Empire Ascension: The Rise of the Fated One

This is the story of a modern man who transmigrates to 16th-century India in a parallel world after dying to save his first crush on a date. He regresses as a lowly-ranked soldier in the camp of Hemu, the last northern Hindu king, who is fated to lose and die at the hands of the Mughals. With his modern knowledge and past experiences, the protagonist alters the course of history, forcing the Mughals to surrender and retreat beyond the Ravi River, which is in modern-day Pakistan. As a reward, he is granted trading rights and becomes the emperor’s personal attendant. Using this opportunity, he sets out to reshape the empire. By promoting private enterprise, establishing trading company, and creating opportunities for the lower communities, he begins to shift India’s economy away from the feudal system toward modern capitalism. And all this began with the advent of his mercenary army, which excelled in firearms far ahead of its time. His journey is filled with trials, including internal turmoil, political strife, and the looming threat of invasion from the Mughals in the west, Tibet from the north and the Dutch and Portuguese in the south. As the emperor’s trusted aide, the protagonist not only rescues the crumbling empire but also forges his own path, eventually claiming the title of emperor himself. Join him on this incredible journey of empire's ascension, as he explores how India could have been in the 16th century if history had taken a different course. With just one battle's result, the fate of the entire world is transformed.

Daily life of a cultivation judge

Yang Qing sighed as he gazed upon the black building that stood tall piercing the skies above with an inviolable aura around it. "The Order sure is black-hearted," he angrily thought as he made his way into the building begrudgingly. The building could be considered his home away from home and a source of endless grief for him due to its unforgiving working hours. The building housed the courtrooms of the Cultivation Order Society, an organization founded to maintain a semblance of order in the ruthless cultivation world of the southern continent who if left to their own devices would sink the whole continent to the ground. Due to how impetuous cultivators were, the cases never stopped. "Yi Jie, what do we have today?" "Two cultivators at the palace realm fought over a treasure and destroyed half of the territory of the blue deer kingdom in their fight, A rogue cultivator is suing the owner of the falling meteor blacksmith shop for selling him a faulty saber that keeps attracting lightning tribulations. A cultivator suffering from pill poisoning is blaming it on the white hilltop restaurant as he suspects they are feeding their spirit beasts pills to make them bigger and fatter. And the last case is 500 families are suing a cultivator by the name of Ren Fu for being negligent as a husband and a father whilst also pilfering their resources dry as he moves from place to place.," Awkward silence ensues........... Join me as we follow Yang Qing in his role as a judge in the Cultivation Order Society with cases and troubles that never seem to end. Fair warning the story has multiple POVs.

