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.

The Warring Sky: Beneath Burning Suns

"In the heart of darkness, where the echoes of forgotten sorrows linger, a question hangs heavy in the air: What does it truly mean to fight for a cause greater than oneself? As the flames of conflict engulf a realm torn asunder by war, one must confront the specter of destiny and ask: Can one person change the course of history, or are we mere pawns in a game played by gods and men alike?" ______________________________________________________________________ In the dead of night, a chance encounter with a familiar face leads our protagonist, our MC, to a life-altering decision.

Les histoires horribles de l'Era Nocturna Vol 1 : L'épopée de Karnen

"Il y a bien longtemps, il n'y avait rien... Que les ténèbres et le néant. Arnon décida de créer la lumière pour créer la vie et plus principalement l'homme comme être conscient sous cette lumière. Mais Gridlock, le dieu des ténèbres et du néant se réveilla du fait de cette lumière et jaloux voulut créer aussi ses propres enfants dans le monde du néant et de la nuit, mais petit à petit la lumière gagnait l'univers et les créatures de Gridlock disparaissaient détruites par la lumière. Gridlock voulut par la ruse demander a Arnon d'enlever certaines étoiles, planètes, astres afin que ces enfants , qui avaient pris forme humaine pour séduire le Dieu, puissent vivre en paix et en harmonie avec la progéniture d'Arnon. Arnon trop sage et bon accepta sa demande et la terre fut donc privée de toute lumière proche et les premiers hommes apparurent dans le néant infini sans rien voir et devenant fou puis surtout devenant des proies des enfants de Gridlock. Arnon n'avait pas le temps de recréer les astres apportant la lumière a tant avant que les hommes primitifs disparaissent donc il a offert une étincelle de lumière : le feu. Par le feu, les premiers hommes purent se défendre contre les créatures de la nuit en s'en servant comme armes et moyens de créer des frontières près de leurs logis, mais petit à petit le feu se fit plus rare du fait d'un usage trop excessif et des aléas du temps et les créatures de Gridlock revinrent. Gridlock rendit par la peur et la violence le cœur de l'homme mauvais, il y eut des guerres pour cette ressource et l'homme brûla le monde et sacrifia la nature pour tuer à tout prix tous les enfants de ce mauvais dieu. Ces brasiers mondiaux éradiquèrent pratiquement les deux camps. Arnon a, pendant ce temps, réussi à créer un pouvoir de lumière dans un astre : le soleil pour éclairer ce monde. Face à une défaite imminente, Gridlock, malin, décide de négocier en tournant l'esprit de certains humains qui avaient perdu des proches pris par les forces des ténèbres. Il leur promit que leurs proches damnés ne seraient pas détruits entièrement et pourraient continuer à vivre auprès d'eux même être guérie s'ils pouvaient encore vivre loin de la lumière dans un temps sans l'astre d'Arnon appelé Nuit. Arnon, entraîné par les plaintes des hommes, décida de créer un cycle nommé jour et nuit pour les deux camps, mais encore une fois, il fut trompé par Gridlock, car la durée de ces cycles ne fut jamais actée. Des jours durèrent des semaines et des nuits des mois. Durant les périodes de lumière, les hommes pouvaient prospérer et vivre, mais quand l'era nocturna ou la nuit de Gridlock arrivait, il devait se barricader et survivre face aux monstres de la nuit, enfant de ce dieu terrible. Ainsi, il en est et ainsi, il en sera quand reviendra sur ce monde l'era Nocturna."
