The Baker Street Heresy

yong_wang_2855
London has fallen. The fog is alive. And the world’s greatest detective is a monster. Fifty years ago, the Gates of Hell flung open over London. Now, steam engines chug alongside divine miracles, and the smog hides things far worse than pickpockets. In this new, corrupted industrial age, standard deduction isn't enough. When the constabulary finds bodies twisted into impossible shapes, they don't call a hero. They call the resident of 221B Baker Street. Meet Sherlock Holmes: A cynical, chain-smoking recluse who sold his soul not to a devil, but to something... older. He doesn't just find the truth; he uses the eldritch tentacles residing in his shadow to tear it out of the darkness. Aided by Dr. John Watson—a gentleman surgeon with a terrifying talent for torture—and a landlady who is secretly the Empire’s runaway Saintess, Holmes operates on the fringe of heresy. But a new conspiracy is rising within the towering, corrupt Church itself. To save London, the detective must embrace the very abyss he fights against. Logic is dead. Long live the heresy.

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!
