In The End Only Kindness Matters Novels & Stories

I was slowly regaining my confidence. When I retired to my apartment, tired weak, and hungry too, I laid down on my back, reflecting on everything that happened. Rachael was genuinely worried about me, and it was glaring in her eyes, Leia's battered body, and most importantly, how Arden showed up to save the day. It warmed my heart. Kindness is not expensive. If we chose to be kind to others, it would not take anything good from us. Rather, it would protect us during the days of evil.

“That’s how this started. With a kid hiding in a closet watching his parents die.” She walked over to him. Stood close. “I’m sorry that happened to you,” she said. “Don’t be. It made me what I am.” “That doesn’t mean you had to become this.” “Yes it did.” He looked at her. “Because mercy gets you killed. Kindness makes you weak. I learned that at twelve years old and nothing since has proved me wrong.” “I have.” He frowned. “What?” “I’ve shown you kindness. And I’m still alive.” She held his gaze. “Mercy hasn’t made you weaker. It’s made you more human.”

Family, love, and happiness… THE END

“Exactly. Ava’s so selfish and impulsive. She knew her kidneys were the best match for Sophia, but she kept pretending to be sick just to avoid donating.” My youngest brother, Chris Blythe, added. I stared at them. Each word they said was like a needle stabbing straight into my heart. I only had one kidney left! How could I possibly donate it to someone else? Then, they used to call me their sensible little princess. Now, just because I wouldn’t give my last kidney, I’m unreasonable? I was the one they spoiled like a princess my entire life! However, ever since Sophia Foster came into the picture, I somehow have a “princess complex”.

They're the kind of people who wouldn't let even a tiny mistake pass and give punishment easily. "N-no I didn't do anything! They're so nice to me that's why I am really thankful for them taking great care of me." "Kindness for kindness. Loyalty doesn't come from fear, but from respect. It isn't always fear that makes people obey. Treat other people with kindness and they'll treat you in kind." Chiara smiled painfully after hearing those words. "But not all people deserve kindness, and not all people will return your kindness."

The connection between Ethan and humanity deepened. Not through power. Through truth. "If something lasts forever, eventually you stop valuing it." The mysterious stranger smiled slightly. Ethan continued. "But life matters because it ends." The battlefield remained completely silent. "Friendships matter because they don't last forever." The white divergence expanded. "Love matters because time is limited." The light spread through the fractured sky. "Family matters because one day they'll be gone." Even the Endwalker lowered his gaze. Ethan stepped forward again. Every word carried more strength.

“Sometimes brutal honesty comes before politeness. Not everything can be so sweet.” Her words bring a silence with them, hitting them all deeply and bringing back memories none wanted to remember, ones they wished to keep buried and forget. Each one of them has been through something that proved Leo’s words to be true. Not everything can be so sweet. They knew that. They had experienced it for themselves, things far from sweet. And it was those things that made Violet and Liviana believe in kindness before all else. They have learnt that kindness is a privilege, not a right. And they wanted to give that privilege to everyone they could, because once upon a time, they weren’t so lucky.

"You really saved the day." Samantha and Andrew watched as the woman walked away, feeling a sense of satisfaction. "It feels good to have been able to help someone," Samantha said. Andrew nodded. "It's amazing what a difference a little kindness can make," he said. "And it only cost us a few minutes of our time." Samantha looked thoughtful. "Maybe that's the real lesson here," she said. "Kindness doesn't have to be a grand gesture. Sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest impact."

he asks. It doesn't sound like he cares about his friends and their Kingdom. Regardless of the mess being theirs, they cannot clean without my help. Not to mention the fact that they are not the only ones who will suffer the consequences if Ademon succeeds in taking their thrones. Human slaves will never see a day of freedom. "Being kind involves cleaning messes that we never made. Because worse things will happen if we don't. And what really matters is that they genuinely want to clean the mess," I answer.

And all of you matter. I want you to know something important: when you support my work, you are not supporting luxury or comfort—you are supporting resilience. You are supporting a dream that refuses to die. You are supporting someone who is trying to build a future through words. I don’t share my struggles to make you feel sad or pressured. I share them because you deserve honesty. Because you deserve to know that your support has real impact. Because sometimes we forget how powerful kindness can be until we see it change a life.
