The Shah of the Old Ones

YK_1309
Yash Shah, a 17-year-old Mumbai launda (lad), had simple dreams—pass his engineering exams, dodge his mom’s shaadi (marriage) rants, and enjoy life with unlimited chai and memes. Fate, however, had other plans. One chai spill, one laptop zap, and BOOM—he’s got reality-breaking powers and an all-access pass to India’s supernatural underworld. Here, rakshasas (demons) run underground casinos, yakshis (spirits) hold kitty parties, and prophecies are treated like stock market predictions. Between dodging death, uncovering ancient secrets, and becoming the unwilling star of a doomsday prophecy, Yash accidentally builds a harem—a fiery warrior princess, a sly nagin (serpent) CEO, and a nerdy witch who quotes Chanakya. Oh, and did he mention that some of them are turning into yanderes? Armed with jugaadu (hacky) tactics, sarcasm sharper than a katana, and zero plans, Yash must navigate a world where divine beings, cursed relics, and cosmic conspiracies threaten to turn his life into a Bollywood blockbuster—one where he’s both the hero and the prime target. Thrill Level: Dabbang meets Dragon Ball Z Humor Quotient: Meme pages vs. your dad’s WhatsApp Survival Odds: 0% if he doesn’t figure out his powers... 100% if he keeps charming goddesses and monsters alike. Now, the only question is: Will Yash save the world? Or will he be too busy escaping his latest yandere admirer? This story will have crossovers from anime/manga/movies. Current crossover world: Campione! Disclaimer: All characters, names, and mythical elements in this fiction are products of the author’s ulta-pulta (whacky) imagination. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or existing myths is purely bekaar (coincidental nonsense). Stories of rakshasas, yakshis, and supernatural phenomena are fictionalized for masala (entertainment) and not intended to disrespect any religion, culture, or your bua’s (aunt’s) ghost anecdotes. The author pranaam karta hai (bows respectfully) to all faiths and traditions. This story contains over-the-top drama, magic, and desi (Indian) tropes—please don’t test chai-spill superpowers at home. No laptops or kundalis were harmed during writing.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
