IF I EVER ASKED

Gideon_Michael
In high school, Ethan made one mistake. He confessed to a girl he liked. The rejection that followed was embarrassing enough to burn a rule into his mind forever: He would never confess to a girl again. If someone liked him, they would have to say it first. Now in college, Ethan has mastered the art of looking completely nonchalant. Quiet. Hard to read. The kind of guy who rarely starts conversations—especially with girls. Which is strange, considering he’s actually pretty good-looking. Not in a flashy, model-on-a-billboard kind of way, but enough that people notice. Enough that girls sometimes wonder about him. But Ethan rarely gives them anything to work with. Around girls, he keeps his distance. Calm. Careful. Occasionally awkward when he tries a little too hard to act like he doesn’t care. Around his friends, though, it’s a completely different story. With the guys, Ethan is loud, sarcastic, annoying, playful, and sometimes completely ridiculous. The quiet, mysterious guy everyone else sees disappears the moment he’s comfortable. Most people think they understand Ethan. They really don’t. Because behind the calm expression and the nonchalant act is someone trying very hard not to repeat the one mistake he swore he’d never make again.

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.
