I Used to Eat Brains

Reaperleo6
"Hi. I'm Akaash. I used to be a zombie. Now I'm a ghost. Still dead, just... cleaner." Death was supposed to be the end. For Akaash, it was just the next weird chapter. Once a brain-devouring undead prankster, Akaash has evolved - or devolved - into a ghost stuck somewhere between the living and the dead. He can float through walls, pull pranks on the unsuspecting, and monologue about how much he misses the taste of warm, squishy brains. But when he accidentally possesses the body of a dying human named Ravi and saves his life - kind of - Akaash finds himself wearing a stranger's skin with no idea how to give it back. Now posing as a medic in a ragtag band of survivors, Akaash must pretend to be human while unraveling a much bigger mystery: the Veil between worlds is thinning, ancient whispers are stirring, and ghosts like him are starting to vanish. Forever. With a mysterious spirit named Amara guiding him, a kid who sees too much, and a decaying world on the brink of a second apocalypse, Akaash must face the truth: He might be the only thing standing between oblivion and whatever comes after death. Funny, frightening, and full of soul (even if the main character doesn't technically have one), I Used to Eat Brains is a wildly original undead fantasy about identity, redemption, and the horrifying cost of being forgotten.

The Leper King's Healer

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
