Nonfiction Historical

Reincarnated as the Crown Prince

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will enjoy the journey.

A Cinderella Story in A Cultivation World

Lee Wooyun had always been a fan of romance fantasy books and films, especially those set in historical times with kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, and the like. His friends were well aware of his obsession and recommended a book that had recently been making waves on social media. The book was titled My Charming Demon Lord. At first, Lee Wooyun was hesitant. Unlike the fantasies he usually read, which were often set in Western historical settings, this one was different. However, his friends assured him he would enjoy it. Not wanting to reject their gift, he decided to give it a try. That night, he found himself unable to put the book down, reading almost the entire thing in one sitting. "Those guys were right! It’s amazing! A Cinderella-like fairytale set in a murim/cultivation world? It’s too good!" He couldn't help but imagine how incredible it would be to take the female lead Han Seo-yoon’s place—starting from such a miserable beginning only to end up in the arms of the surprisingly sweet and gentle demon lord. I wish I could take her place. That night, as he drifted off to sleep, the book he had left open on his desk began to emit a golden glow. The pages flipped backward, returning to the very first chapter, and its contents began to change as well. The title My Charming Demon Lord pulsed with a piercing red light, and before Lee Wooyun could even react, his surroundings shifted. The next morning, instead of waking up wrapped in his expensive velvet duvet—the one he had spent hundreds of dollars on—he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a pile of hay and straw. His back ached horribly, like he had actually slept on a pile of hay and straw. "What in the world…?" he muttered, rubbing his sore muscles. "Where in the hell am I? And why does it smell like cow dung in here?!” *** This is the story of how a fantasy-genre enthusiast ended up inside one of the books he had wished for—without realizing just how dangerous that wish would be. "I guess it’s true what they say: Be careful what you wish for."

The Bharat Legacy

The Bharat Legacy **Genre:** Adventure, Historical Fiction, Mystery **Synopsis:** "The Bharat Legacy" follows the journey of Amit, a 30-year-old IT professional from Patna, who is passionate about adventure, historical exploration, and uncovering ancient mysteries. By day, Amit works in the shadows of the IT department, handling complex tasks discreetly and efficiently. By night, he dreams of uncovering the secrets of India's rich past. One night, Amit has a vivid dream about discovering the legendary Kawach and Kundal of Karna, the great warrior from the Mahabharata, hidden in a cave near Anga Raj (modern-day Bhagalpur). The dream ignites a burning curiosity within him, pushing him to embark on an extraordinary quest to find these ancient relics and uncover their lost knowledge. As Amit delves deeper into his investigation, he encounters a series of cryptic clues and meets intriguing characters, including historians, archaeologists, and local villagers, each holding pieces of the puzzle. His journey takes him to ancient temples, forgotten ruins, and mystical landscapes, where he must decipher age-old secrets and navigate treacherous paths. Throughout his quest, Amit faces numerous challenges and dangers, but his unwavering determination and passion for history drive him forward. Along the way, he learns about the true significance of the Kawach and Kundal, not just as physical artifacts but as symbols of courage, sacrifice, and wisdom. Nayantara: She was a whisper in the biting Himalayan wind, a stark white anomaly against the desolate canvas of snow and ash. Nayantara moved with a grace that defied the treacherous terrain, a fluid, almost ethereal descent from the ridge that spoke of training beyond mortal limits. Clad in a flowing white dress, edged with the shimmer of intricate golden patterns, she appeared less a creature of flesh and blood and more a spectral guardian of the frozen heights. A stylized golden motif blazed upon her back, catching the weak sunlight like an otherworldly sigil. Her face remained an enigma, concealed behind a white cloth, leaving only two piercing eyes to observe the ravaged landscape with an unnerving intensity. In those eyes, one could glimpse a sharp focus, a depth of understanding that hinted at abilities far beyond the conventional, a power she herself referred to as her "special eyes." She was a solitary figure, a silent operative, moving with purpose and an unspoken connection to forces unseen. Her very presence in this desolate place suggested a mission of profound importance, a delicate probe into the heart of a devastating mystery.
