Balthasar Gelt Campaign

The Ludus King

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY: THE GO-TO CRYPTO RECOVERY SOLUTION

As a PR Specialist in Illinois, I was recently involved in a project that required collaborating with an influencer to promote a client's brand. To ensure the success of the campaign, we decided to partner with a popular influencer who seemed to have a substantial online following. However, things took a turn for the worse when it became apparent that we had fallen victim to a scam. The influencer we paid $1,800 to promote the brand turned out to be fake, with no genuine engagement or interest from their followers. After making the payment, the influencer became unresponsive and failed to deliver any content as agreed. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the influencer’s profiles and engagement numbers were artificially inflated, and there was no real influence on their audience.

Battle in Camo: The Warfront Beyond the Veil

The year was 20XX, and the United States of America, once the self-proclaimed leader of the free world, had become its own worst enemy. It all started with an egoist president, a man who campaigned on rage and ruled with greed. He promised to "Make America Great Again—For Real This Time." But his policies weren't about greatness. They were about power. About control. The economy crumbled under the weight of corruption. Infrastructure collapsed. The rich hoarded resources, while the poor scraped for survival. The people who had voted for him—out of desperation, ignorance, or sheer stupidity—realized too late they had been sold a lie. Then came the phrase that changed everything. "Deny, Defend, Depose." It started as graffiti on city walls. A whisper in underground forums. A chant in the streets. It was a call to arms, a beacon for the oppressed. And it had a name attached to it. Luigi Mango. A man who shouldn't have existed. A man who the government feared more than war itself. Some called him a hero. Others called him a terrorist. The government labeled him Public Enemy Number One, blaming him for the assassination of a powerful healthcare CEO—a man whose greed had denied millions access to life-saving treatments. But there was a problem. The evidence didn't add up. The security footage was grainy. The photo of the alleged killer didn't match Luigi's description. And the timeline placed him miles away from the crime scene. Was Luigi Mango even real? Or was he just a fabrication, a symbol people created to give their anger a name? Either way, the world was watching. Luigi was thrown into a high-security prison, cut off from the outside world. The government threatened to execute him if the protests didn't stop. But instead of quelling the rebellion, the move backfired. The people took to the streets, their chants echoing through the ruins of once-great cities: "Free Luigi Mango!" The phrase became a rallying cry, a symbol of resistance against a corrupt and broken system. Graffiti of Luigi's face—often accompanied by the words "Deny, Defend, Depose"—covered every wall. Protesters wore T-shirts with his name, and social media was flooded with hashtags demanding his release. But the government didn't relent. They doubled down, deploying the military to crush the uprising. Cities burned. The streets ran red with blood. Yet, the people refused to back down. They had nothing left to lose. As America tore itself apart, the rest of the world saw an opportunity. Countries that had long resented American dominance began to flex their power. Nations formed new alliances. Old rivalries erupted into full-scale war. The first bomb dropped on Washington D.C. at 3:42 AM. By sunrise, New York was burning. The president, in his final act of desperation, launched nuclear weapons at anyone he deemed a threat. China. Russia. The Middle East. Even European allies weren't spared. The world retaliated. Fire consumed the planet. And then, the portals appeared. During a brutal battle, a strange rift materialized on the battlefield—a swirling vortex of light and energy in the shape of a gate. The soldiers, the governments, the rebels—all froze. It was as if time itself held its breath. The smell of burning corpses and gunpowder still filled the air, but for the first time in years, there was silence.

The Iron Falcon

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

Witchbound Villain

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. Please note that this work will also be made available on Scribblehub and Royal Road, in addition to its initial publication here. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes. But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him. And he succeede—nope. She happened. A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game. "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit. Usually, the devil did the tempting. But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill. What to expect from this story: A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing. Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance! Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. You’re welcome.

HIRE A BITCOIN FRAUD RECOVERY HACKER DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION

Investing in Ethereum (ETH) seemed like a promising opportunity, fueled by my skepticism toward fiat money and decades-long preference for alternative mediums like computers. Intrigued by cryptocurrency and its potential, I encountered an aggressively advertised second-generation bank trading app claiming monopolistic exclusivity and future rewards through its wallet. Their professional branding, assurances of regulation, and convincing logos made the offer seem legitimate. I conducted due diligence—verifying the bank’s registration, legitimacy, and operational hours. However, scammers are often steps ahead of regulators. Sophisticated phishing campaigns and fraudulent websites mimicking legitimate entities made their scheme convincing. I sent BTC as an initial investment, only to realize it was a scam. The untraceable nature of cryptocurrency made recovery seem impossible. Bitcoin, often exploited by fraudsters, is two and a half times more likely to be used in investment-related scams than other payment methods. Fortunately, I recovered a significant portion of my funds with the help of **Dunamis Cyber Solution Recovery**, restoring both my finances and my confidence. This experience taught me the importance of vigilance, thorough research, and seeking professional assistance when needed. I emerged smarter and more determined to avoid similar pitfalls in the future. contact@dunamiscybersolution.com +13433030545 Dunamiscyber@solution4u.com

But have you seen the budget Primordials allocate to logistics? Absolutely criminal. Somebody had to step in and make sure the real priorities – like making a quality Wheel of Faith anime animated by Ufotable – got the attention they deserved.” The Kickstarter Chronicles isn’t just a book. It’s a revolution. It’s a declaration. It’s a movement (patent pending).

Want to meet canon characters from every corner of the Wheel? They're here. Want to see fan-submitted fighters duke it out with insane powers? Possibly. Want to join the chaos yourself?

Again. And don’t worry. No spoilers here. But let’s just say, by the end of this story, you’ll be (hopefully) laughing, crying, and maybe even reaching for your wallet. So what are you waiting for?
