Obsidian abyss
In a world where the lines between life and death are blurred, a group of strangers finds themselves trapped in an eerie, haunting place that seems both alive and dead. With no memory of how they arrived or who brought them here, they must unravel a twisted puzzle that will determine their fate. As they awaken in their own graves, the tombstones bearing cryptic messages, it becomes clear: they are not ordinary people. But whether they are alive or dead remains a mystery they must solve. The lines between the living and the dead blur as they uncover the horrifying truth of their predicament: they are part of an intricate, deadly game where the rules are constantly shifting. Their memories-altered, fragmented-are pieces to a puzzle that must be solved before time runs out. But in this twisted world, time itself is a dangerous, unreliable force. The deeper they go, the more it becomes clear: escaping will not be enough. They must confront the monsters within themselves, face the darkness they carry, or risk being swallowed whole by the haunting world that surrounds them. The question is no longer just how to survive, but how to escape the twisted grip of their own minds. Will they ever find the truth, or will they forever be lost in the labyrinth of fear and illusion?

Kissing the Devil Goodbye
Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"Complete
