The Loop of Destiny by Zenosine

To all those who have felt the weight of time's relentless embrace, who have searched for meaning in the endless cycle of existence, and who have dared to dream of a future beyond the confines of the present. May this story ignite your imagination and remind you that even in the face of the unknown, there is always hope. This story began as a whisper in the darkest corners of my mind, a haunting melody of time loops and forgotten realities. It was a tale of a man trapped in a cyclical prison, a prisoner of his own past, yearning for a future that seemed perpetually out of reach. As I delved deeper into this enigmatic concept, I realized that it was more than just a simple narrative of time travel and paradox. It was a reflection on the human condition, on our struggle with time, our yearning for meaning, and our constant search for something beyond the limitations of our existence.

The 10th Circle - Abyss [Complete] by taivaan_sininen

Every prototype technology has its risks. After an accident involving a novel robotic suit, Keres cadet Sky begins to have recurring lucid nightmares where she finds herself in a prison called Tartaros. Soon, one thing becomes clear: Tartaros is more than just a dream, and as the lines between reality and her subconscious begin to blur, Sky is forced to question her own perception of the world. Meanwhile, more and more mysterious accidents shake the city of Pharos to the core, threatening the safety and security of the last surviving humans on earth. Through her own accident, Sky finds herself drawn into the investigation of an enigmatic task force. The prototype technology, her dreams, a dubious doctor, a missing part of her medical files and a dark secret from her past all seem to be connected, but how? Form here on out, there's only one direction left to go: Down. _______________ Featured on Wattpad's UndiscoveredBooks profile on their "Need to Read" reading list Highest Rankings: #1 in Philosophy [17.01.2019] #8 in Mind [17.01.2019] #8 in Science [13.03.2019] #10 in Psychology [28.02.2019] #24 in Science-Fantasy [17.01.2019] #39 in Dreams [17.01.2019] The 10th Circle centers around questions about the human mind: what is it, what happens with it when we sleep and dream, what happens with it when we die, and what does it mean to be human and to have a mind in the first place.
