Corruption Stories

A story that feels like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. A woman wronged by the world, and the man who considers her his only world. Do Cup Chai follows Vaani, an Income Tax Officer sworn off marriage, tied in matrimony to a hardened Squadron Leader in the IAF. What begins as two names on a paper slowly transforms into mutual companionship, love, and most of all, respect. And yet, while Vaani was tempted to bridge the gap between them, Vihaan's walls made it impossible for him to be vulnerable. A story that moves, breaks, and heals at the same time.

"Shelly Fossilian", that was her name. She was a toon created by one of the founders of the world-famous show "Dandy's World" and the educational center, Gardenview. She was a main character with a passion and specialty for archaeology and paleontology, and as a main character she had a theme revolving around dinosaurs and other prehistoric life. Despite her wonderful role and subject, Shelly was far less as popular as the other main characters. Many of the visitors of Gardenview ignored her, her creators began to push her aside, and even her own friends began to grow distant away from her. It seemed like almost everyone around her was blatantly ignoring her. Shelly was deeply hurt by this. She was upset. Although with that, Shelly tried to be as optimistic as possible even whilst having her sorrow. Then, a nightmarish being from within the roots of her mind had appeared. The nightmare told her hurtful but truthful words, and to do things that she wouldn't ever want to. Shelly tried to resist. But the more she was treated in an undesirable way, the more she understood what the nightmare had said. The combination of the blatant ignorance of her existence and the dark force within her mind had started to enrage and break her, slowly turning her for the absolute worst . . . Now, the once friendly Toon is slowly nearing to the breaking point of something monstrous, potentially bringing danger and wrath to all of Gardenview..

The newspapers call him The Renegade-a ruthless fugitive who walks into places no one else can, steals secrets never meant to be uncovered, and disappears before the authorities realize he was ever there. He leaves behind only one thing. A single black rose. The police want him captured. Politicians want him silenced. The country wants him dead but no one knows what turned him into the man they fear. Twenty-three-year-old Mira Kapoor, a final-year law student and the daughter of one of the country's most respected Police Commissioners, has spent her entire life believing in justice. She trusts the law, believes the guilty are punished, and never imagines her path will cross with the man her father has spent years trying to destroy. Then one night, she sees his face. One mistake should have cost her life. Instead, Zaid lowers his gun. And tells her to run. She tries to forget him, but he has a strange habit of appearing whenever danger finds her-a shadow at the edge of a crowd, a warning that arrives too late, a mystery she can't stop chasing. The closer Mira gets to the man behind the black roses, the harder it becomes to believe the story everyone has told her. Because what if the real danger isn't the criminal everyone is hunting? What if it's the people who taught her who the criminals were? In a city built on secrets, justice comes with a price and falling for The Renegade might be the most dangerous choice she will ever make.

There were barriers. Barriers that extended upward endlessly. What lay beyond these barriers remained unbeknown to humanity. Yet, from beyond them emerged unimaginable entities known as Partians. They were eerie, aberrant creatures, often anthropomorphic, but imbued with unnatural strength. An amalgam of both human and animal genes, they far transcended the frontiers of human capability. Seemingly, they were deemed to be humanity's gravest enemy. Within the barriers, that was. That day, after the invasion, everything changed. Sent away from danger, Kisatsu woke up in an unfamiliar room three days after the invasion had taken everything from him. A nation away from home, facing all odds, he swore to retrieve his older brother, everything he had left.

> "Children fear monsters in the dark. Adults create them in broad daylight." A forgotten flash drive. A buried truth. A shadow that never disappeared. As Ren Akira follows a trail no one was meant to uncover, he realizes that monsters aren't born... They're created. And some truths should never be remembered. "Humans don't fear monsters... they become them."

Fynn Balagtas thought he had been accepted into one of the world's most prestigious international academies. He was wrong. Hidden beyond the knowledge of ordinary humanity lies the Hall of the Nine Seals, an academy in the Kingdom of Kuzura where magic is not fueled by talent alone, but by principles. Every ritual follows the Nine Fundamental Laws of Ritual: Name, Form, Intent, Medium, Flow, Balance, Boundary, Cost, and End. And those who master them shape the very foundation of reality. Thrown into a world of rituals, ancient philosophies, and impossible discoveries, Fynn finds himself studying alongside his childhood friend Asmi Wijaya and the brilliant but uncompromising Cheon Ji-won. Together, they navigate demanding research, dangerous fieldwork, fierce rivalries, and the expectations of the enigmatic Sealbearers-the nine individuals entrusted with embodying the Laws themselves. Yet beneath Kuzura's thriving halls rests a fractured past. Forgotten histories, missing Seals, and truths deliberately buried begin to surface, drawing the students into a conflict far greater than their education. As forces beyond Kuzura move to challenge the foundations of the Fantasy Dimension itself, Fynn discovers that the strange anomaly within him may hold the key to preserving-or unraveling-the very system that governs magic. In a world where every beginning demands a Name and every ending carries a Cost, the greatest power is not magic itself, but understanding the principles that hold everything together.
