British Council Competition

Asher Carter has spent his entire life hiding his true self. In Eldermire—a city ruled by the iron grip of the Council of Purity—being different is dangerous, and some kinds of love are a crime that can cost you everything. Orphaned young and raised under the council’s suffocating laws, Asher has learned that survival means keeping his head down. By day, he works as a waiter at The Gilded Spoon, an elite café where the city’s powerful gather. By night, he dreams of a life where he doesn’t have to pretend. Then there’s Malcolm Hayes—the mayor’s son. Wealthy, charming, and engaged to the daughter of a high-ranking council member, he is everything Asher can never have. To the world, Malcolm is the perfect heir to Eldermire’s legacy of purity. But beneath the polished facade, he's living a life that isn't truly his—while being irresistibly drawn to the quiet waiter he just can't stop thinking about. One moment, they were just two men living separate lives. The next, they are fugitives. Hunted by a city that sees their love as an abomination, Asher and Malcolm’s only hope is to escape beyond Eldermire’s borders—to a place where love isn’t punished. But running won’t be easy. The city’s reach is long, its enforcers ruthless, and freedom comes at a price. In a world where their love is forbidden and betrayal is inevitable, the question isn’t just whether they can escape—but whether their love is strong enough to survive. --- Trigger Warning: This story explores dark and intense themes.

In 1751, a dying empire is reborn through the soul of a man out of time. Saifullah-ud-Doula, the newly crowned Nawab of Bengal, is not who he seems. Born with the memories of a 21st-century Bangladeshi scholar, he awakens to a world on the brink of catastrophe: the British East India Company’s shadow looms over Bengal’s riches, his court simmers with betrayal, and history’s tides are poised to drown his people in blood and subjugation. But Saifullah refuses to let fate repeat itself. Armed with knowledge of the future—and the unshakable resolve of a man who has already died once—he vows to forge a new destiny. With his fiery cousin Siraj-ud-Daula as his loyal sword arm, Saifullah launches a revolution. He modernizes Bengal’s crumbling armies with flintlock rifles and guerrilla tactics, outmaneuvers the British in cutthroat trade wars, and ignites an industrial renaissance with steam-powered looms and steel mills. His vision? A unified Indian subcontinent under an enlightened Islamic empire, where science and faith coexist, and where Bengal’s prosperity rivals—then surpasses—the British Empire itself. But ambition breeds enemies. Mir Jafar, a scheming noble, plots with Robert Clive to poison Saifullah’s reforms. Conservative clerics decry his "non-Islamic" machines, while Hindu kings and Maratha warlords eye his growing power with suspicion. Even Siraj’s loyalty wavers as Saifullah’s methods grow ruthless—taxing aristocrats into oblivion, manipulating allies, and sacrificing thousands to build railways and telegraph lines decades ahead of schedule. As Saifullah races against history, he battles not just colonial greed, but the weight of his own conscience. Can a man who remembers the horrors of Partition and poverty truly unite a fractured land? Or will his quest to save Bengal become the very tyranny he sought to destroy?

Over a thousand years ago, the world was a battlefield. People with different powers fought relentlessly, and war and chaos became a daily routine. It was an age without peace until a mysterious woman—believed by many to be a divine messenger—arrived and changed everything. She proposed a competition to determine the five strongest abilities, and the victors would be crowned as rulers. The competition was fierce and merciless, but in the end, five champions emerged: the Lightning King, the Weapon Nation King, the Fire King, the Ice King, and the Air Queen. As a reward for their triumph, they were gifted special crowns that granted them immortality. The only way they could lose their crowns—and their lives—was by being defeated by their own bloodlines. With their newfound powers, the five rulers created nations, carved out territories, and established family lines. Under their reign, knights, branch leaders, princes, princesses, commanders, generals, and lieutenants formed a new world order. However, as with all things, peace came with its price. There was never good without bad. And now, the paths of the five nations are set to cross again. Which will you choose? The prodigies of the Lightning Nation, the bloodthirsty warriors of the Weapon Nation, the fiery determination of the Fire Nation, the analytical tacticians of the Ice Nation, or the peaceful killers of the Air Nation? All options will be shown in the Five Nations.

Title: The Sovereigns of Albion: The Lost Black Dynasty of Ancient Britain Summary: Long before the reign of the Tudors and the rise of the House of Windsor, the British Isles were ruled by a forgotten line of Black royalty. This ancient dynasty, whose roots trace back to the legendary times of pre-Roman Britain, ruled with wisdom, power, and an enigmatic connection to the land. Legends speak of a powerful Queen, a descendant of the great African empires, who united the warring tribes of the British Isles. Their royal lineage intertwined with the mysticism of the Druids and the might of early Celtic warriors, and their influence shaped the course of Britain’s future, though their legacy was lost to time. This is the story of their reign, their struggle for power, and their enduring impact on the land they once ruled — a tale of culture, legacy, and sovereignty that predates the monarchs we know today.
