Vikram Chandra Sacred Games

In a world on the brink of chaos, Athavan rises from obscurity to power, armed with an unmatched intellect and a vision that defies destiny. But beneath his calculated moves lies a secret—one tied to an ancient force long forgotten, a mystery that could alter the balance between creation and destruction. As unseen enemies manipulate the world from the shadows, Athavan is thrust into a dangerous game where betrayal is inevitable, alliances are fragile, and power is the only currency that matters. With every step, he uncovers hidden truths that challenge everything he once believed, forcing him to walk the fine line between savior and conqueror. But time is running out. A long-dormant force is beginning to awaken, and Athavan must outmaneuver those who seek to control it—or risk being consumed by the very darkness he fights against. The first volume of the Sacred World series, Sacred Stone, The Rise of Athavan, is a gripping historical fantasy infused with Hindu mythology, military strategy, and high-stakes intrigue—a tale of power, destiny, and the fine line between savior and conqueror.

Born and raised in the Tail-Zone slums of Peacock District, Euri had one goal in life—a safe and stable corporate job. But the day he discovered the alien game infesting his miniscreen, that goal had to go through some modifications. While the entire human civilization on Planet Nen went to war against the superior lifeforms plaguing the extraterrestrial planes, Euri competed with them all for power by just playing this game! A side-gig that didn’t conflict with his dream of climbing the corporate ladder—how generous can fortune be to bequeath this opportunity to him? Transcending the spatial laws, transcending human notion of cultivation, transcending the rules of Cosmic Development Bureau, Euri began a series of crazy experiments that could perhaps destroy the millennia-spanning schemes of the most advanced civilizations controlling the macrocosm. When interrogated about this fiasco, Euri answered the way a perfect corporate slave should.  “Full credit for this goes to my boss, who provided me with the opportunity..."

Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]

*"Why should there be a synopsis for the history of fiction's existence? I write this to share the truth about my father, a being burdened with the weight of all realms. This story isn't just about him—it's about the beings who fought for and against the world we know today. Father never wanted me to write this because he thinks he isn't worthy enough, but I can't let his works be hidden, no, what type of daughter would I be to such a loving father. Father’s life is a history of pain and sacrifice, a tale misunderstood by many. I hope you, who exist beyond our realm, yes you, will read this sacred text and come to see Father as I do—not as a monster, but as the savior who bears it all. Within these texts, you will discover the truth of how our world came to be. Why Father did what he did, and maybe your hatred will be justified. Father made terrible mistakes, yes, terrific ones that deemed to meter out his extinction, but he strived on. I do wish that Father's life impacts and teaches you all, just like It did to me. It is the history of creation and destruction, friendship and betrayal, hope and despair. Father and his companions envisioned a better existence for us, though he suffers for it even now. I hope this changes how you see him—and perhaps, how you see yourself. From your humble existence, Snow."*
