Throes of Mystery

In a Victorian-Era world where two moons drift silently in the sky, casting pale light over industrial cities and shadowed streets, a young man finds himself inexplicably transmigrated into the body of a beggar in Kargoth, a bustling industrial city of the Iron Crown Territories. Filthy, starving, and almost invisible to the people around him, he drags himself from the roadside and steals a set of oversized clothes, slipping them on over his ragged form. Each little step feels like a victory: avoiding the jeers of market-goers, dodging city guards, finding his way through the crowded streets without drawing too much attention. To survive, he takes on menial jobs, hauling loads for middle-class merchants in the market. Every Dosh he earns feels like a lifeline, every shilling a fragile foothold in a city that would swallow him whole if he let his guard down. Weeks pass, and he finally manages to save enough to leave Kargoth, boarding public transport and then smuggling himself inside a freight bound for Ironhold. From there, he prepares for the long, hard journey to Frostgate, the northern border town, hoping to escape the oppressive grind of the city. Along the way, he notices small, strange things—shadows that don’t quite match the light, coincidences that are too perfect, the twin moons shining in a way that feels… deliberate, almost too aligned. He doesn’t think much of them, chalking them up to chance or his imagination, unaware that the world around him is far stranger than he could ever guess—a world where hidden forces are quietly shaping lives. Still oblivious to Veils, Archetypes, and the secret Continuists and Intervener organizations manipulating the hidden rules of the world, he is just a beggar, a hustler, a fugitive scraping by on the fringes of Victorian-era industrial life. His journey is slow, harsh, messy, and human—the perfect crucible for someone about to awaken into a secret world of power, intrigue, and dangerous ambition.

And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate.

The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

I Don't Want to Get Marked in This New World!

Announcement- Book-2 will be released soon. Book- 1 is completed. Aaron never imagined that his death would come from something as mundane as a car accident. Yet, fate had stranger plans—he awakened not in heaven... or hell, but inside a novel written by his best friend. Worse, he wasn’t even himself anymore. He was a woman now. Now called 'Alice,' he found himself reborn as an 'omega' villainess, infamous for opposing the heroine at every turn. Getting reincarnated as her was never part of the plan. But the world which she reincarnated in, was different... very different from the novel's world. One particularly unlucky day, Alice accidentally offended the most dangerous figure in the story: the Final Boss, her aloof half-sister whose temper could freeze the sun. Alice: I’m sorry! The Final Boss: Watch where you’re going. Her voice dripped with cold authority, her eyes sharp with disdain. Their encounters multiplied soon after, each one pushing Alice closer to panic—and to her horror, confusing the usually heartless 'Final Boss.' Cornered in a dark alley one night, Alice braced herself for the worst. Alice: Please don’t hurt me... The Final Boss: Why would I? Do you... like me? Caught off-guard—and terrified by the dangerous gleam, in those eyes—Alice nodded on instinct. Alice: Y-Yes!! That single word sealed her fate. With a chilling smile, the Final Boss cupped her face. The Final Boss: Good. Now, be a good girl and let me mark you. Alice’s survival instincts screamed. She ran for her life—but escape was temporary. Before long, she was captured again by the possessive Final Boss whose obsession had turned frighteningly real. Not just her, the heroine also obsessed over her, with same gaze as her half-sister. Alice: F-Fuck! Thrown into a storm of unwanted affection, betrayals, and chaotic power struggles, Alice’s life spiralled further when strange, shadowy entities began stalking her from beyond the known world. These unknown things whispered her old name, their presence promising death—or something worse. Now, trapped between obsessive lovers, unknown horrors, and her own past... Alice had no choice but to depend on herself. Extra Tags:- Gender Bender, Female Protagonist, Bottom Protagonist, ABO World, Harem Disclaimer: It’s just a novel—don’t be serious. As the author of this novel, I would like to say that—all the characters are from my imagination—they don't have any sort of existence in the real world. Nah! Nope, they don’t. Trust me—this is just a novel. So, there are themes in the story that might be disturbing. But let me tell you—I condone them, and I suggest you to take everything as fictious storytelling. There is no need to think over it. And if you find it very disturbing then, I request you to not read this novel any further.
