Shadow Cursed: Layla And Her Pretty Monsters

Fabian_6462
Layla My mother’s dying words were simple: Stay hidden, stay quiet, and never let them see what you can do. So I have spent my whole life running from monsters and my cursed reality, moving from one dive town to the next, hiding a curse that could alter everything I know about my heritage. But I’m tired of running. When I land in a town that is home to freaks like me, I think I’ve finally found a place to disappear. Instead, I find them: Dorian, Elias, Kier and Lucien. A protector with a god complex, an Immortal who thinks he’s the smartest predator in the room, a tortured werewolf with a dark past, and a psychopathic vampire buried underground. They’re the Pretty Monsters who run this town, and they don’t like newcomers, especially one who was the craziest type of freak they have ever seen. They think they can break me. They think I’m just another human girl to be toyed with and stepped on. What they don’t know is that the darkness in me recognizes the darkness in them. They aren't the apex predators. They’re just the guardians of a throne that’s been empty for too long. While others think the Boogeyman is just a myth. A story parents tell their children to keep them in bed. But myths have daughters. And I’m coming for my crown. One girl. Four monsters. And a nightmare that’s only just beginning.

Reincarnated as Duryodhana in Mahabharata

Aditya was just an ordinary young man from the modern world — until a sudden accident ended his life and sent his soul into the body of Suyodhana, the eldest prince of Hastinapur. In this new life he is the boy history will one day call Duryodhana — the cursed prince fated to start the greatest war the world has ever seen. But Aditya is not alone. A mysterious Karma System has come with him, rewarding every kind choice and warning him when darkness creeps too close. Armed with his twenty-first-century knowledge and a burning desire to change the future, Suyodhana sets out to rewrite the tragic story of the Mahabharata. He heals his father Dhritarashtra’s blind eyes, wins the true loyalty of the mighty Karna and the forest archer Eklavya, and gathers his young friends in a quest to stop the bloody Kurukshetra war before it can begin. Yet destiny is far more stubborn than he imagined. As Suyodhana and his companions journey through glowing mountains, face ancient trials of the heart, and challenge the will of gods and sages, a deeper shadow begins to stir. Something far more dangerous than the coming war hides in the forgotten corners of this world — an ancient evil that the old legends never dared to name. Will Suyodhana truly become the hero who saves everyone he loves? Or will the heavy name of Duryodhana slowly pull him back into the darkness he is trying to escape? A tale of friendship, second chances, and cosmic fate — where one boy’s modern heart must decide whether he will break the chains of destiny… or become the very monster the world already fears.
