    The dead hand of history still grips the throat of the present. Three centuries after a meteor shower devastated Earth, humanity is divided. The powered are blamed for the virus that killed billions and twisted the natural world into something deadly. Feared and hated, they are sent into the wilds to fight the mutations that now threaten what remains. Ezra has spent his life resisting that division. As a doctor, he believes every life is worth saving. Then he comes home to find a wounded stranger collapsed on his floor. Saving the man is instinct. What follows is not. The choice pulls Ezra into a hidden war where old hatred still shapes the present, and the truth behind the world's ruin may be more dangerous than the monsters outside the city walls.

    Why do dreams occur at night? And what do they symbolize? Are they fragments of an existing Multiverse? Or are they just mere creations of our own intense feelings and emotions? The question that even modern science failed to answer. Meet Kaizen Mizuki, an ordinary high schooler living an extraordinary nightmare. By day, he survives classrooms, bullying, and the quiet weight of expectations pressing down on him from every direction. By night, his sleep fractures into something far stranger, dreams that feel too real, spaces that exist between waking and reality, and fears that take shape and speak back. At first, they are only dreams. Then they begin to follow him. As Kaizen drifts through liminal worlds where logic bends and fear becomes tangible, he learns that sleep is not an escape, but a doorway. What begins as psychological horror slowly unfolds into something vast, astral travel, higher dimensions, and cosmic beings that do not hate humanity... yet are willing to erase it without hesitation. While galaxies burn and universes tremble beyond human perception, Kaizen still wakes up for school. He still laughs with friends. He still falls in love. Aoi, a girl who is playful, teasing, and painfully human towards him becomes his anchor to a normal life, even as Kaizen is pulled further away from it. Between awkward lunches, quiet walks, and moments of fragile romance, he carries a truth no one else can see, that reality itself is unstable, and he may be the only one standing between the boundary of existence and collapse. This is a slow burn story, blending slice-of-life warmth with psychological tension, scientific curiosity, and cosmic horror, Liminal Drift is a story about crossing boundaries, between dreams and waking, fear and courage, love and responsibility. Because sometimes, survival isn't just about saving the universe... It's about choosing to face it, even when the cost is everything... - P.S- Images in this story are all AI generated

    The world is a masterpiece built on a lie. Our eyes see the rhythm, but they miss the discord. Twelve-year-old Shiro has never known a day of peace. Born into a lineage of legendary heroes, he was supposed to be the next great flame. Instead, he is "Untuned"-born with a violent nerve disorder called Static that leaves his body in a state of constant, electric rebellion. While the world around him moves in a perfect, synchronized harmony, Shiro is a glitch in the system, anchored to a quiet farm in the Green Province, unbuilt for the world of warriors. His father raised him in the shadow of a legend: Saki, the mother Shiro hasn't seen since he was a child. A Captain of the Citadel and the elite blade of King Solace, she represents the pinnacle of a world that values perfect order above all else. But humanity is looking at a false reality. The peace of the realm is a facade, a "tuned" illusion masking a mysterious phenomenon that is slowly causing the world to drift out of sync. When Saki suddenly returns, it isn't for a homecoming-it's an escape. Having discovered the dark secrets buried beneath the Citadel's laws, she has defied the King to protect the one thing the world considers a "logic error": her son. Now, mother and son are on the run, pursued by unknown enemies and hidden agendas that stretch into the stars. Together with a band of unlikely allies they meet along the way, Shiro must navigate a landscape of hidden truths and ancient phenomena. In a journey that will take them from the highest spires to the deepest mires, Shiro will realize that being "Untuned" isn't his weakness. In a world living on lies, the boy who doesn't fit the rhythm might be the only one who can see the truth-and the only one who can save a world that is literally coming apart at the seams. The board is set. The pieces are moving. The Untuning has begun.

Cast aside as worthless, he discovers something far more dangerous: a power that should not exist. While others cultivate the world, he cultivates himself. Far beyond his reach, Shen Raizen walks a different path. A path carved through pain and hardship- chosen willingly, at the cost of his humanity. One seeks control. The other has abandoned it. In a world where even gods can fall- only one will remain.

And when Alexander appears, it becomes clear: she is no longer just an observer. If the Gruns find her before she understands what is happening, this town will be the first to disappear.

The two begin a quiet, platonic summer journey to uncover the meaning behind her name. As they walk through sunlit fields and starlit nights, their bond deepens in a way that is warm, protective, and profoundly human-not romantic.

