• The Fall of Troy Jul 29, 2025

  

  After ten long years of siege, the great city of Troy stood battered but still defiant behind its mighty walls. The war that had begun with Paris’s abduction of Helen had claimed countless lives on both sides, including some of the greatest heroes of the age.

It would take cunning rather than courage, deception rather than direct assault, to finally bring down the proud citadel of Priam.

• The Story of My Chau and Trong Thuy Jul 23, 2025

  

  In the ancient land of Au Lac, during the time when Vietnam was divided into warring kingdoms, there ruled a wise and powerful king named An Duong Vuong. His kingdom was prosperous and strong, protected by massive fortifications and defended by the most advanced weapons of the age—magical crossbows that could fire arrows with supernatural accuracy and force.

  The secret of these mighty weapons lay in a single magical crossbow called Linh Quang, forged by the Dragon King himself and presented to An Duong Vuong as a reward for his just rule. This celestial weapon was so powerful that a single arrow from it could penetrate any armor and strike down enemies from impossible distances.
