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.

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?
