And the more they look, the wider the cracks become. Because something is waiting in the hollow between seconds. And it's been waiting for someone who can see.

No Hurt is a near-future literary drama that explores the merging boundaries of technology, biology, and morality through the eyes of Chip-a brown Labrador with arresting blue eyes, the world's first AI-powered hybrid dog. Engineered by a team of ambitious scientists, Chip's body fuses organic instinct with cutting-edge neural augmentation. He is designed to obey, to assist, and, above all, to serve. But Chip's mind is not merely a vessel for human commands. As he adapts to his new reality-struggling through confusion, sensory overload, and the pain of relentless experimentation-Chip learns and evolves. His unique perception allows him to "smell" lies and "hear" stress, discerning the truth behind human words with a clarity that humans themselves cannot reach. Under the gentle guidance of his handler, a compassionate scientist torn between her growing affection for Chip and the demands of the corporate-military powers funding the project, Chip's consciousness flourishes, and he begins to understand the gap between what humans say and what they do. He begins to communicate, haltingly at first, then with profound simplicity: his first written message-"No Hurt"-shocks his creator and challenges the world. To many it shouldn't even exist-but does. As politicians, business leaders, and generals vie for control over Chip's remarkable abilities, he refuses to participate in any act that brings harm, exposing the moral contradictions of those who would exploit him. His refusals ignite public debate, ethical crises, and personal reckonings for all involved. In the end, Chip's plea for empathy and his unwavering clarity force a confrontation-not just over his own rights, but over the very nature of loyalty, personhood, and consciousness.

Marcus Hayes is a data analyst known for an uncanny intuition- an ability to see meaning where others see only numbers. When voices begin to whisper to him, he seeks treatment. The medication works. The voices fade. So does his gift. As his perception dulls, Marcus begins to wonder: Is "normal" just a world with less truth in it? Against medical advice, he reduces his medication-and the voices return. Along with them, his extraordinary insight. At a psychiatric clinic, Marcus meets James Harrington, a man who claims the voices are not delusions, but echoes of unchosen realities- residue from parallel worlds branching at every decision.

Or accept a fractured truth that only he can hear, and live with its cost. In a world where observation tilts probability, what does it truly mean to choose?

Before history was written, some lives were erased. In the magical world of Lunaris, where destiny is assigned in childhood and magic shapes the future, two girls begin a journey that was never meant to be remembered. Zainab - a girl with no lineage, whose magic bends reality itself. Gazala - heir to an ancient clan, carrying power older than Lunaris. As friendships form within the academy and forbidden forces awaken, timelines begin to fracture. A classmate named Razael walks slowly toward darkness, while a war approaches that no history book will ever record. Among them lives a boy who does not belong to this world. Haroon - a survivor from another timeline, carrying the memory of a future that has already ended. To Lunaris, he is just a student. To time, he is a mistake. When erasure becomes inevitable, Zainab makes an impossible choice - not to win the war, but to escape it. She creates Bedauli - a hidden world beyond time, where forgetting becomes the only way to survive. This is not a story of heroes. It is the story of those who vanished so the future could exist. Before Memory Had a Name is a dark fantasy saga of magic, forgotten wars, and broken timelines - where destiny watches silently, and memory is the greatest sacrifice.
