A black body wishes to fill its belly. An hourglass pours its sand tediously yet vigorously till rapture. A savior of man must be elected to liberate the depths below, or existence will seize and lay in the belly of the body.All Rights Reserved

anatomy of hunger by coltdoesntwritealot

Rowan Graves has always been sickly-weak, frail, and prone to illness. But when an unexplained hunger consumes him, it's no longer just his body that's changing; it's his very existence. As the hunger deepens, Rowan's once-persistent appetite for food morphs into a grotesque craving for human flesh. At first, he resists, terrified by the thought of hurting anyone, but his body begins to transform, and the need becomes undeniable. His muscles stretch and shift unnaturally, his teeth sharpen, and his mind becomes clouded by the voices of those he's devoured-haunting remnants of his victims, still trapped inside him. Desperate to find a cure, Rowan plunges into the darkness of his family's past, discovering horrifying secrets that might explain his condition-and a family curse that has plagued generations. But every day he survives, the hunger grows stronger, pulling him toward something far darker than he could have ever imagined. Now, with no choice but to feed, Rowan must navigate the terrifying reality of living as a monster, all while trying to hold onto whatever remains of his humanity. In a world where hunger is never satisfied, Rowan Graves must choose whether to embrace the monstrous urge within him-or fight to keep the last vestiges of himself alive.

The Clockwork Heir by richardjunz

In the heart of a bustling steampunk city, 18-year-old Liora is an orphan working as a clockmaker's apprentice. Her life is ordinary, if not a little dull, until the day an enigmatic customer brings in a peculiar device: a clockwork box engraved with glowing symbols. "Fix this," the customer whispers, "and you'll uncover your destiny." Liora's curiosity outweighs her caution. She spends nights studying the box, discovering that it's not a clock-it's a map. When activated, it projects a shimmering route leading to the fabled "Vault of Aeons," a legendary artifact said to grant its possessor mastery over time itself. Before Liora can make sense of her discovery, she's attacked by a group of shadowy figures, revealing that others seek the box. Fleeing for her life, she's rescued by a roguish skyship captain named Cyrus, who offers her safe passage-if she splits the treasure with him. Reluctantly, Liora agrees, and they set off on an adventure filled with treacherous airship battles, hidden traps, and ancient riddles. As they journey, Liora uncovers secrets about her past. Her parents were not mere clockmakers but key members of an ancient order tasked with guarding the Vault. Her connection to the artifact is stronger than she ever imagined, and unlocking it might not just reshape her future-but rewrite the fabric of time itself. But the closer they get to the Vault, the more dangerous their path becomes. Rival treasure hunters, a crumbling alliance with Cyrus, and the revelation of the artifact's dark cost force Liora to make an impossible choice: seize the power to change the past or protect the present.
