Chakravartin - From a Clerk's Son to Emperor of India

In 2025, Eshaan Vikram Shresth is an archaeology professor at the New Nalanda University - brilliant, overlooked, and quietly consumed by a love of civilizations that died before the world could appreciate them. When he follows a hidden alignment in the ruins of the original Nalanda into a subterranean sanctum, he stumbles upon a secret the world has kept for over two millennia. The Nine Unknown Men, the legendary society founded by Emperor Ashoka the Great after the Kalinga War, are real. They have kept their vigil across centuries, guarding nine books of knowledge so dangerous that no single era could be trusted with them. And one of those books - the Ninth, has been waiting. For him. The Quill of Sociogenesis, dark and iridescent and impossibly alive, does not ask Eshaan's permission. It chose him. And next thing Eshaan knew, he is ten years old, frail, suffering from a disease and lying in a clerk's house in Pataliputra and the year is 1178 CE. He carries two things into this new life: the accumulated knowledge of a modern historian who has spent his career studying exactly what went wrong with India, and the mark of a cosmic mandate written in his own flesh. He knows the invasions coming. He knows the betrayals, the fractures, the missed chances. He has read every book, studied every empire that rose and fell in this soil. Now he will build the one that doesn't. Disclaimer - This Novel series is an Isekai medieval India historical fiction. I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings and would like to trace an alternative history for Indian Subcontinent, exploring the possibilities if the events unfolded in a different way.

Wildfire: The Flame that Ate the World

Living a rather mundane life, William Sigerson, a rising detective, finds himself tangled in a secretive mastermind's scheme to bring destruction to his world, changing his life forever. Wrongly framed as the culprit while investigating the crimes, he must first escape the clutches of the Enforcers, before leaving his country to form his own counterattack against the enemy.  Unfortunately for Sigerson, the opponent he's up against is far beyond his expectations. Alliances snap, war erupts, and chaos takes over the world, as he struggles to adapt to the constant fighting between countries with rebels and smaller criminal gangs all struggling among themselves to gain power for themselves. Sudden technological advancements cause steam-powered machinery to roam the land. Zeppelins fly around like giant balloons, wreaking havoc. Giant metallic war machines shred through towns with ease. Soldiers ravage through the once peaceful lands of Ecclesia and Revalty alike, destroying towns and cities as the leaders of both countries go back and forth in the war, exchanging blows like chess pieces. Seeking shelter in a neighbouring country seems safe... until he finds out that everything had been planned from the beginning in order to trap him there. To defeat the demon pulling the strings, he must change his mindset to win. To dominate. Even if it means becoming a demon himself. WHAT TO EXPECT: A smart MC who doesn't act like a genius in one scene then finds himself outsmarted by a toddler Strategy. A lot of it. In fact, most of the story is actually one large scheme made up of tinier strategies with war elements involved. Worldbuilding. I'll try my best to provide as much detail and backstory on the different countries mentioned in the story. And lastly, puzzle solving for those who like brain twisters... Chapters are published every Monday and Friday
