Back to India 1987

Reborn in 1987 Mumbai, failed graduate Rajendra gains a system connecting him to a multiversal auction house. Starting with garlic and Bollywood tapes, he builds a dual empire: the shadowy MAKA syndicate, using divine theatrics to mask sci-fi tools, and the legitimate MANO conglomerate. As he trades Earth's spices and stories for cosmic wealth and blueprints, he navigates caste politics, corporate wars, and a crumbling Soviet Union, where a pragmatic army captain becomes his most dangerous ally. From back-alley smuggler to merchant-king bridging worlds, Rajendra must balance building a business dynasty with surviving the attention of interdimensional powers—all before the 20th century ends. When Raj Verma, an exhausted young man fresh out of college, finally fulfills his late father’s last wish, fate rewards him in the most ridiculous way: by dropping a 400-liter water tank on his head. His story should have ended there. Instead, as his consciousness rewinds through every memory in seven brutal minutes, Raj wakes up in a completely different era — Mumbai, 1987 — inside the body of a stranger named Rajendra Shakuniya. Confused, unprepared, and still mentally standing in 2025, Raj finds a glowing text-only virtual screen floating in front of him. Cheerful, playful, and utterly tone-deaf to his panic, the system greets him like an overexcited assistant: “Good morning, Host! Let’s rule the world!” In a world without smartphones, shortcuts, or safety nets… one young man from the future might become the most dangerous variable of 1987.

Gray: The Weak King of Nowhere High

Gray Aster is a certified loser. He’s lazy, weak, and more likely to trip over his own shoelaces than win a fight. His best friend, Riku, is overweight, timid, and constantly bullied. Together, they’re the last people anyone would expect to rise above the bottom of Nowhere High—a chaotic school where strength decides everything. But one ridiculous accident changes everything. When Gray accidentally knocks out the school’s most feared bully, rumors explode: whispers of hidden martial arts, genius-level tactics, and an unbeatable aura. Overnight, Gray goes from class clown to the most feared name in school. Students begin flocking to him, and soon he and Riku find themselves at the center of a growing gang made of misfits, loners, and unlikely allies. What starts as a joke quickly snowballs into a school-wide legend. As Gray’s “gang” grows into an army of over seventy students, rival schools take notice. Battles erupt on rooftops, in alleyways, and even in the cafeteria as Gray is forced to defend his accidental throne. Two girls—a cheerful classmate and a cool upperclassman—complicate things with unexpected feelings, while behind the scenes lurks Shade, a cowardly manipulator who hides in the shadows, pulling the strings of the strongest gangs to bring Gray down. Weak, clueless, and hilariously unlucky, Gray has no choice but to rise. With sheer willpower, stubbornness, and the loyalty of his strange friends, he stumbles his way through fights he should never win. This is not the story of a genius or a natural-born hero. This is the story of a hopeless, funny, weakling who refuses to stay down. A melody of action, comedy, romance, and sheer determination— Welcome to the legend of Gray, the Weak King of Nowhere High.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
