Stríð ok Friðr [War And Peace]

Harshit_Santwani
​In the secluded, mountain-ringed kingdom of Eldfjall, a fourteen-year-old boy named Joran leads a peaceful life alongside his mischievous best friend, Kael. Eldfjall is a harmonious realm where humans live alongside goblins, elves, and wizards like Uncle Eldrin. This peace is anchored by the Golden Keep and the use of majestic dragons for travel. ​The status quo is shattered during a history lesson led by Master Thorne, who reveals the volatile state of the Seven Realms. He speaks of the lawless wasteland of Midgardia and an ancient prophecy regarding the "Final Born"—a child born at the end of the Norse Calendar destined to either bring true peace or final war. ​The peace turns to tragedy when Joran and Kael rent a dragon for a joyride. They are intercepted by a colossal obsidian dragon ridden by a dark-armored figure. In a moment of extreme terror, Joran unknowingly unleashes a raw, invisible force that repels the beast, causing it to crash into his own home. The resulting fire and destruction claim the life of Joran's mother. ​The attack is revealed to be an act of aggression by the realm of Grom'thar (the land of dwarves and goblins), signaling the start of a Great War. Grief-stricken and fueled by a desire for revenge, Joran vows to destroy those responsible, as King Harald calls for the mobilization of even the kingdom’s teenagers to join the Dragon Army.

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.
