When Rome Stood Firm

The year is 476 AD. The great beast that is the Western Roman Empire lies dying. Outside the dismal fog-bound walls of Ravenna the barbarian king Odoacer waits patiently with his horde. He is ready to claim the corpse of a civilization that ruled the world for a thousand years. Inside the cold palace sits Romulus Augustus. He is merely fifteen years old. The world sees him as nothing more than a puppet emperor wearing a crown too heavy for his head. He is a placeholder draped in purple silk waiting for history to finally turn the page on Rome. His own people whisper insults behind his back and call him the Little Disgrace. But fate is cruel. When his father, the empire's last true protector, dies in the mud, the illusion of safety shatters completely. The siege begins and Romulus finds himself abandoned. His generals are traitors looking for a new master and his own guards prepare to trade his young life for their safety. He is trapped in a city ready to surrender him to the butchers outside. Yet in the deepest valley of despair a strange new strength is born. Broken by grief and terror Romulus sheds the skin of the frightened boy. He refuses to be a sacrificial lamb. Armed only with a stolen dagger and a burning need for vengeance he crawls out of his besieged city through the filth of the sewers. He goes not to escape but to hunt. Tonight the boy king dies and something else takes his place. History has written Rome’s obituary but the Wolf of Ravenna is about to rewrite it in blood.

The Eternal King Enki — The Undying Witness

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

Reborn to Roast the East India Company with My Emperor System

In modern India, Vihaan Roy, a 28-year-old workaholic businessman running his family’s sprawling import-export empire, dies in a tragic car crash. Obsessed with Indian history and trade, he regrets burying himself in work, yearning for a life of joy. As he fades, he wishes for a second chance to truly live. Reborn in 1600 Surat as Jai Vora, son of a middle-class spice merchant, he awakens with the Emperor System, a mystical interface granting stats (Power, Stamina, Endurance, Health, Wisdom, Agility, Perception, Luck, Charm), starting with Wisdom=100 and Charm=1, and the Ability Detector to scan others’ stats and loyalty. Jai spends his early years savoring life’s pleasures—market games, street food, family warmth—in his bustling port city. But when the East India Company’s ship Hector docks in 1608, his past-life memories flare: these foreigners will plunder his homeland. At age 8, with Charm=7 and a knack for rallying allies, Jai vows to roast the EIC with wit, trade, and sabotage, building an empire to rival theirs. The Emperor System fuels his rise, offering quests (e.g., recruit followers with stats above 10), stat-stealing (with risky backlash), and loyalty perks (x2 learning at +10 loyalty, system benefits at +50). Normal folk have stats of 8-10, elites hit 20-25, prodigies boast 40-100, and nobles range 20-80, but Jai’s stats can soar un-constrained, marking him as a legend. From charming street kids to outsmarting Mughal nobles, Jai grows from a clever boy to a trade titan. He faces cutthroat rivals, EIC schemers, and rare prodigies (like a Power=80 warrior), using his Ability Detector to recruit or steal stats. Quirky moments—like “branding” spices or tossing modern slang into Mughal courts—clash with heartbreak, as betrayals and losses (family, loyal allies) test his resolve. By his 20s, Jai commands trade routes, influences emperors, and battles EIC fleets, his Charm and Wisdom turning foes into followers. Will he rewrite history, balancing joy and duty, or will the system’s temptations (stat-stealing’s cost) doom his dream? Reborn to Roast the East India Company with My Emperor System is a thrilling blend of historical intrigue, game-like progression, and swaggering defiance, as Jai Vora becomes the GOAT of India.

MANDÉ : The Lion Awakens

The Mandé is a world governed by Nyama, the vital force that animates all things — as destructive as it is protective. Long ago, the kingdoms tore each other apart without end. Bloody wars, cities burned to ash, conquests without limits… The Mandé fractured under the ambitions of the Faama (Kings) and under the wrath of spirits, some of whom had been corrupted by humans through the dark side of Nyama. To stop the collapse of the world, twelve kingdoms — the Twelve Pillars of the Mandé — swore a sacred Oath in Niani, the Heart of the Mandé. A pact meant to restore peace, protect the balance of Nyama, and prevent another total war forever. The Oath was so powerful that it gave birth to Tasuma, the Oath Bird, a Primordial Manifestation and blazing guardian of balance. But today, Soumaoro Kanté, the Sorcerer-King of Sosso, has broken the order of the world. He has placed himself outside the Oath: neither Tasuma, nor the spirits, nor the living can judge his kingdom anymore. His power devours cities and memories. As the balance of the Mandé falters, a young heir of destiny rises: Djata (Soundjata Keita). Born under a forgotten sign… Destined to become the Mansa Supreme, an existence capable of harmonizing Nyama, awakening the ancient forces, and re-tuning a fractured world. To save the Mandé, Djata must face the shadows of the past… and the man who defied the Primordial Manifestation of the Oath, shaking the order of the world itself. The Mandé is fading. Its future rests on a single heartbeat — the heartbeat of the Lion.

The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches. To survive, Oskar must change history itself: strengthen Germany without unleashing darker futures stop the world from repeating its greatest tragedies outsmart rival princes, generals, ministers and avoid accidentally starting WWI early with an Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner. Armed with a century of historical knowledge, modern logic, and a dwarf attendant who constantly questions his sanity, the most unwanted prince of Prussia stands at the dawn of a new century… Determined to reshape the fate of Europe— or die trying (again).
