Synopsis
[I will continue this story; new chapters will be released soon. Just taking a short break to prepare for an upcoming writing contest.]
God King Arya defeats Asura Yaman. Two hundred years later, Yaman reincarnates as Prince Surya of Rakhtaprastha. Once Surya comes of age, flashbacks from his past life erode his mind. He seeks help from the Tantric guild, where his path entwines with black-clad Vidyut, his long time rival. Hardened by the cruelties of life, Vidyut embraces the dark art of Tantra, for which he is both rejected and coveted by the people of the Five Kingdoms.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Rakhtaprastha faces political turmoil and rival kingdoms, while the animosity between God King Arya and Yaman/Surya's supporter, Goddess Dimuka, spills into the human world.
Read to find out if Surya and Vidyut’s love can endure the wrath of forces, both good and evil.
********************************************************************
Chapter 30 Excerpt:
Vidyut came and stood five steps before Surya, his eyes surveying the prince as if he was searching for something he had lost, his gaze holding and letting go every few seconds. Surya, in turn, resolutely stared at Vidyut’s eyes, and certainly not at his unrobed chest that was now glowing with a fine sheen of sweat. Vidyut’s eyes found Surya’s as if he had caught him thieving.
"If you look to learn the secrets of my trade, a word is enough, my prince. It would be my honor to teach you a thing or two about how sharp weapons work." Vidyut gave Surya a wicked look, gesturing him to the center of the terrace in an invitation to a friendly duel.
********************************************************************
*It is based on Indian mythology, specifically Hindu mythology. But it is an original fantasy and focus is character arcs.
**It has BL/Gay content. Most Surya-Vidyut interactions are in the chapters marked Surya or Vidyut. The romance in this story is slowburn. Chapters with smut will be marked so in future.
***Secondary couple is Puru-Harihar. Puru is still straight in this book. They will become a couple in the sequel. Harihar is gay and introduced in chapter 117: Hunt for A Demon’s Treasure- Part 4

A book with Indian mythology as its base, you've already got me there! Until now, I've enjoyed reading the story and look forward to more to come! Great job author!
This book is totally new for me. I've never been interested in Indian mythology, but this book is fun to read. I can see the author's hard work in this book, so I reward this book with 5 stars~ Good luck with this book! [img=recommend]
Yay Hindu mythology im so going to give this A read. i hope the 5star revIeW holds up. This bong chick is watching! Im excited 😜 Now I have to go ask how to pronounce the names again!
Very nice write up. I love the author’s imaginations and his ability to carry his readers along. That is a very good quality yo own as a writer and I think the author smashed it. A job welldone, author. 👍👍👍
A slow burner which didn't make me want to put this down. Okay, this book is good. I'm not a fan of this genre but I occasionally read books like this. and most of them have terrible grammar and pacing but not this one. the plot was interesting and most engaging. but some parts (the names) kind of broke my immersion. (it's probably just me). overall I'd say this is a good read and I'd recommend it to people who are comfortable with the genre.
I love BL, so I knew I will like this novel. I am very very happy to read something new, in an ancient mythos. Please keep writing new chapters.
Very beautifully written. Descriptions are epic, and the characters are extremely interesting! Got hooked from the very first chapter. Well done! Please keep writing and producing more chapters :D
The writing quality is one of the better ones i have seen, and it also makes sense grammatically. With daily updates and extra chapters, the author puts effort in to let us read. While the story development feels fast, it is at a good pace since it only focuses on main characters. Yet, i have no inkling about the myths of India, so i really cant relate it too much. But nevertheless, It's a good read :) Good luck on your journey author! Kudos to you!
A book with indian mythological elements. I can't say I don't like it. It has such a vivid character design, amazing world setting, great storytelling and pacing. And to top it off, the plot is something that makes me want to look forward for more chapters. Overall, a very good book.
It's a nice historical story. It reminds me of Ramayana though the plot is very different. Synopsis is interesting and story is really well defined. I like the way you described your every characters and plots. Keep it up dear author! I appreciate it!
Amazing! I can't wait for the update. The writing quality is great. I just started reading and I am already enjoying it. The story is developing quite nicely. There are a lot of unexpected events happening that just haves you on the edge of your seat. I specifically love how the author explains the meaning of the words you don't really understand. I have to say it is a really interesting story. Great job so far.
I've read hundreds of novels, maybe thousands, but yours is unique. I am curious about this theme and how you will develop it. Please don't stop!
Please read my friend's new FUN, HOT, and EXCITING story called Nothing In This World But Her. It is on Fizzo. Please see my announcements for the link. :)
From the start the story is very interesting. You keep wanting to read more and more. I can't wait to know what will happen. The writting is also beautiful. 5 stars from me!
I’m giving it a five out of five ‘cause the way the authour describe everything is extremely precise and the plot is developed meticulously and very well. Chapter’s description are on point. The grammar is top notch. The characters are clearly well written and designed. It’s clear that the author put so much work into it and succeeded in writing an amazing story in an amazing fantasy world🙌😌
I've always wanted to read a fantasy set other than medieval Europe. The language is exquisite and fits perfectly the story it's telling. This is one of the very few books that gives WN hope. Adding this to my library.
A great cover page! The story is very unique here, on WN. You show beautifully that fascination with a different culture can be easily used in literature, well done!

The characters are from the indian mythology, so they are unique and interesting. I am totally hooked with the story. The plot is smooth and writing quality is good. Please release more chapters. I am curious to see how this will turn out!!
The obligatory author's 5-star review. I just want to say that I hope you all enjoy my work and please support it for WSA21. I wanted write something different for the BL fantasy genre, and what better than to write with elements of my own rich culture. I would really love to hear what you all think. Please feel free to share your thoughts and comments, and reviews as well.
