Even Reincarnated, I Still Have To Build India!!

DISCLAIMER: The story is gonna be a drawn out one with lots of long segments just like the synopsis below. A young Indian IAS officer dies in the opening days of India’s descent into World War III—only to awaken in another world. At first, he takes this second chance at life more easily than he did his first. But as he studies the world around him, he discovers something far stranger. Its peoples, kingdoms, religions and civilisations bear an uncanny resemblance to those of Earth’s own ancient past. The difference is that this world possesses something his never did: magic. Determined not to repeat the mistakes of his old world—or those he made in his previous life—he sets himself an impossible task. He will take a powerful but fragmented civilisation and forge it into something new: a nation capable of surviving the ages to come. But building a nation is not a matter of simply introducing the ideas of a more advanced age. It means breaking old institutions, reshaping armies, transforming economies, building industries, challenging powerful nobles and convincing millions of people that they belong to something larger than their kingdom. This time, he will change history before it reaches the point of no return. Before it takes turns he cannot accept. Before the consequences of those choices fall upon generations yet to come. And before someone like him is forced to make the choices he once did—This time, he will change history before it reaches the point of no return. Before it takes turns he cannot accept. Before the consequences of those choices fall upon generations yet to come. And before someone like him is forced to make the choices he once did—choices that may save a nation, yet leave their maker hated for generations, or forgotten in the annals of history, even by those closest to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: I am a CA student so don't expect consistent uploads. Other then that I am a nerd so know a lot but if you find anything badly written or factually wrong please let me know. Disclaimer: If you are looking some white washed version of things especially religion and culture, please drive clear of this. I am a history nerd and will take things as they were, though with my own change in it as well. And this is not to say my views as same as the MC, I will have him be critical of things then I might be, both for Sanathana and others especially for Abrahamic ones. And again this will be as much as possible grounded in reality of the era. Another, this is more like a top down view of a story, you can expect the MC to invent some things and push some other but he isn't some all knowing dude as such I have other characters he teaches in order to get through scientific breakthroughs. And this applies even for the non-industrial parts, to say in other words, side characters are important, atleast for the physical development of the world.

Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

I Dumped My Mate—Now Every Beast King Wants Me

【Taciturn, Obedient Puppy-Like Dragon Beast × The Doted-On Young Miss】 【Beast World's Tiger King Mine Master × Beast World's Richest Young Lady of the Golden Dragon Clan】 【Star Fall Dragon Clan's Crown Prince × Golden Dragon Clan's Little Princess】 【More Male Leads to Be Unlocked...】 【Beast World + Father-Daughter Crematorium + Second Male Lead Gets the Girl + Divorce + Face-Slapping + Career Building + No Reconciliation】 In her past life, the scumbag partner Ophelia had worked so hard to elevate casually drank her blood and carved out her heart — all to preserve the beauty and youth of his white moonlight.

She ruthlessly tramples those who once bullied, scorned, and despised her. The scumbag's family is consumed by regret. The ungrateful daughter kneels and begs, "Mama, please love me again." Ophelia, holding her partner's hand and stroking her cub's head, says coldly: "Aren't you just shameless?"