The President's Shadow

Synopsis: The President's Shadow The Dark Secret of the President is a gripping political thriller that weaves together themes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Set in a fictional, modern-day Muslim country, the story follows investigative journalist Aisha Khan as she uncovers a dark conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the government. Plot Overview Amir Hassan, the charismatic and popular president, seems to have everything under control. Known for his sharp political acumen, he projects an image of strength, unity, and leadership. Behind this façade, however, lies a web of lies, deceit, and long-buried secrets. Amir has spent years building his empire, with the help of his ruthless advisor, Zayd Rahman, who operates in the shadows, managing scandals and eliminating threats. Aisha Khan, an intrepid journalist, is known for her unflinching dedication to exposing corruption. She is determined to dig deeper into the presidency, believing that Amir’s administration isn’t as clean as it appears. When Aisha stumbles upon whispers of a covert military operation called “Operation Desert Flame” and the mysterious name of a high-ranking military figure, General Malik, she begins to uncover a dangerous conspiracy tied to civilian massacres and state-sponsored cover-ups. As Aisha delves further into her investigation, she finds herself meeting with whistleblowers who are willing to risk everything to reveal the truth. One such whistleblower provides her with key details about the government’s role in a deadly incident that was swept under the rug. Just as she’s about to receive more information, the whistleblower is murdered in front of her eyes, staged to look like an accident. This pivotal moment changes everything for Aisha, as she realizes the scale of the conspiracy she is up against. Amir Hassan, meanwhile, becomes increasingly paranoid. The pressure of maintaining his image and keeping the truth hidden begins to take a toll. Zayd Rahman, the true architect of the government’s dark secrets, taps Aisha’s phone and monitors her every move. Zayd's cunning, methodical approach ensures that anyone who threatens to expose the truth is quickly silenced. Aisha discovers evidence linking Amir and his inner circle to a secret military faction involved in covert operations, including the strike that led to numerous civilian casualties. But as she uncovers more, the danger intensifies. Zayd and his team are not just powerful—they are willing to kill to protect their interests. Amir, once a proud leader, is manipulated into believing that the only way to save his presidency is to eliminate all threats, including Aisha. As the tension mounts, Aisha finds an unexpected ally in General Malik, who admits his complicity in the operations but is tormented by guilt. Malik reveals that Zayd, not Amir, was the mastermind behind the military strikes and secret operations. Together, Aisha and Malik plan to expose the full extent of the conspiracy. But Zayd, always one step ahead, frames Malik as a scapegoat, pushing the nation into chaos and using the media to brand Aisha a traitor. The story takes a dramatic turn when Zayd, emboldened by his control over the president, makes a fatal mistake. He orders the assassination of a popular opposition leader, believing it will consolidate his power. The assassination, however, sparks massive protests, pushing the country toward the brink of civil war. The people, no longer willing to accept the lies of their leaders, rise in rebellion. Amir, trapped by his own guilt and Zayd’s manipulations, begins to unravel. The pressure mounts as protests erupt across the country, and his once-loyal supporters turn against him. In a final confrontation, Amir accuses Zayd of betrayal, realizing too late that his advisor had been using him all along. Zayd, now desperate to retain power, orchestrates a coup to seize control of the government.

No Name.u

"When a human tries to become a god, their can only be one outcome." ---------------------------------- As I opened my eyes, I was greeted with a disorienting sight. I found myself lying on a cold, metal bed, my limbs tightly bound to it. The feeling of numbness that had overtaken my arms and legs was overwhelming, and I struggled to regain any semblance of control over my body. As I looked up, I noticed multiple blindingly bright light bulbs arranged in a grid pattern on the ceiling, casting an eerie glow throughout the room. It was a sight that had become all too familiar to me over time, and yet it never failed to fill me with a sense of dread. I couldn't remember how long I had been trapped in this sterile, white room, but it felt like an eternity. My memories were hazy, my mind clouded by the constant barrage of experiments and tests that I was subjected to on a daily basis. I had lost track of time, lost track of the days and weeks that passed me by. All I knew was that I was a prisoner, a mere puppet in the hands of my captors. The experiments were brutal, each one more invasive than the last. They probed and prodded at my body, searching for answers that I didn't have. I was a lab rat, a subject for their twisted experiments, and there was nothing I could do to stop them. The pain was excruciating, but I had learned to bear it with a stoic resolve. I had no choice but to endure it, to survive in this hellish existence for another day. I had no idea what lay beyond the sterile walls of my prison anymore. The outside world felt like a distant memory, a dream that I couldn't quite grasp. I was cut off from the rest of humanity, isolated in my own personal hell. The only contact I had with the outside world was the occasional visit from my captors, who would come in to administer more tests and take samples from my body. They treated me like an object, not a person, and it was a dehumanizing experience that had left me feeling like a shell of my former self. I had no free will, no autonomy. I was a puppet, a tool to be used and discarded at will. At least, that's what they wanted me to believe. But deep down, I knew that there was still a spark of humanity within me, a will to survive and fight back against my captors. It was a small glimmer of hope, but it was enough to keep me going, to give me the strength to endure another day of torture and pain. ---------------------------- Get ready for a hell of a Roller costar plot. Remember to thank me later...…

