The Admin's paradox

[Important info in chapter 1 (Volume 1), make sure to check it out for additional information] In a world where reality seems to waver on the brink of absurdity, 15-year-old Idaeus Kamaras drifts through his final year of primary school, wrapped in layers of cynical detachment. His existence is a monotonous blur of meaningless interactions and superficial engagements, a shield against the chaos he feels lurking beneath the surface of his everyday life. But his insular routine is violently shattered when a reality glitch propels him into a nightmarish encounter with shadowy figures who expose a harrowing truth: the world he knows is an elaborate simulation, orchestrated by a cabal of powerful elites. Rescued by an enigmatic girl by the name of Novalie Lavigne, Idaeus awakens in a sterile hospital room to discover an unprecedented opportunity: a chance to become an "Administrator" with the power to manipulate the very fabric of this simulated reality. Torn between the safety of his previous life and the allure of unimaginable power, Idaeus accepts the offer, plunging into a world where every action could alter the balance of power. As he delves into this fractured reality, guided by Novalie, Idaeus uncovers a sinister tapestry of corporate conspiracies, geopolitical machinations, and clandestine agendas. Each revelation pulls him deeper into a vortex of deception, as he grapples with his own repressed traumas and insecurities that threaten to consume him. Navigating a perilous hierarchy of shadowy administrators, he is forced to confront the darkest corners of the simulation, where truth and illusion blur into a nightmarish tapestry of control and resistance. "The Admin’s Paradox" weaves a tale of digital rebellion and existential dread, a heart-pounding odyssey through a world meticulously constructed by unseen forces. As the ultimate truth emerges, threatening to unravel the very fabric of existence, Idaeus must summon unparalleled courage to defy the architects of his reality and seize control of his own destiny. In a race against time, he faces the ultimate battle between illusion and reality, where the price of truth could mean the end of everything he thought he knew.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world. And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident.  "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include: - [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy - [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics - [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims ------------------------------------------------------------------ At least try 40 chapters before leaving. The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. Message me on discord if you have some marvellous idea about my novel - thedefector#3548 And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.

Gold on the Moon

Once upon a time in 2067, one hundred years after the Outer Space Treaty that prohibits the appropriation of natural resources in space, from the Olympia space station, the Commander Howard Pickpower and his crew are in charge of various activities: development of miraculous vaccines, carry out tests with solar energy, destroy space debris and potentially dangerous meteorites or asteroids, and analyze the composition of celestial bodies, searching for new materials and investigating existing ones.

Shadow Assassin: Dual Attributes

(!The credit for the Book Cover goes to the creator, it isn't mine!) It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.

Fateless: The Silver Lining

It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries. * * * The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Inner thoughts - ''Why are they screaming?'' Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK

AN ANALYSIS ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL SETTLEMENTS IN WEST BENGAL: WITH SPECI

the context of Indian Archaeology as a whole, the archaeology of undivided Bengal is viewed with a general indifference (Chattopadhyay and Sanyal 2006: 1387). 'Bengal' (corresponding to modern West Bengal and the Independent republic or Bangladesh) has long been known to lndologists and antiquarians for its rich archaeological sources dating from prehistoric to later historical times. Hundreds of archaeological sites and artefacts, either from excavated contexts or as stray/chance discoveries and systematic explorations, have been reported from different parts of West Bengal and Bangladesh in the last one and a half centuries. However no specific attempt, even at a preliminary level, has so far been made in spite of a long history or digging and discovery, classification and reproduction and so on, to summary i..e the ·archaeological data of the historical levels of West Bengal and underline their bearing on the development of historical settlements in the region. In the context of historical archaeology in West Bengal, enormous materials datable from c. third century BC to AD twelfth-thirteenth centuries have so far been recorded: Starting from 1928-29 till date, quite a large number of sites with early historic and/or early mediaeval deposits has been subjected to systematic excavations by competent authorities. Several studies conducted by practicing archaeologists have dra\.vn on issues of spatial distribution of sites and the bearing of artefacts on historical trade economy and religion. In spite of the above facts, it has to be noted that studies on spatial distribution as well as na1ure and changing characters of early historic-early mediaeval sites arc yet to be carried out satisfactorily. Furthermore. West Bengal has so far yielded quite a few epigraphic records, datable between the sixth and the twelfth centuries, in the form of copperplate charters recording rural land transaction affairs. Apart from throwing welcome light on the geopolitical dimensions of early mediaeval political history of Bengal, they offer invaluable data on the nature of village level settlements and land related affairs in the territory. Although many villages recorded in the inscriptions have been identified with their modern counterparts, many of them still remain unknown and unidentified.

The Secret Marriage of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler and Three Other

Sherlock Holmes has been missing for three days. In principle, Dr. Watson doesn´t think much of it because the detective has done this before. However, from the end of the second day, Watson begins to worry and faints upon receiving news of Mycroft Holmes, who, supported by agents from the secret service office, follows the trail of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler through some Scottish islands, while he is sure that they are going to get married in secret. Moreover, Mycroft Holmes is extremely concerned: from the Queen’s stable, three horses that will represent the nation in an international classic have been abducted, and also the niece of the Secretary for European Affairs, Sir Trelawney Hope (whose political power surpasses the influence of the British prime ministers of the last decade), has been kidnapped. In addition to this, a dark secret persists with the missing niece, and the geopolitical consequences of both cases could be fatal for the Conservative Party and the English government, who would lose respect and credibility in the European community and the British colonies. Mycroft Holmes and Watson are upset by the irresponsible and insane attitudes of Sherlock Holmes, who claims to be on vacation. Although the great detective is aware of the delicate situation, and working remotely, he sends telegrams that allow his brother and Watson to get to the bottom of the truth and solve these complicated cases. And following the trail of a telegram from Sherlock Holmes and other deductions from inspector Patterson and Watson, who remembers other words from the missing detective, a Scotland Yard and secret service team, accompanied by Watson, and led by Mycroft and Lestrade, go to the Canary Islands, precisely to the third, known as La Gomera, with the purpose of finding Sherlock Holmes, capturing Irene Adler, preventing that wedding and recovering jewels stolen by that damned woman, including the Koh-i-Noor diamond. Nonetheless, although it is known that Irene Adler was related to the two previous cases, the objective of Sherlock Holmes, planned for several years, is to return the Koh-i-Noor diamond to the Queen, even at the expense of a forced marriage with Irene Adler. The wedding takes place in a Spanish galleon with the support of a Norwegian captain. However, the situation is confusing and events escape of the control of the authorities. On the one hand, Sherlock Holmes has a plan to recover the Koh-i-Noor diamond and annul this marriage. And on the other hand, in one way or another, Irene Adler always wins, and she deceives the detective and his collaborators, dealing an inconceivable blow to the Spanish Crown. Moreover, Watson suspects that previously Holmes and Adler secretly married in Scotland, which is the beginning of an Adler’s sinister plan to become a new European queen...
