    "Not everyone who looks at you truly sees you. Some only notice the version of you that serves their silence. Others love you not for who you are - but for the void you fill. This is a story of someone who walked through the world unarmed, carrying emotions like time bombs, trying to survive in a world of polite conversations and cruel forgettings. This isn't a love story. This isn't a motivational diary. It's a quiet rebellion. A philosophical autopsy of being a 'phase' in someone's life. If you've ever felt unseen even while being watched, loved but never chosen, or used in the name of healing - this is for you. Because some pains are only visible to the ones who feel them. And not everyone has equal eyes."

    A cryptic letter arrives with no return address, no stamp-only his own handwriting and a warning: "Do not meet her again." But he already has. And he can't forget her. As his reality begins to crumble, love and guilt entwine like smoke. Is she the cure to his emptiness-or the reason for his unraveling? In a world where nothing is certain, and even the self is suspect, how do you trust a heart that may not be your own?

    Will humans survive humanity, what it's become? When happiness is a weapon and mind betrays. When the sky is black with clouds of drugs, culture crumbles under its own complexity and rises technology with dangerous beliefs. When the only thing left to rely on is humanity, it experiences its happiest moment, and also its last. Rage prevails, leaders decay in unprecedented addiction, leaving a world behind. Will this leaderless humanity, stand a chance against the horrors. Especially when their phones know them more then themselves.

    Adrian Keller's life is ordinary-until a single letter changes everything: "You are hereby summoned for the crime of being alive." Suddenly, the world twists into corridors that stretch endlessly, doors that lead nowhere, and shadows that seem to watch his every move. A faceless bureaucrat, Mr. Grey, awaits to judge him. Guided by the steadfast faith of Elias, challenged by the cold logic of Maxim, and haunted by the quiet intensity of Clara Weiss, Adrian must navigate a surreal labyrinth where every step questions reality itself. In a city indifferent to suffering, Adrian faces a trial with no rules, a verdict with no clarity, and a question that cannot be ignored: what does it truly mean to exist? The Trial of Existence is a dark, philosophical journey blending the unsettling surrealism of Kafka, the moral intensity of Dostoevsky, and the existential absurdity of Camus. A story about guilt, identity, love, and the fragile human spirit standing against a universe that refuses to explain itself.