Realm of Shadows: The Enchanted Dungeon

In a peaceful corner of the kingdom's border, lives Sebastian, a dedicated botanist whose passion for plants is only matched by his lack of adventure skills. However, he has always found solace in crafting poisons to protect himself while collecting samples in the dangerous surroundings of the enchanted forest. His tranquil life takes an unexpected turn when a group of daring adventurers arrives with a strange request: they need a doctor to accompany them on a perilous expedition, as they lack a priest capable of healing their wounds. Despite his doubts and limitations, Sebastian accepts the proposition and ventures into the forest alongside the group of adventurers. After two days of arduous trekking, they discover a recently formed dungeon. Blinded by greed, they decide to explore it, and Sebastian is compelled to follow suit. Upon reaching the depths of the dungeon, they find a mysterious red orb radiating a hypnotic glow. Beside it, a malnourished and terrified little girl watches them, trembling in fear. Convinced that the girl is the dungeon's master, they mercilessly resolve to end her life. However, Sebastian staunchly opposes such cruelty. Disregarding his objections, the adventurers press on with their plan, unleashing a critical battle. In a desperate act, Sebastian employs his deadliest poison to confront his companions. After a bitter struggle, he emerges victorious and chooses to protect the girl as if she were his own daughter. Little does Sebastian know that his noble action will unleash a series of events that will lead to the emergence in the future of the "Empress of the Eternal Night." As the secrets of the girl and her connection to the dungeon unravel, Sebastian delves into a world of magic, power, and darkness, defying his own peaceful nature as he fights to protect those he loves and confronts the terrible challenges that lie ahead. Can Sebastian face his own intertwined destiny with the girl and the hidden power that resides deep within the dungeon? Discover the secrets of the "Empress of the Eternal Night" in this thrilling and captivating story of adventure, love, and sacrifice. Embark on this thrilling tale of romance and action, where Sebastian's world is forever changed. Though I am new to writing, I assure you that it will be an engaging journey. I have always admired strong female characters in stories, so there won't be any kind of betrayal or romantic relationships between women. This story will be a long one, so don't expect the protagonist to conquer worlds and move mountains in the first 100 chapters. I prefer a slower pace, but rest assured, there will be intense battles. This is a safe haven where the heroines are strong enough to fend for themselves, eliminating the need for kidnappings.

HOW DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY RECOVER STOLEN BITCOIN ASSETS

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 contact @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguardrecovery.com As a freelance artist based just outside of Austin, I had always relied on platforms like Upwork to sell my work and connect with clients. So when I first heard about NFTs, I was intrigued by the idea of using blockchain technology to sell my art and reach new buyers. It seemed like the perfect way to break free from the limitations of traditional platforms and finally make my digital creations more profitable. I came across what appeared to be a reputable NFT marketplace. The platform had a flashy interface and showcased prominent artists, while the online art community buzzed with excitement around it. This validation gave me the confidence to dive in. I spent weeks creating a new series of digital artworks, pouring my heart and soul into them, and then minted them as NFTs on this platform. The fees associated with minting were steep around $20,000 but I believed the potential returns would more than justify the investment. With my NFTs listed, I eagerly promoted them on social media, leveraging my experience from Upwork to engage potential buyers. I received a couple of bids, which filled me with optimism. It felt like everything was finally coming together. But that excitement quickly turned into confusion and frustration when I tried to withdraw the funds from the bids. Instead of receiving my earnings, the platform displayed an error message. When I reached out to their support team, they requested additional payments to "process my withdrawal." At first, the fees seemed minor, but then they escalated, with new demands for payment popping up regularly. The requests quickly spiraled into an endless loop. Days turned into weeks, and my hopes of seeing any return on my investment faded. It dawned on me that I had been scammed. The platform was a fake, and the supposed big-name artists likely part of an elaborate scheme to lure in unsuspecting creators like me. I was devastated both financially and emotionally and felt too embarrassed to tell anyone. I feared people would think I had been reckless or gullible. After confiding in a close friend, I felt a sense of relief. She suggested I reach out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a service that specializes in tracking down stolen digital assets and helping people who have fallen victim to online scams. Desperate, I contacted them, and to my surprise, they were able to recover my funds. The experience taught me a hard lesson, but it also gave me hope that not all was lost. It reminded me that even in moments of vulnerability, reaching out for help can lead to unexpected solutions.

