    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

    What do you do when nothing is wrong, yet nothing feels right? Depths of the Ocean is a collection of poems born from waiting, wondering, and searching for meaning in ordinary days. Each chapter explores a different corner of the mind-loss, loneliness, hope, creativity, and the endless question of who we are becoming.

    A glimpse into the minds of those who suffer from trauma, anxiety and seclusion. It is very important to me that awareness about mental health is spread, thus the reason for this short story. A battle against all the negative aspects of your mind is sometimes the most difficult battle to overcome, and not many people are aware of that. I hope this story sheds some light on what trauma, anxiety that can lead to depression can do to people, and at the end, how to move past the worst.

    "Sa mundong puno ng ingay, may isang kaluluwang natutong maglakad nang tahimik, dala ang bigat ng nakaraan at takot sa kinabukasan. Ang katawan niya ay pagod, ang puso sugatan, at ang bawat araw ay pakikipaglaban sa lungkot na matagal nang nakatira sa loob niya. Pero kahit nababalot ng dilim, natutunan niyang tumayo. Minsan mabagal, minsan masakit ngunit hindi siya tumigil. Natuklasan niyang ang buhay ay minsan lang ibinibigay... at kahit nakakatakot, kailangan niyang alagaan ang sariling sinubok ng panahon. Sa bawat patak ng ulan, sa bawat gabing may luha, unti-unti niyang natagpuan ang lakas na hindi niya alam na meron siya. At sa dulo, sa pinakamatinding pagod, may liwanag na naghihintay... kahit gaano kaliit. Ito ang kwento ng isang taong pilit lumalaban, nagmamahal muli, naghahanap ng pag-asa, at natututong yakapin ang sarili kahit hindi pa lubusang nakakalaya sa lungkot."

    This is an autobiographical journey between past and present - between a body that cannot walk and a mind that runs endlessly through memories. It is a story of loneliness and the constant yearning to remain within the mind itself. I was inspired by the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." I may not have much in common with it on the surface, but something still connects us. If you've ever felt forgotten, this book is for you.

    Eliah is a young girl who grew up without male role models, in an environment where she had to learn early on how to protect herself. Behind her talkative nature lies a silent inner world, filled with thoughts she shares with no one. Convinced that she is in control of her own life, she moves forward with clear goals, believing she can handle everything. But some things escape logic: feelings appear without warning, and hardships strike before you're ever ready. Between attachment, loss, and self-discovery, Eliah will have to face a reality she can neither avoid nor fully understand. How far can you go to truly find yourself? And should you wait for life to shape you... or dare to go beyond your limits, even if it means losing yourself in the process?

    She learned how to be acceptable without anyone teaching her. At home, she was quiet. At school, agreeable. With friends, easy. Everyone liked her-but never the same version. Some days she was funny. Other days, calm. Responsible. Carefree. Whatever the moment needed... she became. And when she was alone? She didn't know who to be. One night, after laughing a little too much somewhere that didn't feel like hers, she sat in silence and realized something unsettling- She couldn't remember how she existed when no one was watching. Not because she was empty. But because she had divided herself so well... there was nothing left that was only hers. And for the first time, a question stayed: If everyone knows me differently... who am I when no one is looking?
