In the monsoon-choked ruins of 2091 Bangalore—now Indra-17—memory is the last currency, and forgetting is punishable by law. Anaya Kane is a low-caste memory archivist working for the Office of Public Memory, a government body tasked with extracting, digitising, and sanitising the minds of the dying. Her job is bureaucratic, thankless, and increasingly disturbing—especially as her assigned memories begin bleeding into her waking life. Faces she’s never seen know her name. Murmurs follow her home. And somewhere in the static between archived minds, something ancient is calling: Naale Baa—come tomorrow. When a corrupted memory file shows a woman in a yellow sari whispering secrets from the future, Anaya begins to question everything—the stability of her mind, the integrity of her memories, and whether she’s truly human at all. Worse, others in the archive have started to vanish. One by one. As urban legends of the churel and Naale Baa resurface, recast through corrupted implants and neural ghosts, Anaya is caught in a slow unraveling of identity, truth, and time. The memory government wants obedience. The city wants silence. But something old, hungry, and half-remembered wants her. To survive, Anaya must confront a haunting reality: she is no longer the archivist of memory—she may be its final archive.

The abandoned son of the sect, Gu An, was forced to marry into the family, but he used the wedding to expose the inheritance of the God. He broke through step by step, and transformed from a puppet in the marriage to a behind-the-scenes God who subverted the fairy world. ---------------- Yeah, I am Gu An, from the story above. Transmigrating into a world of cultivation, I find myself at the lowest rung of the sect's hierarchy. Everyone wants to bully me to gain some benefits. Fortunately, there are always a few junior brothers and sisters who are 'generous and understanding', allowing me to improve peacefully and secretly grow stronger. Years later, unbeknownst to anyone, I successfully become a deity within the sect. This day, my master visits me at the sect's request. 'The upper echelons of the sect believe you have been diligent and loyal over the years, and though your strength is mediocre, you are an honest person, so they've found a marriage alliance for you.' 'An alliance marriage?' 'Not exactly. The other family has a rule: marrying into their family means taking their surname.' Is this... becoming a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family? Looking at the long sword before my neck, it was obvious that they didn't give me too many substantial opportunities to choose. What should I do? Waiting for answers online、、、

Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
