Synopsis
Myths are mysteries into which only the bravest — or the most determined — dare to venture. Sakolomeh Killer Man, also known as Sakolomeh Satsujin Otoko, tells the story of a young boy born without mana. Rejected by a world where magical power defines a person’s worth, he chooses to fight in another way: by forging a body and a will capable of surpassing every limit. Driven by the desire to surpass his older brother, he embarks on a brutal journey that will eventually lead him to encounter extraordinary beings who will forever change his life. But behind this quest lies a far more disturbing truth. Little by little, he discovers that he was never truly what he believed himself to be… but rather an existence so alien, so incomprehensible, that it seems fundamentally incompatible with the rest of the world itself.

The Theory of Nihility: Chaos and Creation

There was once a God in the realm where only Divine Beings lived. He didn't know where he came from, for he did not have parents. He was all alone. One day, he found a companion - someone who he shouldn't have met by the laws of their world. As it goes, with time they fell in love. But there was a problem - she was the Devil, and he was a God. He committed the 'sin' by setting her free. Stripped of his divinity and sent to hell for eternity. She gave up her divine form and newfound freedom to accompany him as a spirit. It was tragic. As soon as she got her freedom, she had to give it up again. The Gods thought he could never escape from hell, but they made a fatal mistake. The 'hell' wasn't merely hell, it was a place where beings transcending Gods were born. The strongest curse in their arsenal was breakable. In fact, in ancient times it wasn't a curse but a sacred method for ascension from Godhood. The Nine Cycles of Samsara. The nine cycles to temper one's Soul. With each cycle, one would have an exponentially stronger soul than before. It was once an essential part of Soul Cultivation. But they thought it was a curse... Having broken the 'Curse' and surviving the Nine Cycles of Samsara, Asura Ryuu and Asura Tenka reincarnate in one of the lower Celestial Planes. The new life gives them new opportunities. Who wouldn't want a new life, especially when rising from 'hell'? Although the Gods thought they banished Asura Ryuu for good, they didn't even imagine what it would bring to their realm. With Destiny having taken a liking to him, Asura Ryuu would surely not be an ordinary being in his tenth life, would he? A pair of Heavenly Dragons, Asura Ryuu and Asura Tenka, set off on their new journey together, with Destiny in their grasp this time. Come join them, as they write the story of their lives and the theory of their own - The Theory of Nihility. The Avatars of Chaos and Creation shall share their story with us!

Puppets of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by “I’m Ok – You’re Ok”, the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller’s “Muslim Friends–Their Faith and Feeling”, this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters. Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.

For example, in some sci - fi works, characters from former colonized regions might have unique cultural values and ways of thinking that are different from the dominant 'colonizer' cultures presented in the story.

In 'Lilith's Brood' by Octavia Butler, we can observe postcolonial themes. The story involves a species that colonizes humans, but the humans resist and adapt in ways that reflect postcolonial struggles. Also, 'Nnedi Okorafor's Lagoon' shows postcolonial elements. The arrival of alien life in Lagos, Nigeria, disrupts the existing power structures and forces the characters to deal with cultural, social, and political changes in a way that is reminiscent of postcolonial experiences.

Postcolonialism has had a profound influence on the Indian English novel. It has allowed Indian writers to reclaim their cultural identity. For example, in many novels, they depict traditional Indian values, rituals, and social hierarchies that were once suppressed or misrepresented during the colonial era. Writers use the English language as a tool to present an authentic Indian experience to the world, subverting the colonial idea that only the colonizers' view of India was valid.
