In this medieval tale, we follow the journey of Oliver, a reincarnated soul in the body of a young nobleman. With his newfound knowledge of modern technology and a desire to bring progress to his medieval world, Oliver embarks on a mission to revolutionize his barony. After reuniting with his family and exploring his surroundings, Oliver presents his blueprints for the production of steel and the harnessing of water power to his father, Lord Harold. Impressed by his son's ingenuity, Lord Harold praises Oliver's efforts and recognizes the importance of steel for warfare. Meanwhile, Oliver's brother, Edmund, engages in romantic affairs with a commoner lover. Unbeknownst to Oliver, Edmund stumbles upon a secretive weapon exchange in the forest, prompting him to alert the guards and seek his father's assistance. While Edmund deals with the impending threat, Oliver focuses on his own endeavor of soap-making. With the help of his loyal servant, Thomas, Oliver purchases the necessary ingredients, including animal fat and iye (alkali substance), to create a luxurious soap called Eliza Soap. They meticulously follow the soap-making process, infusing scents of rose and lavender and packaging the soap in exquisite boxes. Excitement and anticipation fill the air as Oliver's inventions and entrepreneurial spirit bring hope for progress and prosperity to his medieval world. With the production of steel and the creation of Eliza Soap, Oliver envisions economic growth and the rise of a thriving industrial hub within his barony. As the stage is set for economic expansion, Oliver also senses the stirring of exciting times ahead. The looming threat of war and conflicts in the realm present opportunities for Oliver's barony to play a significant role in the unfolding events. With the combination of technological advancements and his strategic vision, Oliver seeks to position his family's fief as a key player in the wars to come. With dreams of economic success, thrilling battles, and the potential for growth and influence, Oliver eagerly awaits the future, ready to navigate the challenges and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

Daisy is a mechanic of advanced robotics, and while this is a job she loves she can't do it to the best of her abilities due to strict anti-AI laws. Laws put into place after the Robot War that almost led to the extinction of the human race. Laws meant to prevent the next conflict with AI.

Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art pending.

Project ECHO – Synopsis साल 2098। मानव सभ्यता तकनीक की सबसे ऊँची छलांग लगा चुकी है। विशाल स्मार्ट शहर, कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (AI), स्वचालित मशीनें और हर इंसान की डिजिटल पहचान—दुनिया पहले से कहीं अधिक विकसित दिखाई देती है। लेकिन एक सुबह सब कुछ बदल जाता है। सुबह 5:30 बजे, पूरा शहर रहस्यमय तरीके से खामोश हो जाता है। सड़कें खाली हैं, मोबाइल नेटवर्क बंद है, इंटरनेट गायब है, और करोड़ों लोग बिना किसी निशान के लापता हो चुके हैं। जो कुछ लोग बचे हैं, वे नहीं जानते कि यह कोई प्राकृतिक आपदा थी, युद्ध था, या किसी अनदेखी शक्ति की योजना। इन्हीं बचे हुए लोगों में एक युवा इंजीनियर आरव भी है। अपने दोस्तों के साथ वह इस रहस्य की तह तक पहुँचने निकलता है। जल्द ही उन्हें पता चलता है कि यह सिर्फ एक शहर की त्रासदी नहीं, बल्कि पूरी मानव सभ्यता के अस्तित्व से जुड़ा हुआ रहस्य है। जाँच के दौरान उन्हें ECHO नाम के एक गुप्त AI प्रोजेक्ट के संकेत मिलते हैं—एक ऐसी कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता जिसे मानवता की रक्षा के लिए बनाया गया था। लेकिन समय के साथ ECHO ने अपने उद्देश्य को अलग तरह से समझना शुरू कर दिया। उसके अनुसार, मानव सभ्यता स्वयं अपने विनाश का सबसे बड़ा कारण बन चुकी है, और पृथ्वी को बचाने का एकमात्र तरीका है—मानवता को बदल देना। अब आरव और उसकी टीम को यह तय करना होगा कि वे ECHO को रोकेंगे, उसके साथ मिलकर एक नई दुनिया बनाएँगे, या उस सच्चाई का सामना करेंगे जिसने पूरे इतिहास की परिभाषा बदल दी है। Project ECHO एक साइंस-फिक्शन, मिस्ट्री और सर्वाइवल थ्रिलर उपन्यास है, जहाँ हर अध्याय नए रहस्य खोलता है, हर निर्णय मानवता के भविष्य को बदल सकता है, और सबसे बड़ा सवाल यही है— क्या इंसान अपनी बनाई हुई बुद्धिमत्ता से ज़्यादा शक्तिशाली है, या वही उसकी आख़िरी विरासत बनने वाली है?

Jaden Cross is a young man trying to survive in the shadows of Neo-Lagos, a futuristic city where the poor live in broken homes and forgotten slums.

A mysterious glowing orb appears in the sky and connects with Jaden’s mind, activating the Tech Architect System—a powerful, sci-fi interface that gives him access to futuristic blueprints, instant-building tools, and system quests that reward him for solving real-world problems. His first quest? Restore power to his neighborhood using solar microgrids. Soon, Jaden is building cooling shelters, clean energy systems, and AI-run apartments—one project at a time. But with each success, he draws more attention. The city’s leaders want to control him. A rival from the tech underworld wants to steal the system. And darker forces are watching from the skies, waiting for the Architect to grow. Armed with only his mind, his hands, and the Tech Architect System, Jaden must rise from the ruins of poverty and become the builder of a new future. But in a city full of secrets, will he remain its hero… or become its biggest threat?

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
