Mental-struggle Stories

Arin never meant to fall. One moment he's sitting in class. The next, the sky shatters and reality lets go of him. Trapped in a broken dream world where thought shapes reality, Arin discovers a terrifying power known as the Void - a force that erases fear, pain... and everything that makes him human. Watching from the darkness is NOX, a calm and ancient presence who believes emotions are lies and existence itself is tired of struggling. Every time Arin uses the Void, something disappears. A memory. A feeling. A piece of himself. As dreams collapse into reality and silence spreads, Arin must face the question no one wants to ask: If nothing hurts anymore... why exist at all? A dark, philosophical sci-fi series about identity, power, and the cost of escape.
