What if instead of aliens' invading Earth, humans invaded their planet?

After World war III reduced Earth to ashes, the last remnants of humanity fled to the stars, carving a new empire among the clouds of an alien world- *Elysium*. But this new paradise was already home to a native civilisation, one now shackled under the terms of a brutal treaty. Every year, the aliens pay tribute. Every day, their skies are shadowed by the ships of their human overlords.

The people of Elysium live under the boot of the Dominion-an authoritarian human regime that controls every aspects of life. Children are bred, not born. Raised not to love or dream, but to dominate. The highest honour in this twisted society is to become an Avatar-a chosen warrior diplomat engineered to mimic their slaves and maintain human supremacy.

Evan, a gifted but rebellious young recruit, never wanted this life. He dreams of something the Dominion forbids: *freedom.* But when he's selected to complete in the Trails, a brutal gauntlet meant to forge the next generation of Avatars, he must fight not just to survive-but to understand the truth behind the Dominion, the aliens they oppress, and the role he was bred to play.

As Evan's beliefs are shattered and loyalties tested, he'll face an impossible choice: rise as a symbol of oppression, or burn it all down...and take himself down with it.

In a world built on ashes and lies, what does it mean to be human anymore?

While Eli heads into town for groceries, Noah stays behind, reading Harry Potter and half-watching the news. That’s when a strange report flashes across the screen—blurry footage of an alligator holding weapons and attacking people in the city. Noah laughs it off, thinking it’s some kind of hoax.

The Lost Patriot follows Professor Harshad Mehta, a devoted Indian independence activist who seizes an unexpected opportunity to fake his death in 1946 when authorities close in on his underground network. Assuming the identity of Ahmed Khan, he builds a quiet new life in what he doesn't realize has become Pakistan after partition.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian subcontinent's division, this poignant historical drama explores the profound irony of a freedom fighter who misses witnessing the very independence he fought for. As Ahmed establishes himself as a respected bookkeeper in a small Pakistani village, his rescue of a stray cat leads to a meaningful connection with Fatima, a local widow, and her children.

His carefully constructed world unravels when he gradually discovers the stunning truth: India achieved independence in 1947, but was partitioned into two nations along religious lines—the very division he and his fellow activists had fought against. Faced with the choice to reclaim his true identity or embrace his new life, Harshad/Ahmed must reconcile his revolutionary past with his peaceful present.

The Lost Patriot is a moving exploration of identity, purpose, and belonging that asks whether a person's significance lies in their name and achievements or in the quiet dignity of the life they build and the connections they forge.

When a group of friends is hired to clean up after a wild party at the infamous White mansion, they expect a night of easy money and a chance to explore the lavish estate. But as they step inside, they quickly realize something is wrong. The mansion is eerily quiet, its halls filled with strange shadows and unsettling whispers.

The story of the first human which was created and survived within the new world.

In the kingdom of Velyria, every family must adhere to a rigid law of childbearing. Women are required to have exactly three children: the eldest inherits the family business, the second is conscripted into the army, and the third becomes a scholar. Any deviation from this order leads to brutal punishment—execution, exile, or enslavement.

Merritt, an illegal fourth-born, should have been executed at birth, but his mother's defiance spared him—at the cost of her life. Raised as an outcast, Merritt fought his way into the prestigious Academy of War, where he became one of its top students, second only to Augustine, the second-born prince of Velyria who is destined for the front lines.

When an enemy kingdom strikes Velyria with a devastating attack, killing countless soldiers, the kingdom's rulers send every available recruit to the battlefield—including Augustine, Merritt, and two unlikely companions: Everest, a boy haunted by the death of his twin sister, and Kaito, a servant born from a forbidden love between a noble and a servant. Forced by the urgency of war, even those who were never meant to fight are swept up in the tide.

But everything changes when the four are captured by the enemy under the cover of night. Taken into enemy territory, they are subjected to the harsh ways of their captors and see the reality of war from a new perspective. As they train and form unexpected bonds with their captors—including a noble with secrets of their own—they begin to realize that the war is not the black-and-white conflict they were taught to believe in. Both Velyria and the enemy kingdom are steeped in corruption, using their people as pawns in a war fueled by lies and power.

As the four grow closer, they survive small battles, endure brutal challenges, and lean on each other through hardship. When a spy within their new camp offers them a chance to defect and fight for the enemy, they seize it—only to discover it's a test of loyalty designed to break them.

Back in Velyria, Augustine's father discovers their supposed betrayal and offers them a deadly ultimatum: betray the enemy kingdom by delivering vital information or face permanent exile. But Augustine, alongside his newfound allies, makes a bold choice. They reject both kingdoms, determined to escape the shackles of their birthrights and the lies that have shaped their world. United by friendship and driven by the desire for a better future, Merritt, Augustine, Everest, and Kaito spark a revolution—one that could break the chains of Velyria's ancient laws and change the kingdom forever.

The Silent Chainsis a gripping tale of rebellion, friendship, and the search for truth in a world that seeks to control every life.
