The Shadow of Great Britain

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

[BL] Alpha, You've Got the Wrong Mate!

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT [18+] An enemy, a punishment, a curse in disguise of blessing. An alpha who simply wants to claim an omega as his. An omega escaping his tragic past, trying to heal the scars that seem to never fade. Synopsis: In a world where Alphas ruled and Omegas were seen as figures of motherhood and love, Ren lived as a Beta. And in a world where humans have mixed with other species such as gods, demons, elves, witches, Ren was a human of pure blood. However, from a young age, he had been able to see what others cannot. A mere glance could kill. A single touch could heal. Born with a cursed blessing—the power to both save and destroy—Ren was bound and raised by the temple, blindfolded and used as a living weapon. For years, they unleashed his power against their greatest enemy: the Ravhara Kingdom, with whom war had raged for centuries. But after a certain incident, Ren ran away from his motherland and sought refuge in the border of the Ravhara Empire, hiding his identity. Disguised as a servant, he began working under the very army he once fought—under their Imperial General, Zayden Sylvaris—as his personal servant under strange circumstances. Ren worked by his side like a ghost. As if he wasn’t there in the first place. Everything was going smoothly… until one night, the general followed the sweet scent of an omega—only to find Ren, his personal attendant, standing there. Him? An Omega in heat? But that couldn’t be. He didn’t any hire Omega, and Betas weren’t supposed to have such a sweet scent. So certainly… he had to be an Omega hiding his identity. And it was the very servant who screamed, “DEMON!” on their first meeting. Zayden becomes consumed with the need to find out the truth. But as desire clashes with hatred, and secrets unravel, one thing becomes dangerously clear: The servant he thought was ordinary, is far more than he appeared. How long can Ren keep his identity buried? And what happens when an Alpha who only wants to claim… meets an omega who was never meant to be touched? DISCLAIMER: This story is set in a fictional, fantasy, omegaverse (ABO) universe. All lore are the author’s imagination. Content Warning: This novel contains scenes of violence, trauma, abuse, and other mature themes that may be disturbing to some readers. Please read cautiously. This is also a slow burn. So if you expect quick progress, then it might not be your cup of tea. And lastly, as I always say, understand the characters. Do not judge them. Enjoy the read!

100 Tales of love

Love has existed for as long as breath — yet no two hearts have ever felt it the same way. In every century, in every soul, love rewrites itself. It can bloom in a single glance, die in a whispered goodbye, or live quietly for a lifetime without ever being spoken. “100 Tales of Love” is not just a collection of stories — it is a journey across the infinite landscapes of the human heart. In these hundred tales, author Shivam Malik weaves a tapestry of emotions that transcends time, culture, and language — where each story becomes a mirror, showing a different face of love: passionate, forbidden, tender, lost, eternal, unspoken, and reborn. This book does not tell what love is. It shows what love feels like — in all its fragile, unpredictable, and breathtaking forms. Within these pages, you will travel through worlds both real and imagined — from ancient temples where lovers carve promises into stone, to futuristic cities where robots learn what it means to miss someone. You’ll meet a blind poet who falls for the voice of a stranger in a storm; a soldier who writes letters to a woman who may never exist; a painter who creates portraits of the same face for centuries without realizing it’s his soulmate reborn. Each story stands alone, yet together, they form one grand narrative — a mosaic of what it means to love and to be loved. Some tales end in laughter, others in tears, and a few in silence so deep that the silence itself becomes love. From the sweetness of first love to the ache of last goodbyes, from the devotion between friends to the invisible bond between souls who never meet — every tale carries a truth waiting to be felt rather than explained. “100 Tales of Love” belongs to everyone. These stories speak to hearts regardless of age, nation, or belief. They remind us that love is the one language that never needs translation. Whether it’s a king who gives up his throne for a single touch of sincerity, a girl who finds love through letters from her future self, or two strangers who meet in a dream and wake remembering the same song — each tale carries the pulse of universality. Shivam Malik doesn’t just write about romance; he captures the soul of connection — the quiet courage to feel deeply in a world that often forgets how. His words read like music — lyrical, poetic, and timeless — turning every page into a heartbeat. Unlike traditional anthologies, “100 Tales of Love” is designed to feel like a single journey through a hundred lifetimes. Each story is unique, yet there are faint threads connecting them — whispers of souls meeting again, of promises carried through centuries, of emotions that never truly end. The book explores love in all its dimensions: Romantic love that burns and heals. Familial love that anchors and forgives. Platonic love that nourishes and grows. Self-love that saves. Eternal love that transcends even death. Some stories are just a page long — lightning strikes of emotion — while others unfold like slow rivers of longing. Together, they capture the full spectrum of love’s language: from whispers to storms, from candlelight to galaxies. In a world obsessed with speed and distraction, “100 Tales of Love” asks the reader to pause — to feel again. To remember that every person we meet, every goodbye we say, every glance we share, adds another chapter to the great human story of love. Because love is not only what we find in another person — it’s what awakens in us when we dare to care, to wait, to hope, to forgive, to dream. And when you reach the final page, you’ll realize the hundredth tale is your own. “Love isn’t one story — it’s a hundred voices speaking at once. Some are whispers, some are cries, but together, they form the music of being alive.” — El'don xi “100 Tales of Love” is a book for dreamers, for believers, for the broken and the whole — a masterpiece of emotion that reminds us that though love takes a thousand forms, its essence never changes.

Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
