    No one is safe. The torch of man and every single intelligent being on the planet is at stake. A hyper-intelligent race known as the Endall sees themselves as the superior race and they will die defending that title. There are trillions upon trillions of these things that were created by the uncaring hands of evolution as a deadline that humanity failed to reach. And then there's Mosh. Mosh is a seemingly normal giant that is nothing but a pawn in the human military's eyes but he is much more than he realizes. Mosh is just living his life and sees himself as an unfortunate bystander in a global crisis. But he's being watched by more than just the eyes of the unknown. Viewer Discretion is advised for violence, gore, language, alcohol use, and sexual themes.

    Hello, you. . . .This collection holds the poems written in the aftermath . . . Plain words for the moment you feel misplaced in your own life. ^_^ A chronicle of searching- ➳ through half-open doors, ➳ through the hour between, ➳ through the scratch of longing, ➳ and the weight of what we carry ➳ because we were told to. ❀; ; ; These poems don't pretend to heal. They sit in the quiet after the lock clicks open without your permission, and they ask: what remains when you stop performing? what holds when you learn to hold nothing? ✧ ✦ ✧ Unlocked doesn't always mean free. Sometimes it just means exposed. Sometimes it just means still here. • ° ~ ° • still walking. still asking. still Tuesday. <A poetic edition.> : : : : Charlian. 🩷

    My debut Ln, in which the protagonist Satoshi Katsurou goes through a seemingly ordinary death. Expecting to be reincarnated in heaven, he ends up in an afterlife that is just as harsh as the real world. Waking up in the afterlife Katsurou finds himself in a world where Death actively performs compassion, a son racing to godhood, and a daughter who can perceive what seems to be infinite possibilities. The divine family carries the weight of the world they destroy and nurture simultaneously, a world that they could destroy should they be off by a mere milliseconds. This story isn't your typical power fantasy nor is it entirely polished, the first couple of chapters are a deterrent but the later chapters (90+) are what makes this story worth investing in!

    Chris Jenkins knows who he is. He follows orders. He keeps things running. He does his job. Then she starts appearing. A woman who shouldn't matter. A voice that won't leave. A feeling he can't explain. The system still works. He's still in control. Isn't he? Some changes don't feel like change at all.

    Sokka's life is a mess. His girlfriend died a year ago, he's not getting into his dream school, and he's constantly overshadowed by his younger sister. Frankly, he's just waiting for high school to be over, and on top of that, a girl named Suki keeps beating him at sports, the one thing he prides himself on being good at. But who knows, maybe Suki is just what he needs. Suki on the other hand, has her whole life together. She has a bright future, great friends, and a great team, although she can't help but wonder if they actually like her. The one thing she's missing, someone who understands her, something in her orderly life, moving like clockwork, that doesn't make sense, and she may have just found that someone.

They are placed here, now, as record. Contents include: • Lyrical, atmospheric fiction • Institutional and character-driven narratives • Fragments, anomalies, and recovered entries Status: Archive Entries Ongoing Update Schedule: New entries added every Wednesday and Sunday @ 7:30 PM EST Some records fade. Others refuse to. Additional essays and fragments can be found under The Quiet Archive.

    Some connections are not meant to be defined. When Yagnesh and Vedhi meet, nothing is spoken-yet something shifts. In a single moment of eye contact, two entirely different worlds recognize each other without understanding why. Vedhi carries a silence shaped by loneliness, expectations, and unspoken pain. Yagnesh carries a quiet strength that seeks meaning beyond appearances. As their paths begin to cross, they are drawn into something deeper than attraction-something that challenges their understanding of love, identity, and belonging. But not all connections are meant to be easy. Some are meant to awaken. And sometimes, before finding each other, we are forced to confront the parts of ourselves we've spent a lifetime avoiding.

    You're reading this right now. It feels real. Obvious. Certain. But what if that feeling is the only thing holding everything together? You trust your memories. You trust your thoughts. You trust what you see. But you've never actually proved any of it. This book doesn't try to prove anything. It does something worse. It asks questions you can't fully answer. About reality. About memory. About time. About you. What if your life didn't build up to this moment? What if it only feels like it did? Reality might not be what you think. Time might not work the way you feel it does. And the "you" reading this might not be as stable as you believe. This isn't a horror story. But it will stay with you like one. Because once you see it, you can't unsee it. This isn't a story. It's a slow breakdown of everything you thought you understood. Read it if you want answers. Keep reading if you're okay losing them.

A Sim with a mind of her own now lives in her game, and refuses to follow commands and cannot be deleted. Even if she quits the game, it's too late. She will not escape what she installed, as it's now in her computer, her personal emails, and her life.
