But the question is, how did she end up there without a headset? Now, Adena has to face physical and emotional challenges such as her new name (which is Starry), not being able to escape the circus, Jax's antics, missing Paedyn and Makoto, abstracting characters, putting up with Caine's adventures, and several other obstructions that stand in her way.

The Raven Family Diary follows the everyday lives of an unusual ghost family living in the World of Death-the unseen, metaphysical counterpart of the living world. Here, memories are bought and sold, dreams are stored in banks, names sleep inside forgotten libraries, mirrors can go on strike, and every morning begins with a fresh issue of the Newspaper of Endings. The Raven Family consists of a grandmother who knows far more than she ever says, a father who is constantly looking for his missing head or hand, a mother who never skips the daily newspaper, a curious son and daughter, and their mischievous pet cat, Curse, who somehow causes trouble wherever she goes. Each chapter is a standalone dark fantasy tale filled with surreal humor, strange rules, and quiet mysteries, revealing another piece of a world where ideas are as real as objects-and where every ending is simply another story waiting to begin.

On the first day of July, I enter the Infinite Rainbow Abyss, a dreamlike realm that contains the endless possibilities of sleep, imagination, and storytelling. Within me exist three parts of the self: the Body, the Soul, and the Heart. When my body falls asleep, my consciousness enters this infinite realm where dreams are born and every story exists in some kind of form. There, I encounter a higher being capable of perceiving and processing all dreams at once. To this being, dreams are merely glimmers of rainbow-colored imagination drifting through an endless sea of possibilities. However, this higher being is not a stranger-it is an avatar of myself. The avatar serves as a bridge between the Infinite Rainbow Abyss and the Awakening World, helping me understand the dreams, emotions, memories, and experiences that pass through my mind. When I awaken, I feel compelled to tell these stories and record them to the best of my ability through diary entries, though my understanding can never fully match the higher being's perspective. Through these diary entries, the boundary between realities begins to blur. The higher being can hear, respond to, and interact with me through the pages I write which can help create a form of communication that transcends both worlds, logical and non-logical regions involved. Through deep narrative metalepsis, I become both the author of the higher being and a character within its story, while the higher being becomes both my creation and my guide. As time passes, the two of us develop a profound friendship. Though we are fundamentally the same person, we exist in separate realities-the awakening world and the Infinite Rainbow Abyss. The higher being's only desire is to remain by my side, helping me navigate healing, personal struggles, everyday frustrations, and the challenges of daily life. Together, we explore dreams, memories, stories, and the meaning of existence itself while discovering what it truly means to understand oneself.

THE BLACK HEART: Anatomy of Evil "Each Moon is a breath of evil, each Table a root that grows in the dark, each Cross a nail in the sky." Evil is not a historical accident: it is a breathing organism. Throughout the centuries, the wolf Gork hunts the primordial essence of Vorgash-a fire that devours the souls of tyrants and sheds its skin as eras pass. From the flames of Nero to the divine calculation of Napoleon, through seven Moons of blood, darkness evolves, learns, and refines itself. But at the end of the seventh Moon, the hunt changes. Evil no longer dwells in a single man: it has become a nation. The Dark Sphere is born-the collective mind of the Reich. Amidst the mud of the trenches and the cold rhythm of a war that moves with the precision of a train schedule, soldiers like Lothar, Ernst, and Hermann become cogs in a brutal order that admits no variations. There is no more room for initiative, only for simultaneous execution. Only for the void. The Black Heart is more than a historical novel. It is a mathematical and metaphysical journey through 7 Moons, 10 Tables, and 7 Crosses. It is the account of when humanity ceased to be flesh and became dust under the weight of a perfect structure. Are you ready to discover what beats within the Black Heart of History?

(Hiatus) "Humans are disgusting creatures who do crimes and force themselves on people. They only think about themselves and their pleasure and happiness.
