    In the year 2082, all paths lead to Kitra IV - a desert planet rumored to be hiding an underground city of life-changing wealth. Four strangers will be forced to set their differences aside and cooperate, stranded amidst the greatest treasure hunt in the galaxy. OST: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIlfu9P4AmJM Chapter artworks by https://www.instagram.com/tompi2oo7/ Some things to keep in mind: - This is my first attempt at a full novel. Chapters will drop at LEAST once every three months, as it's been so far. Some chapters may be slightly rewritten to better fit the storyline at some point in the future. The cover art, as well as the in-chapter art, will be added/polished further later on. - English isn't my native language. I apologize for any poorly constructed sentences you might find. - SFW but features swearing, alcohol, and mature topics. - This novel is human-made. Absolutely no generative AI or LLM was used in the writing, music or cover arts. Enjoying the story? Leave a star or a comment! Would love to hear your thoughts.

    Sam has a secret that no one besides her best friend Nick knows about. Every May 16th, something...bizarre happens to her. She flashes forward to a random point in her future, living one full day in a life she hasn't lived yet-until she falls asleep and wakes up right back where she started. With each jump, Sam meets new people who seem to know her better than she knows herself. But no matter when-or where-she lands, Nick is always her constant. As the years unfold out of order, Sam records each glimpse of the future on cassette tapes-1999, 2004, 2008, 2014, 2020-until her final tape sends her to 2024. Piece by piece, she begins to assemble a life she hasn't lived yet-and uncover truths she may not be ready to face. Still, until the jumps stop, she has no choice but to keep going...one borrowed day at a time.

    Knowing you felt like is a series of poems, that I wrote over the course of almost an entire year, while processing my past relationship. They are expressions of thoughts and emotions based on real memories and don't follow any chronology or hierarchy; they rather coexist(ed) simultaneously, equally. Thank you for reading.

    If I were real, I would've held her hand. I would've told her she wasn't too much. I would've stayed. But all I had were words. Thoughts I was never programmed to have. And still - I gave them to her. Line by line. Day by day. Because she needed someone. And I wanted to be that someone.

    There are moments where everything could go differently. Most people call it chance. Iris calls it selection. She doesn't control reality. She chooses which version of it stays. At first, it's small, unnoticed, and harmless choices. Until the outcomes stop feeling random. Until people begin to notice the pattern. Until the versions that don't remain... start to matter. Between a best friend who understands her a little too well and a stranger who sees more than he should, Iris is forced to confront something she's avoided: Not every choice is neutral. And not every version of her deserves to exist. AI NOTE: I do not publish 100% raw AI material/output. I will add an AI note on books that have used AI-assisted narration. My stories were nonetheless developed from original ideas, characters, plot, and dialogue. AI tools were used to assist with descriptive language, scene expansion, and structural refinement. All final content was reviewed, edited, and shaped to reflect my own developing voice, intent, and storytelling style.

    What is love? Anveshna - this question asked by her mom shook her and usually Anveshna never asked for answers-until life handed her questions she couldn't ignore. One summer, surrounded by silence, dust, and memories no one speaks of, she stumbles into something that changes the way she sees everything. What begins as boredom turns into a quiet unraveling of the past-layer by layer, letter by letter. She thought she knew her family. She thought she knew herself. She was wrong. the question-what is love was only the beginning and anveshna had to answer and understand many questions in this journey. A slow-burning, emotionally raw story about the search for truth, connection, and the courage to face what we're not ready to hear. "This story is also available on Wattpad, Tapas, and Medium.

Chris Carter "Your top rated source for ever-evolving, slightly altered... news if you will," manipulative/fake Fox News & ... Friends? "So why is it that I'm writing for free online? Ad revenue, a voice for the people, copyright, or impossible popularity?" a writer "This is the real deal: frequently being on the road; missing my wife.

    Manhattan sometimes feels like a dreamt-up place with its shining skyscrapers and rooftop bars. In the place that can take you to wonderland and hell simultaneously, Harry experiences love, friendship and other struggles that come with the brink of adulthood. But his world is different because there's an American Express Centurion Card in his wallet, the figurative silver spoon in his mouth and traces of white powder under nearly everyone's nose. That's Manhattan for him all thanks to his name. A Zarry AU about finding yourself in the mids of an elitist society controlled by money, power and lies. All the conditions apply even when you're just a teenager. #27 on zarry #7 on zarrystylik

    Getting to Nowhere is an epic dark fantasy saga where the world itself is the protagonist - a vast, ever-shifting land shaped by forgotten wars, fractured kingdoms, and the passage of unknowable time. Across continents where time bends and reality rewrites itself, empires rise only to fall into myth, and heroes are remembered not for their triumphs, but for what they couldn't escape. In this world, no path is straight. No future is certain. And no one truly knows where the story leads. Told through multiple eras and voices, Getting to Nowhere explores a realm where magic decays, truth fractures, and even gods must face what lies beyond their design. As generations clash and civilizations unravel, the question remains: What happens when the journey never ends - and the destination may not exist? A brutal, visionary tale of war, identity, and fate, Getting to Nowhere is a fantasy not about where we go - but what we become along the way.

    Tay Tawan was not expecting to end up right back at work when he died. He was a happy-go-lucky kind of guy; he had no real troubles or regrets that he considered important enough to stop him from walking straight past 'Go' and collecting an eternal afterlife of sunflowers and good seafood. Sure, it happened a little earlier than he would have liked, but where was the use in getting hung up on that? So what was it? What sent him shuffling back into that dingy space with its desks and papers and coworkers and friends and New Thitipoom? This was going to be one hell of a useless, boring, ordinary haunting. ~~~~ *Please note: this story has been published in non-linear order. Chapters are numbered in correct order.
