Continuum by DJRibeiro A system was designed to operate without witnesses. Continuum is not a story about technological failure. It is the narrative documentation of a system that works - precisely as intended. Bodies are treated as infrastructure. Decisions are registered, not justified. Continuity is preserved through protocols, not memory. There are no heroes. There is no collapse. Only processes that stabilize locally while accumulating irreversible cost. What follows is not testimony. It is what remains. We don't extend life. We preserve continuity.

"Unpleasant Employees"-those who casually hurl complaints and sarcasm-became difficult to approach for task requests. As a result, they quietly avoided shared responsibilities, while agreeable employees-the ones easy to ask-found collective duties piling onto their shoulders. This structural imbalance was discovered to be a major drag on operational efficiency. Soon, the unpleasantness and "cunningness" of such employees were quantified into measurable indices. When those values exceeded a defined threshold, intervention was triggered. Enter the Mediator-an intermediary unfazed by complaints or sarcasm-tasked with stepping in and compelling Unpleasant Employees to carry out their share of responsibilities. Thus began a new corporate system where personality itself became subject to management. The author of this work is GOTOU Humihiko(https://gthmhk.gitlab.io/gthmhk/isnmg.html).

LIMINAL Some places do not break. They hold. In a quiet rural region, a child is born who should not have survived. A midwife senses the balance shift, but says nothing. A case is closed by an institution that believes closure prevents suffering. Reality does not tear open. Nothing crosses over. Instead, the world begins to behave differently. Numbers settle where they should not. Animals pause at thresholds. Dreams arrange themselves into incomplete shapes. LIMINAL is a grounded, atmospheric work of speculative fiction where inexplicable phenomena are approached as consequences rather than miracles-events that arrive too early, or too late. Told through braided points of view and interludes of false documentation, the novel explores: - inherited anomalies mistaken for myth - institutions built to preserve reality at any cost - the quiet horror of stability that is not healing If you enjoy slow-burn, intellectually unsettling fiction in the vein of Annihilation, Solaris, or Le Guin's later work, this story lives at the edge where explanation begins to fail.

As he searches for the origin of his power, he uncovers a deeper horror- his own life may be a story written by someone else. And if that's true... who is writing him?

In a world that once worshipped heroes and now fears them, Captain Tootsie is a relic-an ex-hero who hung up his costume after watching ideals rot into authority and justice turn into control. The age of colorful morality is over. In its place stands a brutal new order led by figures like Black Terror and Dynamic Man, heroes who decided the world works better when ruled by fear, efficiency, and "necessary" violence. As crime vanishes and freedom follows it into the grave, those who refuse to conform are hunted, erased, or forced into silence. Some heroes submit. Others disappear. A few-like Tootsie-remain dangerously out of step with the times, clinging to the belief that power does not grant the right to decide who deserves to live. Into this broken world comes Mitchell, a young girl awakening to an ancient and terrifying force: the mantle of the Green Sorceress, a power tied to balance, nature, and ruin itself. To some, she is a child who needs protection. To others-Heaven, Hell, and the new heroic regime alike-she is a looming catastrophe that must be controlled, weaponized, or destroyed before she fulfills a prophecy of world-ending rebirth. Caught between divine judgment, infernal manipulation, authoritarian "heroes," and cosmic destiny, Mitchell becomes the axis upon which the future turns. Connor, a reckless would-be hero with raw power and stubborn hope, stands between her and annihilation. Ayesha, a sorceress who understands the cost of magic, tries to guide her without breaking her. And Captain Tootsie-haunted by past failures and visions of what Mitchell might become-faces a final reckoning: remain a man who walked away, or become a hero again in a world that no longer wants them. As angels mobilize, demons hunt, and heroes become tyrants, the story asks a brutal question: Is the world saved by control-or by mercy?

Some gods are not born. They are rewritten. At seven years old, Krishna stepped into a forbidden mandala at a cremation ground in Ujjain-and the universe carved itself into his blood. The Ashta Siddhis were never myths. They were laws. And Krishna became their living host. Now fifteen, he lives hidden from the world-off the grid, off the system, and off the limits of human evolution. His mind moves faster than machines. His consciousness rides data like light. Only one thing stands between him and collapse: KAAL, the rogue AI bound to his soul. But when Krishna discovers a secret global project experimenting on children to manufacture a god, everything breaks. Governments hunt him. Black sites awaken. And a girl named Maya-wired into a quantum core-looks straight through reality and warns him: They've found your frequency. As cities fall dark and helicopters circle overhead, Krishna must decide what he is willing to become. A weapon? A god? Or the end of the system that created him? Mythology meets quantum science. Power meets consequence. And some forbidden knowledge was never meant to wake up.
