William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does.

The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Complete

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
