The Manager’s Promise

The Manager’s Promise Logline: A young BBA student must navigate a web of office politics, double lives, and a "two-way love" to turn a manager’s reckless promise into a lifelong commitment. The Setup Alfha, a 19-year-old BBA student in India, begins an internship under Adi, a sharp and successful Branch Manager. What begins as a professional mentorship quickly escalates into a whirlwind romance. However, the dream shatters when Adi confesses that his initial proposal was a "mistake"—a suggestion from his roommates to help him recover from the depression of a past breakup. The Conflict Determined to keep her dignity, Alfha builds a "Professional Wall," treating Adi with cold, office-standard formality. Yet, the heart is not so easily managed. As Adi realizes the depth of his feelings for Alfha, he pulls her back in, claiming a "Two-Way Love"—he loves Alfha, but feels he "needs" his ex-girlfriend. Alfha becomes a public secret, living in the shadows of Adi’s double life. The Turning Point The arrival of Rony, a fellow Branch Manager and Adi’s best friend, changes everything. Rony becomes Alfha’s silent ally, revealing Adi’s secrets through muted conference calls. For the first time, Alfha hears the unfiltered truth: Adi is painting her as a "mentorship project" to his ex while calling her his "soul" in private. The Climax The "Two-Way Love" collapses when the ex-girlfriend betrays Adi again, announcing her marriage to someone else. Adi returns to Alfha in a state of total brokenness. Instead of offering immediate comfort, Alfha sets a New Boundary. She refuses to be the second choice or a secret anymore. She demands a public vow and total transparency. The Resolution Adi proves his devotion by confronting his roommates and publicly claiming Alfha as his partner. The story concludes with a real, heartfelt proposal in the same office where they met—no longer as manager and intern, but as equals. The "Manager’s Promise" is finally fulfilled, leading to their real-life marriage.

Douluo The Imperial Fox Divine Path

On the Douluo Continent, power is measured by Soul Rings and Martial Spirits. Yet, Lin Huang walks a path that should not exist. Born into the secretive Imperial Fox Clan, a noble family bound to the Sun and Moon Empire, Lin Huang awakens a rare Martial Spirit — the Imperial Spirit Fox, a lineage said to possess an innate connection to the mind, vitality, and the deeper layers of the soul itself. Unlike ordinary Spirit Masters who rely solely on Soul Rings, his clan preserves a forbidden heritage: Body Cultivation, Spiritual Cultivation, and Beast Transformation. Through a mysterious process known as Bestialization, Spirit Masters can partially merge with their Martial Spirits, awakening dormant instincts, enhanced senses, and monstrous strength. Yet this path carries terrifying risks — loss of sanity, inner demons, and complete spiritual collapse. Guided by the unfinished legacy of his grandfather, a researcher who dared to challenge the foundations of the Douluo cultivation system, Lin Huang begins to walk the Three Paths of Cultivation: Body Cultivation – cleansing marrow, reforging meridians, transforming flesh and bones. Spiritual Cultivation – strengthening the mind, soul perception, and divine sense. Soul Power Cultivation – mastering Soul Rings beyond their limits, forming a deeper Soul Circle within the subconscious. While the world believes Soul Rings are the only way forward, Lin Huang’s existence slowly reveals a terrifying truth: The Douluo cultivation system is incomplete. As political intrigue rises within the Sun and Moon Empire, ancient beasts stir within the Star Dou Forest, and the gods themselves begin to watch from beyond the Divine Realm, a heretical path is quietly born. One that may lead not to inheritance— But to the creation of a new god. (I'm using Chatgpt to translate, please correct me if you see any errors, English is not my native language.)

Building World Peace with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Welcome to planet Talvaris, your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves who look like they escaped from an illustrators search history. Everything here is as beautiful as the goddess Celes envision it, if you just ignore the slavery and racism on the corner. Unfortunately, maintaining this picturesque fantasy realm costs divine power. Luckily for the goddess, divine power can be charged by the Talvarians' prayer. And nothing beats the high-quality prayer of a Talvarian during the act of killing or being killed. That’s why the occasional demon invasions are needed, oh and the OP otherworlder hero is also needed to tone down the invasion. Nobody wants the sweet Talvarians to get wiped out, right? But this time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not a Japanese. He is just a regular pot belly millennials who spend most of his time looking at the screen every day, just like the one who reading this now. Totally doesn't meet the goddess's standards. Hence, the beautiful but angry goddess cursed Alex Solomon to become an orc and banish him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but a ability to access Earth internet. Stuck among demons, Alex Solomon decide if the goddess wants him to be a monster, he’ll be the worst kind possible – a monster with ideas. Armed with memes, wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinker, he and the demon army set out on a quest for revenge by doing the most disruptive thing that have been proven on earth: Building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris. One Tomahawk missile at a time.