    In the shadowed heart of 17th-century France, where superstition bleeds into reality, Elara Vane's silver eyes mark her as an outcast. Orphaned and apprenticed to a village apothecary, she clings to a fragile normalcy. But when ancient seals shatter, unleashing horrors born of the Seven Deadly Sins, Elara inherits a terrifying legacy from her grandmother: she is the last Keeper. A cryptic journal reveals the truth - the night-stalkers terrorizing the countryside are cursed nobles, monstrous embodiments of Pride, Greed, Lust, and more. Only Elara, bound by her bloodline, can seal them away again. But the key lies in their Icons: shattered relics tied to their human downfall. Driven by duty and hunted by beasts who recognize her lineage, Elara embarks on a perilous quest across a plague-ravaged Europe. With Gabriel, a cynical ex-soldier scarred by his encounter with Wrath, she navigates decaying châteaus, toxic swamps, and forgotten crypts. She must outwit a dragon hoarding gold, resist a siren's deadly allure, and face the bloated horror of Gluttony. Each Icon claimed reveals a fragment of the beasts' tragic past-and a chilling connection to her blood. As the final confrontation looms at the sacred ruins where the curse began, Elara discovers the Keeper's terrible price. Victory demands more than courage; it requires an eternal sacrifice. Can she pay the cost to bind the Sins and save a world that fears her, even if it means becoming a silent guardian, forever watching from the twilight realm? A haunting tale of cursed blood, monstrous sins, and the eternal vigil of the silver-eyed girl.

    "The Way You Are was born from the quiet tension between what we show and what we truly are. It's a story about fragile souls trying to exist in a world that often misunderstands them. Behind the school walls, the novel explores emotional abuse, the weight of expectation, and the silent beauty of resilience. This is not a story of perfect love-it's a reflection of how broken hearts still find ways to shine. I wanted to capture the raw, unfiltered emotion of being human, of loving despite the fear, and of learning that being yourself is the most daring act of all."

    Hogwarts is no longer merely dangerous - it is listening. As whispers curl through stone corridors and ancient roots stir beneath the castle, Juniper Sallow finds herself caught between what grows in darkness and what refuses to stay buried. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and fear moves faster than truth - through classrooms, through greenhouses, through the hearts of children who are far too young to carry it. While students turn on one another and the walls themselves seem to remember old violence, Juniper must learn what it means to be seen: as a Muggleborn, as a teacher, and as someone who refuses to look away. Between petrified victims, shifting loyalties, and a castle that breathes uneasily around her, she begins to understand that monsters are not always what we are taught to fear - and that survival often looks like quiet, stubborn care. Beneath the Stone is a slow-burning, atmospheric retelling of the Chamber of Secrets through an adult's eyes - rooted in growth, prejudice, and the fragile act of choosing to stay when leaving would be easier.

    Haven came to the city to write a story - not to become part of one. A strange pawn shop. A dead man. And a simple gold ring that feels far too intentional to be chance. Maddox feels magic before he names it. He's learned that ignoring it has never made the world safer. As quiet forces begin to move, Haven finds herself at the center of something she doesn't remember choosing - and drawn toward a man who seems to know more than he's willing to say. What begins as curiosity sharpens into something more dangerous: trust, tension, and an attachment neither of them planned for. She doesn't yet understand what she's carrying - or what it's meant to awaken. Only that fate has a shape. And it fits perfectly on her finger.

    The gold appeared at dawn. No one saw it arrive. No one dared touch it. In the mist-shrouded village at the foot of the mountains, Elira has always lived by the rules of survival. But when an intricately carved gold bracelet, something far too ancient and precise to be human-made, appears by the village well, she is the first to recognize it for what it truly is: a mark. A claim. Vaelrith is not the dragon of mindless legends. He is a creature of calculation, ancient power, and a hunger that spans centuries. When he chooses Elira, it isn't just for her life, it's for a bond that begins to shift the very foundations of her world. As a storm of ancient magic and dangerous consequences gathers, Elira is forced to choose: resist the tether that pulls her toward the mountains, or step into the storm and discover what happens when a human heart beats in time with a dragon's soul. One offering. One choice. One bond that will redefine them both.

    Saros Comstock has spent most of his life trying to be the kind of man his father already seems to be. Steady. Patient. Good. At eighteen, Saros is the oldest of four brothers, twin to Aven, unofficial second parent to Cael and Lior, and devoted caretaker of a deeply entitled pet chicken named Colonel. His family has always been close, loud, and a little ridiculous, but now everything is changing. After years of extra shifts and quiet sacrifice, Saros's dad has moved the family to Deceptions End, a ferry town in the Cascadia Archipelago, where he and Saros's mother are building something new: a garage, a diner, a convenience store, and a home above it all. For Saros, the new island means new roads, new water, new people, and a chance for his brothers to build lives of their own. But it also means watching his father finally step into the dream he worked so hard for-and wondering if Saros will ever become half the man Dad is. Between ferry crossings, rain-soaked streets, family dinners, brotherly chaos, and the strange comfort of starting over, Saros learns that being good is not something a man simply is. It is something he chooses. Again and again. For the people he loves.

    Heather Orme isn't your average detective - mostly because she's not supposed to be one. She's eighteen, dramatic, and allergic to common sense. When a mysterious note appears in South London whispering "Found you," Heather decides to investigate... armed with a magnifying glass, a trench coat, and absolutely no plan. Between Celeste - the radiant singer who might be hiding more than lyrics - and Mari - the cardigan‑wearing voice of reason who's just trying to survive Heather's chaos - things spiral fast. There's a puppeteer pulling strings, Detective Inspector Walsh yelling "HEATHERRR!", and enough emotional damage to fill a crime scene report. It's a mystery. It's a comedy. It's a psychological fever dream. And somehow, Heather's still convinced she can solve it before bedtime. Expect: chaos, clues, accidental brilliance, and one girl who refuses to stay ordinary.
