Starting At Old Age

The Shah of the Old Ones

Yash Shah, a 17-year-old Mumbai launda (lad), had simple dreams—pass his engineering exams, dodge his mom’s shaadi (marriage) rants, and enjoy life with unlimited chai and memes. Fate, however, had other plans. One chai spill, one laptop zap, and BOOM—he’s got reality-breaking powers and an all-access pass to India’s supernatural underworld. Here, rakshasas (demons) run underground casinos, yakshis (spirits) hold kitty parties, and prophecies are treated like stock market predictions. Between dodging death, uncovering ancient secrets, and becoming the unwilling star of a doomsday prophecy, Yash accidentally builds a harem—a fiery warrior princess, a sly nagin (serpent) CEO, and a nerdy witch who quotes Chanakya. Oh, and did he mention that some of them are turning into yanderes? Armed with jugaadu (hacky) tactics, sarcasm sharper than a katana, and zero plans, Yash must navigate a world where divine beings, cursed relics, and cosmic conspiracies threaten to turn his life into a Bollywood blockbuster—one where he’s both the hero and the prime target. Thrill Level: Dabbang meets Dragon Ball Z Humor Quotient: Meme pages vs. your dad’s WhatsApp Survival Odds: 0% if he doesn’t figure out his powers... 100% if he keeps charming goddesses and monsters alike. Now, the only question is: Will Yash save the world? Or will he be too busy escaping his latest yandere admirer? Disclaimer: All characters, names, and mythical elements in this fiction are products of the author’s ulta-pulta (whacky) imagination. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or existing myths is purely bekaar (coincidental nonsense). Stories of rakshasas, yakshis, and supernatural phenomena are fictionalized for masala (entertainment) and not intended to disrespect any religion, culture, or your bua’s (aunt’s) ghost anecdotes. The author pranaam karta hai (bows respectfully) to all faiths and traditions. This story contains over-the-top drama, magic, and desi (Indian) tropes—please don’t test chai-spill superpowers at home. No laptops or kundalis were harmed during writing.

OLD-WORLD EXTRA

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero. Villain.} *Expect this novel to start slowly; it begins ramping up at the halfway point of volume 1. *The Magic System is introduced at the end of volume 1, read my review and Auxiliary chapter for more on that. *Warning: The main characters have emotions like proper humans. So don't expect your usual emo kid as the MC and come complaining later.
