history

This story is inspired by the life of one of football’s modern masters, a player renowned for his vision, intelligence, and ability to control the rhythm of the game. It follows the journey of Kellan De Vries, a boy from a small town whose love for football begins on quiet streets and humble pitches. From his earliest days, he displays talent beyond his years, but his path is far from easy. The narrative explores Kellan’s growth, both on and off the pitch, as he faces challenges, navigates personal obstacles, and learns the value of patience, discipline, and resilience. Each stage of his life — from youth academies to professional leagues, and from local competitions to international recognition — shapes him into a player capable of influencing every game he plays. Structured in a cinematic, chapter-by-chapter format, the story delves into the emotions, determination, and quiet strength that define Kellan. While football forms the backdrop, the book is as much about character, perseverance, and personal growth as it is about sport. This is a tale of ambition, talent, and the journey of a boy who dreams in silence but lets his actions speak on the world’s biggest stages. It celebrates the challenges, victories, and lessons that make a player truly unforgettable.

A modern history student awakens in ancient Kalinga, a proud and advanced civilization on the eastern coast of Bharat. Rather than inventing or ruling, he strengthens what already exists—encouraging scholars, guilds, and merchants to think systematically, record knowledge, and connect ideas across disciplines. When Ashoka’s Magadhan empire threatens Kalinga, the kingdom survives not through brute force, but through preparation, unity, and institutions that outlast individuals. Trade, learning, and cooperation carry Kalinga’s influence across Southeast Asia and eventually unify the subcontinent without erasing its diversity. Generations pass, empires rise and fall, yet Kalinga’s civilization remains unbroken. In the end, the protagonist returns to the present to find a world transformed—one where his homeland was never conquered, never colonized, and became one of the greatest civilizations in history.

In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose crown should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: “Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule.” And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS—none-knoweth. .............................................................. Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos. ​This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. ​In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth’s deep past—Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana—woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word." ​A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board. ​I hope you enjoy the "Game." ​Art Disclaimer ​Cover Illustration: "MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI" by Sidney Sime (1906). ​ ​Note on the Artwork: The illustration used for this cover is a masterpiece by Sidney Sime, originally created for Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegāna. As this artwork was published over 100 years ago, it resides in the Public Domain. ​While the image originally depicted the deity Mana-Yood-Sushai, it has been chosen for this work to represent the Great Stillness of YOD-VAV-HEH. I use this art as a tribute to the golden age of mythic illustration that inspired the tone of Gods of Pangaeos.

His title, Baron of the Ashen Frontier, is little more than a death sentence wrapped in ceremony. But Kael is no longer who he once was. Inside his body now lives the soul of Adrian Cole, a pragmatic U.S. Army lieutenant with a background in agricultural science, military logistics, and battlefield history. Armed with modern knowledge and a mysterious Danger System that warns him of threats to his life, reputation, or sanity, Adrian refuses to die quietly in exile.

Can he still court death, with obsession breathing down his neck and the world rotting around them? "He, who could heal, chose a scythe. And he, who destroys, chose a shawl." A tale of decay, desire, and denial. Socially inept lab genius × Opportunistic nepo baby
