Tinkers Folly

The Tinkerer’s Odyssey

The Tinkerer’s Odyssey by Elva Rupee Catherine’s life ended in a flash, but it didn’t end alone. When a freak accident transports her soul into the body of a sickly eight-year-old girl named Sylvie in a strange, medieval world, Catherine is left with nothing but confusion, pain, and a burning desire for answers. With no explanation for how or why she’s here, Catherine must navigate this bizarre new world and the memories of a life she never lived. Sylvie’s family lives in poverty, scraping by in a rundown town overshadowed by a crumbling castle. Her mother is a master of utility skills, her father a soldier, and her brother, Sylas, dreams of following in his footsteps. But Sylvie’s memories are full of sickness and regret, and Catherine is determined to change her fate. As Catherine begins to explore her new life, she uncovers a shocking secret—the world is governed by a strange system of skills and status screens. People level up their abilities, unlocking new powers that define their place in society. But Catherine isn’t like everyone else. Her past life as repair shop owner, a fixer of broken electronics, has left her with a gift no one in this world can explain—The Tinkerer’s Blessing. At first, it seems like a mere quirk of fate. But when Catherine accidentally uses her ability to repair a broken object with nothing but her mind and hands, something powerful stirs within her. The more she taps into this ability, the more it reveals something greater: the potential to change everything. Catherine’s gift might be the key to escaping this world and returning home, but with every discovery comes danger. Whispers of dark forces, and hidden agendas. Can Catherine truly return to her world, or will she be trapped forever in a life she never chose?

The Tales of Theltorra

In the folds between realities, where the laws of nature bend and break, lies a realm that defies mortal understanding. Theltorra - an endless plain where five suns paint the sky and thirteen moons weave their silver threads through the cosmic tapestry. Here, day and night are not mere passages of time, but territories carved into the very fabric of existence. Stand in the Twilight Lands, where most dare to build their lives, and you might see it all - the perpetual radiance of the Eternal Day bleeding into the horizon on one side, its searing light a prison for those who dared to hide their crimes in shadow. Turn to the other horizon, and the endless night awaits, a darkness so complete it serves as judgment for those who sinned beneath open skies. But do not mistake Theltorra for a simple realm of justice and punishment. This is a world where magic and machine have danced so long they no longer remember which partner led first. Watch as a traditional dragon soars past, its scales shimmering with elemental might, while its mechanical cousin thunders alongside, its breath transmuting matter through the very laws of chemistry. Ancient unicorns gallop through twilight meadows, their horns glowing with healing magic, as their cybernetic counterparts race beside them, dispensing nanites that knit flesh and mend bone. Here, a hobbit might rise to challenge gods, while a demon's AI construct ponders the nature of digital souls. Elven bio-engineers work alongside dwarven cyber-miners, their differences set aside in the eternal competition for resources - at least for today. Tomorrow, they might be at each other's throats, for the law of the jungle rules all, from the humblest goblin tinker to the mightiest wandering god. Speaking of gods - look to the spaces between spaces, and you might glimpse them. The wandering ones, hundreds from each species, beings who transcended their mortal forms through power, immortality, and mysteries yet untold. Some were once Wardens, those eternal guardians of Day and Night who watched over their realms until they ascended beyond even that duty. Others found their own paths to divinity, their legends whispering hope to those who dream of following in their footsteps. But take care as you travel these lands. The bridges spanning prison zones might seem secure, the blockades impenetrable, but Theltorra brooks no complacency. In the Eternal Day, prisoners harvest resources under never-ending light, while in the Eternal Night, their counterparts toil in perpetual darkness. Even free citizens brave these zones, testing their might against the realm's harshest conditions for the chance at gathering precious materials. This is Theltorra - where human cyborgs wage war against demon-sourced AI, where hobbit and goblin carry on an age-old rivalry with both blade and binary code, where every being from the smallest nanite collective to the greatest mechanical dragon might one day rise to godhood. A realm of endless plains and endless possibilities, where light and shadow do not mark time's passage, but territory's boundaries, and where the next wandering god might arise from the most unexpected place. Welcome to the eternal plains, traveler. Mind the dragons - both flesh and metal - and remember: in Theltorra, destiny knows no species, only potential.

