Transmigrated Indian Boy: Job Change to the Arcane Technomancer

In the year 2025, Ankush Halder, a struggling mechanical engineering student at Jadavpur University, finds himself at a crossroads. With three backlogs and placement season looming, his future looks bleak. But when he wakes up one morning, he is no longer in the world he once knew. Instead, he has transmigrated five years into the past, to a version of Earth where the world underwent a monumental shift in 1950—an interdimensional invasion that expanded the planet 100 times in size, dividing nations with ferocious monster-infested forests and forcing humanity into an era of magic, dungeons, and awakened abilities. Now an 18-year-old high school student in this altered timeline, Ankush must navigate a society where power is everything, and one’s talent and attributes determine their fate. With the Awakening Exam as the first major hurdle, he quickly realizes the fundamental shift in human intelligence and education. The system that once rewarded hard work is now rigged against the weak, with the wealthy hoarding resources, attribute-enhancing fruits, and talents to dominate the playing field. Armed with the knowledge of his previous life and an engineer’s analytical mind, Ankush refuses to be just another powerless commoner. In the Pre-Awakening Exam, he surpasses all limits, answering 600 questions—an unheard-of feat—but is expelled before anyone learns of his achievement. Branded as an average failure, he now enters the Awakening Dungeon, where he must forge his own path, unlock his true profession, and rise beyond the limitations of the system itself. Will his knowledge from modern engineering and science give him an edge in this magic-infused world? Can he survive in a world where power is dictated by talent and bloodline? In a world where monsters, dungeons, and professions determine one's fate, Ankush Halder is ready to change the game.

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Lost Journal of a Doomed Transmigrator

I woke up in a strange forest, surrounded by monsters and strangers. No explanation, no warning—just a strange glowing Sphere in my dreams and the overwhelming instinct to survive. I'm not the only one. Others were thrown into this nightmare, each with their own Sphere, each fighting for strength, control, and power. Some formed alliances. Others turned to murder. The strong preyed on the weak, and the weak died screaming. I refused to die. With every kill, my Sphere grew stronger, feeding on the energy of the creatures in this cursed place. But I was never the strongest—just the most desperate. While others sought to rule, I chose to survive. Yet, no matter how much I tried to stay hidden, gods had other plans. Blood was spilled, a war was waged, and by the time it was over, only a handful of us remained. The greater truth—this forest, this "dungeon", was only the beginning. A vast world lay beyond its borders, filled with kingdoms, ancient magic, and creatures far worse than the ones we had already faced. The Sphere was more than just power; it was a curse, a trap, a key to something far greater than any of us understood. Something that exceeded our theories, and even endangered our old home, Earth. And we were never meant to survive. This is my story. My confession. My journal. _______________________________ The story does include romance, and a lot of tragedy. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad under DOMinee. New chapters every week!
