Existential Stories

That feeling of profound sense of emptiness. That dillemma inside of you fighting for your life and existence

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

Mercy is easier when the world isn't starving. if survival demands cruelty everytime, then what actually survives? The world did not end with fire. It ended with petals that can pierce flesh. Power does not corrupt the heart, it merely removes the the curtains hiding it Even the purest flower drinks from graves beneath its soil. Do everything can be a miracle gifted by the nature? Or merely a curse? Hope is a candle that survives by teaching itself how to burn slowly. Let us ponder in a world where a garden does not ask permission before it devours the ruin beneath it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ IMPORTANT NOTICE: "Some" parts of this story is written in a poetic and philosophical style.

15-year-old Cage's life was flipped upside down when he discovered that buried within his soul was Kisei Suru Takusan, an ancient, godlike entity whose power shook the world for over three thousand years. When Cage begins awakening strange spiritual abilities, he's pulled into an unseen war fought by Practitioners and Cryptids alike. And unfortunately for Cage, to them, he's a threat. Cage has to resist Takusan's pull as he grows stronger and comes to understand more of the violent world he's been forced into in a journey where every battle brings him closer to mastering incredible power, just as much as it pushes him closer to losing himself entirely. As unlikely allies, ruthless enemies, and differing ideologies clash around him, Cage must decide what kind of person he'll become, and how he'll survive an ever-changing world that's at odds with him, just as much as he is with himself.

A gifted student and model citizen, he has always diligently followed all of the guidelines prescribed by the experts, but a chance encounter with a dangerous old man threatens to change everything.

And now, the detail I'm changing - the twist that sparked this alternate story: drum roll, please... (just kidding). Like it or not, I've chosen to change one of the characters in the Losers' Club. The change I'm making is small, but its consequences ripple through the story in unexpected ways. In this version of IT, Eddie Kaspbrak is... well, not quite the Eddie we know. Instead, I introduce another member in the Losers' Club: a young girl named Nicole. Nicole Black is three years younger than the rest of the group. She lives in the shadow of her overprotective mother, who treats her like a fragile treasure, insisting she stay home, monitoring her health obsessively, and "curing" her of illnesses that exist only in her imagination, much like Eddie's experiences in the original story. Her world is one of rules, books, and careful observation rather than traditional childish playdates and mischief. But make no mistake: Nicole is endlessly curious, knowledgeable, and almost frighteningly precise. She has few, if any, friends, and she feels comfortable in her own company - a quiet little freak, fully aware of how dif erent she is. When Pennywise turns his attention to her, she has no choice but to step out of her solitary world. She joins the rest of the Losers' Club, approaching every strange and terrifying encounter with reason, always trying to observe, classify, and understand what she sees. At first, no one takes her seriously, mainly because of her age. Yet, despite her skepticism and scientific lens, the reality of Pennywise - the grotesque, shapeshifting horror that lurks in Derry - cannot be denied. Nicole, just like the rest of the Losers, comes to realize that some things in the world simply cannot be explained. And, gradually, Nicole Black grows into a more and more complex character as the story reveals several dark secrets and twists.

TARTARUS A Road Novel About the Hell We Carry Inside He bought a ticket to Nowhere. That was all. A tired station at 2:30 in the morning. One working ticket window. Damp asphalt. Cheap perfume. People hugging each other before the road took them away. Then he stepped onto the bus. The driver looked like a man who had seen too much of humanity and kept driving anyway. The route made no sense. The road kept changing. Passengers disappeared. Memories became places. Old guilt boarded without asking. And somewhere between rain, silence, bad coffee, strange stops, and a destination no one could explain, he began to understand the worst truth of all: Tartarus was not waiting at the end of the road. He had been carrying it inside himself for years. Darkly funny, strange, and painfully human, TARTARUS is an existential road novel about guilt, escape, self-deception, and the moment a man finally stops running from his own life.

War is coming to Mid-Hill. For nearly fifteen centuries, the kingdoms of the continent have drowned in blood, hatred, and endless conflict. In the quiet city of Arienland, Antonio Fabrizio Hellardo, known only as Tony, lives as an outcast: a young man of conquered Orien blood trapped beneath the banner of the kingdom that destroyed his homeland. He is not a hero. He is not a knight. And he is certainly not someone the world remembers. But when war between Arkania and Galion begins to consume the continent once more, Tony is forced to leave behind the golden fields of home and march toward a future written in steel, fire, and death. Haunted by the legacy of his fallen father, driven by love he fears he can never deserve, and tormented by the growing darkness within himself, Tony enters a brutal world where loyalty is fragile, legends walk among men, and survival comes at the cost of innocence. As ancient forces begin to awaken and the shadow of a forgotten evil stirs once again, one question remains: Can a man who believes he is worth nothing become the one who changes the world? A dark fantasy saga filled with war, tragedy, brotherhood, political conflict, romance, psychological struggle, and the rise of a broken soul.

Impossible rifts bleed across the sky, and a marginalised people are being blamed for a disaster no one truly understands. At its heart is Hidayat--a privileged boy sheltered by a family that knows the truth: he shouldn't exist. Hidayat knows what he is, even if he doesn't deserve the consequences. The world remains oblivious. Marinov does not. As a healer, Marinov is sworn to protect life. But he lives on borrowed time, bound to carry out an order he cannot refuse: eliminate the boy whose existence is unravelling the world. Exposing the truth would doom Hidayat. Refusing the order would doom Marinov. And every day, the world breaks a little further. [ FIRST STABLE DRAFT ] [ WORD COUNT: 90K ]

A chaotic diary written by a mentally unstable teenager trying to survive school, relationships, identity and her own thoughts. About friendships, fear, anger, school and all the things I can't say out loud. People here are named after teas and flowers for privacy reasons... or maybe because it's easier to process that way, for they don't actually feel real. (Idk why I'm doing this. Could this be considered a vent..??)

Everyone at Saint Orpheus University agrees on three things: 1. Elias Mercer is dead. 2. Elias Mercer was murdered. 3. Elias Mercer is currently attending lectures. The administration insists this is not a contradiction. Wendy Gazab thought the Evil School of Evil was bad enough. Then she got transferred to a university where death is treated like a paperwork dispute, reality changes by committee vote, and the murder investigation keeps getting revised retroactively. Now Wendy and the dangerously intelligent Francesco are trapped inside an institution that can edit truth faster than detectives can uncover it. Every clue rewrites the crime. Every witness remembers a different version. And somewhere deep beneath Saint Orpheus, something is feeding on consensus itself. Murder mysteries are supposed to end when you find the killer. This one starts there.
