Deus Ex Machina: Clockwork

LastValkyrie
In a vast steampunk world ruled by machines, endless resource wars, and government officials who care nothing for their citizens, humanity has forgotten the power flowing through its own blood. Known as Kynara, this magic is limited only by imagination, yet few possess the creativity to wield it in a society that relies on gears to solve every problem. After their parents vanish in a brutal war between districts, three orphans Elias, Varya, and Liora are taken in by a reclusive inventor who raises them above the iron city. As they grow, they uncover a forgotten truth; Kynara does not answer to machines but to the mind and to the bonds between people. Dreaming of ending the wars and freeing humanity from its dependence on machinery, the three set their sights on ascension to godhood. But who knows what side the gods above are truly on. Can three orphan children not only prove to the entire world that gods are not born from machines but from imagination, but also uncover and reveal the secrets hidden in the cogs and gears?

Reincarnated as Duryodhana in Mahabharata

Aditya was just an ordinary young man from the modern world — until a sudden accident ended his life and sent his soul into the body of Suyodhana, the eldest prince of Hastinapur. In this new life he is the boy history will one day call Duryodhana — the cursed prince fated to start the greatest war the world has ever seen. But Aditya is not alone. A mysterious Karma System has come with him, rewarding every kind choice and warning him when darkness creeps too close. Armed with his twenty-first-century knowledge and a burning desire to change the future, Suyodhana sets out to rewrite the tragic story of the Mahabharata. He heals his father Dhritarashtra’s blind eyes, wins the true loyalty of the mighty Karna and the forest archer Eklavya, and gathers his young friends in a quest to stop the bloody Kurukshetra war before it can begin. Yet destiny is far more stubborn than he imagined. As Suyodhana and his companions journey through glowing mountains, face ancient trials of the heart, and challenge the will of gods and sages, a deeper shadow begins to stir. Something far more dangerous than the coming war hides in the forgotten corners of this world — an ancient evil that the old legends never dared to name. Will Suyodhana truly become the hero who saves everyone he loves? Or will the heavy name of Duryodhana slowly pull him back into the darkness he is trying to escape? A tale of friendship, second chances, and cosmic fate — where one boy’s modern heart must decide whether he will break the chains of destiny… or become the very monster the world already fears.
