Nine planets. Nine powers. One Vortex. Long ago, the nine planets lived together in peace. But after the mysterious Vortex appeared, everything changed. Its fragments awakened strange powers, and the planets were soon dragged into a war that has continued for generations. Caden Ray never expected to become part of that war. After his spaceship crashes on an unknown planet, Caden discovers that two people from his crew are missing - including his younger brother. His search for them leads him into a conflict far bigger than he could have imagined. Nine worlds are fighting for something powerful. And somewhere within the chaos lies the truth about the Vortex.

In a near future governed by the Equilibrium and by artificial intelligence, humanity lives in an anesthetized peace, one in which even feeling is treated as a flaw to be corrected. The new global Order, born to erase war, pain, and instability, builds its power on the absolute control of the individual in the name of collective stability. Art is suppressed. Creativity, surveilled. Food has been reduced to standardized nourishment. Emotions are detected in real time by biometric devices and corrected before they can cross the critical threshold. Anything that slips outside the parameters is an anomaly, and anomalies are not tolerated. Alina lives inside this system. She is efficient, silent. Compliant, on the surface. But something in her has begun to crack. She dreams of places she shouldn't know, feels nostalgia for experiences she doesn't remember, senses an absence no protocol can account for. When she finds a photograph that escaped erasure and intercepts a clandestine network, she is led to Brian.exe, a secret simulation where everything The Order banned has survived. There she meets Brian - unpredictable and charismatic, ironic and wary, embodying everything her world has learned to repress. Beside him, life stops being merely functional. The body remembers how to feel. Emotion resurfaces with a force that can be neither measured nor contained. But the deeper Alina moves into that reality, the clearer it becomes that Brian.exe is not merely a refuge. It is a threat to the established order, a living archive of everything power has erased. Brian.exe is a dystopian novel about the control of emotion, and about the cruelty of a system that calls itself perfect while erasing everything that makes people human. How much can be lost, in order to stay alive?

Magnet Mouse & Friends A wildlands horror comedy Deep in the wildlands of Zerth - where the landscape shifts on a whim, the sky is always grey, and even the locals know better than to wander too far - Magnet Mouse lives in her burrow with her family and calls it home. On the surface it looks like a found-family slice-of-life. A mom who provides for everyone. Kids who argue and make up in real time. A best friend next door who holds everything together. Warm, loud, chaotic, and alive. The horror is in the contrast. The same warmth and love that defines Maggie's circle becomes something else entirely when it turns outward. Innocent creatures get hurt. Casually. Without malice. Simply as a byproduct of how this world works and who these creatures are. And the story never lets you forget who gets to be safe and who doesn't. Meanwhile, somewhere out in the galaxy, a desperate coalition of planets has finally run out of patience with Zerth and everything on it. They are coming. They have plans, weapons, strategy, and absolutely no idea what they are walking into. Maggie's twins - optimistic Plusy and clear-eyed Minum, tails permanently connected - are trying to be the good ones in a world designed to make that impossible. Their firecracker housemate Fifi is a natural disaster looking for somewhere to happen. Their civilized best friend Maddy is holding the whole situation together with both hands and increasingly less sleep. And Maggie herself is grooming her family like a cat and planning her grocery run, completely unbothered. Chapter one: the galaxy declares war. Maggie finds a snack.

Drawn to a woman he cannot explain or ignore, Kael discovers a bond that defies everything he knows about fate and mates. As Elara uncovers the truth behind her forgotten existence, she must face the power hidden within her-and the reason the Moon Goddess kept her secret. She was never forgotten. She was hidden.

A living boundary between worlds. A bloodline that was supposed to be extinct. A bond that could save them - or destroy them. Alessia has never believed in magic. Then the forest pulled her in, marked her with silver, and woke something ancient in her blood. Now she's caught between the Blackwood Guardians - protectors who've become controllers - and Luc, a charismatic enemy who claims he wants to free the Veil. Both sides want her. Both sides need her. But neither side is telling her the truth. The only person who might know more is Kaiser - a guarded, infuriating, protective stranger who's bound to her by a mate bond neither of them asked for. He says he's protecting her. But he's hiding something. And the deeper Alessia digs, the more she realizes: The Heart was never meant to be a sacrifice. It was meant to be a bridge. But to become that bridge, she'll have to trust someone who's been lying to her. And she'll have to listen to a power that's been screaming for centuries. The Veil is breaking. She's the only one who can hear it.

An aging legendary retired actor decides one day to tell his life story to young a butler who comes from a generation that lacks humanity, but in order for him to prove he isn't like his generation, he must listen to a story of what it means to be human and to find his purpose in life. Note: It's mostly dialogue and the writing is somewhat weak, because the story relies on the dialogue instead and the writing is meant to be imperfect, but the dialogue is very strong though.
