    You had always found your solace in the fictional world. But that could only get you so far. The world was a constant buzzing, a noise you were compelled to listen, whilst chasing that sweet melody which was unreachable. The noise rendered you numb, numb enough to stay awake for far longer than necessary. Finally, you try the last option- Lucid dreaming, paired with some suspicious looking pills. That lands you in a new reality, a form of escapism. Unbeknownst to you, the world you chose to ignore will eventually become an escape from the world you yearned for in the first place.

    One year ago, Sarah's best friend Cassie brutally murdered four classmates in the house next door. Then Cassie disappeared. No one knows why she did it. Or that Sarah could have stopped her. Now, strange things are happening - messages written in blood, familiar voices whispering to Sarah, faces in the mirror that aren't her own. Cassie's favorite slumber party game was always Bloody Mary and her final entries in a journal are filled with stories about a "presence" in the mirror, who listened when no one else did. Cassie poured her fear, anger, and heartbreak into Bloody Mary - confessing the bullying, loneliness, and slow, painful realization that Sarah was starting to make new friends and move on without her. As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Sarah and her friends - including Abby, who might be something more - must follow the clues and go to what's now called the Demon House. There, they will learn what really happened, what Cassie unleashed...and whether she's still alive. Cassie faced her demons and failed. Bloody Mary is done waiting. And Sarah is next. --------- Highest Rankings: 🥇#1 in Urban Legends 🥇 #1 in YA Horror 🥈#2 in Occult Top 5 in Psychological Horror Top 5 in Horror *Updates on Tuesdays and Fridays*

    For Kali, reality is a wasteland of meaningless routines-a world he only escapes through the vivid, surreal dreams he records in his notebook. But the border between his mind and the world begins to blur after a brief, tense encounter with a blue-haired stranger named Kassidy. As the city he knows starts to warp, streets fall into an impossible silence and buildings stretch toward a sky that no longer follows the rules of logic. How did he end up here?

    #1 in "characterstudy" January 2024 #4 in "innerstruggle" January 2024 Sequel to Wandavision, Multiverse of Madness and my own Avengers: Incursion War. Nothing is as it seems, everything is as it seems, something is wrong, nothing is wrong... The truth, what is truth? But a concept that slowly loses all meaning, in the heart of a shattered mind. Suspense/Drama/Fantasy/Action/Adventure/Character Study This is a continuation of my highly praised story called AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR. Reading that book is a necessity in order to be fully immersed in Wanda's journey and how she got to this point. It was a deep character driven redemption story so if you love Wanda, you will NOT regret reading that book. It also takes place after my Midnight Suns book, where Wanda was also present. This is the 3rd story in a connected saga. The saga is compiled into one large story, called the secret wars saga. It begins with Avengers: Incursion War.The second is The Midnight Suns. There is also a short called Fading Away, set in between Wandavision and Multiverse of Madness, acting as a prelude to the saga. It is not essential to read fading away or midnight suns, however midnight suns adds some context and clues. This is a mix between script and novel format. Expect certain cinematic elements. Synopsis: After the events of "AVENGERS: INCURSION WAR" and "The Midnight Suns", Wanda Maximoff is living a peaceful and fulfilling life with her family while doing everything she can to make the world a better place and be the hero she was destined to be. However, the world does not see it that way. She is constantly plagued by constant episodes of anxiety and nightmares from her past... and a lingering presence beginning to haunt her day and night. Will she ever know peace? Or will she slowly succumb to the darkness until Time Runs Out.

    There are things that cannot be explained. Things that hide in dreams, in darkness... and sometimes, inside ourselves. This is not just a horror story. It is my story. A story about fear, sleep paralysis, shadows, false awakenings, and the terrifying feeling of slowly losing your sense of reality. I never wanted any of this to happen to me... but once it began, it never truly stopped. And maybe... it started long before I was even born.

