Exploration Stories

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.

When you have a completely different story project you should be working on finishing, but decide to open up your notes app and finally write a fan fiction about Robin and Starfire instead, but your memory about the Teen Titans is fuzzy and you're too lazy to research what canonically happened, so you're basing everything off memory with some slight google searches here and there, writing a cozy love story that will be filled with copious amounts of grammatical errors because you're not sifting this through any sort of grammar checker. If this sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to stick around 💐 Yours truly, Yosh 💖

Updates-Every Monday and Friday: They didn't choose the journey. The journey chose them. Marcus, Lisa, Sabrina, Tyler, Tia, and Jake are ordinary people with ordinary lives- they wake up in a world that shouldn't exist. Before they can make sense of it, an unknown machine tears them away and drops them into another reality... and then another. They have no map. No control. No way back. Each world is built on a single idea taken to its extreme, forcing them to navigate societies unlike anything they've ever imagined. Some are beautiful. Others are terrifying. All of them are dangerous. The machine offers only one rule: Survive. Because with every world they endure, they move one step closer to home. But millions of realities may stand between them and that goal. Why were these six strangers chosen? Who built the machine? And what happens if they fail before reaching the final world? As the answers slowly unfold, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: They aren't just traveling through worlds. They're being tested by them.

I have lived a thousand lives in my sleep. I've survived villages drenched in blood. I've chased missing children through endless corridors. I've walked through places that don't exist and met people I've never known. Every dream leaves a mark. Every awakening leaves a question. Dream Veil is a collection of dream-inspired stories pulled from the space between sleep and reality. Some are nightmares. Some are adventures. Some are so vivid I wake up checking my phone to see if they really happened. If you've ever had a dream that stayed with you long after you opened your eyes... Welcome. You've crossed the veil.

A long epic saga for Curly, Anya, Daisuke and Swansea. This story takes place in the Mouthwashing universe, 4 months after the death of the crew- and their eventual return. It is the year 2263. The Tulpar's stranding became a publicized event. An expedition was planned for its retrieval and rescue. A military vessel, Argonaut II, from the nation of Canaris, docks the ship and investigates the interior for clues on what occurred. Finding the mummified bodies of the crew, they quickly whisk them onto the Argonaut II. Curly undergoes Reformation, a procedure only found in Canaris, and is restored with a new physical body. He suffers from the mental and physical trauma of his past, yet nothing prepares him as he comes to find out his crewmates were brought back through supernatural revivification. The ship's Admiral, Captain Hawkes, sits him down to explain the events of the last 2 months that led to this phenomenon at length. On the horizon, a lurking threat begins planning its next moves, with its sights set on Canaris for its Reformation procedure, while nations abroad forge political schemes. The crew of Tulpar joins the Argonaut II as they embark on a journey of adventure, self-discovery, exploration and danger to make the most out of the second life that was granted to them.

In a vast parallel world that resembles Earth only in shape-but not in soul-an endless alien desert stretches beneath a fractured red sun. From the wreckage of a destroyed mini spacecraft, a lone traveler awakens with no memory of who he is. He calls himself Nebula-a name given to him by a survivor he meets along the way. Encased in a highly advanced survival suit of unknown origin, Nebula is able to adapt, craft, and weaponize the alien environment around him. Though often goofy, reckless, and unintentionally hilarious, he survives encounters no one should walk away from. Deadly extraterrestrial creatures roam the wastelands, ancient structures lie buried beneath the sands, and remnants of forgotten civilizations hint that this world is far larger-and far more dangerous-than it first appears. At times of extreme danger, Nebula undergoes sudden shifts-his clumsy nature vanishes, replaced by precise combat skill, lethal reflexes, and tactical mastery, as if another version of him briefly takes control. When the moment passes, he remembers nothing. Traveling beside him is Ray, a Colayshian survivor struggling with her own species' biological vulnerabilities. Together, they explore hostile biomes, uncover hidden Nexus facilities, and awaken machines long thought abandoned-including the massive Scarwalkers. Unknown to Nebula, his past is tied to a catastrophic invasion, the loss of his family, and a powerful entity known as the Horizon Core, sealed within him. Many forces-creatures, factions, and remnants of ancient wars-are drawn to its presence. The desert is only the beginning. Nexus Parallisxis: Skywalker is a survival-driven sci-fi anicon blending dark humor, alien exploration, emotional mystery, and escalating cosmic conflict-where identity is fractured, danger is constant, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Thoughts of a fool, about the world. Some curses are not given by gods or demons - but by our own hearts. "The Foolish Curse" is a collection of thoughts and poetry drifting between reality, dreams, attachment, and emotional ruin.

You can travel the world together and still feel the distance. A Canadian man returns to Greece with his Greek wife, hoping that time away-ancient ruins, mountain roads, olive groves warmed by sun-might soften what years of responsibility have tightened. They are not broken. But they are no longer certain they are moving in the same direction. As they travel, old myths surface alongside newer doubts. Symbols recur-the owl, the olive, the laurel-quiet reminders that love, like history, survives through attention and care, not grand gestures. What begins as a shared journey becomes an intimate reckoning with marriage, desire, aging, and the fear of losing the person who knows you best. This is not a story about falling in love. It is about choosing each other-again. For readers who love slow-burn relationships, emotionally intelligent storytelling, second-chance love, and romances where connection deepens through honesty rather than spectacle.

Looking back on it, Jimmy blames the garden for everything that's happened. After all, that's where he found the box, which led to Deepfrost, which led to this whole spiral of backsliding further and further away from the warmth of life. It had all started simply enough- with a dungeon, and with a goal- and had, over time, meandered into a world of beasts and bosses and dangers that Jimmy never had fully been able to grasp until it was too late, until he learned what Deepfrost REALLY was. But, that's a little too close to the end of the story. Let's rewind things back to the start, back to the beginning of the game known as Deepfrost. Let's talk about the first runs, the first deadly encounters, the first small victories. Or . . . perhaps you should be left to discover that on your own. After all, Deepfrost is a game that prides itself in its own immersive experience . . . in more ways than one. --- Deepfrost is an AU that is a crossover of the games Inscryption (by Daniel Mullins) and Decked Out 2 (by Tango Tek). You don't need to know anything about either of these to enjoy this story. If you don't want spoilers for the level design of Decked Out 2 or the layout of Act 2 and some of the overarching lore of Inscryption, I would consider not reading this fic, or at least leaving it for later :]
