《A different Mahabharat》Part 8
Advertisement
Arjun was still in the weapon room. His heart was filled with guilt. He could not believe after knowing archery so well how could his arrow miss its direction.
With a guilt filled heart arjun walked to his chamber. He changed into a new pair of comfortable clothes as the previous ones were wet from his sweat. Arjun wanted to sleep but he couldn't do so.
After what felt like 2 hours he finally fell in a deep slumber. Just then a covered figure entered his room.
The figure tried moving sneakily but unfortunately it hit a vase nearby making it fall on the ground and break into pieces with a loud crash.
It quickly hid in order to hide from arjun as they were sure that arjun has woken up from the sound of the vase falling. Arjun woke up and looked around the room and his eyes finally fell on the broken vase.
But instead of getting up and searching for the person who caused the broken state of the vase he lay back down and fell asleep again.
The unknown person took this as a chance and took out a knife from their back and aimed it at arjun. It slowly made its way towards arjun.
Little did the unknown knew that arjun wasn't asleep, he was just pretending to be in a deep slumber. A gasp left its mouth as it felt a hand wrap around its wrist.
It was pulled and its body fell on arjun's. Again a gasp left its mouth as arjun swirled with it on the bed so that the unknown lays under him and it was caged between bed and arjun.
Arjun quickly took off the cloth which was covering the unknown's face and to his shock the unknown was not a warrior like him instead that person was a girl a very beautiful girl.

Arjun has never seen so beautiful girl in his whole life. He instantly fell in love with her. It was a love-at-first-sight for him but for the girl it was total opposite. For her it was like a hate-at-first-sight. Both of them had an intense eye contact.
Arjun's brown orbs stared at her with love but unlike him the girl's eyes stared back at him filled with hatred and anger. She kicked him in the legs which caught him off guard.
The girl took this chance to run towards her pocket knife which fell on the floor when arjun grabbed her wrist.
But before she can even touch it arjun steadied himself and grabbed her arm. He pushed her to the wall next to the bed pinning her to it.
The girl was not any less than him. She turned their positions and now she was pinning him to the wall. When arjun pushed her he made sure that he held her very softly knowing the fact that he was a boy and she was a girl.
It is not important that the girl was single. She can be someone's finance or wife. The girl quickly took the sword which was kept near table which was beside the bed. And held it near arjun's neck as if asking him to surrender. But arjun was too lost in her beauty that he didn't noticed the sword.
"Accept your defeat prince." The girl said in her sweet voice.
Finally an update after so long

Empathic capacity of a teaspoon
Reincarnating with the gamer interface was all a part of the plan, being reborn as Ron Weasley not so much. It was something I could work with, sure. Magic is great! But as I would soon learn, it had the tendency of introducing a plethora of other issues.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Our Shattered Realms
*This is a learning experience for me so please keep in mind that I am attempting to work on some of the issues brought to my attention early on. However I haven't yet gone back to redo the early chapters.* Less than two days ago every piece of electronics in the world stopped working for more than two hours. The death toll was immense. Hospital equipment failed, cars stopped in the middle of the street, planes fell from the sky, and homework was lost at the worst possible moment. We found out that it was just the flicker and hum of The System warming up. Now we see the true cost of our new world. A Dark comedy that focuses on a few of the many people who aren't stuck in a high level dungeon when our world is translated and joined to Our Shattered Realms. This is my first story that I have published. I welcome any criticism that you have for me. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!
