《YOU DIDN'T REALIZE》CHAPTER 3 {EDITED}
Advertisement
We were enjoying keerthika 's engagement
Everything was going perfectly
I turned around and saw Swathi taking with Karunya
Didn't know why but the minute I saw her, I felt something
But I didn't know what it was, or what to name it
So I just always stay away from Swathi .
Swathi is a perfect girl ,she is someone who understands, cares and loves everyone around her.
My mom called me and told me to meet her immediately, I went to the room where my mom was there .
"Karthik you know your friend karunya right "mom asked
"Yeah ma I know her" I answered
"We want you to marry her not immediately but after this year ,she will also complete her studies and you will also get a job "mom told causally
"What was her answer ma "I asked because that's important
This thing didn't surprise me, because I know mom always had a soft corner for Karunya
"I will inform you Karthik, till then think "mom told and left
With a a ton of thoughts running in my mind I came out to see my friends playing .
Why should I not marry !!its not like my parents are forcing me but its correct time right!! ,I will also finish my studies and get job this year as already I and my friends are selected in the campus interview .
Keerthika saw me and raised her eyebrows and I just smiled at her.
Soon the game started
That's where I came to know
I never noticed ,
But the problem is KARUNYA agreed to marry me .
I am selfish, right now, I don't want to deny my parents
And I don't love Swathi
Currently everyone left there home even swathi
I went to the hotel where me and my family is staying ,our house is in Mysore ,my family is here because keerthika's father us our family friend.

I entered into the my room and something in me said to clear all the things happening.
I called swathi and asked her to meet me
I know ,calling a girl at this time is wrong but I have no option
She came ,swathi came within 10 minutes
She looked so beautiful ,that's Swathi even in a simple salwar she use to look beautiful.
She stood next to me, leaving a comfortable distance
There was complete silence!!
"Hmm... swathi I just want to clear that I don't love you nor do you love me it must be just a "I told
She looked at me with tears filled in her eye and nodded her head looking down
"I didn't mean to hurt you swathi but..."
"I can understand Karthick
It's just
Belive me it's not hard to forget you and I promise I won't interfere in your life hereafter, because of me nothing will happen to you are your marriage "swathi told and was looking down
"hey!! swathi what are you doing at this time "my mom gave a sudden entry and asked swathi
"She heard about my marriage ma,so she came to congratulate me" I told her instead of swathi
"Ohhh.. how sweet yeah ,swathi we just planned to make the engagement soon as possible, you should be there and help us out "my mom told which brought more tears to her eyes
"Ok aunty, its getting late ,so... bye"she told and touched my mom's leg for blessings and left
"Karthik, go drop her na "my mom told,I went out to see her wating for a auto
"Hmmm.... swathi try to maintain a distance from me as you know keerthika ,rahul and vicky already know about this
I don't want this to go to KARUNYA "she just nodded her and waved for a auto and climbed into it
"Ok.. Karthick... bye
Congratulations " she told and left smiling .
Her smile didn't reach her eyes!!

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.
8 149The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.

8 92Faeos Book One: The Stuff of Legends
A ragtag assemblage of adventurers, scraped together by seeming circumstance, investigate the theft of an ecologically essential artifact. In so doing, they find themselves embroiled (as adventurers so often do) in the larger machinations of a mischevious gnome, a determined mage or three, and a dire threat to their homes. Based on a homebrew Pathfinder campaign begun several years ago, and still running. Faeos is one part combat, one part character building, and one part entirely justified silliness. Blame any lead character weirdnesses on my players, whom I love. Blame everything else on me. Oh, and yes, this should also be tagged "Unreliable Narrator."
8 77Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
