Fanatic

The Bastard’s Inferno

In the fractured kingdom of Veridion, where thrones are built on lies and loyalty is measured in blood, Kael Varynth—the unacknowledged bastard son of a crumbling noble house—carves his path through a world of smoke and shadow. Denied his birthright and raised in the gutters of Eldervale, Kael masters the art of survival: seduction, subterfuge, and the cold calculus of power. But when his legitimate half-brother dies under mysterious circumstances, Kael seizes the chaos to claw his way into the viper’s nest of Veridion’s aristocracy. The Hollow King rots on his obsidian throne, and three factions vie to control the dying realm: The Dawn Pact, zealots who preach purity while hoarding secrets. The Shadow Magnates, merchant lords who trade gold for souls. The Bloodsworn, fanatics resurrecting an ancient prophecy of “purifying flame.” Kael plays all sides, exploiting their greed and dogma. He manipulates his drunken father, Lord Cedran, into becoming a pawn; seduces Mira, a razor-tongued tavern wench with ties to rival House Kaelthar; and bargains with Seraphine, a Dawn Pact operative whose faith masks a thirst for vengeance. But his greatest weapon is his mind—a talent for turning enemies against one another, leaving them to bleed out while he claims their spoils. When Kael uncovers a plot to control the Iron Pass, the kingdom’s lifeline of trade and secrets, he ignites a proxy war between the Bloodsworn and House Kaelthar. Yet shadows from his past resurface: a hooded woman with a dagger’s smile, a childhood scar that burns in the presence of flame, and whispers that the Bloodsworn’s new prophet knows his true name. As alliances fracture and cities burn, Kael must decide whether to crown himself king of the ashes or be consumed by the inferno he’s unleashed. But in Veridion, trust is a currency no one can afford—not even the Bastard of Varynth. Themes: Ambition vs. Identity, The Corruption of Power, The Cost of Survival Tone: Gritty, suspenseful, morally gray, with visceral political machinations and simmering tension. Series Arc: A sprawling saga of betrayal, war, and twisted desire, where every victory demands a sacrifice, and the line between hero and villain is written in ash. Let me know if you’d like to adjust the tone, focus, or key plot points!

What could be better for a VR game fanatic than to be reincarnated his character and all his powers in the real world? It's the case for one of the most popular pro players, who doesn't shine for his heroic actions; Isaac Jefferson, known under the pseudonym Jack. He finished many games, leaving only his nasty reputation behind, and just as he thought he'd do the same with a strange game called [God-like Online], the world’s undergoing a greater upheaval. Being one of the players, he was dragged into the new world by force and discovered over time that all this wasn't a game from the start but a machination to prepare the earthlings for a disaster much worse than anything they could imagine. -- Before you start, keep certain information in mind. -(No NTR, No R*pe). -Don't expect an overload of clichés.

And don't worry, if you don't appreciate them, you can skip these chapters without any problem, it won't affect the plot as a whole.

Cricket Fever: I Can Download Infinite Skills

Rudra was a cricket fanatic, through and through. He lived for the game, spending hours playing and watching cricket matches. It was his passion, his escape from the mundane. On the day of the Cricket World Cup finals in 2023, Rudra was glued to the screen, cheering for his beloved national team, India. However, to his dismay, India lost the finals, shattering his hopes. Watching his team lose on their home ground was a bitter pill to swallow. Despite the defeat, Rudra found solace in the remarkable journey of the Indian team throughout the tournament. They had defeated ten teams in a row without a single loss, an impressive feat by any standard. Yet, some critics and trolls were quick to diminish their achievements, claiming they could only perform in normal matches and not in the high-pressure eliminator matches. Seeking distraction from the disappointment of the loss, Rudra turned to X-website to gauge the reactions of fellow fans. As he scrolled through the comments on his mobile, the screen suddenly went blank. "What the heck? If something happens to my phone, my father will kill me," Rudra panicked, frantically trying to revive the device by pressing the power button. To his dismay, the blank screen turned white. "Shoot! How do I explain I damaged the display?" Rudra muttered, feeling a sinking sensation in his chest. This was the mobile he had persuaded his father to buy him after two years of persistent pleading. Suddenly, a strange voice echoed in his head, breaking the eerie silence. [ Do you aspire to become the best cricketer? ] Rudra froze, taken aback by the unexpected question. "..." He remained silent, unsure of how to respond to the mysterious inquiry. [ It seems the host didn't give an answer within a minute, so the system will choose an appropriate answer, ] the mechanical voice stated matter-of-factly. "Wait..." Before Rudra could comprehend what was happening, everything went blank, and he felt himself slipping into unconsciousness. (Author Note): Cricket fanfiction and novels might be scarce, but every story starts somewhere. I hope to weave an engaging tale that captures the spirit of the game and ignites the imagination of cricket enthusiasts everywhere. Let's embark on this journey together! This is an AU story. The cover image I got from Google. so I do not own it. I would appreciate feedback and support if you enjoy the story.