    THE BLACK STATIC At exactly 2:13AM, the world glitches. Phones hiss with unexplained interference. Radios lose all frequency. Security cameras distort into waves of static. And inside that static... something speaks. Most people hear nothing but noise. But some hear voices. Voices that sound familiar. Voices that sound like people they lost. Voices that should not exist anymore. Kai Mercer, an audio engineer who spends his nights restoring corrupted recordings and decoding damaged sound files, never believed in unexplained phenomena. Until he receives a mysterious audio file from an unknown sender. A routine restoration job. Until 2:13AM. When the recording changes on its own. And the static says his name. Then it speaks with the voice of his missing sister. A sister who vanished years ago without a trace, leaving behind only a phone still recording endless noise. As Kai investigates, he uncovers something far worse than a corrupted file. Across the world, people are reporting the same signal. Some are listening. Some are obeying. And some are disappearing. They call it The Black Static. A signal that does not just transmit sound... It listens back.

What follows is a haunting journey through regret, hope, and the endless question that follows every human being: What if?

    Ash Ketchum, now sixteen and still blissfully oblivious to anything outside of training, battling, and winning, thought the most complicated thing in his life was choosing his next destination. Gary Oak, seventeen and trying to balance his prestigious Pokémon research with his career as the gym leader of Viridian City, believed he had everything under control and running exactly to his own high expectations. They were childhood rivals - always competing, always bickering, and always closer than either would admit - but soon finding a shaky truce and finally becoming good friends. That truce shatters when their casual Tuesday brunch at Pallet Town is interrupted as Professor Oak and Delia Ketchum both announce a pre-arranged, long-forgotten, and truly mind-boggling centuries-old family pact: Ash and Gary are to be married. Forced to set aside their differences and try to make a future together, Ash worries about keeping the news secret from his friends, whose reactions he suspects would range from utter disbelief to outright outrage. He was dreading the inevitable chaos their engagement would cause among his extended traveling family. Meanwhile, Gary has a much darker problem: he was forced to break up with his girlfriend. Leaf Midori, a brilliant young woman battling her own demons, views the naive Ash as a threat to Gary's prestigious future. She doesn't handle rejection well - especially when the reason is someone she deems so utterly unworthy. As the two rivals stumble through their strange new reality, a storm of resentment, secrecy, and obsession brews, threatening to unravel more than just their engagement. Rings were exchanged, but now a high-stakes rivalry for survival has truly begun... (⚠️This fanfiction is rated mature; veiwer discretion are adviced⚠️)

    INTRODUCTION: THE VILLA OF BROKEN ECHOES "The woods have eyes. But the basement... the basement has a heartbeat." It was the ultimate victory. Five strangers, united by a legendary gaming tournament win, forged a bond supposed to last a lifetime. They were a powerhouse squad: A CBI Agent, a Police Officer, a Hacker, a Corporate Heir, and a Crime Writer. When they found a majestic villa hidden in the forest for a suspiciously low rent, they ignored the local legends. To a team of professionals, "haunted" was just a word used to sell cheap real estate. But as the oak doors creak shut, logic begins to bleed. The air turns thick with the scent of old copper. Shadows move without a light source. And every night at midnight, a rhythmic, mechanical hum vibrates through the floorboards-an industrial growl from a basement that should be empty. Is it a curse? A spirit? Or something far more physical, waiting with surgical patience to claim its prize? In this house, the stakes are no longer digital. There is no 'Respawn' button. 5 Friends. 1 House. 0 Escape. ⚠️ AUTHOR'S ADVISORY This is a dark psychological thriller. Read at your own risk: THE HAUNTED ILLUSION: The atmosphere feels paranormal, but the terror is chillingly real. THE ART OF BRUTALITY: Contains explicit graphic violence and Body Horror. This story explores the "preservation" of the human form. If you fear the sound of a chainsaw in the dark, turn back. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CAPTIVITY: Themes of isolation, abduction, and intense dread. The killer doesn't just want you dead-he wants you eternal. Step inside. But remember: once the basement door opens, the screaming never stops.
