Junior_Sundar
TLDR What if instead of landing in the realms of Norse Gods, Kratos finds himself stranded within the realms of Hindu Mythology? ___ Summary After his last stand atop Mount Olympus, Kratos believed his bloody saga had finally come to an end. But death has other plans. Awakening in a mysterious, ancient land alive with powerful gods and unfamiliar legends, he finds himself face-to-face with a new pantheon - one as vast and intricate as the one he once tore apart. Without the blinders of vengeance clouding his vision, Kratos is forced to confront himself as never before. Without enemies to chase or grudges to fuel him, he must reckon with the monstrous deeds of his past and question the path that brought him here. Is there still a chance for redemption, even for someone like him? This is a journey of self-discovery, repentance, and growth - a path that might lead Kratos to something he has never known: peace. ___ Author's Note This is an AU (Alternate/Author's Universe) that picks up from where God of War 3 leaves off. Note that the label AU is important as I take some creative liberty when painting certain elements of the Hindu Mythos. The ratio of content that is true to the source material and my interpretation is 90/10. Though I will not deviate significantly from the crux/core of the mythology, I do need some creative leeway to ensure that the "rules" of the universe are robust and free of plot-holes. For more information on this, please read the Preface chapter. ___ FAQ Q: Will Kratos be killing gods? A: Maybe. Q: Will "X" (god or character) make an appearance? A: Maybe. Q: Will "X" (event) take place? A: Maybe. Q: Will there be a harem? A: No.

Betrayal: Married To My Enemy After Divorce

Rosalie had spent the last two years devotedly caring for her husband, William, after he was injured in an accident—an accident that happened just as he was about to divorce her for not being able to give him an heir. But everything she believed in shatters when she discovers the cruel truth; William—the very same man who whispered promises to her ears, kissed the ground she walked on when he was courting her—had been faking his paralysis and cheating on her the entire time, with her best friend. The betrayal hit harder than the heartbreak she felt when William had suggested a divorce. “You shouldn’t be surprised. You can’t give me a child,” he said coldly, his voice like ice. Then, with no remorse, he threw the divorce papers in her face. “Let’s finish what we started two years ago. Let’s get a divorce.” Heartbroken but resolute, Rosalie wiped away her tears, signed the papers, and silently vowed to make him regret ever tossing aside her love and sacrifice. She returned to the powerful, wealthy family she had once walked away from—the family that had pampered her, begged her not to leave. Back then, she had wanted to build her own name, live a life untouched by privilege. A name she had tossed aside the moment she met William. Now, barely catching her breath, she faces a new twist of fate. “You’ll have to replace your sister and marry Matteo Valtieri,” her father who never once raised his voice at her said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s the only way to solidify our family’s alliance.” Matteo Valtieri—a cold-hearted mafia boss who got what he wanted and eliminated anyone who stood in his way—couldn’t care less about the marriage. But despite their agreement to stay out of each other’s lives, he found himself drawn to Rosalie, and when he found out that she’d been cheated on by the man she once gave everything to, something in him snapped. Rosalie, too, found herself falling for Matteo—until she remembered he’d murdered someone close to her heart. And that was a truth she couldn’t ignore.
