IN THE COLLEGE,
Nandini and Manik went to their dorms. Every dorm has 4 beds each. Nandini now has three dormmates- Navya(architecture department), Mukti(computer sciences), Alia(computer sciences). Nandini entered her dorm and only Navya was there.
Navya - Hello! welcome. Myself Navya. What about you?
Nandini - Hello! Myself Nandini!
Navya - Nice
Nandini moved to a bed and was about to organise her stuff when...
Navya - Ahhh! Wait, This one is taken. Yours is this side's down one. Sorry, you didn't got to choose. But all three came before you so....
Nandini - oh! It's okay. But where are those two?
Navya - (with deep sigh) Both are already taken. So, they are roaming around college with their better halves.
Nandini - Oh (both burst in laughter)
Navya - Hey! you are so beautiful.
Nandini - Thank you. You are not less than anyone too.
Nandini got along with Navya quite nicely already. But there was still no sign for Alia and Mukti.
Meanwhile, Manik went to his dorm too but unlike Nandini, his dorm was empty just two beds were messed up. He got all his stuff out and organised it. His two dormmates are- Abhimanyu(Mukti's boyfriend) and Dhruv(Alia's boyfriend). His all dormmates are in computer science departments. His one dormmate- Kabir Dhawan was not there. As per the information provided to him, he would report anytime in college within five days. Finally, here comes Abhimanyu and Dhruv after two hours.
Abhimanyu - Hey handsome, what's your name?
Manik - Are you talking to me?
Abhimanyu - yes. So, can you please trouble to tell your name!
Manik - I am Manik. What about you two?
Abhimanyu - Hello, I'm Abhimanyu Diwan.
Dhruv - hello, Myself Dhruv.
Manik - Hello, Nice to meet you. Hope we will get along well.
Dhruv - Don't worry, we already have.
Abhimanyu - But I must say you are the most handsome out of all the freshers. So, it means now our dorm is all famous. (they all started to drink coffee, which Manik just prepared) By the way, we two already have girlfriends. What about you??

Manik was drinking water but after listening he choked it. The two rushed to help him and made him fine.
Manik - I don't have any. And I don't want.
Abhimanyu - Don't worry. With such killer looks, you will have one soon.
Dhruv - Just cut the crap. We haven't introduced ourselves yet.
Manik - But I know your names. You just told it.
Dhruv - No, No, No. Wait. The professional introduction.
Dhruv and Abhimanyu - (both got up) We are the best hacker and programmers. And are called 'The Programmer Duo' of our school.
Manik - (firstly smiled awkwardly then with both thumbs up) I believe in you guys. Fighting(while continuously nodding his head and turning around)
Abhimanyu - Did he just taunt us??
Dhruv - I think so too.
Abhimanyu - Forget it. He is just a pure soul. We forgive him.
(all burst in laughter)
They all started to have fun with each other and got along.
As Abhimanyu and Dhruv reached to their dorms, Mukti and Alia reached to theirs too. In girls dorm(Nandini's dorm)
Mukti - Hello girls, (looking at Nandini) We have met Navya. What's your name?

Mukti - yeah girl.
Nandini - Nice to meet you two.
Mukti - Now, our dorm is surely going to be famous as we are all beauties.

The Oath of Oblivion
Rane could draw power from the dead and make it his own. For some, such an arcane birthright would be a boon and a blessing. To Rane, it meant being forced on a path of bloodshed and death based on the whims of his slavers. To commit acts that went against every human instinct he retained. Years of torture and captivity have left his body weak and his mind in shambles, yet he still retains a few, fragmented memories. They hint at a life beyond what his prison and what his cruel masters have allowed him. At a family he's lost, and a promise he's already broken. To escape, Rane will have to face fierce beasts, unhinged mages and the true essence of what it means to be human. And as the peace between ancient kingdoms grows uneasy and the world plunges headfirst into madness, the cost of freedom might prove high. In the chaos of conflict and men’s ravenous ambitions, the true name of the world has been long forgotten. Nations wage bloody campaigns with remnants of ancestral magic while nature itself crumbles around them. Only one pillar of stability stands unshaken for millennia, anchoring the realm to balance. One single truth that no mage has yet to break. Oaths, once sworn, cannot be broken. Under the Arbiter's watchful eye, civilizations rise and crumble. People live and die. The words of the strong become law, and law shapes reality. And that is just the reality Rane has to change. Dark High Fantasy story with multiple alternating POVs. The first book is complete and chapters are released daily. Disclaimer: This is a zero to hero story. Don't come in expecting the main character to be powerful right away.

Anathema
The Prince used to dance — until he discovered the strings moving his legs. The Rebel used to hope — until reality slammed a door in her face. The Spy used to live for nothing but money — until he found himself a family. And the Slave craved freedom more than air — until a small hand reached to her for help. Eskela has known conflict for centuries. War had been engrained into the very soil of every one of the eight kingdoms, and blood has been smeared over history to paint a lie. When young prince Aldric, heir to the Aguki throne, learns his position is nothing but a farce, his world crumbles down around him. As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means. Conflict does not reside in Cinthra alone, though. Erden, newly hired spymaster for the crown prince of Promnir, is tasked with keeping an eye on the kingdom’s council. The job that was supposed to just be about money quickly spirals into a fierce loyalty, one that leads him to the front lines in order to desperately prevent another war from beginning. Azala, a slave bought by the royal family of Azmosir, finds her loyalty is not nearly as solidified as that of Erden’s. But while the prince she serves plots to steal that which does not belong to him and the queen she respects holds on to a lingering desire for revenge, Azala realizes that she must choose whom to save: herself or Azmosir's defenseless and young princess.

Tesla Stone and the World of Smoke and Mirrors
R0Q-T357-Alpha (callsign: Rock) is a "Core Child," an irredeemably-crippled test tube baby modified and repurposed by an advanced U.S. military project to serve as the CPU for two-thirds of America's orbital defense systems. Though no one outside of the Pentagon has ever heard of him, he protected his homeland from three ICBMs, a Pacific theatre invasion fleet, and one rogue asteroid. Now, after twenty-seven years of distinguished service from "birth," he is being honorably discharged into civilian life. The only problem is that "civilian life" isn't exactly livable for a glorified brain in a jar. How does a couple pounds of grey matter surrounded by five tons of life support systems and enough co-processing enhancements to take over the planet enjoy an early retirement when he's surrounded by overzealous politicians, corporate spies, and foreign agents after military secrets? The real world isn't that forgiving.

Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)
‘’ Ladies and gentlemen of Panem, for the Pageant of the one hundred and twenty fifth annual Hunger Games, or the fifth Quarter Quell, we have a special treat in store. Here in Panem, we are all depending on something, the Capitol depends on the twelve districts for goods, the districts depend on the Capitol for food and protection but also, the districts depend on each other. To highlight the fact that the districts of Panem are so dependent on each other, the tributes in this year’s Hunger Games will be randomly paired with one another. The pairs will be connected via a new Capitol invention that will mean when one of them dies, so does the other. This will mean that the pairs will have to protect each other, because their lives are in their partner’s hands and vice versa. As you may be wondering how this will affect the final outcome, I am very excited to announce that for the first time ever in Hunger Games history, two tributes will be able to win! Yes, you heard me correct. There will be two victors! You will all hear more about this after the Reapings have commenced, until then, I bid you all adieu.
