The balance of space and time is smooth, unblemished- or at least was- now, ripples and cracks appear on it; Every so often, just showing that there's something or someone tampering with time and space.
The year 2058, technology has advanced to the point where the world is overrun by machines, humans don't stand a chance against Artificial Intelligence. Yet there's a small hope, PO. Paranormal Oddity: a disease one in 6 million people are infected with. Where your mind and body is enhanced and capable of things far beyond the imaginations of humans. Supernatural, paranormal, inhuman power, magic. It goes by many names.
In the 1700s if you were a PO, you'd be caught, and executed in ways far worse than witches were. Nowadays, in the post-apocalyptic age; PO's are regarded as hope, a possibility against the robots. They're hunted down, studied, and used as a weapon by the government. You can't escape. Unless you can wink out of existence. Away from the government, away from the robots, away from humanity. Sounds impossible, right? But if oddities exist, why not that?
A group of young escaped Paranormal Oddities tries to survive on their own, facing pain, anguish, desperation, acrimony, confusion, sorrow... all in one single bittersweet requiem. But every song has a replay button.

I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived.

These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .Complete
The Toss of a Coin
Supernaturals are real... But their not horrible creatures causing harm and destruction; atleast not anymore. After centuries of witnessing the heinous acts committed by humanity they have kept their existence hidden from the entire world knowing that if they were found out they may face all kinds of troubles. Unfortunately they haven't been able to hide from everyone and many humans have spent generations trying to see them either proven to exist or completely destroyed. However none have found any success in it until a massive organization which wishes to see them all extinct has somehow come into possession of irrefutable evidence of their existence in hopes of exposing them all to the world so that they can easily take them down. Needless to say, it definately doesn't turn out well. Can a group of 5 college students who all happen to be supernaturals manage to find out who is behind this exposure of their kind? Can they stop them before this group destroys everything that they care for? and most importantly can they show the humans that supernaturals are not what they say in the legends anymore? It's a game of chance and if they screw up they could end up dead. It all seems to matter on the toss of a coin.

The Marionetteʼs Puppeteer (Volume 1)
I don't know if I died or not, but the moment I regained my consciousness, I was already standing on a field full of grass and surrounded by trees. "W-what is that...?" A screen was floating in front of me. 「 Welcome, new adventurer! 」 "Adventur...rer?" But..... I'm so small! My body is the size of a 9 year old kid! And I don't even know what the hell happened to me. After I read some information on the screen, I was amazed that the world I was in was like a VRMMORPG. Magic exists and so does the level. "Huh?" When I look at my status, I'm not neither a mage that cast magic nor a swordsman that wields a sword, instead.... I'm a puppeteer! Will I survive in this new world despite knowing that I don't have a place to stay or food to eat? Note: This is more likely in Fantasy. Magic goes bruh broom brr. Also, there is some terms in this stories that is hard to understand like skills, ultimate skill, so read the prologue for that one. Anyways give me a vote y'all Started Serializing on October 9, 2022 and finished: December 28, 2022 [Volume 1]Complete