Operation Phoenix : A Zombie Apocalypse Novel

'From the ashes we shall rise.' Summary : Compound-Z. The bioweapon developed by China, using an ancient virus strain discovered beneath the Ice Sheets in Tibet’s Guliya Glacier. An outbreak in the bioweapons facility infected the whole city. The City could not be taken back but thankfully the PLA destroyed the whole city before the zombie virus could spread. The problem; after a year, the samples of Compound-Z was found being auctioned in the Bioweapon black market. Before Clayton Nord shut the whole thing down the moment he first discovered it, an unknown number of global players had already gotten hold of the sample, Russia among them. Now all of them are working to find the cure to the Compound-Z, because anyone who has the cure will have huge power and influence over the world, using the cure as leverage. Now Russia is threatening to release Compound-Z into major population centers in the world as they are losing the war with Ukraine. After a thorough analysis of the consequences of the Compound-Z being released into the world, Clayton Nord forms Operation Phoenix to prepare the US for the possibility of a world wide zombie apocalypse. He does everything he can to make sure that some of human civilization survives through the crisis without losing all of humanity's progress over the years. MILESTONES: OPERATION PHOENIX must hit certain milestones to encourage me to continue after the first month. The milestones are to be passed by the end of the month. And they are: Gain 30 readers following/collections by the end of November . Gain a 50 favorites/power stones by the end of November. Gain 20 reviews and ratings by the end of November. For the First Month these are the Milestones that must be passed to encourage me to continue the story. There is no requirement to support me by sponsoring the work with money for the first month but it would help greatly, for me to focus on writing the Novel. What to expect: Crazy action scenes with zombies. People like to read more about the first outbreaks through an ordinary person’s POV the moment the outbreak occurs. So in Phase One you can read the outbreak stories through multiple viewpoints in various places. Phase One would have the largest word count because of that. And some characters may not live through Phase One. Zombies are the antagonists but there will be other fleshed out human antagonists that pose a serious threat to Operation Phoenix further into the story. You will get to see the moment at start when the outbreak happens till the Zombie apocalypse ends. The struggle Clayton Nord, as commander of Operation Phoenix, faces to ensure that most of the population of the USA survives through the apocalypse, a task that is almost impossible. Rich world building and lore with unique characters. Plan for the Novel: New chapters are released every Monday. I will try to keep the timing consistent. At the end of the series I want to convert it into an ebook to sell on Amazon. The end product might be different than the chapters I have published as I try to improve upon them. Thank You so much for spending your time reading my work. You can support me via https://ko-fi.com/hughstarling

My World Now

This is my first attempt at a story. Even if no one read it I am having fun. It’s a story about a women who finds herself in a world unknown. The sky is purple and the Elves hang out in the trees to the south waiting to attack and eat you alive. This is a chapter sample Village My red wings blend well in the dark sky. This is a small village, if you can call it that, not even fifty houses. The village is on a small hill. The roofs are a light blue grass and the walls are an orange stone. There are no walls encasing the town. There are a few rows of a purple flower surrounding the village. The leafs are blue with red vines through them. These are flowers that give off a perfume that the beasts don't like. The flowers also surround part of the field that has creatures that walk on two legs. They look something like dinosaurs/large chickens with no feathers, and skin like an elephant. They are used like horses. The grass is a light blue and reaches to the forest. Not a person can be seen in the village. Not a light in any of the houses. "When darkness comes all babies should be in bed cause monsters play at night." I laugh at myself and dive. A red light lances through the sky from the column on the nearest corner of the village just missing me "Now that pisses me off," I say out loud, and let loose a black flame from my mouth. The flame hits the column. Then I let loose another. This time I hear a scream as the house I aim at bursts into flames. I blast house after house.
