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.
