Amelia and Josh are journalist co-workers in Destin Flordia. instead of reporting real-world problems, they often play superstition games. one particular day, Amelia brings home a game called "The Shadow Amongst Us," what lies beneath the name is the darkness that stands for its name.

The objective of the game is to avoid the shadow and protect the purity of your soul. if caught by the shadow, you must choose a card of desire and place it in the middle. which then, the player takes a piece of the dough heart and puts it in the middle. when the player uses all their soul, they cant play until the next round starts.

When Josh roll's the dice to end his turn, a darkness returns the turn. For every wish and desire, isn't worth the cost of heaven or hell. Despite the rules that tied it all together, Amelia soon finds out the game they played is as dark as the cost of anyone's desire.

legend has it, that anyone who plays the game with the last roll, a darkness is given birth to. a shadow, convincing as a documentary will do anything for a price not worth paying.

Realm Of Gods: Empress of Chaos  by mars45hall
3 parts Ongoing Mature
Synopsis Amelia was once an ordinary girl on Earth-until the day her fate was rewritten. A cosmic rift tore through reality, pulling her into the unknown. Lost in the infinite abyss, she should have perished. Instead, she transcended. Chosen by chaos itself, she became something beyond mortal, divine, or eldritch understanding-the Primordial Goddess of Chaos. From The Void Beyond Existence, she watches. She does not rule, nor does she guide-not yet. But she knows all. She has seen civilizations rise and crumble, gods ascend and fall, and the echoes of a war that shook the very foundations of reality. Long ago, an Ancient War tore across existence-a war so great that its truths have been buried beneath myths, lost in time, and rewritten by those who came after. Demons, gods, angels, dragons, elves, beastkin, and mortals clashed in a struggle that shaped the very fabric of reality itself. The war ended, but its true consequences remain unseen. From the remnants of that conflict, new races rose to power, forging realms of their own. Kingdoms, empires, and divine dominions flourished in the aftermath, unaware of the deeper truths that lie hidden beneath their foundations. They believe themselves to be the rulers of their own fate, blind to the forces that still linger in the shadows. But whispers persist-of something beyond gods and mortals, of a force that predates creation itself. Some call it myth. Others, prophecy. And in the darkest corners of existence, a cult whispers secrets long forgotten, waiting for the day when the old gods return. And Amelia? She watches. She has waited long enough. Fate is moving once more.
