feared legacy tied to the a forgotten family who once ruled the Shadow Realm and its scattered powers, Corven quickly becomes a target in a brutal world ruled by gods, monsters, demigods, nobles, cultivators, ancient Houses and ruthless politics. He must quickly build his power, brick by brick, because, if he knew one thing, it was this: He was never going to be weak ever again, and he'll ensure that comes out on top. In this world, strength defines worth, betrayal is currency, and weakness is an invitation to die. So Corven must grow stronger. Faster. Smarter. More ruthless. Because if he doesn’t, the enemies hunting him will bury him long before he ever reaches his full potential. His road is a bloody one, filled with war, betrayal, ancient enemies, and powers beyond mortal comprehension. Yet, with his loyal friends at his back and a primordial family that seems hellbent on gifting him absurdly overpowered abilities, Corven may actually stand a chance against the forces seeking his downfall... At least externally, anyway. Because the true enemy may lie within. See, power in this world comes at a cost. And Primordial Spawns are cursed notoriously worse than most. Sure, there may be Monarchs blessed by the elements. Demigods blessed by the gods. And Progenitors blessed by evolution itself. Primordial Spawns --- children born to primordial parents --- are blessed by the Primordials themselves; they are born with limitless potential and favored by the universe itself. But they are born with a curse. The stronger they become, the more their sanity begins to fracture beneath the weight of their own power. After all, the cost of power is madness and, as the strongest of the Primordial Spawns, Corven has madness in spades. Suffice to say, if the enemies of Erebus don’t kill Corven before his ascension... His own insanity might just do the trick. He fights dirty. He talks back. Mercy? There is none left. This is not a story about heroes. This is the rise of the Shadowborn monster the world tried to erase — and the legend that will force them to remember why darkness was the very first element in creation... And why it is feared. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Additional Tags: - Anti-Hero - Villain - Magic - Cultivation - Undead - Summons - Broken - Gods - Myths - Betrayals - Vengeance - Werewolves - Vampires - Demons - Warlocks - Witches ------------------------------------ Release Schedule & Bonuses • 2+ Chapters every 3–4 days • Bonus Chapter every third Friday • Power Stone Milestones:   • 35 = +1 Chapter   • 55 = +4 Chapters • 20 Shares = +2 Chapters ------------------------------------ Read.