A Traveler's Lost Dreams

Before there was light there were the Nightmares, and before that, there were the things that feasted upon the nightmares, the dark. Those that were born from the Darkness, at the birth of the First light of the Cosmic Sands that helped the worlds take shape. When the very first of the soul-possessing creatures, the lightborne witnessed the darkness, they sought to destroy it, fearing that would consume all things in its Voidfull Sea, but in their folly, their hubris had undone a fundamental aspect of the cosmos. Without the threat of the darkness to stave off the nightmares, all the worlds within each stellar grain became the prey they could hunt without limit. Grain by grain, world by world was lost, consumed by the nightmares, expanding the reach of the Voidfull Sea. But their hunger would not go unchecked, as the lightborne that remained, sought to correct the faults of their ancestors. Using the antithesis of the nightmare's might, they empowered a chosen few with their dreams, and with that, they forced the nightmares back into the Voidfull Sea. Using their light, they shielded the Cosmic Sands, from the reach of the abyssal waters. But where there is light, darkness will be born to soon consume it, and for some, the light isn't strong enough to keep the nightmares away. These grains, these unguarded worlds, without their light, their now, dustborne find those with that can once again wield the might of their dreams. For someone must, they must bear our dreams with the strength to achieve them. They may never have wanted a part in this ageless war, but they have now been entrusted with our hopes, the very last of our Dreams.

Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by “I’m Ok – You’re Ok”, the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller’s “Muslim Friends–Their Faith and Feeling”, this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters. Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.

Entwined souls

This book is silver tier winner of webnovel contest WFP #21 Under "angels and demons series". A demon met an angel in a club accidentally and saved her life. From then the angel sticks with him no matter what. She put every effort to make him fall for her. But did they fell in love coincidentally or is it the fate repeating itself again. Come and join the journey of Asbeel, the first fallen angel and now demon the prince of hell and his half-angel. And see how they fight with heaven to live their forbidden love. Excerpt- "Abigail" A gut wrenching cry shook heaven and earth. An angel was flying towards heaven. His blood shot eyes have so much grief that even angel bowed his head. But the creator was standing there unperturbed. "Why Father, why did you kill Abigail." He asked with so much remorse that blood started seeping out of his eyes. "You were a watcher, yet you led astray the whole Grigori of watchers by falling for the daughters of men. " God asked back, the voice was calm and collected but the swirling storm behind him is a clear indication of his anger towards his own creation. "But I love her father." He begged, pleaded for the life of his lover whose eyes has turned hollow. Those eyes who had kept him spellbound. More blood fell from his eyes. "An angel can't love a human, it's forbidden and you know that." His father rebuked. He was annoyed at the folly of his child. "But we all are your child father, if you want to punish, then punish me. Let her live." If one has to go, then let him be the one. He hugged the soulless body as if he wants to be one with her. His father smirked, "you, my child, has got the worse retribution for your sin" He looked at his father, uncertain what other things he had planned. "She died an easy death, but you, you will live alone an immortal life feeling the pain to be the reason for your beloved dead." The creator explained his innocent child. "Just because she is a human," he asked the obvious can't believe that God can be so cruel to his own creations. "Then let him be the angel." He declared. Growing his nails, he stabbed himself without an ounce of hesitation. His hand encompasses bright light energy and inflict it in his lover's body. The soulless body took a deep breath and her cheeks turned rosy again, the lifeless eyes fluttered and he smiled. He caressed her cheeks and took her fallen strand of hair in his hand, putting it back behind her ears. He looked at the stunned face of his father and smiled. Just then he fell from heaven, losing all the energy his body had, and died. But the good was beyond control. His creation has disgraced his gift. But he can't take the power the fallen angel has gifted to his beloved. "Throw her back to earth before she wakes up. She would never be accepted as angel here." With that he vanished in the air. After 100 centuries.
