Tesseract Diaries
This is my first attempt in writing a story, so don't judge too harshly pls. ☻︎ In a sterile, lifeless world ruled by the Administration-mechanical entities driven by cold logic-a single anomaly disrupts their perfect system. A human mind, fragmented and glitch-like, persists in defiance of their relentless scrutiny. Trapped within a simulated reality, where nothing is truly real, the protagonist wrestles with memories that might be fabricated, emotions that evade categorization, and the existential weight of being a question in a world that demands answers.
Originate - Season 1
They call them Exelistis, a Greek word for The Evolver. One day the ground shook, and before anyone knew what was going on, they appeared. Bursting out of the ground, they wasted no time starting to scan people, and ultimately decided their fate. You were either judged unworthy and disposed of, or you were 'Accepted' and turned into a weapon. I saw as my best friend was murdered right before my eyes. Shaken up and unable to move, I knew it was my turn next. The machine picked me up, and with it's one eye, it looked at me and scanned me. Afterwords, it spoke "Chimera." What does that mean? The next thing I knew, I woke up, and my life was never the same again. A war had broken out between our own kind, separated by titles those mechanical things gave us: "Rejected or Accepted." All I know is I have to survive.Complete
Prisons of Ice and Fire
A CliFi short story. Imagine a place where there is a searing thousand mile desert that runs to a sea... ...a sea that one hundred miles off shore is so cold you die within a minute if you fall in. Five hundred miles to the south of the sea is a frozen landscape in perpetual winter... ... a place that is always snowed on and that frequently calves monster icebergs. Hardly anywhere on land is safe; little life survives. The last refuge of mankind are the Stilt Cities, floating in the middle of the ocean. To the north are the Desert Domes: the last farms, protecting plants from the intense heat and sand. To the south the Ice Quarries: the last supply of fresh, cooling water. A current system moves strongly along the divide of heat and cold, but rarely over it. You, however, move across it like a metronome... tick... tick... tick... ...and as the prison ship Destiny plies the waves, a secretive cult have a strange request of the Captain.Complete

Monarchs of Ruination
How far would you go to save your family? Would you take a life for them? A hundred? A thousand? How many before your conscience finally screams, "Enough"? They answered this question with [Ruination]-an unprecedented catastrophe that wiped out countless universes, all for the faintest chance to reclaim what was lost. No hesitation. No regret. Perhaps the Heavens sought to reward them for their love-or punish them for the slaughter of untold worlds. Either way, they were granted a second chance-to return to the past and reshape their fate. In a world where every lifeform's destiny is predetermined by the Heavens, NOX and Lucas uncover a chilling truth: the purpose of life is not merely to exist, but to pursue [Transcendence]. One is destined to achieve [Transcendence], while the other-whether willing or unwilling-must assist another in achieving it. Follow NOX and Lucas, as one is fated to transcend, while the other is doomed to be forgotten by history. Can they break free from their predetermined paths? Or will they scream, "I will defy the Heavens!" like a protagonist in a Dragon Country novel? Can the Heavens tolerate such blasphemy?
